Gave Uncle Wolfie's a shot while back home in Milwaukee and it gets the stamp of approval. The vibe is calm, honest, and easygoing. They clearly care, but nothing feels forced. Our server was fun to chat with and definitely made the experience a bit more interesting. I stopped in for brunch on a Wednesday around 11am and snagged the last open table. Ordered the Steak & Eggs and was impressed by the value; healthy portion, reasonable price. Perfectly cooked medium rare steak with chimichurri, crispy-runny eggs, and excellent potatoes holding it all together. The food is thoughtfully plated without trying too hard, and the prices feel fair for the quality. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been. Another lil Milwaukee gem!
This place doesn't look like much from the outside. The signage is minimal, so it'd be easy to miss if you're driving by quickly (or in our case, if delivery trucks are blocking the view of the front door). In fact, I had to call after we parked, because I wasn't sure we were in the right place. Thankfully, we were. This is a rather small space, with a U-shaped bar and tables for two lining the windowed walls. However, there is additional seating beyond the kitchen and up a small flight of stairs, just past the quaint the little store full of cute little finds (jewelry, purses, fragrances, hats and more). That seating includes larger tables inside a glass enclosure and and an outdoor patio with a few round tables and chairs. I ordered the 16 oz Candy Capped Mushroom Latte and the Beltch sandwich. The Latte, though could have been a little hotter, was delicious. I drink mushroom coffee daily, so was excited to find a breakfast place that offered it. The Beltch was a generous size and incredibly flavorsome, with the sambal aioli adding a nice bite of spice to this classic breakfast sandwich. I chose a side of sweet potatoes, which were tender and also seasoned very well. However, I think they could get away with downsizing the portion a bit. My husband ordered a latte and the Big Wolf Breakfast. The bacon (which delectable smell permeated the restaurant) was made perfectly crispy for him. The "Tavern Potatoes" were unlike any traditional potato side I've seen. Think small, smashed and seasoned potatoes fried up on the grill. Very different, but very good! I'd been wanting to try this place out for a while, and I was happy to have the chance. The menu is full of unexpected, creative and sophisticated tastes worth exploring.
This is the best brunch or lunch you will ever have. I almost always get the Wolfundido but today I got the brisket Birria brunch wrap and it changed my life. I got a bloody that I was able to sub out vodka with mezcal for no extra charge which was incredible. The decor is very cute and aesthetically pleasing. The food comes out in an average amount of time but there is always a SUPER long wait to get a table (1 hour typically) so make sure you put your name in early and then circle back for when you want to eat!
Finally made it to Uncle Wolfie's for brunch! We tried the Wolfundido, the Lil' Phatty, Kale Caesar with chicken, a johnny cake for the table, a hibby dibby, (they had a nice selection of NA beverage options), and a maple latte. Everything was very good - there were quite a few things on the menu we were debating on ordering! They were able to accommodate our gluten-free diner without any issues . This location is smaller, so visiting with a smaller party (4 or less) is recommended. There is no space to wait in front - you are directed to wait in the back where you can peruse Orange + Blue Co or sit in the enclosed patio space and order a drink while you wait.
This place was very nice inside. Unfortunately, there is no parking lot. You have to find street parking and wait in your car until they text you when your table is ready. Unfortunately, we were out of towners and had no car and it was raining.... The service was stupendous! Very attentive and welcoming. The coffee and food was delicious! A little pricey but definitely good food. I would go back to try other dishes.
Can't believe it took me so long to try Uncle Wolfies. We came on a weekday around 11am to avoid the long weekend wait. We were seated immediately. Staff was great, very helpful and had good recommendations. We were very well taken care of. I loved my breakfast, the Wolfundido. Very flavorful and filling. I got the beer cheese on the side, and glad I did. I think the dish would've felt heavy with the cheese. Can't wait to come back and try something new.
