Uncle Pete's - Wheeling, West Virginia

Beautiful place! Clean bathrooms. Got the ribs, they were "off." Upset stomach for 2 days immediately after eating. Food came very quick. She got a Ruben, said it was fair. Appetizers were potato balls, which weren't bad. More fried than flavor. The cheese balls were okay. Out of a frozen bag though. Waitress, Desire, was GREAT!! Friendly, fast, and attentive. Great atmosphere. Would probably go back for drinks, but I won't eat again.

This was my second time in. We came on a Saturday so my expectations weren’t super high. It wasn’t packed, but it took about 35
minutes (conservatively) to get our food after ordering. The smoked wings appetizer was good and came out quick, but that was the only food my wife and I had in common that night and our stomachs were upset until the next morning. I had a Georgia Reuben and it was a 4/5. My wife had the steak salad. The steak tasted ok but overall it looked like a school lunch salad with steak strips. Our daughter ordered a grilled cheese and it was insanely oversaturated with butter to the point that she didn’t even want to eat it and she eats anything. The wait was absolutely abysmal and the servers seemed overworked. I know it’s a local “go to” but we won’t be returning.

Went during lunch hours during a week day. It was pretty busy. Like everywhere else, it was low staffed, but our waitress did a great job. Just took some time to place order and pay. Food came out fairly quickly.

Very nice atmosphere 👌! Spacious booths.

What looks like a metal warehouse on the outside is a large, warm, comfortable feeling restaurant. The outside and the inside are so diametrically opposed that it’s a little disorienting that it’s so nice inside, completely unexpected. The food tasted great, and was reasonably priced. The ribs and wings from the smoker are amazing.

What a hidden Gem!
Our waitress was fantastic, the food was fabulous.
Pictured is appetizers, chicken strips and deep fried mashed potatoes with onion. Which just has a hint of onion flavor. Both crunchy and yummy! Dinners pictured are stuffed fish (cod stuffed with crab meat), full rack of ribs which are better than Rudy's in Springfield, Ohio, great smoky flavor and just the right amount of sweet barbecue and Porterhouse sub with mushrooms. Also Fries with bacon and cheese. Everything was piping hot, fresh and delicious.
The atmosphere is relaxed and Quant with room for waiting, which we didn't and games for the kids to enjoy. The restrooms are spacious with 3 separate large stall rooms inside the facility.
Bar seating with plenty of room to eat and chat. The floor plan leaves ample space between tables so you aren't sitting on top of your neighbors. Great food and very nice atmosphere for date night, family gatherings or friends night out. Absolutely recommend this hidden gem!

The food is still fabulous and the service superb.
I don't usually mention restrooms but theirs are super clean and look like they should be in a magazine. Rich looking oak double sink in the main area and each "stall" is it's own room with individual sinks and 2 with chairs.

Wow wow wow...so a business partner told me about Uncle Pete's....where do I start! I am in love with the brick atmosphere, and expect to wait a little when you stop in on a Friday! I was told to definitely try the soup...Omg...Hearty and oh so good. The corn chowder...Bomb! Lobster 🦞 bisque...yummy! My dinner was the tuna steak medium rare with the bloody Mary sauce and it was so delicious. Definitely stop in and see this local spot! Totally and completely worth the wait!

This is a quaint placed that is enjoyed by the locals. But the food is mediocre at best. To his was the second time in 3 months, it didn't get better. I thought it was just not a good day, or not as best choice for the menu.

On the first visit, the waitress was helpful. We asked about a couple soup choices, Lobster bisque or Stuffed pepper. Shf said a lot of people order the LB but she said the SP soup was better. And she was right. Our group ended up ordering one of each, the LB was gross.

Second visit, I thought stick with simple, thf lunch special was chili dog and fries. It wasn't horrible. But the chili was cheap canned flavor. The fries were Ok.

Both trips , our guest ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich, described as a spaghetti sandwich. The chicken is scant and lacks flavor. If you want spaghetti, & bread just order spaghetti and garlic bread.

I don't know how they're still in business but I guess it's a local taste.
Don't say you weren't warned.

Four of us visited this restaurant. Two of us got liver and onions, one gut honey glazed chicken, and the other got a fish dinner. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. The liver and onions were cooked perfect. Allie was our waitress and she was awesome. Very polite, friendly, and made you feel very comfortable. Everything was also reasonably priced. We will return.
