I am from Detroit and as we were crossing over the border and the border guard into Canada told us about this place. Never heard of it and wasn't on our radar. Loved it!!!! Great patio on a nice day. Wife and i enjoyed a good whiskey flight and meal. One fight is plenty for two ppl to try. I ordered the Wolf Sampler. Which I thought would be more than enough to eat but was enough. Wings were good, ribs ok--very small. But the fish rocked. Wasn't expecting it. The tartar sauce stole the show. Even if you don't order fish get a side of tartar for your fries ... I'm not kidding! So good. read more

Our short king server seemed more interested in flirting with my friend than actually serving our table. Drinks sat empty, food took forever, and every time he came by, it felt like another attempt to shoot his shot. The confidence was impressive, but unfortunately the service came up a little short. read more

Great place to take a break from the wineries. Do a flight to try all their products. Worth the visit! Seating in and outside. read more

So so so worth the extra money. The vibe is amazing! The food is delicious ( I got the pasta ) and I definitely ate it all. The tarter sauce is AMAZING! My husband had the fish and he said it was amazing! && can't we talk about our waiter she was perfect on top of everything! 10/10 recommendation read more

Wolfhead Distillery - Pineapple mojito & an Old Fashion- live music - delicious food. A little pricey but SO worth it - Bars Near Me - Amherstburg, Ontario

Really enjoyed visiting the Wolfhead Distillery. The food was great, service friendly. I would suggest that, for a premium cocktail such as the Smoky Manhattan, they put a little more effort in. I was disappointed that cheap neon red cherries were used in place of proper Maraschino cherries. And serving a Manhattan in an ice filled glass is just wrong. Either "up", or on a proper ice block. These little things barely cost anything but they elevate the experience and show that you care. read more

Enjoyed a flight of flavored Vodkas out on the deck area. There was live music also. Great spot for dinner too. read more

Wolfhead Distillery - Bars Near Me - Amherstburg, Ontario

This place has an extensive drink menu in terms of cocktails. You can also order a flight of craft liquors (4 quarter oz tasters) for $6. There are a few local wines and a handful of local craft beers, too. The food is okay but in terms of scope, it's pretty limited -- you can have an app, a sandwich, or a burger. This part of my review is a solid 4/5. However, I was not impressed with the speed of the service: we arrived at 1:40 PM and did not have our cocktails until 30 minutes later. We were essentially ignored after we were seated for 15-20 minutes. We didn't get our food until about an hour after we were seated--so it's not exactly a place to visit for a "quick bite." I should note that we were on the patio without a reservation and there were about 30 other people out here with 3 servers between us all. I'm not sure how that warrants waiting 30 mins for a drink. The service improved after we had our food, though. read more

My last visit was very good. The best dish is the ribs! Do not hesitate- get the two full racks!!! You dont need to share...its that good! The adult root beer is also a fav. They have a good amount of cool canadian craft beers on tap and some in the store to take home. Our favourite whiskey right now is the coffee whiskey which is available at the lcbo. If your new to the restaurant definitely order a flight of whiskey, at $6, you cant go wrong! The restaurant has a cool vibe. I love the decor. I cant wait to try out the patio. The restaurant is very kid friendly and the staff adore our little boys each time we visit. Unfortunately, I haven't yet been on a whiskey tour. Its never offered when I am there. It seems a bit expensive as well. I believe it should be offered for free to a table of customers who spend $100 in the restaurant and $25 in the retail store. Wolfhead step up your game, we spend tons of money when we visit. read more

Even though we arrived after the tours ended, they were nice enough to allow us to sit down and do some tasting. We all were able to agree on two bottles that we all loved and they were the Wolfhead Banana Caramel Vodka and the Wolfhead Coffee Whiskey. read more

This review is purely for their online ordering & in-person pickup during COVID-19. We had planned on doing the distillery tour this spring, but obviously that isn't happening anytime soon. Instead, we ordered a bottle of whisky and a bottle of the banana caramel vodka and took them home to enjoy. Very quick same-day turnaround on the ordering and pickup, and friendly, physically-distanced service too. The banana caramel vodka is a nice treat, and their whisky is delightful. The relatively short drive to Wolfhead is worth not waiting in line at the LCBO, and saving a couple of dollars off of the usual LCBO price. read more

We were touring a winery in Kingsville and saw an advertisement for this distillery. I'm so glad we decided to stop here the following day. The restaurant looks like it's brand new - very nice and clean. We opted to sit at the bar and are so glad we did. We had a very enjoyable dinner with Nick taking great care of us. Two of the five stars are for Nick who was the best bartender and was very knowledgeable about the company and the distillery. We were there on a weekday evening so it wasn't very crowded. The drinks and food were served in a very timely manner. My husband opted for the tasting and got to select 4 choices from their whiskey and vodka. He enjoyed this very much. We were there on his birthday and when Nick found out he gave him the tastings on the house - very nice! I had the perch and it was wonderful. The breading was perfect and it was not greasy at all. The best part of the dinner was the tarter sauce!! My husband had the pork sliders and raved about them. They have a retail store connected to the restaurant and they had some cute baskets which would make a great gift. I thought the banana caramel vodka was amazing but I like sweet drinks. My husband liked their whiskey and said it was very smooth. They are currently a small operation but I know they are going to do well with that great product line. We will be sure to visit again and hope that Nick is at the bar when we do! read more

