We go often and always have a great experiencePosted on NL PilchardNovember 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Enjoyed the "history lesson" brunch with the owner as guest speaker. The food is very good and we'll return for lunch or dinner sometime soon. Worth the trip!Posted on T TranNovember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time customer at The Wellwood Restaurant. The food was excellent and the staff was nothing short of warm, welcoming and professional. A very quaint and beautifully decorated historical gem. I would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again.Posted on Jimmagee58@gmail.com Thanks for sharingNovember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly place and peoplePosted on YvonneNovember 8, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Typically go here in the summer to enjoy all you can eat crabs. We wanted to celebrate my fiance's birthday with a delicious dinner (we could enjoy and not have to prepare) and with all the restaurants having to close their dining areas, we wanted to support local businesses and ordered from the Wellwoods take out family dinner meals. Braised beef brisket, garden salad with vegetable medley. Such a pleasant experience from ordering, to picking up our meal. The staff members were super friendly. Our food was hot and we were blown away with the quantity of food as well as quality for the price. You really can't beat it, we said we would be talking about that meal for a while, and that's definitely going to hold true. We are looking forward to ordering it again. Our daughter kept saying how tasty it was. The beef was so tender, and was flavorful. The vegetable medley was a mixture of everything from bell pepper to brussel sprouts. I wish I had better words to describe how satisfying this meal was. It brought a feeling of "normalcy" in these not so "normal" times. I highly recommend supporting this local restaurant. We stopped in for lunch and our daughter ordered the kids shrimp meal, best ever! Came in a cute crock with the shrimp steamed and peeled, she truly loved it and was gobbling it up, the apple sauce she kept commenting how she loved the apple chunks in it. As usual, the prime rib was delish and both were cooked perfectly. The waiters, not just our, but all on staff that afternoon were friendly and attentive. Scallops, crabcakes, oysters on the half shell, and the Smith Islands dessert cake are a must!Posted on Maria ChkeriNovember 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful and cozy restaurant with option to sit in a formal dining area or a sports bar type area. The food was really good. The salmon was fresh and the crab dip so very creamy. Everything was great.
