Three Words: Chocolate Egg Cream.
The classic NYC soda fountain drink is now being served at the former location of Chicago's in this cool cafe. Sa-Weet! But then it fizzled out like a belch from Grandpa Joe. It just didn't taste the same like in NYC.
For a real Egg Cream you have to use Fox's U-Bet Vanilla Flavor Syrup, whole milk and pressurized seltzer water. I vigorously stirred and stirred and it just didn't foam up. Want a bummer.
The 3 Scoop Vanilla Malt was pretty tasty though. Nice and smooth, thick and malty. Well played old bean...well played.
The menu is pretty much southern cafe style grubbery. Meatloaf, pot roast, fried chicken, catfish, country fried steak, etc...
Charleston She-Crab Soup - a thick salty orangy colored porridge. The flaked crab meat was more like minced meat. It coulda been He-Crab for all we know. No hint of crab roe or sherry...could it be the 2 cups of salt? The Cheddar Muffin was just simply a filler.
Sliders Combo -
Burga, a mini version of furniture sliders, hard and crunchy.
Buttamilk Fwied chix, it was more like a fwied chix chip.
BBQ Pulled Pork, meat was dry and tried to mask it by bathing it in super sweet BBQ sauce, it coulda been pulled possum.
Chicken Pot Pie - it looked great...beautiful homemade flakey crust but it had very little veggies even though it says "full of veggies". The chunky chicken and cream sauce were bland...a can of cream of chix soup woulda done it justice.
Handcut Fwies - there's were thin, crispy and pretty darn tasty.
Fwied Gween Tomatoes - they looked more like tomatillos. Sliced too thinly and batter lacked any seasoning. The Whistle Stop Cafe just took it off their menu from the shame.
Overall, it's not a bad place, they just need to pay more attention to the small details that can have a big effect on the overall taste. They're still pretty new so I will definitely go back and try all the other blue plates available daily.
