The Wheelhouse

Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn’s vibrant Bushwick neighborhood, The Wheelhouse is a standout destination that masterfully blends the spirit of a sandwich shop, bar, caterer, and full-service restaurant into one inviting space. If you're craving bold, comforting flavors with a creative twist, this locally cherished eatery is sure to satisfy both your palate and your soul.

The Wheelhouse offers an array of gourmet sandwich combos that elevate classic comfort food with elevated ingredients and impeccable craftsmanship. The Impossible Burger Melt showcases a juicy, plant-based vegan patty paired with plum tomatoes, caramelized onions, and aged Vermont sharp cheddar, all nestled on perfectly pressed sourdough – a delight even for die-hard meat lovers. Not to be missed is their signature Cubano Sandwich, featuring slow-roasted mojo-marinated pork that delivers a smoky, tangy punch balanced by melty cheese and mustard, gliding smoothly between fresh bread.

For those who adore indulgence, the creamy Mac and Cheese appetizer offers a luscious introduction, while the Pressed Sourdough Reuben tantalizes with its rich combination of corned beef and tangy sauerkraut layered onto toasted sourdough. The menu embraces a clever variety of grilled cheese sandwiches—from classic Mozzarella & Cheddar with Bacon to adventurous options like Grilled Cheese with caramelized onions, jalapeño bites, mushrooms, and even an Impossible Meat version—each one a crispy, gooey marvel that’s hard to forget.

Complement your meal with their soups, such as the consistently praised Chicken Noodle Soup or Noah Scott’s favorite, tomato soup, which has captivated locals with its perfect balance of acidity and creaminess. The inclusion of light, fresh house salads with mandarins and crisp vegetables, as Apple Xenos highlights, adds a refreshing counterpoint to the heartier dishes.

Sweet enthusiasts will delight in The Wheelhouse’s dessert offerings like the zesty Key Lime Pie, rich Chocolate Layered Fudge Cake, silky Tiramisu, indulgent Tres Leches Cake, and the ever-comforting NY Cheesecake—each serving as a perfect finale to the diverse menu.

The drinks menu is thoughtfully curated, featuring a range of beers on tap and in bottles like the crisp Famosa Lager from Guatemala and the hoppy Five Boroughs Tiny Juicy IPA. Patrons can also unwind with house specialty cocktails such as the fragrant Rose Quartz Spirits, making The Wheelhouse a go-to spot for everything from casual lunches to lively evenings.

More than the food, The Wheelhouse emanates genuine warmth and family vibes, creating an atmosphere where friends gather to enjoy great food and company. Customers have praised the friendly, attentive service and the welcoming setting where they can sip beer and play dominos as they wait for their meals. The laid-back yet vibrant ambiance makes it ideal for solo diners, brunch meetups, and family outings alike.

With rave reviews calling out standout dishes like the Philly cheesesteak melt on sourdough, the exquisite buffalo wings (arguably the best in all of NYC), and thoughtfully crafted brunch plates featuring avocado toast and savory sides, The Wheelhouse is a Bushwick gem. Whether you're seeking indulgent grilled cheese, a comforting bowl of soup, or a perfectly paired drink, this restaurant delivers a richly satisfying experience that keeps customers coming back for more.

In sum, The Wheelhouse is more than just a sandwich shop—it’s a vibrant community hub tucked away on Wilson Ave, where bold flavors meet genuine hospitality. For anyone craving a delicious, thoughtfully prepared bite in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this Brooklyn spot is an unmissable destination.
