| - I've been saying for months that I wanted to try out Two Hippies, so when I got a coupon in the mail right before father's day I knew it was meant to be. I threw on my best tie dye and packed up the family not knowing what to expect after reading previous reviews. All I can say, is that I totally disagree with all the other reviews about the quality of the food and service. This place rocks!
First off, I love the decor and the ambiance! There is so much to look at that waiting for your food to come out is actually fun. They play great music - mostly classic rock, and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating to my freakish diet needs. I loved that their microphone system had the "hippy" voice filter that sounds like you're in a glass of water. Kind of hard to explain, but it was really funny.
The food we had was great - and let it be known that I am very picky about my breakfast since the hubby makes a mean fry up. I got the breakfast bowl, which isn't actually a bowl - more like a bare burrito made of eggs and potatoes. It was perfect - not too salty, generous portions, and the ingredients tasted fresh. We got the strawberry smoothie for my daughter and she loved it! I have never seen her sit so still or quiet at a restaurant. She just sat there sucking down her smoothie and grooving to the tunes. I almost forgot what it was like to have a nice meal in public without having to corral a pre-schooler the whole time!
The hubby got a giant waffle with bacon and potatoes, and he was sold on this place. Again, he's a tough critic on breakfast since that's his signature meal, but his comments were the same as mine. Fresh, not overly salted, and overall just nice down home cookin'.
As for the comments about Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils, I noticed that they have a little sign that says they use biodegradable and recyclable cutlery and plates. I looked on the bottom of my "Styrofoam" plate, and yep, there is was - the little arrows with a number in the middle which means it's a recyclable material. Not sure if this is a new thing, but I beg everyone who complained about this in their reviews to give them another chance and actually take a look at their plates.
Sure, it might be better to have real plates and spoons, but if their operation isn't set up to accommodate dishes and washing, then recycling is the next best thing in my mind. They have a bin for cans to recycle, a basket for your plastic utensils to recycle, and used recyclabled material for their napkins. C'mon people, give the Two Hippes a break.
We will be back, and I'll be trying out all their other locations for sure.
