YUM YUM YUM! one of my favorite spots in Milwaukee for brunch. The menu offers some unique flavors and combinations, plus serving up amazing craft cocktails. The service is always amazing and you feel highly attended to. I recently got the chili crisp fish sandwich and it was so good! The restaurant itself is a little smaller but has super great vibes.
STOP! You found it. This is hands down the best brunch spot in town--and that's coming from someone who travels constantly. Food: Chick on Fire -- Have you ever taken a bite of something and couldn't even describe the flavor because it was just that good? That's what I'm always chasing when I try a new restaurant, and I finally found it. This sandwich is an explosion of flavor. The combination of lemongrass, slaw, and whatever magic they put into it creates one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. And don't worry, Wisconsin... it's not spicy. After tasting this, I'd order anything they put on their specials menu without hesitation. I even had to grab a photo with the chefs in the background. Well done, team! Service: Rin and her team were absolutely wonderful. I was in town for a funeral, and everyone showed genuine kindness and compassion. They offered their condolences, made great conversation, and somehow turned a difficult day into a much brighter one. Hospitality like that is rare. Ambiance: Exactly what a brunch spot should be--clean, cozy, welcoming, and full of character. I especially loved the EL bar. It's the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable in. This has officially earned a permanent spot on my list. Whether you're local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.
Oh my word, what a cute restaurant! The decor was mid century modern and it was a small location, but we had no problem walking in and getting a table at 9am on a Friday during Summerfest. The biscuits and gravy were so amazing. Not necessarily traditional with the spices used, but I would definitely order again. I at every last bite. My husband had the B.E.L.T.C.H. sandwich. It was an interesting take on a BLT and was SO GOOD. Came with roasted potatoes. My son ordered the pancakes and also enjoyed them. He asked for chocolate chips to be added and then blueberries on the side. They were big and fluffy. I would definitely go back here next time we are in Milwaukee!
Absolutely love their breakfast!! The miso brown butter pancakes are to die for. The spring omelette was also delicious! It's so cute inside and our server was very nice too.
Elevated breakfast, fresh, creative & flavorful dining experience. Very attentive, friendly & knowledgeable staff. Super chill atmosphere with views of downtown Milwaukee.
This was a perfect spot for breakfast in downtown Milwaukee! When we arrived, we were a little surprised that the wait would be 45-60 minutes, for the two of us - especially since only six people were in the waiting area. We waited about 25 minutes and then were sat at the empty spot by the window - which was empty when we walked in. We ordered the jalapeño infused Bloody Mary - which were delicious, with a cute little beer chaser. There were so many yummy options, making the decision difficult - what to have for breakfast? My husband had the sausage breakfast biscuit special of the day, which was delicious and I ordered the Big Wolf Breakfast with avocado. The flavors are perfect, the food is perfectly cooked! The tavern potatoes are out of this world! Do not miss these! We will be back - so glad we finally made it here!
Been here a couple of times, and it has always been excellent. Came here with another person for breakfast. It always seems to be busy, but you would expect that from a restaurant that has been recognized at the national level. Food: The food menu at Wolfe's is eclectic. There are so many interesting dishes to choose from. They do an incredible job of taking a traditional dish and elevating it to the next level. An example is the Spamolette (Spam omelette). It's sophisticated and delicious. This time I ordered the Big McAllister Smashburger. Like everything else, it was flavorful, the right temperature, and enormous. The two smash patties were cooked to create those wonderful lace edges that are super tasty. The rest of the ingredients were well balanced. It was juicy, but not overly sloppy. The fries were well cooked with great flavor. My friend got a side of French toast, which was also delicious. The thick slices of bread had a generous coating of batter and were fried to a nice, firm texture. A nice crust, with a tender center. For drinks, we got the Ube Chai and a mocha latte. Both were made with care, with excellent foam and some latte art. The temperature of the latte was a near-perfect 130°F. Service: They were busy when we arrived, and the host (Wolfgang, the owner) took our name and estimated a 15-minute wait. We checked out the adjacent boutique, where there are also some tables to wait for your table in the restaurant. Our table was ready in 10 minutes. The servers are always peppy and helpful. Efficient service without feeling rushed. Our drinks and food came out after just a short while. The server team made sure all the food was good and kept our water glasses filled. Atmosphere: The place is small, and they have a few seating options, either at a table or at a counter/bar. Not a fan of bar seating, but it works for the right group or for singles. With a full crowd, it can get a little noisy. The tables are small enough that you can lean in to hear. The place has a nice, chill vibe to it. It's an excellent place for breakfast or lunch. Definitely a place that I will continue to return to.
