On Tuesday, April 16, Hash
House A Go Go, an all-day dining spot, opened at 5350
International Drive; Orlando, FL
– just a half mile North of Universal Boulevard. The award-winning dining spot
serves “twisted farm food” for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner at the
restaurant group’s first Southeast location. Conceived of Midwestern roots, the
concept launched in San Diego in 2000 and now boasts seven additional outposts
in Las Vegas, Reno, Chicago, and at the Mohegan Sun Casino in
Connecticut.
Hash
House A Go Go, a name fusing the ideas of “old-style food” and “something new,”

the non-alcoholic side, the drink list showcases an assortment of freshly
squeezed juices and lemonades like the Hash House favorite, Kiwi Watermelon
Lemonade. For the caffeine addicts, the restaurant offers a variety of
specialties, including flavors like ‘smores mocha, caramel all over, and banana
latte.
The
restaurant’s décor, like the food, is country-style with an urban flair. From
the barn-inspired exterior complete with a silver silo, to the welcoming
interior with old-school black-and-white farm photos and relaxed booths, Hash
House A Go Go is about having a good time—sophistication without pretention. The
restaurant seats 260 guests, including 60 seats at the bar.
Hash
House A Go Go has received national recognition from the likes of The Steve
Harvey Show, Martha Stewart, Al Roker, and Adam Richman of the Travel Channel’s
“Man Vs. Food,” and the team behind the wildly popular restaurant looks forward
to opening in Orlando.
“We
couldn’t be more excited to bring our twisted Midwestern fare to this region of
the country,” said Jim Rees, Chief Operating Officer. “Hash House A Go Go will
be a lively gathering place playing on the high energy and fun-loving style of
Central Florida, while treating locals and visitors alike to inventive,
farm-fresh food, presented in a style that’s all our own.”
