We were traveling North to Montgomery, and glad I found this gem. Downtown Opp, where everyone is friendly. Menu has a large variety to meet everyone’s needs. Food and service were great, and I’m looking forward to my next visit. Banana pudding dessert is yummy

Tried 2 dishes:
– NOLA SHRIMP & GRITS – $25
Blackened Wild American Shrimp/Smoked
Gouda Grits/ New Orleans BBQ
Sauce
– FRIED GREEN TOMATOES – $13
Wicked Pimento Cheese/Bacon Jam
The Nola shrimp and grits popped with different flavors. After squeezing the fresh lime on to the center of dish to blend with the onions and tomotoes it was pure delight. The shrimp required no additional sauce because it would interfere with grilled spices that were already present. I particularly liked the creamy texture that the Gouda added to the grits. My spouse would have preferred more fresh ingredients, but it would not be a deal breaker for me. I would gladly order this again. It was filling and hit the spot after a long day.
The fried green tomatoes were a suprising new take on traditional southern comfort appetizer. Wheel House strives to offer modern southern dishes. With that in mind, I have a few observations, the skewer stick holds the multiple layers together and it’s beautiful for presentation, however, it is then left to the imagination has to how to consume it. I attempted to cut it into smaller pieces and I was unable to keep the layers intact. The sauce on the top does not extend to the lower layers, so to remedy this, I sought out combinations of the pimento and fried tomato to dip in the sauce. Then I thought perhaps you were supposed to cut it all up and then mix it with the arugula. I humbly recommend considering making smaller bite-size versions of the dish. This would maintain the integrity of the stacked flavor profile and help customers like me navigate the modern twist. This is the reason for 4 instead if 5 stars.
As a traveler passing through, the staff was very kind and the ambience was welcoming during my first visit to Wheel House. I saw the strings of lights on the patio and look foward to sitting there next time and trying other dishes on their menu. My compliments to whomever created the menu names for the dishes because they were extremely creative amongst all the menus I have ever read and filled me with joy.

Just tried a pepperoni pizza for the first time from the Wheelhouse, and I must say the quality of ingredients and flavor beats any pizza I’ve had in Alabama. What is normally a quick, basic bite to eat anywhere else ended up being a meal that surpassed all expectations. Keep up the great work Chef!

Stopped in for lunch after reading previous reviews. Glad we did what a gem of a restaurant. Service was fast and friendly, atmosphere was quite and cozy. Decorated tastefully for the holidays. We had the “Fish&Chips” it was super delicious fried to perfection served with some of the best hushpupies I’ve ever tasted. Definitely recommend this place!

We went there on a Thursday evening and only a couple tables were occupied so there was no wait. Our waitress was very pleasant. The restaurant had a homey feeling. We loved tge tree and the veterans table. My husband order Alfredo with shrimp which really was a pasta did with lots of creamy cheese sauce. The shrimp was tasty. He would never order this again unless he was in the mood for Mac and cheese for $21. I ordered the smoked wings. They were really good with the smoked flavor once I got passed the burnt sides. A little to burnt for me.

**Restaurant Review: The Wheelhouse Restaurant, Alabama**
During our recent visit to The Wheelhouse Restaurant in Alabama, we had an overall enjoyable experience, though there were a few aspects of the meal that fell short of expectations.
Starting with the French onion soup, it was a comforting dish, but there was a surprising twist: it was made with oregano instead of thyme. While oregano is a flavorful herb, it didn’t quite provide the classic taste profile that makes French onion soup so beloved. It was a unique take, but we found ourselves missing the familiar warmth of thyme. They, as many others choose the topping of Swiss, instead of Gruyère. Another disappointment.
The clam chowder had good flavor, but there was a slight issue with the cream. It seemed like it hadn’t fully cooked or blended, which affected the texture. While it was still enjoyable, this detail kept it from being truly memorable.
On a brighter note, the smoked wings were a highlight. They were packed with flavor, perfectly smoky, and had just the right amount of spice. They’re definitely a must-try if you visit.
The Pimento cheese Fried Green Tomatoes were unfortunately a mess. The dish felt disjointed, with flavors that didn’t quite come together, making it a bit of a disappointment.
Finally, the Birria tacos were lacking in seasoning, which was surprising. Tacos usually burst with bold flavors, but these seemed to be missing some key ingredients that would have made them stand out.
Overall, The Wheelhouse Restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere and some enjoyable dishes, particularly the smoked wings. However, a few missteps in seasoning and preparation kept the experience from being exceptional. With a bit of fine-tuning, this place has the potential to be a go-to spot for a delicious meal in the Covington county area of Alabama.
P.S. the GM / bartender was extremely nice & helpful to answer any questions we had about the menu, food, and area.

Someone should tell the owners that corn chowder is not crab bisque. Server was very slow, but friendly atmosphere was great. We only had appetizers. The brussels sprouts were good.

The food is remarkable! I love dining here!
So today, 08/02/22, I visited one of my favorite restaurants. My past review of the Wheelhouse restaurant was a testament to my experiences dining in. But today I called in my order. Upon getting to my office, which is 3 minutes away, and opening my meal, I was shocked to see that 5 pieces of thinely sliced grilled squash/zucchini cost me $4! The picture isn’t lying! I have not eaten any of the food prior to taking the picture! The fried calamari was very salty, soggy with grease, and cold! Making it inedible! $18.70 spent on a meal and I can only consume the 5 vegetable slices! This is the absolute worst meal I’ve ever had here. I don’t know what the problem may have been, but I pray they work it out because I love this place and I love supporting local non-chain restaurants.

Good food, great menu, nice atmosphere, cold beer on draft, excellent service. Maybe my expectations were a bit low for Opp, but this place did not disappoint. Wheelhouse was on par with something you’d find in downtown Birmingham, Chattanooga or Knoxville. The price was fair for the experience. The only thing missing for a Friday night was live music. Tell your friends and family. Opp is lucky to have a gem like this. I hope they stick around.
