The great customer service and delicious food make The Wellwood a restaurant we very much enjoy.Posted on Thomas RothJanuary 15, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chicken parmigiana was by far the best out of the previous 3 places that I have eaten. I am a sucker for parm, always searching for place that makes me want to go back again.Posted on Kristen LibertyJanuary 12, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went here to celebrate my birthday, as well as my son and daughter's birthdays. The staff was so great and made our experience feel extra special. The French onion soup was amazing! We had the prime rib and the broiled seafood platter. Would definitely go back during our next visit !Posted on Jon ByrdJanuary 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had dinner in the president room with our server John. He was fantastic, good was good. He was good with my son as well. Will be coming back!Posted on primoDecember 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming in the staff were friendly. Food came out quick and the quality was superb. The cooks definitely pay close attention to detail as the presentation was very appealing. Windows also offer a nice view. Saw a sign saying “best crab cakes” and lives up to its’ name! Other places fill their crab cakes with flour and theirs is straight up crab. Great experience over all!Posted on TwinstreamfarmDecember 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience is top notch. Food is fantastic and the staff is great. So accommodating to make sure you have a fantastic dinner. Bruce is one of the best chefs around. Thank you Larry for a top notch operation here.Posted on Riki IsabegovicDecember 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a holiday dinner with 12 guests at this restaurant.The food was very good and the portions were pretty good size. Oyster stew, beef wellington, scallops were some of the favorite dishes. Fried chicken was the best fried chicken I have tasted in Maryland. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Caitlin our server was awesome.
