Join the Hungry Tiger Team!
Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of The Hungry Tiger family! We are a small, family-owned business that prides itself on supporting our local community and creating lasting connections through our comforting, homemade meals.
Specializing in classic American diner favorites, we focus on hand-breaded, made-from-scratch dishes that bring the warmth of home to every plate. Our goal is to serve not just food, but heartfelt experiences that keep our guests coming back.
Our head chef, Saul Salas, brings over 20 years of culinary expertise from some of Columbia’s finest kitchens. His lifelong dream of running his own restaurant has come true at The Hungry Tiger, with the support of his wife, Tina Salas, who welcomes every guest with a warm smile and a listening ear, and their son, Matthew Salas, who oversees front-of-house and kitchen operations with skill and care.
Together, our family works tirelessly to deliver exceptional food and memorable dining experiences. If you’re passionate about great food, community, and working with a close-knit team, we’d love to have you join us!
why would you want to join the Hungry Tiger Team, you ask?
"I enjoy working at the Hungry Tiger because it feels like a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other. The close interaction with both the staff and the customers creates a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. In the last 18 months, I’ve learned a lot about different aspects of the business, from cooking to customer service, which keeps things interesting and varied. I value the opportunity to build strong relationships with regular customers that make every day unique and rewarding."
