Happy 2026. We usually get take-out from The Wave every week AND also dine-in every week. Everything from Pizza to Fish & Chips to Clam Chowder, Clam Cakes, Chili, Garlic Bread. All of the food here is consistently delicious. Lots of televisions and very clean restaurant. The staff and the cooks are always really nice! Thank you.

Have been going to this place for years. Recently went and ordered a Reuben. The SMALLEST reuben I have ever seen! So disappointed when it arrived. Went to counter to talk to owner. Not there. Asked to speak to a manager. Not there. Nobody I could talk to to voice my concern. Not sure if I will go back. Left my number in comment box for a call back.

We got the meat lovers pizza. Absolutely amazing!!! I am very picky about pizza I have a bad stomach and I asked for light sauce . Most places still put too much. This place actually did it. Maria was out waitress very friendly and attentive. I recommend this place hands down
