Wildwood Pub & Grill has a reputation
beyond good food, cold drinks and golf.
Its reputation is built on offering the unexpected.
That’s something Mandy Williams,
Wildwood Pub & Grill’s general manager,
and her staff take pride in.
“We do things differently. Always have,
and that begins with the menu. Starting
with our bread. It’s delivered fresh every
day, which isn’t typical. We also don’t like
using the same Kaiser roll on everything.
We have bread options like pretzel buns
and sourdough,” Williams said.
Garlic parmesan encrusted sourdough is
featured in the Adult Grilled Cheese.
“Who wants a boring bread and cheese
sandwich?: Williams asked. The Adult
Grilled Cheese, she said, is far from typical.
“That’s the reason it’s a favorite and
why it’s on our new fall menu, which
launched in September.”
Wildwood Pub & Grill’s new menu is a
multi-page litany of culinary offerings that

range from appetizers to decadent desserts,
including the sinfully rich Caramel and
Chocolate Sauced Brownie Bite Sundae.
Many guests still go straight to the pub
grub classic – a hand-crafted, half-pound
burger made with Creekstone Farms Black
Angus premium beef. The best-seller is the
charbroiled Wildwood Burger, which is
dressed to order. All of the pub’s burgers
are smashed on a flat-top grill as the new
Frisco Smash makes clear. Topped with
American and Swiss Cheese on buttery
toasted sourdough and sauced with housemade
1000 Island, it’s a burger that delivers
a true San Franciso treat.
Another handheld wonder making its
debut on the sandwich roster is the Blackened
Chicken Philly Cheesesteak.
“We always had a Philly Cheesesteak but
not a Blackened Chicken Philly Cheesesteak
until our customers requested it. We
listened and we made it happen. It’s been a
winner,” Williams said.
Representing the deep south is the
Shrimp Po’Boy, which originally rolled

out as a Lenten special but made a big
splash. Crispy battered shrimp are stacked
on a toasted hoagie roll that is fitted with a
leaf lettuce blanket, red onion, diced tomatoes,
pickle, and homemade kayo sauce. A
signature Wildwood Pub sauce, kayo is
similar to a Louisiana Creole remoulade
and makes this po-boy oh-so rich.
Williams admitted that there’s a lot to
choose from on the pub’s new menu.
“But I would have to pick our new Pub
Favorites section, which has something for
almost anyone, from steak, seafood and
pasta,” she said.
The Chimichurri Steak features chargrilled
sirloin that is topped with the trending
Argentinian sauce made with parsley,
garlic olive oil lemon juice and spices.
It’s accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes
and flash-fried spinach. The Fish and
Chips, a pub staple, is hand-breaded and
cooked fresh when ordered. Those who
crave slow-smoked meats will find brisket,
chicken and pork in abundance from sandwiches
to tacos to pasta and pizza.
“We smoke all our own meats
daily. Drive by any day and you’ll
probably smell the smoke. If you

smell the smoke you’ll smell the
flavor,” Williams said.
All the smoked items are seasoned
or rubbed with Wildwood’s own
spice blends – and the made-from-scratch.
barbecue sauces perfectly compliment the
restaurant’s smoked wings. But purists can
still order wings fried and/or trashed.
Wings are always a top pick for those
who gather to party and play golf in one
of six golf simulators. To reserve simulator
space, book your tee time online. You’ll
discover Wildwood Pub has the best rates
in town. Book a single simulator or consider
booking the golf suite that holds up to
75 and includes the use of all six simulators.
The not-so-typical happy hour is from
3-7 p.m., Monday through Friday and runs
throughout the entire restaurant and patio
– not just the bar area. Now, that’s great service,
which is typical.
As Williams said, “We’re all about customer
service here and making people
happy.”
