The restaurant was very busy and it took a while to be seated. Our food came out in a timely manner though. They offer several gluten free options which is great. I had an eggplant parmesan sandwich. Everything was great but most of the eggplant was tough. Otherwise the sandwich was delicious.
I can’t express how much I appreciate and love hungry hippie. I am celiac and I struggle to find food that is safe. I also eat mostly vegetarian and although I love to cook, it takes a lot of thought, time, and care. Having hungry hippie has allowed me to feel like I have support in this difficult diet requirement. The food has given me peace as well as been amazing. There is variety each week, I’m always full, I’m always satisfied, and I’m always amazed on how wonderful everything tastes. Even if you are not vegan and/or gluten free I highly suggest trying some food! 🫶
The waitress was amazing! I don't remember her name but she was the best. She went out of her way to look through the allergen menu to see what was gluten free for me to eat! Wow talk about sweet, that was so nice and being from OKLAHOMA and not Michigan, being hungry as hell and having 2 hungry kids under 10 with me, and not knowing what I could even get! Scored big points with me! The food the waitress suggested was absolutely delicious and I couldn't be happier! Who knew that potato pancakes were so dang good when you stuffed them with bacon and sausage and ham, topped and stuffed with cheese too! My oldest had the classic big boy which was a hit with him and my youngest had the kid's chicken tenders which was a ton of food and he loved it. Loved the service! Cannot be happier!!
Great food. They have Gluten Free buns as well as offer no bun. Fries and chips aren't gluten free but the slaw is.
They don't have a kid menu, but it IS kid friendly. My kids loved it and said it was the best food ever.
We had the Brie on GF bun with slaw, Build your own with sweet potato fries, chicken tenders with regular fries, and the Wandering By with fries. Everything was delicious.
It took a while to get our food but it was worth the wait and service was excellent.
We come up to Alpena to visit family, and it's hard eating out when your husband has a gluten allergy. The gluten free pizza is so good, and its done super speedy!
As for the non-gluten-free pizza: oh my goodness. So yummy!
Excellent. We ate the Smoked Pork over Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Teriyaki Pork and Vegetables. Quince Polish wine. Server brought me some pickled garlic and it was so good with the Pork. Excellent service. Very clean. Gluten Free safe foods.
