This was my first time eating here. My team and I were in town for the week to work in the Nephrology clinics. As you might have guessed, this line of work will get a person mighty thirsty. My co-worker, who we will call Peter...Griffin to protect his identity, recommended we try Hell's Kitchen. I said, "Son, with a name like that, you know it has to be good!" (Or hot as hell in the Summertime!) So we walked up the street from our hotel, and got a seat right away. There are plenty of TVs scattered around, and a huge big screen, so you can catch your favorite athlete, politician, or reruns of M*A*S*H. I say "Go SPORTS!"
The menu had a good selection. Our waitress was prompt, and the place had plenty of people for a Wednesday night. That is always a good sign. A lot of locals go here. Well, I have no idea if that is true, but it could be. Peter and I looked through the menu and easily found our taste to be met by a large selection of edibles. I chose the "Devil Made Me Do It" burger. Peter got something, I am sure. The waitress took our drink order. I had an Irish Trash Can, and Peter had something, I am not sure. Probably Dr. Pibb or something great like that!
My drink arrived in a few minutes and it looked great (see picture). Our waitress took our order for the fudz. As I guzzled my drink, I noticed the taste was off. I can't put my finger on it...oh wait, yes it tasted quite watery. This is a drink I have been excelling at for 20 years, and so I am pretty sure my taste buds know what a TRUE Irish Trash Can should taste like. My Doctor has a different opinion on this aspect of my life. I digress, anyway this ITC wasn't it. I think I got the O'Douls version. Oh well, that was money down the drain. It sure looked pretty though.
Our food arrived. My Burger and Peter's whatever he had. The burger was Dyn'O-Mite!!! That is one tasty burger!!! Peter went back to his Pokemon game on his phone, so he didn't really elaborate on what his phone tasted like...I mean food tasted like. The fries were great too! I looked around and there were still plenty of people coming into this establishment, and that is a great sign, especially with a Historic District that is quickly renovating to their future. I really do love this downtown. After no chit chat with my dinner partner, we paid the tab, and then mosey'd on out the door. Have you ever tried to have a serious conversation about the future with a Millennial Gamer? Well, there you are! Nice looking place! I dig it. Waitress was prompt and nice. I say check this place out. I did not go to the restroom, so I can't be any help on what that looked like, or the condition of it.
Normally, I would have given this place 4 stars, but seriously, the drinks need to have some alcohol in them, especially if they are not a Shirley Temple or Roy Rogers. I would eat here, but go elsewhere for drinks! Oh and Peter didn't order any alcohol because he is converting over to some religion where he has to go to school and become a nun. To each there own I say. Bring on the sweet tea!!More
