After moving to the area we were pleasantly surprised to find a great restaurant and bar with live music too! The service in the bar is exceptional and be sure to say ‘Hey’ to Missy! The owners are very invested in the community and do amazing work with Meals on Wheels too. Be sure to check it out!

I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for Wahoo Barbecue. Recently, my niece visited the restaurant and felt uncomfortable due to the way other customers were looking at her. Unfortunately, she was the only Black person in the restaurant at the time, and it was clear she was being treated differently. Her boyfriend spoke to the manager about the situation, and I’m truly grateful for how they handled it. The manager not only listened but also responded with genuine care and empathy. They assured them that they have a zero-tolerance policy for that type of behavior and that no one should feel out of place in their restaurant. To further show their commitment to a welcoming environment, they refunded her meal and even offered a dessert, but honestly, the gesture wasn’t what meant

Just moved here from the New Mexico and Texas area. After experiencing great BBQ out there I was worried about relocating here and trying to find some. Luckily they have great BBQ here! We got smoked wings, pulled chicken, and some brisket and liked it! The sauce selection was pretty good and we enjoyed the meal. The best part about this place is the staff, they make you feel right at home, almost like you’re eating at a nice cookout with family. Definitely recommended!

I visited Wahoo on a recent Saturday afternoon looking to get some smoked goodness. What I experienced was a mixed bag. Staff was ok, but not overly friendly and the dirty fishtank was a turn off. The brisket was fair, maybe a little overcooked (zero tug) and could have been trimmed a little more. The pulled chicken was good, but the pork was bitter, like they smoked the butts with some harsher woods like oak or mesquite, likey the same as they did the brisket. We season pork differently than beef and I see smoke is a seasoning. The pork was a little bitter and somewhat dry. It should taste good without any sauce. As for sauces and sides the fries were food service and the beans had a good kick, but we're also overcooked and mushy. The three table sauces we're their version of a Carolin

I am just going to say it: this place is disgusting. I waited 15 minutes and paid $18 for a pulled chicken sandwich. I got a microwaved sandwich!! The bun was so hot, it fell apart. The chicken had no taste. I took a photo before throwing this in the trash!!
