I think the main reason why I go to Hungry's is for their hummus and pita bread. I don't normally like hummus and the hummus here is the only one that I will eat. And crave! I think it has something to do with the fact that they use white beans instead of chick peas. It gives it a more smooth and creamy texture. Also, it's not as tart and lemony per the hummus norm. And man, that pita bread! Even that tastes a lot better than other pita breads that I've had. There's just something about it. The restaurant itself is cute and quaint. It's not super trendy and over the top like most places sprouting up around town. I've had good servers as well as bad servers but never any rude or mean servers. The bad servers are the ones who try really hard to be good servers but they just never seem to remember anything. You know. Those types. But they're always so nice that you just can't get upset over the little things. A lot of items on the menu will have a heart next to it, which means that it's healthy! So you end up feeling better about what you eat. I always end up ordering things sans heart. Cos I'm cold like that. Parking pretty much socks. The lot is small and so you're almost forced into valeting your car. If you want though, there's usually some open spots at the church parking lot across the street. The one weird thing is when go there for lunch, you have the option of either ordering at the counter or sit down and do the whole server thing. Why not just have one or the other? Cos the folks who order at the counter will sit at table and bother the servers anyway cos they're gonna need this and that. Well, whatever works for them.
They usually have these owls perched outside so that the squirrels won't be pesky to the people dining al fresco. But, I think the squirrels are on to the authenticity of these owls cos it ain't working!
Yummy hummus and pita!
The tomato basil soup isn't so good. Slightly on the watery side. Needs to be more viscous.
