Great food and excellent service from Bryce.Posted on Google Ralph VeaseyJuly 28, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife wanted to watch FIFA so we watched the championship game at the Wellwood bar. The bartenders were friendly and it was $1.50 oyster day. So we had oysters and crab dip in a bread bowl. The crab dip was excellent and the oysters were good.Posted on Google John LynchJuly 24, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crabs were outstanding. The fried shrimp dinner was excellent. The dirty martini was great. Beer was cold. Server was excellent. Fantastic evening.Posted on Google Matthew J. EllisJuly 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first visit to The Wellwood for our anniversary dinner, and it definitely won’t be our last. Our server, Teddy, was outstanding. He was attentive without hovering, personable, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel special. We almost never order dessert when we go out, but Teddy did such a great job that he completely sold us on it… and we’re glad he did. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The dining room was beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for an anniversary dinner. While we always try to support local businesses in Havre de Grace whenever we can, The Wellwood is more than close enough to earn a spot on that list for us. Excellent food, exceptional service, and a memorable first experience. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Teddy, for helping make our anniversary even more special!
