This place is by far one of my favorite spots to get a breakfast sandwich. It's simple but big on flavor. First of all, if you're a big fan of hash browns, then this is the place for you! Any kind of crispy potato for breakfast is my all-time favorite kind of meal, and this place does not disappoint. In fact, it will exceed your expectations.
There are two downsides. One, this place is slow, so if you are in a rush, it might not be for you. But honestly, it is worth the wait. Two, I wish they had different cheese options. American cheese is not my favorite, but everything else is so yummy, and the cheese is melty enough that it helps me get over the fact that I would prefer a different cheese.
The food is hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Another reason this restaurant is a place after my heart is that they offer the option to add a hash brown to the sandwich. Of course, you do not have to, and you can order the hash brown patty separately. However, this is something I have done every time I get a breakfast sandwich or burrito, anytime, anyplace. To me, a breakfast meal is not complete without some crispy potatoes.
The hash brown patty is rectangular in shape, extra crispy on the outside, with a very soft but fully cooked inside. It is the perfect balance. I included a few pictures in my review, including one that shows the hash brown patty from the side to highlight how thick and delicious this brick of potato goodness truly is.
We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and split them fifty-fifty because it's the best way to try several items on the menu without being wasteful. However, we each got our own hash brown since we did not want to share that part. We both ended up putting our hash browns on our sandwiches, agreed this is what we will do next time, and laughed when we saw the sign offering this option.
As mentioned, this place is simple and only has four breakfast sandwiches on the menu. First of all, all of their sandwiches come on their deliciously soft, freshly-baked potato brioche bread. They have a few other things as well. One of our sandwich selections was the Midtown. This sandwich came with a fried egg, crispy bacon, American cheese, sliced tomato, fried shallots, and spicy aioli. I personally loved this one the most since I lean toward bacon over sausage, but both were delicious.
The second sandwich we tried was the Chelsea. It came with a fried egg, sausage patty, American cheese, sliced tomato, and fried shallots, with spicy aioli spread. This was the other person's favorite because they prefer sausage over bacon. So either way, you cannot go wrong.
They also have a veggie option. The Greenwich Village comes with scrambled egg whites, kale, sunflower seeds, avocado, caramelized onions, tomato, and American cheese. I haven't tried this one, but it sounds delicious. Just for those reading the review, the fourth sandwich on the menu is the Soho. It is simple and comes with scrambled eggs, American cheese, and bacon. If you don't want a sandwich, you can also order a cheesy hash brown patty by itself. They also offer a variety of beverages, including canned and drip coffee.
Lastly, this restaurant is located in a food court-style area in the Aria, so there are plenty of seating options, and it is convenient for those who want to eat other foods nearby. Just be sure to check the hours for the different restaurants and cafes in the food court, as they all have varying hours of operation and might not all be open at the same time.
I highly recommend breakfast here if you're a fan of hash browns or breakfast sandwiches. This place is the perfect marriage of the two. And for all my fellow die-hard potato lovers, may this provide you with the hash brown patty of your culinary dreams. I know I was delighted and loved every bite of my crispy hash brown and breakfast sandwich smashup! read more
