Take The Wheel Restaurant — Restaurant in Houston

In a plethora of fast food options I was seeking something new. I googled "What should I eat for lunch?", and this place popped up. The pictures drew me in and I had to try it. I ordered the crispy chicken salad with grilled shrimp and my partner ordered the loaded fries and honey hot wings, on a last minute whim we decided to get a banana pudding as well. I will start by saying for for the portion , quality and flavor, the food was reasonably priced. The flavors were amazing, well seasoned but not salty and delicious. My partner finished the wings before leaving the parking lot, we tussled over the banana pudding as it was very similar to the one I make at home, and the salad was the big enough for two servings easily. I've never had a salad that didn't need dressing until today. My partner stated that the customer service was excellent and they even shared the story on how they got the name for the restaurant. This place is definitely a gem and I'm looking forward to trying the other items on the menu....

If you are looking for some good wings...this place is a must !! The wings are a good size..not those tiny wings you get from WingStop or Wing Boss. They have several wings sauces to choose from : Buffalo, BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Mango Habanero, Sweet Chili,Bourbon, Lemon Pepper and Hot Lemon Pepper.

They have Fries, Sweet Potato 🥔 Fries, Onion Rings, Sautéed veggies, Potato Salad, Green Beans, Red Beans & Rice and Rice and Gravy. Salads are also on the menu. They have tons of appetizers ANDDDDD....DAIQUIRI'S !!! Plenty of flavors to choose from if you want to get ready for the weekend, your day off or just your day off from your baby daddy....🤣🤣. Did I mention...they have Kool-Aid...Yeah...you need to check this spot out...and they have a Hooka Lounge. If you haven't been...you sleeping...
