    So if you were raised in the 80's like I was, do I have a spot for you. I recently went to this wonderful restaurant and the 80's theme decor is amazing. When you look around you can't help but notice all the little details that have gone into making this restaurant true to its era. Even the restroom was not left out with details. Now the menu is largely breakfast and with many options to choose from. I stuck with the Optimus Prime Burger and onion rings, not out of my comfort zone but still delicious regardless. Because I was working I could not enjoy the long list of adult beverages or the Boozy Shakes they offer. I will be back but when I can enjoy the full range of this place.

    Save your time and money. We waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged and we had to seat ourselves. We came here because the pictures they have online seemed appetizing. Once we were finally attended by the server they gave us a menu that was literally a print out. it took them 30 minutes to bring out their food while the restaurant was practically empty with 5 other people. We wanted to leave but then they finally came and boy were we astonished. The quality of the food was mediocre at best with the sauces coming out in plastic containers that looked like they were canned. Their " heart shaped waffles" were the palest I've ever seen and resembled a raw pizza dough.

    First time I heard of Hungry Like the Wolf was from my brunch gang. I thought it was a joke. After learning about the history at this restaurant and tasting the food here, I kind of like the concept and style. I have been here a few times already. I am familiar with the route from my house. It has easy access from Katy Freeway on Studemont Street and a big parking lot. The restaurant has many attractive banners "lunch $10" that makes me want to stop by during lunchtime one day. Service was pretty good during Sunday brunch. We usually have about 20 people. The waitstaff was able to accommodating us by linking the tables together. Oh, there is 20% tips added to the individual bills, which I don't mind. The prices are kind of high for my budget. But because we are a LGBT group, I find it comfortable to eat at Hungry Like the Wolf restaurant. And, I would come back to try lunchtime menu.

    Hungry Like the Wolf is an 80s-themed bar and restaurant that will transport you back to one of the greatest decades in music history. From the decor to the food, this place is a nostalgic trip worth taking. We ordered the off-menu wagyu burger topped with bacon, cheese, and a fried egg--absolutely delicious. We also tried the in-house Sloppy Joe, which was flavorful and reminiscent of a homemade childhood favorite. Definitely worth it! Service was excellent--our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. A fun bonus is their themed days: Wednesdays and Thursdays feature 80s movies, while Saturdays and Sundays are all about classic 80s cartoons. If you love the 80s or just want a unique dining experience in Houston, Hungry Like the Wolf is a must-visit!

    So ya wanna be hungry like the wolf .... Well ya may not want to Duran Duran your way over here . Look the 80s theming is more so leaning into the 90s they try there best with the 80s nostalgia but like the 80s ... maybe some things should be left in the past . Look, it's fine. The farmers market is... there. You can buy vegetables that look like they were grown by people who care slightly more than your local grocery store does, but let's not pretend this is some hidden gem of artisanal wonder. Half the stands sell the same overpriced honey, and everyone acts like paying $8 for a loaf of bread makes them a locavore saint. The produce is decent -- not mind-blowing, not tragic, just fine. The "freshly squeezed" juice tasted suspiciously like something that came from a bottle, and the live music? Imagine someone's uncle learning guitar mid-set. It's the kind of place you go once a month to feel wholesome and pretend you're better than the people at Costco, but deep down, you know you'll end up there later anyway.

    Came here for an 80's party and although the ambiance is pretty cool, the food could use some tweaks. It's not horrible but could use some seasoning. Prices are a bit high but for the area is not too bad. Service was good and speedy.

    Heaven. On. Earth. I love the 80s and it felt like going home. Met a friend on a Wednesday for an early dinner (5 pm) so it wasn't very busy. One table and a guy at the bar. By the time we left, business was picking up. The interior was perfect. Reminded me of the best time ever - the 80s but not overdone. The tables were sparkling. The restaurant was very clean. The guy working was awesome. Very helpful and friendly. Wednesdays are movie days so the tail end of Ferris Bueller was being projected on the wall. They have a diverse menu. Breakfast, sandwiches, salads, entrees. They also have a few specials $10. Ordered a cocktail called the purple rain and I loved it. I'm not a drinker but this was very delicious. Ordered the meatball on Madonna sandwich. It was half a meatball sandwich and fries for $10. The sandwich was pretty big so it didn't even seem like half of one and the fries were really good - crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. After the movie ended, 80s music came on and it was a sing a long the rest of the night. I also ordered a spaghetti to go for my dad. It was a lot of pasta but needed more sauce. Dad was happy. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guy working deserves 5 stars because he was really great. He said Friday nights they do karaoke and Sunday afternoons they have a dj. There is also a patio area. Def plan on returning soon.

    Completely in love with this place!! From the fun sounds when the door opens, to the awesome drink and food menus, to the 80's music videos, to the decor - absolutely love it!! We had a group of 10 - made a reservation. The waitstaff was very nice, engaging, and dealt with our group superbly! Btw...they serve breakfast all day!

