You have to try them—they're incredible! This place on Tip Hill really suits my vibe. The other spots around here mostly cater to college students and people in midlife crises. Wheeler’s feels more laid-back and serves delicious food. They aren’t really known for mixed drinks, so it’s best to stick with something simple. I’ll likely be back myself!

Although the menu is limited to what was up on the board fish fry Friday, pork chop, mac and cheese, and various fired sides, I will be coming back! Wife had the fish said it was the best she has ever had with a perfect, non greasy crisp and I had both the mac and cheese and pork chop with both being phenomenal. Great drinks, and a laid back crowd, which can be very difficult to find on Tipp Hill any night, let alone on a Friday. We will be definitely going back again!
