Its great to have a casual place to go dine on the water. The Thursday Shrimp special is a steal! And the shrimp, potatoes, and corn are so flavorful! We enjoyed our meals and look forward to returning.

My friends held a birthday party for me at The Wakehouse in Maria Del Ray. Such an awesome place right on the Tchefuncte River in Madisonville. Great food and great people. We had a blast! Mindy, the owner, took great care of us and Natasha, our server, was wonderful.

We loved it. It totally has beach bar vibes. We ate in the back deck overlooking the water. Food was great too. A little on the pricier side , but that comes with the ambience and view. Very chill spot to stop in by boat fill up the boat and your crew.

My review is based solely on an experience I had with the very cool people who work and manage The Wakehouse. Friends of my held their wedding across the river from The Wakehouse. Prior to the wedding I stopped by The Wakehouse to ask if they would lower the music during the ceremony. The very nice and understanding bartenders said there was a band scheduled, but they would give my message to the manager. Sonny (I believe that was his name) called me later to say they would do their best. He was very nice and understanding. The band was fabulous, as we heard it from the venue prior to the wedding. However, at precisely the exact time I asked them to lower their music, they stopped playing completely! SO FABULOUS! I was sure to tell everyone attending the wedding about their kindness. I will absolutely go to The Wakehouse and quite certain love their food. It has a great atmosphere.

The Wakehouse is an absolute gem on the river—beautiful views, phenomenal food, and top-notch service. From the moment we arrived, the waterfront setting created the perfect atmosphere, and every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. Not to mention delicious drinks! What truly made the experience stand out, though, was our server, Kaitlyn, she was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations that made the visit even better. She was full of energy and had the best attitude and personality. I would return purely for Kaitlyn’s hospitality! Between the stunning location, delicious food, and outstanding service, The Wakehouse is a must-visit!

One waitress serving 7-10 tables. Took 30 plus minutes to get our food. Any time we needed a refill we had to get up and walk to the bar area due to the waitress not being able to check on us. Waitress was nice and apologized. She needs more help. I believe managers or owners were there and instead of helping her during an obvious rush of customers, they just sat a watched. Unacceptable.
