Nice and quiet Monday night dinner. First time here but was recommended. Very generous portions, had a mixed drink and beer with dinner. They have a bar with 5 or so taps. Everything was fresh. Out of the fryer was HOT. Everything was very good and portions were big ( see pictures). Service was good as they were also training a new one at the same time. Well worth the stop and will be back in the future. Menus attached as this seems to be the only way to see what's being served. read more

We went there for the fish special. It was ok . The mashed potatoes came ice cold we asked them for fresh and all they did was heat them up in the microwave. The fish was ok but it had a thick band in the middle that you could eat. read more

Portions are huge, as you can see by the mammoth size plate of chili cheese fries. This is a small town diner with very friendly service however, don't expect to find balance or quality in the ingredients. The bbq had the consistency of dog food. Chili is canned, and well as the cheese 'sauce'. My BLT was safe and decent. Stick to the cold cuts and manage expectations and you'll find a fine meal. read more

I would describe this more as a lodge than a diner, the portions are generous and the food is delicious. We had super friendly service. We were there for a mid-afternoon lunch, but it felt like a homey small town favorite, I would imagine it would be busier at mealtimes. The bar looked fantastic - I would definately go back if I was in the area again! read more

Had to stop in and try the chilly! So glad I did! I also learned that their fish and chips are approved by English Dave! I'll be back to try that next. Nice clean bar and grill! Kerry was a great waitress! read more

Decent food. Gm friendly staff. My rating is based on other similar small town restaurants. We stopped here after visiting a sunflower field nearby and we were hungry and thirsty. The waitress brought beverages promptly and kept our glasses refilled. We order lunches and everything was good. My cousin ordered the nachos and there was a ton on her plate. Definitely could feed two people. My husband ordered the patty melt and really enjoyed it. I ordered the fish sandwich and swapped out regular fries with tater tot's. Surprise at the end of the meal was that as we were leaving we were told to take cookies from a plate sitting on the counter. read more

Great little, local and casual dining spot. The food is fresh and the menu is large. It can get busy, depending on what time/day you come. Service is usually quick, but we've had slower service and less attentive staff during peak hours. The dining room is attractive, well decorated, and plenty to look at. Overall, we love coming here! read more

Julian was fantastic!!! Very attentive and helpful with ordering. Highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Manchester Michigan!

Drove from Chelsea to check this place out. While waiting for our food, I noticed a cockroach crawl up by my wife to the top of her booth seat, she killed it with her napkin. Then, there was another cockroach on the window sill amongst the halloween decorations, which she killed. We were considering leaving, but our food came out. During dinner there was a 3rd cockroach on the wall, then as we waited for our check, a 4th cockroach on the back of my wife's seat again. We really should have said something, but the place was packed. She had the fish fry and said it was fresh. I had pork chops, thought it was odd they come with fries instead of the redskins or baked potato. Food was just okay, but I had lost my appetite. We will not be back. read more

I can not stress how great the food was or friendly, and attentive the waitress was. I would recommend the Hungry Wolf to anyone hungry the proportions are Large and priced fairly. read more

First time here as we were camping close by. We didn't wait long to sit but it went downhill from there. Bartender had to have our waitress ask how to make our drink, that was listed on the menu. We ordered dinner and got our soup and salads fast. We waited for over an hour before we got out food! Our waitress said it will be a while before you get your food as we have a lot of carry outs. Maybe she could have told us that right out of the gate. Also doesn't it seem that orders go out in the order they come in? Also maybe a dining in customer gets served more quickly? Then we noticed a couple tables seated after us were served before us and yes it was the same thing we ordered. We ordered the fresh fish which we agreed was tasty and a whole order could feed 2-3 people depending on if you had an appetizer or were big eaters. We ate, finally, and yet another wait, for our bills. Finally we got up to go ask and we see her in the back on her phone. She was not a young girl that you may expect to be on her phone either. We paid at the bar and still no contact with our waitress. read more

Best Friday night fresh fish fry. Portions are huge and food is delicious! Highly recommended. read more

Great staff and wonderful food with huge portions. You definitely get your money's wroth!

