Wheelers Restaurant

Stopped for dinner with my daughter and a friend. We are driving from Tulsa to Dallas. We were greeted with singing. Friday night had a guitar player who sang folk songs. We were seated quickly. We asked for recommendations. All the food is made from scratch except for the kid burrito and corn dog. We decided to have steak fingers or chicken fried steak. The food was very tasty and serviced hot. We had to wait a few minutes for the food to cool down.

Walked in hungry, left hungry. We waited about 45 minutes for our food. I ordered fried green tomatoes and a baked potato thinking it would be fast. The fried green tomatoes were wrong. They were hockey pucks. My baked potato had a boiled texture so it was way past holding time, it was hard as a rock. I couldn't even chew the fried green tomatoes they were so hard. I would say change the recipe and change the cooking method or just take them off the menu. They were deep fried and fried green tomatoes aren't supposed to be deep fried. They had some kind of thick flour breading on them and it was gummy. So I'm not one to complain without offering a solution, I'm going to recommend this breading mix. Get a 4 lb bag of cornmeal mix, make sure it's a mix that has the flower and everything already in it, such as three rivers, or Martha white, then get a 1 lb jar of Creole seasoning or Cajun seasoning such as Walmart Great value Creole seasoning. Put the 4 lb bag of cornmeal mix in a large bowl. Add 3/4 of the 1 lb jar of Creole seasoning, you don't want to add the whole jar because if you do it's going to be too salty. Mix well and keep it in an airtight container. The tomato slices should be no thicker than three nickels stacked together. Dip them an egg then dip them in the breading mix and pan fry, shallow fry in about a quarter to half inch of oil. Serve with ranch or remoulade sauce. My suggestion would be serve them on a bed of grits with sauce on the side. But the recipe needs to change for sure. My husband was okay with his meal, I didn't hear him complain.Had no complaints about the service the people were very nice and the place was very clean, but there was a party going on in the back room, and I would recommend that if there's going to be a party with that many people, just shut the restaurant down for the public so that people don't have to wait so long for their food. They're just doesn't seem to be enough hands in the kitchen to handle all the business. And I love the decor that part was really nice.

We were with a group of 6 friends traveling to visit another friend in Arkansas and decided to stop in for a bite. The restaurant is very conveniently located on the side of the highway. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside gives you those comfy, relaxed southern vibes. For lunch I ordered the chicken fingers with a side of mashed potatoes. I LOVE me some white gravy and was a bit sad to hear they were out, but the brown gravy was pretty tasty so it wasn't too bad. The potatoes were a bit on the dry side but had a good flavor. The chicken fingers were SO GOOD. My husband ordered the club sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes, which he said he also enjoyed. The general consensus around the table was that it was all very tasty, home cooked food. The server was very attentive and we all left there pleasantly stuffed.

What a pleasant surprise! This place is so good--easy, no fuss and prompt service. And the portions are so generous! The steak fingers are ridiculously good: I'm pretty sure it's just a chicken fried steak cut into pieces, and I'm here for it. The mashed potatoes are everything, and you can have brown OR white gravy--I love a place with options where it counts.

The steak was yummy, the service was great - and they had a good deal on the food! Nice place for a pit stop on a road trip, or a little dinner.

Service was slow, cook could not work on more than one order at a time and food was not fit to eat. Bacon half raw and hamburger meat while generous was burnt. Lost a lot of time here.the

We were driving back to Texas from Missouri and decided to stop here because of the high rating. I'm not sure why it has such a high rating because it definitely wasn't anything impressive. The waitress was somewhat nice at the beginning. I ordered the chicken breast and loaded baked potato. The chicken was very dry and not good. They brought me out a plain baked potato and when I asked where the toppings were the waitress went back to the window and yelled that she needed toppings for the baked potato because I didn't tell her I wanted it loaded. There were also two dead flies choking on the table next to us.The bathroom decor is cute though as are the decorations around the restaurant and the cheesecake was good but had an unidentifiable black coating on part of it.

Best cheeseburger for 250 miles. Onion rings equally 5 stars! Asked about pie and our waitress told us we hit the day when cherry was just coming out of the oven. It was so good that we timed our trip to stop again in the way home. Don't Miss Wheelers!

The food was really good. I had a party melt and my husband had the club sandwich. They first brought my patty melt out burned and I had to ask they make it again but once they did it was really good. We also got a banana cream pie on the way out. It was good, not very sweet but good.

Used to enjoy stopping at this small diner for meals when traveling up & down 69 through Oklahoma. My husband loved their pies, too. Looks like they are closed now.
