Full Transcript: Keith Lee’s Hope’s Frybread Restaurant Review Video
And my family are in Mesa, Arizona.
And when we say we come to Arizona, this was one of the number one recommended things to try. This is fry bread. I got it. Let’s try it. Rate 1 to 10.
We spent thirty-two dollars and eighty-five cents. The name of this place is Hope’s Fry Bread. According to Google, fry bread is a dish of the indigenous people of North America. Not me, enough Google. It’s a flat dough bread, fried or deep-fried in oil, shortening, or lard.
My family said the customer service is good. I’mma show you everything I got, and we’re gonna try it and rate it 1 to 10.
Original fry bread, a Navajo Burger Double, and a Navajo Original Taco.
I’mma start with the original, just for like a… uh, what do you call it? Like a… uh. What word am I looking for? I didn’t expect it to be crispy. You can see me, I can see you. It’s like a crackling almost. I ain’t gonna lie, I was not expecting that. I thought it was gonna be real fluffy.
It’s bread. It’s good bread, but it’s bread. It’s way crispier than I thought it was gonna be. I don’t taste the oil nearly as much as I thought I would. I was afraid, ‘cause fry bread, I thought it was gonna take on more oil, almost like an elephant ear. But it’s nothing like that. It’s fresh, it’s clean, it’s crispy.
I like bread more than the average person. But it’s just bread. I can’t give it that high. Seven out of ten.
It’s a burger: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup, mayo, mustard, and two patties. Now, this one does look a little greasier than the other one. See all the grease on that side? It’s decent. It’s crispy, it’s fresh. All the ingredients are extremely fresh. This bread is really, really good. And it’s different. I haven’t had anything that tastes like this.
In my opinion, this is 8.2 out of 10. Damn. That’s… damn. It’s delicious. Mmm. This is seasoned perfectly. I’m with you, like 8.6.
This is the taco. This thing is loaded with cheese, meat, pico de gallo, onions, lettuce, beans. It’s so much in it that I can’t even pick it up. The portion size is crazy. Mmm. You can feed six people with this. This ain’t no one-person meal.
The same thing as the burgers and the seasoning. It’s cheesy. It is soggy. That’s the biggest downfall for me. It is soggy. And we only had it for, like, five minutes, if that. So, that. The fact that I’ll have to eat this with a fork because I can’t even pick it up, even though the flavor is good. For that reason, I give it a 6.5 out of 10.
Just such an overload of the toppings that the bread gets really soggy on the outside. That’s probably the way you’re supposed to do it, and I did it completely wrong. They definitely gave you the fork. For real? That’s really good. I like the burger better. I would say it’s a 7.
And I’m extremely thankful that I came, as always. All I gotta say is, after this, I pray and I hope you reach out to your audience. God bless you. Have an amazing day. Y’all be safe.
