Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar

We had an amazing experience at Whiskey Cake, thanks in large part to our incredible server, Miguel. From the moment we sat down, Miguel went above and beyond: friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. He took the time to walk us through the menu, made some killer recommendations, and even convinced me to step out of my comfort zone and try the steak rare (I usually go medium rare)… and wow, he was right. It was absolutely perfect. There was also an older gentleman, possibly the GM, who stopped by a few times to check on us, which made us feel extra cared for. But Miguel was the real star. His energy, service, and attention to detail made our day. My friends and I had such a great time, and we’ll definitely be back, especially if we get lucky enough to sit in Miguel’s section again. He made it feel like more than just brunch, it was a whole vibe.

We had dinner at whiskey cake-stafford for Valentine’s day. As expected, the place was busy so I managed to make a reservation via Open Table. Despite having a reservation, we had a 18 minute wait time to be seated (thus the 4-star rating). We sat down in the cozy leather couch and were offered drinks while we waited for our table. We ordered an old fashion and a seasonal drink (I can’t recall the name) and both were tasty! Once seated our server introduced himself right away and quickly took our order. We ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer which came out rather fast. We ordered the wood grilled salmon and Farmhouse rotisserie chicken. Our food took about 40 minutes to come out (our server explained that the kitchen was backed up and checked on us during the wait). We sipped on our drinks and patiently waited for our food. The food came out hot and everything tasted delicious. Had it not been for the longer wait times, this would have been a five star review. Nonetheless, we recommend WC and will be returning.

Food was great, our waitress was super sweet! First time here, was super stoked to try it due to high recommendations. I enjoy how dim it is inside the restaurant. I did go later in the evening but still a chill vibe. Started with their Deviled eggs, I probably wouldn’t get them again. It had a lot going on for my preference. We did try their Brussels sprouts, loved them. For my main entree I had their “Steak Frite”. My piece of meat was cook to perfection, I will forever rave about their fries. So much flavor, had some garlic to it plus the parmesan on top. Nice golden crunch. On top, the meal had Shishitos peppers. To me they weren’t spicy whatsoever, I wish it had a kick. Over all, everything was amazing. I can’t wait to come back to try more. Another note, I’ve heard good things about their Whiskey selection for those who enjoy a good Whiskey drink.

My boyfriend and I come here pretty often. We love the vibe and service is always great. The only complaint is they keep changing the menu and it’s not for the better. Bring back the original grilled salmon with gravy and potatoes!! They have this new version with squash and salsa verde. It’s awful! The vegetables have no business being paired with this salmon. My boyfriend loved their chicken chopped salad which was removed off the menu and brought back?? The food was fine. Quit fixing something that wasn’t broken.

Well, I have never tried Whiskey Cake, I regret I have taken so long to make my way here. I was super pleased with the happy hour. The bartender, Sam took great care of me and the manager Margaret even made her way over to check in on me and give me a small sample of the pickled veggies and olives after I complimented how good it was on the cheese and meat board. I later enjoyed the country toast with the whipped goat cheese, Thai basil and date syrup. I can just say wow! Thank you for the great service while I finished working. I’ll be back to try the Thai Barbecue Duck Wings.

Food, drinks, atmosphere, cleanliness, staff are ALL AMAZING!! All the staff were so humble and genuinely nice people.. The food and drinks are so gooood!!! Would recommend 100% not too overpriced either which is a mega win win:)

Our server Devontae was good. He took our drink orders, suggested menu items, and the food came out hot and ready for eating 😋. The Whiskey Cake is a must-have! I called Devontae over and asked if it was safe to drive home, and he assured me that it was.

We went to Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar for a gathering- and I can’t thank them enough for how well they handled a big group party. Our server was perfect, she coordinated everything very well and came checking on us frequently. The food was great, I got the pasta and the signature whiskey cake, which I would definitely come back for more. I didn’t get any drinks that day but everyone in our group liked what they ordered.

I really like this place! Consistently good every time I've gone. Great whisky menu (to be expected with a name like this). I've sat alone at the bar or a table with friends and always had good service and good food! Some of my favorites: Any whiskey cocktail really ;) :: Deviled Eggs, Hummus, FGT, and Drunk Mussels to start :: for the mains Farm Bird, Shrimp & Grits, and Wood Grilled Salmon :: Finish it off with Whiskey Cake of course. Really and truly I haven't had one bad thing here! Enjoy!!

