What a special treat. We are visiting and saw that this spot was highly rated and decided to have brunch there yesterday. We ordered the breakfast burrito, uncle wolfie's breakfast that came with the cornmeal pancake and biscuit and gravy + their ceremonial grade matcha and it all was very very good. My only note would be that the gravy is pretty heavy and would have preferred a vegetarian option but that doesn't take away from the fact that it was delish! Our server was super sweet and kind & had really lovely service + great playlist. Would highly recommend while staying in Milwaukee! read more

Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Every time I'm in Milwaukee I have to make a stop (or three) at Uncle Wolfie's. It's such an inviting spot with a cozy interior and in a great neighborhood. There isn't a bad seat in the house, including the comfortable bar stools. This last visit I had the McJohnny with sausage and it was delightful, not too sweet, great balance of flavor. My husband had the Wolfundido which from my one bite also tasted amazing. The breakfast potato's are a triumph here. A few days later we came back and had the Big McAllister and the Latke Waffle Chop Cheese. The burger was well seasoned and delicious, and I had to stop myself from scarfing the Chop Cheese. Everything in there worked so well together and I could eat that waffle alone any day. Don't sleep on that dish, y'all. Wolfie's also has one of my favorite Bloody Mary's of all time, I ask for it spicy and it has never disappointed. It's also super nice that you can order drinks outside while you wait for a table. Finally, the service has always been great, all the servers are attentive and chill. We've always felt right at home. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern - McJohnny and Wolfundito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This restaurant was by far one of my favorite places I've been for brunch! Super busy on the weekends, so if you have a large group I would expect to have to wait a while as the restaurant is small. They have so many different latte options which was fun. The McJohnny was incredible - it was such a unique combination of flavors that complemented each other so well. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Such a cute spot for brunch and shopping at Orange and Blue Co! We had an amazing breakfast. The latke waffles are a celiacs dream come true... delicious. My husband's breakfast was ginormous but he managed to eat 90% of it. I decided to have a caramel latte after being told that the caramel syrup used is made in house. It was not a mistake. It was by far one of the best lattes I've ever had. was thrilled to be able to go to Orange and blue Company, which is located in the shop behind the tavern. Even better was the fact that I could get another Christmas gift checked off my list. They have such unique and great gifts for yourself or someone else there. The service at the restaurant was phenomenal as well as the service at Orange and blue Company. Kudos to both Sid and Sadie. read more

We were up in Milwaukee last iight for a musical and stayed the. Ight. I found Uncle Wolfie's in Yelp and I have to say this was quite simply the best breakfast I've had in years. My son got a chicken biscuit sandwich, my wife got another sandwich, my daughter got a Johnny cake and I got their standard breakfast. The eggs were cooked to perfection (sunny side up, perfectly seasoned, definitely cooked better than I can make. The Johnny cake pancake was amazing. The sausages tasted homemade and were unique, sweet and had more of an Apple taste. Best of all Was the potatoes (they were crushed potatoes, unique and incredible and I rarely go For potatoes these days. The coffee too was great. All 4 of us got something unique from The others...and everything was ridiculously tasty. Typically I am not the biggest fan of breakfast places because I can make some pretty good breakfast food myself, but Uncle Wolfies was different. I can't make this food, and it was top notch. I'd give it 10 stars if I could (it wasn't the cheapest place I. The world, but I'd gladly pay again because the food was that good. 5/5 and highly recommended. read more

I visited the restaurant's newer Broadway location a couple of times and got a chance to try its original Vine Street location recently. The Steak & Egg Burrito sounded appealing to me because I really enjoyed a similarly prepared brunch burrito at a restaurant in NYC a few weeks ago. Although the concept and ingredients are similar, I was slightly disappointed because it was not nearly as sumptuous as the burrito I had in NYC, even though I have to say that Uncle Wolfie's burrito was quite decent. read more

Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern - Breakfast drinks! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

An easy MKE brunch favorite! The food is always incredible. It's pricey, but for good reason: fresh, flavorful, inventive, hearty portions. (I recommend their loaded fries or poutine!) The drinks are similarly delicious. The only drawback is the space (while beautiful) is small, so wait times can be incredibly long. However, totally worth it, especially with an easy text wait list and drinks to order while you wait. Love Uncle Wolfie's. read more

