No frills but great food and generous portions. I had grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and fried okra. It was all delicious. Service was welcoming and responsive. read more

It's dirty , food not desirable. Never cooked to order specifications. Food doesn't look fresh, use too much oil

I absolutely love the Wagon Wheel! Good food and good portions! My favorite is the cheeseburger club with Tater Tots! Along with their fresh vegetables sides and onions rings!!! The service is great too! Everyone is always so friendly and attentive! It's a great place to get a good meal and laugh with family and friends! I have eaten here in the same building for many years now!!! read more

A hidden gem! Ignore the "overpriced" and "dirty" remarks! Best biscuits I have ever eaten! Portions large and done well! Service attentive but not artificial! Well worth a stop! read more

First time there. Reasonably priced but so greasy I could hardly eat it. Home fries had pooling grease. Service was slow to the point we thought they forgot our order as everyone around us had their food (who came in after). One and done for us. read more

Nothing really particularly special about this joint. Th food is slightly better than eating fast food, but the price isn't really worth it. I never got my Pepsi refilled during my visit aswel. read more

On a cold, rainy afternoon working in the area, I stopped by the Wagon Wheel for some good country cooking. The staff provided service with a smile. The coffee was hot and fresh. I think they made a pot just for me. The burger and tater tots were very good. The Wagon Wheel offers home cooked meals at very reasonable prices. read more

Expensive. Nothing special about the food and very cheap on servings. Haven't been in a while and probably won't eat there. Last time was extremely overpriced and I love local places. read more

Tucked away from the main road it was almost easy to miss. We kept it simple with their Working Man's lunch (cheeseburger, fries and slaw) and a grilled chicken and bacon sandwich. The burgers were hand made patties and char grilled just right. The chicken patty was grilled too. All was delicious and the service was spot on. The decor is rustic but fairly clean. It's well liked by the locals, and travelers from the highway. We definitely recommend. read more

I have been a seasonal customer of this family establishment for years. It's not fancy but authentic. It's where the locals eat. Absolutely get the fried okra! And the large selection of homemade pies is truly what makes this place stand out. If you are a food snob, don't go. These are hard working, real people creating local country cooking. read more

Last visit the chicken livers were served raw and when they were returned twice then told to forget the order ...we were told by the server the charge could not be taken off the ticket because it would make the owner "mad"...? They need to worry about making the patrons sick! Not a good experience at all. read more

Great to be able to get real local food like we grew up on instead of the standard menu available everywhere.

This place isn't really on yelp but maybe more reviews can help with that. Hubby found this place while we were just passing thru town. Definitely a "hole in the wall" kind of establishment. When we went it was a seat yourself style. There's a ton of tables and they were pretty busy. I ordered the French toast with sausage and hubby ordered biscuits and gravy with sausage and home fries. Both our meals were pretty good. Service was kind of slow but I think it was only because they were understaffed big time. I would probably give it another go for breakfast. Priced average for a breakfast "mom and pop" place. read more

Went to lunch at this lil gem! Burgers are fabulous! Great service! Well worth the wait and will for sure be back!! read more

The server was nice although my cup was empty about 30% of the visit. At the end he did put my refill in a to go cup on my way out. My grilled cheese was American cheese which would have been great if it had been melted. The bread was lightly toasted and golden. The fried okra was more than likely from the freezer but the fried squash was freshly fried and well seasoned. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. read more

Not quite a meat and 3 but similar concept and food offerings. This is a hit or miss on your entrees. Some items are very TV dinnerish then some items are more fresh such as their burgers are pretty good and steak tips but their country fried steak is the perfectly round formed frozen patties. They tend to be generous with their portions considering their low prices. read more

Mediocre food, surly waitress, dirty dining room but cheap prices. You might want to skip this one.

This restaurant is the epitome of "hole in the wall restaurants have the best food." We have lived in this area for 3 years and we are sad we just found this place! We would've been eating here regularly. The pancakes were excellent. We had both plain pancakes and blueberry pancakes. The real blueberries were huge and perfectly ripe. The oatmeal was delicious and steaming hot. The eggs and bacon were made perfect to order. The biscuits were clearly homemade, and although they looked like they might be dry - they were wonderful!!! The portions were generous but not ridiculous. Our service was friendly and fast - we couldn't have asked for anything more! We are looking forward to trying the French Toast, a Breakfast skillet and a breakfast sandwich. When we saw those delivered to other tables and they looked delicious. read more

Delicious home cooked food. Reminds me of my grandmother in the kitchen fixing supper for me! I had the special of the day..... Pork Roast with Potatoes a side salad, corn fritters and corn bread to top thing off.... the drink was included for $7.99. What a deal! Service was great and the food was great! read more

The Place The Wagon Wheel is located in North Carolina. It is a classical small town country restaurant with ample table seating and parking. The Menu The breakfast menu was a tradition country breakfast offering. We had eggs over easy with American fries and scrambled eggs American fries, biscuits and gravy and coffee. Our food was very good and the gravy tasted homemade. The Experience/Value/Service Our service was efficient and friendly. Our food came quickly and represented a very fair value. If you want a classical country breakfast and are in the area... stop in!!! read more

Nothing fancy, just plain and good. I have tried quite a few things on their menu. My favorite is the bacon double cheese burger. Just a good ole fashioned American burger that is always fresh and well cooked and fills that comfort food need. Oh, and they have the thick cut crinkle fries, no shoestrings here. Been goin here now for almost 5 years. Have never had anything I did not like. It may not look the greatest on the inside, but don't let the look fool you. This is the place where the People of Mars Hill love to go to eat. read more

Very unsuspecting but great food. Kind people and prices are not terrible. Great for country cooking.

