Incorporated in 1894, Wheeling was an overnight stop for travelers headed to the Wisconsin Territory via the overland trail, now known as Milwaukee Avenue (Illinois Route 21). The cozy string of inns, taverns and eateries established in the 1830's were the start of what is now Wheeling's renowned "Restaurant Row." Whatever cuisine you're craving, "Restaurant Row" is the place to chow down. Enjoy a variety of options from Bob Chinn's Crab House and Superdawg to Cooper's Hawk.
