Went to red & the wolf last night and it was delicious! Had the wings, caeser salad and the smash burger! Loved everything! My friend and i after dinner looked at each other and said no complaints! Everything was great! read more

Great food! Staff friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable! Would definitely visit again .

The establishment had a great feel to it. It is sophisticated and kitschy as well. They played great music, which added to the overall ambience. The service was excellent and attentive. The food was extremely tasty. The chicken bao was very good and the general bao was out of this world. The tomato soup had hints of Indian spices and was warm and flavorful. Will definitely be back. read more

Wife, kids and I had a wonderful dinner tonight at Red and the Wolf on 14 Mile in Clawson. Excellent beverages and the ribs and chicken wing appetizers were incredible - very, very good. For entrees we had some of the best smash burgers and fries I've ever had. The Bao buns were interesting and delicious and the Peruvian chicken was outstanding. Desert was a very well made carrot cake. Dan the manager and head chef Aaron came to our table to chat - wonderful dudes. And Aaron is a CIA grad (Culinary Institute of American), a big deal in the food biz. You have got to go and try Red and the Wolf - great food and service, friendly people and a fun time. Highly recommended!! read more

This place was such a hidden gem. The bao bun was absolutely amazing! The flavor was insane. The ribs and crème brûlée was also delicious. The only thing we didn't particularly care for was the steak, but everything else knocked it out the park. Our waiter was great and all his suggestions were on point. We can't wait to go back and try the smash burger. This is a great place to just pop in and enjoy. read more

Food: very creative and unique, we started with the Szechuan spare ribs, it's got a brown sugar dry rub on there. There's some spice that comes through from the togarashi, I would say it's a pretty balanced bite. I got the hot chicken bao and the Peruvian chicken bao. Both were very good. Service: we came in on a Monday evening, so it wasn't busy. Everything was quick and our server checked in on us numerous times, we were always taken care of. I like when they can make recommendations and they did not disappoint. Ambiance: beautiful restaurant, very modern and clean. It's a warm and intimate setting. There are only a handful of parking spots in their own lot but a good amount of parking nearby. read more

Hands down the best food I have had in a long time. Utterly delicious. Went once last week and returned this weekend bc I couldn't stop thinking about the food and wanted my husband to try! First time I ordered Peruvian Bao Bun and tomato soup with literally the best grilled cheese I have ever had. Loved the miso base for the soup. Super cute to serve in soup can style bowl. Bun was amazing! Came back second time and ordered same but also the Szechuan spare ribs app. INCREDIBLE. Fall Off bone. Super tasty with perfect seasoning and the salad it was served on was sooo good. Service was great both times. And the little Grandmas living room waiting area or to sip a drink is clever. This is 10/10. Must go. read more

I was a huge fan of Vigilante and sad when I heard it closed, so I was super excited to try out Red & The Wolf and was happy to see a similar vibe of the menu made it over, while committed to a fun theme! There's plenty of space inside, we ended up still making reservations, but it wasn't too busy during dinner (we did go on a pretty snowy evening though). There's a small parking lot for the restaurant or just general street parking. The theme and decor of the restaurant was super fun, starting with an awesome mural out front and a fun seating area inside. For our starters, I ordered a bao burger, elotes salad, and the tomato + red pepper soup. I loved the presentation of the soup and it was probably my favorite dish of the night. We ordered the roasted red pepper arrabbiata with chicken as our main, which was good, but nothing special. We ended with the black forest bread pudding, which was amazing, tons of flavor. Also, I just wanted to shout out the amazing service, and the bartender! They were able to customize some really great mocktails just based on our flavor preferences, which was really cool! I would definitely recommend for a date night or fun night out! read more