Visited Uncle Wolfie's original location in Brewer's Hill for a Saturday Brunch! I called 30 min before arriving and was told there was no wait but they were starting to fill up; there may be a max 20 minute wait by the time we got there. By the time I arrived at 10am, there was already a 30-45 minute wait. Parking is a lot easier and free at this location but the inside is extremely small. One can wait in a back shopping area and preorder a coffee, tea, or drink as you wait. We did wait the full 45 minutes but used the time to decide on what we wanted to order. Once we sat down, we ordered a chai latte and brown butter miso latte to enjoy. The brown butter miso was the perfect flavor for a cold, snowy Saturday. All their syrups are made in house and are fresh. My husband's chai also tasted fresh and house made. It was a good balance of sweet and spiced yet very light. For food, we got the Biscuits and Gravy & Wolfie's Breakfast Poutine. The food actually came to the table before the lattes as they only had one barista on staff. I did see our lattes sit on the counter for about three minutes before we asked and they were brought to our table. Either way, their food flavors were great! The poutine had so much depth of flavor with each component added. The biscuits and gravy also have a flavor unlike any other type I've tried: sweet yet savory. Overall, Uncle Wolfie's continues to have very impressive food offerings and food quality. I prefer the aesthetics of their downtown location over brewer's hill. While our items ordered were great, the service was sadly a but lacking this visit. Either way, I highly recommend giving them a try! Tip: Uncle Wolfies does not take reservations nor have an online wait list to join. Come early to avoid long wait times and limit the amount of people you come with to 4 or less.
This is a cute brunch spot! The seating area is a bit small but cozy. They don't take reservations so we had to wait about 40 minutes on a Sunday but there's some coffee shops nearby! I got the patty melt and this was great. The patty melt was much larger than I anticipated and came with a side of home fries. The food was a bit greasy, but overall delicious. Uncle Wolfie's is a great brunch spot. The portions are big so come hungry!
Though there was a wait, the wait was much shorter than expected. The food and drinks came out quickly and were all delicious and unique.
We've been here a few times and I'm finally reviewing it! This is seriously one of the best places to get breakfast in Milwaukee. There has always been a wait when we get there, but they help make the time fly by making it easy to order drinks while you wait. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. They were as prompt as can be without being too much so. The serve great coffee and also have some really nice cocktails such as Bloody Marys. This last time, I got the special, an egg sandwich that had a crab cake on it. Plus smashed potatoes. Excellent all around. Honestly, couldn't come up with a negative on Uncle Wolfie's if I tried.
Great food as always. My order was not what I asked for but they did come back with some of the correct order later. Coffee was good! Potatoes were well cooked and very salty! Great/sweet pancake.
Uncle Wolfie's, hyped and....rightly so. Inside it's a small seating area so large parties might not get seated easily, service was very friendly from the hostess who moved us to a bigger table to accommodate our son (high chair) to the server who answered all my questions well. It's a dimly lit (sunlight is king) atmosphere but is great for breakfast. I ordered the Brunch Burger. What a masterpiece. Perfectly toasted bun, absolutely impeccable smash patties and a glorious onion jam combined for sweet, some heat and the pickle for the perfect amount of acid. The potatoes were fantastic. Seasoned perfectly; crispy, fluffy inside. 5* through and through
Ughhhh sooo good! I can't to come back :) we went on a Thursday around noon and only waited 20 min. They have a cute little waiting area with a store you can shop in. Everyone I was with loved their meal! The service was excellent as well!

