Best WLM Reviews

First time visiting this restaurant and had a pleasant experience. The restaurant is quaint and cozy, loved the decorations they have hanging around. Unfortunately for us, they were out of blues but not a problem as it’s November. Instead I ordered the stuffed lobster with the crab cake, green beans and a twice baked potato and it was great (crab cake could’ve been a little more seasoned but still great). Also had the bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp, blackened and it was phenomenal. Also had some of my friends fried calamari, which I’ve never had before but enjoyed them as well. The best part of the visit was our server Ruby. She is a gem!! Her bubbly personality and professionalism was excellent and her energy was through the roof!! I can’t give her enough credit! She made our visit so much better…thank you so much Ruby!! I will definitely be returning!!
Went here for a quick weekday dinner and it was great. We had our 3 year old with us and our waitress Stephanie was wonderful. She was super sweet to our boy and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was very good and came out really fast. Had the shrimp scampi, 2 lbs of steamed shrimp, crab spinach artichoke dip and a grilled cheese kids meal. The kids meal was only $7.50 and came with fries, apple sauce a drink and ice cream. I think that's a great deal! The rest of the food was a little expensive but not outrageous
A group of us came here for a birthday dinner, and while I had high hopes, I left feeling a bit disappointed.
Overall Ratings:
Restaurant: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Food: 3/5
Parking: Street Parking
Restaurant:
The restaurant is fairly spacious, offering bar seating, indoor and outdoor options. The décor is well-done, creating a pleasant atmosphere, and overall, the place seemed clean and well-maintained.
Service:
Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. She answered all of our questions and made sure our requests were met.
Food:
We sampled a few different dishes:
-Hush Puppies: Very good! Easily some of the best I’ve had.
-Char-Grilled Oysters: Unfortunately, these were dry and lacked flavor.
-Crab Imperial: It was decent but nothing memorable.
-Jumbo Sea Scallops: These were quite good.
-Deluxe Fried Sampler Platter: This was hit or miss. The fried oysters, in particular, were disappointing—bitter, with a thick batter and soggy texture. Other items were just okay.
-The Net Buster: This dish was very good.
-Blue Crabs: These were just okay. Some of the crab meat was dry, though the flavor was decent.
Conclusion:
For the price, I expected better quality food. Some dishes were quite good, but others fell short. I'd be open to coming back to try more menu items, but my overall experience didn’t quite meet my initial expectations.
Checked Woody’s out on google.
And their rating.
And decided to give them a try for our 34th wedding anniversary.
Definitely was worth the 1 hour and 10 minute drive.
Plus the 50 minute wait time.
Food was fantastic and delicious.
Served hot.
Pleasant staff and atmosphere.
Highly recommend this restaurant.
If I could give them a 10 star review I would.
I definitely will be going back in the near future.
Very popular local restaurant, environment was excellent. Low lights and great service! Was seated in 20mins on a Saturday night.
Half/half bisque/Maryland crab soup - bisque was good but Maryland crab soup was too salty.
Shrimp scampi - no other flavor came through other than a bowl of butter. Shrimp was good and plenty!
Broiled crab cake and lobster tail - crab cake was average. Lobster tail was salty and over cooked and dry.
Shrimp and lobster flatbread - total of 5 shrimp and 3 pieces of lobster meat on thick soft bread. Bread was cut into 6 pieces, only 2 out of 6 pieces had topping on there. The 4 pieces on the edge had either 1 shrimp or nothing but cheese.
$120 dinner was well below average expectations of seafood restaurant.
Went here for lunch. The crab cakes were phenomenal. The oysters were sweet and tender, calamari was easy to eat not even rubbery.
Saw the billboard on highway and decided to stop by! Really loved the food here, crab cakes are delicious, wings are top notch, my gf says it’s the best buffalo sauce ever. Soups are so good too! Shoutout to our waiter Nick who made the whole experience wholesome. Would come back again if visiting.
The seafood was all very fresh. I had the lobster combo, the crab cake was excellent and delicious. The steam crabs were males only, large and meaty. The crab soup was tasty but the portion is small for the price. I would not recommend the deserts, the strawberry shortcake cake was too sweet and a bit too dry.
For the seafood, I would definitely come back again.