We went here on a whim on a cold, winter Saturday night and the place was popping. There was a wait for tables, but there were seats available at the bar, so we just parked ourselves there. Yelp has this place classified as a Chinese restaurant, but that is a bit of an overstatement. They definitely have some Asian inspired fare, but the menu covers a lot of different territory. We each ordered the Bao Burger to start. It was a unique mix of flavors and we really liked that. We followed that with the Elotes Caesar Salad which was fantastic. I'm not sure which ingredient gave it that tasty crunch, but it was very good. Then things got interesting... We wanted to try one of the naan flatbreads, but were told that they did not have any naan ready so it might be a little while. We had eaten our first two items so we were OK waiting for a while, but then we waited..and waited...and waited. I'm not sure how long it was before it was announced that the naan was available, but it seems like a solid 45 minutes, if nor more...and then we had to wait for them to actually prep it. The naan flatbreads are approximately a quarter of the menu, so it seemed crazy to not have any available on a Saturday night. We were extremely patient and didn't share our frustration on the bartender, who seemed equally frustrated. So, was it worth the wait? We had the Peruvian Chicken Naan Flatbread and, yes, it was quite tasty! One last comment: as I mentioned, it was a cold, winter night and according to my wife, the ladies restroom was unbearable cold. She was in there doing her thing as quickly as she could when another customer walked in and promptly screamed "OMG, it;s like the F#*@! Arctic Circle in here!"...so that gives you an idea of something else that probably needs to be addressed. read more

On our first visit, Maddy, our server, and Daniel, the manager, were both incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely caring, which immediately set a great tone for the experience. Service felt attentive without being overbearing--always appreciated. I'd heard positive buzz about their plant-based options and finally decided to check it out. The convenience of a dedicated parking lot was a nice bonus, and the location doesn't hurt either--just steps away from my favorite local distillery. They were unfortunately out of the lion's mane steak (the main reason we came), but that just gives us an excuse to return. Instead, we tried the bao buns and chick'n tenders. It appears they use Daring and Beyond products, which we enjoy. The cauliflower appetizer isn't vegan, so we skipped it. Overall, the food was flavorful and satisfying, though portions felt a bit on the smaller side--especially considering we ordered mostly apps. Prices are slightly high in my opinion, but the quality was there. The cocktail menu also caught my attention, especially seeing Weiss spirits featured in several drinks. It's a strong start, and I'm looking forward to watching both the food and cocktail menus continue to evolve. We'll definitely be back to explore more. read more

Delightful newish restaurant. We were having problems finding restaurants open on Monday, so we ended up here. So glad we did. The cocktail menu is small, but creative using spirits from Weiss Distillery next door. The food was the star for me though! quite a number of vegan and vegetarian items that were clearly designed by someone who understands that making plant forward food means more than just subbing impossible burgers in for hamburgers. The Lion's Mane mushroom riblets were visually stunning and delicious. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super helpful in choosing what to order. The decor could be described as cozy gothic. We did not order much because we had dinner plans but we definitely plan to go back. read more

Wow! As a Clawson resident, I am so excited for this restaurant. Clawson so desperately needs a restaurant with elevated fare, good ambience, and even better food! Four of us dined there this evening, and we all could not say enough good things about the food we ate!! One even said it was the best meal he has had in months! (He got the steak frites) The boa buns were phenomenal, clearly homemade. The Peruvian chicken was tasty, and a very good portion. The Elote Caesar was a fan favorite, and the carrot cake will have us back there probably tomorrow. read more

New addition to Clawson food scene opened up by the very own Clawson residents husband and wife. We had a party of 10 on Sat the reservations were made ahead of time. I recommend making them they were busy. The ambiance is different from the usual decor red walls, red curtains and a separate room designed like grandma's house. They also had a dj playing some light music. Onto the food we had a few things to try. Smoked wings with buffalo sauce on the side. Szechuan hot chicken bao, Peruvian bao, Naan flatbread. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. They have a decent wine list and and make crafty cocktails, draft beer list is short almost all of it bottled, however if you into good german lager they have one on draft. Service was great and very attentive the only down thing was the wait time for the food, granted it was a big party. Would definitely come back and support local business. read more

