Best WLM Reviews
Attempted to dine here on a Saturday night and while our visit was cut short, from my short time there it was pleasant. We were seated immediately and choose to sit outside. Our waitress Destiny was great and was with us within minutes to get our drinks and food. The Smoked Salmon Dip was delicious, better than what I was expecting. The wings were about as good as what I expected them to be. Probably wouldn't order them again. Regardless, I do plan on visiting them in the future and trying other items.
Had the hushpuppies, spinach salad, crab bisque to start. They were all exceptionally good and I am hard to please.
Tried the Club Sandwich, Fried Chicken and Shrimp and Grits with both styles of grits.
The carved meat on the club was awesome.
The gravy on the shrimp was great, I added lemon and it made it exceptionally good.
The fried chicken was scratch made and perfect.
A simply sophisticated grill & bar with multi-level seating & a Southern-influenced patio! Southern coastal cuisine: salmon, shrimp, steak, collard greens, burgers, hushpuppies, & empanadas! Two bars, tons of beer & wine! Add this gem to your next dinner adventure! ✨???????????????? #Restaurant #Foodie #Dinner #Drinks #Patio #SouthernCuisine #Coastal #Bar #Grill
The food is fantastic. Honesty, I wish we had come here sooner. This was worth the wait for a Friday night. So we waited at the bar and enjoyed a drink. We will be back.
I enjoyed the blackened trout, but the highlight of my meal was the sides. Feta scallion mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables with the actual grill marks and seasoned perfectly, and the baked macaroni, rich and creamy. All delicious and all better than i could make at home. Service was friendly and attentive. I had a great time.
I had dinner here with friends who highly recommended this restaurant. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and award winning wings. They were so good I forgot to snap pictures before we devoured them. Our server Kattie was nice and helpful when suggesting what sides were the best for our meals. I ordered their flounder dinner with collard greens and creamed corn. The flounder was lightly fried and it was tasted like I was eating a delicate fish. The way it was fried was perfect, not too crunchy but also not too soft that it fell apart. Their creamed corn came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. But their collard greens were everything I was looking for in taste. I wish I would have ordered an extra side of them just so I can take them home and eat them later. My husband had the 1885 burger and it was humongous but equally delicious. Our son had the kids hotdog and slice apples. The hot dog was a good portion for a three year old and he enjoyed the apples that came with the plate. Service again was great and the food was amazing. Restaurant was clean and spacious. They have an upstairs that we didn't explore but hope to the next time we come back.
05/18/2024 Update: Revisited this establishment by request of management. The standard menu was available on this visit and images of our dinner are after the four from earlier review of Valentine's date. Denise ordered fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. Denise's entree of ribeye steak well done but was still a little juicy with baked potato with sour cream and butter, and simple salad. I ordered BBQ chicken thighs and drumsticks with Carolina Gold sauce on the side with baked potato same as Denise and a house salad. Our Waitress Kattie, General Mgr. Tara along with Front House Mgr. Megan visited our table to greet us with the best attitudes possible. and went above and beyond to see we had a wonderful time this visit. Our server told us that Tara even waived the cost of our entire meal. We were asked if we planned a dessert, but we felt satisfied without any. However, Megan brought out a strawberry brownie with whip cream and caramel plus vanilla bean ice cream on the side to tempt us. We did leave gratuity for the staff. Food was better, service was excellent, and atmosphere currently plain on the inside.
02/14/2024 - My wife and I had Valentine's dinner at 1885 grill in Ooltewah, Tennessee. We endured last available seating upstairs on outside balcony with clear plastic wrapped curtains, which did have heaters available but were not in use during our stay. We could have eaten at the bar which was not reserved. We shared appetizers which were delicious, deviled eggs with candied bacon sprinkles and fried zucchini fritters. However, my filet mignon ordered medium was chewy with little flavor. I did order the bearnaise sauce on the side. Fingerling potatoes and carrots were good. Of course, the shared dessert was red velvet brownie alamode. We considered this meal below par because of the entree not as tender as expected for the price and could not order other beef alternatives that day, we asked, like ribeye steak which my wife would have preferred.
Wings were good. 8 come in an order, 2 drum sticks and 6 wings. Salmon was good as well as the veggies. I ate at the bar. Bartender gave all attention to the regulars. Never checked on me. Had to walk over to him for water.
