The Wicked Wolf of Throgs Neck has served up classic American and Irish hot meals for almost a decade.

"We just wanted to give the neighborhood something they were looking for," says manager Kathy Gallagher. "What it is is comfort food."

There are steaks, burgers, shepherd's pies and seafood dishes. Customers can even find some Italian and German influences, like pastas and the family-recipe German pot roast.

Gallagher says the prices are affordable. Customers say the food is superb.

"You can always come here and depend on a good meal," says Judy Pulicicchio. "Food is excellent."

The restaurant also brings in DJs and plans to throw a St. Patrick's Day party outside.
