The burger was the highlight of the visit. Portioned well, rich and meaty, with fresh toppings, and the fries were just tight. VERY lowkey establishment with a very eclectic local representation at the bar and behind it. Everyone seemed to know each other and having fun at each other's expense... I just tried to stay as background noise and enjoy my burger with Modelo Negra. It's a solid stop if you just need a quick bite and beer. Just don't sit at a table waiting for a waitress... counter service at the bar will get you there.

What a surprise find. Adorable, old time, rustic bar. Fun interior. Local's favorite, I'm sure.We shared a huge burger that was excellent. Next time we're in the area, we'll stop by again.

I love the Mexican food at this place. The waiter was helpful and funny. It is dive bar so don't set your expectations for atmosphere too high but the food did not disappoint. The waiter recommended that we try the chips and salsa, the chips are made when ordered. He said "the chips are served still screaming from the deep fryer," I will definitely order those next time-I have never had screaming tortilla chips lol.

Apparently they are scheduled to open at 6:40am but note on the door said today it was noon. Luckily I arrived at 11:57 so didn't have to wait long.As others have said, this is a dive bar. I sat down at one of the booths put my stuff down and noticed the table was all crusty. Oh well, guess it adds to atmosphere.Ordered a diet coke and looked over the menu. Typically bar food. I ordered a Western Burger with fries. It was a bit slow but they had just opened up.The fries were nice and crispy and the burger was very nice. The ketchup, mustard, and mayo were obviously right out of the refrigerator, so that was nice. The burger was cooked just right and had a nice flavor.Not sure I would come back, but it was a nice experience.

We had an appointment in Sonoita and decided to hit something in Patagonia for a late lunch. Not much was open on a Tuesday so we hit the Wagon Wheel. I'll say expectations were not high. Funny old saloon along the highway through town. Did not have cocktails , only a couple cheeseburgers and fries. It was a really good burger.

My late husband and I had eaten at the Wagon Wheel several times over 15 years ago after hiking in the area. We always sat at the bar, had a few beers each, and we'd order a burger. We always enjoyed talking to the locals. It's the only bar in town and it's on the main street through town, so this place can get busy once the sun sets.My last visit was earlier today, 4pm on a Saturday. An arts festival across the street was coming to an end, but it wasn't too busy when we walked in. We sat at a small table below the giant deer head. We both had a Barrio Blonde ($6.50). I had a delicious chicken enchilada platter ($14.35) and my friend had a cheese burger platter ($13.35). Service and food were good!The sun room was empty and no one was outside in the yard. I'm sure this place gets wild at night, but today's experience was very pleasant.

I love this place! The hamburgers are great. Sometimes service may be a little slow because waitress and bartender are one and the same. The only time I've experienced a wait is when a group of guys who have been playing in the dirt in their atv's all day (so jealous ) show up all at once. It's also got that old western look. Although usually busy bartender is always pleasant

After being told "We are too busy to serve you " last year, we finally got a chance to eat here. Little did we know that last year's experience was a blessing in disguise. We arrived with two cars in the parking lot and 4 or 5 patrons in the building. Our server who was the bartender, waitress and cultural moderator fairly quickly brought us menus and water. The menus appeared to have been previously wadded up, placed in a pocket, and carried for days, before being somewhat flattened out and provided for customers use. I'm thinking optimistically about the stains absorbed into the menus. My "medium rare" steak was dark brown, inside and out. I see now why it took 45 minutes for our order to be prepared. It was tough, dry and devoid of flavor. I didn't send it back because I didn't want to wait another 45 minutes. To be fair, the French fries were slightly better than average. If you read other reviews, I suspect any reviews higher than three stars was from a relative or someone just rescued from years on a desert island. If I were to visit here again, I'd stick to a beer.

Severely understaffed at 5:30 PM on a Friday night. Seems as if the bartender was the only help in the restaurant. We asked for menus, and he told us he would get to us when he had a chance. To say he was extremely rude is an understatement. When one in our group hesitated, he said " I can't stand here all night, I have people to wait on." When one in our group asked about vegetarian options, he stated "try somewhere else, we don't cater to vegetarians" although there are salads, fries, coleslaw, etc. on the menu. If you're passing thru Patagonia, as we were, try somewhere else.
