Hash House A Go Go

It is the self-professed home of twisted farm food. I say twisted, experimental, bold, even dangerous. My informant on this unconventional adventure was our server, Judy. She had just started working at Hash House but a few days before my visit, and was happy to share some of her most interesting observations. "I love working here. I'm proud of the product they offer." Judy has every reason to be proud. The first thing I noticed after the bright orange tractor that greets you as soon as you step inside was the odd way the tables were set. The napkins were placed in a crisscross pattern, and the utensils presented as farming implements ready for labor or swords ready for battle. The next source of pleasure came when I learned their monster breakfast installations were offered all day, and we all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, no matter what time you have it. And folks, this menu is epic. If you're a hard core foodie, it reads like Michener. I swear I could smell the farm freshness just from looking at the dish descriptions. I would feel sorry for you if your mouth didn't water at the words "Stuffed Hash House Meatloaf, with roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and marsala cream sauce." Marsala cream sauce, really? My apologies for drooling as I write. Or "Crispy Indiana Hand Hammered Pork Tenderloin Benedict on a massive biscuit dressed in yellow tomato, spinach, barbecue cream, and basted eggs." Pure poetry. John boldly faced the Sage Fried Chicken and Waffles, a massive tower of waffles, two fried chicken breasts, drizzled with a hot maple reduction, and fried leeks. The chicken was juicy and tender under the heavy breading, the waffles contained bacon, a favorite of John's, and I brazenly stole the fried leeks from his plate, and fell in love in a hurry. I see why this leviathan got the New York Times' seal of approval. Along with a divine Spiked Strawberry Kiwi Lemonade, I had the farm eggs Benedict with House smoked salmon and sundried tomatoes. I asked for a substitution of the chili cream for a Hollandaise, and I was told, almost in a whisper, that the chef/ kitchen manager, Andreas Feliciano, is peculiar about changes to his compositions. Anywhere else I would consider that a strike against the restaurant, but here it earns my respect. I totally understand that any alteration to these works of culinary art would be an artistic and unnecessary crime. I have this image of a mad scientist in an experimental kitchen, admiring his own creations in manic worship. Still, the kitchen staff did their best to accommodate me, removed the chili sauce, and gave me blue cheese dressing on the side. Our dessert choice, Andy's famous bread pudding, was another audacious interpretation of an otherwise commonplace treat. It was warm, chocolatey, and mushy, which I like in bread pudding, especially with melting ice cream and chocolate sauce. And it was enormous. Six people would do it justice. We had to take three quarters of it home, and eat the ice cream or lose it. And on the subject of portion size, they are bordering on obscene. It's done on purpose to evoke a farmer's supper plate after a long workday on the farm. Hash House is what we think of as a dining experience, not just a restaurant. It's entertainment. It's exploration. It's unforgettable. From the blog For the Love of Food! BB Free ©2018

Great food, good service (even when very crowded) and a great large family/group venue. Definitely not a venue for a quiet & intimate dinner for two, but if you're looking for a creative and large portioned meal at a reasonable price, this is your place! My only "complaint" would be that there were some great looking items that are only available after 5PM...but that's not much of a complaint.

Make sure you're in the right turning lane or you'll drive by it fooling with the buses.They do huge portions here, and the food is seriously good. I had the Garmer's Garden for my drink. Excellent & refreshing. For entrees, I had the Andy's Sage Chicken & Eggs, "Nashville Hot." They did spice the chicken up, but it wasn't as hot as they claimed it would be. But it was seriously good food, on a big plate. My wife had the Andy's Famous Chicken & Waffles Tower. That was also really good, according to her. It was so much that she took half in a to-go box. Our server was great, and they get the food out fast. Was very busy on a Friday morning. They also do valet parking if you need it. I'd come back for more though.

You gotta try this place!! The food is huge. The drinks are delicious! The service is wonderful! I got the Andy's Sage Chicken Benedict, and it was worth every penny. Make sure you come hungry. They also take your photos there as a souvenir, so make sure to bring cash. The only problem with the photos is that they take it AFTER you eat, so you'll have half eaten plates instead of showing what you ordered as soon as it arrives. There is valet parking (you'll need it) because there is hardly to no parking. It's worth it though.

This restaurant is a fun experience Three of us ate one meal, Andy's chicken and waffles. You get four full size waffles plus two large breaded chicken breasts for around $28. The food tasted good, came with fried leaks and plenty of sugar reduction syrup. The drink was delicious too. Part of the fun here is seeing people when their large plate of food arrives, it usually brings a surprised expression with the size of it.

Came here to celebrate my husband’s birthday with an early breakfast. Amazed at the huge tractor at the entrance as we did not know the story or the theme of the restaurant. Greeted warmly by the hostess and immediately we were seated. It was a bit cool in the restaurant (as a repair was being made for a heating element), but the reception by the staff was amazing. Everything sounded and looked so good, an interesting but fun menu to study. We were assisted by Sam V. who took the time to patiently answer our questions. Again, we were first timers. It can be a bit pricey, but you do have choices, many of them. Presentation is incredible! This restaurant for us was a fun experience and we celebrated my husband’s birthday with two amazing drinks…we skipped the coffee. We took home two cute souvenir glasses offered when you order certain drinks (5 different types of Bloody Mary’s!). This place was such a treat! The Bloody Mary’s were very good, actually, excellent! Sam V. was amazing, friendly and classy, not pushy or intrusive. Truly an outstanding server! Our first time there, we had no idea what to expect, except that it was a breakfast/brunch joint. Once again, the food was amazing, everything prepared to our complete satisfaction! The portion sizes are huge, so come with your appetite. We also got a photo taken which we also purchased...an added bonus we did not expect. By the way, my husband had the Tractor Driver Combo with French Toast/Waffles. I hade the Andy Sage Fried Chicken on a bed of bacon, a biscuit, mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs, with gravy on the side, jelly, tomato slices and fruit. We also got a "complimentary" Birthday Churro Waffle with ice cream to top off the celebration. We will be going back!