Located in Essex county its not hard to spot the great wall of barrels as you enter the distillery. Upon reaching the complex Wolfhead has an outdoor patio/space that has love music playing on the weekends. We came here for a tasting tour, where we had to opportunity to try their: **Banana caramel vodka - sweet sweet Jesus was this delicious, alcohol content was perfect. Smooth and luckily alcohol content was less than the other ones we tried. **Coffee whisky, if only you could add this to your morning cup of Tim's or Starbucks this would be a delight. **Grapefruit vodka, I liked this one best, not sweet, but you can still taste the grapefruit. Loved it so much I purchased a bottle on the way out. Overall great place that also has a bar/ dine in area for those wanted to catch a bite! plenty of parking and the ambiance is busy. read more

Wolfhead was a really cool distillery to visit while I was visiting Canada. I had the hard root beer to drink which is made with their caramel whiskey and it was awesome. My friend tried the flight of whiskeys and really enjoyed the coffee whiskey and the banana. We ordered the poutine and Brie tarts which were good as well. read more

Drinks were very tasty, a little on the pricey side but their spirits are all very good. Food was ok, but $18 for a sandwich and salad is overkill. Pretty much all the food is $5 too expensive, especially at $10 per cocktail. Would still return but maybe just to drink on the nice patio. Friendly service so props for that! read more

I have never posted a bad review but felt the need to after my experience. Probably an isolated incident but we waited 1.5 hrs for our Entrées. Watched all tables come in and get served before us. Food came to the table and was subpar. Pulled pork and Mac was dry and not much cheese. Sandwich came with a chunk of green apple instead of thin slices. 150$ with tip for 4ppl for a horrible experience and left hungry. read more

I absolutely love this place. It's a whiskey/vodka distillery with an outstanding restaurant inside. I was blown away from the moment I pulled in the driveway of this place. It's decorated with a very modern feel. The restaurant has big windows displaying the distillery. The food was fantastic. I had a chicken wrap it's served with lettuce tomatoe and a garlic sauce. It's the best chicken wrap I've ever had. The fries came in a nice generous amount as well. My friend had the hamburger and loved it. Said it was very flavourful and juicy. There is a retail store beside the restaurant where you can purchase t-shirts and bottles of their whiskey/vodka. They have a normal whiskey. Very very smooth. They have a apple caramel whiskey. (My personal favorite) they have a grape fruit vodka and a banana caramel vodka. (Smooth enough to drink straight) I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys whiskey and vodka. The service was 10/10 you usually don't find restaurants with great food great drinks and even better service (that kind of thing is hard to come by!) My favorite part our experience here was that the owner came up to us and asked us how everything was. And they're very friendly! read more

Our waitress Brittany was AMAZING. She made our visit so much fun. Food was impressive, and the drinks were so Good. read more

Wow..what a great place. 4 of us popped on on a rainy December day for lunch. The atmosphere is fantastic...warm woods, comfortable seating, great distillery feel (It's attached to one). I ordered the Mac 'n Cheese with pulled pork, served in a bread bowl. It was off the charts good, cheesy...with the pulled pork having a hint of heat to it. Another person in our group ordered Mac 'n Cheese....No meat...she woofed hers down as well. Great cheese combination and the pasta was cooked perfectly.We both LOVED it. Person 3 ordered an open faced steak sandwich...cooked to perfection, with fries. It's his "to go to" dish whenever he comes here. Person 4 ordered the Cajun Beef tips...I'll come back to order these as they looked amazing, plus the person who had them said they were some of the tastiest he's ever had. Wait staff were friendly and made recommendations. Will definitely come back....food was fantastic. Wandered into their gift shop, which sells vodka, beer and whiskey (Banana/Caramel vodka sounds intriguing) at reasonable prices. Meal was very reasonable considering the quantity and quality. read more

Today was my first visit. I'll be honest I was a little reluctant to go but I'm so glad I did. I started with the broccoli soup which often is bland and watery but this soup had a great flavor and a nice consistency. My entree was garlic linguine with shrimp. The meal was simply excellent! The ingredients were fresh with the interesting combination of feta, olives, banana peppers and mushrooms. The service was right on point. We only waited a few minutes between courses. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive, exactly what you want. Add to this, a nice sized patio, live music, whiskey and vodka tasting and very competitive pricing. I definitely will go back and highly recommend it. read more

The food and drink was awesome!! Bought some merchandise out of the retail store....just wish it was open a little later, felt like we had to rush away. But would recommend this place!! Absolutely!! read more

This place is complete trash. Food was cold and uncooked. Wait staff was rude and had terrible body odour and the vodka is garbage .....complete trash. Ask to speak to owner about discounting food because i refused to touch it after waitress threw it back on my table after I asked for it to be re cooked. Owner told me I was know longer welcome because "I didn't know what good food was" very rude gentleman. read more

