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:

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:

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)...
