Like many of my fellow Yelpers, I ventured towards Hash House a Go Go after seeing a Man v. Food episode. This place does not disappoint! 3 people + 2 meals = full stomachs AND leftovers!!
We came in at 8:30 on a Friday morning . We were promptly seated and attended to. The menu is extensive, but we finally settled on two dishes and ordered. We mentioned to the waitress that we had a tight schedule (a 10:00 spa appointment... I know, you're jealous...), and she noted that the service was quick!
Food came to the table and all of our eyes went big. Yowzah.
Corned Beef House Hash - Corned Beef, red onions and swiss cheese tossed with crispy potatoes & topped w/ 2 eggs, served with fruit and biscuit :: The corned beef itself was just okay; I appreciated that they used strips of real corned beef, but the flavor and texture didn't really wow me. On its own, nothing special, but combined with the other items on the dish and it was a winner. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, and the biscuit was flaky and moist. There was fresh jam on the table (score!); the flavor of the day was peach-mango. Peach-mango jam on a biscuit... mmm... YUM.
The Tractor Driver Combo - Two Eggs w/ bacon, sausage or potatoes with griddled french toast, which is dipped in banana cinnamon cream and served w/ pecan maple syrup :: Texas-style toast, moist and packed with flavor. The syrup just brings the whole dish over the top!
The portions were HUGE. We all ended up sharing our leftovers for breakfast the next morning and it was still more than enough. I'm interested in seeing the atmosphere in the evening and trying other dishes. I already know that I want to try: Andy's Sage Fried Chicken w/ maple reduction, 2 eggs, bacon mashed potatoes & biscuit, Flapjacks (flavors include Blueberry Pecan, Blackberry Granola, Snickers, Mango Coconut, Strawberry Frosted Flake, to name a few!), and the Chicken and Waffles. The service was okay; refills of coffee and water at the ready.
I'm sure it'll take me quite a few visits - and regular trips to my cardiologist! - to get the full Hash House experience. But, hey, go big or go home, right?!
