Thanksgiving buffet was awesome!Posted on Brandis Van ItersonOctober 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My server Joe was very personable and delivered amazing service. I asked for insights on must tries from employees that were around and some local patrons and I was not disappointed with their recommendations. The raw oysters and the sauce were fresh and delicious. Joe's go to drink to make was a Cosmo and it was refreshing! I couldn't decide between the Crab soup or bisque and I found out I could do half and half - delicious!! The fresh rolls and croissants were delivered with a maple syrup flavored whipped butter- I couldn't stop eating it! The crab cake was flavorful. Would highly recommend sitting at the bar if you're a solo diner, or even with a partner. The music playing brought back nostalgic memories, the service was top notch, and overall such a great experience. I'll go back again if I find myself in that area.Posted on Scott MoranOctober 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great time at The Wellwood today. My wife and I were in town for a one night getaway and everyone we met told us we needed to stop here before leaving town so we made sure to have lunch here. The fried green tomatoes were delicious. I have the Salmon BLT and she had the Shrimp Salad. Both were really large and filling. The fries were the best part, extra fried potato wedges. super crispy on the outside, thick, and soft on the inside. We will return!Posted on Ben Raab-LongOctober 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
