I had a $50 gift card for this place, and the food is really really good. However, I was unable to order the food that I wanted because they have a so-called limit on how much brisket you can buy at one time. I only wanted 3 pounds, and their limit is 2 pounds. I have to drive quite a way just to come here. I will be giving you the gift card away and will never return to this establishment. Waitress at the bar was also very rude.

I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for Wahoo Barbecue. Recently, my niece visited the restaurant and felt uncomfortable due to the way other customers were looking at her. Unfortunately, she was the only Black person in the restaurant at the time, and it was clear she was being treated differently. Her boyfriend spoke to the manager about the situation, and I’m truly grateful for how they handled it. The manager not only listened but also responded with genuine care and empathy. They assured them that they have a zero-tolerance policy for that type of behavior and that no one should feel out of place in their restaurant. To further show their commitment to a welcoming environment, they refunded her meal and even offered a dessert, but honestly, the gesture wasn’t what meant the most to us. The fact that they stood up for my niece, treated her with respect, and made sure she felt heard was what really mattered. In a time when standing up against discrimination can be difficult, I truly appreciate a business that prioritizes inclusivity and integrity. Wahoo Barbecue has earned my loyalty, and I’ll be sure to recommend it to anyone looking for great food in a positive, welcoming environment. Thank you for doing the right thing and supporting your customers. We’ll definitely be back.

If you're in fluvanna it's the best restaurant around the lake. The bar is pretty fun especially during bands, trivia, djs, etc. Really reasonably priced too.

The chopped brisket should be only on nachos or as a secondary ingredient.

whee doggie!!! best darn burgers (build your own) double patties 6 ounces 80/20 hands down!!! if ya'll are hankering for one, try it out. I can attest best this side of Texas and Argentina. We dont do bad here in Palmya, VA with beef cattle. I could not eat this burger all in one sitting. I had some for lunch the next day and great tasting left overs!! Wahoo owner, ya outdid yourself and I sure the other burgers available are delicious as well!! Great job!

Love the food here and I’ve never had a bad meal. However they do play favorites to their local crowd and I’ve witnessed tables sat well after me and my family get their food before our appetizers even arrived. When we have family from New York and Pennsylvania down there’s not many options locally so we always come here. Do I blame the waitresses for their frustration with some family members? No I do not — but it is embarrassing to sit through on both ends. We sincerely hope our next family outing to Wahoo doesn’t result in waiting over 45 minutes for our food from time of ordering and watching other tables get much better service because the waitresses know them by name.
Honest review, nothing major. Wahoo BBQ has a calm environment. I use to mostly sit in the bar side and I was told that they have the best bbq. That’s an understatement because their bbq has no taste, the only thing that has taste is the sauce. I’ve had their Texas Twinkie that has their brisket etc in it and the brisket has no flavor only the ranch sauce had flavor. The environment is cool and all but it gets boring fast. The servers are sweethearts but wahoo bbq has no soul in my opinion. I’ve had better bbq at cookouts. I’m not here to deteriorate anyone from going to wahoo to try them out but go on a soft note.

We had the chicken, brisket and pulled pork. They were all fresh and really nicely spiced. Whatever the Dry rub on the chicken was - it's yummy. It came with Island bbq sauce, but didn't need it. It was also pretty big portions - I took more than 1/2 home for lunch tomorrow. I think the only dish I didn't enjoy were the mac n cheese balls. The batter was odd, but the sauce was delicious and fixed everything.