That was one of the best meals I've ever had. For the appetizer I had the tarts. For the entrée I had the Apple and Bree chicken Panini. And one of their desserts the blueberry compote tarts. For the drink I had the whiskey sour which was so good. There were six at a party and we all shared in each other's drinks and appetizers and I loved everything I tried. The server was excellent she was very informative made excellent suggestions and very friendly. We will definitely return. read more

Omg my fav place to bring company. Always a great place to show off my hometown only three years old their staff was friendly knowledgeable and helpful. I had the chicken pita so good! Better than penalty box. All meals were reasonably priced and their cocktails were all two ounces for a very competitive price. Always appreciate their cleanliness and attention to detail. read more

Have been here a few times. Nothing exciting about the Caesar was basic. The only saving grace was the coffee whiskey. The Caesars tasted watered down. read more

The first time we went here, we had a great dinner, nice waitress, sat outside on the patio - generally a great experience. We tried to go back for dinner tonight and had the opposite. We called at 7:15pm for a table (we are 5 min drive away), the hostess replied with only, "the kitchen closes at 8pm." We replied that we were only five minutes away, it was only 7:15pm, and would be there well ahead of even 730pm, so had plenty of time. The hostess replied with only, "well, you better hurry." And then she hung up the phone. The staff clearly wanted to leave early, given it was a Saturday night. If I owned this business, I would be infuriated that I was losing business at the expense of my staff closing early to enjoy an early Saturday night. We will not be coming back unless / until there is a change in staff. read more

We had a get together of about 20 people at Wolfhead. Everyone loved their meal, the drinks are great, and the staff was attentive. Plus the atmosphere is really cool. Would go back next time I'm in Amherstburg! read more

My husband and I have dined here four times and we keep going back! Food is absolutely delicious and drinks are crazy over the moon good. Staff is excellent too. Make this your next choice for dinner or drinks...believe me you won't regret it. read more

So so disappointed with this restaurant and it's management!! We have had great dinners in the past but this evening was so terrible we NEVER return. My husband reserved a table 2 weeks ago for our 20th anniversary for 5:30. Upon arrival the parking lot was full which for a Wednesday we thought was a bit odd. We go in the side door and enter into a room full of people in the middle of some kind of presentation.... very embarrassing as everyone turned to look at us. We quickly retreated outside and thought we maybe made a mistake. Three people later some manager came out and said the meeting would be done at 6. Ummmm you knew about this why you would not tell us at the time of the reservation is beyond me!!! They did offer a tour with a tasting but NO THANK YOU seriously the worst experience ever. I hope this review will dissuade you from spending your hard earned money at this restaurant. Again so disappointed read more

Had dinner for 6 at the Wolfhead Distillery Friday night. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The meal was outstanding and forget about the drinks which we followed the recommendations of the wait staff. We tasted all of the vodka's and whiskey's which tasted terrific and .bought 3 bottles. Even though the meal was prepared for us I wouldn't change a thing- linguine with shrimp, lobster, scallops and beef- delicious. We topped of the night with and delicious chocolate desert. Do yourself a favor take a trip to this restaurant, worth the drive even from the States. read more

A group of 14 of us went and celebrated my Birthday. Inside Wolfhead presents itself as a small distillery, dining area surrounding with murals dating the rum runner era. Tom & Sue (Manherz) are very hands on owners. Making the night very special for all. We had a very informative distillery tour, then followed up with craft beer, and spirit sampling at the dinner table. Kudos go to the behind the scenes kitchen staff, as well as the servers we had. Meal presentations and freshness was impressive.The menu was varied so all different tastes could be met, the fried Linguine with either chicken, or shrimp was a big hit. Not to mention beef tips, goat cheese turkey burger, perch, pulled pork, calamari. Everyone was raving about their meal, and wanted to share turning the dinner into a buffet. Following was the outside patio where the ambiance of entertainment presents itself. This is a hidden gem and a tribute to Essex county. read more

A group of 6 of us ate here on Friday August 5, 2016 for my wife's birthday. It was amazing!!! The restaurant was packed but it's a very nice atmosphere. A HUGE patio as another option but we ate inside. Tom and Sue (owners) are very hands on and continually checked in with guests, in between assisting the other staff, to make sure everyone was having an enjoyable experience. The food was great...we had drunken shrimp and scallops and the calamari. Other's at our table had the tacos, wolf den club, and the fried linguine. There wasn't one negative comment about the food...all were VERY impressed! Now on to the drinks...along with their own amazing products (vodka and whiskey) they also serve local wines and a selection of beer. Amongst the 6 of us we tried the banana caramel vodka, the coffee whiskey, the apple caramel whiskey, red and white sangria, red and white wines, and a few of their signature cocktails. The food is great but they really do showcase the Wolfhead product line with their cocktails! I personally had a couple of Mojitos and they were incredible. Again all 6 of us were over the top impressed with our experience. Thanks to Tom and Sue for making it a great birthday for my wife and the rest of our party. This is definitely a place you NEED to check out!!! read more