This is the top brunch place that pops up on yelp. Wait was pretty long but food came out pretty quickly when we got seated. Inside is limited seating, the store in the back was nice to wait in. We all got different items but I ate mine so fast. Flavorful, and filling. Pancakes were huge and I liked how it could be a side. Took half of it home. Would come back and try more on their menu. read more

Highly recommend Uncle Wolfie's. The food is great and the Service was delightful! Excellent customer service! We enjoyed our meals and definitely plan on taking some home. We sat at the counter which turned out to be the best for conversation with other diners, especially when three Bucks athletes came and sat next to us. The little shop in the back is delightful and well staffed with unique gift items. read more
Uncle Wolfie's is a hip, cozy breakfast spot in Brewers Hill. On weekends, the restaurant will fill up as soon as the doors open, so get there early to avoid an hour+ wait. Weekdays has more seating availability. Food is large portions and is definitely comfort food. Drink list has lots of great coffee and alcoholic options. The little boutique in the back is a fun stop while you wait or when you finish. read more

There was no wait, but it was a Wednesday morning. Service was okay and it was cute inside. We got the special which was really good! My English muffin tasted really good, homemade! I really liked the potatoes, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. read more

- delicious food, good service, cozy ambiance - no reservation can be made for brunch - excited to come back for a sweet option Happy to get a seat at this tasty diner! With their rotating menu items and weekly specials, I am definitely coming back after having such a flavorful and fun meal. Waited about an hour on a busy Saturday since one of their locations was closed, but the food was well worth it! I had gotten Wolfie's Patty Melt and it was filling and a great start to our morning. The bread was nice and crisp from the buttered griddle and held everything together perfectly. Inside the crunchy sandwich were 2 seasoned patties and enough gooey cheese to make it rich, but not heavy. To contrast the fatty flavor, there was a slightly tart bacon jam and onions that were truly caramelized. Overall really tasty sandwich with no notes! In the description it says there is a sauce, but I could only taste the onions and jam, so I'm not too sure what it added. The side of fries was ok, but I think some crispy thinner ones would have been better with the sandwich. For my drink, I got a hot Ube Chai. The chai was strong and had a spicy kick to each sip. Already a subtle flavor, the ube was not very strong with the chai mixed in, but still added fun color. The design on top was also very cute and added another dink of sweetness. My girlfriend got the Spamelette for her main and it was pretty pretty and delish. Not too often that you see Spam, but when you see it, trust it earned its spot on a menu! The big chunks of Spam and accouterments gave each bite a pleasant feel and one full of flavor. I was skeptic of the mushrooms at first, but they were seasoned well and added another kind of texture to the meal. I think my favorite toppings were the drizzle of kewpie and the green onions... not sure if it counts as a topping, but the tamari glaze of the spam made it delish. Taste aside, it was also a pretty meal! Pook got a Hot Chocolate for her drink. Nice simple drink for the cold weather. We would have liked to see some more chocolatey flavor, but still a good milky drink for the meal. This drink also had a fun design and nice cream top, yum yum yum. This was such a tasty meal and they have lots of other options that I was debating on getting - I guess we gotta come back! It was a really cold day, but the cozy atmosphere and hot drinks with our food made it a great experience. We had originally planned on going to the Downtown location, but it was closed because of heating problems. I wish there was a bit more uniformity between their menus, especially since the Brewers Hill menu has different items and is smaller, so it feels like there is quite the difference between locations. Going off of that point, I am excited to try their dinner menu when it releases and see how it compares to when we ate Downtown! I am not sure how the places differ, but I felt the food here to be more flavorful than the other location. In addition to the dining area, they had a small shop and coffee area in the back while you waited for your table. It was fun and made time pass faster, but I feel as though that area is also perfect for dining. Maybe there are specific reasons why it isn't, but just a thought. Hope to come back soon! read more

VIBES! Breakfast all day is my jam! This spot is connected to a small local business shop selling jewelry, coffee mugs, hand bags, caps and more which is a nice selling point if you have to wait a touch for the table. The actual restaurant was perfect. I enjoyed all the food options especially the Wolfondito as I stuck to the "wolf" theme. This plate had chorizo, sweet potatoes, onions, beer cheese, guacamole, and an over medium egg. Needless to say, I left nothing on the plate (see attached before and after pic). My table got a variety of brunch cocktails and our service was excellent. The music was on point too. I will totally come back here again if I'm in the area. read more

I'm so happy we had the opportunity to try Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern! A few drivers recommended it to us, and they were right on the money. One even warned us to come early because they sometimes run out of the popular dishes (pro tip: listen to the locals ). The vibes are welcoming and cozy, the service was very attentive, and the food... on point. The Wolfie's Patty Melt was absolutely perfectly melted, flavorful, and satisfying. Truly a five-star bite! This place makes you feel like you're starting your day with a warm hug. Milwaukee breakfast for the win! Below are the locations of a video I uploaded during my experience.