Don't understand all the 1 star reviews other than they are all 4-5 years old. "The Wolf" as we call it is NOT a bar that serves food but rather A RESTAURANT that has a bar you can sit at and sip your adult beverages. Never have I ever had a bad meal there. Servers are all friendly.All the food is good from the appetizers to the daily specials they have. The fish fry is THURSDAYS and FRIDAYS and it is fantastic. The reason for my four-star review is sometimes that Service can be slow when they are extremely busy but remember.. GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME!!! read more

The Hungry Wolf is one of my take-out and done-in go to's. They have a very diverse menu that's different from the typical burgers and chicken. Great selection, awesome employees! read more

Fish and chips are the best I've had. Unfortunately they take way too many carry out orders and the patrons who actually come to the restaurant suffer. Usual wait is an hour+ on a FridayZ. read more

No idea why this place has such low stars maybe because they had a wait the reason why they have a weight is because what you learn from New York City as you never want to go to a restaurant that doesn't have a weight in other words it's really forking good read more

Holy portion control issues Batman! Come hungry. This place is so far off the beaten path you will be convinced you are lost before you get there unless you are a local. My father knows how to lure me though, offer a new tasty burger to sample on his dime. The drive was worth it, I have to say. The atmosphere is nothing special. The service can be slow. Fair warning. They are really friendly here but this place has a pace firmly set at mosey. They did keep us in drinks, including some nice iced tea. The burgers are huge and tasty, hand pattied. My mom and I each had one (mine was a jalapeno burger that was on special). Both were cooked to order and quite happy. We had some delicious onion rings to go with. You will not finish it all, do not even try. My dad had a very good delmonico steak and was blissful. My parents have been out for the fish fries on Fridays and say it is delicious but I cannot verify it. Prices are great, especially considering the size of things. Not health food, which definitely worked for me today. read more

I have been going to the HW for years, mostly for lunch but for dinner once in a while, with my wife. The best CLUB SANDWICH I have ever had and I have tried many!!! I usually combine it with a HALF order of the mushrooms unless I want take some home!! The service has ALWAYS BEEN GOOD NO PROBLEMS. The only thing weak on the menu are the soups, tried a couple of times and was disappointed each time. I see the one star ratings and wonder if we are talking about the same place, of course there are some folks who live to complain. Maybe MOMMY wasn't working that day to care for them. I really enjoyed the references to GFS, I bet over half the restaurants in the area are supplied by Gordon's. DUH!! Call me TC and satisfied!!! read more

Went here for lunch got the steak hogie it was great, my sister in law and dad got the ruben it was also great, sweet potato fries were great. Our serve was also very nice friendly and food came out hot and fast, we will be back for sure. read more

Stopped in here today for the first time & was greeted right away by a very friendly waitress. I ordered the pretzel bun sandwich & let me tell you what, this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. You have a choice of (I think 3) meats to get on the sandwich, I picked corned beef which was so plentiful & tender. I paired it with a tall beer, I love they they have options between 16oz & 22oz drafts. I left feeling completely satisfied! Definitely going to stop in again when I come through Manchester. read more

This place has weird vibes and subpar food. They have a full bar which they don't even use and they look at you sideways if you even order a drink. They close early. And if you aren under the age of 50 and don't eat your food in silence the other guests/regulars death stare you the whole time. I've been here maybe 5 times over 10 years and every experience was like that. Super awkward. read more

This place is not good. I've gone several times because there are few options in town, but it never gets better. There's one server there who is pleasant and gives good service, but most other servers are grumpy and wouldn't know what good service looked like if it bit them in the behind. Everything they serve is gfs and for low quality food, the prices are a bit high. They never have a real bartender working. Instead, servers make drinks-or shall I say TRY to make drinks. Being a bartender myself, I am very specific, but even after telling them exactly how to make something, in which glass it should go, it's never been right. Save your money! This town desperately needs a good quality place to eat! read more

I am not a fish guy per se. I like it once in a while when done the way I like it. Usually grilled and not deep fried. The best fish I have had prior to this is Thirstys in Dundee, MI 48131. It is thick and juicy like a steak and the breading peels off easily if you like to cut the fat content. Enter The Hungry Wolf. I tried the all you can eat cod on a Thursday night and let me tell you that the first plate had so much fish on it I did not need to reorder. Thick and juicy. I am a big 255 lb guy and can put some food away; one plate full here did it for me. Mashed P and Gravy was decent as well. Nice! read more

Just straight forward good stuff. Love sandwiches, fries, salads. Great for lunch and/or dinner.

