| - So my husband and I remembered seeing this joint on Man v. Food ages ago. We decided to come here not only because of that fact, but there were also multiple locations around the city and the reviews convinced us that we should try it out.
There was no wait for us, but we went around noon on St. Patrick's Day, so it wasn't really that busy.
It took a while to slog through the menu - there were an awful lot of choices and I didn't know what to select. From watching MvF (or, really, anything Adam Richman does), we knew that the portions were going to be insane - and the server even warned us ahead of time that it would happen. So, yeah. Come here hungry if you don't want a takeout box, because nearly everyone had them.
I really wanted the chicken and waffles dish that I'd seen, but I KNEW that was going to be too much. And in light of what I actually ordered, I'm grateful for that decision.
My husband and I ordered the Tractor Driver special - carby item plus eggs plus potatoes. I ordered a vanilla waffle, he ordered a Snickers pancake. (Both items incur a slight upcharge.) And coffee. Lots of coffee.
When it came.... the look of shock on both of our faces. We'd been warned, all right, but neither of us actually knew what we were bargaining for. The attached pictures show the look on my husband's face as he hefts up the SIDE of this gargantuan pancake. I mean, really. It was hanging off the edge of the plate.
My vanilla waffle was not much smaller, either. It came with a small container of sweet syrup and a fresh strawberry. Nice touch.
The food was pretty good, I will say. I didn't notice any difference between a waffle and a vanilla waffle, though - unless my palate is so jaded that I can't tell. The coffee was pretty good. It was all just so MUCH. Obscenely so, really. It's a good thing that I decided I wasn't going to count calories on vacation....
So why only 4 stars instead of 5? Price was a bit steep, though you do get your money's worth. And the server was a little on the "cool" side for me. I don't mind people not hovering (in fact, I prefer it), but she was a little TOO standoffish, which can be just as much a turnoff.
The decor (all silvery with a 'metal' theme) was not up my alley, either. Just very cold and industrial.
Would we come back? Probably, if we feel the need to eat everything in the entire state of Nevada. Otherwise, we'll share a plate.
