The Wheel Kitchen — Restaurant in Texas

We were so excited to come try out this dining experience. Upon arrival we sat down and had to wait 20 mins to receive water and a waiter to come talk to us. Immediately we informed them of our milk and egg allergy daughter, to give them plenty of time to discuss to let us know what was available for her. We asked the waitress who came around 25 mins in to talk to the chef and let us know. She came back with an option. When we went to order they told us they were not accepting food orders for 15 mins due to a large party. Now, we have been here for 40 mins and only allowed to order beverages at a restaurant? This made us a little disappointed, but we had the time today so we stayed. When we were allowed to order food, we reminded the waitress again of the allergy and ensured there was no cross contamination and it was safe for our baby. The food took a very long time to come out, and when it did they informed us that her food was made with egg whites when we clearly said there was an egg and milk allergy multiple times. I understand this is a hard allergy trust me as the parents we find this hard too, but after multiple talks and checks I was very upset to wait over an hour later to find out it was cooked with eggs. My daughter is only 2 and was very hungry at this point. We then talked to the chef and said okay let’s just do the bacon and sausage and please do not cook it in butter as this contains dairy as well. When her food did come out another 20 mins after everyone had eaten it was good. However, as a restaurant, I expected more care and more diligence when a customer clearly expressed allergies before order anything. The service really needs to be looked at in this situation. On top of this, no apologies were offered which shows the lack of care for...

Great food with the unique flavors that you will not find in any other restaurant. Wonderful service and great music on Friday nights. The food Is all local, prepared by Thelma, professionally trained in California and worked in Italy.

A limited menu but everything we tried was delicious. Sat outdoors on a wonderful evening, totally enjoyable. No liquor license so BYOB. Make sure you try the coffee it is like savoring a liquor.

A YEAR LATER - EVEN BETTER Came for a Friday dinner again almost a year after our first visit, it was better than the first time which was also wonderful. There were seven of us and we shared, everything was delicious. While there's meat in most dishes this restaurant is definitely plant based and the portions are not the usual 'Texas' size which you take half the meal home. It is still a BYOB place, service is friendly but casual, not fancy, drinks are served in mason jars, the outdoor seating under a gigantic tree, relaxing and romantic. Their is live music on Friday nights.

I had the beef chili, the best I have ever tasted. Each mouthful was a taste sensation tilling the mouth with flavor, the texture of the beans and beef was perfect for this meal. Spaghetti squash with sausage was a unique and tasty meal that you would never find anywhere else.

I highly recommend it.

Eight months later (June 16, 2019)- still a five Saw on FB that they were having a Special Event, It was very eclectic tasting menu, had many things I never had before, a true taste treat. took a picture of the menu, unfortunately not the food and you will see what I mean. This place is not for meat and potato eaters but those who want an...

Service: Upon arriving at 12:30pm on a Sunday, it took a moment to be seated and 8 minutes for the server to speak with us. Another 11 minutes later, we got the first of our drinks (plain iced tea). Another 5 minutes and we got our black coffee and espresso macchiato. Fast-forward 18 more minutes and we got our food. We had to ask three servers for refills before the manager got them for us. The business was busy, but not overly so, but the service was poor. I would have left out of frustration due to such service, but I was with my elderly parents on vacation.

Atmosphere: A quaint, tightly-packed inside seating area that was VERY loud. Outdoor seating available with much more room to enjoy than inside. Too many tables are inside making seating mildly claustrophobic (the manager moved our table around to give us more room).

Food: We ordered the Avocado toast, pork sandwich, and bread pudding breakfast. The bread pudding wasn't overly sweet, which is good, and had a good texture. The pork sandwich was reported to taste good but the pulled pork was exceptionally dry, requiring all of the provided sauce.The avocado toast had to be eaten with knife and fork, making it a little difficult for my elderly mother to eat.

Summary: Claustrophobic inside, good food, but far from great. Due to the service alone, I wouldn't go back in the future.*

*We spoke to friends who were also there. They confirmed the service is always slow (they visit multiple...
