Wow! Just... wow…read more Loved this place from the moment I walked in! Ambiance was super fun and welcoming. The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

A big part of the decades long success at Local Foods has been their commitment to consistency…read more Their casual setting with excellent service is one thing, but quality executed food that is simple and seasonal will always go a long way. Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.

This Mendo location is great!…read more There's a free parking garage attached to the restaurant, but you can do paid parking if you want something closer. Honestly, this place is a solid sandwich spot. You order at the counter and they will bring the food out to you. My favorites are the prosciutto & chicken, the chicken parm dip, & the "GOAT" salad. Really great drinks as well. The staff here are also really friendly. Would definitely recommend this location and restaurant if you like sandwiches/salads in a more casual, but nice environment.

We didn't know where to eat and ended up walking into Mendocino Farms in Rice Village--I'm so glad…read morewe did! Jose, the manager, went above and beyond. He took the time to walk us through the menu and gave thoughtful recommendations that made ordering easy. We tried the "Not So Fried" Chicken Sandwich, and the southern potato salad, it was incredible--super flavorful, fresh, and not too heavy. We also had the Farmhouse Ranch Salad with chicken, which was just as delicious--fresh, hearty, and really satisfying. Customer service like that really makes a difference. Definitely coming back! Wish they had a Mendocino Farms in San Antonio!

Hands down one of my favorite salad/sandwich spots in Houston. They are a little pricey but it's…read moreworth it due to the quality of their ingredients and the size of your portion. A "zeppelin" (salad stuffed in bread) includes 4 ingredients and a salad includes six. You have the option to order a zeppelin or salad that is on the menu or you can build your own. I think it's cool that they make their croutons from the bread they take out to make the zeppelin shape. They also offer bread pudding, soups and specially crafted lemonades. The staff is always so sweet and ask the right questions to ensure they are making my order correctly. I would recommend downloading their app to benefit from special promotions and to earn points per purchase. After downloading the app, they give you $5 off towards your first purchase!

I ordered the Tejano Cesar Zepplin and added double chicken, pickled onions and halved tomatoes with a side of tomato, basil soup and it was all so good. I've never had a zeppelin until before now and it's the best way to describe it is that it's the cross between a sandwich and a salad. What it is exactly is a loaf of bread with the inside taken out so that it's like more of a shell and then it is a salad bowl like mixture stuffed in there. I feel like it's the perfect lunch because It's super filling, but also very light, and healthy! What more can you ask for. Wish I could even give this location 6 stars because I came about 40 minutes before close and he gave me 2 bread puddings for free because they were about to close.

The staff, manager or owner, even takes time to stop by to tables to speak to the guests. We dropped by on Tuesday for dinner. I wish I saw the Icee machine before I ordered my fountain drink! I had the bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and throughly enjoy the size of the burger. The fries were great, generous portion. My husband's chicken club sandwich with regular fries was also delicious! We got the order within 10 mins, didn't take too long. They have big patio seating, clean indoor seating, some arcades to keep the kiddos (or me) busy while waiting for the food. There are plenty of self-service condiments as well. Clean bathrooms, good amount of parking. This is one of my new favorite place for burgers!

They had a good menu, with options for anyone's dietary needs. This is a 100% family centric business. I had read about their story on the website. Highly recommend you take a look. They bring in elements of this into their restaurant with theit kids names throughout the joint. Parking was easy enough, and it looks like they labeled the parking barriers with names of the family's kids. I ran into some of the owners as I waited for my order. They were decorating the back patio, and they have the kids up on the walls too. I walked in to make an order, And left 15 minutes later with everything I needed. I ordered the Montecito, a very tasty chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, and well flavored. I also upgraded the fries. My friends also liked their orders, a different chicken sammich and a vegetarian burrito.

Well, here's a quick backstory. I asked my nephew that I wanted to take his father, my…read morebrother-in-law out to dinner because my sister had recently passed away. Brad, my nephew, who is not a foodie,wanted to pick a restaurant that was reasonably close to all of us. He decided on Hungry's in the village. I said fine only because I wanted to take Melvin out and food was not the important criteria. Ok, about the restaurant. In a word, the food was in the pedestrian class of places that I would have picked. Looking at the menu beforehand I looked for something that the restaurant couldn't screw up. My three choices were Meatloaf with mash potatoes and green beans, Chicken Fried Steak with mash potatoes and green beans, and Chicken Pot Pie with yes you guessed it. Melvin went for the meatloaf, Brad chose a meat and chicken kabob that I hope was better than it looked, and my wife, a.k.a.,Love Muffin chose the trout that was smothered with Pineapple salsa and other stuff Personally, I don't like food that is smothered in anything. The food, as I expected, was mediocre. The waitstaff were very friendly, polite, and came right away after noticing all our waving hands that were visible over a lot of empty tables. The only redeeming quality was that for the four of us the bill was $155.00 including wine. As they say, you get what you pay for. It's not fine dining but if you have a large family and a budget, you can't go wrong with Hungry's for dinner.
