San Diego's Hash House A Go Go Serves A Food Coma With Brunch
Unfortunately, the cell phone isn't included; it's there to show how ginormous the flapjack is.
Head down to San Diego's Hash House a Go Go on a weekend, and you'll see a bunch of starving and hungover folks waiting outside, eager to get in the restaurant for some hearty home-style eats. That's just the way it is and how it will always be at this famous weekend brunch restaurant. Our tip: Avoid the long wait by heading to the Hillcrest eatery during the week. That way you won't have to wait more than an hour to stuff yourself silly with brunch dishes so large you'll have to either share them or risk a food coma for the rest of the day.
Hash House a Go Go, a mix of city and country with metal chairs, old farm photos, and paraphernalia on the walls, churns out food as fun as its name. Of course, you can't go wrong with the namesake house hashes, like the ground turkey with hardwood-smoked bacon, onion and smoked mozzarella or the meatloaf with roasted red peppers, fresh spinach and smoked mozz. But the bigger-than-your-face pancakes are too hard to pass up.
Junk-food addicts will want to order the Snickers, strawberry Frosted Flake or butterscotch-almond flapjacks. For a tropical take that won't give you an instant cavity, get the yummy mango-coconut pancake.
The less-breakfasty brunch fare is just as colossal. The restaurant serves one-pound burgers, where two patties are stuffed with waist-busting combos like apple-smoked bacon and mashed potatoes. There are also a number of salads, but where's the fun in that? It also offers brunch-appropriate drinks like mimosas and Bloody Marys—for those who need some alcohol—and refreshing kiwi-watermelon lemonades, for those who don't want a buzz.
Whatever you order will be massive, so don't bother coming here without a big appetite.
