    I love me some Hungry Bros. One of my favorite local food trucks to spot when I'm out and about, my first time having was at Bunbury a few years back and I always enjoy seeing it around the city! This most recent taste was for the food truck rally voting down by The Banks for this years Taste of Cincinnati. My friend had never experienced their take on waffle fries so I knew it was a must try for her while we were at the event. We decided to go with the Vladimir poutine which is root beer and dried cherry braised lamb gravy, Wisconsin cheese curds and the option to add a fried egg which we went without. While making our way to the front of the line my friend made the impulse decision to get the fried cheesecake which was food porn goals if I do say so myself. The fried cheesecake is topped with a strawberry preserve topping which is a delicious touch. I cannot wait for my next stop to see them and hopefully it's bunbury this year. However I know it will be their first year at the Taste of Cincinnati on Memorial Day weekend. If you haven't experienced these waffle fries make it an effort to this summer! You won't regret it.

    Out of the 10+ food trucks lined up on 2nd Street, among the bustling downtown lunch crowd, Hungry Bros' menu is what caught my eye - namely the word "poutine." I always try the poutine at a new restaurant I visit and this time was no different! Their Vladimir Poutine ($9) was DELICIOUS! The seasoned waffle fries were a touch on the salty side but the slight sweetness of the lamb/gravy combination tempered it a bit. (Lamb is braised in root beer and dried cherry!) Also, there was a perfectly cooked fried egg to top this masterpiece. Here are some other thoughts: Price: Main dishes range from $8-9. Side of fries and ice cream floats are $5. Drinks are $2. You can find cheaper food but overall this is the expected prices for a food truck . I'm definitely not complaining! (They give hugs for free!) Service: Really fast service keeps your food hot. The guy taking orders today (didn't hear his name) was super friendly and cheery. Definitely made a positive impression! Food: See above (tldr; Vladimir poutine is delish). Other options on the menu include waffle fries with chicken, ranch and bacon (Kevin Bacon Ranch) and braised lamb sliders! If you come across this food truck, definitely give it a go!

    So glad Hungry Bros came to my office for food truck day! It's clear that their Kevin Bacon Ranch is the most popular (seasoned waffles fries topped with ranch, chicken, and of course, bacon) but I opted for the chicken curry pita (served with a side of waffle fries). This was delicious - the flavors of coconut, cilantro, and scallions blended perfectly together! And the waffles fries are amazing, the seasoning reminds me of Arby's curly fries. Definitely check this truck out when you get a chance!

    Drink selection. Note and most importantly Dr. Browns root beer & black cherry soda. Also, Ale 8.

    I have been waiting for Hungry Bros food truck to open in full force and yesterday on opening day was their "Grand Opening". So when seeing that they were parked in OTR while we were in Washington Park my boyfriend and I made it a small mission to go and find them. I must say, the mission was a success. Their menu had four items on it that day and the first one and the one we automatically decided on trying was the Breakfast Poutine. When handed to us through the truck window with two forks stuck in it my boyfriend and I geeked out from how amazing it just looked. We went and found our place for the parade and sat and took a bite of our Breakfast Poutine. That bite turned into us inhaling the whole thing. The Breakfast Poutine is the best food I've had in a long time from a food truck. Their menu looks to me very unique for a food truck menu. Other bonuses, the guys running the truck are really nice and cool. They seem to be enjoying what they are doing. Also, they have Dr. Browns soda and Ale 8. Basically the best non-alcoholic drinks ever. I can't wait to catch them again and try some of their other food items. Even if you are over this food truck craze like I am, if you see Hungry Bros parked I suggest you try it.

    I was really looking forward to trying the Dirty Fries, (formerly known as the Vladimir Poutine.) Unfortunately the Dirty Fries were not on the menu tonight. Since reviews for those fries are actually what drove our attending the Food Truck festival in Blue Ash, I knew I still wanted to try something. We ended up settling on fries that were topped with Mac and cheese. I do not remember the name of them. They were supposed to be topped with bacon as well, but we ordered them without it. The fries themselves were delicious. They are a seasoned waffle fry. Fries were large in size, and held up to the toppings. I would give the fries by themselves 4 stars easily. Part of what brought our experience down a star was the mac and cheese on top. Plain noodles topped with cheese sauce did not really work as a fry topping. It was not really Mac and cheese. More macaroni topped with cheese sauce. It resulted in some bites having plain noodles with only a bit of cheese. The other part that brought this review down a star was the service. While I do not expect much in the way of customer service from food trucks, the woman taking orders made it seem like ordering was interrupting her conversation with whomever was cooking inside. The whole transaction seemed to be interrupting her conversation. If we were somewhere where Hungry Bros was, I am still curious enough to try the Dirty Fries. Hopefully I will get to try them, and will be able to update this review.

    Vladimir poutine! Get it!

