This place officially lives rent free in my food memory. From the first bite, it was clear this wasn’t just a good meal. It was a standout dining experience. Knowing that everything is made from scratch, down to the ketchup, makes it even more impressive. The fish and chips were perfectly crisp without being heavy, the rotisserie chicken was juicy and deeply seasoned, and the fried chicken sandwich was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The whiskey cocktail was balanced, smooth, and dangerous in the best way. Absolute perfection. And then came dessert. The whiskey cake was so good I see why they literally named the restaurant after it. It deserves that honor. What truly elevated the night was the hospitality. The chef and manager personally came out to greet us, which says everything about the pride they take in their craft. Our server, Erin, was exceptional. Warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the evening better. This is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can still feel special. We will go out of our way to come back whenever we are in Texas again and we will be bringing everyone with us. If you are even considering it, stop thinking and go.
We had a wonderful celebratory dinner at Whiskey Cake, and everything from start to finish was on point. We kicked off the evening with the candied bacon — absolute perfection — along with the Brussels sprouts, which were equally delicious. Someone at our table ordered the chicken and waffles and generously shared a bite, and wow — easily the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced… but the waffle was definitely the star of that show. I went with the steak frites and swapped out the potatoes. While the chimichurri wasn’t quite my thing, the house-made steak sauce more than made up for it. It’s nothing like A1 — richer, more nuanced — and paired beautifully with their steak seasoning blend. Recommendation is to order that meal cooked at medium per the chef’s recommendation. For dessert, we shared a generous slice of the whiskey cake, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The house-made whipped cream alone deserves a shoutout — honestly, I could eat a bowl of just that. And a special mention to our server, Kayla — she was fantastic. Friendly, attentive without hovering, and genuinely warm. She felt like an instant friend and made the experience even better. If you’re dining here, definitely ask for her. We’ll absolutely be back.
Brunch at Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar was an absolute win. I went with a girlfriend for a relaxing brunch, and everything, from the food to the vibe, delivered. I ordered the steak hash, and wow. Perfectly cooked, tender steak, rich flavors, and a beautifully runny egg that tied everything together. My friend had the shrimp and grits, and it was just as impressive, creamy grits, seasoned shrimp. Cocktails and Mocktails were also good. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, ideal for lingering conversation, and catching up over great food. Service was attentive without hovering, which always feels like a small miracle during brunch hours. If you’re looking for a place that does brunch well, this is it. We’ll absolutely be back,nprobably sooner than planned.
This was my first time, and maybe my last. This is the type of place that reminds us that not everyone likes every restaurant. This place has it's pros and cons. The food, a hot honey chicken sandwich, was very good. The whiskey cake was eh... Just eh, if you like toffee you'll like the dessert, if you don't you won't. I didn't. We went Christmas Eve during happy hour and it wasnt that crowded, but the service was a bit slow. And one last thing, don't sit at the high top tables on the front side of the restaurant. There is a bench on the window side that has a metal bar for a back, and it's uncomfortable, even with pillows they provide. It's a poor design. The bar area is really cool and looks like fun. The atmosphere is fun and entertaining, the staff had on ugly Christmas sweaters for a light mood. Have fun and remember, this is just one guys opinion.
One of my favorite places to eat, no matter what city I’m in, however, I’ve been to this location twice and I cannot recommend it enough. Friendly and accommodating staff, wonderful food and drinks and sultry atmosphere make it such a wonderful place to gather with friends or a date night. We came in pretty late this time, about 45 minutes before close. I ordered my favorite, the Winchester, and my husband ordered his favorite, the Smoked Ol Fashion which were both made perfectly. We also ordered 2 candied bacon and the goat cheese fondue and it was just what the doctor ordered. We haven’t had anything we were not impressed with but the candied bacon and goat cheese fondue are always a hit for us. Thank you guys for always providing the best customer service and yummys!!