Traditional American food with a trendy/ high-end aesthetic. I came here during a dry time for me, so I didn't bother with the alcohol. However, the bar is beautiful, and from my vantage point, they had the type of whiskies a girl like me would enjoy. The food was traditional with just enough of a twist that it makes you curious enough to want to come back. I was very pleased with the service when my husband and I went here as the waiter was excellent and now a days it's hard to find decent waiters. You do have to try the whiskey cake, because it is scrumptious. The bar and restaurant has a very nice smell to it and the whiskey cake smell permeates the door when you enter. It's a lovely smell. If you hate whiskey cake...uh sorry? It's definitely on my must go try out again list.

I went here to celebrate someone's birthday. I ordered the Lemongrass Shrimp & Noodle salad. Sometimes salads can be a throw-away dish, but not here. It was very fresh with lots of flavor. I loved the basil ginger dressing and the presentation was very appealing. I liked the whiskey cake but it was rather dense (perhaps because I got it to go). But the candied pecans and whipped cream were divine. The service was hit and miss -- which was surprising for a restaurant in this price point. I will return -- and maybe have the cake at the restaurant next time.

What a wonderful spot to start the weekend with a nicely cooked breakfast and great atmosphere. Servers were great . Everything we need for a breakfast .

I've dined at Whiskey Cake too many times to count and the photos and videos are probably front different locations. Every time I eat here, it's hands down delicious! No concerns! It's never a long wait to get your food and it's cooked properly. Customer service is amazing! My only dislike is the chairs, so uncomfortable.

Nice rustic vibe. Whiskey cake is huge and can be shared among 2-4 people. Brussel sprouts were delicious and the rib hash bowl as well

I enjoyed myself at Whiskey Cake. The atmosphere was amazing and I loved the rustic/country type theme. Maybe like a farm to table vibe but still loved it. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was delicious. The waffle was not too doughy and perfectly sweet. The chicken ........ chefs kiss. I love when places have a great fried chicken recipe. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and made conversation with us. That's always a plus. I had a great time and would come back.

Great food & ambiance! I got the chicken and waffles which were like a 7.5/10 for me (I personally don't like tenders for this BUT these were very well done! Super crisp and flavorful). The toddler I dined with also loved the tenders. The table also got the charcuterie board which had more yummy goodies. Wish I got a picture of the whiskey cake but it was devoured before the camera had a chance. Seems like a great place for groups big and small!

First time here and all was wonderful!! The parking lot is big with plenty of free parking. The entrance is a beautiful walk way lined with rosemary and other beautiful plants. We got seated at a booth that had a lovely view. We had the best time at Whiskey Cake Stafford Texas from the service to the food. I had a delicious salad while my husband had a mouthwatering cheese burger. For dessert we had the delicious whiskey-cake, which did not disappoint.

Let's start at our waiter. He was obviously stretched too thin and handled it very well. He did a great job. Secondly, old fashioned was quite tasty. Very weak but flavor was great. If the drink is weak it needs to taste perfect. Now the meals. My wife had shrimp and grits and it was very good. However, should have not been $27 for the portion size. For how little they gave us I could see a 14-17 dollar price tag but not $27 for maybe a cup of grits and 6 pieces of shrimp. Lastly, the chicken and waffles. This one was just dandy. I got all the sauces on the side because I didn't trust gravy and syrup to mix well. I was wrong. These were perfect. Ask for everything extra crispy and for the sauces on the side so it doesn't become a soggy mess. Just a pro tip! Enjoy!

Love this place. Great food , great service, friendly staff. Super clean restaurant. Everything was just perfect

The interior and atmosphere of this restaurant was cute and western like. For the most part the service was great but our main waitress, seemed a bit annoyed. Everyone else that helped us out was nice. The ruby slipper was a great refreshing drink. It was tart from the lemon but the fresh strawberry balanced it out. Definitely recommend. The tavern burger was nothing crazy. It tasted like a regular old burger. The fries were great and crispy. The whiskey cake was worth the visit. There was a strong spice in it possibly nutmeg. It was soft and warm. It came with house made whipped cream and an anglaise on the side. The whipped cream was some of the best whipped cream I've ever had, and the anglaise was a good addiction to it.

