“ Whoa. First, great service. Wait times didn't feel like anything at all. Second, these burgers are RICH. The patties felt like they were smashed into beef tallow. Unbelievably filling. Something about the Mac n cheese is also really really filling. The Baos are relatively light. Three of those don't feel nearly as heavy as one of the burgers. All the baos and tacos have creative toppings. The fries are thin cut and therefore break easily, so you're likely to get a lot of small pieces. The cocktails are good but pricey. ”
“ Little Wolf, Big Bite The burgers are amazing and you will not leave hungry after. It is a bit of a shoulder to shoulder / shared table environment, so if you're looking for something intimate, you'll want to guarantee you have a reservation ahead of time. The murals on the inside are eye catching as well, cool concept. ”
“ THE HAMBURGER, WOW! Amazingly crafted, of ny top of places flr a hamburger, imo, this is over au cheval and Bavette's. The place is small, but you can seat at the bar. The menu has good options, even their pastor taco waa good. They could make a better effort for their non-alcoholic options, the Arnold Palmer was bad. For some reason the service wasn't at the expected standards of its category. The place is dark for some of us, music a bit loud but that's expected. ”
“ Service and food were excellent. Burger was top-notch. One of the better choices in the city. There are also reasonable options if your low carb keto. They will substitute bun for a lettuce, but the real taste is the burger and mayo combo. Would definitely go again. Parking is on the street but not to bad. Would definitely recommend. ”
“ Awesome surprise north of Chicago. Extensive spirits menu and excellent food. The burger was outstanding and the fish tacos were delicious. We also had the crab cakes and they were very tasty. Great and accommodating staff. Definitely going back. ”
“ Gluten Free Goodness after a show at the RIV! Sorry I was so hungry I forgot to take pics. They altered the brussels sprouts to make them gluten-free and they were amazing! I got three tacos: a chicken, steak, and duck. I ate the duck first because not everyone does duck very well and I didn’t want to end with it, however, I should have because the duck was the best of the three. The chicken was my second favorite, and I could have done without the steak... It was too well done and not much flavor. However, my friend did get a steak and that looked fabulous. The service was great, and the ambience was dark and charming. ”
“ Outstanding food and service! Enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch (opt for the toasted onions for added flavor and crispy texture) - one of the best in my 70 years on planet earth! Chose the salad instead of fries and I was impressed by the size of the side salad and variety of greens and dressing that is ample in a container for you to apply as you want. Finally, unlimited Diet Coke that my server kept full throughout my lunch. We ate inside but there’s a nice outdoor patio and the vibe in both locations is spot on. ”
“ Very cozy adorable space! We came on the very busy Saturday before St. Patrick's Day. The wait for two was 30-45 min. We asked about bar seating and was told it's' first come ' basis. We were then escorted to a waiting area where we could order drinks. Within minutes the hostess came directly to us and let us know she had seats at the bar for us! We were very impressed. Not to mention the food and drinks! If you are N/A the selections are outstanding!! Food is a good as the hype!! Be prepared to get messy if you order any burger with egg! But you definitely should! ”
