| - So it seems that people are totally split on HHAGG at IP. They either had a horrible experience with bad service and/or bland food or they had a great experience. I'm happy to say that ours was the latter.
We got there about 7 AM, the place was almost deserted and we were seated immediately. Just after we were seated the server came over, took our order for coffee, water and a large (fresh & tasty) tangerine juice.
When she returned several minutes later with our bevs, she asked if we still needed time to decide, which we did. When she came back we still didn't know what we wanted so she gave us a few suggestions and told us her favs as well.
We like servers who tell you THEIR favs, not just what "other" people like or a list of just about everything on the menu.
After several suggestions she sold us on the Sage Chicken Benedict and a side of fruit.
For those of you who had bland food at HHAGG, I'm so sorry! =( Ours was anything but.
From the bottom up here's how the Benedict went:
Biscuits: Soft, warm and fluffy
Mashed potatoes: half hash brown, half mashed, griddled with a nice browned crispiness
Eggs: not over done, not underdone, just right
Smoked bacon: everything bacon should be; salty, thick and smoky
Spinach and tomato: A good offset to the heaviness of the dish
sage fried chicken: holy yummers!!! Ours wasn't bland at all; it was sage-y & succulent
Griddled cheese: a crisp & tangy blanket of heaven
Chipotle cream benedict sauce: the perfect rich and zesty topping to a decadent breakfast
Oh and the fruit...it was called a small side but it had 2 thick slices of cantaloupe, 4 thick wedges of pineapple, 4 -6 strawberries, several orange slices. It was ripe and tasty, no sub-par "garnish-grade" fruit here; and just $3.95
