I want more Cowbell!
Last time I was in Charlotte, this little burger joint was right around the corner from where I was staying and I debated going in a couple times but never made it. This time (while in route to Ohio) I stopped in Charlotte for lunch and the Cowbell was my destination of choice. Being that it was after the main lunch hours, the restaurant wasn't very busy and I was able to saddle right up to the bar and grab a stool.
After perusing the long list of burgers & getting some beer recommendations from Lindsay behind the bar, I settled on the Bruiser Burger with sweet potato tots for this dining adventure. My blackened beef patty came on the softest onion Kaiser roll with horseradish cream, gorgonzola and caramelized onions. The burger also comes with shitake mushrooms, but I opted to go without. The cooked to medium burger was juicy and overflowing out of the bun. I don't know when it will be, but I'm looking forward to trying more of what they have to offer in the burger dept. The tots were so good, I could have eaten a bucketful. They had the slightest sprinkling of - I'm assuming - cinnamon on them that perked the flavor up a bit without making them too sweet.
I didn't partake in any of the whiskeys offered at the Cowbell, but I'll save that for next time.
