Reviews
We love going to Mr Wahoo's. The food is excellent and very affordable. We love the roasted pork, lasagna, hamburgers, chicken, the hillbilly, the dessert (chocolate pudding). :)
I'm not to sure how to start... Very seldom am I at a loss for word..... It's a old diner probably original wallpaper, tables, and decor, but getting past that the service was very friendly. I'm kinda thinking smaller town vibes, so that friendly greeting like omg !!! Thank God u came in lol !!! Ok, as for food... Cheeseburger was a decent size, but it was just a Cheeseburger, nothing stood out, noting made it better. It was BASIC !!! French fries soggy on both plates. Hubby didn't want the soup offered so he ordered Cole slaw and let me have it. I'm not a fan. It's a texture thing. It was cut in small pieces, mind thought potatoes but tasted slaw. Lol. I got a standard club. It was pretty good !!! Bread nice and toasty enough toppings, I'd get it again. But my overall feelings are. I'm gonna try it again !!! I saw some Fried chicken that came out after I ordered, and I have a feeling THATS the special thing here. So we will end this, and as Arnold says, I'll BE BACK!!!
Always good, with large servings. Friendly atmosphere. Waitresses are very knowledgeable of the menu It gets packed during dining hours, go early!
The restaurant is handicap wheelchair accessable, a big plus for us. Mostly booths , but tables in the center and we had no problem with seating. Our party ordered Hot Beef, Hot Turkey and chicken parm. Hot beef was " the most tender she ever had ". The hot turkey is "a huge portion", and she liked it. I had the chicken parm, and it had a very generous portion of spaghetti. The place is a bit dated but clean and it came highly recommended by a local, well founded.
If you don't eat at Mr. Wahoo's, are you even a local? They have the best service in the entire Midwest!
