Wagon Wheel Restaurant Carmel Reviews
Wagon Wheel Coffee Shop is a cozy gem tucked away on Carmel Valley Road. This spot is perfect for a relaxed breakfast or brunch, especially during the Thanksgiving holiday season. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it an ideal place to unwind. The menu features some standout items that are a must-try. The oatmeal is simply awesome—comforting and flavorful. The pancakes are deliciously fluffy, and the waffles are equally satisfying, with a crisp exterior and soft interior. The portions are generous and the prices are quite reasonable, making it a great value for the quality. Another big plus is the ample parking available, which is a huge bonus in this area. Whether you're a local or visiting Carmel, this place is definitely worth adding to your list. Don't miss it during the holidays!
Great cash only spot to grab some breakfast. On another Google reviewers recommendation we shared their amazing pumpkin pie pancakes which are delicious. The wife and I also had their chicken fried steak and eggs which we both devoured promptly. Their potatoes are another stand out featured on their menu that I would have to recommend. Definitely try this place out if you get the chance.
I've been dining at the Wagon Wheel since 1976! Never disappoints! My 103 year old grandmother would pester me for the scrumptious French toast and their hollandaise sauce has no rival. It's always been a sanctuary for us locals. Bravo 👏 for almost 50 years of the best quality of food, service and valley vibes!
This place is a treasure! Comfort food, great service, and reasonable, for California, prices.
This place is great! Kid friendly, many different breakfast options, staff was super friendly and the food came out reasonably quick. I had the steak and eggs with potatoes and sourdough. We decided it was so good we went 2 days in a row. Would highly recommend 👌
Welcoming Atmosphere and Phenomenal Food ! We had a great experience here after being disappointed at other cafes and diners in the area. This place has charm and the servers are chill 👌
Great spot for breakfast! Very fresh food, loved the omelets, and must have the banana walnut pancakes. Delicious!
I've been coming here for years. They have the best breakfast anywhere. Very tradition--eggs, pancakes, etc. Service is always friendly and the food is always stellar.

The breakfast here was terrific. Pancakes, eggs and bacon were terrific. We heard the French toast and Italian sausage are great too. Only complaint is that the home fries were undercooked which is a bummer.
Old western style restaurant Ambiente. We had breakfast. Bacon and eggs, eggs Benedict with biscuits and gravy, French toast and pancakes. Everything was excellent. The walnut and banana oatmeal pancakes were exceptional. The best breakfast we had during our 3 weeks travel through California.
10/5 stars!!! Service was so friendly and quick, food came out hot and fast, and everything was delicious! Pancakes were sublime, bacon on the side was perfect, even the fresh berries were flavorful. Would definitely return here again and again!
The MOST INCREDIBLE oatmeal pancakes with real maples syrup! Best I’ve ever had. Fun Wild West atmosphere with snarky signs on the wall. Wish I could go here every day 😞
From the beginning of entry Daniel and his staff were very friendly and accommodating! They provided our family of (9) during busy time seating arrangements to keep us all together. Fast friendly service and pair it all with great food!!
This is our regular stop when visiting Carmel Valley. Love the loads of funky cowboy decor, the local vibe and warm service. Now to the food: consistently generous portions of down home breakfast dishes. We have worked our way through the menu on various visits and it’s all delicious. Nothing fancy but that’s why we go.
I’ve been coming here since I was kid and it’s still as good when Katy and Harry started it. The cinnamon raisin French toast is great and almost everything else on the menu shines.
I am from NC. This is the best place that makes me feel like I'm eating at home. The staff really care about you! I've eaten here twice in 4 days and have been pleased each time. 10/10 recommend. Payment is Venmo or cash. Love it!
This is the real deal. A western/ country cafe that is part of the Carmel Valley history (not a retro makeover). The plate size oatmeal walnut pancakes fill me up— something a little sweet but stays with you all morning. Eggs Benedict are done perfectly as well. Bring Cash. Get there before around 9 to beat the rush (or after 11)

What a find. Stopped in here with a wedding hangover. Found a chicken fried steak and eggs that reminded me of my grandma.

We ate breakfast here this morning. It has a old time western feel. We been here many times over the years and the food has always been really good! Our server Carol was excellent, and we had a fun time with her. We had an omelet with Jack cheese, Avocado and mushrooms. We also had the banana Pecan Buttermilk pancakes. Both were really good and the two pancakes were so big that I couldn't eat it all! One thing to note is that they only take cash or Venmo.
Under new ownership. The service is great. There were a few hiccups but the food is excellent. Particularly the oatmeal and pumpkin pancakes. It’s cash only or Venmo.
Very friendly place. Great wait staff. Super dog friendly. Cute casual decor. Food was a bit basic and coffee was where it slipped to 4 stars. But overall nice breakfast place.
