Food is decent, nothing to go crazy about. Good vibes. Lost a few points at the end of our visit when we asked for to-go cup and the guy never came back, we just left. Our main waiter was great though.

I love this place (and town vibe) so much I 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. I know I can pop in here on a Sunday and get a good acoustic guitar guy, cold glass of beer or wine, and a simple plate to nosh on. I gave a low score for food tonight because I ordered the $19+ lobster, crab, avocado app and the lobster was terrible. Not bad, not meh… terrible. It appeared to be maybe 3oz size chilled lobster tail, all you really need in this dish, but it was drier than I ever expected it would be (the edges were hard, dark and chewy), water logged, and tasteless. I had to pick the menu back up to see what kind of sauce I could get to make it edible and ended up with ponzu (no cocktail). That shouldn’t happen and I was disappoinOK. I spent that much for a scoop of lump crab meat, half an avocado, and quarter cup sliced cherry tomatoes. Ouch If it weren’t for that experience, I would order the dish every visit. In theory it’s the perfect small meal, especially for a hot day like today – light with decent flavors. It would have been the ultimate dish had the lobster tail not been dried out/freezer burned, or cooked and dried out from sitting in the cooler/fridge too long. I didn’t send it back because there wasn’t anything else I wanted and I the rest of the dish was ok. Please please please…. I hope this can be corrected. ❤️ Other than that, I’m a happy camper each time I go to Steel Wheel. I/we have the same bartender, she’s a doll and I need to get her name. It’s an easy place to sit and relax alone. Not to mention the convenience to the train across the street… PERFECT! I’ll be back, but sadly probably won’t order the same dish. I’ll stick with a cold beer or wine. Thank you for being my go-to though in this little town.

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).

2 weeks ago on a Friday evening we enjoyed a very good meal at Steel Wheel. The food was well prepared and very tasty! There was a small bump with the service but the floor manager-a blond lady- handle it with ease and great efficiency. This made our experience all the more enjoyable. Kudos to her she deserves a huge hand clap!!

It’s very nice to grab an outdoor seat and enjoy good selections of beer with great burgers here on a less crowded day.

Drinks were excellent. I had the old fashion and my wife had a margarita. Both had strong pour.

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.

Good choice for dinner with young kids. The fries are really good. Decent burger, which you can customize with their toppings. My only complaint was that my burger was well done when I asked for medium. Also appreciate that they have a baby changer in the restroom. Pay with cash to avoid the almost 4% fee.

Went for a girl friends birthday brunch . Had salmon avocado toast and bean burger / chocolate mouse . Everything was delicious. The place has good energy . Servers are polite .. parking in ridgewood always sucks but that’s not the restaurant’s fault. I go there often and will go back soon .

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 was very flavorful except it would have been better with one thick patty rather than 2 thin ones because the outside was a little dry. The sweet potato fries were unsurpassed. Service was amazing, our waiter John was extremely pleasant and attentive and made our evening a memorable one!
