we came in on a rainy friday night at around 9:15 pm, after trekking from rogers arena. we were wet, cold, and hungry. hundy is a tiny, unassuming, burger joint, with a limited menu selection. located in yaletown on 1144 homer street, with a neon sign of a finger pointing up. we placed our orders and made the executive decision to dine in, rather than do takeout, as the burgers would have definitely gotten soggy in the downpour. we lucked out, as there are only a handful of counter seats facing the street. we were given a pager-like buzzer and helped ourselves to tap water while we waited. curious about the hidden bar in the back, i made my way through the stockroom and opened the door but didn't go in any further as it was uncomfortably warm inside. our order of cheeseburger, hamburger, fries, and hundy ale took about 15 minutes.
hundy makes smash burgers, they are pressed down onto a hot grill and browned, which makes the burger meat thin, crispy around the edges and super flavourful. these smash burgers are topped with finely shredded lettuce, pickles, and hundy's special sauce, on a soft bun. i am reminded of pulp fiction when samuel l jackson's character exclaims, "mm-mmmm. that is a tasty burger."
their fries are also very good, as it was made fresh, versus sitting under a heat lamp. while we were enjoying our tasty burger and fries, there was a steady stream of people going in to the (not so) secret bar.
hundy is closed on mondays, opens at 4:00 pm and closes at midnight, the hidden bar closes at 1:00 am on sunday, tuesday through thursday, and 2:00 am friday, and saturday.
