Gilbert was my server. He was so adorable and very knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended the sliders and the turkey club said those were his favorite. I wish I would've listened. I originally ordered the taco Tuesday, which weren't very good but they did let me replace them with the sliders, he recommended and he was right they were delicious. It was trivia night inside so I enjoyed the patio all to myself on this beautiful Wednesday night! Thanks Gilbert! Service was 10/10 Food 8/10 Ambiance 7/10 (DJ on the mic was too loud for the small diner) read more

Finally beat the lines and got a chance to experience this spot! I've had my eye on the Chicken Fried Chicken forever, and it definitely delivered. The garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, and that life-changing gravy made the whole plate worth the wait. My date went with the chicken and waffles, which looked just as good and hit the spot. One surprise, though--when I asked for Tabasco sauce, they didn't have any. With a full bar, I figured they'd at least have Tabasco sauce, but they only had Louisiana hot sauce. Thankfully, the waitress was super cool and let me run out to my car to grab my own, so shoutout to her for the great service. Overall, solid food, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back--just remember to bring your preferred Tabasco sauce if you're picky like me! read more

If you are an 80's baby this place is for you. Very well decorated. Had a JukeVision playing 80's music and videos. Cool menu with themed food. Isaiah gave us awesome information on the area and was super cool. read more

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. read more

Cool place . Good food will be back again. Good service. Nice location. 80's art work.

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. read more

Hungry Like The Wolf - Chicken and waffles - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I stumbled on this place when I was in the neighborhood. My daughter ordered the chicken and waffles which I tasted and I must say the presentation was awesome and it tasted so good. It wasn't sugar laden like others i've had. My sandwich was good too. I went on another occasion and my wife ordered pancakes and omelette, it was the best I've ever had. I had salmon on that day but that was a miss, it was too dry but everything else was great. Suggested the place to my nephew and he loved it too. I'm daydreaming of a visit as I write this review. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We went last night and discovered it was under new management. They changed the entire menu. We decided to stay and try it out. We got the fried chicken plate. The gravy was cold. The fries were the worst fries I've ever had. Everything tasted like it was fried in old burned grease. The French toast was extremely soggy and the hash on the plate still felt raw. Needless to say, that Was our last visit there. read more

You will leave hungry. Not because of the portions, it's because you will never see the food. We came in during happy hour, took 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us. We recieved menus from a waitress then she disappeared for another 10 minutes (mind you this place was completely empty, it was just us). Once the waitress got back we asked if there were any happy hour specials for drinks before we ordered food. She says "yes" and thats it...we just stare ate each other in an awkward silence, then I break silence to ask "ok, what are you specials ma'am?" She says "I believe some beers and a few our cocktails". We look at each other in further awkward silence. I ask "can we get that list of happy hour specials or you know what drinks those are" she shrugs then disappears for yet another 10min. Its now been 30+ min and dont even have water yet. IMMEDIATELY walked out.....save your time. These guys dont care about this place. The owner and management team got to be the laziest crew. My guess is they're riding our this lease until it ends. They wont be here much longer. read more

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!!

Wow! As a card carrying Gen X, I loved this place!! One of the reviewers said it leans '90's. It does not. The decor is perfect. The food was great.

Hungry Like The Wolf - The Screaming Orgasm - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Can't comment on the food, after 50 mins of waiting it never came out. Service was horrible. We told the waiter after 40 mins we couldn't wait much longer and he came back 10 mins later and said the kitchen was backed up and they hadn't started on our order. When we got there, we were one of 4-5 tables. We only saw one tray of food come out the entire time we were there. Manager just stood around staring into the dining area from behind the bar area. We tried to give this place a second chance.....not going back again!! read more

I went for a birthday gathering. I was disappointed that '80s has an apostrophe when it shouldn't. When you open the entrance door, a "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" theme sounds. That's very creative. Customer service was great, and we got separate checks. They held the birthday cake in their fridge too. 80s music videos played on a big screen all night. Breakfast is served all day. I ordered a passion fruit mimosa. It was good. My Greek salad was delicious. I hope they do well. There weren't that many customers on a Saturday night. The bathroom was missing the toilet paper seat covers. They were out. read more

