| - My friend and I been passing by this place for a while and finally decided to stop in....was it the giant hot dog perched on the roof, the small outdoor eating area where one can sit and watch the cavalcade of weird and wacky folks pass by? Or was it just the sign that said, "Magic Mushroom Burger, Fries and a Drink for $5?" that did it?
--I gotta confess, it was the $5 lunch offer.
But once we drove back behind the joint, parked and entered, it was literally like traveling in the Way Back Machine to when the world was a groovier, laid back place. There's blacklight posters, pulp movie posters, all sorts of doodads, swag, signs, you have you, within the tiny confines of the customer area.
And then there's the food! The magic mushroom burger is exactly as advertised. The fries were fabulous!! [not that I need fries, mind you, but these are cooked in trans-fat free oil, so they're at least a bit healthier...] and the service is extremely friendly.
We've been back several times and have yet to have a bad meal...I even brought my sister and her friend there when they were visiting from California.
Now there's something you all should know about my sister--she REALLY enjoys life!! She absolutely loves the Phoenix freeways, she loves driving along them and looking at the artwork on the overpasses. There's only one freeway that runs through out hometown and it's not exactly all that--
--not to mention, she runs a cattle ranch so she doesn't get out much, but she DOES know a good cut of meat when she bites into one--and Lee Ann really digs Two Hippies!! She even took home some of the Magic Brownies--you know, the ones that say "Don't tell ANYBODY where you bought these brownies!!"
Some of my co-workers even drive up there and bring back take-out.
So come one, come all to Two Hippies--we'll make room for you on the patio.
