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., there were plenty of parking. Overall it was a good meal at a value price, and that is getting very hard to find these days.

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.

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 the burger without falling apart. The fries were thick, crunchy on the outside, but soft and warm on the inside.
With all this together, it reminded me of home (Texas). Even though I am only here for 4 weeks for work, I will be stopping by again to try their chili dog.

My 2 favorite burger joints are The Hungry Hound and The Happy Hound. Both are very similar in many ways with a few differences. Both also have very diverse menus but both are completely unrelated. This is a Hungry Hound rating. The old boy in the back makes his burgers out of fresh hamburger. He showed me the mix no pie made frozen patties. I got a bacon cheeseburger no onions. That’s how it came as I ordered it. Only thing missing was pickle. Not sure if that’s an extra charge add-on or just not offered. They however were quite generous with the lettuce and tomato. I did need to add my own ketchup and mustard but they have it right there. Would love to see more variety like mayonnaise, bbq and hot sauce. They do charge a whole extra dollar for certain sauces that most places don’t charge at all for so that’s a major down score on points but the quality of their bacon and cheese and the burger meat itself adds major points. The burger was amazing and this may be my new favorite burger spot. No customer restrooms is also another major downfall which not enough can be said about that. Overall, still a quality place to eat and worthy of my 5 star rating. Prices also for the basics are favorable for the type of establishment and within range of similar places. Maybe even on the lower end. They have varying daily specials that looks very attractive as well for a reasonable price. I’m craving going back there right now even though I just left. They also have outdoor seating where you can sit and eat with a pet.

For those who love an old skool hot pastrami sandwich, this is your place! Juicy pastrami and fresh bread with all the fixings! Many great reviews and it did not disappoint! I recommend washing things down with a lovely real banana milkshake. A new favorite and I’ll definitely be back!

This place is excellent I’ve lived here for three years and just found out about it. Best lunch in town the owners are awesome. Huge portions. If you like good food at an even better price do yourself a favor and go to the hound!

Affordable, unpretentious lunch fare, a stone’s throw from Santa Clara University. Portion sizes are big so come ready to eat. I enjoyed a coffee and a hot pastrami sandwich.

I have given this place a few chances, as it is located in my area, and I wanted to support a smaller sandwich shop. The staff members can sometimes be friendly (there’s a man who works here who kindly gifted me free additional food such as fries, cookies, etc.) but there is also a woman who seems to be quite cold towards me every time I go here. However, MOST importantly, every time I go to Hungry Hound, I have stomach issues for around two days, and pretty bad diarrhea. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time, however, now that it’s happened two more times, I can’t call it a coincidence anymore. As I am writing this, my stomach is growling, gut is churning, and I must go to the restroom and take care of this issue for the twelfth time today. I sadly won’t be returning as I can’t keep using my gut as a science experiment.
