First time here since it became the Steel Wheel Tavern… so glad we tried it. The calamari was melt-in-the-mouth and honestly better than many ‘fine dining’ restaurants. I took a chance with the crab cake and was very impressed… lots of crab. The Waygu burger...Read More

It’s very nice to grab an outdoor seat and enjoy good selections of beer with great burgers here on a less crowded day. I rarely find places that make great fries. But I’d always come for the fries and burgers here! Especially the potatoes they use...Read More

I enjoy this place (and town vibe) enough that I sometimes take the train a couple of stops away from Ramsey to visit. Not my usual spot, but over the last year it is quickly becoming only because I love a low key Sunday Funday....Read More

I absolutely love this restaurant! The atmosphere is great, the live music on Friday's is wonderful (not too loud and appropriate for the atmosphere). It is a wonderful addition to Ridgewood.

Had another great meal at the wheel. Got the Caesar salad and bone in rib eye. Both came out quickly and steak was cooked perfectly. It’s one of our favorite restaurants anywhere in Bergen County.

We ate a pleasant lunch here. The short rib grilled cheese was tasty. The outside patio had a live performer playing which was fun (Sunday afternoon).

Good service, food, and accomodations. They have fire pit tables out front that are appropriately spaced out from each other. A lot of restaurants in the area do not have this sort of safe setup with that much spacing. It's really the main reason we...Read More