They say if you can keep your restaurant buzzing on a Monday or Tuesday, you've truly made it! Walking into Uncle Wolfie's around 10:30 this morning, it was impossible to miss the vibrant energy in the air--this place is a hotspot! We hit the jackpot, arriving just as a table for four was cleared, ready for my parents and I to dive into the deliciousness. The enthusiastic staff let us know they just needed a couple of minutes to sanitize and set up the table, and they suggested we take a stroll to Orange and Blue next door. Wow, what a gem! This adorable shop is overflowing with charming aesthetic items, from vintage bags to stunning jewelry--perfect for a little pre-brunch shopping spree! After a short excursion, our server brought us back to our table, and I was wanting to venture outside my usual order. I decided to go for the Wolfundido. This dish came out in beautifully arranged sections, and I enjoyed savoring each part before turning it into a delightful, gooey yummy mess. Every bite was a heavenly experience! My dad couldn't resist the Little Phatty and polished it off in no time--he was in food heaven! My mom, keeping it light, chose two eggs with toast, which came with the most incredible homemade strawberry rhubarb jelly that perfectly complemented the crusty sourdough. This was only my second visit to Uncle Wolfie's, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone heading to or living in Milwaukee. It's a hidden treasure that you absolutely don't want to miss! read more

Uncle Wolfie's is one of my go-to spots whenever I have out-of-towners visiting Milwaukee! I recently brought my mom and a family friend, and as always, it didn't disappoint. Be prepared for a bit of a wait--this place is super popular--but it's worth it. While waiting, you can browse the cute little shop next door with jewelry and unique gifts, which is always fun. The vibe at Uncle Wolfie's is like a modern diner, super welcoming and cozy. For food, you HAVE to try the biscuits and gravy or the brunch burger--both are amazing. And don't miss their Bloody Mary. It comes with all the fixings and is the perfect start to the weekend!! read more

Food was really good! The staff were super nice and friendly! The iced latte and matcha latte were amazing while waiting on the patio to be seated. Once we got inside I ordered another coffee. But chicken biscuit and paw paw toast were so good! Very cute diner! Hole in the wall glad we found it read more

I met a few girlfriends here for brunch this summer and first of all, it's a busy place. We had to wait but got a table after about 15-20 minutes. There isn't obvious signage outside - but the name was on the door, so that's how we knew we were in the right place. Parking is on the street - whatever you can find. The food was delish. The potatoes - amazing. Just look at the pictures! Service was good. Atmosphere was busy, bustling, full. Really good, yummy, quality food. A great place for breakfast or brunch. read more

The wait may be a little long but the food is so worth the wait! We waited for about 35 minutes on a Saturday morning for a table for 2 for brunch. But it's great you get to order drinks in advance! We both had the specials, a Benedict made with a chickpea fritter and lion's mane mushrooms and a Carolina bbq pork/smash patty burger. Incredible! They mentioned the Benedict may be making it on the permanent menu, so definitely give it a try. The service was great and we loved our server she was super kind. We loved sitting outside with the cool weather this morning! It was my second time coming and won't be my last! read more
I came for Nite Wolf, when Uncle Wolfie's opens in the evening and serves ramen. Darn good ramen. I had the mazeman and an Earl Grey cocktail. Everything was delicious. I loved the decor, too--nice mix of historic Milwaukee architecture with some modern, fancy upgrades. read more

