| - I like a good breakfast, but certainly not enough for a constant 45+ minute wait. My mom and i decided to have breakfast (well, closer to lunch) here and hoped that we would be okay since it was a random Tuesday in November. Nope. There were hordes of people waiting in front of Hash House as we came up the escalator. We were told it would be a 40-45 minute wait, so we decided to shop and explore in that time. I found it strange/annoying that they don't use the buzzing pager devices to call tables, just a PA system for the last chance after shouting. Anyway, we came back at the correct time and were seated (happily for us, in a roomy banquette booth with a view of the main room). Even after ogling the gargantuan portions on other tables, we decided to have our own items so we could try more and just take any leftovers back to the room. My mom ordered the signature sage fried chicken and eggs breakfast, while i tried the special, a skillet (forget the name) with grilled steak, corn, green beans, roasted tomatoes, and mozzarella, with two eggs over medium. We also shared hot chocolate; it came in a giant mug, was a big mess covered in drizzled syrup, and didn't taste very different from Swiss Miss. Our entrees were both pretty good, but nothing to rave about really. I did appreciate that the steak chunks in my skillet were only cooked to no more than medium. Her fried chicken (their star dish) was tasty, but the chicken we had at Yardbirds the night before had been better by miles. Overall, fun menu but I wouldn't go back unless there was (magically) no wait.
