This was our fourth or fifth time dining at Wayward's. I usually order the Smashburger and this time it was more of a double burger than a smash burger. The pattys weren't smashed thin and the burgers and sweet potato fries were very saltly. Disappointed

It's a beautiful restaurant, but I'm a psycho and notice everything that kind of annoys me. I don't like being told to sit anywhere [makes me feel like you don't care enough to walk over and greet us]. My lunch was really good, but the "cauliflower steak" needed to be cooked just a tad longer bc it was a little raw veg tasting. Other than that it was good.

Food was absolutely delicious. Wanted to try so many appetizers but we stopped at 3, and split 1 entree. Service was quick and polite even though it was packed. Restaurant and bathroom were clean and decorated for the holidays. A bit loud but that’s expected for NYE night. Will definitely be coming back!
