EXCELLENT Based on 2423 reviews Holly SlaterAugust 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attentive and friendly staff, great crabs! S MAugust 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I think I went here when I was a child. I had memories of it being an old restaurant. If so, it has changed...for the better! This is my wife and my new happy place to boat to and sit outside, have a beverage, and listen to live music. Food, the past 4 times, has been incredible. If you are in the mood, try the fried chicken.... Cindy WisniewskiAugust 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just love it! James WindellAugust 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anna was absolutely amazing...by far 1 of the best servers we have ever had.We were a large group and she was on top of everything.She is definitely a rockstar...we will always ask for her on every visit. YvonneAugust 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Typically go here in the summer to enjoy all you can eat crabs. We wanted to celebrate my fiance's birthday with a delicious dinner (we could enjoy and not have to prepare) and with all the restaurants having to close their dining areas, we wanted to support local businesses and ordered from the Wellwoods take out family dinner meals. Braised beef brisket, garden salad with vegetable medley. Such a pleasant experience from ordering, to picking up our meal. The staff members were super friendly. Our food was hot and we were blown away with the quantity of food as well as quality for the price. You really can't beat it, we said we would be talking about that meal for a while, and that's definitely going to hold true. We are looking forward to ordering it again. Our daughter kept saying how tasty it was. The beef was so tender, and was flavorful. The vegetable medley was a mixture of everything from bell pepper to brussel sprouts. I wish I had better words to describe how satisfying this meal was. It brought a feeling of "normalcy" in these not so "normal" times. I highly recommend supporting this local restaurant. We stopped in for lunch and our daughter ordered the kids shrimp meal, best ever! Came in a cute crock with the shrimp steamed and peeled, she truly loved it and was gobbling it up, the apple sauce she kept commenting how she loved the apple chunks in it. As usual, the prime rib was delish and both were cooked perfectly. The waiters, not just our, but all on staff that afternoon were friendly and attentive. Scallops, crabcakes, oysters on the half shell, and the Smith Islands dessert cake are a must!
