| - After reading some mediocre reviews, I ventured into The Shiloh Grill on Mount Washington with cautious expectations, which were eventually proved wrong.
It was Happy Hour so I looked over their ample drink selections, including a variety of mixed drinks, wines and their 16 beers on tap. Wanting to stay local, I ordered an East End Cherry Chocolate Stout from one of the friendliest bartenders (Gene) I've met in awhile. He asked me my name and used it throughout the evening, which I thought was a personable gesture. Plus, he was periodically joking with some of the locals, keeping it light and fun for a weeknight.
I struggled over what to order because there were so many selections that sounded wonderful, including their famous and plentiful Mac n Cheese, which two girls were sharing beside me. They didn't finish it. (I found out why later.)
I eventually decided on "Thanksgiving on a Blawnox," a half-pound turkey burger with sage stuffing and a little rosemary aioli. When looking at the side dish options, the Mac N Cheese called out again, so I went with it. Great choice!
The turkey burger was very filling, but the MnC knocked it out da park with spiral pasta covered in delicious cheese almost as thick as paste. I now understand why some people just order this for their meal, even if it registers total calories in the five digits. Seriously, proceed with caution!
