Full disclosure - The Wagon Wheel Steakhouse is owned and operated by a high school friend so you may think my review could be biased. But as a Yelp Elite, I need to keep it real. And Wagon Wheel is definitely real.Anyone that knows me is aware that I'm a comfort food aficionado. If it's hot, fried, salty, covered in gravy - then most likely I will enjoy it. My tastebuds were thrilled to discover that Wagon Wheel Steakhouse serves the mother lode of comfort food.The first thing you'll notice when you see the servers carrying plates past your table to deliver to other customers is that everything, and I mean virtually everything, is made in house. The regular fries and the curly cue fries are fresh cut. They offer crinkle cut fries too like you can get in some fast food restaurants, but why would you order that when you can get fresh cut? The chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak, the pork tenderloins are all hand breaded and fried in the kitchen. Wagon Wheel doesn't serve pre-cut and pre-fried fritters, no sir. As you can see in my picture, my pork tenderloin sandwich was twice the size of the bun, so I cut it in half and took the rest home to eat later - this made my dinner both tasty and cheap as I received two meals for the price of one.There is a small but sufficient fresh salad bar available as well as homemade pie for dessert. A full bar is to the right of the entrance and there are new flat screen TVs all around the dining room. A friend told me Wagon Wheel serves her favorite fried mushrooms and others told me their hamburgers are some of the best around - I can't wait to return and try these, as well as their steaks.When you visit, say hello to my friend the owner Linda Jo. Although she may not be easy to find as she personally spends a great deal of time in the kitchen cooking the food herself. I think you'll agree, her hands-on approach makes the difference at Wagon Wheel.

OMG...food here is AWESOME!!!My wife and I came in this weekend (saturday night - 10/22 ) - around 7ish... This place really started to fill up with customers around 8.. We knew this place probably makes a decent steak and potato cause everyone around us had one.. But.. my wife got the Chicken Fried Steak, and I got the Cheeseburger... My wife is very picky about Chicken Fried Steaks, (always saying my grandma used to make the best chicken fried steak, blah blah blah) - but she said very slow and deliberately between mouthfuls of food.. - "this is probably the best Chicken Fried Steak, I have ever had.." Wow.. she is 64 years old, small town girl, who has made it big in the corporate world, traveled all over the world and knows good food - that said something.. (Chicken Fried Steak came w/ green beans, and mashed potato's, and basically covered an entire plate.. My Cheeseburger was awesome..!! big burger, swiss cheese, and mushrooms..We topped it off w/ a cherry cobler w/ ice cream, and basically felt like we had to be rolled out the door, cause we were so full.Staff was extremely friendly.. very prompt, pricing was extremely fair for the helpings we got..We will definitely bring the family in next time, and can't wait to try other items on the menu..(definitely will try the steaks..) Highly recommend this Wagon Wheel Steakhouse..

The food is great and service always friendly. Burgers are amazing, steaks also excellent when affordable (rather pricey of late) and they have a nice salad bar. There are TVs all around the dining area and bar and it's nicely decorated. I only gave it a 4 star because I feel they could do better on food presentation, and the serving staff are not as attentive once an order is placed.

This place was exceptional. There was a nice ambiance to the place. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional. Both my husband and I had the hand breaded chicken sandwiches and salad bar. We live outside of Paola currently, and previously lived in Olathe for 14 years. The food we had tonight rivaled many of the city restaurants we frequent. We will definitely be coming back. This place definitely a hidden gem and worth trying if you are a foodie!

Food extremely pricy 8$ kids meals and 12+ dollar adult meals. Didn't feel like we got our moneys worth and it wanted even that great.

Food was served but overcooked. Also the taco salad was overpriced for what it was. This eatery used to be one of the best around but not today. The parking lot is riddled with large potholes. Have to say we won't be coming back.