From the chorizo fundito burrito to the BELTCH sandwich to the Baja breakfast hash, the food had generous proportions of ingredients - no skimping here! The chorizo fundito burrito was well balanced between the egg, chorizo and salsa. The queso to dip on the side was a nice touch! The Baja breakfast hash had perfectly cooked "sunny eggs" and was perfectly salted. The BELTCH had a generous amount of bacon and egg which is often hard to find. The only downfall was that the entrance door connected directly to the outside (no vestibule). So, when patrons entered and exited, a gust of 10 degree frigid air would rush through the dining area every 2 minutes or so. Our party ate with our coats on since it was cold inside. Additionally, the wait was around 40 minutes on a Saturday at 930, which is expected for a popular restaurant.
The menu here is so varied and there isn't much of a vegetarian option. The food is good just such a long wait to get seated. It's always a nice time but the wait time kills it for me. Good spot I just feel like they need to work on either expanding or adding reservations if the wait time will be long.
I completely understand the hype about this brunch spot in Downtown Milwaukee! We visited on a weekend morning, where we had to wait about 45 minutes for a seat, but it was very much worth it. The decor and overall vibe of this restaurant is very light and welcoming, and the food is the cherry on top. We started off with some blueberry corn donuts as an appetizer, which was super tasty. My only complaint is that there weren't more donuts on the plate, but it succeeded at holding us over until our entrees were served. My partner ordered the chili crisp fish sandwich, while I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The fish sandwich was incredibly flavorful, with many different toppings that all somehow complimented each other, though at times you could hardly taste the fish! The biscuits and gravy were also delicious and had a very unique curry gravy. The egg which came on top added to the savory-ness of the dish. If I'm ever back in this city, this would be first on my list of stops back!
This location was so nice for a slow morning brunch. I ordered the avocado toast and it was the prettiest plate of food I've had in a while. The drink menu was amazing with plenty of fun options. I thought the prices were fair for brunch and it wasn't too busy. The location is fairly small and on a cold day seating close to the front is a bit chilly.
Uncle Wolfie's has an aesthetic look and is a cutesy place for sure. The servers worked as a team and did a great job. The spicy bloody was sooo spicy, making me sweat immediately and I couldn't really taste the flavor. The cold brew I got was watery I couldn't taste the coffee. I did ask for more cold brew to add on top and they were very kind and brought me a whole other black cold brew. The plain cold brew looked see through, was still watery and maybe wasn't made right, unfortunately. My plate I got was delicious, I recommend the Baja Breakfast Hash with chorizo! It was flavorful and the perfect amount for breakfast not too filling. The chicken katsu was missing the flavor overall but the crispy chicken was good. It was our first time coming here, we've heard great things and what we got didn't meet our expectations but maybe we will try other menu items next time!
Cute little spot downtown. It's smallish inside, though stylish with nice vibes. I wouldn't necessarily come here with a big group, but perhaps a date night or a small group of 4. I had a nice experience with everyone I interacted with, from beginning to end. Saw lots of smiles. Always a plus. They have an interesting, one of a kind menu. It's not just basic fares, but everything has a little twist or fusion vibes. We're talking Mexican to Vietnamese in fine dining. That said, the menu called the dishes "Shareables", and I expected them to be larger sizes to share, but it's actually the opposite. They are more like Spanish tapas - small appetizer sized dishes, that I don't want to share cuz they're good lol. Usually when i think of tapas, i think of a plate with items that can be shared easily, with everyone just grabbing a piece by hand, or a quick spoon. These shareables were like Italian family sharing kind of food (salad, steak, etc.) but in super small portions. Among the four of us, we each got maybe a bite or two of each dish. So really, it was more like we were "tasting" than "eating." Cheviche Fresh! Yum! Tofu something Delicious. We had a vegetarian in the group, so I felt bad eating more than a bite, but definitely would have othewise. Watermen salad This was ok. Definitely fresh and good taste, but the watermelon itself was not super sweet and didn't really add to the salad. Flank steak I would have been happy with this dish on my own. It's an awkward dish to share, though the steak does come cut up, to make it easy to share, i assume. Pork tacos Yummy tacos. Lumpia Fried spring rolls, kinda like eggrolls. Good, but not break my keto kind of good. Again, all the food items are pretty solid, though the experience of sharing these "shareables" weren't my thing. Everything is quite pricey for the amount of food we got. My tastebuds were happy, but my stomach wasn't satisfied. May be better for a splurge date night, with me eating more than my share.