The kitchen had someone call in so the wait was very long for food. We were sitting at the bar and the bartenders were very friendly and apologetic for the wait. The drinks were good and when the food came we were very impressed. I would definitely go back. I had a Szechuan bao and a SOHO burger. I think they need to drop their flatbread menu and add a few additional bao options. I liked the restaurant but the parking was a challenge. read more

This place is solid! Came here with a group of people for my birthday. Despite our table not being ready on time, manager was very nice and accommodating, and was able to put together another spot that fit everyone. Our waitress was wonderful - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Food was very good and everyone absolutely agreed on that. Peruvian chicken dishes were perfect - chicken had great flavor and texture. Their take on Caesar salad is tasty. I have to say that side of mashed potatoes was spectacular! Best flavor I've ever had at a restaurant! And you must try chocolate cake that comes with raspberry topping!! Great dining experience in all - we felt well taken care of by the manager and the wait staff. read more

First time here with 2 friends, we were not disappointed. Seated almost immediately which was nice knowing this place is popular. We each had something different so we could taste multiple items from the menu. I had the Elotes Caesar Salad which was my favorite of the night. A lot of tastes with the right amount of crunch etc. I also had the Bao Smash Burger, least favorite of the night. I did like the flavor together, separate they were good. The fries & elote corn were great too. The table was split on the ribs. I would definitely recommend this place, we had a knowledgeable server who explained each dish we inquired about. It was a nice touch. read more

Our first visit, I was intent on a smash burger, so not a lot of playing around. The smash burger was very good, caramelized onions, sort of bread & butter pickles, double patties. It was very good but the sauce was overwhelming--just too much of it. Next time I'd ask for it to be on the side. Husband had two bao buns & shared my fries, which were thin, crispy & delicious, served with an aoli maybe too similar to the sauce my burger was swimming with. He really enjoyed the bao buns, one was the smash burger bao & the other was Peruvian Chicken bao, and he enjoyed both. Our server was terrific, friendly and prompt but she was hopping--only two servers, & one had to do bar duty. They were pretty stretched in a Saturday afternoon though actually not tons of people, pretty spread out in a good sized room. Hardly any beer on tap, just 3. Mostly bottled beer. Wine also. We didn't sample cocktails. Food was a titch slow. It seems like restaurants in this spot can never figure out if they are going to be 'upscale' or 'everyday' Hopefully they can figure it out. Meanwhile we'd like to come back for dinner sometime & experiment more with an interesting menu. Reserving thoughts til then. Small parking lot. read more

Great atmosphere and decor. Moody with reddish tones. We were seated quickly and had a very friendly and helpful waiter. Has a cute little room in the corner reminiscent of a grandma's living room. A guy plays vinyl records during the evening which I really liked. Prior to him, the piped in music was a bit too loud for the atmosphere of the place. The menu is eclectic. It is more of a drinking menu than a fine dining menu. Lots of small plates, i.e. bao buns, flat breads, burgers with a few dinner type meals. Food was good, prices reasonable. Nice addition to downtown Clawson which is becoming something of a dining destination. read more

This place is deceiving from the outside it seems that it isn't very large but when you go inside there is plenty of room for everybody. There are tables, they're a booths, and there is a full bar with lots of seating. The young lady who helped us was very helpful unexplaining the menu. This was our first time in and weren't really sure what to eat, and she steered Us in the right direction. I had the Peruvian chicken bao! Delicious. The bartender suggested that possibly I may want to because they are slider size. But I got a side of french fries which was more than enough for lunch. The manager came over and spoke with us and it was very kind I'm very friendly. You always appreciate personal service, especially when it's your first time in. Good job you guys. We will see you again soon! read more

Definitely a new place that's trying to find its footing. I live by here so there's usually about 50% occupancy each night which is nice that you don't need a reservation. A little more on the pricier end. Their bao burger is really good and I believe they do seasonal cocktails. Service for our two times has been okay and food runners still try to locate the tables! If you split an entree there is a $10 sharing charge to your bill. read more

