After reading all of the rave reviews of the Wheel I was really looking forward to an outstanding meal, but all I got was a good meal. The crab cakes were huge but bland. My wife faired better with her Thorpe Pork. Service was speedy and good. But I don't think I would return.

Dinner at The Wheel was the best restaraunt experience I have ever had.. this is a gem in a great little town. The atmosphere is ecclectic and comfortable and the staff is friendly, sincere, and you can tell they love what they do. The smaller menu is perfect - it shows that the owner/chef loves to cook, does it very,... More

Now, I have been told that sometimes the Wheel closes early, or turns people away after a certain timeframe.. but I have not experienced this yet. MY finace and I just went for dessert and cappucino, and both were phenominal. The espresso had homeade cream in it! It was so good we both talked about it all night. We had... More

My girlfriend and I went here last night and could not have been more thrilled. Cool ambience, attentive servers, and awesome cuisine! I had the Shrimp bisque and Baltimore meets Tokyo(crab cake/wasabi) dish. My gf had the Pork w/ Fennel over pasta. We finished off with Choc. Mousse which was also wonderful. When we go back we will definitely make... More

This place is very cool. We came for dinner and were quite pleased. The interior is uniquely decorated with blue lights under the tables and things hanging from the celling. We could not get over how well everything was put together. The tables were splash painted and they have lovely plates. We had the lobster macaroni for an appetizer and... More

Attending an evening concert at the Mauch Chunk Opera House. Not knowing the area, we stopped in The Wheel as it was the first restaurant we found open. Small intimate setting with fabulous food. Enjoyed a tradition Irish dinner (as we were a week away from St Patty's Day of corned beef/cabbage/potatoes) and roast pork with fennel/spinach/cheeses - both delicious!... More

This is our second trip to Jim Thorpe and we've tried every dinner restaurant in town and Wheel is hands down the best. The food is reasonably priced compared to the other restaurants in town. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is very helpful but I go to a restaurant for FOOD and both times I've been to Wheel... More

My wife and I decided to try the Wheel solely because of the reviews we read in tripadvisor and the pictures and postings on The Wheels website. WE HAD A GREAT TIME!! The menu selections are very unique and the food was excellent. The ambience was quite relaxing and inviting, kind of a mixture of ecclectic and historic Jim Thorpe.... More

At the last minute we decided to go out to dinner in Jim Thorpe. It was the height of the fall foliage season and the place was booked till 7:30. We got there about 7:30 and were seated right away. Very interesting place where the ambiance reflects the owner's unique and adventurous approach to cooking. We started off with two... More
