Restaurant environment: 4 stars

When this restaurant first opened, the scene of a long queue at the door is still vivid, until now there is still a steady stream of customers who want to check in. Although the parking area of ​​the restaurant is not large, it is basically sufficient.

When you walk into this themed restaurant, the first thing that catches your eye is two huge billboards of "Bored Apes and Mutant Apes" NFTs. It feels a lot like putting "Rick and Morty" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" together—only now with two apes and a beef burger.

It is worth noting that the "Bored & Hungry" restaurant, which is still in its trial operation period, does not have a toilet, so customers who come to dine must ensure that they have done a good job of hygiene, otherwise they will be helpless.

Menu Prices: 4 stars

Typically, some food trucks or pop-ups only accept cash, but Bored & Hungry has not done so due to hygienic concerns. They accept credit and debit cards, and of course ETH as well as Apecoin (BAYC's native token).

Even though the restaurant's theme is "Bored Apes and Mutant Apes" NFTs, they don't intend to promote cryptocurrency payments. You won't see "Pay with ETH" or "Pay with Apecoin" signs anywhere in the restaurant.

The partners of "Bored & Hungry" restaurant are Trill Burger and Beleaf Burgers, and a total of two menus have been launched to choose from. The Boring Ape Menu, in partnership with Trill Burgers, features traditional burgers and fries, while the Mutant Ape Menu, in partnership with Beleaf Burgers, caters primarily to vegetarians.

In terms of price, to be honest, it is a bit expensive.

In terms of payment, Bored & Hungry restaurants accept ApeCoin (APE), ETH, debit cards, credit cards and other payment methods. After arriving at the store, customers can use the MetaMask wallet. If the wallet holds APE, BAYC, MAYC or BAKC NFT, then You can get some special benefits, such as free packages and so on.

Customer quality: 5 stars

In fact, not everyone knows about this NFT featured restaurant. We observed that many passers-by just happened to pass by and were attracted to consume. We tried asking a silver-haired man in a T-shirt and shorts if he owned an NFT, but he bewilderedly said he didn't know.

Besides, we looked around for other customers, most of them are fans of "Bored Ape" BAYC and "Mutated Ape" MAYC.

Food taste: 5 stars

After the order was placed, we paid in U.S. dollars. Bored & Hungry restaurant said that if you use cryptocurrency to buy tax-free food, we finally chose to pay in U.S. dollars. To my surprise, after just ten minutes, the burgers were delivered to us.

Our "meat" reporter Jason Nelson bought the "Bored OG Burger and Fries" combo, and after tasting it, he gave a very high evaluation:

"The OG burger is awesome, reminds me of Smashburger, and I was born and raised in Southern California so I'm very picky about fries, and Bored & Hunger's fries are pretty good, and another fast food place, In & Out's terrible fries are totally different. But then again, Bored & Hunger sure doesn't want to be the next In & Out either."

"I'm a vegetarian, but I like to sprinkle some pepper and salt on the French fries, which can make the French fries crispy and soft. What surprised me the most is that this mutant ape burger combo is very generous, although the size looks like It's small, but there's plenty of pie in it."

Overall evaluation: 4.5 stars

As a "boring ape" BAYC burger-themed restaurant, Bored & Hungry is definitely a must-see.

Frankly speaking, when the concepts of Web 3 and NFT are mentioned in the encryption industry today, people always think of physical scenes such as artworks and galleries first, and the concept of themed restaurants undoubtedly adds a lot of freshness to this field.

What's more, the food in the BAYC themed restaurant is really good, and the taste exceeds expectations, although it is a bit expensive. However, if you are a diehard BAYC fan, imagine sitting on a bench outside the restaurant with a Bored & Hungry cup with Bored Ape #6184, and it will definitely attract a lot of curious eyes from passers-by.

As Kevin Seo, co-founder of Bored & Hungry puts it:

"The restaurant is a unique way of experiencing what we have created using the NFT concept, and the Web3 community has a great place to meet and face-to-face."