Bow Bow, Chicka Chickaaah... (Yello - Oh Yeah) I never grew up in the 80s, but I can sure recognize enough of the decor to catch a nostalgia feel. The 80s theme is well done. Lots of attention to detail was given - everything from the floor to ceiling is covered in something you might recognize. Even our waiter had an amazing mullet and mustache combination, though, I'm not sure if he did it to match the theme, but bonus points given! The only thing that doesn't match the 80s theme is the price. Either inflation really played a role, or the location of the restaurant forced a higher price tag. For a simple burger and fries I ordered, it was $17.99 before tax and tip (Aug 2023). Not worth it in my opinion, but still a decent 1/2" burger. An old menu I found shown a $11.99 price tag, so perhaps beef prices simply sky rocketed. The fried pickles is where it's at. I would come here maybe for just this. I think they are also known for their milk shakes too, though I didn't partake. Maybe next time! Overall, this is not somewhere I would choose for a quality meal, but instead a fun sit-down restaurants to hang out with good friends or family. With the heavy price tag, you pay more for the atmosphere and experience than the food. Menu options aren't anything special except for the unique names of the dishes (aka Optimus prime burger), but instead just slightly better than bar quality food. read more

My daughter and I love coming here since moving into the city, it's our "mommy/daughter" go-to spot. I get to have my 80s nostalgia moments, and my daughter just thinks it has an awesome vibe . I also love controlling the Playlist for a couple 80s videos. We recently had the pleasure of attending drag bingo last week, with the most beautiful hostess​ Rachel Bit@hface. There was no age restriction listed, so I did ask if it was ok for my teen child to come, and there was no issue. Rachel was very mindful, and extremely courteous to all in attendance. Apparently there was a change in management since last dining, and understanding that I'm sure that they are trying to make menu changes. Change is good, but also takes time. I have had nothing but good and fun times here, and look forward to more. Love breakfast here, and coffee cup is never empty! Can't wait for drag brunch!! I wish HLTW all the best for the future (as long as you stay in the 80s ) 5 stars from my daughter and me (which is basically a 10! ) We will always come back. Thank you for the hospitality read more

I'm not old, I'm classic. And so is Hungry Like the Wolf! Walking in, your greeted by "BABY" literally in the corner (a baby neon pink sign), neon triangles, circles and squares on the black carpeted floor, and a giant tunic cube hanging from the ceiling. Nostalgia hits you like the Tetris bricks stickered onto the front door. The mullet donning bus boy greeted us and seated us. Our Fanny pack waitress quickly came with menus and drinks. And the giant projector served us with classic music videos so 80's that you don't e en know what you're watching. The menu was full of classic puns - Patty LaBelle Melt, Madonna with Meatball Sub, The Stallone Spag and Meatballs. I ended up ordering the Optimus Prime Burger, a 1/2 lb burger with fries. It was a great classic burger with no frills, though a bit pricey at nearly $17. We also ordered the fried pickles (pickle slices FTW!!) that came with ranch dressing to dip and mozzarella sticks with marinara. The fried pickles were perfect crispy discs of savory and sour yumminess. The mozzarella sticks were good, but probably the most forgettable part of the meal. Overall, great service and good food, though a bit pricey. The fun atmosphere reminded me of Saved by the Bell school dances. Definitely recommend this place for a taste of nostalgia. read more

First time here the atmosphere was nice the music videos I felt like I was taken back to the 80's. I ordered the Wagyu Burger & fries it comes with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and fried egg it was delicious. I asked for a cherry coke but the machine was broken they only had can cokes. The waiter was helpful explaining the menu, I had a drink afterwards. It was a Hurricane and it was good, the bar is nice. Overall all I enjoyed my experience, it's a bit pricey for 3 people I paid about $100 bucks. But we are guys we eat a lot. It's fun I didn't get to try the shakes they looked pretty good. If you remember the 80's as kid you like this place. read more

Honestly, the blonde bombshell that serves the customers is a jewel! I never asked her name because we just started talking. When you walk in a sound from the 80s alerts your presence. The walls have pink, black, yellow, blue, alll these crazy 80s colors that brought us to life. I came in on a rainy Friday for a wedding weekend and it was only another couple inside. I ordered the club sandwich which was so good, I wish I could bring it to CA! The red onion onion rings... Who?! Did this!? Loved it I came the next day on Saturday, ordered the same thing but with a drink and it was good. The place was packed with parties but the service still maintained their flow. read more

This place has good food. We had a new waitress for a table of 18 (with reservations) she forgot here and there and we ordered bacon with our burger but it didn't have it so they had to bring it out on the side but by that time the burger was cold. This nostalgic place has great decorations in the restaurant and in the restroom. I would definitely come here again. I went for a friend's 80s themed birthday party. Not sure I saw many customers in regular clothes and not at a party but I wouldn't say no to good food! read more

