Wok
Star is a Chinese restaurant in the tiny
village of Winterville, about 15 minutes outside of Athens. Despite the bizarre
entrance, which seems to double as a chotskies shop, it is actually the only
place in the area that offers pretty good Chinese food.
Hence, it is difficult to go here for
something so mundane as a burger. However, I have heard and read that the
burgers are really good, so I decide to go there one day for lunch and try it
myself.
I start with a Vegetable Spring Roll
($1.25) and a (Chicken) Spring Roll ($1.25), which are both small, fresh, and
tasty. Then on to the Wok Star Burger ($8.49), which comes with fries. The
fries are really disappointing, as they are undercooked and soggy, but the
burger is a pleasant surprise. It is a large but not very thick patty that
comes on a big soft bun with strips of crispy bacon and a huge chunk of
cabbage. Sauces are on the side (ketchup, mayo, and spicy mustard), but the
burger is so tasty that it doesn’t need any sauce. It has a deep almost smoky
meaty flavor, juicy and salty. Delicious!
VERDICT:
89/100
Wok Star is a good place for Chinese dinner and
American lunch. Next time I’ll go for the Monster Burger (I will update).
