    Chicken tips
    Eli J.

    I've eaten here for over 15 years, largely when it was located in North Wheeling. I've essentially always ordered the same thing, but have had most of the menu with others. I often stop by if I'm passing through town. Everything on the menu is not great, but if you get the right thing you'll have a great meal. The best thing on the menu is the stuffed shrimp. You'll be hard pressed to find a better order of stuffed shrimp anywhere else, certainly in the area and likely just about anywhere. Other apps including the fried zucchini and stuffed peppers also very solid. I always get the pastrami sandwich. Reliable, solid, well executed sandwich. French dip also a good pick. Chicken or beef tips, and open faced turkey/beef dinners also decent picks. Worth a stop if you're passing through. Get the shrimp and you're guaranteed to at least be happy with those.

    This is the BEST place around! We were referred here as we're moving to the area and they were not wrong! Two nights in a row and SABRINA + KIMBERLY were the most amazing and attentive bartenders! Our food was out of this world!! Wings, green beans, shrimp salad and YOU HAVE to try the BEEF tips! Drinks on point! The special lemon drop martini is to DROOL for! And-the customers are so friendly, kind and a great time all around! 5 stars x 10!!!!! Our new favorite spot!!!!! "Cheers!!" = just waiting for NORM! Ha ha

    My mom has been eating this place for years, back to when it was in its old location, but it was my first time visiting so I was eager to try. Unfortunately I found it to be mediocre at best. I will say that the fried zucchini was excellent, probably the best I've had, but the sandwich I had and the other items that my family ordered were pretty meh.

    My navigation suggested Uncle Pete's as a high probability match for me, so we gave it a shot. We were dining as a group of 2 adults and 2 teenagers and everyone of us was able to find something from the menu to order. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, though could have been a little quicker and attentive. The ambience was a definite surprise!

    This place is fantastic! The decor makes you feel like you were warped back in time into some castle. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. We started out with the hot pepper cheese balls and they were really good. The cheese inside literally just melted as you bite into it. You get your choice of dipping sauce with the appetizer. For my entree I ordered the open faced turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy. I was really pleased with my meal. The portion was huge and the taste was fabulous. We will definitely be back!

    Uncle Pete's is a good local place worth a visit, with some stellar food options and quality service. Visited this place with my friend's family recently for dinner. It's next to a physical rehab place, and apparently used to be located near the river before they had rent-related issues. While their new location doesn't have much of a view, it does have plenty of parking in a private lot, as well as a ton of room inside with plenty of tables. The interior is nicely furnished and dampens noise well, as evidence by its reasonable volume even during their peak weekend dinner period. I enjoyed the food, especially the cheesy bacon fries which were delicious. While nothing really stands out on the menu as a "must get", you're bound to find something you enjoy here. Nothing much to mention in terms of drinks, pretty standard offerings. While we had a brief wait for our table, it was to be expected given the local popularity of the place. Our server was attentive and made a number of callbacks throughout the evening. All things considered, Uncle Pete's is a good local option for families. I wouldn't go out of my way to return here again since there is nothing really "signature" about it, though it was certainly a positive experience. Overall: 4.0 stars ---------- Pros: - Good food options. - Great service. - Lots of seating and parking. Cons: - Location is less picturesque (pretty much no windows at all in the dining area) than its previous one. - Nothing really sets this place apart as unique. If I had to use one phrase to describe this place, it would be "reliably good".

    We ended up at Uncle Pete's before going to the Festival of Lights at Ogelbay. To be honest we picked Uncle Pete's because of an actual Uncle Pete, who is a likeable guy, the proximity to Ogelbay, the good rating, and the fact that there was no wait. The place looks like a plain white warehouse from the outside. The inside, however, is really nice. There is a great bar area and seating area all with finished/rustic wood. The food was all pretty good and pretty reasonable. All our meals were around $10. I had beef tips which I enjoyed. My wife's Steak Salad was said to be really good. My daughter ate a cheese steak and my son had some chicken strips. Make this part of your trip to Wheeling and do Ogelbay and Cabella's.

    We had gone here last year and loved it... not the case this time! When our party of 5 arrived,…read morethere were 2 or 3 others in the restaurant. The waitress started off by telling us all of the menu items that were not available - no chicken, no coquille, no onion soup, etc. 3 of us ordered steaks. Mine came with smashed potatoes and green beans and they were stone cold. The steak (filet) was nearly raw and was actually cold to touch. So was my daughter's. The waitress took our plates back and the whole plate was heated in a microwave. It was all tasteless and awful!!! My daughter's boyfriend had a New York strip steak that was ok and my daughter had crab cakes that were mediocre, but for a $500 meal, it was disgusting. - Two women came to the restaurant and the hostess was heard telling them that it would be a 40 minute wait because they were short of staff. There were actually more staff than there were customers. Before we left, we were the only ones there. It just seemed like they were anxious to close the restaurant. Extremely disappointing.

They not only have bar type food, they have great pizza and appetizers as well. They also have "real" food-good quality dinners like in a fine dining restaurant. It's not often that one restaurant is good at both. These guys are! Our server was outstanding! In keeping with the flexible and varied menu, I was in a hoodie and ball cap but felt completely comfortable even though the decor was leaning a little upscale. They cover a lot of territory and do it exceptionally well. Can't wait for another trip to Cabela's/Char House!

My dad's fish was so well done that it was black and he couldn't break it in half with his hands hardly, the worst ever. We couldn't understand HOW COULD the COOK send it out like that ??? So dad got to watch us all eat. When we were done, his came out. Nope, NEVER Again. We went out of our way to go there. So disappointed.

    Arancini on a menu always makes me sigh inwardly with joy. Rice balls are banging. I don't think…read moreWheeling is known for its food scene, but after visiting Elle & Jack's (also Elle&Jack's, no spaces, according to its website) and a couple of other restaurants in Wheeling, I'm starting to think people are sleeping on this West Virginia city. The food is really good at this little restaurant. Elle & Jack's leans toward Italian cuisine, but it gets a little funky with it by offering things like chimichurri salmon, a burger and steak frites. The menu is small, though, which is a relief. A pared down menu is my favorite kind of menu. Give me a small list of the things you make well, and I'll be happy. We got the arancini as an appetizer, of course. My kids had never had arancini before, and they loved them. But it's hard not to love a fried ball of rice covered in red sauce! I got the steak Caesar, because I do love a good Caesar salad. At this point in my life, I'm pretty much obligated to order the Caesar if it's on a menu. The girl can't help it. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium well), and the only thing I would change would be to make the croutons smaller. We also got a side of charred Brussel sprouts with bacon and dates. These were good but needed to be a little more charred! In my opinion, Brussels sprouts taste best when they're scorched. A side order is huge and meant to be shared. It could have easily been shared with three or four people. Elle & Jack's does not have an official kids' menu printed on a paper, but they have an unofficial kids' menu, which apparently lives in each server's head and can only be shared verbally. It's like five or six items. From what I remember -- because our server's words floated away from me like dandelion seeds in the wind as soon as he spoke them -- kids can choose from pasta with red sauce, buttered noodles, a grilled cheese and a cheeseburger. One of my kids got pasta with red sauce, and it was a perfect portion size for a child. My child liked it but said that the noodles were too chewy (they were probably cooked al dente). My other kid got a grilled cheese, and he liked it just fine. The kids' grilled cheese comes with fries. The scene here is slightly upscale but casual. I saw people who were dressed up and people who were not dressed up. I think it's definitely a come-as-you-are joint, but a place to visit when you want something a little more elevated.