Had to come back to Red and the Wolf since I just had apps last time. We enjoyed a lovely lunch with the BEST smoked wings, Peruvian chicken flat bread, fries and the tomato pepper soup with mini grilled cheese. Wow! I love the attention to detail of this place! The owner stopped by to visit and we learned the wings took 24 hours to make. Six perfect, juicy wings, rubbed in a spicy yummyness, then smoked low and slow so they were plump, juicy perfection! You have your choice between a buffalo sauce or a Korean sauce - or for a dollar you can have both which I highly recommend. It also comes with a house made ranch dressing that is phenomenal for dipping. The flat bread was made in house and was very tasty with chunks of chicken and chimichurri sauce and onions. Really really good. I didn't think the fried noodles on top added anything personally, but if someone likes that kind of thing you would probably like it even better. The tomato pepper soup came in an adorable soup can with two sticks of grilled cheese with caramelized onions. What a great dish. I am looking forward to coming back to try some of the entrées that intrigued me. I really love this place and I hope you visit because it's the kind of place I want to keep around because they really seem to care about customers and the quality of their food. The grandma room was decorated for Christmas and is so cute to enjoy for cocktails and snacks! Love this place! read more

The szechuan spare ribs are unbelievably delicious! The best carrot cake I have ever had.

Casual yet cozy interior vibe. From the huge cool mural to the stunning portrait above the bar the fable theme is evident. The food is original and flavorful. Grandma's salad, Bao handhelds, even the French fries were fresh, crispy and tasty. Grandma's Room is a vintage treasure- what a cool place to wait for a table. Nostalgic. Highly recommend. read more

The ambience is storybook perfect with a modern esthetic, particularly suited to the theme. The food is excellent.

So I understand this place is juuust opening buuuuut ugh. Still no excuse for terrible operations. One of our party booked a reservation for us via google reservations. I arrived early and we headed to the bar for a drink. Upon seating it seemed like the place was a vibe but quickly went downhill. We were asked several times who made our reservation even though the person had called earlier the same day to ensure we had it locked down, only to be informed they don't do reservations nor carry out and yet they have failed to disable both options online, as if they don't have a say or control in the matter, which they certainly should. Bartenders that didn't know how to make drinks, inadequate supplies- limited booze, no fruit, substitute cherry juice for muttled cherries in an old fashioned, ran out of a lot of their beer.. ill prepared. At least they were engaging to talk with but sometimes you don't necessarily want to see/ hear about their lives, where they live, their former lovers, etc... TMI. I had an old fashioned to kick things off. I was never asked what type of bourbon I wanted, don't even know what they used but was informed that the cherry part would just be some type of cherry concentrate or juice. Not great especially for the price. A glass of wine and an OF with tip- $31... oof. By the time we sat with our party, they did not have a dedicated waitstaff; seemed as if there was maybe one or two people trying to cover all the tables. Was 30 min before we got a sip of water; 45 minutes for a drink... was informed it would be another 40 minutes to get any food and 25 for any appetizer... by this time we had been here for almost 1.5 hours, one drink, one cup of water. Just atrocious. I also witnessed a cook reading instructions whilst making something. Just seemed as if you opened too quickly. Nothing ready, couldn't handle the details. We ended up not even eating cause we didn't want to spend 2+ hours trying to traverse this mess. A really poor performance that has tarnished what seemed like a good food option and maybe a good culinary experience. Not going to drive 40 minutes for this. read more

Red & The Wolf - Leftover residue in a wine glass - Chinese Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

I am loving the menu at Red and the Wolf which is much more elevated (American with an Asian twist) and affordable with generous portions.. so hard to find right now! As vegetarians / pescatarians, we enjoyed the fish and cauliflower bao which were pillowy and saucy! The roasted red pepper soup was a unique flavor profile (very coconut milky) and the grilled cheese had a strong smell that might not be for classic palates but I appreciated the inventiveness. The mushroom flatbread had a great crust but a little salty for my partner. I am giving 5 stars because it is week 2 and Clawson needs more quality dining options that are not bad bar food. If they can figure out their vision (plates, decor, and music were a bit mismatched) and get some signature cocktails, this will be a new favorite. read more
