Wadford's Rooftop Grille

Oh my goodness! Where do I start? Joey was our server and was great! The food was amazing! I can't wait to go back to visit. If you haven't been to Wadford's, you need to go! The atmosphere was great. Donna also checked on us throughout the meal as well and made sure we had all we needed.

I've been anxious to try the new place that took this rooftop space vacated by another restaurant. The views and ambience do not disappoint. And, a friend has joined the staff so we were looking forward to seeing her too, but she was out sick the night we visited. We will come back another time.I really, really wanted to love this place. The pictures I've been seeing are wonderful. I wasn't greatly impressed though. The food was OK, the service was OK, nothing really bad about the experience at all. It just did not stand out as anything special.We had water, shared an appetizer, my husband had a steak and I had the fried shrimp. The Baja Corn, Crawfish and Shrimp dip had really good flavor, but there was very little crawfish and if there were shrimp I could not tell at all. Mostly corn in a slightly spicy/creamy sauce. It tasted fine, I would have just preferred a little more of the crawfish and some shrimp. I won't order it again, but that's just me.The steak was great. It was prepared medium rare exactly as ordered. The seasonal vegetables served with it seemed like straight out of a frozen microwave in the bag kinda steamable veggie mix. The squash was tough, and I would bet my third child that it had been frozen. The carrots were also almost certainly from frozen. If these veggies were not from a frozen bag, then someone needs to learn how to cook fresh veggies.The fried shrimp were absolutely perfect. Large and plump with just enough batter to give them a good crunch. I got the scalloped potatoes and onion rings as sides. The onion rings were nothing special, and probably not made in house but purchased frozen. They were nicely fried, not greasy at all. The scalloped potatoes I wanted to love, but they were not very warm.The owner came around often and checked on the customers, which is very nice. She brought us a few extra chips when she noticed we ran out of chips before we ran out of corn dip. If I could give 3.5 stars I would because our meal was over $80, $100 with tax/tip, and without even having a glass of wine or a cocktail. The cocktails did look lovely, but for an average meal, this is too much money. I will be back, but likely for cocktails and snacks instead of a full meal.

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It is on the roof of a building with a cigar shop and has a nice view (doesn't even feel like you're in Southaven). They will take reservations if you put down a deposit, which we did, and our table was ready on time.The staff was very nice and attentive. The menu isn't exactly expansive but the food was good and the drinks were tasty.

My wife and I were anxious to try the new Wadford's roof top Grille in Southaven MS since hearing it was opening. Donna Wadford is a very well established Entrepeneur that has created several successful business ventures over the years that have been very big hits, she knows what she is doing !. Today My wife and I decided to try the new restaurant venture of Donna Wadford and were extremely happy, first off we met Donna as we entered the building which was a plus, when we arrived at the restaurant upstairs, we shared our past experiences with her and our fond memories of those establishments that she ran. The bar tender Joey couldn't have been better, great conversationalist as well as Bourbon aficionado. We ordered the BBQ Shrimp, which was beyond amazing, Donna brought out a sample of the lobster deviled eggs and all I can say is WOW, we are from New England and very particular about our lobster, and these were A1. I then ordered the chicken tenders, and My wife ordered the steak and shrimp all was amazing. Also the bourbon selection they had EH Taylor, Blantons, Weller as well as many others, the scenery and view is amazing, we will be back many times, go and give it a try you will not be disappointed.

The best service in 100 mile radius. Food excellent and very well priced! I suggest try the JM chicken strip sandwich! The best ask your server
