Little Bad Wolf - New American restaurant in Chicago - 1541 W Bryn Mawr Ave, USA

Amazing restaurant! The food and drinks were delicious and the ambience of the place cool and cozy! The dim lighting and friendly staff elevated the space and made my visit a great experience. I went on a Tuesday night at 7pm and had to wait 40 minutes for a table since they do not take reservations. However, they have a standing area in the back where you can chat and order drinks while you wait which made my wait time seem to fly by!

Finally got to try this restaurant and we obviously came here for their burger. Aside from that we also tried their mac and cheese and fried chicken with mashed potatoes. The food was very delicious!! Flavor profiles with everything were on point. My boyfriend had the Bad Burger and it has been one of our favorite burgers in Chicago so far (his #1 is Au Cheval). This place would have been a 5/5 but unfortunately we did wait quite a bit for our food to come out, and some of it was cold. Half of the fries were cold, they forgot to add the crispy fried onions to his burger and when they brought them out as a side they were also stale and cold, and then the fried egg on the burger was also cold. That was really the only unfortunate part of our experience. Other than that, this is a MUST try if you're a burger lover.

A few friends and I went around noon on a Wednesday and had a good time with great food. It was relatively busy but service was still quick and we didn’t have any issues. Cool atmosphere with lots of natural light. A friend and I split the burger sliders and Mac and cheese so portions are pretty generous. The spicy mayo that comes with the sliders is great and the Mac and cheese has a really tasty cheese blend.

Nice atmosphere for adult friends to social. Drinks were good. Food was tasty and large portioned. We had the Bad and Wolf burgers and they all very big for one sitting. Mac and Cheese was a steal. Elotes was a bit salty. Service was fast but the wait to get a table was very long even on a Tuesday evening. Overall, it's a fun setting to grab a drink and bites with friends.

I have been wanting to come to this place for so long after all the hype I have heard around it. It did not disappoint. From the outside, it’s very discreet and you enter and the atmosphere hits you right away. It’s a small, cozy restaurant filled with life and style. From the wolf inspired paintings, to the various of lovely designed lights, it really sets the tone. We came on a thursday night around 6 and we were seated for two after 15 minutes. We started with some drinks and they have a wide menu of options, I got the old fashioned manhattan and the whiskey was good. For appetizers we got the charcuterie board and it is more than enough for two (we still ate it all because we were starving). All the ingredients on the board are of high quality, I especially loved the prosciutto and marcona almonds. It was such a good price for everything it had. Then we split the Wolf burger and damn that thing is big ! the burger was cooked to medium to our liking, and was so flavorful. All the ingredients tasted fresh and brought the burger together. It came with fries with a wonderful cheese sauce. I also got the steak bao bun, and the pickled carrots, sauce and steak made for a solid combo. the bun and steak melted in my mouth. What we got was more than enough food but it was so good we didn’t have leftovers. The service was fabulous all around, from when we waited at the bar to our dining experience. The waitress was so kind and understanding to our allergies and double checked to make sure everything we got was okay. Overall it was such a pleasant experience for my birthday dinner! I would love to come back to try more another time ! side note - whoever was playing music, loved the picks! kaytranada and deep house was fitting for this restaurant’s energy.

I just found a new favorite spot to eat. Burgers are spot on and ground on premises. The Tacos, all of them are delicious. Hungry for a salad, you won't be hungry afterwards, I guarantee it. Drink selection is one of the best in Illinois. If they ask you to wait for your table, don't leave, go to their waiting area, and have a drink while figuring out what looks delicious around you to order.

From the look on the outside to the dark mysterious atmosphere on the inside, you get the feeling something good is going to happen. The staff was so nice, especially our waitress Liz A. We started with the chips, salsa, and quac. I split the Wolf Burger. This truly was one of the best burgers I have ever had. My second born said the meat was so juicy, and the cheese was melted perfectly." I always love fries in a mini fry basket and this fry basket was overflowing with some great tasting little fries. My wife had the side of mac-n-cheese. She loved it with the bacon and bread crumbs. The side salad was huge. Not much to it, though, lettuce and tomatoes. The music was a little too loud for my liking buy that was part of the atmosphere. We did have to wait about 50 minutes, but on a Friday night, it was not bad, so it was worth the wait.

The menu is focused on delicious items, with a wide flavor profile, and good prices. The burgers are juicy and are complimented by the crispiness of the fries. Good burger joint good salads. Must visit!
