The husband and I decided tonight we would use the O’Hungry’s $10 for $20 voucher I purchased awhile back at SignOn Daily Deals. We lived in Old Town for a few years and both work in the area so we are not strangers to O’Hungry’s but it’s been awhile since we’ve been.
I’ve never been a super fan of this restaurant. The food has never been great and the service was generally poor. With that being said, our visit tonight was pretty great.
I didn’t take any photos of the food. I’m not sure why, that’s usually a rule.. Don’t touch until I take a picture! 
but today, I forgot.. instead you get to see my husband’s mug with tonight’s live entertainment in the background (music starts at 5:30 Thursday-Sunday)
The Food
They have a $5 dinner menu which starts at 4:30 each day. You can get baked chicken, country fried steak, spaghetti, or mahi mahi along with potatoes, steamed vegetables and a roll for only five bucks.
I got the chicken fried steak, it was actually really good. I ate it up. It’s the perfect size.. not huge, not small. The sides weren’t anything to write home about.
My husband got the same thing he always gets, unlimited soup for $5.99. They had three soup varieties. He generally tries them all but sticks mainly with the corn chowder.
Drinks
If you know about O’Hungry’s you know about the Yards of Beer, fun… but we stuck with their current special, $1 drafts.. um nice!
Service
They are always understaffed so be prepared to sit for a bit. The server (the only server) tonight was awesome though.. she had eight or nine tables and worked them all without missing a beat. Always friendly, always a smile. She should get a raise (or two).
Conclusion
It is what it is.. think truck stop without the trucks. It’s a good place to go for food on the cheap. You certainly aren’t going to claim it to be the best food you’ve ever eaten but it’s a fun atmosphere in the evenings.. sometimes it gets loud in there (boys watching football, people singing with the band) but all in fun and heh.. they sell beer by the yard!
O’Hungry’s is located at 2547 San Diego Ave. in Old Town.
