This 80s theme diner is an awesome experience. The glittery tables, the colorful lights, the nostalgic music videos in the background, the barbie photo op - it was so fun! On top of that, the staff was extremely friendly and understanding and made the experience 10x better. We got their appetizer sampler but had to replace the sliders with onion rings as they were out of the patties. All of the appetizers were decent and satisfied our cravings, my favorite had to be the fried pickles. We all got different sandwiches and one friend got the breakfast tacos without the meat. If you are vegetarian, this restaurant still works great bc they're open to customizations and already have a few of meat-free options. I opted for the Philly cheesesteak with fries. The sandwich was a little dry but I still loved it. As a fries lover, I was very happy with my fries and we had leftover queso from our appetizer sampler that went great with my meal. read more

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

I went to their Re-Re-Re Grand Opening. Is 3 times the charm? There's some good and bad about this place. I want this to be constructive input and should be taken that way because there was some good I will also talk about also. The place is a fun spot to drink and enjoy the music. The 80's theme is a great concept.The food was mediocre and nothing really stood out. Our tacos were dry, the wings were ok and the burger was good. The menu ranged from chips & queso to tacos. The crowd was chill and were having a great time. The place was busy but yet they happen to run out of their standard glassware, the tables had a mix of restaurant style cups and to-go plastic cups. The wait staff was nice and friendly. The music added to the 80's vibe. We has a couple of beers that were not cold, a few frozen margaritas that were ok. They weren't overly sweet which is a good thing but it was hard to tell if it contained any alcohol. So with all this being said they need to tweak out a few things and I think they could do better than the last 2 times in their Grand Openings. 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

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

Look for Isaiah and Reyna! I came to the bar alone and they made my night infinitely better informative, friendly, and fast- I definitely hope to come back soon! Karaoke on Friday night was so fun read more

It's really not worth it. Vibe and drag brunch is cool but the food is absolutely terrible. It took an extremely long time to get our food but the food itself looked like it was straight out of an air fryer. I would not recommend. Come for drinks and drag show, ONLY. read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The vibes here are really cool. Nice 80s vibe. It's a super cute karaoke spot. The drinks were good and the staff was really friendly. I didn't try the food but others I was with said it was very good. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

Food was only mediocre. I can comment on this because in my group, I actually got my food. However, other members of my group never got ANY food after a wait of an hour and a half. This was on a quiet Sunday afternoon, and only 1 other table of 4 or 5 people in the restaurant when we arrived. As we started to order, various people were told they were out of things on the menu (Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, potato salad, spaghetti). When it was time to pay, my waiter came over with a phone and called out the total amount of my bill verbally. I asked him wasn't he going to bring me a check? (I'd overheard others mentioning mistakes), so he said he'd need my credit card first! I insisted on an itemized check first. After paying, I realized that several members of our group were just being served, and others had gotten no food at all. It was a crazy experience. Won't go back or recommend to anyone. To my knowledge, no apologies were made by the staff. And yes, the music was deafening. read more

I ate there as part of a group. I was charged a 20% fee. The service was horrible and meal was mediocre at best, the music was WAY too loud. I would not recommend this place to eat. 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

There were 8 of us and the food was very good. Plentiful and tasty. The server was outstanding. We loved the music videos and had a few laughs imitating dance moves. read more

This is a mediocre restaurant that serves mediocre food from a mediocre menu by a mediocre staff. The 80's music/videos was fun, but the volume was too loud. My dining partners and I had to shout at each other to be heard. Will not return. read more

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

The ambiance and staff was really good and nice here. We had a few 80s babies and they were in heaven. Unfortunately, the food was really bad. I mean everyone at the table commented on how bad the food was. Most plates were not eaten or half eaten. 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

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

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

Everything needs improvement. Customer service is absolutely terrible. Been here 3 times. First time my wife and I loved it and the 80's theme it has going on. But the last two times servers are just talking in the corner of an empty restaurant because for obvious reasons there's no customers anywhere. Takes way too long to get any help such as your drinks/refills. Food wasn't as good as our first experience. Just terrible all around 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

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!!

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

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

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. Philly cheese steak was 10/10 according to my date who has been to Philly more than he wants to admit. I had the Madonna meatball sandwich. I didn't eat the bread but the meatballs were unreal. The drinks were great as well. I don't live nearby, but I wish I did. Such a great experience!! 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

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

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

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

Awesome 80's style restaurant with tons of memorabilia!! Blast from the past and 80's videos play on the big screen. Wait staff is friendly and helpful and service was fairly fast.

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

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

This place is unwelcoming. I waited for a seat. There was no hostess. Eventually, somebody told me to sit where I wanted. And then I was later asked to move. At no point did anybody take my drink order. So I just left to eat somewhere else. 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