    I had Hungry Bros when I was at Bunbury Music Fest. I had to wait in line for almost 20 minutes for these fries, but they were so good I went back for MORE (yes, I waited in that line again)! That's how you know this place is a real winner. They change their menu regularly, but I've had a few items and I will rank the ones I've tried in order of favorite to least favorite: 1. VLADIMIR POUTINE - Good god the Vladimir Poutine is awesome! Not only is that name just the punniest name for food ever, but this dish just blew me away! The waffles fries were cooked perfectly (crispy, but nice and fluffy on the inside, with a golden crust similar to Rally's fries), the gravy on it was just the bomb, then cheese curds, and a freakin fried egg on top of it! It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth. Get this. Honestly, if they only served the Vladimir Poutine this place would be a 5 star food truck. 2. Kevin Bacon Ranch - Another very punny name, thank you for being clever Hungry Bros. This dish had waffle fries, ranch, bacon, and chicken. The flavor was good, but it was a little dry and the chicken was overcooked. Overall, a good dish, but I would much rather have the poutine. 3. Waffle Fry Sundae - A bold idea that to me didn't pay off. I wanted it to work, just cause it was so crazy! But it didn't...Waffle fries plus chocolate ice cream, homemade chocolate sauce, candied bacon, and whipped cream. I was hoping for a balance of sweet and salty, but all I got was ice cream melting into my french fries and making them extra sugary and mushy. No bueno. Overall, the food ranged from REALLY GREAT to meh, but I love that they are taking chances and trying new things! I will come back and try the reuben fries because I hear those are the real deal. If you can't find Hungry Bros, make sure you follow them on Instagram @hungrybrosfoodtruck. They're always updating where they're going to be that day!

    First time trying this spot after the old Salazar closed - used to be one of my favorite places…read more Overall had a great experience, most of the food was fantastic. Loved seeing some menu throwbacks to the previous restaurant. The rigatoni, beets, bread service, squash & fish were all delicious. We only had two sour notes all night - celebrating a birthday (directly told our server when she asked), and no birthday dessert was offered. Normally wouldn't expect that, but TWO tables next to us got a cake slice with a candle. It felt a bit rude to have our special night missed when others were acknowledged. Our table ended up ordering the chocolate cremeux which had the worst, over-smoked ice cream flavor any of us ever experienced -- mother of god. Not sure why that exists.

    Have been here four times and certainly feel comfortable with this rating. While ambiance and food…read moreare top rated, my experience fell flat when leadership failed to deliver. Walking in a bit awkward. One door is locked and the other is open. One has to guess correctly. The entrance is a little cramped. Goto the left for the bar or the right for the dining room. I've always enjoyed the open kitchen; the focus, hustle, and discipline is admirable and fun to watch. Decor is modern. Feels upscale. One can make this a casual date or dress it up for a bigger night out. All of our wait staff have been polite and are good at timing visits. The food offered here and all of Salazar's restaurants is excellent. Most recently, we enjoyed the lobster rolls, fried oysters sandwich, fries, steak, and scallops. Two desserts were taken to go. Each dish, no matter how advanced or simple, presented with elegance, perfect spice and texture, and spot on internal temps. Certainly it's the excellent cooking that justifies the $300 check that chased this outstanding experience. Everything I've mentioned is positive. Where do the two stars come from? Well in our last visit, we took dessert to go. We utilized valet that Salazars/Mitas contracts. It took forty minutes for our car to get to us. Forty. Minutes. We got ice cream as a part of a dessert to go. While one could argue we are taking a risk, and I agree, we actually had a cooler in the back of the car that was ice cold from earlier in the day. Thusly we felt we were taking a calculated risk. We get our car, see the ice cream is melted, and I go back. I explain the situation to the hostesses. The GM shows up and I provide a gentle explanation. Following this I say I'd like to the replace the included ice cream but end up ordering a couple other flavors. I get cashed out - no apology for the under performing valet, no offer to cover the melted scoop, just take my money and move forward. I understand that nothing is owed to me. I understand that restaurants aren't successful by giving out hand outs. My frustration comes with the lack of recognition of arguably restaurant error, the fact that loyalty means nothing, and that spending nearly $300 (or how much four visits cost in less than a year), including a kitchen tip, wasnt enough.

For the table we had the Slow Roasted Meatballs, Broiled Artichoke, Burrata, and Frommage Fries. Everything was amazing! I wish we weren't too full to order more. Next time I have to try the Gnocchi Stroganoff! Instead of dessert we finished with Espresso Martinis, which had the perfect balance of sweet.

I got the lavender lemonade mocktail which was delicious and refreshing without being too floral or soapy. For dinner I got the braised short rib which was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The bone marrow demi glaze I could have a bowl of that stuff is phenomenal. The broccolini was roasted perfectly but I felt the potatoes could've used more seasoning. My mother got the lemon chicken pasta, which was good at the time, but when she got home it did not sit well with her. All in all, I would come back for the short rib, and I hope Alara finds a new location soon. The inside is nice and romantic seating, but it is cold ... like bring a jacket and it seems it doesn't matter the season it is colder inside because I saw a google review that also mentioned the temperature of the dining room.
