“Bizarre experience: we showed up, the diner was half-empty, and we were told that if we did not have reservations there was an hour wait. When I asked if we could be put on a waitlist we were promptly seated in one of the empty booths. Our server came over to the table and said that we could order drinks, but implied that we could not order food until the reservations showed up... So we ordered our drinks, and the waiter informed us that the kitchen was rapidly running out of food options (but it was okay because they weren't anything that we were going to order.) One couple with reservations came in and was seated in the booth next to us. The place was still about half full, yet everyone coming in without reservations was turned away. Our waiter got the reserved table their drinks then asked what they wanted to order for food. After that, he came to our table and took our order. We got the jalepeno poppers, chicken and the fisherman's pie. Other than no other reservations ever showing up and the place remaining about half-empty the entire time we were there, the service was pretty standard and the food was excellent. I probably wouldn't go back because I'm from out of town and will probably never go to Wheeling again.“
