One of my very favorite breakfasts of the year! The staff are so nice and warm despite how busy the place gets. I lucked into a seat at the bar by the kitchen, so I enjoyed a nice preview of all the dishes before ordering. This was the best way to start my birthday!

It was our first time at Uncle Wolfie. First, we had to wait about 45 minutes to an hour. Thankfully, it was nice outside so the wait wasn’t bad at all. I had a lot to talk about so it really was all good. We finally got seated, and the wonderful service began. Our waitress was awesome and incredibly cool. She was very knowledgeable of the menu so we weren’t loss in the sauce. I had wolfe’s big breakfast which included the the huge house potatoes, scrambled eggs, huge sausages and a big ole’ pancake. The meal was so fulfilling. My friend had the biscuits and sausage gravy. Everything was soooo good. This place is everything wonderful!!

Had an hour wait, but worth it! Food was decadent and tasty! The Tavern potatoes were crispy yet melted in your mouth. I dipped mine in the garlic aoili. I had the BELCH and my husband and the Wolfundido. Both were amazing. We attempted to split a pancake, but we were too full to finish. The pancake was unique since it was made with cornmeal. It tasted like a delicious cornbread pancake. Highly recommend.

Tried this gem on a Friday during Harley Fest weekend. We had a short wait upon arriving around 9:30am but shortly after, they had over an hour wait for a table. The outdoor dining tables were open to those waiting, and they could order beverages during the wait. We were seated at a small table for 2 near the entrance. Our waiter was friendly and prompt. We enjoyed an iced coffee, and then shared the Early Wolf Special. The portions were huge. The side of potatoes soaked in the ham juice on the plate was so savory and packed with flavor. The potatoes had a slightly crispy outside but tender inside. One of the best potatoes I've had. The jam for the toast tasted homemade as well. I enjoyed the diversity of the diners and the old, eclectic vibe of the tavern/restaurant. There's a small shop with local goods in the back so we each left with a piece of jewelry too. We can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.

First time here and I ordered the wolfundido, wow what a delight that was, the flavors were well balanced and it just worked for me, my mom ordered the biscuits and gravy and seemed happy with her choice, we also got two orders to go and our server made sure we were taken care of, so the big question is will I go back and the answer is yes absolutely

Loved this restaurant! There was of course a wait, we went on a Saturday morning, but it was well worth the wait! I got the Ube Toast Crunch Oatmeal and my husband got Big Wolf Breakfast. My husband loved his dish but that oatmeal was to die for. My husband tried a bite and said, " This is the best oatmeal I have ever had in my life." We would eat here again in a heartbeat

Tucked away on Brewers Hill, in what appears to be an old renovated House is Uncle Wolfie's breakfast Tavern, let me tell you, I've never had better sunny side up eggs. The sausage is smoky and yet sweet, delicious, and savory and the sourdough bread while smothered in butter has been crisply toasted on the flat top. Their big Tavern potatoes are simply boiled smashed and probably fried which goes great with the ketchup. The ketchup is in a glass bottle, huge Plus There's no single use plastic to be seen at the restaurant. The to-go box was made out of paper, also, huge Plus. I'm a big fan of the granite countertops. They had hooks underneath to hang your purse, your jacket. Overall, I see why the place is always packed with a line out the door. I will definitely be returning. Doubles espresso $3.25

Have to preface this rating of 4 stars by saying that the only reason it's not a 5 was the wait time. Upon arrival we were told the wait for any kind of seat was 20 minutes. After waiting 35 min to be seated we ordered and then waited at least another 30 minutes for our food. Outside of that everything else was 5 stars. The place is cozy, the service was good and the food was great. Looking forward to going back when it's not so busy. IMO, I'd say stay away from Sunday mid mornings.
