    Giant wrap
    Jessica S.

    Came for the gigantic wraps with fries in them. Was not disappointed! I'm so glad we didn't have to sit outside in the cold. Service was great!

    Mixed chicken and lamb platter with a splash of hot sce and extra tzatziki

    Always a reliable choice offering a variety of food made to order and a staple for RU veterans, students and families. Friendly staff and attentive staff. A bit on the pricey side but food is flavorful and hits the spot. They have lamb and chicken gyros, fat sandwiches, breakfast omelettes, sandwiches and platters. They offer both cans and bottled drinks. Many people order takeout as seating is limited. There's a bar section where you can stand to eat your food, 3 metal tables side-by-side, and outdoor seating. You can enter from the street or The Yard, wheelchair accessible. Street parking with an easy walk. Parking garage is somewhat a considerable distance so best to find street parking and pay via ParkMobile app. You can order online but it's more expensive. Best to purchase in person and pay cash, otherwise cc transactions incur a 3% fee.

    2 Eggs with Cheese Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich

    If you're from Middlesex county or New Jersey in general then you already know how much of an institution the "grease trucks" were/are. Gone from the days of an actual food truck in a parking lot, RU Hungry is now an established brick and mortar restaurant on the same site as the former lot. Come famished, with a few friends and likely drunk but then leave thoroughly satiated and with great stories and memories. The nationwide famous sandwich Fat Darrel, Fat Moon, of the ever popular Fat Beach( B*tch) you simply cannot go wrong with these all in between a roll delicacies. The nostalgia is flowing here from the original tables and bench's to the pics on the wall. Forever a Rutgers campus legend from the 1970s until present. I'm clearly biased so it's 5 stars for me! Also do not expect pork products here as it's always been strictly halal.

    NEW BRUNSWICK: being alumni of Rutgers University, we still crave the famous fat sandwiches of the grease trucks. Although the trucks are long gone, RU Hungry Rutgers has a storefront to meet the needs of hungry college students and customers with a huge menu of these famous sandwiches. For those of you that do not know, a fat sandwich is a sub roll stuffed with all the ingredients. Even what you would consider a side dish is loaded into the roll! The Fat Darrell was ranked the #1 sandwich in the country in 2004 by Maxim magazine and is still a favorite over 2 decades later. It is filled with chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, french fries, and marinara sauce. There are 33 meaty sandwiches to choose from and an additional 6 as vegetarian options. The menu also includes buffalo wings, greek/mediterranean options, wraps, salads, quesadillas, cheesesteaks, breakfast sandwiches, and SO MUCH MORE! The prices are very reasonable too with most fat sandwiches being under $12, and it can fill you for 2 meals! There are a couple of dog friendly tables outside overlooking the Rutgers campus right in "The Yard" at corner of Hamilton St. and College Ave. Fun fact: Adam Richman of Man vs. Food visited RU Hungry in 2009 to try and beat the challenge of eating 5 fat sandwiches in 45 minutes. Spoiler alert, he lost. You can take the challenge too and if you win, you can create your own sandwich that will be featured on the menu, just like Darrell did.

    Fat Fillippino Sandwich

    This type of spot screamed my name. Researched as part of annual summer food road trip. Appreciated that the menu had numbers on them but arrived at counter and they weren't up there, making things a bit hard to find. Ordered the Filipino which had steak, gyro, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, fries, and white sauce. Enjoyed it. It's not going to win a beauty contest by any means and every ingredient was your standard frozen vibe. But the flavors blended nicely and they were cooked well. The one feedback that I think would make this go from "cheap looking frozen products" to a bit more vibrant would be fresh cut fries. They were very soft and the sandwich was screaming for some crunch from at least one of the ingredients. Glad I got to channel my inner fat kid.

    Western Omelette.
    greg z.

    I had the breakfast western omelette sandwich. Very reasonable price. They still serve breakfast after 12 pm. Ordered from there a couple of years ago. Had one of the fat sandwiches. It burst my stomach.

    The one and only - FAT MOJO!!! - Sub with French Fries, Chicken Fingers, Mozzarella Sticks, Honey Mustard
    Leena P.