It's been awhile since I have been to this location as the wait times were always so long. We visited last weekend and food was ok, the potatoes and sausage were way to salty. Very surprised as we always enjoyed this place. So we decided to give them another try this weekend thinking they were just off. Nope, my husband had the sausage again and so salty and the English muffin was soggy and my coffee came in a teacup.... So wanted to love this place like I use too. read more

Great little diner and the food overall was great. The wait was forever, as this is a very popular spot but the food itself also took a while. Recommend beating the rush or not coming when you're super hungry! The pancakes were perfectly cooked and a good amount of fluffiness. Fresh sausage and great flavor on the potatoes. Great breakfast and a good ambiance! read more

I can't believe I'm saying this but this was the best burger I've had... and I live love burgers coming from Minnesota we are spoiled with the Jucy Lucy and just a variety of types that I was a bit taken it back. Honestly it's such a well developed burger. I thought I wouldn't like the egg on the burger but it offers creamy ness and a sauce for fried to dip. It has some bacon jam that wow that was delicious. The fact that it comes with a pickle like that's smart because you want to have a crunch that's on the fresh side. Also they have a variety of dips that you can't go wrong on any. Service was good and you can tell it's a very popular place. My ice chai was great and wouldn't change a thing on my dish. We were able to get seated right away in the tables they had set up on the side walk. I look forward to coming here again! read more

If you leave hungry, that's on you. Huge portions of delicious food. The service was great, and there was plenty of street parking available. This was the best restaurant we went to during our entire visit in Milwaukee. Definitely recommend hitting this place up before you leave, if you're visiting. read more

My husband is obsessed with Uncle Wolfie's and it's walking distance from home, so we make the treck over to be there when it opens on the weekend so we can be sure to get a table. This place gets packed within the first 30 minutes of opening their doors most weekend mornings. The vibe is solid. The decor is really timeless while still being very of the moment. You can grab a seat around the bar or at a table that rings the bar, it's easy to have a big group here and still hear everyone as even as the place gets full its still easy enough to hear your tablemates. There are so many good things on the menu. My husband loves the Johnny Cakes - moist, fluffy, yet a substantial meal nonetheless. Both the BELTCH and Little Phatty are great breakfast sandwich items. If you're looking for sweet, the Tres Leches bread pudding french toast will likely catch your eye. It was too rich for me, but I did appreciate how much fresh fruit is served on top, and the tres leches flavors definitely come through. Bottom line: Great place to meet up with friends, get there early, and perhaps you'll get to see Gail Simmons and Kristin Kish if you're lucky. :) read more

Food smelled fantastic walking through the door. The food tasted just as good if not better. Nice staff, music from back in the day playing in the background. Cute look inside the restaurant. Had to wait about 15 minutes for a table on a Sunday at 1:30. It was crowded but you can order a drink while you wait. Enjoyed my visit here as a first-timer. read more

Always worth the wait for Wolfie's! This is one of my favorite places to go for a solo brunch and is a great option if you have a random weekday. Being attached to Orange & Blue is great for a spot to go shopping while you're waiting for a table. The drinks are super solid and the food is always pretty unique and tasty. I definitely try to get the specials and they've been delicious! The service is also wonderful - I love sitting at the bar and chatting. The staff are usually super busy but always really helpful and friendly. I'm personally a big fan of their sweet options - the tres leches French toast is super tasty! read more

Have been wanting to try this place for brunch for a while now. They always have a wait here that lasts maybe 1-2 hours. Finally were able to visit for Mother's Day brunch and was not disappointed. The place does not have a lot of tables but is very quaint and cute inside. We tried some Bloody Mary and groggy mick which were very well balanced. The vanilla latte was also yummy. In terms of food, we tried the belch, brunch burger, big wolf breakfast, and the wolfundido. I really enjoyed the belch and would definitely recommend trying this!! read more

We started off with three Johnny cakes. I enjoyed that the pancakes were cornmeal cakes. Sooo good. The cakes were so thick and fulfilling that my boyfriend and I split 1 in half. Then we had vegan biscuits and gravy, which was also delicious! We really wished the dish came with mushrooms but Im sure the kitchen is willing to accommodate. I had the Wolfundito and it was so savory. Our favorite was probably the latke waffles. It was so crispy and paired well with the aioli. We sat at the bar for this occasion. It was fun seeing the barista make coffees. Our server was very helpful pointing out something delicious on the menu! read more

First time here and it didn't disappoint. Got the Spamelette and my wife got the Pannise Benedict (she said it was the best bite of food she's had in Milwaukee since we moved back 4 years ago). Cortado was amazing as well. The only knock is when they get slammed, food can sit a little long in the window and show up luke warm. Go early to avoid the lines but worth the trip! read more