The 4 of us "mature" fellows rolled in here for a Monday morning fuel up. The parking was easy there is a big lot across the street. I was very impressed with the breakfast menu. The dining room is in a boutique hotel so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. The waitress was terrific. She explained the options and was really good with the coffees and waters. The selection of Benedict's was impressive as were the omelettes The bacon was amazing! The toast was delicious. I recommend Uncle Wolfie's as the best breakfast in Milwaukee! It's no joke! read more
Stopped by Uncle Wolfie's in Milwaukee for breakfast and had a great experience overall. I ordered the Summer Omelette and added avocado. The dish was fantastic--super fresh ingredients, excellent flavor, and the side salad topped with shaved kohlrabi, blistered tomatoes, and a tomato vinaigrette provided a really nice, bright balance. My table mates ordered the breakfast potatoes, which looked amazing, so I'll definitely be adding those to my plate next time. Service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The only minor drawback was the coffee, which was just okay, but the quality of the food and service more than made up for it. Would definitely come back! read more

We drove to Milwaukee Wisconsin from Chicago and this place had good review so decide to stop by. We had such a great experience at this breakfast spot! The service was amazing, especially our waiter, he was so helpful, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the people were so friendly. And I have to mention the coffee--it was AMAZING! Definitely a place I'll be going back to the next time I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Highly recommend! read more

Looked at the food and the reviews for this place. This place did not disappoint. The chefs know how to season things properly it was so delicious. The portions are good and filling. The Bloody Mary was very good. Our sever who also is the master bar tender made the experience that much better. The location is so cute. I loved the decor. The different kinds of alcohol displayed was really fun to see. Just such a great place. I wish I could visit more often. Really miss the food. read more

Super cute interior and great service. We went for brunch and there was about a 45 minute wait but it was worth it! They sadly ran out of what I wanted to originally order, so I just got the chicken katsu bowl which was good but not great. The chicken was yummy but the rest of the salad was nothing special. We got a toffee banana sweet treat to share and it was absolutely incredible - by far the best thing I had there. read more

I was told this is "The Best Brunch in Milwaukee" and did it deliver! Uncle Wolfie's has a Downtown & Brewer's Hill location. For brunch, no reservations are accepted so one will need to come, add your name to the waitlist, and be patient to enjoy. Our wait was only 30 minutes but during peak hours, I have been told up to an hour wait time. The inside is small but had such a comforting and eclectic vibe. I loved the wood features, fluted accents, and charm the space gave. The large windows were great for natural lighting and feeling connected to the city. For drinks, I got the Lavender London Fog. Theirs is a bit different as it had a coffee base over tea. The lavender was bright but the drink was a bit milky. If you are looking for a bit higher caffeine punch, try the Creamy Sweet Cold Brew! For food, I got the BELTCH and YUM! Large portion, good flavor balance, fries were delicious. My friends got the Queso Burrito and Shitake-Yaki Omelette. I have NEVER tasted an omelette like this one before. So fresh and I cannot begin to describe the flavor profile in a good way. We also all shared the Biscuits and Gravy which we all loved. Across the board, the food types were brunch classics but Uncle Woflie's puts their own spin on the flavor notes. Each bite we were more impressed. Service was a bit slow on water refilling and taking down names at the host stand, but we may have just caught them on a bad day. Our server Pat was great and the staff made sure our group was well accommodated knowing we had a small child with us. Overall, we still left highly impressed and talking about our dishes all day. Already cannot wait to visit again and check out their dinner menu! Tip: If visiting with kids, the restaurant only has (2) height chairs so be prepared with a backup if not available. read more

