Hash Kitchen Peoria

Busy restaurant for a Wednesday morning! Great atmosphere, decor and music,although the music was WAY to loud. My friend and I were practically yelling at each other.
Not your typical breakfast menu either. Lots of interesting breakfast items that sounded delicious! My friend had the biscuits and Gravy while I had the Christina's Tamale Cakes and they were both delicious!
The coffee was very good too. While we did have to wait 30min. for our table outside in the heat( there is no place to wait inside), once we were seated our server Genesis was fast,friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They also have a build your own Bloody Mary bar. The patio area is large, shady and dog friendly with misters for Summer. The bar area has large roll up windows allowing guests to be served by the bartender either while seated inside or outside at the bar. The drink menu also looked interesting. However, the bar roll up windows need too be rolled down once the outdoor temps reach 90F because the last half hour we were there it was getting pretty hot in the restaurant and we were both sweating 🥵! During the Summer time the roll up windows need to be down, unless you want to air condition the outside and keep costumers away! During the Winter time they are a great idea since it doesn't get that cold here. It would be nice to have misters outside where guests wait to be seated.

I heard from friends and read many great reviews about Hash Kitchen. I was in the area for a special event and noticed Hash Kitchen at Park West. This restaurant was jam-packed! There was a 30 minute wait but once we were seated the vibe and atmosphere felt like I was in a dance club. There was a DJ spinning some great music, the decor had a very modern and urban look.
Our waiter was very respectful, hip and fun to talk with. I was so excited about the items on the menu, that I ordered multiple items. You tired of my order tasted better and better. Just so you know the wait time to be seated can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours. But it is definitely worth the wait!

I had the most amazing waitress, Amber. I came early as the first person in my party and she was quick to attend to me. The moment she saw me she let me know she'd be right back, came back with water, and this service was all done before my friends arrived to the restaurant; I didn't even ask her to do that and just the gesture of having water ready for my friends made an impact because it's SO hot. I thought her presence was very warm and welcoming. She didn't make us feel bad for not knowing what to eat or drink immediately. She even gave us recommendations on food and drinks despite the amount of guests. I was there from like 7:10-9:00 AM and throughout that whole period there wasn't a moment where we thought she forgot about us, which happens a lot at busy restaurants. She always had a smile on her face. I'm very thankful for the service she provided. I've worked in customer service and understand how difficult it is to keep up when the work flow changes rapidly but she made it look easy!

Apart from my wonderful service, here's some things I know to expect coming here. Food is great and drinks are pricey but definitely worth it. Literally everything I've ordered from here has been delicious. Booze bags are a bit weaker if you're a seasoned drinker tho. Expect a long wait because this place is amazing and it will be busy. Always 9 or 10 o'clock, brunch times, there will be like about a 60-90 minute wait. I have very little patience so I have never stayed to wait for a table that long but if you arrive at the restaurant at 7 or 8 o'clock the wait isn't bad.

This is my negative. Not enough to knock down stars because my overall experience was great and my friends had fun. The hostesses in the front need to speak up and specify who they're pointing to when seating tables. I had just told them how many people were in my party and then a girl said your table is ready so I followed her and then I found out that it was for the other party. I thought in my head well I just put in my request for the same amount of people and so the table is ready instantaneously. Fantastic, I'll follow this lady but it was not my table and so that was embarrassing. I drank about it so in my head it's resolved. Maybe this is just me but y'all work in a loud environment. Please speak up because you cannot be soft spoken seating people because that could set off someone that would be angry rather than like me, embarrassed. This place is too amazing for less than 5 stars!

Thanks Amber love her ~
I've never met her in my life but she's the best waitress I've had ever and she demonstrated there are good people willing to work and do their job well.

Service was great! Everyone was super friendly. Place was busy but staff was moving fast and it didn’t take very long to get our food. The fruit was super fresh and delicious. Great menu choices especially for alcohol. Lots of super cool drink options. Awesome atmosphere
