Wheeler Pharmacy

I’ve lived in Lexington for almost 17 years, but it didn’t take me long to find Wheeler’s. This place has been described as “Cheers without the beers,” and it’s true! There are many people you will encounter on any given day and instantly be able to identify them as regulars - maybe even LIFERS! When you walk through the doors all you see is pharmacy, but hidden against the far right wall is an old school diner and soda fountain, right there in the store! Lee (female) has been working at the fountain for almost 23 years and Ricky probably just as long. I love everything about this place; the friendliness, the allure of its uniqueness, the great prices for the portions, the milkshakes, and of course the FOOD! My go-to is breakfast, but I finally tried lunch for the first time, and the Buddy Burger and regular fries didn’t disappoint. My boyfriend inhaled the Stuart Burger and seasoned fries (more like potato wedges), too. Back to breakfast though, be sure to ask for your biscuits GRILLED - you won’t be sorry! The last time I was at Wheeler’s coincided with a tragic event in our family three years ago, and yesterday was my first trip back since. As I reminisced Lee was so sweet and gave me the biggest hug. She made my weekend.

I can’t begin to say enough kind things about Lynne at the pharmacy and her team! She worked so hard at getting my dad’s medicines correct and delivered to his assisted living facility. She was such a gift to our family at a hectic time! Their delivery service is amazing and so worth it for caregivers!

This is my favorite place to go for breakfast. It’s easy to get to and the employees are just super nice! If you ever want a delicious milkshake ask Ricky for a Chocolate Peanut butter milkshake.

Most wonderful lunch counter! Best burgers and fries I've had in decades. Reminds me of burgers from my childhood. First on my list to visit when the pandemic is over and I feel safe eating out.

Love love love Wheelers! Customer service is amazing, and the food from the fountain can’t be beat!

I started using Wheeler pharmacy a couple of weeks ago for a certain prescription that is hard to get filled anywhere else. Everyone was a delight to work with and went out of their way to help me out. I stopped in on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and as soon as I walked inside, I felt as if I had stepped back in time to my childhood years. The look, the smell, everything was like I remembered my hometown pharmacy being. It was incredible. After picking up my prescription, I walked by the dining area and stopped for a minute (it had already closed for the day). I stood there and stared, full of emotion, thinking I was 10 years old again, without a care in the world. Some places have to grow on you before you feel like leaving a glowing review, but Wheeler had me as soon as I walked through the front door. Thanks to everyone! :)

As I get older, I realize more and more how the small, unassuming places are the best surprises. When my wife suggested that we go have lunch at a pharmacy on Romany rd, I was confused but am always open to trying new places.
The place isnt beautiful. Its somewhere between a dollar general and CVS, but the food. Wheelers is a great example of sticking to what you're good at and it shows in the simple menu consisting of what youd find at a Waffle House or Frisch's. The difference is the quality.
The burger is basically perfect. Griddled buns, juicy patties, whatever you want on top. The omelet was also cooked very nicely. Seasoned fries were also crispy and fresh.
The staff were friendly, hometown people that made you feel like a regular even though it was our first time.
Thanks Wheelers, it was a great experience.

I've been going here for 13 plus years and I can honestly say they have one of the best bacon cheese burger / chocolate milkshake combos east of the Mississippi. Tell Brenda at the diner I sent you.

Excellent customer service. There’s not another pharmacy that I trust with my prescriptions!

I am a local physician with several interactions with this pharmacy, particularly the compounding pharmacists. I was moved to write this review because of a recent experience with the compounding pharmacist, who spent hours (and I am not exaggerating - I mean HOURS) looking up medical literature, calling out of state pharmacies, returning phone calls promptly to me AND the patient, in order to make a custom preparation for an unusual problem. Recommended highly and without reservation.

The best coffee in a hundred miles, it's not the coffee it's the tradition.

Ready in Peace to Coach Hall. I know he enjoyed this place and thank you all for taking care of him 💙

I wanted to say thank you to the pharmacy for helping us get all of the prescription needs and check out the lunch there it is a great old school appt that is worth the wait. Thank you guys!

Most people dont even know that theres an amazing diner in the back. One of my favorote quiet breakfast destinations.

Staff is so kind

Great service. Pharmacist went above and beyond to get my issues with a medication figured out when Walmart and Krogers wouldnt even take a look. Highly recommend.

I needed to have something delivered to my daughter at UK and Wheelers pharmacy was great to work with. Highly recommend.

Food is amazing and reasonable, it’s like eating in a time machine
