| - We met out of state friends there this morning. The Carnival buffet was not open, so they were looking for a restaurant (not a bar that served food) to take us to breakfast. When we saw the Hash House, I said, "oh, I have heard great things about them and they just opened one not far from our house. I've never been to any of them, but they say they are very good" . Bite my tongue.
Naturally, it was very noisy. Two people ordered coffee, one with cream. When she added the cream, it curdled in the coffee. She showed the coffee to a server and asked for a fresh cup. Apparently, they just poured out the old and used the same cup to add fresh and bring her a different container of cream because there was coffee on the side of the cup.
Things went down hill from there. One person asked if it was possible to get an omlette and the server said, no, but they did have "scrambles...and there wasn't any real difference". Hmmmm. He ordered the pancake, which WAS huge, but was unappealing because it did not fit on the plate and was not cooked in the center. The other 3, including myself, ordered a form of the "scrambled". hmmmm. Either the eggs were powdered or they had been in the refrigerator waaay tooo long and had an off taste. Also, nothing was hot.
I was greatly embarrassed. Oh, and did I mention that the cost was, well, above average for a breakfast place? Oh, that's right...it was in a hotel, so it's ok to jack up the prices.
