I was so excited to come here because the location is great, and I LOVE their sister restaurants Little Bad Wolf and Gretel. I was completely surprised by how awful the food was. Even if I didn't have the Gretel-level expectations for the food, by Chicago food standards, this is a miss.
I went the first week it opened, and was disappointed. It's funny because the things you'd expect to be rough in the first week like the service was okay, it was just the food that was bad. I went back recently to give it a second chance because I really wanted to like it (once again, love the space, I'm close, and I love their sister restaurants). Awful.
I'll go into specifics: The oysters were improperly shucked to the point where there were pretty significant chunks of shell in them. The Caesar Salad just had 0 flavor... and I'm pretty non-discriminatory about my Caesar Salads. The pizza was very subpar and once again, lacked flavor. The burger is already a mess before it arrives to the table. And not a mess in a way that it's forgivable because the burger is so good. The beef tartare is once again flavorless and lacks a freshness I can get anywhere else in this city.
Also, both times, there was confusion between the host and server as to where they were putting us. It could have been a weird coincidence though, I'm not reading too much into that.
But I'm a slow learner, so I'll give this place another shot in a couple of months. I'm holding out hope because this management group clearly knows how to run a restaurant. I also want to come here soon for breakfast because I haven't tried that yet.

The ambiance when you first walk in was awesome. Customer service was on point for most of the meal (4 stars just because we ran out water a few times and it wasn’t refilled).
The food was so good we ate most of it before thinking to take a picture. We got the NY Strip, Brussel sprouts and the double burger.
The store was closed by the time we finished dinner, so we didn’t get a chance to look in there. But we’ll definitely be going back.

I was a little nervous to come here because of some of the reviews but I honestly had a great experience. Came here around 2pm and the patio was empty with great views of the 606. We got the interlude cocktail and asked for them to make it slightly more savory with blue cheese olives and oh my god they were too good, we downed a couple. The burger was very well cooked, and amount of curly fries that they serve is excellent. 100% will be coming back here.

The 606 pizza was one of the best i've had in years
Food was decent. Our server was great. Drinks were overpriced, $10 for a draft beer is insane.
The manager/host (not sure if he was manager or not) was very confrontational and not accommodating to members of our party. Probably part of the reason for an empty restaurant. We won’t be returning.

The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is a bit weird but is clean and open. The food, though, is terrible. We ordered the wing special on Sunday and a margerita pizza. Though sold by weight, the wings were incredibly small with tough meat and were filled with sharp, split bones. The pizza was somehow overcooked and undercooked at the same time - the crust was charred and crispy with the toppings super soggy and sliding off. It’s my guess that they assemble the pizzas ahead of time and the fresh mozz is just leaking all over before the pizza’s baked.
Either way, not good. I was excited to see something open up right by the 606 but this place really misses the mark for me. Again, the staff was great but the seems too risky health safety wise to eat here - wings shouldn't have sharp split bones and bone shards in them!

GREAT SERVICE & FOOD & ATMOSPHERE every time we go there for Saturday Date Night. Yesterday our wonderful server Gabriel was super attentive, funny and despite how busy the place was took his time to notice that I didn’t care much for my drink and offer to fix it next time we are there. This place provides exceptional quality service from the front door staff ( always smiling) to everyone in between. We will definitely continue going back.

My wife and I went here for a date night and this place is awesome. We rode our bikes right up to the door off the 606 trail and there is bike parking right on the patio level. We were seated right away and had an awesome spot on a high top table overlooking the bar. We ended up getting served by two waitresses so never had to wait to put in any orders.
I got the Basic Beach cocktail which was like a cross between Horchata and Pina Colada. It was delicious! My wife started with a Silhouette and then switched to a Manhattan. All drinks were well balanced and beautiful!
To eat we started with the Penecillin soup which was great, then split the golden beets and the three burgers. The beets were fantastic and the burgers and curly fries were also excellent. I wish I’d have come hungrier so I could have got a bigger burger!
After dinner we went down to the grocer and they had my favorite pretzels (splits!) and really delicious Three Floyd’s canned cocktails (I didn’t even know they made these). There were a ton of really thoughtful items in there, so it’s definitely worth stopping through after dinner.

They lack flavor. Their cocktails are never consistent. The food is overpriced and over cooked. The staff is constantly getting drunk including management and ownership. I asked a certain bartender and told me they were management and owners and all I saw was them was asking for beer and shots and cocktails. This place isn't gonna last do no not waste your money here when you can have quality service anywhere else

This place is the cutest all in one shop. The first floor has a restaurant and a little market shop. The second floor has a bar with an outdoor patio (when the weather is right they open it up to be an indoor/outdoor experience), and coffee shop. From this level you can access the 606 trail, they have bike racks where you can hang your bike while you stop in.
We’ve been a couple time, once for some drinks and snacks at the bar upstairs, and another for this cute little end of summer cookout on the patio where they served up burgers and brats. Everything we’ve tried so far has been good. It’s the perfect stop on the 606, we’ll be back!

Great new spot right off the 606. Most places say things are made in house, they definitely are here! Fantastic bar as well with wide selection of whiskeys and bourbons. They nail everything on the menu from the pizzas, to massive salads, and of course steaks. The sliders are also a highlight with the curly fries.

The space at Wolf and Company is nice and the food itself was fine. My main issue, though, is with their patio policy. The patio is extremely narrow, yet they allow people to bring large dogs. During our visit, dog hair was literally flying in the air and landing in our food and drinks, which made for an unpleasant dining experience. I think they should strongly reconsider allowing pets on the patio, as the space just isn’t large enough to make it comfortable or sanitary for diners.
