Shawn Shepherd, owner of Wahoo Seafood Grill, grew up helping his mom cook for his six siblings. His family moved from Ohio to Tennessee to Alabama and then to Mississippi, but no matter where they lived, you could always find Shepherd learning how to create a new dishes alongside family, friends, and neighbors... anyone who would let him in their kitchen. He especially loved visiting his grandfather, who owned a seafood restaurant in Pennsylvania.
When Shepherd joined the Navy, he wanted to be a cook, but the Navy wouldn't let him because his testing scores were too high. After nearly 7 years, he was honorably discharged and he worked as a cook by day and bartender by night. Eventually, he opened his first restaurant, Shepherd's, in 1999.
He went on to operate several successful restaurants after that, and in 2013, he partnered with Butch Monaghan. Together, they opened Wahoo Seafood Grill in Gainesville followed by the Tallahassee location in 2015.

Food tended to be too greasy. Hush puppies were unnecessarily sweet.

Need more wait staff. Kitchen was timely but not enough servers to keep up with food and drinks from the bar. It’s a shame because the food was tasty.

The food was very good, but the service was indifferent and VERY slow. The restaurant had numerous empty tables and no outdoor tables were occupied, so they were not overwhelmed with customers. The reservation process asked if our dinner was a special event, and we noted that it was our anniversary dinner. That was never noted, and we were never asked if we would like dessert, coffee, etc. There seemed to be little/no management or supervision, in contrast to the efficient operation we had seem in the past. Food was good, but that quality is available at other Gainesville restaurants with far better service and at comparable cost. It appeared Wahoo Grill management was "mailing it in", and closure would not be surprising.
