| - It's been a few years since my last review here, and in that time Wingharts has undergone a menu overhaul and a remodel after they dealt with a fire a couple years ago. Fortunately, they're still the best, despite/because of the changes! And they're going so strongly I think I have to brag on their behalf a little.
For starters, I'm actually really super impressed with the remodeling this location went through. Wingharts admittedly really looked like a bar when I first visited this spot, not a burger or pizza joint. Now, the remodel has given the owners a chance to add some great decor, color, and lighting to the place - and I definitely think the new touches make Wingharts more welcoming.
More importantly, while the menu has changed a tad, it's still absolutely amazing! In the last month I've been here three times and I've gotten three different and excellent meals:
*During a lunch out with friends I discovered this burger and pizza joint serves an amazing spinach salad! Fresh green spinach, gruyere cheese, bacon, sliced egg...yum! It's called the Popeyes Guilty Pleasure, since crabcakes are an optional topping here. I recommend them, too, because they are good crabcakes!
*Before seeing a comedy show I stopped in intending to enjoy a little pizza. Instead of having leftovers for the next day as I expected, I devoured an entire Boomer pizza - fresh dough topped with arugula, bacon, caramelized onion, truffle aioli, brie cheese, and crimini mushrooms. Now THAT is one delectable pizza!
*Finally, for my birthday I stopped in with a friend and we ordered two amazing burgers, along with an appetizer: their spinach and artichoke dip. This may be my favorite dip in the city - it's so fresh, filled with flavor, and even comes with a small "kick". And while I will forever love my Shipwreck burger, I can now say the Market Square Burger is a cheesy delight, with mushrooms and bacon to boot.
Oh, and the cherry on top of this already winning lineup? The fantastic cocktail menu that is full of refreshing and super tasty drinks all around. I haven't had a single drink I didn't like here yet, and it's common for me to order more than one of them while I'm here. Usually I avoid this to save cash, but they're so good here I can't resist them.
So kudos to you, Wingharts - you're definitely still one of my fav places to dine and drink at in the 'Burgh! Keep it up, please!
