| - I live in Southern California and have been meaning to try the Hash House in San Diego, but I never had the opportunity. When I arrived in Vegas, I realized that there are a handful of these around, so I had to try it. I of course got the chicken and waffles. When my food came out, I was wowed by the presentation. Looks totally amazing and over the top.
First bites of fried chicken and fried leeks were very tasty. The first quadrant of the waffle was also pretty good. But then, it just got overwhelming. The chicken is unevenly cut, so certain parts of the chicken were overcooked, the center was good, but obviously not as crispy. The waffles were on the soggier side - I like my waffles crunchy. The batter was a little too chewy for my taste as well. And the syrup was just decent. A nice pat of butter would have helped. Personally, my favorite part of the dish was the fried leeks.
Coming from Southern California, of course I have had some great chicken and waffles - Roscoe's, hello! Roscoe's blows Hash House out of the water in terms of the chicken and waffles as separate entities and as an entire well constructed dish as a whole. I only ate one piece of fried chicken and two squares of the waffle, not because I was full, but because it was just so overwhelming. The chicken and waffle both sogged up a little too fast and I decided that it would taste pretty similarly if re-heated in the microwave the next day (I was right). I actually went home and ate a second dinner because this meal left much to be desired.
+1 star for novelty, +1 for huge portions, +1 for the fried leeks.
