Food Influencer’s Controversial Review of White Hut: A Mixed Bag of Opinions
While White Hut has earned the title of the best burger spot in Massachusetts, according to a recent article from MassLive, it seems not everyone shares that sentiment. Food influencer Nick Metcalf took to social media to share his honest experience, leaving fans divided over his critiques.
The Review: Unfiltered and Discussive
During a recent visit to West Springfield, Metcalf—famed for his insightful food critiques across the nation—decided to put White Hut to the test. For those interested, you can watch the full review here.
First Impressions: A Disappointing Start
Kicking off his review with the chili cheese dog, Metcalf didn’t mince words: “That looks like some slop.” His reaction to the chili itself was even more scathing. “That chili on top tastes like dirt with like a slight aftertaste of a hockey player’s shoe,” he quipped. The chili cheese dog earned a rather lackluster score of 5.1 out of 10.
The Burger Battle: A Lower Score
Moving on to the double cheeseburger, Metcalf’s disappointment continued to rise. **“This s* is f**** gross,” he declared while critiquing the taste, asserting that the patties tasted anything but fresh, more akin to pre-packaged frozen options. This item received an even harsher rating at 4.1 out of 10**.
Sides That Save the Day—Sort Of
Metcalf didn’t stop at the mains; he also ventured into the world of sides. His verdict on the french fries? “Miserable.” However, amidst a sea of criticism, the onion rings offered a glimpse of redemption. Metcalf acknowledged, “Pretty good onion ring though, I can’t lie.” The onion rings received a respectable score of 7.8 out of 10, leading to a total bill of $17.40 for his review.
Contrasting Perspectives: Customer Reviews Speak
Interestingly, the public’s feedback on White Hut contrasts sharply with Metcalf’s evaluation. On Yelp, patrons have shared positive experiences highlighting fast service and quality food. One reviewer noted, “Solid burger and hot dog joint with good, simple, quality food,” commending its comparable vibe to Five Guys but with less grease.
Another satisfied customer raved, “This is the place. So darn good. The food is amazing no matter what you order.” They emphasized the bright, cheerful ambiance and stellar service as key factors contributing to a delightful dining experience.
Beyond White Hut: Nick Metcalf’s Broader Culinary Journey
Metcalf’s food critique journey doesn’t end with White Hut. He’s taken his talents to explore other eateries in Western Massachusetts, including Red Rose in Springfield, where he sampled a sausage and onion pizza. He offered a lukewarm review of the pie, describing the sauce as “watery, sweet” and the crust as just “ok.” This pizza earned a score of 7.6 out of 10.
In Northampton, Metcalf reviewed Hungry Ghost Bread, where he seemed far more delighted. Scores of 8.9 for the chocolate chip cookie, 8.4 for pumpkin cake, and 8.6 for blueberry galette indicate a more favorable culinary experience.
Final Thoughts
While White Hut may have its share of devoted fans, Metcalf’s review serves as a reminder that culinary opinions can be wildly subjective and divergent. What’s your take? Have you tried White Hut’s offerings, and would you agree with Metcalf’s sentiments? Only one way to find out—head there and taste for yourself!
