Ambience: low lighting, high unfinished ceiling. Acoustics arent great. Its loud, and hard to have a conversation at normal volume. Lighting is okay after your eyes adjust. Feels a bit like dining under the stars. Food: I had the She Crab soup app with the Whiskey burger and fries. She Crab was decently flavored, but definitely not the best Ive had. Pleasant chunk of crab in the middle of the bowl. Burger was thick and juicy. I ordered medium, but it came medium well. Not a huge deal. Burger included onion straws, which were tepid, and thick, hearty, slices of bacon. The BBQ sauce was excellent. Sweet and savory with a hint if smoke. Not your average A1 knockoff. Fries were the average shoe-string variety. Very skinny and seasoned with salt. Not worth the effort :) The chips, that my companion ordered, on the other hand were a real standout. Thick, crispy, and fried fresh. Seasoned perfectly and had a perfect satisfying crunch. If you are a fan of both, go with the chips. You wont be sorry. Dessert was a blonde brownie a la mode. Brownie was warm and delicious with blends of white and dark chocolate. Enough substance to chew without being too firm. Vanilla ice cream was a great counterpoint in flavor and temperature. Service: Waitress was great. Very attentive with a genial personality. Brought food and drinks quickly and took care of our table with what seemed like ease. Great job! Conclusion: Overall this was a good experience. Id rate the food a four and the service a 5. The ambience is the killer for me. Its too loud to have a conversation and I couldnt see coming back for anything but a raucous guys night. Not good for entertaining a guest or a first date. But then again, Im probably far too Frasier-ish for this establishment.

Oh my goodness! So delicious and has a really cool atmosphere. We arent vegans or vegetarians but the beer burger was really good. Also the shrimp street taco was really good! My husband wished he got that! It was a nice fresh taco. A lot of other restaurants add too much mayo to shrimp tacos but not this one. It was the perfect balance. The soft pretzel appetizer with the cheese dip is a must! Our waitress was really nice and I think it was the restaurant manager turned the air to a warmer temperature because she could tell we looked cold. We likes that she was observant and thoughtful. We hope to be back next year when we come back for vacation!! :)

Food is Great, Beer and cocktail selection is plentiful, and service is fantastic. However it is a bit pricey. i ordered the chef catch of the day, it was a blackend mahi with greenbeens and fries. sounded good, but i dont believe this it was worth 20 bucks. My girl got a pineapple chicken sandwich, tasted excellent, way better than the mahi, and it was only 8 dollars, came with fries and a salad. If youre in for beer and burgers, this is the place to go, if you want fish or something fancy. its gonna cost you. Overall great experience, just not for my wallet.

If you are into fried foods this is your place. Not a healthy item on the menu and not much variety of choices. I usually have trouble deciding what to get because everything sounds good - with Whiskey Kitchen I couldnt decide because nothing was light or non-fried with the exception of the fish tacos. Not my choice on any occasion. The only good selection was the alcohol. Please update the menu, talk about unimaginative and unhealthy! Why couldnt the crawfish tails come sautéed instead of fried, or the fish? I will not be going back.

We got she crab soup, fried pickles, shrimp tacos, bbq chicken pizza, and jalapeno popper pizza. It was all amazing. The bbq sauce on the bbq chicken pizza was sweet and tangy, it was so good. When the jalapeno popper pizza came out it was burnt. The manager (who was busing tables and helping guests) noticed me looking at it. He immediately took it back and had a new one made for me. He even took it off the bill, even after I said that wasnt necessary. All of the food was so so good. We will definitely be coming back.

Was an excellent restaurant experience. I had the Santorino (the dish pictured with the lettuce wraps) and my date had the Shrimp Street Tacos. Both dishes were superb. I loved the vegetarian options available and the high quality ingredients used. The wait staff was extremely friendly. The waitress who took our orders was vey personable and nice, and turns out we were from the same neck of the woods in New England! The atmosphere is very modern and clean. Enjoy your visit!

All Around Awesome! WK has a unique menu and the food tastes great. The atmosphere is chill and works for casual meet ups or families. Their spirits are quality so any drink you order will probably be a sure pleaser. The service is superb which always keeps me coming back to any establishment. The prices are reasonable for the servings. Ill definitely keep returning to this restaurant! And its 30 minutes away from my home so that should tell you how good it is.

Service was absolutely capable and knowledgeable. Food was delicious and my whiskey burger was cooked perfectly at the request of medium rare. The $10 Dark Hollow stout was unforgettable and paired very nicely with my burger. I wrote this as I sit in here. Also, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the slightly dim lighting is quite mellow. An excellent experience for the price that was charged. My family will definitely return for more of the delicious food.

This restaurant has impressed me every time I have gone (takeout and sit down). The wait staff, manager, food and drinks are all amazing! They really pay attention to your needs and truly want you to get your moneys worth. Last time I went, I ended up not being a big fan of my meal (found out I didnt like black beans-my fault) and the manager helped me choose something different and they paid for both entrees. I highly recommend this place!

Went here on a date night New Years Eve, before seeing a movie. The vibe is trendy but not too trendy like most places. Husband got a favorite local beer, I got a good Malbec. We shared the chips and cheese appetizer; which pleasantly surprised us. The chips were homemade and the cheese dip was unique and tasty. We shared the jalapeno popper pizza, which was AMAZING. The crust was like none other. We were extremely pleased.

Everything about this place is awesome! Staff is very friendly, I really enjoy the ambiance of the establishment, they have a robust selection of craft beers and stocked bar. Lets not even get started on the food, I try something new every time I come here and havent been let down yet. Perfect place for a date night, or stop off with friends before a night out. Do yourself a favor and try this place!

I am giving Whiskey Kitchen a 5 because I ordered a burger for my wife and it crumbled apart. It was brought to the attention of the head chef and he personally came over to our table to apologize. On top of that he remade the entire meal all over again to our satisfaction. That is what I called customer service. I will definitely be back here and recommend it to all my friends.
