There’s been a buzz around Las Vegas about a place, and truth be told, we needed to find out why. It seems that twisted farm food is something a bit unexpected. Farm to table, but with a twist? Well, that’s precisely what it is.
The Menu Feels Familiar, But Not Boring
As soon as you enter the Hash House A Go Go in Rio, you realize that although the menu is familiar, it is far from being boring. This means classic meals made with fresh local products, which are somehow mixed in unusual ways. There is nothing pretentious about this menu; it is very familiar, yet surprising in some way.
What Actually Stood Out on Our Visit
We tasted a few different dishes when we visited, and a couple in particular stood out to us. The servings sizes were quite large, in fact, much larger than we were expecting considering the cost. None of them felt as if they had been prepared from a frozen meal. It was evident that care went into the preparation of each dish.
Let's Talk About the Drinks
Now here's where things get interesting. The crafted cocktails menu is not messing around. Each drink feels like it was actually thought through, not just thrown together with whatever's behind the bar. We tried a few, and the balance of flavors impressed us more than we thought it would going in. Sweet, tart, smoky, they've got a little of everything, and nothing tasted like a generic drink you'd get anywhere else on the strip.
Atmosphere and Overall Vibe
The place has a laid-back and easy-going atmosphere to it. It doesn’t really make an effort to look cool and trendy, and to be honest, I find that quite refreshing for a city like this where everyone tries to get your attention all the time. You could easily take a date here, but you could also go there just with your friends for an evening out.
So, Is It Worth the Hype?
Well, there is hype, and then there is hype. Some restaurants are advertised like crazy and end up not even delivering what they promise. In the case of this place, things do work out. You will actually get some pretty tasty food, some awesome drinks, and an overall decent dining experience. Will it become the greatest invention in the history of Las Vegas restaurants? No way. But it's good, it's fun, and it's unique enough to be distinguished from the rest of the restaurant landscape.
If you want something truly different, try your luck with this one. Order one of those dishes you never would think of ordering at any other place.
