“This is one of my FAVORITE places to dine in Chicago! The food is incredible and cocktails are unique and delicious. The burgers are unlike any other and my branzino last night was SO delicious. There is also a market/bodega area that has adorable gifts, snacks and booze. This place is a MUST”
“Love this place. The beer list is outstanding. The service is amazing and the Dirty Martini Salad is perfection! I can’t wait to go back! The white bean hummus was divine. Came with watermelon radish which I’d never tried before. Delicious!”
“Good food and drinks. Service needs improvement. We even too pic of Venus and Jupiter”
“More than just a pretty location on the 606. Everything we ordered was delicious especially the Caesar salad which we ate so fast I forgot to take a picture of. The sides are all unique and the ones we tried were all good. If you’re on the trail it’s a great option to stop in to”
“We came by on a Tuesday night for dinner. We had a reservation but didn’t know where to go when we arrived. It looks like there are three areas- first floor store, bar, and second floor restaurant. The “restaurant upstairs” sign we saw on our way out definitely wasn’t visible on our way in. Once we found our way up, we were seated right away. The beer, wine, and whiskey selection was impressive. The dinner menu had a variety of different options that all looked amazing. You can detect the care in the combinations just from reading them, and I found myself planning future visits assuming that they’d deliver (and deliver they did). We had a crab cake appetizer that I was surprised to keep going back for. I’m not generally a big fan of crab cakes, but it was just so perfect to the bite. Texture, flavor, balance, “this is definitely a crab cake but there’s something different about it!” I had the poached salmon. Perfectly cooked. The creamy sauce was an interesting mix-up and I love when a salmon filet comes with crispy skin. The arugula was a solid complement, everything on the plate belonged and worked together. If I had this again, I’d probably pick a wine for it but the beer pairing was pretty good too. The half-chicken was also perfectly cooked. It was tender, flavorful, and well-paired with the peppers and potatoes. I’ll probably try some steak next time, they seem to be passionate about their dry-aged options. I’ll definitely be back. Learning that the actual table we reserved was upstairs was just a bit confusing, but this place is a gem and I can’t wait to tell my other foodie friends.”
“My boyfriend and I tried Wolf & Company last night for dinner and it was amazing! We decided to give the restaurant a visit because we love their sister restaurant, Little Bad Wolf. The atmosphere, service, and food were great! I even think the Wolf & Company burger is better than the Little Bad Wolf burger.”
“Great time here!! Jason the bartender was great and was super knowledgeable about the menu and drinks! Great atmosphere for a cocktail and light bite, will definitely be back!!!”
“First time at Wolf and Co. will definitely be back. Ate at the bar, where Maggie took great care of us. Excellent cocktails:Seeing Stars and Wolfs Prayer. Excellent crab cake. The double burger was melt in your mouth savory perfection. Finished with the Bucktown pizza which was amazing, thanks to Emi in the kitchen. All around GREAT evening! Highly recommend. It’s right on the 606.”
“Had dinner at Wolf and Company last night and honestly? Cute vibe, cozy décor, 10/10 ambiance. Food rundown: the buffalo wings were… buffalo wings. Nothing wrong with them, nothing to write home about. The crab cake though? Listen — that was real crab and real flavor. Absolutely delicious, and the sauce it came with understood the assignment. Now the lemon drop martini? Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. So good I ordered a second without hesitation. No regrets. I also had a sausage and red onion pizza (name forgotten, taste remembered) and it slapped — the sausage had a nice spicy kick. I ordered the trio of burgers and added the beef marmalade (extra charge, worth every penny). The burgers were good, and the fries didn’t miss either. Shoutout to my server, Pagan — super attentive, super sweet, even complimented my outfit. Service was on point and she was tipped accordingly. Overall: good experience, great vibes, and I would 100% go back specifically for the lemon drop and that crab cake. Those were the stars of the night.”
“Food is just ok, service makes up for it. Better for just drinks in my opinion”
“Would’ve been a better experience overall if the staff had better communication amongst themselves. It was so strange, we ordered 2 subs from the downstairs deli (Coop de Grace and an Italian, both on focaccia and delicious!) but the employee in the deli said for us to sit where ever and he would bring us our subs. So we went upstairs and got sat down by the host (we told her we ordered subs downstairs and she sat us in a booth) only to be greeted by another server who instructed we couldn’t sit at his table (mind you, it’s the same restaurant/establishment/menu upstairs and down and we tipped our server downstairs) … I’ve worked in service industry and understand table sections so while we were still waiting for our food, we got up without issue and looked for other seating outside. Found some seats the counter bar top and continued waiting. Another server came up and she was cool when we explained the situation and agreed it does not make sense the way the seating works and didn’t mind if we sat in her section to enjoy our sandwiches that we purchased THERE. Mind you, at the deli there is no where that says “to go only” or anything of the sort. … the guy downstairs never did deliver the subs despite confirming twice that he would so my bf had to go down and get them. Ok, no big deal. But then the same host walked by and said “the manager can’t see you from here so you can sit here” … girl what, I’m so confused! We’re not trying to pull a fast one here. We ordered and paid for food and service from this establishment and did NOT get our food to go, why is this situation so uncomfortable and disorganized? Long story short, the place is in a great location, food is yummy and the market is fresh but the system is very wack and the staff made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.”
“The ambiance here is incredible, and the concept is really neat—the attached market for snacks and the butcher deli section with all the steaks and cheeses make it a unique spot. That said, the meal itself was a 3/5. Service was a little slow, and the signature burger was just overwhelming. Three patties plus another layer of ground meat on top was way too many ingredients and the texture was weird. The spicy aioli was a miss, though the ranch was great. The calamari was also disappointing—not fully deep-fried, soggy, and quite oily from being mixed with giardiniera peppers. Worth dropping by for the vibe and the market, but the kitchen has some kinks to work out”
