“We were probably the first tourists to stop here as we were driving to Cincinnati. The locals were genuinely surprised to see us, and they couldn’t have been more welcoming and kind. And the Wagon Wheel Burger was absolutely amazing! Sometimes the best stops are the ones you never plan. :::”

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND. My "Combo Appetizer" was delivered to the table in an OVEN PAN WITH TIN FOIL, and the deep-fried mushrooms, mozzarella sticks and onion rings were just thrown on top of the tin foil liner in the pan. WTF?! TALK ABOUT TACKY AND LOW-CLASS. ...AND the pan was warped so that it moved as you tried to stick a piece of food with your fork. If I'm paying $13 for an Appetizer, at the very least I want it on a plate! Who in their right mind thinks that's acceptable food presentation?! The owner, Andy, actually said he was "surprised" by my complaint as no one had complained before. I found that to be absolutely ridiculous. Owner & cook = total morons 🙄 LOOK at the attached pic so you can see this atrocity for yourself -- or, of course, you can waste $13 and order this mediocre frozen food, which you can make far better in your own air fryer. What a disappointment this restaurant was. #Tacky #Unappetizing #TotallyGross Oh, and though the server was very nice and fast (and tipped well, she was totally embarrassed by their most expensive Appetizer's presentation.”

“Love this place but for price and quality it could do better. we got mac n cheese and some ribs and both were low quality. mac n cheese tasted like melted cheese and bland noodles. no seasoning or much taste to them. which for $12 is rid. the ribs were bland and held together by the bbq sauce which for $40 almost or $30 if u get a half rack, its disappointing.if you’re charging that much, id hope the quality matches. lyric was our server and so amazing tho. she was beyond accommodating and very kind to the issues we have. the front desk girl seating us tho could do better as well. i work in customer service and the way she was acting while taking names, numbers and us to our seats was a little disappointing. i get busy days and rushes but at least try. it wasn’t just w us, i observed it w everyone she was helping and taking to their table. for $150 + they could definitely raise their standards a little and do better w food. but we still love it and will be back. hopefully next time it’ll be better aside from lyric. she’s great and very kind”
