    Latte
    Melissa B.

    This place doesn't look like much from the outside. The signage is minimal, so it'd be easy to miss if you're driving by quickly (or in our case, if delivery trucks are blocking the view of the front door). In fact, I had to call after we parked, because I wasn't sure we were in the right place. Thankfully, we were. This is a rather small space, with a U-shaped bar and tables for two lining the windowed walls. However, there is additional seating beyond the kitchen and up a small flight of stairs, just past the quaint the little store full of cute little finds (jewelry, purses, fragrances, hats and more). That seating includes larger tables inside a glass enclosure and and an outdoor patio with a few round tables and chairs. I ordered the 16 oz Candy Capped Mushroom Latte and the Beltch sandwich. The Latte, though could have been a little hotter, was delicious. I drink mushroom coffee daily, so was excited to find a breakfast place that offered it. The Beltch was a generous size and incredibly flavorsome, with the sambal aioli adding a nice bite of spice to this classic breakfast sandwich. I chose a side of sweet potatoes, which were tender and also seasoned very well. However, I think they could get away with downsizing the portion a bit. My husband ordered a latte and the Big Wolf Breakfast. The bacon (which delectable smell permeated the restaurant) was made perfectly crispy for him. The "Tavern Potatoes" were unlike any traditional potato side I've seen. Think small, smashed and seasoned potatoes fried up on the grill. Very different, but very good! I'd been wanting to try this place out for a while, and I was happy to have the chance. The menu is full of unexpected, creative and sophisticated tastes worth exploring.

    This is the best brunch or lunch you will ever have. I almost always get the Wolfundido but today I got the brisket Birria brunch wrap and it changed my life. I got a bloody that I was able to sub out vodka with mezcal for no extra charge which was incredible. The decor is very cute and aesthetically pleasing. The food comes out in an average amount of time but there is always a SUPER long wait to get a table (1 hour typically) so make sure you put your name in early and then circle back for when you want to eat!

    This place was very nice inside. Unfortunately, there is no parking lot. You have to find street parking and wait in your car until they text you when your table is ready. Unfortunately, we were out of towners and had no car and it was raining.... The service was stupendous! Very attentive and welcoming. The coffee and food was delicious! A little pricey but definitely good food. I would go back to try other dishes.

    Wolfundito

    Can't believe it took me so long to try Uncle Wolfies. We came on a weekday around 11am to avoid the long weekend wait. We were seated immediately. Staff was great, very helpful and had good recommendations. We were very well taken care of. I loved my breakfast, the Wolfundido. Very flavorful and filling. I got the beer cheese on the side, and glad I did. I think the dish would've felt heavy with the cheese. Can't wait to come back and try something new.

    Caesar Salad with chicken

    Finally made it to Uncle Wolfie's for brunch! We tried the Wolfundido, the Lil' Phatty, Kale Caesar with chicken, a johnny cake for the table, a hibby dibby, (they had a nice selection of NA beverage options), and a maple latte. Everything was very good - there were quite a few things on the menu we were debating on ordering! They were able to accommodate our gluten-free diner without any issues . This location is smaller, so visiting with a smaller party (4 or less) is recommended. There is no space to wait in front - you are directed to wait in the back where you can peruse Orange + Blue Co or sit in the enclosed patio space and order a drink while you wait.

    Great food as always. My order was not what I asked for but they did come back with some of the correct order later. Coffee was good! Potatoes were well cooked and very salty! Great/sweet pancake.

    Visited Uncle Wolfie's original location in Brewer's Hill for a Saturday Brunch! I called 30 min before arriving and was told there was no wait but they were starting to fill up; there may be a max 20 minute wait by the time we got there. By the time I arrived at 10am, there was already a 30-45 minute wait. Parking is a lot easier and free at this location but the inside is extremely small. One can wait in a back shopping area and preorder a coffee, tea, or drink as you wait. We did wait the full 45 minutes but used the time to decide on what we wanted to order. Once we sat down, we ordered a chai latte and brown butter miso latte to enjoy. The brown butter miso was the perfect flavor for a cold, snowy Saturday. All their syrups are made in house and are fresh. My husband's chai also tasted fresh and house made. It was a good balance of sweet and spiced yet very light. For food, we got the Biscuits and Gravy & Wolfie's Breakfast Poutine. The food actually came to the table before the lattes as they only had one barista on staff. I did see our lattes sit on the counter for about three minutes before we asked and they were brought to our table. Either way, their food flavors were great! The poutine had so much depth of flavor with each component added. The biscuits and gravy also have a flavor unlike any other type I've tried: sweet yet savory. Overall, Uncle Wolfie's continues to have very impressive food offerings and food quality. I prefer the aesthetics of their downtown location over brewer's hill. While our items ordered were great, the service was sadly a but lacking this visit. Either way, I highly recommend giving them a try! Tip: Uncle Wolfies does not take reservations nor have an online wait list to join. Come early to avoid long wait times and limit the amount of people you come with to 4 or less.

