“The Wolf Burger is one the best city and cobb salad could feed and army. Great place to hang out.”
“Great food. Hot and Fresh. Friendly waiter. Was worried about seating for date privacy but it was not a problem since no one else came to where were seated. Will definitely be back.”
“Refreshed for 2026...I'm just going to say it, this ranks as one of Chicago's best burgers. Artfully and neatly presented, this burger delivers. Bun holds up nicely, and this is one juicy burger. Couple that with some great service, excellent fries and a crazy diverse beer list and it's A+. Also the baos are very good chicken and pork especially). Do I want people to invade this neighborhood gem? no. So Google let's just keep this between us.”
“Always an amazing time there! Ruben our bartender took great care of us and was super friendly! As a bartender myself he did an amazing job behind the bar! Give that man a raise! Will be back very soon! Also the burger made me take the best nap of my life 🍔🍔”
“Went here after a long time of me procrastinating about going. It was worth it service was amazing food was delicious the mocktails are great. Got the bad wolf burger and it was amazing, the charcuterie board was delicious with different items on it. Only bad thing i will say is the fries are too small/thin felt like i was eating the bottom of the fry bin with it being almost all crumbs. Will go back though”
“We went here for my brother’s birthday since we have heard a lot of good things! To start off, we surprisingly got seated right away despite it being lunchtime on a Saturday. Our waiter was phenomenal- she was so sweet and helpful! We started off with the muscles and a duck bao bun- both of which were so good! The mussels and broth were delicious and the duck was crispy and so so tasty. Then, my family got the wolf burger and I got the bad burger with an egg. They were delicious!! I would definitely recommend getting an egg and the fried onions on top of the bad burger. I was able to finish the bad burger but the wolf burger was too big for my parents haha. They gave a generous amount of fries and the side salad was really good with several dressing options. And, the Mac and cheese was phenomenal! Also, all the food came out SUPER quick, like 5/10 minutes! The building was pretty cozy but nothing special. Overall, this place was very good! No dessert but there’s enough food to make you full!! Maybe a little bit pricy but worth it.”
“Sustaining a reputation for excellent burgers can be quite challenging especially in this stretch of Andersonville, where there is no shortage of good food and drinks. But this place not only keeps up with quality burgers, its other items, like Mac and cheese, are also quite good. While the food items are great, cocktails are even better. Very few places are suitable for lunch, dinner, or late night eats, but this place is highly recommended for all hours.”
“We came in after the dinner rush, so we were seated right away without having to wait. The atmosphere was great—not noisy at all—which made it easy to have a conversation. The highlight of our meal was definitely the burger: perfectly seasoned, not overly salty, with a juicy patty. The Caesar salad portion was huge and very flavorful. We would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be back for more.”
“The juiciest and most flavorful burgers!! Also, AMAZING salads and tacos— the biggest salads with house made dressing 🤤 Everything is so good and the portions are really big! Excellent service throughout and the restaurant ambiance is nice and cozy! Highly recommend!! Can’t wait to return!”
“Our first stop on our Chicago burger crawl was Little Bad Wolf and we started on a LARGE note with the Wolf Burger. We ordered it without the bacon and still felt like it was a ton of meat- delicious but not for the faint of heart. The crispy onions weren’t very crispy I would have loved some more crunch. But overall, a delicious classic burger with timeless flavor. Nothing exciting or new, just a classic burger done well. The fries weren’t very crispy very oily, soggy, and bland without the dipping sauce. The service was great.”
“Service was fabulous and atmosphere was great. Drink choices were plentiful and bartender was knowledgeable. Loved the fish and chicken bao. Less excited by the salads and my beer choices but that’s mostly on me. Wish their long list of sours had some Une Année - our favorite local (Niles) brewery.”
