About Us

Great Food. Big Portions. No Shortcuts.

After 25 years living in Alaska, I wanted to bring the same spirit of bold flavors, big portions, and genuine hospitality to West Dundee, Illinois—a place where great food speaks for itself. Arctic Wolf Ale House is built on the values of quality, consistency, and a no-nonsense approach to doing things right. At the heart of our menu are our smash burgers, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and seared to perfection.

Alongside them, you’ll find fresh wings, house-made sauces, and our hand-battered Atlantic cod, a favorite for Fish Fry Fridays. Everything we serve is built on the same foundation: bold flavors, generous portions, and a commitment to consistency. Whether you're here for a burger and a beer, wings on game day, or a full spread with friends, Arctic Wolf Ale House is all about great food, done right.Inspired by the Arctic, built for the Midwest—welcome to the Den.

"I can’t believe I found this place. The atmosphere is top-notch. A family-owned and operated bar and grill with amazing food! The smash burger is to die for I love it and the theme is amazing. This just became my favorite place in Dundee. 5 STAR"

"The Arctic Wolf Ale House recently opened in Algonquin and my family had a FABULOUS meal there. Everything was fresh and delicious!! I find a lot of bar food places in Algonquin to be fine but not great...the Arctic Wolf bests them all. It's my new favorite spot."

I rarely review restaurants however in this case I had to. The Arctic Wolf Ale House recently opened in Algonquin and my family had a FABULOUS meal there. We tried several dishes:  chicken strips, smash burger, cheese curds, mac n cheese bites, and both fries (straight and waffle cut). Everything was fresh and delicious!! As it's new the staff and owner asked for feedback. I find a lot of bar food places in Algonquin to be fine but not great...the Arctic Wolf bests them all.  It's my new favorite spot.  (Also..they have incredible breading and their fish fry is super tasty!)
