Are you tired of eating at Kriner, Reisner or the Ceddia Union Building for every meal during your time as a Shippensburg University student? Then walk over to the Wheelhouse Cafe for delicious and reasonably priced food.

Most items on the menu are $7 or less, so everything on the menu is very affordable for college students looking for a hot meal. The menu includes: Omelets, pancakes, waffles, burgers, salads, sandwiches, sides (fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken strips, onion rings, etc.) and wraps.

The Wheelhouse Cafe is located at 300 N. Earl St., which is an easy walk from campus (an approximately 10-minute walk from Old Main). If you find yourself with some time between classes or want something different for breakfast, walk over to the Wheelhouse Cafe.

The Wheelhouse Cafe is open from 5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays and from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends. The Wheelhouse Cafe caters its restaurant to serve customers during the breakfast and lunch rush, but breakfast can be ordered any time of the day.

“Come join us for our home-style cooking just like mom used to make” is the slogan of the restaurant.

A review from tripadvisor.com by user diva3713 reads: “I’ve been here a few times for both breakfast and lunch and I just can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s great to have them in Shippensburg. Every time I have been there the servers have been friendly and upbeat, quick to refill drinks (I have to have coffee!) and everything else. The food is good and hot — good portions and prices — it’s great to have a place like this in Shippensburg.”

Come to Wheelhouse Cafe not just for the reasonably priced food, but for the small family-owned diner environment. All of the employees are friendly and ready to cater to all of your dining needs. Break the norm of eating at the residential diners on campus and visit the Wheelhouse Cafe.
