| - Upon walking into the store, we (my boyfriend and I) first noticed the packed tables with hungry patrons. The restaurant itself had more of a food court type of environment where you could just seat yourself. Norm and I opted to get take out rather than waiting around for a seat.
The menu was quite large and had many different options. From the descriptions of the menu, I automatically knew what I wanted to try, The Animal Feed. As the menu describes, The Animal Feed is "PANKO CRUSTED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM STUFFED WITH FETA & CREAM CHEESE, DEEP FRIED THEN TOPPED WITH LETTUCE, TOMATO & LEMON HERB AIOLI". Sounded delicious and something I really wanted to try. However, being a burger joint, I just had to give the meat patty a try as well. So I opted for The Mad Cow; The Animal Feed + Jr. Cheeseburger.
The built up expectation for this burger was grand, I had wanted to try this place for over a year and now I was finally able to sink my teeth into the holy burger. The first bite I was only able to get a taste of The Animal Feed and as I chewed, disappointment set in. The mushroom had caused the breading to get soggy and damp and the sweet cream cheese mixture with the salty feta didn't quite fit together for me. I gave the burger another bite so that I could try the meat, and lucky for them, it worked. The burger was nicely seasoned, cooked to a beautiful medium, and super juicy. The burger patty aside, I couldn't get over the strange combination of the cheeses on a soggy mushroom. This burger cost us $10.99 and was definitely not worth the price.
We also ordered the Panko onion rings for a costly price of $4.79. I love onion rings and Panko crusted onion rings seemed like a good pairing to my burger. It stated on the menu that this was not homemade but I still expected decent onion rings for $5. Apparently Holy Chuck's is unaware of what Panko actually is. I was served overly greasy battered rings that I could have bought at the grocery store for $2. It was definitely not Panko crusted and I was definitely disappointed.
Upon hearing about this place, I heard rave reviews about their famous milkshakes so of course, I had to try it. We ordered a Strawberry shake which came out to $4.99. The milkshake was amazing. I had never tasted such a rich creamy milkshake. It was nicely blended with small chucks of strawberry (which I assume was in the strawberry ice cream they used). The only downside was that it was a little difficult to get through because it was a tad too sweet. Don't get me wrong, I have a sweet tooth like no other but half way through, my tongue started to feel strange and I felt like I needed water to dilute the sweetness from my mouth.
Overall, we spent about $25 on the meal for one burger, onion rings, a milkshake, and a fountain drink. For that price, we could have gone elsewhere and gotten double the food. Value-wise, this place was a fail. For the mediocrity, it was not worth it.
Would I ever go back? Probably not unless I was getting the food for free. If that's the case, I'll take The Go Chuck Yourself (six patties, six cheese, triple bacon, onions and three grilled cheese sandwiches for the bread) and a milkshake please! ;)
