We discovered the Wheel House last year and we're glad to see it is even better this year. The menu has expanded. The shrimp salad is bigger. The Chocolate Peanut Butter pie is fantastic. As always the fish and chips are the best you could find any where. Even the dinning room is nicer with new tables and art work... more

Although the restaurant is small & not at all fancy, we found the staff to be very friendly & helpful, & the food was great! We had everything from hot dogs & sweet potatoe fries to the fish'n chips & gumbo. The bisque was so good that I asked for the recipe! I would highly recommend this restaurant; even over... more

Diner, not what we cconsider a restaurant. Order at counter, pre-pay, food brought to hard plastic table & bench in plastic baskets. Sits on main highway, traffic noise & no view at all.. Server/cashier was attentive, But could not make up for other shortfalls, especially the ordinary battered everything without flavor; hushpuppies made me gag. I'm astonished at the high... more

I can't believe the quality of the food here. The fish and chips were wonderful and the blueberry pie was outstanding. My wife had the key lime pie and declared it one of the best ever (and she makes them herself at home). My kids split some of the pastiso (greek lasagna) and they both loved it. We left with... more

I unfortunately didn't read the exterior sign when I chose to eat at this restaurant. It was rated high and I was looking forward to their fish and chips. The overwhelming smell of ethnic "Greek" food was bothersome and hindered my dining experience. Although the fish and chips were indeed good, the atmosphere was just strange. By the way, I... more

I've been coming to the Wheelhouse every summer since 2006 and it is never a disappointment. Not only is the food great, but it has a laid-back casual atmosphere that is wonderful. Plus the fact that it is locally-owned and usually the owners are the ones behind the counter or in the kitchen so you know that the service and... more

We ended up not even eating here due to the size. We saw the favorable reviews and want to try this, but did not stay due to the fact that the seating is just a few picnic tables. more

We ate at the Wheel House mostly because of the reviews on tripadvisor. The food was fresh and the fish and chips were very good, light, and not too fishy. It was cooked perfectly--enough to be cripsy on the outside without drying out the fish. I absolutely loved the homemade potato chips. The food was priced very fairly, and the... more

Our group of 9 visited this restaurant because of the great reviews on this site. I don't know if I didn't read the reviews carefully enough, but wasn't aware of how small this place is. We almost didn't find it because it is so small. We did manage to get a couple of tables pulled together so we could all... more

I was determined to go here on my trip to Gulf Shores because of the reviews I had read here, and was so glad I did. I was traveling with a large group and sometimes it's hard to get everyone to agree, but they all agreed that this place had the best food that we had eaten all week. Between... more
