“ I wanted some fried fish but did not feel like cooking, and decided to try Take The Wheel. Everything we ordered was good!!! It is so hard to find a salad that is fresh, but this restaurant did not disappoint! Food is cooked once ordered, so have patience! The dine-in area could use some aesthetic improvements but other than that, I’ll definitely be back soon! ”
“ Came for a salad but they were sold out . Ended up getting a pork chop sandwich and the double cheese burger. Everything is made fresh. Great prices and huge portions. Seasoned perfectly. Hopefully we can get a salad the next time we visit Houston ”

“ Here's a more humanized version of your review: --- As soon as I walked in, the owner gave me a warm welcome. I mentioned how much I enjoy supporting local spots, and he was really friendly—he answered all my questions and even shared his personal favorite. I ended up trying the fried red fin and okra, and it was delicious. There was a tasty dipping sauce that really hit the spot. The portion was generous, and overall, it was really good! --- Let me know if you'd like to tweak anything further! ”
“ Bacon cheeseburgers, on point. Grilled catfish and fried shrimp, on point. Good ass food. Even the fries or sauteed veggies seasoning is amazing. Reasonable prices for how good the food taste, this is a great local spot ”
