After a short but successful run, Hungry in Hampton Roads has closed for the foreseeable future. We would like to thank our loyal patrons, and we may be back.
Or maybe not.
Regardless: stop eating at lousy chain joints and support your local restaurants. They may have their shortcomings, but they are your neighbors, and they deserve your business far, far and above the corporate restaurant conglomerates … which we shall continue to wage war upon.
Just not here.
