Needing someplace to grab a bite late, we showed up here at Whitehall Tavern just after 11 pm for a quick bite.
Neither of us drank, so the bar wasn't a draw for us, but fried snacky snacks were, and we ordered the following to share:
Bleu Chips ($8.95)
Lemon pepper wings 6 piece ($7.95)
Hummus with fried cauliflower ($7.95)
So let's talk about the good:
The Bleu chips, while salty, were VERY good. These bleu chips came with house made bleu cheese dressing, applewood smoked bacon, diced tomato and onions, and of course, chips. This thing was a mound of whoa, and between the two of us, we finished a good chunk of it. I don't know that i'd order this again, but if I came with a friend again, i'd happily steal a chip or two!
The lemon pepper wings were nice and crispy, but the flats were also salt bombs. The bleu cheese and celery were requirements here just to cut through the salt. I had 3 of the 6, and again, very crispy, but very salty.
The not so good:
The hummus, which comes with fried cauliflower, was actually on the other spectrum of flavor, being very bland. You'd think i'd need that from all of the salt, but I do like a little flavor in my hummus. The cauliflower, which actually were a side to accompany the hummus, were the better snack of the two.
We sat outside and customer service was slow. It took several minutes to even get water, and we never got silverware. My girlfriend ultimately went to the bar to ask for some after heading to the restroom, and the bartender was dumbfounded that we were not given any silverware, before apologizing.
Located in the peachtree battle shopping center, Whitehall is reached before you reach the nearby publix. Parking can be tough right in front of the restaurant, but there's several parking spots all over the place. You may just have to walk a bit.
Whitehall isn't terrible. We actually enjoyed two of the three dishes, although some of them were very salty. Between the customer service and just the inability to nail flavors the way we'd like, it's just an okay place for now, though we may be back.
Give it a shot if you need a late night bite!
