Megan was our server. She was perfect! Food delicious We had an oil change for car at Chevy and waited here. Highly recommended

Finally tried breakfast, sadly only thing good was the eggs. Tots petrified, hard biscuit, gravy was like raw flour missing sausage.

We've always enjoyed the food at LW over the years. Today we met our neighbors there for breakfast which was our first time going early (9am) when they opened. I don't understand why napkins/flat wear isn't on the table or at least brought once you order a beverage. I initially ordered just water, the other 3 had coffee. I wanted to taste it before ordering as I'm so tired of paying $3-4 and it turns out so weak or awful. This wasn't bad, it was at least strong so I ordered my own but then it took her over 10 mins. to finally get. At that point we'd already ordered and it had been nearly 1/2 hr since arrival. She said it would be a bit longer due to just one cook on duty, ugh. There was a big table of about 10-12 men that seemed to take priority over all the smaller tables. We finally get our meals at about the 45 min mark, all the plates looked pleasing but our potatoes/tots did look really dark but we did ask for extra crispy. I ordered biscuits/sausage gravy & eggs w/tots. My eggs unfortunately were the only properly cooked thing on my plate. The tots so overly fried they disintegrated upon biting and couldn't even use my fork to pick up...which I've never experienced. The sausage gravy was more of a raw flour black pepper gravy, biscuits hard on bottom doubt they were made fresh. Obviously wasn't happy overall with my meal. Hubby had eggs Benedict w/country potatoes, he asked for soft eggs and got firm (no runny yolk, dang) potatoes edible but many hard, hollandaise good, ham on muffin barely there... he too not impressed. Our neighbors ordered their staple of an omelette and French toast which they were happy with. Not sure we'd go back for breakfast. Hope we just had a bad day regarding the cooks food and slow service.

It's been a two years since the last time I was here. This time the clam strips were just ok. They were a little overdone compared to the last time I had them. Service was good considering the number of people all demanding food at the same time. The problem is the customer should be given the bill prior to being asked for payment. You're assuming that they got the order right. In this case they didn't. I only had the clam strips, not the cup of soup. Unfortunately I didn't realize the extra charge until after I got home. Next time I'm definitely gonna be asking for the receipt to make sure it's correct.

Everything here is both massive and delicious. Definitely a reccomend. I couldn't believe the entire chicken was only 15 dollars!

Been calling the location for a week & sent out numerous emails to inquire about possibly hosting a group gathering or such for a birthday celebration. I wanted to secure or get a section reserved. Really just needed information for a large party. No answers no responses I don't know how much times I've called & it rang & rang. So then I found another venue for a birthday dinner celebration but still wanted to stop by for cocktails before the surprise dinner I was planning. I phoned the location one more time to see if they had the burger challenge & someone finally picked up - the gal on the other line said yes ! So we went there & when We got there we sat ourselves & took us about 15min for a server to greet us & get menus to the table. I should have known then. We put in our orders with the server but were shocked when we were told that they didn't offer the burger challenge anymore. Mind you they advertise it & I spoke to a gal & confirmed on the phone. So it was like whatever's we'll order the burger & just time it ourselves. While we waited for our drinks & food a new server came to introduce herself & let us know she was taking over the table as the previous server was leaving for the day. The food took a while to come out but it looked like they had a rush so it was understandable & we just chatted & caught up with each other. Food finally came & we did our own "what were u thinking burger challenge" The burger consist of two lbs of patties 5lbs bacon grilled cheese as buns & a 1 lbs of jojos for 25 min. The birthday celebrant didn't finish the jojos & the last Pattie but he demolished the rest in 24min. I would have given more stars but I just felt like they lack communication with the employees docked it. False advertisement with the challengers & then there were kids running around in a "bar" & the server who originally was our server kept giving our table dirty looks. Our server Jenny who took over the table was amazing tho! She kept checking on us & made sure we were ok & had water.

Club sandwich and Tater Tots

Have picked up lunch here on several occasions. The club sandwich is large and is two meals. Highly recommend.

"Extra hot" Hot Wings
Ray B.

