8/3/18: Cowbell Burger and Whiskey Bar's Jerry Garcia Burger


Kristina and I started our South Carolina journey of burgers in Charlotte with a stop at the Cowbell. This location was modernly dressed with the atmosphere catered to young adults. Check Kristina's review on the Sodapop Burger. Today, we review the Jerry Garcia, the open faced burger.

The toppings were carmelized onions, mushrooms, Swiss, and brown gravy. The onions and mushrooms were a bit much. They both tend to overcome the gravy and didn't overly compliment it. The cheese, due to the rest of the toppings, was just there.

The patty was seasoned well and cooked to my liking. No issues with this one.

The bun...bread was a nice cut of sourdough. A mistake many outlets have with open faced sandwiches is to provide a think slice of what bread they are displaying. This slice was able to hold up the burger and didn't get overly soggy with the toppings. The sourdough itself was a good taste, but didn't take away from the burger.

The Jerry Garcia was a good burger, but not a great burger. The toppings fighting with each other for attention seemed to hinder my rating for this burger.

Toppings: 5
Patty: 8
Bread: 8

OVERALL: 7