My breakfast was exceptional. I enjoyed the Cookie Dough French Toast. The dish had a lovely balance of warm notes with a touch of sweet. The French toast was perfectly soft with a slight crisp to the outside, subtly savory, spiced, and sweet cookie butter mousse, topped with crisp chocolate cookie crumbles and coco nibs. A delightful creamy and delicate condensed milk drizzle was the base of this beautiful dish. This reminded me of a European type dessert that has the perfect touch of sweetness without over doing it. Well done! read more

We stopped at Uncle Wolfie's after multiple people told us to try their all day breakfast and it did not disappoint! I got the Big McAllister and it was the perfect brunch burger. I substituted fries for tavern potatoes and it was amazing. We also got the Big Wolf Breakfast with fruit preserves. Also We both added Chili Crisp Aioli after our server recommended and it was perfect for the potato's / burger. They fill up very quickly and there are only a handful of tables inside (more outside but weather dependent) so make sure to come early or be ok with a wait. Can't wait to come again!

I'm sure the food is great. But I walked in for a seat for one person and within the 30 secs I was standing inside the hostess made it very clear I was not welcomed. "Sorry you came at a bad time our list is already long". The rude part is she didn't even ask if I wanted to join the wait list. read more

First time eating here. The wait on a Sunday around 11:30 was an hour and a half. It was nice you could order coffee and tea and wait to get called. The food was underwhelming to me. I ordered the big wolfie, which came with eggs, potatoes and I got the sausage patties and toast. My eggs were very salty and I didn't care for the potatoes. They're large crispy smashed whole potatoes. You have to pay extra for jelly/jam which is crazy to me. If you offer toast I shouldn't have to pay for condiments too. Overall I will probably not visit again. read more

Uncle Wolfie's does it again. They always outdo themselves. Got the McJohnny and it was fabulous. Our waiter, Matt was so nice and was super attentive. It was warm enough to eat outside and they have the perfect section for outdoor season. Definitely not our last time here. read more

This review is for Nite Wolf, the concept ramen menu that is offered only on Friday and Saturday evenings. Was so excited to try this concept menu! I have yet to try Uncle Wolfie's normal brunch offerings, but have heard great things from friends. Sadly, good brunch food doesn't automatically translate to great ramen. WHAT WE GOT: - Giant Dumpling: 4/5. I thought this dumpling would be massive. What we got was a very underwhelming, slightly-larger-than-normal dumpling. It was a tasty dumpling though; well-flavored and juicy with a perfectly-cooked ramen egg at its core, which was a nice surprise. The dumpling skin wasn't too thick, a sign of a good dumpling. This was a good--just not $10 good, especially for the portion size. - Mazeman Ramen: 1.5/5. Presentation was beautiful. The actual taste was so disappointing. The flavors in mazeman are supposed to be complex and multi-faceted--a rich, aromatic blend of umami and spices. But all we could taste was soy sauce and not much else. On top of that, the noodles were undercooked which made this dish pretty inedible. The only redeeming thing about this dish was that the chashu pieces were cooked very well. - Miso Ramen (+ spicy paste, which I added): 2/5. Holy crap, this was so freaking salty. I had a sinking feeling that this ramen would be disappointing when I saw the color of the broth. It was muddied and looked way too opaque. It indeed tasted like they dumped the entire miso packet into the ramen. Broth lacked complexity and clarity as a result. Noodles were also a bit on the undercooked side. Chashu was flavored well, albeit one of my chashu pieces was over-charred and thus had a burnt taste that I didn't enjoy. Overall thoughts: This place is trendy and vibey, especially in the evening. The idea of a concept menu is so exciting and fun, but this was probably one of the worst ramen I've ever had in my life. Ramen should NOT be cooked like pasta--the noodles are not meant to be served al dente!! read more

We called and called, they do not answer their phone. Then when we arrived they said they don't take groups over 6 people - that's fine but you could have saved us multiple Ubers if you let us know over the phone Later we tried to stop by the gift shop and pick up one of their disposable cameras shown online. It closed an hour+ early and they were not friendly when I was like hey your hours online could be updated then. Just overall I think the staff was more interested hanging out and enjoying their weekend than business reputation read more