    FAT MOJO!!! Just saying it brings a smile to my face ;) Let's take it back to the grease truck days, shall we! It was 2008, freshman year. I come across the "grease trucks". Had 0 clue what they were and how large a part of RU tradition they made up. All I knew was...OMG...they have a sub called the "FAT MOJO" and it's filled to the brim with the best of fried foods: - CHICKEN FINGERS - MOZZARELLA STICKS - FRENCH FRIES - Topped with HONEY MUSTARD This is not for someone looking for a heart healthy meal kk...I mean...it was in the name..."grease trucks"... and it's probably not the best meal to eat every day BUT I think you should try it out at least once, especially if you're an RU grad in the making. There's an option for anyone...they even have salads / veggie items - none of which I've personally tried, but if the fat sandwich isn't calling to you, it doesn't mean you can't try something different. Grease trucks / RU hungry are a big part of my RU experience, they take me back to that time and who doesn't love a lil visit down memory lane...with a FAT MOJO :)

    Chicken Fat Cat Sandwich
    Roxanne O.

    Tastes just like how I remember, just not outside. Though, they do have some of the original outdoor tables and chairs, which are a bit grimy. One fat sandwich can comfortably fill two stomachs, leaving a little room for dessert. A perfect ratio of lettuce, fries, chicken and sauciness.

    They given plastic bags. Very rare in NJ since no one given bags these days

    Fat SandwichNice busy sandwich place in the heart of Rutgers land. This is definitely for every one but you might find yourself in the mist of the younger crowd. Parking is all street. And not easy to find since in the middle of a small block. If you happen to go and find parking in front consider yourself lucky and blessed and at a great time. There's a lot to pick from on the big menu as you walk in. Today I got the number 1 Fat Cat and number 5 Fat Kono. The number 1 is 1. Fat Cat (The First. the Only. the Original)Double cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato, French fries, and ketchup. $10.79 And the #5 5. Fat kono. Which is Cheesesteak, Mozzarella sticks, French fries, marinara sauce. $10.79. Great portion for the price. Taste good but nothing to beat about. Burgers were a little on the dry side. Fries were fresh, hot and very good. The bread was soft and good as well. Because of the location. I don't see myself getting there often because of the parking. But it be a decent place to go and try other sandwiches on the menu. Would have to take someone with me and they run in and I circle the block. Best way.

    This was a fun experience. Food is made fresh to order and is affordable. There were tons of options to choose from. Many were vegetarian. You will have to wait a while to receive your food because they literally begin cooking as you order. The place is small and only a few places to sit inside. It's worth the experience.

    The food was amazing!!! Was looking for a late night spot to grab something to eat and this did not disappoint at all!!!

    Pretty big, but wish there was more meat instead of fries
    Aakash S.

    The fat sandwiches were good, but kind of light on the meat and a lot more French fries. I used to go to the original trucks back in the early 2000's and these just weren't the same as they used to be. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious and I enjoyed it, but I wish they wouldn't included more cheesesteak (only 1 thin slice) and mozzarella sticks (only 2) compared to the originals that's used to load them up.

    I've been wanting to try The Baked Bear for a while, and finally had the chance to last night! I…read moreordered a chocolate chip cookie and a scoop of their old fashioned vanilla ice cream. The cookie itself is thin and smaller than I'd like, but I understand that's probably because they also use them for the ice cookie sandwiches. The chocolate chips in the chocolate chip cookie are sweeter, I'm assuming milk chocolate, but I liked the texture of the cookie. It was what I'd call a "boneless cookie". I normally like soft cookies with a slight crust around the edges, and these didn't have that. But I still liked the cookie! It's soft and chewy, still soft the next day. After buying the cookie, I tried a sample of the old fashioned vanilla ice cream, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The consistency was smooth and creamy and the vanilla flavor was really good. Normally I don't care for old fashioned vanilla because I prefer vanilla bean, but most places don't offer vanilla bean so I end up settling for French vanilla or old fashioned vanilla instead. This time though, it didn't feel like I was settling. I ended up ordering a small cup of the ice cream and the serving size was pretty generous. They also give you a physical punch card for rewards each visit, and you can enter your phone number at the counter, I'm not sure if you can also earn points through your phone number. It's bright and airy in there, even walking in after 10pm. The two ladies helping us were both very nice, one of them offered to give us a sample of ice cream when she heard us talking about trying it. I'll definitely be back, whether it's for the chocolate chip cookie or the vanilla ice cream!

Quick and easy ordering process, staff don't waste any time getting your order & getting to work on it.

On our way to the café, we were pleasantly surprised by a tour of Rutgers. The staff at Hidden Grounds are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They're particularly known for their chai, so my friend ordered a Rose Chai over ice, while I opted for a Hot Dirty Chai. Another friend chose the Honey Bee Latte, also over ice. The chai is amazing--it's aromatic and captures the essence of a proper chai. The Rose Chai was very good too, perfectly balanced! Overall, it's a great coffee shop with a lovely space for everyone to sit and enjoy their drinks.