    Ughhhh sooo good! I can't to come back :) we went on a Thursday around noon and only waited 20 min. They have a cute little waiting area with a store you can shop in. Everyone I was with loved their meal! The service was excellent as well!

    Wolfie's Patty Melt
    Audrey L.

    This is a cute brunch spot! The seating area is a bit small but cozy. They don't take reservations so we had to wait about 40 minutes on a Sunday but there's some coffee shops nearby! I got the patty melt and this was great. The patty melt was much larger than I anticipated and came with a side of home fries. The food was a bit greasy, but overall delicious. Uncle Wolfie's is a great brunch spot. The portions are big so come hungry!

    We've been here a few times and I'm finally reviewing it! This is seriously one of the best places to get breakfast in Milwaukee. There has always been a wait when we get there, but they help make the time fly by making it easy to order drinks while you wait. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. They were as prompt as can be without being too much so. The serve great coffee and also have some really nice cocktails such as Bloody Marys. This last time, I got the special, an egg sandwich that had a crab cake on it. Plus smashed potatoes. Excellent all around. Honestly, couldn't come up with a negative on Uncle Wolfie's if I tried.

    This place reminds me of a brunch spot in Arizona called Prep & Pastry, and it's one of my favorite brunch spots in Arizona. The experience was pretty good from the get-go and we were seated pretty quickly. The decorations are very contemporary and I will remember them for a while!

    A cozy restaurant with good food and great service. The staff is attentive and very friendly, and the food is super filling. Highly recommend for breakfast and brunch lovers!

    Brunch Burger
    Dave G.

    Uncle Wolfie's, hyped and....rightly so. Inside it's a small seating area so large parties might not get seated easily, service was very friendly from the hostess who moved us to a bigger table to accommodate our son (high chair) to the server who answered all my questions well. It's a dimly lit (sunlight is king) atmosphere but is great for breakfast. I ordered the Brunch Burger. What a masterpiece. Perfectly toasted bun, absolutely impeccable smash patties and a glorious onion jam combined for sweet, some heat and the pickle for the perfect amount of acid. The potatoes were fantastic. Seasoned perfectly; crispy, fluffy inside. 5* through and through

    Do they have different types of omelets?

    Yes they do and everything we ordered was excellent

    Do you accept reservations?

    They'll put you on a waiting list but by no means do the honor anything they tell you for a wait time

    Is Uncle Wolfie's kid friendly?

    It's too busy usually for kids. Very noisy and probably sensory overload. I would take them to simple cafe.

    This is NOT a conventional brewery tour like the Miller Tour here in Milwaukee or the Budweiser…read moretour in St. Louis. That's because the Pabst brewery closed over 30 years ago and moved to San Antonio. This is where Pabst started and the tour was my favorite of the 3. You can buy your ticket (adult $14) at the coffee shop on the corner and that's where the tour starts. My tour was on a Tuesday and is called the Tall Boy Tour. That's because they give you a 16 oz can of your beer of choice to start. I picked a PBR Light and then we watched a short movie about Pabst. Our tour guide was excellent. I can't remember if his name was Joe or Pat (had long black hair with a beard) but he was very knowledgeable, used humor and made the tour interesting and enjoyable. We went through several old buildings listening to the interesting story of the company (that started in 1844) and the Best family that started it and Capt. Pabst that it was ultimately named after. The tour ends in the nice gift shop. I recommend this tour!

I also tried their fried pickle fries for the first time, I was skeptical since I'm not a fan of Texas Roadhouse fried pickles. Nope these could easily be a swap for regular fries. Not to mention these pickles remind me of the fresh pickles you buy from the fridge at the grocery store. Line dancing was a hit, another mixed crowd. Pleasant energetic and welcoming atmosphere. Even the host and waiters seem to hype it up, particularly if you come in with cowgirl boots. They opened up the garage door that let in a perfect breeze and the view was spectacular since it was a clear sunny forecast of a day.
