Came here with a large party for NYE for a late dinner. The interior is very misleading from the street, the interior is pretty big with a lot of tables and bar seating available. Not a lot of parking out front, but there is a rear entrance you can use that has a much bigger parking lot for your ease. Service was decent, we got forgotten about once right off the bat, but once we got things straightened out staff were helpful, kind, and attentive.
Starting off with drinks, I had tried their gingerbread old fashioned and their boozy coquito. The old fashioned was nothing special, but I did enjoy the little gingerbread man it came with. The coquito on the other hand was very tasty, albeit a little bit boozier than I expected, but I don’t often mind a heavy pour.
Next up for food, starting with apps, I tried the pretzel which comes with a cheese sauce and mustard on the side. Just as good as you’ll find it at any bar serving it up these days. For entrees, I had their signature burger and tried a bite of my girlfriend’s steak sandwich, and she definitely came out the winner. Burger was good, but nothing that made it standout much from other good smash burgers. The steak sandwich though was cooked well and didn’t all just pull out on the first bite, which to me is the key indicator of a good steak sandwich! Was overall a nice dinner and I’d certainly like to comeback and try more of the menu and I’ve often been tempted to stop by for their bingo nights, they always seem to have awesome prizes.

This dish is pure decadence.
The Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni is smothered in a rich, velvety Housemade Vodka Sauce. Generous chunks of melted Fresh Mozzarella and savory Grilled Chicken make it exceptionally hearty.
The mix of spinach, zucchini, and roasted tomatoes balances the richness. It is a stunning, elevated comfort food.
Verdict: Intensely flavorful and highly recommended.
PS: its family friendly.

The Wayward kitchen is a total winner, nailing appetizers, drinks, and entrees with creative flavors and perfect execution. The popevers with their are gigantic, airy, and tasty. The Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon Tips was an outstanding starter, however the Kung Pao Cauliflower was the most creative and tasty app I’ve enjoyed in a long time. My Sesame Crusted Salmon was amazing as well my family’s Short Rib Rigatoni, and salad with salmon. Excellent service from entering, bartender, and server.

We had my baby shower here last weekend and it was all around an amazing experience. Tara, who organized everything was wonderful from beginning to end. So accommodating with all the dietary restrictions we had. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful to my family day-of. Everyone was raving about the atmosphere and food. The pricing is extremely reasonable for what you get. The room is a great size, very spacious. I cannot say enough good things. They really are wonderful. 10/10

My first visit and all I could say is wow. The restaurant itself is large and sleek and had a solid crowd when we stopped in for an early lunch on a Friday.
Started with a blood orange Marg and a strong bourbon based drink. A thing of popcorn was given to us with the drinks while we looked at the menu. We started with some tuna tacos and “way way shrimp”. The tuna was fresh and paired great with the spicy mayo and Asian slaw in perfectly crispy Minton tacos. The shrimp were large and perfectly fried and served with a delicious pineapple salsa that provided a nice contrast to the heat from the Thai chili sauce.
They had French onion soup on special so that was a must order. Rich and loaded with onions this really hit the spot.
We then ordered a steak sandwich and a Cuban sandwich. Both were delicious but the steak sandwich was next level. Perfectly cooked ribeye with carmelized onions, Gruyère cheese with arugula and Dijon horseradish sauce on soft fresh bread.
I could not be more impressed with the restaurant or the food and to top it all off our server Jules was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable as we talked our way through the menu. Truly a great experience. Say like is lucky to have the Wayward!!!!

We held our son’s rehearsal dinner in the Wayward’s private party room. Afterwards we received many compliments on the food, the staff and how well it was organized. Since we were from out of town, we were nervous that making arrangements for the party would be difficult. Working with Tara, Wayward’s event coordinator, made all the planning easy! She was always available to answer our many questions, had many great ideas for our event and was an expert when it came to their buffet catering menu and helping us pull together our food choices. She also organized a great service staff for our event. The food was wonderful and served right on time. The service staff worked diligently during our entire event. I would highly recommend the Wayward Kitchen and Tara if you are planning a private party.

‘The Wayward’ takes mixology to the next level. The ‘Tally Me Banana Rum Punch’ and ‘The Wayward Watermelon Margarita’ were revelations – bursting with unique flavors that transported our taste buds to paradise. Kudos to the talented bartender who crafted these masterpieces.
For appetizers, we couldn’t get enough of the ‘Thai chili wings,’ which had just the right amount of heat to tingle our taste buds. The ‘BK Burrata’ was incredibly fresh and a definite 10/10 recommendation. And let’s not forget the ‘Mac and Cheese with truffle’ – it was a heavenly indulgence. These appetizers easily satisfy two people.
Moving on to the main course, we savored ‘The Bacon Wrapped Center Cut Filet’ and the ‘New York Strip.’ Both dishes were culinary triumphs, showcasing the restaurant’s dedication to impeccable flavor and quality.
Our dining experience was made even more exceptional by our server, Olivia, whose professionalism and attentiveness were truly commendable. She added a personal touch to our evening and made it unforgettable.
Don’t miss the opportunity to savor the innovative dishes and exquisite drinks that this restaurant has to offer.

Marcia was fantastic, food was 10/10 no notes. Got the Buffalo Chicken Dip for apps and the Braised Short Rib for entree. Their Chocolate Flourless cake is a dream. Highly recommend anyone try out this place. Gluten Free friendly as well!

So freakinggg AWESOME! I had such an amazing experience here! The staff was extremely polite, professional, & accommodating. The food was bomb, I got sticky ribs and a steak sandwhich which had arugula and I think Gruyère cheese which is one of my fave things to get eating out. Honestly I’m not a big french fry person but these fries were sick, they tasted super fresh and crispy like they made them from scratch, probably the best fries I’ve had. They killed it and the specialty cocktails were amazing as well. My waitress was an older women who was super attentive and so sweet, she called me hun & love, & just had an overall nice/positive presence to her. I loved the atmosphere and color scheme of the place and how they incorporated some old stuff from crickets.
Will deff be making this one of my regular go to spots! More than 5 stars for sure!

The best gnocchi I have ever had. I added chicken cutlet to it. I will 100% come back just for this. The server was a really sweet older lady. Super friendly staff.
