| - Whitey's is a good place to get a real burger. They have all kinds of burgers to try and the beer is plentiful and cold. The fries are great and the chilli is good too. It's a big place that's always crowded.
Sometimes there's a seedy crowd of drunkards in the bar and you can always find junkers in the lot with those yellow I DRIVE DRUNK license plates. All these liquored-up air conditioner repairmen aren't assholes so it's safe, and everyone is friendly, but there's a feeling of sour booze-drenched desperation in the crowd.
To get to the restaurant, you walk through the bar. When you're done, you have to go to the bar, get a bartender, and pay your tab in cash. It's one of those hassles that is annoying to some people and no big deal to others. They have an ATM up front and if you don't have cash, you use a debit card or money card to get some. They don't warn you. Have cash or you'll leave grumpy.
Still, the food is better than average bar grub and if you consider yourself a burger lover you have to try it at least once. To me, the best burgers are the most basic ones they have. For instance, if you get the mushroom and swiss burger it's so big you eat it with a knife and fork. It's good but it's almost not even a burger anymore when the thing overflows and fills your plate. A regular Whitey's cheeseburger with everything on it is a really good burger.
If you remember the cash and have a few beers with dinner so you don't get annoyed trying to pay the bartender, you'll want to come back.
