  in response to brian zimmermans review: the place may have that quintessential diner atmosphere but that doesn't excuse the fact that the food is bland. "catering to working-class locals" isn't an excuse not to season your food. while you're off daydreaming about boinking the singing waitress the rest of us have been served an overpriced unseasoned mess.

  If you're looking for a good greasy spoon and a great grill, this is the place. No frills good food, fast service, fun staff. Don't take yourself too seriously. And get the banana pancakes!!

  The Wheelhouse is a diner, not a restaurant flaunting itself in diner style. It caters to the working-class locals, for example by staying open through the late shift on weekends. Waitresses and bartenders, construction workers, nurses, cops and fire fighters - they all crowd the place and fill it with their banter, and their tired or meditative silence. They read the local papers over their steaming eggs and sausage. The cooks and waitresses serve up standard American fare at breakneck speed. They are friendly but no-nonsense. A couple of the waitresses regularly sing along, not unpleasantly, with the radio, which they play loud - usually classic rock or nineties alternative from the Emerson College station. The place is clean and utilitarian, the food cheap and fresh and traditional. If this is what you like in a diner, you won't find a better example. Quintessential.
