Very good food and drink served by friendly staff. Trivia night on Wednesday's is super fun, but make sure to reserve your table ahead of time!

Drawbacks are that service can take a while so don't expect a speedy meal for sit-down and is on the pricey side.

Takeout is great and very convenient for students.

Got takeout from here by phone and it was ready in a brown box 15 minutes later. Very friendly service and delicious food. I think the portion size has decreased since I went last but overall still good!

Recommend: the spin dip with all pita

Great wings, friendly service, and they can handle large groups. Is often busy and full, so try to reserve a table if your are going in on a late evening.

Apart from my fellow pubcrawl goers in UW Engineering, not many people know about this awesome student hotspot.

Highly recommend the spinach and artichoke dip with a mini pitcher of burgundy. Truly a legendary pair!

Good place for the university but the food could be better and the prices are way up there for the quality of the food you are getting. Wish their infamous spin dip was always consistent in flavour and their bread and chips were similar in moisture each time but they do come either very stale or very good.

The service is good when you are with a group but for one person it seems more distant. The take out option is great and is usually quite good for speed. Improved immensely with getting the orders correct over the past few years.

The event they host are quite fun from karaoke night to bingo night it's nice to just chill with a group of people once in a while.

Overall good place to chill and enjoy your time with some people.

Ordered some poutine with fries upgraded to sweet potato fries to go last night.
When I tried them, the fries were so salty as to be inedible. I've ordered this same meal time and again over three years from this place and can't believe they messed it up so badly.
Service was great, as always, but this isn't the first time they've completely dropped the ball on food, in my experience.

We booked a reservation online for a Saturday night, but didn't receive a confirmation until the following Monday afternoon. When we arrived, the place was at maybe 1/4 of its capacity, but they were unsure if they could accommodate our party of 5 because we "didn't make a reservation". After a few minutes of making it sound like we may not get a table, we were seated.

I ordered a Coke Zero, was told they didn't have it, revised that to a Diet Coke, and in the end was brought a Coke Zero. Generally speaking, the food was awesome, but the service was painfully slow. I highly recommend the Daddy Mac Burger with sweet potato fries, it was one of the best burgers I have had in my life. That being said, my boyfriend decided to go for the Green Curry and Rice, and was thoroughly unimpressed.

Overall, if you're looking for classic pub-style food, Wilf's fits the bill. Two entrees and two sodas (with tip) ended up costing $40, which isn't terrible, but definitely not something we can afford to splurge on regularly.

Everytime I've been here for dinner It's taken me an hour to get my food, so I'm usually here for at least an hour and a half, but the food is amazing. There's also the unwritten rule that if you've been to Wilfs you need to recommend the Spin Dip, so... Try it, I guess?

Always a great place to spend a lunch or a dinner. There's a lot of different staff that vary in skill, but overall the food is pretty good, the atmosphere is wonderful, and most of the waiting staff are very nice!!

Friendly service and good value (for most menu items). The wait usually isn't that long and the staff is always friendly. The selection is quite expansive so you're bound to find something you like. They give you a lot of food but the taste is pretty average and unoriginal. I recommend the spinach dip with pita triangles. Stay away from the cajun chicken alfredo, the chicken was beyond dry and they literally just sprinkle cajun powder on top of the chicken breast. Good atmosphere, but kinda hot when it gets busy since there are no windows.

Disappointing service regarding the "Hungry Hawk" option, but my other experiences have been pleasant.

Ordered the Hungry Hawk 3 days in a row for takeout, and each day they managed my mess up my order. Didn't want to complain and get anyone in trouble, however I think they need to work on knowing what is actually included in the choices they offer.

Service is really good, but unfortunately the food is really bad. Don t know why everyone keeps raving about the food, really overpriced and doesn t taste good at all. Props to the servers though, they re really friendly!
