Hungry Monk bills itself as a family friendly neighborhood restaurant where great food, sports and craft beer collide. And that's exactly what it is.
It feels like "Cheers" to me...definitely a neighborhood hangout where everyone "knows your name." Whether I stop by for a beer or to watch a Coyotes game, it's a fun place to hangout. Bring friends...or make new ones. It's that inviting.
For me, I like the fact that the employees are super friendly and truly happy to see me walk through the doors. It's a very welcoming place. Service is warm and sincere---and excellent.
They have an eclectic variety of yummy food. Whether I'm hungry for a salad or a plate of fresh wings to accompany my craft beer, the food is really good. I love a good rice bowl--and theirs is dee-lish! The quesadillas are outstanding. Of course, they have typical bar food, or comfort food as I call it, but the quality and taste surpass what I've had elsewhere. You can get a burger and fries or a gyro with hand-carved meat---and dozens of other delicious options.
Something else that I like about it is that I met the owner on my first visit there. Jim--a nice, down to earth guy who loves sharing his penchant for craft beer! His presence adds to the "friendly neighborhood restaurant" atmosphere.
Bring friends, family or just yourself. Enjoy great food, craft beer (many that you won't find anywhere else) and the camaraderie of others who want to know your name.
I am a big fan!! Tell them Jackie sent you!!
