Best WLM Reviews

I come here specifically for their avocado toast, which is the best I’ve ever found! I actually moved to Tennessee and came back for a visit with my daughter and had to come here just for that avocado toast… Also, the bottomless mimosas are to die for with different flavors! Great atmosphere great food!!!
This is a busy but fun spot. They have darts and lots of TVs.
Little did we know we arrived during a speed dating session, and the place was packed!
Luckily, they offer valet parking, so there are no problems parking, and we were able to find a couple of places at the bar.
Drinks were stiff and spendy but not anymore of a mark up then any other trendy bar.
The food was just okay. The Korean bbq bowl was far better than the short rib grill cheese! But they do not have the crispy pork down in the Korean bbq bowl down as ours was super overcooked! Besides the pork, the bowl was really good. I would definitely order it again. However, the shortrib grill cheese was odd. We could not pinpoint what the strange flavor was, but it wasn't anything we care to have again.
We will venture to try them again sometime soon.
We discovered this place during the shutdown. It’s been through a remodel since. It has a creative menu and the service is great. They also have some specials such as Taco Tuesdays, Wing Wednesdays, and Cowboy Steak-Out Thursday’s. Happy hour is M-F from 2-6pm. They also have random activities, like a recent paint night. We enjoy this place. Pics are from several different trips. It’s dog friendly and sort of a 25-45 crowd most of the time. Outdoor seating is nice. Football on TV during season.
Young crowd with plenty of places to watch sports. The food was fantastic and worth a trip by itself. Happy hour prices are solid, especially for the area. There are kind of three different zones, each with their own atmosphere, so there's probably something to match your vibe here.
Great place to watch sports. Good food and drinks and friendly staff. I went there to watch the Euro 2024 and the experience was great!
7:20 pm Sat 3/9 it was packed cuz also UFC was playing. I did the OC Restaurant Week menu which was a steal. $9 house vodka soda lime was reasonable.
Absolutely terrible food, horrid service, and the drinks were garbage. The price point of this place is absolutely INSANE! we had a total of 8 entrees, no ones food was any better than mediocre at best. First rib piece was extremely dry with a sub-par taste, the second and third had no meat and were just chunks of fat. Would not recommend, zero out of ten.
Worst food experience in OC!
Warm beer, bad service, and terrible food!
I had always wanted to try Wild Goose. We arrived and it took over 20 minutes for a server to come to the table to give us a menu and ask for our drink choice. We ordered the steak dinner and the short ribs. The steak dinner was awful as it was chewy and had no flavor. I asked for A1 (they didn't have any) but they brought out their own homemade steak sauce/jam that was worse than the steak. After 5 bites, 2 of which went into my napkin, I gladly let the server take the roadkill away. My wife's short ribs and brussels sprouts were burnt. Even worse, the beer was lukewarm. We would have complained but the service was so bad that we simply wanted to leave. Thankfully, we never have to go back and we were able to get fast food on the way home.
