I have been working in Richfield for the past 5 years and heard nothing but great things about Whitey's. I finally decided to give them a try.
The atmosphere at Whitey's is typical of any other run of the mill sports bar, the food was ok. I had a much raved about burger and (to me) it tasted reheated and was not very good at all. The fries were also ok nothing great about them.
The place was packed (on a Thursday night) great for them the service was reasonably fast for how busy they were and our waitress was nice. They are Cash only which does suck although they do have an ATM on site it's annoying to have to shell out a service fee to get cash.
I do not see what the big draw to this place is and I don't think I have any reason to give them another visit.
