| - It was late and we were hungry. I had heard amazing things about The Works and I wanted to give it a try. The only problem was I wasn't in the mood for burgers.
Unfortunately for me I was craving chicken. Fried chicken. I told the server that I had come into a burger joint not wanting burgers...she laughed and then let me in on a little secret....
I cannot explain the excitement I felt when I was told that their deep fried cajun chicken could be placed in substitute to all the burger selections. Oh the possibilities!
What do I want in my chicken sandwich? Sweet and Spicy sounded amazing and my mouth was watering. So I ordered the "au couture" Fried Chicken Sexy Burger sans burger. The man had a Juicy Lucy because cheese.
We started with beer (Moosehead lager to be precise), pop and deep fried dill pickles. They were incredibly good. I would go back just to eat that appetizer again! Perfectly crunchy and juicy...and the "Beechhouse" dip, so delicious, you HAVE to try it!
When we got our entrees the burgers came with decent sized sides (his: fries mine: salad) The portions were large and the food was great.
His burger was indeed juicy, and cheesy and he loved it.
My chicken was juicy but if i'm going to be honest I like it crispier than how it was coated. The mixture of the sweet and spicy was good, but not life-altering good. The insides blended well but became very boring: Sweet & spicy sauce was good and the pineapple gave it a unique kick but the banana peppers were over-powering, and the cream cheese kept clumping/breaking and it was very VERY messy to eat. I had to pull out half the sandwhich worth of peppers. That were not spicy, just very vinegary. I ordered the "burger" in an upgraded gluten-free bread and it was awful. I had to just remove it and eat the rest with cutlery.
The service was great, our server was very friendly, attentive and prompt.
The venue itself is interesting and well kept.
The pricing was the only issue we had with this place. After all it's a burger joint. You wanna call it a gourmet burger?...throw some caviar, fois gras and truffles and then maybe you can call it gourmet. What we ate was not gourmet, it was very good, but not gourmet. Our bill after tax and gratuity was $70+
1 Moosehead
1 Ginger ale
1 Pickles
1 Juicy Lucy
and a Cajun Chicken Sexy Burger on gluten free bun.
I can't see us going back unless we both crave those pickles really badly....and happen to have the same craving at the same time, which in actuality is quite possible.
