This is a very cool place. They focus on mixology & it shows. I got a no alcohol "pineapple party pants" & it was 💯. My wife had a margarita & the alcohol taste was top strong for her, she wanted a more fruity taste. If you're like her, definitely ask your server for recommendations. My drink was small, maybe 8-10 ounces & was $9. I feel it should have been bigger because of the no alcohol but it was probably par for the course. Now for the food truck. I was craving a good burger & Drinky Box was highly recommended & had great reviews. It seemed to be a 1 man show. There were only 3 menu items & one was a smash burger, which is why we went there. I don't like yellow mustard & I asked if he had hot mustard. He went on a diatribe about how it's the perfect amount & works symbiotically with all the other ingredients & you don't even taste it (I'm paraphrasing, I didn't have a court reporter making a real time record). He seemed upset that I would dare question his culinary expertise. I ordered without mustard & didn't feel like going through the same ordeal about preferring fresh onions instead of the grilled ones that were standard. My wife got the mustard. I tasted hers, not on the outer edge but almost right in the middle so I'd definitely get the full mustard taste. Well, chef was wrong, I did taste it & preferred mine. Bottom line: will we be back? Yes for drinks. No for food. The burger was fine, I ate all of it, but it wasn't special. It wasn't "omg that was...
Read moreWow!!! What an absolute GEM this place is. Our friends invited us to join them on Saturday afternoon. We had never heard of it so it was exciting to try something new. The Drinky Box is EXACTLY what this valley needed. Where do I even begin? Walking in the atmosphere is so inviting and the energy feels like you have traveled outside of this area. We got an immediate greeting by the lovely young ladies and gentleman. We took our seat and immediately service began. We ordered our first drinks and they did not disappoint. They were so flavorful and unique. I have lived in big cities, and traveled all over and these drinks were something from some other destination. Top notch ingredients and really creative recipes.
Our service...my gosh let me just say was a bright shining point that made the entire experience. We joked, laughed, conversed, and enjoyed our two lovely young servers and the bar tender. So kind, fun, and on the spot. It is by far the VERY best of what exceptional service should look and feel like.
Then after a couple drinks we decided to do a sampler tray of the hot dogs and OMG each and every one of them was so unique, creative, flavorful, and fresh! Then we traveled out to the food truck to split a Chopped Cheese and a Smash Burger. My goodness every single morsel of each food item was so darn good. Needless to say WE ARE IN LOVE!! We WILL be back without a doubt on a regular basis. This is legit the best place in town for every...
Read moreI cannot say enough good things about the Drinky Box. I'm not sure the area even deserves a place this good. Most LCV bars are two-ingredient joints with TVs on every wall. Not this.
The Drinky Box is extraordinary. You walk into warmth and joy. It seems like the owners, Gary and Skate, really care about the place and they've managed to find a lot of staff that feel the same. Their cocktails are extraordinary. One of the questions on this review is "how much does a person spend here?" I feel like I am not the one to answer because sure, you can get a beer and a basic hot dog for around ten bucks. That is probably a fine way to spend $10 - but there are FUN ways to spend money and ordering crafted and carefully made drinks at The Drinky Box is fun.
I like the Thai Hot Dog. I am blanking on the name but there is a scoop of Pad Thai on the top. I also like the drink that's garnished with a burnt jalapeño - the name has disappeared from my mind at the moment. I also love the Mexican Spy Balloon and the Jungle Bird (Campari& Rum? Say less).
This spot is ideal for a first date. It's perfect for after-work drinks. It's great for meeting with friends. I've been here with family. It's ideal for just about everything and I am so glad that our valley...
