Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about how Hungry Dog has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with the father of the company’s owner, Brian Muntefering.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Hungry Dog stand apart from their competitors. We learned that at Hungry Dog, they do not believe in shortcuts. All of their food is local and made fresh.

They are working hard to provide good quality service and food as a means of making their customers happy. Brian said that their mission is to make people smile while enjoying great food.

Building Success Through A Local Following

Hungry Dog has certainly created an impressive reputation, so were excited to know more about how they have helped this reputation to grow over the years. It was no surprise to learn that their local following is a major part of why they are where they are today. Brian shared that word of mouth really is the only marketing they have utilized.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Hungry Dog has managed to. We asked if Brian could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what they had to say:

“Keep it with your locals. Be reasonable, and push the best customer service. Be genuine to what you are selling.”


Congratulations to Hungry Dog for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Brian for taking the time to speak with us!
