The beer is ice cold and the burgers are delicious! We will definitely be back!
Awesome layout, spectacular food and service. Doesnt get much better.
Prior to this evening, I had not heard about Whiskey Trail Pub and Grill in Midtown. I was thinking of going with another place for a burger, but the burger selection on WTPG's menu had me wanting to try something and some place lesser-known in the area.
FOOD: Channel Haven Burger (Grilled mushrooms and onions, Gorgonzola crumbles, chipotle mayo on a brioche roll.) with side of Beer-Battered Onion Rings. The aroma from the Gorgonzola and the faint scent of beer from the hot onion rings, seeping from the take-out container, seemed very promising. Taste, however...said something entirely different. To summarize the entire meal? Bland. Very bland and just meh. The brioche roll was soft and wonderful, but was dense and significantly thicker than the burger patty, thus, drowning out the burger. The chipotle mayo sauce also seemed to get lost in the sandwich. When I think of anything Chipotle, I think of some spice and heat. I tasted no heat, whatsoever, and felt that it's only purpose was to add some moisture to the sandwich. The grilled mushrooms and onions were prepared nicely and the Gorgonzola cheese was as expected. The burger just fell flat, which was so disappointing. There seemed to be little to no char on the patty, it lacked serious seasoning but it was cooked medium-well, as ordered. The onion rings also had almost zero seasoning and flavor. The golden beer batter had a nice crunch, but all I could taste with each and every bite, was the sweetness of the thick rings of onion, themselves...nothing more. The lack of seasoning, coupled with no side dipping sauce for the rings, resembled large chunks of the Bloomin' Onion from Outback Steakhouse but not nearly as tasty. If I'm being 100% honest with you and myself, I wish I would have chosen to order from another place, altogether. I did not enjoy this meal. SCORE: 2 STARS!!
SERVICE: With a $0.49 delivery special through Grub Hub on Yelp!, I took advantage so that I could relax at home. Ordering was effortless, the food was prepared and presented perfectly and it arrived on time, fresh and hot by the delivery driver. Everything went well. SCORE: 5 STARS!!
OVERALL SCORE: I had such high hopes after seeing Whiskey Trail Pub's menu and creations. What I tasted was disappointing and forgettable. There are so many things I would recommend to add, change or modify that could have helped make this meal decent, but I'm not the Chef. Giving more weight to the food and the $42 and change I paid for my wife and I's burgers (she was equally as disappointed)... 2.7 STARS!!
