★★★★★ 5.0 epic peppy · Mar 2026

Wowza was my family's meal great and so was the service. I saw their nachos on Facebook and knew immediately I wanted to eat here!!!. Check out the fajitas, they came out sizzling and steaming hot . They even have a stage for a live band it looks like. Do not pass up this stop in republic, you will absolutely love the food and ambience here!!!

The food is delicious, the drinks are yummy, the atmosphere is fun. The floors could be cleaner, and the table was wobbly but the food sort of makes up for it. Oh, and I think the place turns in to some sort of club at night. The back room has a stage, band equipment, and lights.

My husband decided to venture here from Nixa for an adventure. Upon walking in, I wasn’t a quite sure what to think. But it ended up being really good. The homemade salsa was tasty. Our waiter Noah was very kind and helpful. I tried a combo plate with a tamale, cheese enchilada and a chile relleno. We come from a city that has the best green chile all over, so it’s been an adjustment not having this option here for our Mexican food. That being said, the food was actually quite tasty. There is a stage for live music, and we look forward to coming back when we can hear some live music. Overall good dinner. Apparently they are remodeling the flooring and that will make a huge difference in the atmosphere.

Very good food and great service. We had a large party but the managed our orders and tickets flawlessly. The salsa was great with chip, definitely better than a lot of places. My mother's order came out wrong and they corrected it immediately and quickly. Everyone in our party left there with full a belly and a satisfied appetite. We will come back for sure.

The food was great. Our server was nice. It was our first time here. Would definitely stop in again when I’m up this way.
