| - I cannot get over the sweet potato fries and their paired curry aioli sauce. It's genius, addictive, and such a balanced pairing with the sweet potato and salty curry creaminess. But starting from the beginning..
The Vig is a picturesque little restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a weekend-only brunch menu, happy hour, and discounted burger Mondays after 6pm. The ambiance is casual but intimate, with nicely dimmed lights inside complete with table and booth seating. Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait, but there's a cushioned seating area outside for lounging.
Classic burger with sweet potato fries:
The classic burger here is impressive, and of course the sweet potato fries pairing is a must. The burger is comprised of a juicy patty, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickled on a toasty bun. Sides include fries, sweet potato fries, mac and cheese or roasted brussels sprouts for an extra charge. I always get my burger medium rare, and it's always been cooked well and well-seasoned.
Guacamole and chips:
The guacamole was freshly made, and I really liked the chunks of fresh avocado and fragrant lime. I almost felt like there was a tad too much lime because of how acidic the guacamole was, but this is just personal preference since my friends loved the acidity and wanted even more. I wasn't s fan of the chips; they were unevenly made with some being super thin and others being really thick.
Sliders:
Though supposedly just smaller versions of the burger, I heavily prefer the regular burger to these sliders. I felt that there was too much bread for the small amount of patty, and the buns were dense and a little hard. There wasn't very much filling, so I felt like I was chewing bread and cheese most of the time. That being said, the happy hour price for three sliders and a huge mound of fries is pretty generous.
Blackened fish tacos:
The fish was cooked well in these tacos, and there was a tangy slaw on the bottom that was a nice textural contrast to the fish and soft tortilla. The green sauce (jalapeño guacamole perhaps?) had a really strong kick, so it's a good choice for those who like some spice in their tacos. I did find the tortillas a bit undercooked and soggy, especially with the two stacked together, but overall these were also a nice item included in the happy hour menu.
I haven't tried too many drinks here, but I did like the Hoegaarden beer. It's one of the lightest yet more flavorful beers I've had, and it went down super smooth and was a nice pairing with both the burger and the fish tacos.
I think the overall food here would probably be a 3.5star, but coupled with the happy hour, ambiance, and those sweet potato fries, I'll definitely be a return customer.
