So I went to 2 hippies today (6/18/08) and I wanted to really like the place. I loved how tiny and cute it was, despite the drama of driving down Indian School Rd. It was close to the dealership I get my car worked on so I figured why not?
Not sure if it is the heat of today, but people were driving incredibly stupid...and it just seemed so MANIC.
Anyway I loved the decor and for some reason just seemed so out of place that I swear it should have been in Portland, OR or Seattle, WA. Loved the ambiance but I wish the food could have been better. I loved the people who worked the counter, too.
Reviewers have complained about the soggy fries...I didn't mind one bit. If anything it was the super high salt content of the fries that should have been a concern. I got their special today - a cheeseburger. There was a sauce on it that vaguely reminded me of Togo's bbq sauce. The burger was a bit dry and I could see that they precooked it but didn't store it in a steamer to keep the meat from losing its moisture. The burger also had tomatoes on them as well - is that safe given the recall on tomatoes? I digress...anyway the fries...well for me, one can never go wrong w fries except in 2 cases: they are undercooked and nasty OR they are salty. These were so salty that I had to toss them. I nearly wept. I love fries so to throw them away...my greed was in agony -- eat it or toss? I tossed because I didn't want to be laden with an overwhelming thirst on this super hot day.
It is cool these guys recycle, even if it is not blatant. I had to ask the guy behind the counter and he took the cans. He was only too happy.
It was a bit of a trek out to Two Hippies but I am willing to give them another shot - I had their special of the day which was a cheeseburger; my cousin had the same.
The next time I get my car serviced I will go there again...hell, it only cost me $5.00 for a burger, fries and a soda.
PS -- please forgive any typos...this was written into my phone and I'm terrible at self editing.
