    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

My daughter had the sampler platter with eggs, bacon, sausage, a biscuit, and grits. She loved everything on her plate (especially the biscuit!) but was very underwhelmed by the grits. I had them too and they were pretty bland and needed to be a little less thick. That said, the portion sizes are nice! One meal was plenty to split for my 2 kids. My husband and I split the Katfish and grits along with the red velvet waffles and chicken wings. The catfish tasted great, though it got a little soggy from everything else on the plate. The red velvet waffles were delicious, rich, flavorful, and a hit with my husband and I (and then my girls who were eyeballing my plate.) The chicken wings that came with them were crispy, seasoned, and hot, which is a winning combination. Needless to say, I would highly recommend stopping by! And a quick tip for anyone visiting: try to get there before 9:00 AM. I've heard that it gets lively and crowded fast, but going early makes it much easier to get a table.

What is in them? Delicious with buttered toast. The potatoes were perfectly crisp, and that steak? Seasoned so well, super fragrant, and moist. For a breakfast steak, it's great. Admittedly, it was lathered in butter. Annie's Low-Fat, High Protein Burrito - Not my favorite. It tasted a bit too healthy after that incredible steak, but as the flavor lingered, it grew on me.

Anything you could possibly want is listed on the menu. I recommend looking t it online before coming, just so you can have an idea of what you might want to eat.

This visit I decided to try the fried fish sandwich (made with halibut) with onion rings and french fries and my friend, a Houston native who had never been here, went for the Schleppy Joe with onion rings. These sandwiches were stunning and wonderful. I saved half for to go so I could have their classic New York Cheesecake... the best in the city.
