About The Wellwood Restaurant

The Wellwood Restaurant offers delicious food and spectacular service. The professional staff, like Missy and Melissa, make special occasions memorable with their excellent service. The cheese bites are a recommended dish to try. The salmon special over crab risotto was the best meal ever had, perfect for birthdays. The restaurant is kid-friendly with food that children would enjoy. The formal dining room is beautifully done, and the long-standing reputation of the restaurant holds true with excellent service and even better food. Recent guests praised the fried green tomatoes, which were fantastic, and mentioned that both entrees were cooked to perfection. The food is described as delectable, with hot, spiced crabs and superb drinks. The staff, including Todd and Kelly, are attentive and friendly, making every visit a great experience. The restaurant has hosted large group dinners where the food, taste, presentation, and price were consistently on point. Visitors also appreciated the large portions of the fried green tomatoes, Salmon BLT, and Shrimp Salad, with crispy fries and extra fried potato wedges that are super crispy on the outside and soft inside. The recent change in crab pricing was a hit, offering more crabs for less money, and the corn and hush puppies were praised as awesome. The fried chicken dish is notably delicious, with perfect fries and cornbread, and the oysters Rockefeller were highly rated. Many guests felt the food tasted homemade or very local, making each visit enjoyable. While the back of house had everything running smoothly, some guests noted that the front of house could improve, especially during busy times, as they experienced a wait despite open tables. Overall, The Wellwood Restaurant continues to be a popular spot worth the drive for a memorable dining experience.
