Because I did not leave a great review last time, and because somebody did reach out to me and question my three-star review and because fair is fair, I am back. Sunday evening, but not so hot that I cannot eat outside and enjoy the beautiful view. This restaurant shares a courtyard with Montys lighthouse, fajita jacks, and another bar type place coming soon. I was sat down immediately,server came out asked me what I wanted to drink and brought my wine and water pretty much immediately. Already better than last time. However, it was with experienced eyes that I noted there are no customers in the restaurant, which is a shame. I Still think their menu is very limited but I did notice this time that the words soft opening is on the menu. Does that mean they're going to expand the menu? I truly doubt it. I ordered chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies. I ordered a dinner with two sides so I would not have any reason to complain about an empty plate. I'm still not trying to leave underserved bad reviews but I cannot figure this place out. The name 'hunger crush' makes me think big portions, kind of like a burger joint. There are burgers on the menu and that's probably what I should have ordered but I didn't.
While I waited for my food I went ahead and read all the other reviews for this place so far. There are some good even great reviews, but for the most part I think my first impression is on par with what everyone has said. I was worried about my chicken fried chicken dinner because of another review I read but I have to say in my opinion what I received tonight was a good decent portion size. Maybe a little more veggies would have been good but potatoes and the chicken are fine I don't think I need two chicken breasts or a double scoop of mashed potatoes, but the veggies were a little shy. There is another table outside with me, they were finishing up their meal and seemed pretty much okay with the food but the gentleman did give the server a good couple of tips. First, apparently he had ordered a hurricane apparently the server brought it out in just the aluminum bottle, with no ice. Also it is served unopened. Maybe Montgomery is different but in Houston that's a big no no to serve unopened alcohol. The gentleman suggested next time it gets served with a glass with ice and perhaps open because he had a hard time opening it.. good feedback without sounding like a complainer.
As far as my experience tonight, definitely much better, and bonus ! I ordered my wine during happy hour, half price, so that was a solid touch. This place is still questionable, but I have no problem upgrading my review, based on this visit
