Our family spent the day at Legoland and didn't want to eat dinner at the Legoland resort. We googled restaurants nearby and found Rustic Wheelhouse. It's less than a 10 minute drive from Legoland and we are so glad we found it. The restaurant is cozy and as the name suggests rustic. The service was friendly and attentive. I had the Tuscan Kale salad and loved it. The hazelnut added a nice crunch to the salad. We also ordered the crab cakes, although we were not a big fan of the sauce the crab cakes itself were cooked perfectly. My daughter loved her personal kids pizza and we also had the Neapolitan. If you like thin crust pizza, they make a good brick oven thin crust pizza. For dessert we got the brownie sundae & crème brûlée. The brownie & chocolate ganache was warm & went well with the vanilla ice cream. We would definitely come back again if we are in the area.

I totally forgot to review this place. I actually found it by using AI to plan a trip and it recommended I stop here for dinner. I really enjoyed the rustic interior. Food was good especially the pizza! Our waitress was super nice I definitely recommend trying this place,

Great food and very cute location. Would for sure come back again. Food came out super quick too. We ordered the bolognese, rustic steak, and chicken Alfredo for entrees. For appetizer we did the octopus, chicken wings, mozzarella sticks and two French onions. EVERYTHING so good.

Hidden gem! Family run restaurant vibes! The staff were attentive even though they were busy on Sunday night. There was also live music at around 7PM which was wonderful. The grilled octopus was the highlight; it was probably the best I've ever had!! Pasta and French onion soup were good. I don't think we'd get the pizza again. Overall, everything was amazing and we can't wait to go back! Pro tip- there's parking in the back!

Came here on a Sunday night. We were here with a group of 10. The Neapolitan pizza had a nice crust with the right amount of char from the wood-fired oven. The rigatoni Bolognese featured a rich, hearty sauce that clung beautifully to the pasta. The pasta had good al dente texture. The caprese salad was a refreshing complement, with nice tomatoes and creamy mozzarella. All the dishes were quite good and homemade.  Overall, we were surprised to find such a nice rustic homey Italian place -- as good as many traditional Italian places in NYC and Brooklyn. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff added to the overall experience.

First time here.looks like a nice place. Nice lunch menu. We had onion soup and we liked it a lot. I had the steak sandwich and cheddar cheese and fries and my girl had a white pizza. Food was very good. Service was great. They had a nice bar with lots of draft beer options. Plenty of parking in the back.

Where do I start? The fall decor outside captured my eye and I knew I was going to like this place. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who asked us where we would like to sit (I like that). She was a visitor to our table throughout the evening. The restaurant is SO cozy and what I loved the most was the service. So personal. Talked about the dishes, made recommendations on food and drink. Our server, Olena, mentioned she had only been working there a week, but was excellent! This is the kind of service I leave so many restaurants wishing they had. This is why we will be back. The owner makes an incredible martini. I can honestly say it was the best Gimlet I've ever had. Fresh lime and house made simple syrup. Don't get me started on the Espresso Martini (had to have 2) for dessert. I cannot wait to go back. The food speaks for itself, all home made. Just go.
