A Legacy of Great Bar-B-Q Since 1925…
Wolf’s Bar-B-Q was established at its present location
in 1925 by Nicholas C. Wolf. Wolf’s originally was a wholesale
meat distributor specializing in Bar-B-Q. During the early years,
Wolf’s primary customers were grocery stores and taverns
located in Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.
After many years of success in meat distribution, canning and
packing, Wolf’s First Avenue location was struck by fire
in April of 1946. The entire facility and its contents were destroyed.
Nicholas Wolf, II and Charles Wolf, sons of Nicholas Wolf, Sr.,
the original founder, rebuilt the operation and were in full
swing within six months. In 1952, the two sons built and began
to operate the first Wolf’s Bar-B-Q Restaurant. The new
sixty-seat restaurant had curb service, one of the first drive-up
windows in Indiana, and was staffed by only seven employees.
In 1966, additional dining space for 65 people was added along
with extensive remodeling. In 1967, Charles Wolf died tragically
in a boating accident. Nicholas Wolf, II continued Wolf’s
success with hard work and long hours as the sole owner and operator.
In 1978, expansion construction began at the Wolf’s First
Avenue location, and on November 27, 1979, Nicholas Wolf, II
opened the doors to what was his dream come true. With seating
for 360 people, a private party room for 100, a special “Carryout” area
and complete Bar-B-Q catering and wholesale operations, Wolf’s
became synonymous with Bar-B-Q.
Although Wolf’s specialized in Bar-B-Q, many other extremely
successful items have been added to the menu over the years.
Wolf’s catering service is capable of serving from 1 to
10,000 persons and can create any type of meal for any occasion.
With brother and sister team Terry Wolf and Kim Wolf involved
in everyday operations, Wolf’s continues its success as
a local family-owned and operated restaurant.
