Hungry Hippie: Reviews & Ratings
I love Hungry Hippie! The food is always fresh and full of flavor. The Bubble Tea is delicious. Service is topnotch! This place is a local gem! Rockin' Roll Teriyaki Bowl w/xtra avocado & strawberry/pomegranate bubble tea is my go-to! I love this place!
Always my go-to if I have the day off and need some lunch. Their smoothies are always delicious, the employees are always so sweet (seriously, every last one of them). I am always really grateful for their environment and service. Aaand their food is always 10/10.
Ok folks all I can say about this place is it's FAR OUT MAN! Gonna add a plug here for my nieces tattoo shop, the Lucky rabbit tattoo in Alpena because of it wasn't for going there to get my first tat (I'm 60) I would have never got to check this cool place out. What a great experience they both were. They're both true artists. My wife had the Boss Hog bowl and I the Tony Burrone burrito. Too many ingredients to list but I will say this the way they rocked it out was nothing less than groovy!! Just check out the photos. Thanks guys, peace out until we come again because this place is what road trips were made for!!
Cute little walk up, with a seperate place out back that's enclosed to eat or a few picnic tables outside. Fast service. The best damn nachos I've had in forever or maybe even my life. Was feeling adventurous and tried something new and it was totally worth it. I also got a pineapple smoothie and it was really good as well. Super friendly staff, and good service. Busy during lunch hours, decent amount a parking.
It was a tough decision between 4 or 5 stars but I decided with giving them 5. I got the free bird burrito, chips and queso, plus bubble tea. I knew the burrito was going to be different but it lacked flavor which was surprising since it had a lot in it. The chips and queso were good but not special seemed like it came out of a bulk container. I did really enjoy the pineapple strawberry bubble tea. I wish the burrito/chips were better and that is why I was going to give them 4 but the menu did have other items like bowls, tacos, and nachos that caught my attention and make me want to go back since the food was enjoyable just think I didn’t pick out the right burritos for what I was looking for, plus the food is reasonably priced.
First time and not my last time eating there. I'm from the down state and was looking for a local place to eat and came across the hungry hippie. I ordered the backyard bbq bowl, and it was amazing. The service was top notch from when I walked in till I left. The atmosphere was awesome. I love to hippie vibe it had going for it. When back up this way, I will definitely go again.
The service was great and the large box is large, I got the back yard BBQ and it was really good and a good bang for your buck. Bubble tea wasn’t sweet enough for me, but popping bubbles were good.
I’ve been wanting to try this place for so long and today I saw the special posted, the Pierogies, I asked my husband to stop and get it since he was up there. He brought it all the way back to Barton City where I warmed it and it was still outstanding!!! Well done. I knew I was going to love these flavor combos. Can’t wait to try everything else.