Food is amazing, the decor is very stylish. Service needs work. But that's what every review cited. As long as you go in knowing what to expect, you will be fine. Service: they are not very efficient. It took almost half an hour for food to get to our table. Space: it's a small place, with about 15 four tops that can break into two tops. Food: coffee is average, but the following were delish: Breakfast burrito, had just the right balance of ingredients. Peppers had a nice char to them. The chorizo wasn't over powering. Just plain dancing flavors in the mouth Steak frites. They serve it medium well and it was perfectly cooked. They had marinated it so it was popping with flavor. The added sauce is not necessary. We scraped it off. Donuts. It's a very doughy pandan donut. So it's purple on the inside. It's served on top of a stroke of mango chutney. Serving size is 150% of a Timbit. So it's quite filling. read more
I am visiting from our of state so my friend recommended we go here for breakfast, and it did not disappoint. I got the BLTE with tavern potato's and my friend got the chorizo hash, we both really enjoyed our meal and were in an out in 45 minutes. read more

- good food, good service, fun ambiance - reservation made, but I don't think was needed - I would return to try their other options This place has been on my list for a while and who doesn't love a lil restaurant switcheroo when it transforms from Uncle Wolfies to The Wolf. The food was interesting and fun concepts that were enjoyable and have me wondering what the other options could be like! I got the Crab Nasi Gureng and was able to enjoy each bite of my rice dish that had lots of crab meat in it! Alongside the fried rice, there was a nice runny egg on top and prawn crackers that added a nice crunch to each bite. I'm not sure if thats how you do it, but I used the crackers like a scooper and ate it like a tostada. I was thinking some heat would take the dish to another level, and then my prayers were answered and I found a jalapeño! I thought the same thing again for more, and then a few bites later I had a nice sweet pineapple chunk! Oh my this dish was truly delicious and the only thing I can comment on is that I don't have some in front of me right now! (also maybe some more salt, but still flavorful and delicious) For my drink, I got the Thai Tea Tini. It had a strong banana(?) flavor and crunchy bits on top. I don't drink too much, so I can't comment too much on this drink, but if I did I bet this would be tasty. For now, I'll stick to my fountain drinks until my tastebuds can grow up. M'lady had gotten the Pork Belly Crispy Rice for her meal. It was a lot more different than we were expecting, but in an awesome-tasty-delicious way! I would describe it more of a salad, with the "base" being leafy greens. The pork belly was crispy and well-salted and accompanied by the secret hero - the crispy rice balls. I thought the crispy rice would be a hardened shell at the bottom of the bowl, but it was instead small balls of rice that were crisped and mixed throughout the salad bowl... never before seen or even conceptualized by me, but truly amazing! Adding to the crispiness, there were onions, lots of cashews, and lots of tomatoes mixed in (maybe too much, but thats ok). Tying everything together, there was a vinaigrette that added a nice punch to keep this dish very kiki-like. Pookie had gotten a virgin Onsen and it was a nice way to round out her meal. The drink was carbonated and very mellow with the rosemary flavor. Pretty tame, but no complaints really. I think this was a delightful visit and I was sadly too full to order their dumpling of the day. Alas, there is always tomorrow! Their interior was very fun and cute at night, probably even cooler in the sun. I hope to be back soon and see how else their menu surprises my mind and maybe even see new items. Lovely place and looking forward to next time! read more

