| - First, the good. Spoke & Wheel offers deals for those who ride their bike to the restaurant. This is a fun way to get there and you get some exercise to and from the restaurant. I'd love if more places did this kind of thing.
As much as I want to like Spoke & Wheel it's honestly nothing special. For an appetizer, Chips and Guacamole were okay, the chips are thin flimsy plain Tostito's type chips with your run of the mill guacamole.
I got mushroom burger, which was the only veggie burger on the menu. It was fine but the sweet potato fries I ordered with it were sparse and average. I don't get why some restaurants serve ketchup with sweet potato fries, like.. come on. They don't go together. It's the small things like the chips you get with guac, the fries you get with a burger, the bun of your burger that can make a place seem like they care about their product, and that is where this place lacks.
Although there are a lot of televisions in the dining area, they aren't positioned well to be easy to watch. The booths lining the wall are a half circle shape, with televisions on the wall above the table. So really the only people who can see the closest tv are the people on the ends of the booths. It is seat yourself, so if you decide to go, just make sure to pick a table or a seat that you can easily watch tv from, because many spots are the equivalent to obstructed view seats in a stadium.
If you're going to this place on bike to get a couple beers and drunk food, yeah that would be an okay idea. If you're going to this place with hopes of enjoying a quality meal or trying to impress a date, I'd pass.
