I went to Whiskey Cake in Plano, TX for dinner with my family and had a nice time.
We started off with the Crab Fritters and the Thai BBQ Duck Wings. I really enjoyed the Crab Fritters, despite not usually enjoying similar items like crab cakes. The Crab Fritters didn't have a strong "crabby" taste, and they came with a delicious chive crema that was very refreshing and pleasant with the fried spheres. I'm giving it an 8.5/10.
The Thai BBQ Duck Wings were also good; had a sweet, salty, and sticky glaze. I don't get the "Thai" part of the dish but it did have Asian flavors. I'm giving this a 7.5/10
For our mains, we got the Rotisserie Farm Bird, the Bone-In Pork Chop, the French Onion Burger, and the Wood Grilled Salmon. I would recommend the Pork Chop. Despite it being such a big cut of meat, it was still so tender and juicy. The pork chop also came with carrots, grilled greens, and other root veggies that were also well-cooked and delicious. The pork chops get an 8.5/10. The Rotisserie Farm Bird was very juicy as well with a delicious chicken jus that had me dipping all the vegetables in it. I definitely recommend this main as well. The chicken gets an 8.3/10.
Finally, we ordered their namesake-- the Whiskey Cake! This dessert is huge! It easily feeds 5! This is a sticky toffee cake with bourbon anglaise, pecans, and their house-made whipped cream. I enjoyed this dessert but honestly, the cake itself was a bit crumbly/dry. I appreciated that it wasn't overly chocolatey and that the flavors paired well with the pecans, whipped cream, and custardy creme anglaise. The cake gets a 7.5/10.
Overall, solid dinner/brunch spot serving up "American" style food.