Uncle Wolfie's probably ranks within my top 3 on the brunch list in my head if based purely on food quality, it's that good. The first time I came here was a year ago and wow the menu has changed quite a bit already from offered dishes and the prices. Came with my friend on a Saturday around noon ready to have a long wait. We were given 45 minutes and were seated in about 1.5 hours. Thankfully, the weather's nice now and the outdoor waiting/seating area have QR codes where you can order coffee and/or cocktails while you wait. Would come with someone you can talk to for a good few hours! There is a small boutique in the back as well if you want to take a quick look around! The interior is small with ~10-12 small tables and bar seating in the middle (not open seating). Now that the weather's better, half the outdoor tables are also for seated dining. My friend and I decided to share a Latke Waffle Chopped Cheese and the Wolfundido. Other things we were considering were the Poutine or the McJohnny, which I think is a new addition to their menu. Portion wise is on the bigger side, if we weren't so hungry I think we would've had leftovers to take home. Latke Waffle Chopped Cheese: kind of a potato waffle sandwich that we had to eat with fork/knives because it was a bit messy. The chilis in it does give it a bit of a kick, not sure if those who can't handle spicy would be able to handle it. Comes with fries which were fine, nothing special. Wolfundido: I absolutely love this dish, it's like a healthy skillet that definitely probably isn't healthy but was very delicious with its bell peppers, tomatoes?, and sweet potatoes. The sauce they smothered it in was so good. I would definitely order this one again. Overall I think it's worth the wait, especially if you have a drink outside. It is a bit pricey in comparison to some other brunch places I've been to but the quality is worth it. Would only come if I had basically an entire morning free to hang out though. read more

Pros: Really delicious and high-quality food. Cons: I am told it gets busy, and by the time we left, there was a healthy wait list. Details: We got here basically when they opened because we were concerned about getting a table. It helped that there were only three of us, but we were seated right away. Inside has some diner vibes but also fits well to this part of town. There was a good-sized menu and also lots of drink options. We were all happy with our meals, and the portions were big. We would go back for sure. read more
We heard about them on TV and decided to stop in for brunch. We were told an hour and a half wait. We decided to wait and took a walk. We were seated after an hour. So glad we waited as it was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I ordered the fried chicken biscuit with an added egg. It came with a Side of potatoes. The potatoes were great; crushed red potatoes pan fried crispy. The chicken biscuit was awesome; crispy with an awesome sauce. My wife had the eggs Benedict and a corn bread flapjack. Both of these were also excellent. The portions were huge and we had to take leftovers home. Pricey, but well worth the price. Friendly and attentive staff and cute place with a full bar. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back and try other items. read more
I love spam. When I saw they have a spam omelette on the menu, I knew I had to come here. They don't do reservations. We came on a weekday morning and didn't have to wait. The place is cozy and comfortable. The spamelette did not disappoint. It was delicious, epically with the shiitake mushrooms on top. The only thing I would change would be less mayo. I'll have to try and recreate it at home. read more
Worth the wait... on the waitlist.. 45 mins. It started raining.. this think out the list because waiting in our cars... Got in 10 mins into another 30 because we were told longer due to rain reducing seating option outside... man! Finally called in after 1hr 15 mins wait! Can we say Ummhmm Delicious! My daughter picks the best places when we're out of town! She had their California Steak & Egg Burrito and I had McJohnny... read the description.. it definitely wasn't what I expected but happily surprised!! Maple infused pancake with bacon(my meat choice) , American cheese and I asked for over medium egg in a sandwich no less! And... chili aioli with brown butter miso...nothing but flavor poppin goodness meshed all together!!! Oh and some of their tavern potatoes.. which could use more seasoning so I dabbled salt on top! She loved her burrito too! Sad she didn't have a Johnny cake too! read more
I am SHOCKED I haven't reviewed Uncle Wolfie's yet. This place is hands down one of my all time favorite places to eat breakfast in town. The drink menu is about as long as the food menu (which I love) - a restaurant that takes just as much pride in their beverages as a straight cocktail bar. The food is incredible - always made fresh and crisp, the tavern potatoes is something that I always have a craving for. I'm spoiled and always try to get there right when it opens (it gets busy and tables fill up FAST- realize that since it's first come first serve) I tend to always get the Early Wolf Special and always pick the Jonny cakes. They're so interesting since it's not your average pancake (cornmeal cakes) but they are GIANT and like the size of your FACE. You'll be able to take delicious leftovers home that will make you reminisce about the experience and want to come back the next weekend! read more