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

He ended up being one of the best aspects of our experience that evening. Our waitress wasn't nearly as good. We started by asking for ice in the water from the waitress since they just give you room temp water. After 10 mins of seeing her serve other tables and ignoring our request, we then figured the water boy would make it happen...and sure enough he did. We then ordered the grilled oysters, which are very lightly cooked, almost seemingly steamed more than anything, but they were very good regardless of the cooking method with the sauces and garnishes and pickle juice added. Next up was ordering the entrees. The menu here is a little strange with numerous vegan choices with strange titles and only a few items with protein. To top it off, there are not many choices period. The waitress explained that the left side is basically the apps, and the right side is basically the entrees. I knew I wanted to try the wagyu flat iron steak which is priced pretty high here, compared to other wagyu flat irons I've had at other restaurants across the US. We couldn't really decide on a 2nd main dish then the waitress mentioned the off the menu special which was a scallop pasta so we picked that thinking it sounded delicious. The entrees come out about 15 mins later, and we take our first bites and we both thought, oh no, if we share the other person across from me isn't going to like this dish because it's too salty. I tried the steak first and noticed the sauce being extra salty, then I tried the pasta and the pasta was way worse, but the scallops didn't seem to be affected. We immediately told the waitress the next time she stopped by....and she just said okay, and walked away. I figured she would go get the manager....but nope...she just kept on serving other tables. At this point we thought to ourselves only the oyster app was decent.....and no reason to look at the dessert menu since we had already spent over $100 on food we could hardly eat. Sure enough, the waitress stops by a 2nd time and asks if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I couldn't leave fast enough and told her we'll skip. Needless to say we both left hungry as the portions were not only not edible, but also fairly small. The water boy also stopped by and offered to turn on the heater if we get cold. Boy, I wish he was our waiter instead. For a supposedly Michelin-starred restaurant, I feel they really got this one wrong.

Food: - Chicken liver pate: 10/10 SOOOO good! The bread that comes with it is amazing too. There is some sweet jam that is paired with it also. It doesn't overpower the main pate flavor, but I could probably do without the sweetness. - Pressed leeks: 10/10 I haven't had leeks too often in my life but this was really good! The sauce that they put it on pairs so well with it and really makes the dish. Must try even if you think you don't like leeks. - Venison tartare: my husband loves tartare and mustard so he loved this dish. I despise mustard and am lukewarm on tartare. The mustard taste was so strong. I hated this dish but I'm also not a good critic for it, so no rating from me. - Pappardelle: 7/10 Simple and classic. Not worth getting on your first visit but a nice dish on its own. - Butternut squash: 8/10 I can't remember much about this dish except that I enjoyed it :) - Pork collar Milanese: 9/10 Like a much better version of a schnitzel - Dumplings: 9/10 Just read the description on the menu and you know it's gonna be good. Ricotta? Brown butter? Yup amazing! Creamy, delicate, but not just a big mush that makes me want to gag. - Lamb ribs: 9/10 Nicely smoked, all around good balanced flavor - Wagyu bavette: 10/10 So good! Tender and juicy. But at this point in the meal, I'm usually pretty stuffed and the portion size is pretty decent. I would enjoy it even more if we didn't always order so many other small plates haha - Mushrooms: 9/10 Mushroom haters, please try this! You may change your mind! It changed my friend's mind that also doesn't like mushrooms. Service: - Always a good time. Checks in but not overbearing. Ambiance is slightly upscale but still relaxed. Doesn't feel uppity. - One time, we got free dessert. We were the last party in there so they probably just wanted to get rid of it. The cookie was so good!

To start, we were lightly scolded for ordering three food items from the menu--we ordered mocktails to start--and between the two of us we don't eat large portions. If you don't think we're ordering enough food, it'd be nice to be informed that the portions are small if you're concerned about us being unsatisfied. As our plates came out, they were served with a perfunctory description of what we ordered and nothing else was said before they rushed off to be somewhere else. We don't expect to be doted on, but the overall vibe was standoffish on a quiet morning. Given they prefer full orders up front for pacing purposes, and our server was enforcing cups on coasters, we thought it was odd that our plates weren't refreshed between courses. I don't mind reusing the jam and butter covered plate to eat my polenta, but it conflicted with what the restaurant is trying to project. Overall, food was good, service was weird. Likely won't be back because Agnes & Sherman is right down the street and is so much better.

Taking his advice I order a filet, Brussels sprouts and a loaded baked potato's for my lunch. My cosmopolitan were great too. I was a bit apprehensive about ordering a steak here instead of a traditional steak house but they did not disappoint! It was a delicious perfectly cooked steak. Literally melted in my mouth so yummy. I like my steak medium but Pittsburgh style and they followed that to a T. The Brussels sprouts were divine as well. I took my potato home for a snack latter. I've only ever dined here for happy hour light bites so this was a pleasant surprise. Will be back soon.
