    This is the first time we have been to the wayward kitchen. We brought our family of eight people. We will return.

    First time at Waywood and we absolutely loved it. Enjoyed a delicious lunch and our waiter was super nice. The older gentlemen was a delight and you could tell he really enjoyed seeing his customers enjoy their afternoon at Waywood. I was visiting from out of state but when I return for another visit in the future I will most definitely be dining there again.

    Booked a reservation here to take out my wife and kids for Mother’s Day. The restaurant was big and comfortable (although a little bit in the loud side). The menu had tons of options. The waitress was extremely friendly and was on top of refills. The food was delicious. My wife had the lobster roll and I was surprised at how large the pieces of lobster were. This was my first time going there, but won’t be my last time.

    The drinks and food were equally delicious. The service was on point. We were a party of five and loved every minute of our time there. The Wayward never disappoints.
