US colloquial term for a cheap, low-end diner or eating house — the kind of place that serves basic, unpretentious food at low prices. The word was common in 20th century American slang and suggests greasy-spoon territory. Still understood but somewhat dated.
Every morning he breakfasted at the same hashhouse on the corner, ordering eggs and black coffee.
