The Wheelhouse

Outside industrial, don't let that fool you. First quality local meats, well priced. Full bar, wine and beer selection includes local as well. It is at the entrance to the bicycle path to Urbana. If you want to work off the meal! Great photo ops with decor. Call a head if picking up a picnic for a hike at Kickapoo or if a large quantity "no cook for a week" or "large family" order to be sure they have quantity.

Very cool place, definitely worth coming through for a weekend brunch. Not a large selection, but all offerings tried at my table were quite yummy. Service was kind, the place was clean and had a good aesthetic. Prices were reasonable as well considering the location. Food came out a bit slow, but not bad enough to drop a star.

I've only been twice and will update if necessary, but the food here is delicious and the service is great. Both times my servers have been helpful and not over or underwhelming. The first time I just tried a salad and was blown aways by what they could do with a salad. Second time I tried a "Greek freak" burger and also thoroughly enjoyed the fresh ingredients and creativity of the sandwich. Would recommend to anyone who likes good local cuisine and a laid back environment.

My friends and I decided to check this place out for the first time in the spirit of Champaign restaurant week. We were so impressed with the quality of the food here. I had pan seared shrimp soufflé as appetizer, duck breast as entree and peanut butter tiramisu as dessert. Gotta tell you the duck breast was amazing. Half of my friends also ordered duck breast and all of them were very happy with it so I could say the food quality is very consistent. The tiramisu was okay but my husband’s bread pudding was to die for. the only downside was we had to wait a little long for the food. But perfection takes time and it was totally worth the wait. I will definitely come back for more duck breast and bread pudding!

We had a four course plus wine dinner (takeout) which was delicious. Minestrone soup and salad as starters. I had duck breast with sweet potatoes and spinach with wine soaked cherries and oyster mushrooms. Add a bottle of red wine. Top that off with creme brûlée, my favorite. Chef Ryan outdid himself, again. He and Abe are a team. And at a very reasonable price.
