Visited diner for the first time on Friday at lunch. We didn't have to wait and there were plenty of tables. Very basic place. Order at the counter, pick up food when ready, and clean up yourself. This is definitely a no frills place prioritizing value and quality over atmosphere, so prices are quite reasonable for the size and quality you get. The pastrami sandwich was very big, and the pastrami was soft and flavorful. The cheeseburger was fresh, and the onion rings were fried perfectly. I always appreciate a place that gives me bottles of ketchup and mustard for my burgers. There's no soda fountain, so all the drinks were bottles or cans. You pay a small fee for using credit/debit card, and there's even a $.35 charge for to-go boxes. Since it's in a small strip mall by Santa Clara Univ.,

Homemade style burger with fries, chocolate chip cookie and a drink for under 20 bucks is a good deal. Everything was fresh and tasty. I'll be back to try more menu items. This place has real home style food and the owners were very nice. Recommended.

Wanted a hot sandwich, not a fan of cold turkey and ham sandwiches and I feel like Ike’s although tasty keeps getting pricier and pricier so I decided to try this place out. Ordered the ribeye steak sandwich and it tastes so plain and bland. Would have been nice if they let me add some bbq sauce or ranch to counter the blandness but it’s $1 extra for sauces. Considering I already spent $35 on one sandwich with fries and a shake. They even charge for take out boxes and debit/credit cards. This sandwich tasted cheap and cold. I messed up by coming here.

The true last hope for mankind! They won’t gouge your pockets or wallets, instead they save you money. You get what you paid for and more! Large portions give you two meals in one! Togos, Jersey Mikes, Subway, and Ike’s have no competition with this eatery! At Hungry Hound they don’t skimp on the meat like all those other places. Here they pack all flavor and is good quality, especially when compared to the places I mentioned as well as better than Dairy Queen. The service was great. They are super friendly and kind people. They definitely work hard and quickly too. Oh Hungry Hound why can’t you have more locations? They also have a selection of ice cream/popsicles. Yum! Till we meet again! Thanks Hungry Hound you are the best and I hope you last forever in this changing world.

From the time you walk in you can smell the small town scent. The place is decorated with beautiful wooden tables and benches, like what you would find at a country cookout. The lady who took my order was pleasant, and I asked for a suggestion and she told me the burger, so I took it. The price was ok, being from Texas it was a bit expensive but I understand why. In total it was 17.95 for a burger, fries and drink. It was only about a five minute wait, but I was shocked at the portion that I was given. It was big, and I can tell you that I had to sit for about 10 minutes after I had finished eating because I was so full. The burger was juicy, and wasn't greasy at all. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy like they had just been picked. The bread was soft and held up to the juices of th
