    We visiting for a quick bite and drinks. Food was great! Service was friendly and quick and they had a live band for their 2nd year anniversary!!

    Food tastes great! They have daily specials and I got the OG Burger. Very big and very well cooked. Only small complaint was my wife ordered fries well done and they came out soggy. But our server took care of it for us immediately. Food was hot and tasted fresh. Nice locally owned place with a great vibe!!

    Burgers are great, fish fry is decent, but did not care for their wings. Not crispy and sauce was weird. I don't appreciate the upcharge for lettuce, onion and tomato- seems high to me. However there is definitely enough good to keep me coming back!

    10/10 experience at Arctic Wolf Ale house. A smaller bar and grill with delicious smash burgers. Ordered the Bacon and Cheese burger with tater tots and i would get it again. They have a couple different Smash Burgers and they all sound delectable. Their burger patty's are thinner than the average ones but it was a good portion and size burger. Tater tots remind me of McDonalds hash browns, yumm. The shrimp was also nicely coated in the boom boom sauce. The service was great and food came out quickly. I will be stopping by again for sure !

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap (no chicken) with a side of Tator Tots

    I went to the Arctic Wolf last night for my first time and I already can't wait to return! To start, when I walked in, it smelled so good so I already knew I was in for a treat. My fiancé and I are originally from the area so we were excited to try just for a change from the usual places. I ordered a glass of cab and my fiancé ordered a Coors which were both as expected. To eat, I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap without the chicken as I am a vegetarian. The server was so sweet about saying they can accommodate the chicken being left out and went above and beyond to even check if they had alternative vegetarian "meat" options which I found out they do! I typically don't like substitute meats so I declined but was really happy to know they provide other options for vegetarians like myself. My fiancé got the Mac Stack burger because I mean, it just sounded so good (I even agreed). Our food was great and will say, I really enjoyed the crispy tator tots that came with mine! I ended up getting a side of the Wild sauce because I love sauces and it was super tasty. I want to go out of my way to say how absolutely AMAZING my service was. I totally wish I got the girl's name but I could not have even dreamed of better service (and I used to be in the service industry myself). Not only attentive but she was SO kind the entirety of our meal, going out of her way to check on alternative options, check in a few minutes after we received our food, and was just overall really great. 11/10 service truly. Thank you, Arctic Wolf, for such an awesome first experience. I will be back for both the great eats and the awesome staff!

    Smash Burger Tacos
    Doug W.

    Tried out Arctic Wolf Ale House tonight and had an amazing experience. Had their cheese curds which were great but pairing it with a mixed berry sauce wasn't anything I've ever considered with curds but it was such a great compliment to them and we annihilated them. Nicole was amazing as our waitress, personable, accommodating, and she recommended the smash burger tacos which I ended up trying which I'm so glad she recommended them. Never had anything like them before and they were incredible. The tortillas were perfectly toast, the smash burger patty had a great crust, and fresh cut veggies. Hope it's something they put on the menu as we'll be going there again. My kids can be picky about their food and my son was raving about his burger the whole ride back home. A lot of places claim they do smash burgers but they end up being regular burgers. This place knows how to do smash burgers. Perfect amount of crust on the patties. Their wolf sauce is a great on the tacos and on the side with fries. Definitely a place we'll be hitting up again and will recommend to friends.

    Meet us "the Wolf" sit down and relax!

    absolutely DELICIOUS! After you treat yourself to their signature OG Smashburger (also available with a lettuce bun), sweeten your experience with an Alaskan Duckfart and piled-hi dessert. Excellent food, service and ambiance. go BEARS !!!

    OG Burger

    Great tasting food with massive portions. The prices were a bit steeper than we're used to but it was delicious! Service was also great.

    The OG Burger

    Excellent smash burgers! We had the OB and mushroom and Swiss. Both were seasoned well and absolutely delicious. Staff were great and food came out quickly. Will be back for to try more!

    I got to try a new burger place around the Carpentersville area. How did their burger hold up to the other's I have been to? Let's find out: Ambiance The restaurant is pretty well-lit. They also have a bigger dining area connected to the main room where there is a side bar. The noise level is good, but I have only been there when it is an off time. There are TVs on the wall and at the bar. Overall, the spacing between the tables is good and does not seem cluttered. Service The service is really good. The server is friendly. Also, the speed of the food arrival is pretty good. We did not have to wait too long for the food. Food I have tried several items on their menu: Mushroom swiss burger The burger is very well made. It is a very well-prepared smash burger, where there is an outer crust and a juicy middle. The number of mushrooms was proper, where it wasn't spilling out everywhere and had enough mushroom taste to state its presence. One thing to note is that the burger was not as greasy as some similar mushroom Swiss burgers I had tried before. I got my burger with tater tots, which are crunchy pillows. Hot 'n' guac burger The hot part is the sliced pickled jalapenos in the burger. It had moderate heat to it. The guac part was a little confusing to me since it gave the burger a creamy aspect but was overpowered by the jalapeno flavor. Fish and chips The cod was cooked perfectly. The fish and a light but very crunchy coating. The tater sauce paired well with the fish and it had a creamy consistency. It came with standard chips (fries) which were very well-cooked. Overall I enjoyed eating at the Arctic Wolf Bar. The burgers are great and the service is well done. I would recommend Arctic Wolf Bar to eat at.

    Fish Fry

    Friday Night Fish Fry Fish was good, the breading was light and it was hot. Great place to hang and watch March Madness... Nice local place... We had to wait ... was told ahead of time..1/2 hour for table hour for food... to set expectations. I totally appreciated that... The wait was not that bad after all... We decided to wait and glad we did.. Our waitress ( Sarah) knocked it out of the park... she busted her "ass". Very attentive.. place was busy... but she took care of us... I would recommend and come back again... Watching the kitchen.... I think we will have to try the smash burgers... they looked amazing....

On our last visit on a Friday night, our server Kevin was friendly and helpful in offering menu suggestions and letting us know about specials. We ordered pizza, wings and sliders off of the Happy Hour Bar Menu. For four drinks (two were non-alcoholic) and several apps, our bill was under $60. Not bad at all and we even had extra food to take home. For events, Amy here often goes above and beyond to ensure a great customer experience. The parking lot gets filled here fast on a busy bowling night, but in all, Bar Down is a fun, local place to hang out and watch a sporting event.

But I was pleasantly surprised by the food too. I got the cheeseburger sliders which were really good. Moist, tasty, and the perfect size for a slider. I ordered fries on the side and wasn't expecting the portion size. They gave an entire basket of fries that easily could have fed the party of four adults I was there with. Crispy, flavorful, loved them. The cheese curds were also great, paired with a sauce recommended by the bartender. I wish I could remember what it was, definitely some type of sweet/salty almost teriyaki sauce. So, so good. I don't drink alcohol much so I can't comment on the drinks but everyone we were there with seemed to enjoy them. So much so, they ordered several. Great vibes here. They had the front window open for a beautiful sixty degree day. Music was on. Everyone there both staff and other customers were all really nice and we had a great time. Turns out our bartender was the owner of the bar and he was just fantastic. Attentive but not overly so. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a great place for a drink and a bite to eat.
