"The best burger here is named after the restaurant’s neighborhood: Whitman. This option incorporates melted swiss and lemon garlic aioli, which makes the burger almost ooze. The bun is light and airy, the patty has a blend that’s smoky and steak-like, and it all gets balanced out with the caramelized onions and arugula on top. One of the best parts about Wolf Burger is that you can come here, down a few beers and a cheeseburger before noon, and find at least five people at the bar doing exactly the same thing. " - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
"Portrayed as a small, working-class burger joint from a 1997 kids’ film, this restaurant is framed as a mom-and-pop operation threatened by a predatory chain that uses an addictive chemical to outsell rivals. The sunshiny 16-year-old cook Ed invents a wildly popular special sauce but is exploited by his friend Dexter, who bottles the sauce and pockets most of the profits while paying Ed only a paltry bonus, underscoring how frontline workers are underpaid and undervalued. The original story functions as an anti-corporate cautionary tale that celebrates worker ingenuity, loyalty, and calling out bad actors rather than simple commercial success. The new sequel revisits those themes as new corporate owners pursue global franchising and deploy artificial intelligence to replace staff, suggesting the film’s concerns about corporate overreach, harmful ingredients, and automation remain resonant decades later." - Amy McCarthy
"The best burger here is named after the restaurant’s neighborhood: Whitman. This option uses a mix of melted swiss cheese and lemon garlic aioli which in turn makes the burger almost ooze with creamy drippings. The bun is light and airy, the patty has a blend that’s smoky and steak-like, and gets balanced out with the carmelized onions and arugula it’s topped with. One of the best parts about Wolf Burger is that you can come here, down a few beers and a cheeseburger before noon, and find at last five people at the bar doing exactly the same thing." - Candis R. McLean
"A burger spot promoting a limited 'Burger for World Peace' that combines bulgogi beef and kimchi mayo with American cheddar on a brioche bun; the item is being pushed on Instagram under the hashtag #SettleTheBeef." - Whitney Filloon
"What began as a modest gourmet food stall has grown into an accessible destination for premium, affordably priced burgers; standout items include the Alpha—double beef patties with tangy cheddar, pickled onions and a signature WOLF sauce on fluffy brioche—and the Forager, a mushroom-forward option with sautéed onions, shoyu mayo, melted Provolone and plump white button mushrooms. The menu is family-friendly and includes offerings tailored for kids." - Dinesh Ajith
