| - Vegas is known for being extreme.
The gambling, the casinos, the people, and most importantly, the food.
The days of the $9 prime rib dinner has been replaced by Michelin rated establishments charging $85 for a steak and French pressed coffee going for $9 during brunch. After a day of eating very well, we decided to hit Hash House because I had heard about their insane platters of food as well as creative takes on classic dishes, such as the Eggs Benedict, for example. We came here for an early dinner since hiking in Zion takes the most out of everyone and we had not had a decent breakfast beforehand.
The menu is diverse with many options so make sure to make your selections. I settled for the Stuffed Meatloaf, my friends ordered the Bone-In Ribeye and their infamous Fried Chicken and Bacon-in the batter-waffles. This joint is not lying about large portions. The Fried chicken and waffles were a good 14 inches high stacked, and that did not count in the sprig of rosemary on top. My stuffed meatloaf dinner was actually two huge slices of meatloaf sandwiching a mound of delicious melted mozzarella cheese, red peppers, and spinach. The small hill of mashed potatoes was a creamy and packed with butter. My friend's Ribeye was done perfectly and the meat tender to cut into. While I found his mashed sweet potato concoction interesting, my plain mashed potatoes would have tasted better with his entrée. The Fried Chicken and Waffles are the sure bet here, however, since the chicken was moist and done right with the amount of spices. The waffles were also very good, crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The bacon bits in the batter were also a nice surprise. My meatloaf was good but lacked flavor, almost as if they forgot to add some sort of seasoning to the mix but everything else on my plate was great, right down to the green beans on the side, which picked up the slack.
I was going to opt for one of their stuffed burgers but when the waitress stated that it was part of their policy to cook them medium well to ensure they would be cooked thoroughly, I decided to pass. I prefer my burgers medium rare.
If you have never visited, do so at least for the experience. You won't regret the visit, not to mention the selfie photo ops.
I'll make my way back for something different on their menu next time and bring a larger appetite! Their breakfast items sounded like an adventure!
