The food and service were excellent. I had grilled shrimp and the rest of our party had fried oysters. ur service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. Good job, Wentzell's! We will definitely be back! More

I gather this is a family restaurant turned into a franchise. The food was pretty good, the atmosphere a little hokey. I'd go back. More

Very fresh seafood. Love the blackened grouper and the fried oysters. It's my favorite seafood restaurant in Huntsville. More

Gumbo's not bad, seafood is always good but they really missed the boat on their bread pudding - steer clear if you don't want to be disappointed. More

I recently ate a late lunch here. The service was good. I did have a problem with a member of the staff sweeping close to where I was eating, sweeping allows particles to get into the air and it really takes away from the dining experience. The food was good but not outstanding. I had eaten there once before and... More

I’ve eaten at a couple of their Gulf Coast locations. We went for lunch last month. The service here was rather slow. We were not given seating with a view even though it was available. All the food was fair at best. It’s understandable that raw oysters will taste fresher closer to the source, but these disappointed. Although horseradish was... More

My friend, who was acting as host was very disappointed with the initial delay after being seated. It did not improve through out our dinner. He wanted to order another beer but our waitress was too busy and then brought... More

We ordered a seafood platter and "catch of the day" Po Boy. The latter was advertised on the menu at $8.99. We were then advised that this was a lunch item (not declared on the menu at all) and if we wanted it the price would be $21.99. We cancelled the order, finished our drinks and left. Surely there is... More

We have a Wintzell's in our hometown Tuscaloosa so we knew it was good! The location is great, right on the lake. We also walked to it from our hotel The Hampton Inn. Our waitress was very friendly and the food was great! More