As a self-proclaimed brunch fan, I had to give Uncle Wolfie's a try. It's been on my to-do list for quite some time. New year, new businesses. SERVICE: The service inside the restaurant is great. The workers move efficiently and your drinks and food come out quickly. Unfortunately, you cannot make reservations ahead of time. I arrived and got put on the waitlist at 10:58 AM. My party of 2 was seated at 12:43 PM. So, almost a 2 hour wait time. If this isn't something you or your party are interested in, I highly recommend visiting a different establishment. You can order drinks while you wait outside. However, on cold days like today, I recommend warm drinks to keep you toasty. FOOD: I ordered the spamelette and a side of fries. The spamelette was delicious! The folks in the kitchen know what they're doing. The flavor combinations here are honestly unmatched. Definitely an elevated breakfast experience outside of your standard bacon and eggs. Each spamelette bite had a mixture of textures. The egg was semi-solid while the spam had a nice crunch. The mushrooms helped add flavor as well. The food was hot when it arrived. 10/10 for me. The long wait times are just something you accept with this establishment, but the food is high-quality. read more
We had heard Uncle Wolfie's was one of the best brunch spots in Milwaukee, so I came in extra skeptical. Whenever places are "the best" I always assume they are over hyped. Boy was I wrong... Uncle Wolfie's is THE best brunch in Milwaukee, hands down!! I got the brunch burger and it was perfection. So flavorful and with the side of garlic aioli made it unmatched. Their tavern potatoes were so flavorful and crispy. I will be dreaming about those tonight... David got the little phatty and put the side of bacon jam on the sandwich. It was unreal and the English muffin was so airy and light. You have the option of sausage, bacon, smash patty or avocado. Sausage was delicious, but if you are looking for a unique twist, I would suggest the smash patty. Can't go wrong with any though. I left wanting to go back the next weekend (or day) and try even more things from their menu. I bet everything there is amazing. We noticed a lot of people near us ordering the Poutine, so we will definitely be trying that next time. Lastly, make sure you go expecting at least an hour wait, but trust me it's so worth it. There are coffee shops in walking distance that you can check out while you wait or heaters outside with the option of mobile ordering drinks. read more

*this review is for Nite Wolf, the Friday and Saturday Ramen concept inside of Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern* Date night on a frigid spring Saturday night so what better than ramen! We'd never been, I made reservations a few days in advance and I'm glad I did because there was never an empty table. The cucumber appetizer is so freaking good, couldn't snap a picture in time. We both loved the brothless ramen, though the ramen with the addition of the spicy miso ball was excellent too. We had delicious local beer, and a sapphoro. Service was excellent, I would definitely come back. read more
Absolutely delightful breakfast spot that's totally worth the hype and the wait. We waited an hour and a half for bar seats and my goodness I would do that every weekend if I lived here. Everything was outstanding. The team was super busy since the place was packed but service was still great. Comfy vibes and cute decor. The food is outstanding. The burrito my boyfriend had was his favorite thing we ate all weekend. My plate, the wolfundido, was very solid. Flavorful, great fresh components and well balanced. The tavern potatoes were perfectly crispy and crunchy. Seriously one of the best meals I've had in Milwaukee and a cut above everywhere else we tried. I'll definitely be back and look forward to trying some brunch cocktails!! read more
Wow, I am impressed! Definitely worth the wait and hype. I'm typically not a sweets person for breakfast, but I had to have the Paw Paw Toast. It was the perfect size and *not too sweet*. I also ordered 1 biscuit with gravy to get some savory too. Enjoyed it all! Husband ordered the Wolfundido and it was delicious. The mix of it all was so good together. We really enjoyed our breakfast! read more
Uncle Wolfie's is ALMOST worth the wait. I went on a Saturday in March and waited an hour and a half for a table for two but they have a cute little patio where you can order drinks off of a QR code so that helped ease the wait time. When we sat down, the food and drinks came within a pretty reasonable amount of time and all of the food was pretty delicious. I wish the restaurant were bigger and I also wish they had a second location but I guess there's something special about having such a popular place for brunch that requires a bit of patience in exchange for a great experience. read more

