Service was a 10/10, the ladies working here are awesome. They were so accommodating and on top of anything we needed. The burger was one of the best I've had! The cheesy garlic fries are great too. Their homemade fries are tastier than other homemade fries I've had by far. I can't believe I've been driving by this place for years and never stopped, but I'm so glad I did! I highly recommend checking it out.

One of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants I’ve been to in a while. The staff is very warm and welcoming, the place is low key but interesting. God, that burger!!! 😂 And their biscuit beer is amazing! Definitely adding it to my favorites to go back to as I travel back up the coast. The wings are pretty spicy, fyi, but very delicious. Get ranch to tone down the heat.

Just passing through. Wow, were we glad we found this wonderful pub and grill! Close to the airport and very busy on a Saturday evening! The staff, Scotty and Melissa, were very welcoming, attentive, and friendly. I have eaten burgers all over the world, but theirs is the best burger I have ever eaten! My grandson's fried chicken sandwich was also excellent! A large selection of draft, cans, and bottles of beer. I enjoyed the local wheat ale while my grandson tried a couple of others. The place is small but inviting and is a local favorite. You can't go wrong and will enjoy the locals as well!

I had a great time at Papa Wheelies! The food was delicious—especially the wings with Andrea’s famous sauce and the drinks were spot on. The staff was super friendly, especially Melissa and they made us feel right at home. The vibe is cozy but lively, perfect for a night out or just grabbing a bite. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

Local dives like this are few & far between, making them all the more precious ♥️; and Ashley & Scott do everything they can to make folks feel welcome.

Inside = limited bar seating + a large round table that can fit 5 comfortably, 6 if you really like each other & are willing to (literally) rub elbows. When we arrived, a party of 2 sitting at the table immediately invited us to share the space, which we did.

Lots more outdoor seating — unsure if the space heater works or not (didn’t try it out).

Given the size of the kitchen & staff, the menu is limited too but enough mix & match to satisfy most stomachs. We had the soup of the day, salads (impressive in size & ingredients 👍🏼) & a grilled sandwich. Not a drop or crumb remained when we were done!

Ginormous can & bottle drink selection + more on tap. I was muy happy to see the locally renowned Blurberry; my companions tried the mocktail elixir.

I can see becoming a regular here…😎

Absolutely knocked it out of the park! Burger is top tier, the attention to detail is evident! Fries are crispy to the last one. Decor is wild and the play list was awesome. I'm definitely going back soon. You will not have a bad time here!!!
