Welcome to Wahoo Seafood Grill - Where Flavor Meets Tradition
Wahoo Seafood Grill was founded in 2015 by Shawn Shepherd, a passionate chef with decades of culinary experience rooted in Southern traditions. Growing up in a family that valued home-cooked meals, Shepherd developed a deep appreciation for fresh ingredients and regional flavors while working alongside family members and neighbors. After serving in the Navy and honing his skills in the restaurant industry, he partnered with Butch Monaghan to bring coastal-inspired seafood dishes to inland Florida. Our Tallahassee location offers daily fresh fish butchering, Southern and Cajun-inspired cuisine, and a vibrant atmosphere featuring live music and weekend brunch.We prioritize quality ingredients, attentive service, and creating memorable dining experiences that bring people together. Our team takes pride in crafting dishes that reflect Shepherd's upbringing while maintaining modern culinary standards. The eclectic decor, curated by Shepherd himself, adds to the energetic ambiance that defines our restaurant. We also provide catering services and a private banquet hall for events, ensuring flexibility for our community's needs. With happy hour available all day every day, we aim to make exceptional seafood accessible to all patrons.