Food and coffee were excellent! We sat at the bar and the barista was engaging and helped through some of the interesting options on the coffee menu. An absolute delight! Strongly encourage a reservation before going as the cozy spot fills quick. Worth the trip! Definitely going back soon. read more

If everything was even just a couple dollars cheaper I'd be here everyday! But even as it is it was delicious and I'll for sure be coming back. I got the classic breakfast and my partner got the biscuits and gravy (which were the favorite for both of us). We had ab a half hour wait when we went around ~9 on Saturday which wasn't bad, they have heaters outside and will even make you drinks while you wait. They were playing Wes Anderson instrumentals the whole time we were there which was actually kind of great! All in all it was really good food so I'd be happy to come back soon! read more

It may have been the best breakfast I've ever had! Wonderful food, fantastic service and fun atmosphere!

Best breakfast/brunch spot I've been to in Milwaukee. We went on a Sunday around noon. There was a 1.5 hour wait, but it was well worth it. Had the brunch burger, it was so flavorful and delish. Drinks were smooth and they had an amazing selection of both boozy and alcohol free drinks. Will be coming back. They have tables and bar seating, wide variety of music playing, and the overall vibe was elegant but casual. read more

Uncle Wolfie's is widely considered the best brunch spot in the city. It's small so if you come on a weekend be prepared to wait awhile, and not inside the tiny restaurant. You can hang out in the also tiny adjacent boutique but that will only kill about 10 minutes of your hour long wait. You can order drinks while you wait outside under heat lamps. Lots of waiting yes. But worth the wait! The food is awesome as is the variety of options on the menu. I went with a popular dish - the Wolfundido - a medley of chorizo, sweet potatoes, roasted peppers, onions, beer cheese, guacamole, sour cream and an egg on top. Basically chilaquiles with potatoes instead of tortilla chips. It's pretty darn good though and filling! The Latke waffle was also tremendous, but a tad on the greasy side, but I didn't mind. The smash burgers are also on point if you're feeling more lunch than breakfast. They also can whip up some killer drinks at the bar, from bloodies to Irish coffee and everything in between. Service was not the best at the bar, but thinking it was just an off day for our waitress. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The interior is very cute with a cool half moon shaped bar and tables along the walls. You may see some Bucks players pop in as it's a popular spot for the "it" crowd. read more

Very cool small and hip place. Waited about an hour for a table and it was worth the wait. I ordered the gluten free chicken sandwich with GF bun, added cheddar and Mayo. It came with hand cut fries and I added a side of homemade ranch. This meal was honest to goodness gluten free perfection. It came with two large pieces of chicken thighs fried with cornmeal batter. The fries were well seasoned and crispy deliciousness. If you're a ranch lover, look no further, the homemade stuff is top tier. Husband got a single Johnny cake, fruit, and bacon. He said the pancakes were amazing as was the bacon. We finished our experience with a chocolate chip cookie for him and a dark chocolate peppermint torte (Vegan/GF) for me. We ordered it to go but polished it off before we left. Definitely recommend for Vegan and GF folks because options can be limited elsewhere, but our food was outstanding with 1 GF person and 1 normie. PS. Loved that this place supports equality for all and seems very accepting of all crowds. read more

Tried Uncle Wolfie's for the first time this weekend and really enjoyed it. The restaurant itself is not super big so we did have to wait a little bit for a table, but they had heaters outside which were very nice. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and the dish was wonderful.

Excellent food! I had the Spamelette, a unique omelette, featuring spam and shiitake mushrooms. It was interesting, but I don't think I'd have it again.

Food is creative but you never know when they are open. If you are in the restaurant game and serve eggs might want to be available for clientele that will be going to the office by 8:30-9:00. Not a convenient option for Breakfast or Dinner. Again get in the game- servers are friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Your unknown hours of operation make it easy to walk a couple of blocks to a series of Breakfast venues at true value price points- can't live on old news clippings. read more

We went to Uncle Wolfie's after the Hot Cider Hustle having not been able to get a table last year. I think perhaps the build-up of a year wanting to try this restaurant made the experience a little less amazing. The Aviator was delicious and I would absolutely go back there for a cocktail and maybe try something else for food. I had the eggs benedict which is only available on the weekends. It was a little salty and the english muffin was a little tough but I really enjoyed the shredded ham, the hollandaise, and the potatoes. The eggs were hard poached which was disappointing. My sister had the breakfast sandwich and said the english muffin was very tough as well. The vibe of the bar is very cool and the staff were very friendly. I would go again--and try something else. read more