Finally tried something new lol. I was looking for a non fast food option, something light but sick of salads. I chose the hummus plate and I'm so glad I did. The combination of herbs and spices was amazing. Fresh crisp veggies and warm pita served alongside. The deviled eggs at the time were blt inspired.

Came in for a quick dinner and drink. Service was prompt and friendly, food was tasty and cooked perfectly. It's a nicer dining experience than most chain restaurants but nothing too fancy

I went to whiskey cake for the first time for a date and had a great time. The ambiance is very pretty with a nice bar and pretty aesthetic. The food and flavors was unique to me. I got the American pie old fashion. I got the crab fritters, steak frites, and pork ribs. My favorite dish was the crab fritters. The server, Alexis, was amazing. She always checked up on us and was very attentive. She always greeted with a warm smile and her energy was very positive.

The ambiance, food and service are all 5 stars. I love the old, wood-burning tavern feel with cozy seating options. The food is delicious but the drinks are where it's at. Any type of alcohol your heart desires and mixed so elegantly. Our waitress was very kind for our huge reservation of 20. Great experience all around!

The appetizers was were fulfilling, the candied beacon bites was thick, sweet very good. The deviled eggs were OK, I need to try them in another season. The spicy hummus was spicy and the vegetables were very fresh and crisp. Enough for two people. I'm in love with that atmosphere. Great Vibes The pasta entrées were very good And served at the right temperature, generous with portions. Also, we didn't have to wait on drink refills. Get ready for the icing on the cake. OM! the whiskey cake was amazing, very light and moist with glazed pecans on top of chocolate icing. I was too full to really appreciate it. Since this was my second time at the restaurant. I felt like I really needed to try the namesake . I think it would make a nice presentation to also give someone a slice of birthday cake.

We went on Saturday evening so it was pretty busy and packed, however, our service was absolutely great. Our waitress was very quick and attentive and the manager was as well. The roasted garlic humus was so delicious we enjoyed it all. My boyfriend devoured his chicken and waffles lol. The pasta was also very good. I had the el Jalisco, their take on an old fashion with tequila. Very good and very strong haha. The restaurant was very clean and a great vibe, so we will definitely make it a point to visit more often!

My second trip to this location. I love the vibe. Elevated country Chic. Imagine your Cracker Barrel was serving a wide array of whiskeys and the interior was posh but still comfortable. Minus the rocking chairs of course. However, they do have some Singh overstuffed and tall chairs around the fire pit. The options of drinks are nearly endless. Specialty flights of whiskey and whisky. And enough other spirits to fill the haunted mansion at both parks. And even some fresh non-alc options that look like winners. I had the manager's (Aaron) choice of flight, "Strength in Numbers." It's a selection of their in-house barrel selects. He told about his most recent trip to Buffalo Trace for their next picks. Now for the food. This candied bacon is to die for. The pork belly is so good, but the aioli elevated it to nirvana standards. If it is still here when you, don't miss the ascension. I missed a pic of the IPA scallops. The sauce has chorizo and little peppers. The little pops are such a delight. The server even offered to set aside the juice for us to take home! I could bathe in it. Final appetizer was the deviled eggs. Each with a little cherry tomato half on top that peaked the freshness. Since we went after so many starters, we split a steak so we could have room for the namesake dessert. The Ribeye was like buttah. They split it on 2 plates for us. The mushrooms were delicious and perfectly complimented the dish. What can I say about the whiskey cake. There is a reason for it being eponymous. Even if you are absolutely stuffed, make sure you get it to go. And finally, the service. The staff is stellar. Can't say enough. But two specific instances stand out. As we order the second round of apps, she input the deviled eggs and they magically appeared at the table as she turned away. And then when we ordered the cake, the server asked if we were ok with pecans. As she walked away, a table mate, under their breath said, " Of course, we want extra pecans!" And they the cake came with a crown of so many pecans!!! I can't wait to come back again.

I would endorse this establishment for their beverages, cuisine, and exceptional service.

I really enjoyed the hot chicken sandwich. It was nice and crispy, my waitress was very attentive and it was a chill spot to go with friends or family on any day of the week. The whiskey cake is a must!