The other reviewers are right, portions are huge, and the menu is geared to the burger-and-fries crowd. There are some salads on the menu (huge), and some non-meat options (double-decker grilled cheese), and there's a kid's menu with standard kid options. My favorite menu item might be the patty melt -- reserved for special occasions or days when I'm skipping dinner. The BBQ sandwich is good too! Love the sweet potato fries. Potato skins are yummy and you can order them a la carte. Full bar, good beer selection, a few pie selections for dessert. The terrific wait staff is friendly and always happy to see you. It's a nice place to stop for a slow, leisurely lunch or dinner. read more

The deep fried mushrooms and onion rings were amazing! Service was slow, but the place was packed. Michelle was an excellent waitress. Can't complain about any of the food. I had the BLT and my daughter had the chicken strips. The portions were huge, ridiculously huge. Everything was great! read more

Small place, tastefully done. Clean bathrooms. 3-4 tvs. The cheese stick were 3/5 better than say Applebee's. The ranch was amazing. I got the wolf burger. Way to big of a serving. I would rather pay less for less. Burger was pretty good. I give the place a 3 out of 5 nothing worth driving to far for tho. :/ read more

The Hungry Wolf - Wolf burger. - American Near Me - Manchester, Michigan

This is a family style restaurant. Right price for the food. The steaks are very very very good for the price and A LOT of food! So be very hungry. Also try their fish fry on Friday, most fresh fish you'll ever get from a restaurant. This is my nee find around town, and for sure my fish fry! read more

Service was extremely slow. Missing items from our ordered meals. Waitedfor a long time for our food and it was not even busy. The appetizer came only a couple minutes before the actual food. Super disappointed. read more

This place has never been a big pleaser, but with very few options in town, I find myself taking the kids here when we're pressed for time for dinner. They have one really great server, Michelle, she was not working tonight. They only had two people working and they could not keep up at all! The service was horrible, the food was lukewarm, somebody needs to open a new restaurant in Manchester so that there are more options! read more

Again walked in and people came in after us, they got served their drinks before we even got acknowledged . Won't be coming back anytime soon. This is actually rated with zero stars read more

It's okay, nothing super special about this place but a solid choice if you aren't sure what you want to eat!

The food here is pretty good and the portions are quite generous. You will not leave the place hungry. Not much of a mingling atmosphere even though it has a bar but I have no complaints on the food. It's solid American fare. Nothing fancy just good food. Fish fry is excellent. read more

Have lived in the area for 7 years. Every time I have gone there the waitresses are slow and not very friendly. The reason for the review is I called on Friday night to order a to go order. Someone answered the phone then placed it down on the counter where we were on "hold" for 30 min while we drove from Ypsilanti to the restaurant. When arriving to order we told the bartender and they really didn't care and we had to wait 30 min for the food. The food is good but it's not really worth the wait and service. read more

Atmosphere is yuck, corny and too bright. Food is basic, blah, mostly heated up, processed stuff from a Gordon's or Sysco type supplier. I have heard good things about their fish fry, although I have not personally had it. Service is fair. read more

Exceeded my expectations. Stopped here with family on our way to Crystal Lake. We originally passed it up, its bland exterior and the presence of a couple of Harley's out front made it look like a biker bar. We asked a local downtown where to get lunch, and he said hands down the Hungry Wolf - good food, great portions. We went back. Inside, it's actually quite nice, and looks recently renovated. Well lit and somewhat quaint, it's got wolf-themed decor. As for the food, none of us had a burger, so I can't really review their flagship offerings. My chef salad was huge and quite tasty, if nothing particularly special, but hey, it's a chef salad. My grandmother liked her BLT and my mom raved about the butternut squash soup, though I didn't try either. My dad's country fried steak was very good, the only complaint being the use of probably canned gravy. For the price, though, the food was good, the portions large, and the service friendly. read more

Unsatisfying! We sat down to order and I asked if there was a gluten-free menu. The waitress said "we don't have anything gluten-free." I asked, "even the salads? I can't get a salad without the croutons?", to which she replied, " I can take off the croutons, but it still won't be gluten free." She refused to work with me on how we could prepare a salad that I could eat and said simply, "I will give you another minute" and walked away. We left and will not return. read more

Food is good, and portions are large. Service is consistently slow, and prices are high for what you get, with the exception of the fish during Lent. 6 dollar kids meals not counting drinks makes this a no-go for our family. Bridgewater Bank has better food and lower prices. read more
