This place is good. Always busy. They have great cocktails and beers on tap. The food isn't my favorite but lots of locals love it. I love the ambiance in both their Gastonia and Belmont locations! It's always a good time before or after a Gastonia Baseball game.

This is definitely the local hangout spot. I got the Cheech & Chong and their beer special was $1 off all North Carolina beers on Monday. Very laid-back place with great staff, who is very friendly and chatty. They definitely made you feel like one of the locals! I substituted the onion rings for french fries and they were homemade but definitely pretty breaded. The Cheech and Chong was delicious and way more food than I could finish myself. Tons of great flavor and a place I will definitely be stopping in again.

This was a fun laid back place. We chose it because it was near where we went hiking. It is a converted gas station. We stepped inside and were greeted right away and pleasantly. We choose to sit outside they have picnic tables that could use some updating. Drink and food order taken quickly. It was beautiful outside. They had a bar inside with TVs it is small but good place to get quick bite and watch the game. We ordered Chicago Reuben sandwich and Falafel sandwich with fries and sweet potato fries with sweet tea. The food was very good. We would go back. Our food was $32.91 our server Insley was great.

Went to PW in Gastonia for the 1st time. Had a burger with fries. OMG!! You will not find any burger that compares to it in Gaston or Meclenburg, especially at that price! It was huge, and the fries were perfect. I make a burger at home that friends swear by but I've got competition now! I'm going to try the Belmont location next because it's closer to us. Our waitress was equally awesome too. Super friendly, big smiles everywhere and checked on us numerous times. We left a healthy tip! They have big screen TVs with different sports and one comedy channel going, and the background music was very good rock. Nothing too loud we were able to talk at a normal volume. On the way out we offered to be in a commercial for them if they ever make one!

My favorite is the Rueben but today I ventured out for some nachos. They were good but the Rueben remains my #1. My friend ordered the Cheech & Chong, I t's always a good choice too. I can honestly say I've never had anything I didn't like. Oh and I mixed two beers today and it was delightful. There is a chalkboard with a mulititude of beers, ciders and sours, something for everyone and the mixed drinks are spot on as well, thanks to the amazing bar babes. You can't go wrong sitting at the bar. The service is always efficient. There is both indoor and outdoor space and your furries are welcome outside. Dog water bowls and water provided.

My family and I were in Gastonia for a tennis event for my daughters and we stopped in to the Pita Wheel for dinner. First of all the service was great. Adi was our waitress and she was very nice and helpful. I didn't get a picture of everyone's meals but everyone was very pleased. I had the Cheech and Chong Pita. It was delicious! I couldn't finish it all. Fries were excellent! My only regret is that I didn't get the onion rings. I saw another patron with onion rings and immediately had FOMO. I'll be back to try them another day. The place is very cute with a little rustic vibe. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is always a nice option depending on the weather. We sat inside because it was a bit warm outside. They opened the large garage door when we were there and it kind of connects the indoors with the outdoors but didn't make it incredibly hot inside. It was like the best of both worlds. We'll be back.

I've been eating at the Gastonia Pita Wheel frequently since it opened a few years ago. The food is consistent and the kitchen is very fast. It's a great business lunch spot for these reasons. It has a nice patio with shade sails and plenty of seating. My only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to (1) the 3% charge for using a debit/ credit card instead of paying cash, and (2) the menu hasn't changed much since it opened. Other than these two things, the place is epic, fast and fun!
