Best WLM Reviews

After walking the Cliff Walk end-to-end, we decided to eat hear and it was exactly what we needed.
The burgers were great, no to greasy or sloppy like how a burger with tons of sauces usually become, and the service was quick.
Services was great too. Our server did forget to bring us our clam chowder, but they quickly made up for it by giving it to us as take-out for the inconvenience.
I would certainly go back.
Smoked wings! Say no more. I will definitely add this place in my “Top 10 best wings list in US”.
The meat was soft and a bit juicy while the skin was crunchy but not greasy and you could smell and taste that smokiness in each bite.
I asked for a bit of sauce as a side, the sauce that is added to the wings is enough to give that inch of flavour without removing the one acquired while being smoked. In my opinion this was a good choice to add more of sauce if I wanted, however as the way they are cooked it is just tasty.
I didn’t have the chicken w/waffle but I must say that it looks pretty good and fulfilling, my friend said that it was.
Their amaretto sour made my night or it actually started it. I was not sure if I wanted to try this drink with the egg white (I know this is how it has to be prepared) nevertheless I was delighted with every sip.
Excellent location, fun atmosphere(we sat outside - it was beautiful outside), and quite possibly the world’s best Banana Pudding (the nutmeg MAKES it!) We went back two nights in a row just for the pudding. The mocktails were also delicious- friendliest bartender in town! Made the experience enjoyable. Had a great time.
Food was excellent on a busy festival Sunday. Wings were a tad overcooked but flavor was great . Recommend the crab dip as well
Breakfast was delicious. The drinks were perfect not watered down. My grits were the best! Just wish they had jelly for the biscuit , but I fixed it at home ????
I’ve never had to do this. We moved here in 2022 and this place was my absolute favorite. I’m a creature of habit so in the 15+ times we’ve been I’ve gotten the chicken sandwhich each time. The last two visit have been a joke in a constant decline the past year of so. The chicken is lost because all
You get is bun. The chicken skins have become husks of their former selves. The service has been horrendous, and I say that as someone who also works in the industry. Didn’t matter the time of day of season. The only decent thing still is the bartending. Wish I took a picture of my sandwhich. Did get a picture of the dessert. The scoop of ice cream was bigger than the slice of pie. If you’re going to charge me $100 for apps, drinks, entrees, and dessert, then give me my monies worth. I’ll pay more to actually eat. Such a disappointment to a place i would brag about and being out of town family.
I rarely give bad reviews, but this is just the case.
It started with the service - the restaurant was almost empty, but we had to wait for anyone from the staff to pay attention to us, to be seated. I had to go upstairs to find someone to ask for it. And only when another lady after us did the same - a girl appeared and seated both parties. Meanwhile she exhibited clear annoyance ???? . Meanwhile we noticed 3 other staff members chatting or hanging out yawning on the stairs. So this is clearly not the case of being understaffed, but bad management.
They have a good selection of drafts, and that added 1 star to the rating.
As for the food it was average at best.
The kids cheeseburger was plain inedible - overcooked, even hard to bite!
Lobster roll had plenty of flavor but too little lobster meat and the meat was somehow too crunchy and chewy. Definitely not worth $30.
My fish and chips was so-so. Although I really liked the sauce it couldn't compensate for the blandness of the fish.
The best part was their clam chowder - quite original, plenty of salmon and smokiness from bacon.
Delicious food.
Good presentation.
Refreshing lemonade.
Fast service.
Polite staff.
