Ready to step back in time to the 1960s and ’70s? Whether you’re a former hippie yourself or simply an admirer of the era, there’s something totally groovy about immersing yourself in the colorful vibes of this time period. If you’d like to combine your love for all things hippie with your passion for great food, head to the city of Alpena. It’s here that you’ll find the coolest hippie-themed restaurant in Michigan.
Hungry Hippie operates two locations in Alpena: one along South State Avenue and the other along North Ripley Boulevard. No matter which location you choose, you’ll be impressed by the fare and atmosphere.
This duo of eateries has humble beginnings, kicking off with a food truck that ultimately developed into the two buildings in operation today. As you might have guessed, Hungry Hippie features a fun hippie theme.
At the State Avenue location, you’ll find an eye-catching dome that’s accompanied by picnic tables and a “Hippie Garage” for indoor seating. The orange walls and fun decor here will surely capture your attention.
When you check out the Ripley location, you’ll find a more traditional restaurant building that offers year-round indoor dining. Both locations even feature retro video games that will take you back in time.
Of course, food is the real star of the show at Hungry Hippie. With everything from flavorful food bowls to sandwiches to tasty nachos, there’s something on the menu to keep every member of the family happy.
Dig into “Herbie Hippie’s” taco bowl, opt for Far Out Nachos with teriyaki chicken, salsa, jalapeños, white cheddar queso, and more, or try the Woodstock – an elevated grilled cheese with ham and avocado.
If you’re looking for a dessert or a side, try Hungry Hippie’s tasty brownies or snag an order of creamy coleslaw. Fountain pop, bubble tea, and other beverages round out the deliciously hip menu here.
Whether you’re grabbing takeout or stopping in with the whole family for a bite to eat, a meal from Hungry Hippie will have your taste buds jumping for joy. There’s no better way to embrace your inner flower child.
