| - I wanted to love Hash House a Go Go. It just didn't work out.
I've heard a lot of good things about Hash House, especially from people whose opinions are always right on.
I bought a coupon from restaurant.com while I was at work, and for the rest of the day my mouth was watering - the anxiety!
I drove to the other side of the valley to eat here with 3 friends.
For some reason, it was almost dead when we entered. I decided this was a good thing, because you usually get better service.
They bring out biscuits that look like they were baked in a cake pan. Whipped butter, honey. The biscuits are amazing, but very filling.
The menu is overwhelming. I was told to order the Sage Chicken and waffles with maple reduction. I decided against it. I ordered the Boston Hash, which was severely disappointing. I love potatoes in any form. I didn't remember seeing "scrambled eggs" on the description, but they were on my plate. There was some asparagus, too. The fresh fruit was nowhere near ripe.
My friends ordered the ribs, a huge chicken salad with bacon, and the salmon. They were HUGE (But I felt that the plates used for the ribs and the salad should be switched)! Mine seemed more reasonable, which is what I was going for.
The crab cake was no good. They need to use less bread crumbs and more crab. The potatoes should be cut into smaller pieces. The mixture of the potatoes/tomatoes did not work for me, possibly due to the fact that the potatoes were covered in seasoning and the tomatoes were just plain and unnecessary.
They are famous for their huge portions and odd pairings. One thing I did not understand was the branch of rosemary stuck somewhere on every plate they brought out.
The service was horrible. I was eating with 3 people that have worked in the restaurant/service industry before. One of them for 10 years. We all agree that it was horrible service. He was a jerk. It's called HASH House, you'd think it wouldn't be a problem to substitute one sort of chicken for the other on a SALAD. The waiter was an asshole about it. Very abrupt and never checked on us. I gave him the worst tip I've ever given and didn't feel bad. In addition, I couldn't use my coupon because I was like $3 short of $50. Instead of telling me to order a side to go or put a dessert on the bill in order to use the $25 coupon, he ran my card anyway. A good server would've suggested that.
I'm not sure if I want to come back. I think I'll give the gift certificate to my brother, and he can enjoy it.
3 stars because apparently I ordered the worst thing on the menu and everyone else was happy. Just my luck!
Also, the portions and excellent music. Otherwise, 2 stars.
