| - .., I've been wanting to eat @ Hash House a Go Go for the longest time.
My gf & I were en route to Vegas w/ reservations @ South Point. When we heard that the M resort had opened up a Hash House location inside, we just had to hit that since it was on the way.
Luckily we got there around noon because the line tripled by the time our pagers went off for us to return & be seated. Wait wasn't too long to get in, we must have waited a half hr.
I wish we would have eaten @ the original Hash House a Go Go in San Diego, CA. Because that way we would've had a better grasp on what they were all about.
The set up inside looked more on the M side versus the Hash House theme in my opinion. Like I said, I've never been to the original location, but I had a feeling their set up would be completely different. It just felt like we were in another hotel restaurant. Nothing really jumped out & screamed "personality".
Our server did an ok job. The wait for our mango iced teas took a while, but they were definately tasty. I had their "Bacon Waffles" in mind the whole time we were driving to Vegas. Even the M resort staff member @ the club registration counter hyped up their food to us. If she goes ga-ga for Hash House, so would we right?
Our food hits the table & the portions were generous, 2 can share 1 dish. Presentation was awesome. We couldn't wait to dive in. My bacon waffles looked very promising. I cut it up, & take my 1st bite... To my surprise it was bland! The waffle itself was fluffy, had the right texture but had no flavor. The bacon inside it was either on the health conscious side, or had no seasoning what so ever. I was dissapointed.
I felt like I was eating @ a senior citizens center because the food just completely lacked flavor. I would have been more satisfied eating @ a hole in the wall breakfast spot that used grease, w/ a chef that had a heavy hand with salt.
I forgot what Diane had ordered, but it was your simple eggs, toast, bacon, & potatoes breakfast. She wasn't too happy w/ her meal either. The bacon on her plate was bland also. Eggs were cooked right but not impressive. The potatoes she had were rock hard! The server even told us it took a while because the potatos prior were too burnt, so he gave us this new dish instead. Didn't look like it made much of a difference. We had tapped one of the potatoes on the plate & yeah, it was definately harder than a satisfied Viagra consumer.
We asked the server if we can just get comped for the potatoes because we weren't happy. They did offer us mashed potatoes, but we were already done w/ our meals, we just wanted to leave. They gladly comped us for the potatoes. Luckily their prices are about the same as a Denny's, if not cheaper. So our total only came out to $20. It was ok food.
This experience made us really want to try out the original. Perfect example of how turning a great restaurant into a chain clearly affects the food.