Heard about this spot from another Yelper & so glad we came. First of all, it's absolutely stunning - the boho chic vibes were giving me life - everything feels Instaworthy - even down to the clay coffee mug and jadeite like dish that held the creamer and sugar. We split the Steak & Eggs & added a side of bacon - they shared that they accidentally overcooked the first steak and brought us a dish of cheese fries to hold us over - very generous! The food was phenomenal - my organic coffee was obviously a high quality brew, my partner's orange juice was fresh squeezed, our steak and eggs and bacon and roasted potatoes were all delicious. I did feel the steak could have been a bit more seasoned, but nothing a little hot sauce couldn't help. Our server was very attentive and friendly! All in all, easily a 5/5 for us! read more
Friends and I went to uncle wolfie's dinner diner right when they opened on a Sunday- we decided here since going to the other destination meant a 1 hour wait!!! We were seated and ordered an espresso martini and sangria for drinks, both STRONG and delicious! For the food we had the specials duck puff and crunch wrap, my bf had their Baja hash, and we shared the ube French toast. They were all very good! The duck puff pastry was nice and flaky, crunch wrap super tasty, and the French toast had a nice sourness from the lemon. Only thing I'll say about the Ube French toast; it doesn't really taste like Ube, it's definitely more "looks purple but tastes mainly of lemon" becuase of the lemon flavors! As a Filipino, I LOVE Ube, and I feel like if they use actual Ube paste they should absolutely put more in it! Not enough Ube!!!! Otherwise it was a wonderful brunch time! read more
We were staying at the hotel that shares the building with this spot so we stopped in for brunch! We arrived at 10am and every table was full, so we elected to sit at the bar! The interior is quaint and chill, decorated to an mid-century modern aesthetic. Hipster servers were all great throughout our visit! The food took quite a while to get to us, but once it got to us, it was delicious!!! The biscuits and gravy has five spice, which made it special compared to others Bs and Gs I've had before! A little odd, but one of my biscuits wasn't completely cooked through which was a bit of a bummer. Overall this spot has all the pieces to be perfect, but with the slow food arrival and the undercooked biscuit leave a bit to be desired. I'd definitely give it another shot to see if it was a one-off issue today! read more

In 2025, my friends and I had planned a big weekend trip to Chicago, and our meeting place was my friend's hometown of Milwaukee. They had recommended that we stop by here for breakfast, and although I had eaten prior to flying, I was down to try a new place. The inside of the restaurant was so pretty, it sits on the corner of the street with a very cozy atmosphere. My breakfast sandwich was delicious and the potatoes hit the spot. I had a mimosa but the drinks my friend's ordered looked super yummy! Our waitress was extremely nice. If I'm ever up in Milwaukee again you bet I'm stopping here. read more

Beautiful location! The amazing reputation was what lead us to choose this place for our Sunday brunch for my party of 5. We arrived and the host was super accommodating to a last minute addition. Everything was great until we met out in waiter. The initial greeting was standard but was followed by attitude as we asked simple questions like if the orange juice was fresh. Our order was placed and food eventually arrived, yet we didn't see her after this until about an hour later! She greeted and was joyfully speaking to other tables. Yet, we had close to no interaction with her! Drinks and plates eventually became empty in our table, and as we waited to request refills, she never came. The only time we saw her after all this was when she dropped off our check! Unfortunate that this beautiful and tasty location has some staff that very obviously favor some parties over others. read more

Uncle Wolfie's is everything you want in a breakfast/brunch restaurant. Not only is the atmosphere so stylish and comfortable but the food and drinks are very good. We came as a party if four on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was full, there was a waiting room where you can order drinks off to the side. We were told it would be a 35-40 minute wait but we were seated in about 10-15 minutes. Staff were very busy at the time but still very friendly and timely with our order. Great place to bring your family or a date! Definitely coming again. read more
Literally the best biscuits and gravy I've ever tasted. Crispy bacon and breakfast bramble cocktail were also tasty. We had about a 20 minute wait for 2 on a saturday morning but were able to put our name down and walk around a bit while we waited! Space is nicely decorated and not too loud; you also can wait in the building lobby if it's not as nice outside! read more

After an incredible experience at Uncle Wolfie's in Brewers Hill I decided to try out the location on Broadway, Downtown Milwaukee for brunch. The vibe: Comfy and cozy as we sat at the bar, wait wasn't too long as we came in on New Years Day. The food: My wife and I ordered the Mango Sticky rice french toast, pork belly sandwich and brunch burger. The french toast was delicious; sweet without it being overwhelming, super soft on the inside, had this mango cream that was divine and the mango boba on top was a nice touch. The brunch burger was your classic take on a smash burger; juicy, tender and flavorful. Had the side of potato wedges. My wife had the pork sandwich to which she thought was really good as well. The pork was tender and flavorful with just the right amount of crisp, and didn't feel greasy or heavy. Overall, solid spot to hit up especially after a night of drinking. I'd come back again for the brunch. read more