I want to love this place like a Ex you know you know you need to leave. HOWEVER, the food while not bad whatsoever is unfortunately lacking the "killer instinct" that Kobe and Shaq used to send Tim Duncan and the Spur's home so many times. The food is "meh," the prices are "oh h#$ no," but the service is almost always above expectations. The waitress was attentive and speedy with was very nice! On this visit I ordered some wings and a BLT. The wings were decent and had a good amount of heat. My only wish was that the wing sauce had more flair or more season to it beside just Franks Hot Sauce and butter. The BLT however stole the show, it was big and fresh and the bacon was very high quality. Unfortunately, each of these food items cost $20. Yes you heard that correct. $20 for 12 wings and $20 for a BLT and tater tots . APPALLING. I mean cmon Loose Wheel! The prices aren't even listed on the menu just like a used car lot! I want so desperately to come here more but the price makes attending your establishment on a regular basis a bad business move for so many of us. PROS: - STAFF - LARGE MENU - POOL TABS -DARTS -POOL TABLES -AMBIANCE CONS: -COST -COST -COST -COST

The paper and small mess left on the floor the entire time we were there.

I didn't see any reviews or pics for breakfast really, help?

I've had breakfast there twice. The only potato options are deep fried tots or deep fried home fries. No hashbrowns. I don't like deep fried home fries myself. They serve breakfast on basically chilled plates so your breakfast gets cold really fast.…

Super friendly staff, multiple alcoholic and non alcoholic Halloween themed drinks that were super…read morecreative and delicious! A lot of comfortable seating and food if you want a snack or sandwich.

Great photo ops, fun decor, a creative cocktail menu, and cool board games! The only downside was…read morethe service from one bartender. We went as a party of four and tried the following: * Sally Sells Seashells - My drink! Basically a piña colada. * Pecan't Even - Like an Old Fashioned, with candied pecans on the side. * Banana Split (don't remember the exact name) - Delicious! It really tasted like a banana split. * Chocolate milkshake mocktail (with alcohol added) - Also really good; it tasted just like chocolate. Personally, my favorites were the dessert-inspired drinks because they're not something you can find just anywhere. Unfortunately, the service really brought the experience down. We came in at 9:20 p.m. on a Sunday as a party of four adults in our 30s. We walked in completely sober and specifically came just to try the cocktails--I was so excited! When we reached the bar, the bartender warned us that last call was in 20 minutes. I inquired, "Oh, so we should just order the second round now?" He replied, "Oh no, you have to finish your drink first." About 10 minutes later, a server came by to let us know last call was in 10 minutes. Shortly afterward, the bartender brought us our drinks. I playfully said, "So I have to finish this in 10 minutes to order another?" He responded, "No, I'm not making you another one." We left around 9:50 p.m., before closing, and I was honestly astonished. We certainly weren't going to get rowdy after two drinks. If anything, every other bartender I've encountered would have encouraged another round or even offered shots--which honestly would have doubled the tip because we're considerate customers. That interaction really soured what had otherwise been a great experience. We were visiting from out of state, so we won't have another opportunity to come back and try more of the menu until our next trip.

Went here for New Years Eve. Staff was efficient, polite and friendly. Got there early to make…read moresure we weren't standing the whole night. Got a four top we shared with another couple. Place was packed in no time and kudos to the bar staff. They kept it moving despite the fact so many people were just standing and drinking at the service bar. Was a bit loud but the music was non stop and good dancing. I have never line danced and at 72 wasn't about to go out on the floor and figure it out. Crowd was great. Was surprised how polite everyone was. Not a single obnoxious drunk the whole night. Wife went out on the floor and tried, no one made fun of the fact she was an obvious newbie. Loved watching all the people dance, enjoyed my free shot of Jack (actually 4 shots, only Jack drinker the table) made it on the floor for a couple slow dances. A little spendy but not bad for New Years Eve. Week before spent $128 at a burger bar for two, meh, burgers and two short poured martinis. Take this place any day. Guess they have days where they give line dancing lessons. We'll be back to check that out. All in all, a good time. If you happen by and see an old fart making a fool of himself with both left feet on the floor, give him a break, it's probably moi.

dj plays only what he wants and a bunch of song switch even if you request the original song…read more.. they also only like line dancing during two step, even called out people and said don't be afraid to push them off the dance floor. This looked like the owner and DJ saying it. I believe one of the people was an instructor.
