First of all let me say that my food was delicious. The sausage was very good especially with the syrup. And the banana pancakes were very sweet with very fresh bananas. My bacon was rich and not too fatty. The syrup I got with my Katy cakes was hot and the pancakes were soft and buttery. The food took about 20 mins to arrive and the waiter was nice in providing us with his suggestions and his favorite menu item. Now the environment was unreal. The walls were lined with rodeo style paintings, posters, trinkets and more! We were only provided with one paper napkin each which I wasn't a fan of. The table was also sticky when we were sat and we ended up cleaning it ourselves. Overall, I wouldn't eat here again but it's a great experience to try.

The guy who owns the place is awesome- he’s put a lot of love and good vibes into the place. French toast was delicious and so was the hash!

Tables and chairs outside. No indoor seating. It's fast food. Huell Howser ate there on his TV show. Food is

Had to find breakfast somewhere in Carmel and this is one of the few places open before 8:00 a.m. When I entered the restaurant there were no customers and I think there was a cook sitting at a table looking at his phone. He acknowledged me and said I could sit anywhere and handed a me a menu. It was a pretty big basic breakfast menu and I really couldn't figure out what I wanted but I always go with my staple corned beef hash. They said it was homemade so I decided to go with that and it came with three eggs which I had cooked over easy and chose an English muffin. Eventually the host came in and took my order. I didn't have any thing to drink except for water. So when the food came out I was a bit surprised because the corned beef hash looked a little bit odd to me. I definitely wasn't expecting the can stuff but it just looked different because it looked like it was sliced corned beef hash that was just chopped up with some potatoes and onions. I was hoping for something more dense. Mostly meat, not much in terms of potatoes which were chopped pretty small. So when I tried it it was actually pretty good. It was a bit on the greasy side but not bad. The eggs were fine and the English muffin was burnt a little burnt. So while I was eating my meal more people eventually came in so it was a better atmosphere. The hostess/server was attentive as he filled my water cup when needed. This place is cash only or Venmo so be prepared for that. Overall a pretty good breakfast place even though I probably have to be back to try other dishes. Solid ***.

Great cash only spot to grab some breakfast. On another Google reviewers recommendation we shared their amazing pumpkin pie pancakes which are delicious. The wife and I also had their chicken fried steak and eggs which we both devoured promptly. Their potatoes are another stand out featured on their menu that I would have to recommend. Definitely try this place out if you get the chance.
Just like a fisherman hates to give away the location of a great fishing hole, I was hesitant to tell others about how this wonderful this restaurant is because I don't want the crowds to make it unbearable. The four of us arrived expecting a long wait on Sunday morning, yet were seated rather quickly. The coffee was excellent and the food arrived quickly and was one of the best breakfast I've ever had. We will definitely make the Wagon Wheel our breakfast place when we visit the Carmel Valley
