Hash house las vegas
Hash House is located in one of the 8,462 mini-malls that cover the desert sands when one ventures off the “Strip.” The place is an absolutely charming “mom and pop” restaurant but, in this case, it’s a “mom” restaurant run by Mary. I had my three trusty Roadfood recommendations for Las Vegas with me and convinced my friend to stop at Hash House on our way out of town on Monday morning. I recently traveled to Las Vegas (October 21-24, 2011) and most of my dining experiences were at the hotel buffets. I’ve eaten at a few of the “local” restaurant suggestions, but this is my first review. I’ve been a fan of since hearing the Sterns on Rick Steves’ travel radio show. It is the non-A-Go-Go place that we are recommending. The two restaurants are not connected in any way. Note: There is a restaurant in Las Vegas named Hash House A Go Go, part of a small chain, and they get much more attention than this Hash House. Hash House’s origins go back to the Midwest, and the simple, unflashy home-cooking, served in a simple, unflashy room, plays well in mega-flashy Vegas. Of special interest are the soups-of-the day: highlights include split pea with ham on Tuesdays, beef stew Wednesdays, corn chowder on Sundays. Lunches are an assortment of sandwiches and salads. They even have wild-caught Alaskan salmon and eggs. Of course there are pancakes and waffles and eggs, and they’ll set you up with some sausage gravy and biscuits or country fried steak if you’d like. Try more than one if you’d like it’s a fun game. Some flavors you might encounter include watermelon, habanero, apple, strawberry, jalapeno, peach… the list goes on and on. What’s so special about toast? Well, at Hash House, if you want jam for your toast, you are brought a mind boggling assortment to select from, in little plastic cups, all homemade. All are freshly made, and tasting is proof. They’re all made with potatoes, diced peppers, and onions Super Hash combines all four hashes, while the Party Hash adds jalapenos and mushrooms to the Super Hash, and scrambles eggs into the mix too! These hashes are a textural jumble as you fork into the hash you find some pieces that have crisped up on the hot griddle and some that remain soft and buttery. The menu lists the following hash options: corned beef, roast beef, ham, chicken, Super, and Party.
Just about everything on the menu is made in-house: the hash-browns, the sausage and biscuits, the jams and jellies, and yes, the hash. Mary’s is a breakfast and lunch cafe that prides itself on doing it all themselves. Because if you trust us, we can direct you to a Las Vegas breakfast jackpot called Hash House, which really is a HASH house. Hopefully, you’ll take that as an indication of a real love of hash, not a real lack of taste.
HASH HOUSE LAS VEGAS HOW TO
OK, not “we” one of us does (we won’t say which one, but we will say that his wife finds the tightly-packed, greasy, cylindrical-shaped substance with an aroma uncomfortably close to dog food to be, how to put this delicately… vile). Would I go back ? Probably not.For some reason we feel compelled to make this confession whenever we are about to recommend a restaurant for its hash: we like canned hash. I have heard from some others that have eaten here before that the service was not good for them either, but the food is. One member of the table wanted the wine with his food, not afterwards. When we complained all we got was a sorry, and he left. When we finally found the waiter after our food came out for a second round of drinks, they arrived 15 minutes later well after the meals were done. After the initial greeting and beer order, the beers took some 10 minutes to arrive.

All come out on serving platter sized plates.

I got to sample the meatloaf sandwich and ribs which were also both tasty. I had the chicken pot pie which was not the typical version but was good. One pound burgers are ordered by a lot of people and they look good. SNPA and some other usual offerings round out the list. The beer list does not overly excite except for the fact they carry Stone Pale Ale and Arrogant Bastard.

Stainless steel tables gives it a very casual vibe. Smallish bar is in the front of the house with several rooms of tables in the back. Stopped in for dinner on a Friday night and the place was crowded.
