| - Not sure if we came on an off day, but we were all utterly dissapointed with our first time at Hash House a Go Go.
Was really looking forward to trying this place on our last day. I thought our party of 5 would have to wait forever on Sunday at noon, but surprisingly, we were seated in less than 15 minutes. First off, it was like a sauna at the "Quad" and upstairs at Hash House a Go Go. Not a good experience to start off with, and the hostess was a bit rude, saying EVERYONE must be present to be seated. Understood.
We were seated in a cozy booth towards the back, and luckily, it wasn't as hot back there. Our waiter took our drink orders, and 2 of us ordered their famous kiwi watermelon lemonade. One ordered a coffee, and he brought a total of 2 waters for 5 of us, even though others wanted water. The fruity lemonade was refreshing and not overly sweet. They serve it with boba straws!
My friend and I decided to share the famous fried chicken benedict. As a benny fan, I was really excited to try this Man Vs. Food staple. Another ordered the salmon benedict, a salmon hash, and the fried chicken and waffles.
Food came out pretty quickly, and the portions are HUMONGOUS! I was so glad someone agreed to share with me. Overall, the dish was okay, nothing out of this world. The best part was the biscuit.
Friend's smoked salmon benedict was actually cooked, some overly cooked and dry. When she mentioned to the waiter that it wasn't smoked salmon as it said, he got really defensive and said it is smoked, but when they cook it as a benedict, it cooks that way. Friends hash had very badly burnt potatoes, and he agreed that the biscuit was the best part.
Felt bad for the friend that got the fried chicken and waffles. He said the chicken had no flavor and very dry. The waffles had a strip of bacon in the middle, but I think it would be tastier if they crumbled the bacon and put in the batter.
Overall, I would try again, but maybe a different location. I
