The Wheelhouse - Dunsmuir, California

This place is a gem! I’m so happy we happened to camp nearby and stop in for breakfast. We had the breakfast burrito and French toast - both were delicious! And the coffee is perfectly roasted and brewed. The whole experience was amazing! We loved the decor and all the plants. Jazz music and friendly staff made us feel very welcomed.

We came here for breakfast which is pictured and for sandwiches the day before which were so good! Overall the service is amazing and the food is great. Loved the coffee as well picture is a caramel mocciato. Great to support a smaller business in the area that’s a little out of the town. Inside is so fun and they have board games you can play while you eat.

Such a great vibe here! The food was amazing, came out quickly, and the atmosphere is so inviting we stayed and played Catan. The staff was so genuine and made us feel so welcomed. They told us to make ourselves at home and we really did feel at home.

The locals were so friendly and recommended some dishes to us. The concept is so fun too, you can rent games to play at your table. They also have a free to play shelf! We are obsessed and can't wait to come back

First off this little town is a hidden gem. While it really appears to be struggling to survive, boy does it have some fun/great/unique not to miss spots. The Wheelhouse is one of the not to miss spots in this area. Great service, eclectic fun place, great beers(at least the stout (the “bomb”)was) and we had breakfast selections that were very good (great scrambled eggs) and the mushroom appetizer was terrific.

Stumbled upon this gem located in a small town. From the outside you can tell the place is quirky in a good way. When you walk in you immediately feel the good vibes - love all the plants and the calming feel. Great place to settle down after a hike at the local state park.

Got there around 2:30 and was pleased they still had some breakfast options. Ordered a dirty chai, the roundhouse breakfast plate, fried mushrooms and a finished with a desert of the local cider.

Dirty Chai - spot on and was delicious! 5/5
Roundhouse - pancakes were good and came of butter and syrup, bacon was crispy and scrambled eggs were fresh! 5/5
Fried Mushrooms: nice and crispy exterior with full mushrooms, came with a choice of sauces and waiter eagerly gave two choices. Perfectly cooked 5/5
Cider - believe it was cherry cider from over from Eureka, winter gave the whole backstory and sounded quite lovely but did mentioned the quality had slipped a bit from the supplier. Overall it was alright, but wouldn’t order again 3/5.

Staff was engaged, knowledgeable and served to go waters for the hot day (was over 100 outside where we left). Great touch!

I didn’t get a photo of it, but the adjacent room had quite the beer selection and also full of board games.

Overall great experience and venture off Main Street! I could definitely see myself coming bad over and over again if I lived closer. Great local gem!

This place is… otherworldly. We walked in and heard the sounds of a river- we looked down and heard we were standing above one (literally). You could also SEE the river through the floor in another part of the room. We were greeted by the most friendly staff, insisting that we have a fun time. He got us started with a super fun board game after we placed our order for food and coffee. The place is filled with hundreds of games, and lively plants. The food was just ok, but the iced coffee and ambiance was amazinggggg.

Hidden gem found while doing a pit stop for gas. Tried the Humboldt Cherry cider on tap, loved it. The food is pretty good, good sized portions. Check this out if u are in the neighborhood.

What an outstanding business! We were driving through and needed a place for some food, coffee, and internet for me to get some work done. This place has the kindest staff, a great chill and comforting atmosphere, and really tasty coffee and food. I was able to charge my laptop and get work done in total comfort, and my husband got a great sandwich. Will definitely return next time we're in the area.
