Restaurant Review #1----Sonny's Dutch Mill

My first review is going to be for the cheeseburger enthusiast who doesn't want to leave Rock Hill to get a top notch burger. I like to separate styles of burgers in two ways....truly grilled burgers(open flame) and ones that are cooked obviously on a hot griddle. You can't compare the two. Two distinct tastes separate these styles of sandwiches and Sonny's Dutch Mill has the griddle burger on lock down in Rock Hill. While I have definitely had better burgers in my lifetime, Sonny's is truly a great place to eat and always has been. The greatest thing about the double cheeseburger basket as the Mill is the natural cut home cooked fries. Skin on sticks of evil greasy goodness that are the cherry on top to compliment a very good burger. The bun is nothing fancy and neither is the burger itself. What makes this burger outstanding is the chili. The chili sauce that they put on the burgers there is great enough to bring any man to shed a tear of happiness. It is greasy, spicy, dry, meaty, and goes great with just mustard and onions. Just the mere thought of these burgers is enough to make Homer Simpson start to slobber. The atmosphere is also one that is a good touch. Its some tables, a red and white checkered floor, and a couple of soda stand stools at a lunch counter (aka DIVE). That is what I like and live for. No fancy upscale crap. You don't need it. It is a dive with a good christian base atmosphere that is both family friendly and filled with really nice people. I just wish that I could live on the Wimpy payment plan every now and then. Anyway, also try some of the other favorites they have there like their hot dogs. Everyone reveres the Ebenezer Cafe for their dogs, but I find the Dutch Mill dog to beat it hands down. Call me crazy if you want but that is the way that I feel about it. The only downside is the price at the Dutch Mill is not that great and that is its only flaw. I give the overall quality of the dining experience there to be a solid 7.5 out of 10.