It's not the worst but definitely not the best place I've ever ate at. For a locally owned restaurant I expected more than canned biscuits with gravy, especially in North Carolina. Grits were bland and my wife's biscuit was like a brick on the outside. Bojangles is next door... read more

Good southern food and service. Certain food items can be a little greasy at times. Salads are amazing and fresh.

We were starving and there were few restaurants open due to the pandemic. The place was clean and the waitress friendly. However, it turned into a poor choice. We waited over an hour for a simple order of sandwiches for lunch. The sides were wrong and the food was lukewarm. We will never return. read more

We found this place basically by accident, but we're so glad we did. The staff is vet friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is amazing. I ordered the veggie omelette which was great, but I couldn't stop eating my son's blueberry pancakes. They were light, fluffy and and delicious. I highly recommend them. The hash browns and biscuits are also delicious. If you're nearby, make sure you have a meal at the Wagon Wheel. You won't regret it! read more

Love this place. I always get the Philly steak and cheese and I'm never disappointed. Love the wait staff as well and thank you to all the cooks. read more

Always been my favorite place in Mars Hill! Not only is the food amazing, but the owner and employees go outta their way to make you feel at home. If you haven't been here then you're missing out! Absolutely the best breakfast anywhere in the area! read more

The epitome of a local, small mountain restaurant. You can just tell that everyone knows everyone and it is a favorite place amongst them. The prices are pretty cheap an you get a decent meal. The waitress is always very kind and tries to make sure everything is fresh and hot! I had the Veggie Melt and some jalapeño poppers, which were great. My husband had both the chicken sandwich and the sirloin steak sandwich (two separate occasions) and he liked then both. It seems to always have a large crowd in at all times, so others must also approve. read more

Great little diner in Mars Hill. If you haven't been you need to get over there. The staff is friendly, the food is good, and it is very affordable!!!! read more

If you are looking for a true county home cooked breakfast, it's here! Fresh baked biscuits and the best sausage gravy....yum! I recommended the skillet breakfast. Great service as well. Enjoy! read more

Food is decent and the prices mostly reasonable. This is a good, typical breakfast/lunch place. I haven't been for dinner. They would get another star or two but, unfortunately, they mix politics and religion with the business and not everyone feels welcome here. The staff seem friendly and I'm not especially sensitive but the conversations I've overheard between patrons and patrons and the owner/staff sometimes make it impossible to enjoy a meal there. I know others who have said the same thing... Otherwise, a good local place. read more

Went there for breakfast. It is a self-seating establishment. The customers and staff is very friendly. The food is average, I got eggs, bacon and grits. There was nothing added to them to make the tasting exceptionally better than what you can do at home. read more

Stopped here today for lunch from out of town. The food was good, portion sizes were gracious compared to the prices. Restaurant needed a lot of tlc- but that didn't affect the food! read more

It's very average. My wife and I had breakfast here today. I had a descent omelet, overcooked homefries, and disappointing coffee ( the toast was good). If the coffee was good I would say this place is worth going to if you had to as far as being really hungry and not wanting to drive anywhere else. read more

It's really not that bad if you're local. I've lived here my whole life and know everyone who works there and eats there. I attend the local college just down the street and live about 15 minutes away. All the food is very cheap. It's obviously not the best food in the world but it's not bad either. read more

I just paid over twenty dollars for the worst food and service I have ever had. If I had to describe this place in just one word it would be CHEAP. Everything about the place is CHEAP. You walk in and no one even greets you. They all stare at you but don't say a thing. Then you go to sit down at a table and surprise no one comes to greet you then either. You look around and all of the tables are dirty with crumbs and there is food all over the floor. They seriously walk past your table or look at you and continue on to the front counter. You wait over 15 minutes just to have a person acknowledge you. They run out of the thing they are specializing for lunch that day at 1pm! When you get your food, everything is fake and processed. I got grilled chicken which was a frozen chicken patty that wasn't even seasoned with mashed potatoes which were from a box and runny and turnip greens from a can. When the lady brought our food, the just plopped it on the table along with our ticket, didn't say anything and walked away. The condiments they use are left out all day and just passed from table to table (even salad dressings). How they passed inspection I will never know. We were not checked on the entire time we ate, but we did get to hear a lovely conversation in which two employees had complaining and cursing about how something wasn't done. Then, when we went to pay we stood at the counter for another 15 minutes as all of the workers ignored us and walked right past the counter. None of them even acknowledged any of the customers standing in line (there were at least 3 tables waiting to pay) They are TERRIBLE. If you are considering eating here, do yourself a favor and go to the hardees instead. Its cheaper, tastes better and you get better service read more
