    Don't waste your time going here. It doesn't say must be member on Google. Bit when you arrive they turn you away if you are not a member. Pretty bad they don't indicate that, you find out when you arrive.

    They should update their website to state that it's a private club if that's what it is. I've never been able to get through by phone or have had my email replied to, so we just went there for lunch. The first thing we heard was "Are you members? This is a private club." I said that the website says we can come for lunch. She said "No, and if you look at the fine print, it says we are private." The website clearly states in the "about" section: "Not a member? Dine at Wahoo's River Bar & Grill and receive a complimentary one day social membership." The waitress loosened up and was nice to us. The food was great. We'd like to go back but I don't want that hassle and there is no information about social memberships on line. We keep our boat on our property so we don't need storage.

    I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant several years ago when I began long walks on Naples Greenway trail. Imagine my relief 2 miles into my walk to find a most fabulous river front restaurant along the way. The food is incredibly wonderful, with a variety of new daily specials introduced each week. The service is exceptional, with the most wonderful attentive servers along with a hands on manager and amazing chefs. These wonderful people go out of your way to make you feel special and welcome, always making sure that you are enjoying great food and service. I enjoy this place so much that I frequent the restaurant for lunch or special music related events several times a week. I brought one friend to lunch on a walk and she ended up booking and enjoying her own wedding of nearly 100 people at this fine venue. Thank you Wahoo's for being a most wonderful part of my life!

    Friendly folks in a unique setting. Food was good. Service was good. Basically a component of a private marina that is open to the public.

    I've always hated it when someone says "it's the best kept secret" but if there is a place in Naples like that this may well be it. I've been going there for quite a long time and whenever I'm in a conversation with someone they've never heard of it. It's got a couple bars, restaurant, great food, poolside bar, hot tub, great shower rooms in the men's and women's bathroom. Everything about the place is very comfortable. It's behind the Naples airport and it's not very busy. They do a great job with food, service, atmosphere, music, you name it.

    We went to Wahoo’s for lunch today. The restaurant is nestled in an interesting location behind the airport, so thought that it could be a “hidden gem” type of place. On Sunday it turns into a Buffalo Bills bar, so be prepared for a sports bar atmosphere during the game; although we did not know this beforehand, we had no problem enjoying the lively room. When it came time to order, it was an easy decision for me: grouper BLT. As a restaurant named after a fish, located on a waterway on the gulf of Mexico, I assumed the grouper would be a delicious sure bet. BIG MISTAKE. At first bite, it was clear than my grouper BLT was in fact a frozen Mahi BLT. As someone who has lived off the gulf for several years, the taste of fresh grouper is as unmistakable as the taste of fishy defrosted Mahi. The sandwich was edible, as were my friends meals, but what put us over the top was the response I got from the waitress when I brought up the issue. “Well, it looks like you really enjoyed it” she stated as I told her about the mislabeled menu item. Make no mistake, I would never ask for a refund on an item that I ate, I was simply letting them know our disappointment in the mislabeled dish, but the waitress pushed back, telling me that “our chef usually uses grouper”…. All in all the food was not terrible, nor was it memorable, but if you’re going to list a “Grouper BLT” on your menu for $19, and then serve frozen Mahi, don’t be surprised that any average gulf coast Floridian with half a palate will sniff the money grab out faster than you can say “Wahoo”.

    The food was served hot, as it should be. The teriyaki wings were delicious as were the fried picked spears. The problem was that I was sitting at my table, there are no more than 10, for at least 15-20 minutes before I was even acknowledged. There was a bartender who also was doing the job of a 2nd server in addition to a separate server. I can understand if they were busy, the bar was somewhat full but other tables were being attended to. I must have had a do not disturb sign that was not visible to me? There were only 2 at my table. A great ambiance nonetheless. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon with live music, which is always a nice touch.

    Wow- what a fun night! The staff was incredible. Our server, Christy, treated us like family and we had a lot of fun together. The food was simply amazing! The atmosphere was super fun. Eating outside by the pool... and the band, Suntan Revelry, made the night! Everyone was dancing, singing and laughing together. We'll definitely be back. 🌟

    Food was good. Table was not level and drinks kept falling over. Other than that the service was great.

    We have been seasonal members for years. Although not here full time , we find that the membership fee is well worth it as the food (all of their fish is amazing!) & service is amazing. It's also a refuge for us 'in season ' when so many restaurants are crowded in town.

    Mahi tacos were Amazing and amazing staff Jeanna and Sandy were very attentive at the outside bar and very helpful. Definitely would recommend this place. We’ve been member for seven years and have never had a bad experience.. love it

    Had lunch at the outside poolside bar, nice spot. Sandy the bartender took great care of me. Ordered a burger medium rare came out large and meaty, perfect with a choice of sides. Black and Tan onions rings a must try, excellent. This spot is a hidden away behind the Naples airport in a marina. Kids and dog friendly environment. I'm going back!!! 👀👍😎🌴🐾🐾

    Wahoo's recently hosted an event I attended.. It's set back on a beautiful property by the Gordon River. The staff was awesome, providing fast and friendly service. The swimming pool and patio is very spacious. Inside, the bar and restrooms were super clean. Great place to host an event or have membership to.

  • 5/5 Lauraine D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great private event. I now want to become a member!!

  • 1/5 Mario P. 2 years ago on Google
    Not open to the public. Wish they would specify "members only" before driving all the way here for lunch.