Food: Fresh, large portions, amazing taste. I think all natural ingredients. Service: Excellent. Venue is small. If it's cold you're outside waiting. Cons: 1 he wait. Another hour to get the food. We didn't realize that and arrived at 8:30. By the time we sat down and food arrived it was 10:00 and we had a miller tour at 10:30 so just plan accordingly. Otherwise A+++++++ read more
I think it's an undisputed fact that Uncle Wolfie's holds the title of best breakfast/brunch in Milwaukee and today was no exceptipn for us. I couldn't decide between the latke waffle breakfast and the beet salad, so I got the salad with a side of latke waffles - best decision! Mike got the wolfundido which we decided is like a cross between nachos and chilaquiles but with potatoes instead of tortilla chips. We pretty much licked the place clean Don't be put off by the long wait (it's a small place!), it is well worth it. Go for the whole experience, take the time to stroll the cute little connected boutique and have one of their hand crafted drinks while you wait for a table. The awesome crew will light up a heat lamp for you while you hang outside and bring you drinks to enjoy (order via QR code by the front door). We sat at the bar today and were super impressed at the detail placed on every single drink the bar served up (the Irish coffee with HAND WHIPPED whipped cream!? And a mocha with hand mixed chocolate. Truly in awe). read more
I've heard so much about the place I had to give it a shot. Came here one morning, the staff is super pleasant and low key. I really enjoyed the space, it's just a cute cozy spot with some good food! Started off with a matcha and holy wow, I'd be willing to say it was the best matcha I've ever had. Such good flavor, perfect temperature, I enjoyed it so much. I ordered the biscuits with vegan gravy and a side of eggs. I have to say, the food was good and solid, but it wasn't great, the gravy was too salty, and the biscuits were too dense for my personal preference. Overall, this place was great, and I would 100% recommend checking it out. Also, there was so much street parking it was so easy getting a spot in the early morning hours. read more
We stopped by Uncle Wolfie's for dinner during their Nite Wolf ramen pop-up. We haven't been for brunch yet so this was our first time visiting. The ramen was delicious! I had the Miso, and my significant other did the Shoyu. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food. The service was fast and pleasant, and the atmosphere cozy. Although $21 for a bowl of ramen feels a little overpriced (the most I've ever paid), the portion of noodles was pretty large so it was filling. I'd definitely recommend checking out their Nite Wolf concept for some delicious ramen! Reservations are available online which is always a plus. We will try to visit another time for brunch when we have extra time, as they don't accept brunch reservations. read more

As a brunch/breakfast lover, Uncle Wolfie's hits the spot with a delicious drink list and an awesome menu! I've gone twice, first time with my girlfriends and they were incredibly accommodating to seating the six of us. I got their french toast special at that time and was in love with it. I went a second time with my boyfriend, I got the McJohnny and he got the johnny cakes and we loved our food. I had never tried cornmeal pancakes and this absolutely hooked me- they're so freakn' good. Ambiance is impeccable, very hip! read more
