The strangest restaurant I have ever been to. If you go I am warning you-- never order the lemon chicken soup. Hands down the worst tasting soup I've ever ordered. You'll be wasting your money if you disregard my advice. Â I did not find it attractive or satisfying. I would only go back if there was a problem with my car nearby and it was the only place around open for food.
Review Source:Had dinner there on 7-9-12 for a late dinner 10pm. Ordered the Broiled Lake Perch...when they brought it to the table I could already see they over cook the S&*t out of it. I took a bite to give it a chance, not only was it over cooked you could taste the fish was bad. I told the waitress, she said she could do "Nothing" it was the managers call. When asked if I wanted anything else I decided the salad& soup was fine...The bill came and the manager brook everything down I ate individually and it added up to more the the ORIGINAL MEAL! Really...I asked the waitress to see the menu, to see what soup & salad cost, with a side...3 bucks cheaper. The guy running this place, tall curly hair, glasses, was a real piece of work. The poor waitress who did a great job had to go back to this jerk, again, to let him know her clients are not stupid. I have eaten here plenty of times, the food is a greasy spoon and when drunk you don't care but when wide awake you see some of the food is low grade dog food. Save your money, drive further south down the street...the service is much better.
Review Source:I've eaten here off and on over the years and have always been satisfied.
The fried mushroom appetizers are beyond delicious and unhealthy, but totally worth it. Â Burgers, fried fish, etc., everything seems to come out hot and tasty.
It is your typical get everything kind of diner and they do a good job at it.
This place is your typical diner with your typical breakfast,lunch and dinner. Yes,I have breakfast here almost every morning, typically cause I enjoy there atmosphere. It's very nice and calm, the waitresses are very nice and down to earth also helpful. They have an amazing variety of stuff french toast and there skillets are on point also decent coffee. I've been coming here for breakfast quite some time and I have always enjoyed my breakfast here. Everyone who works at this establishment is very polite except for the weirdo jerk-off manager, he sucks at life. Breakfast here for me has never been disappointing.
Review Source:I just really like the environment in here. Â Its nicer than the others places in the area like it. Â I always get nice service. Â The breakfasts are always good. Â They have a banana bread french toast that is really yummy. Â Also a good place to have a grilled cheese and soup, as that seems to be what I always order in similar places :)
Review Source:We were in Chesterton and wanted a bite, but didn't really trust anything in the area, When we arrived at 1 on a Sunday, it was crowded. The first thing that I noticed was the wall of smoke at the front door. The lady asked if I wanted smoking or non? Really! Unless you are seating me in another building, there is no difference. As we waited for a table the chain smokers made me realize, I should have driven another 5 minutes to Illinois. We were seated at the furthest table in the corner of the building. No smokey smell. Because there was cold air coming out of the vent next to the window. Great, it's warmer outside than in. The waitress was pleasent and our food came pretty quick. I had the melting pot skillet. Delish! It had ham, bacon, sausage, onions, mushrooms and melted, blended cheese with 3 over easy on top. The food was worth the wait, but not the smoke. This made me realize that I will not eat in restaurant that has smokers chugging away like a freight train. Indiana needs to figure it out. Health before taxes.
Review Source:Living in Chicago now, I miss the Wheel and the Lemon Rice soup sooo bad. Â The dinner specials are great, and their breakfasts are amazing. They make the best burgers too- seriously all of them are good- you can't go wrong. Â My favorite dinner meal is their chicken kiev dinner special, it's like a stuffed chicken tenderloin, sooo delicious! (Plus, it comes with lemon rice soup and dessert!)
This place has definitely improved over the years. Â There used to be a you have to order something rule due to it being the #1 lunch spot for the high school around the corner, and a bunch of teenagers coming in with friends but not eating. Â They don't force that anymore after Gavit closed their campus, but there is a plate sharing fee (only $1, don't see a problem with that.) To the people who saw bugs- you should have told the management. Â I've been coming here for 15+ years, and it's always been very clean (even though it still has a smoking section, the ONLY reason it isn't getting 5 stars).
This place isn't fancy, it's for when you want good food but don't want to go all the way to Schererville to go eat. Â It's sad that more fans aren't posting about the good food, because it's definitely better than these complaints make it seem!!
I've been going to this place for years, and have taken many people here as well. Â Even so, each time I go, the owners and the manager act as if they've never seen me before. Â If it wasn't for the nice waitresses, I wouldn't even bother going here. Â The food it okay... but their breakfast is the best here... other meals are so-so. Â A friend of mine had the stir-fry one time and the vegetables were like HUGE... like something out of that Gilligan's Island radioactive vegetables episode! And, a very odd assortment for a stir-fry. I will say that their burgers are really good, and their skirt steak is usually pretty good. Â Soups are okay, but are served luke-warm, so not worth it. Â Their bread is fresh-baked, but doughy in the middle. The thing that this place has that many other similar restaurants in the area do not have is a very nice ambiance... they recently remodeled the inside and it is much nicer. Â They also always have fresh flowers on the tables -- a VERY nice touch. They do a nice job with having hanging flower baskets outside. Â They're just not very friendly is all. And, one time after one of the brothers asked how everything was when I was paying, I told him the skirt steak was a little tough this time. He was very defensive, saying how they sell a lot of them (I know... I buy a lot of them!)... he couldn't wait to give me my change and get me on my way. f you don't like something and try to tell them about it and why it wasn't that good, they get VERY defensive, so don't bother trying help by giving them any constructive feedback.
Review Source:I am beyond shocked to see a low rating..
I've been going to the wheel since I could walk..
This is my first stop every time I visit home. They have crisp-cooked zucchini sticks in panko breadcrumbs. Fresh green salads with a to-die-for home made ranch dressing. The gyros aren't pressed meat slices, they are carved thick from the rotisserie like they should be. The tatziki is home made and makes my taste-buds sing. Their pies and puddings are home made and so fresh and delicious. And if you're a fan try their lemon rice and French onion because they are killer. The waitresses are sweet and never mess up my orders, and the food is fast, fresh, and delicious. I wish yelp let me give 10 stars! More restaurants need to take lead from the wheel.
A new low in customer service.
We met some people there to day. Out of five people we all had coffee, three had food (with an extra $1 charge for sharing a plate). When we were nearly done the manager came over and asked us to stop meeting there - even though it was the first time we'd been there. Frankly this is the worst treatment I've gotten in a restaurant in a very long time.
After reading the other reviews I can see we were not the only ones. I will never go back - the food is only basic Greek anyways.
Full disclosure, I do (kind of) know one of the owners. Â That said, a company I was training with brings the trainees here to eat, and that had nothing to do with me. Â The food here is good, the lemon rice soup is excellent and the prices are really good considering the portions you get.
Review Source:I used to pretty much live here when I was in my late teens, until one day I went there with the usual group of people, and one of us didn't feel like eating. They made this huge deal about the person not eating and said we need to leave if one person wasn't going to eat with the rest of us, and I've maybe been back about 5 times since then. We all felt that rule was absurd especially since the rest of us were pigging out, and we were always in there on a regular basis. It's not like we never tipped either. The food is decent. I like their Spanikopita, it's awesome. So is the flaming cheese. Their coffee's pretty good. They're open kind of late, but it's just not one of my top picks anymore for coffee restaurants in the area. Actually, I remember them having great Lemon Rice Soup too.
