ATLANTA - Decatur’s Wahoo! Grill hosts 20th anniversary celebration:  

When Pam Ledbetter opened Decatur’s Wahoo! Grill back in 2004, she had two words in mind: "neighborhood bistro." And two decades later, it’s safe to say the restaurateur’s vision has become a delicious reality.

This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we helped Pam Ledbetter and her team mark the 20th anniversary of Wahoo! Grill, which remains a popular option for discerning diners in Decatur. Ledbetter describes the restaurant’s cuisine as fish-forward and farm-to-table, which means sourcing local ingredients whenever possible. As for that "neighborhood bistro" vibe, Wahoo! Grill features both intimate indoor seating and specious outdoor options, including a lush garden.

"I wanted to create a place where people felt comfortable, but also was luxurious," Ledbetter says.

The restaurant will host a 20th anniversary celebration on Sunday, Sept. 22 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., welcoming guests with a low country boil buffet and live music. Tickets are $49.99 for adults and $19.99 for children ages 4 to 12, and the buffet is set to include fresh shrimp, crawfish, smoked sausage, new potatoes, corn, and cheddar-jalapeño cornbread with thyme-sorghum butter. Admission also includes two drink tickets and a dessert.

Wahoo! Grill is located at 1042 West College Avenue in Decatur — for more information on the upcoming 20th anniversary celebration and to purchase tickets, click here.
