    Wow! What a wonderful place. My husband took me out for a special night. Our server Stephanie was phenomenal. We explained our bad experience prior that evening at Red Lobster. She took good care of us. The steak and lobster were perfect. Thank you all.

    The staff (Tia) was just as awesome as the food. The service provided, the lighting in the establishment, and the professionalism of the staff added to the overall great experience. We will be back very soon! Thank you all!

    Arrived around 7PM so we waited. Hostess gave us a skinny tight booth as I stand 6 feet and 3 inches tall, plus 300 pounds. Ask her if she noticed. Waited more for a table. Sat and waited 20 minutes to get a waitress for water. Asked no onions on my food. Guess what? Lol I was served onions on my food and one fish less from what I asked for. Second catfish was 8 dollars. Waitress said she will like a 30% tip lol.

    This place is kind of a tradition for my girlfriend and I. A few months ago, we decided to try it out, checked online, and it said they were open. We got there and found out they were actually closed because the owners shut down for a week to go on vacation or something. 2 weeks later, we decided to try again. There was a bad storm raging. We got there, and the power was out, so they closed up. A few weeks later, we decided to try a third time. When we walked inside, we were told the sewer was backing up into the kitchen, and they were asking people to leave for sanitary reasons. The tradition is, we go to the Wharf, sit in the parking lot, and decide where we are going to eat dinner. Tonight, we decided to try again and, most likely, sit in the parking lot to decide what we were going to have for dinner. However, we had to break our tradition because they were actually open and serving food! I have to preface this by saying, prior to living back in Texas again, I spent 14 years living in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am very familiar with high-end dining experiences. I have eaten at so many high-end restaurants in Vegas I can't even name them all. Beyond just that, my wife has a culinary arts degree and prides herself on being a fabulous cook. I know what good food is. I will tell you this: The Wharf is not Gorden Ramsey Steak. In the Paris in Las Vegas. But it IS very good. I had the Steak and Lobster. The steak was a perfect medium rare, and the seasoning was exactly right. It was easily the best steak I have eaten since leaving Las Vegas a year ago that I did not cook myself. Lobster turns rubbery if it's over cooked by even just a few seconds. It is very easy to overcook a lobster tail. The one I ate tonight was perfect. Quite possibly one of the best lobster tails I have ever eaten. After all the hassle actually getting to eat there, all I can really say is that it was worth the wait. I will definitely be back. My only complaint is that I was led to believe the Wharf was a seafood restaurant but there were more steaks on the menu than fish. The seafood section of the menu was lobster, crab, oysters, shrimp, a fried calamari appetizer and catfish. The rest of the menu was all steaks and one Hawaiian chicken dish. I would have liked to have seen some other fish options.

    Best Calamari I've ever tasted, bar none! In fact I didn't know calamari COULD taste that good. Great service, warm cozy atmosphere, perfectly cooked steak.

  • 5/5 Lynn V. 10 months ago on Google
    Great service...super excellent food!! Just a bit warm in there tonight and the chairs that are at the tables are just awfully hard and uncomfortable. But five stars to you for sure. Thank you💕

    It took an hour for them to give us our food. We ordered a Shrimp appetizer which came out tough and stuck to the plate. We also ordered the steak and crab entre with French fries (for our toddler) and the Cream of Jalapeño soup (which was unique). The steak was cooked properly but had very little flavor. The crab however was way over cooked! …to the point of the edges of the meat were brown and it was very dry. I love seafood and will eat most anything without complaint. I will say we chose not to say anything in person as we needed to cool down to make sure we weren’t rude. There were no prices on the menu as it is listed for market value. However, for $82 (after military discount and before the tip) we could have had a seafood feast at home for our family of 6.

    Probably one of the only REAL seafood restaurants in town. Great and FRESH seafood options vary widely from day to day so make sure to call before you go if you have something specific in mind. Only downside is there is always a rush around suppertime so expect a short wait because everyone wants to come eat here!!

  • 5/5 Philip T. 4 years ago on Google
    Best seafood in San Angelo. Tried an assortment of drinks, appetizers and entrees! Had no complaints whatsoever. Even the service was great, thank you Nickie. I recommend fried mushrooms or the calamari to start. Their cocktails are excellent as well, coconut mango tango for the win on that one. The steak and shrimp was a great proportion considering how much we ate that night. I absolutely loved the coconut shrimp with the cocktail sauce.

    Amazing seafood and the best I had in San Angelo so far. I had grilled mahi-mahi and really loved it. My side salad and baked potato were also top notch. My waiter was kind and quick to stay on top of things. The overall feel of the place was also nice. Only complaints I have is that the portion felt a little small for the price (I paid $30) and the wait time was decently long.

  • 5/5 Farukh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff from hostess to bar and restaurant employees are all friendly. It's my home at least once a week! The cuisine is wonderful. The fried oysters are the best in town.Jason makes the best martinis! The only place to get great seafood and prime rib. Can't be beat!

    They could use a remodel on the place. If your tall you have to sit on really small chairs. Food is good. Need to update the Hawaiian Chicken plate. Waiter was awesome.

  • 3/5 Leslie W. 1 year ago on Google
    this was our first time and I really don’t want to sound ignorant most of the food was great service was wonderful but I ordered lobster and well it wasn’t sweet I was so disappointed is this normal in Texas Up north the lobster is so nice and sweet I just didn’t ask because I felt maybe this is normal here? I know I should have, but didn’t want to look stupid

    I live in Louisiana where the best seafood in the country is available. The Wharf is as good or better than most places in Louisiana. Most restaurants these days use pre battered shrimp. The Wharf batters the shrimp and fried okra. They also make their own cocktail sauce, and I believe their own tartar sauce. Fried fish was also excellent. To top it off the service was excellent!

  • 4/5 Autumn C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place had a wonderful vibe. Great service friendly atmosphere. Lighting is a little dim. Overall wait was not long at all. The lobster was huge compared to most seafood places. The Wharf burger is most definitely my favorite!! Will be back.

    I had crawfish etouffee, and a hurricane. The rice in the etouffee wasn't good, and it had a strange flavor. The hurricane had a lot of alcohol, but it was good. I was sad because I thought I had found a good place for cajun, but maybe the seafood is better.
