When I was a student, this place was awesome. It reminded me of somewhere my dad would hang out. Beer, good burgers, and really grimy and smoky.
We had stopped in for a beer a while back and were very impressed with the remodel. It's super clean and nice now, yet it still feels like the same old dive bar from 20 years ago.
Yesterday we stopped in for lunch, since Wallaby's was closed. We're very glad Wallaby's was closed. Had a fantastic burger yesterday, I believe the Cowboy Burger. It was excellent. I miss the crinkle-cut fries, but the shoestrings were very good, too. My girlfriend had a pulled pork sandwich, which she also thoroughly enjoyed.
So, a great atmosphere, good beer selection, and great food. Amen, go with peace and get a burger and a few beers at the new & improved Whiskey River.
We had lunch here yesterday when we discovered our first choice (Wallaby's) was closed. Â I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with sweet and spicy sauce and it was SO GOOD. Â One of those sandwiches you hope will never end. Â The meat had a great smoky flavor, the sauce was the perfect balance of spicy and sweet, and the hoagie roll was the perfect density to support it all. Â I ordered onion rings as well, which were thick cut and breaded to perfection. Â A+.
My boyfriend had the cowboy burger, which looked delicious as well. Â Together, our meals and two beers were under $20. Â Great food for a great price!