80s theme, 80s trivia at the table, 80s music videos, comfort food and funky cool aesthetics, recipe for success right? In theory, yes. This place would make for amazing karaoke night, one hell of a themed drag brunch, or an epic themed 80s party, but for a casual dinner spot...not so much. Other than the onion rings, the food was not personally my taste. It satisfied my hunger, but nothing more. On the other hand, the decor and other elements are pretty substantial. The bathrooms are kitschy, and decade specific (an appreciated extension of the dining space). 80s music videos play on giant televisions placed throughout the dining area. You can request songs (for a fee). 80s trivia sits at your table. Between the decor, trivia, and television, It's near impossible to be "bored". When I crave entertainment this place will work, however, if I'm craving a delicious meal, personally, I'll pass for now, but as usual, I'll be back. It's very possibly I just ordered the wrong dishes. read more

Vibe & layout - 5 stars. They really went all out and put a lot of thought into this 80's themed restaurant, from the 80's videos and music playing in the background. To the pink colored walls and diner tables, lockers from high school in the hallways on the way to the restroom. Pictures of '80s rock bands on the walls records so many things. Food: Fried pickles - 5 stars, I've actually never had them but these were, thon, crispy as heck, battered & super soul food seasoned, you can eat the whole basket with no problem they are so delicious! French toast - 3 stars, nothing spectacular, plain thin bread, not super cinnamon or very sweet, this dish falls flat. I could make better at home. Scrambled eggs - 3-stars, bland and just eggs I don't know why I was expecting more Spinach omelette - 3 stars, bland also, plain, not seasoned spinach in the middle of plain, not seasoned eggs, again could have made better at home. Besides the vibe I would not return. Cool spot to listen to music, maybe have a milkshake or something else. Service - 3-stars our young gentleman waiter was very slow and it wasn't crowded there. Maybe he was new, but nothing to write home about. read more

Hungry Like the Wolf grabs you the door with their bold decor! I have no memories of the 1980s, so I can't say if this restaurant accurately replicates it, but I can say I've never felt as thrown into The Max as I did during my visit. While a lot of Houston restaurants are struggling with service these days, HLTW is on top of it! Non-stop refills and our server constantly checked in on us. I see some mixed reviews out there, but no complaints here. We did have to wait a little while for the food, but the front of house team was doing all they could to keep guests happy. Also, I fell for the pun-heavy menu. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster. I would describe it as food you'd find at a office building cafeteria. Not awful, but not food you'd seek out, and definitely not worth paying $16.99 for a sandwich. I got a wrap which was fine, but I'm pretty sure the side of chips it came with were from a grocery store (my guess aided by the fact there was a bottle of Kroger brand ketchup on my table). HLTW is a really cool spot aesthetically to check out! Just taper your expectations for the food. read more

Now if we were just rating the atmosphere and decorations, this place would be a 5 star restaurant. They literally knock the 80s theme out of the park. However, if you want to eat something tasty, on time, or have a waiter, then this isn't the place. When I went with a group, our waitress brought us coffee, which was pretty gross and acidic. We sent those back and I asked for a soda instead. It was flat and I was like, nope not even trying anymore. I think at that point, our waitress no longer wanted to try working or the restaurant didn't know what to do with her. She injured herself, and forgot our table for the rest of the night. Another waiter we flagged said she was injured and had to leave, but she was just serving a huge group of about 16-20 earlier. Speaking of huge groups, because I was by the door that 80s bam bam, chicka chicka, noise is cute until you hear it 800 times, because there is never a server there waiting for people. One group of patrons complained saying they had a reservation, which the restaurant forgot about apparently. Later, we're sent the wrong order, have to do it again, and they look so bothered by everything. The nacho fries were pretty gross, like cafeteria school quality. Like I wanted to go back to the 80s not have the food of the 80s. The waffle was okay. Okay is not good enough for bougie prices and terrible service. One friend had to find silverware for our table, and another one kept trying to beg any waiter to refill drinks or anything. We weren't even a large group, like the group of 16 by the wall. By the time we got our checked, because I kinda begged the overworked looking Hugh Grant lookalike to help us, a waiter came and was mad when he saw that none of the orders were entered right and excused himself. I kinda was nosy and paid attention to what he was doing and it was full on American Soap Opera, like you know our original waitress did something wrong, and I don't know if anyone there knew what to do with her. If it was me, I would have sent her home if she was that badly injured and given the table to someone else. But having her try to do both tables with a presumed injury....I mean who does that? Everyone gets screwed over in that scenario, because the waiter stuck with her table was so grouchy by the time the Hugh Grant look alike told him to help us. I was ready to get out of there as soon as possible. My husband the comedian was like, I'd come back if they comped up a meal for six, because they ignored our group. Nope, not even if they comped our table of six next time, because as far as I'm concerned, there will be no next time. It's really sad, because the theme and execution of it is done so well. However, since it's in Washington Ave and people might just be eating there after the club not noticing the food and service sucks, it may stay open longer than they should. read more
