Although there were many different options on the drink menu, the cinnamon roll latte sounded intriguing. Just like the entrees, the drinks are enormous and decorative.
It was presented in a large mug with a tower of whipped cream, garnished with brown sugar and cinnamon sticks. The latte was very sweet and heavenly, like drinking a cinnamon roll with coffee.
After looking at the extensive food menu, the Tractor Driver Combo sounded perfect, had a little bit of everything.
Two eggs, bacon. sausage or potatoes and the choice of whichever flapjack your heart desires.
It’s not everyday that you see a Strawberry Frosted Flake pancake on the menu, though other options sounded appetizing.
The plate arrived and instantly lived up to the Hash House reputation. It was ginormous and took up a lot of room on the table. The crunch of the frosted flakes and the sweet taste of the strawberries made a good combo.
The pancake could be split between two people, since it’s probably as big as a record and could be overwhelming for a light eater.