I ordered the American Steelhead fish plate. It was alright, not very flavorful. It came with beans and spinach. The menu didn't say those veggies would also come with a gooey, White Velveeta mixture,but it does. It tasted like processed canned cheese. Didn't care for it. My friend had the burger. It was above average. Thick and juicy but you can get those anywhere. Nothing to write home about. Service was PAINFULLY slow. Never checked on us -- not once. We had to flag them down and call for them anytime we needed anything. When we said we had been waiting for our check for half an hour, the waitress said, "Oh, you looked busy talking."

What a great dinner destination. The ambiance was so warm and cozy with a stone fireplace complete with leather couches to recline in with a cocktail. The menu is farm to table. Appetizers of goat cheese fondue, pork belly appetizers, and chicken sausage in hummus were good enough to be fought over by the table. The chicken melt sandwich was incredible for such a simple sandwich and the home made potato chips were the perfect compliment. Leave room for the whiskey cake but beware the size. Definitely big enough to share!!

Fabulous food and attentive service. Great for larger groups. We had a group of 8 + 2 kids meet after church for brunch and we all enjoyed the upscale but comfortable ambiance. The restaurant has plenty of seating options in different arrangements and we had no wait for our reservation. Our group tried many items, personally I tried the cinnamon roll (amazing!) and got the chicken burger but subbed w the hot hen crispy patty. Sandwich was huge and so tasty, made for great leftovers as well. Hubby enjoyed his breakfast board. They had no problem splitting our checks. Something for everyone on the menu. Highly recommend!

Whiskey Cake is different the best thing I had were the duck wings I highly recommend those . The ambiance is chill calm smells great inside . The service was great no complaints the main food rigatoni pasta was decent not amassed but fresh and good enough still I recommend get the duck wings. Overall it was a decent experience I don't think I'll go back just because I expected a bit more .

We sat at the bar , I order the drunk mussels, the flavor was good it just had a slight fishy smell, we also got the chocolate pie, which was so good the severice was awesome, I think the guys name was Christian, short guy with glasses, really nice and attentive! Keep up the great work young man!

So they definitely put a lot of thought and care into the ambiance of the place as it was really nice and a great spot to hang out with friends, family, date night, etc. If you are coming to have a good time and not worry about the food, this is the spot cause boy was the food a downer. The hummus was good and brussel sprouts was okay, not really the greatest. The hot hen was just a hot dud. Not only was it not spicy in any sense of the word spice, but the sandwhich itself had literally no taste. It's like they just put potato bread and fried chicken together and added like a dab of the sauce they claim is on it. I honestly had to have it with mustard just to give it some kind of taste, and that's saying something. Fries were also pretty basic. My family had some of their salads as well and didn't enjoy much of them either. All in all, if you need a good place to hang out for drinks with decent appetizers, this probably works. For an actual meal, you got options right next to them that I would recommend just going to.

Girls night out with some good food and drinks. Our server was very talkative and gave good menu suggestions. The portions are small but the food tastes great. I enjoyed every bite of my shrimp & grits. It was flavorful and creamy. I just wish there was a little more of it. The duck wings were also yummy. I love the sauce on it. Deviled eggs were average. Good but not a star. Maybe some candy bacon crumbles on top would elevate them. Or some type of crunch. And never skip dessert! They only have their whiskey cake as an option but you don't need any other options. That cake is delicious!

I had a great brunch, although I can't recall the exact name of the dish I ordered. I do remember that it was recommended by the waiter, who was phenomenal. His service stood out for his friendly interaction with customers. He was able to chat with my buddy and me without overwhelming us, which I really appreciated. Sometimes you encounter waiters who talk too much or hardly at all, but he struck the perfect balance and was very personable. As for the food, I had a delicious sandwich that included eggs and some kind of meat--I can't remember the specific details, but it was really tasty! If you have never been, it's pretty cool. The atmosphere is nice and very hipster-ish, if that's even a word. Highly recommended.

I literally love everything about. Whiskey Cake. I come here any chance I can. Drinks, food, and ambiance is amazing. I wish they had one in Houston!

Great Atmosphere. Great Food. Great Service. I will definitely be coming back to tryout other menu items.

The night before we stopped by and the wait was 1 1/2 hours for a table so we decided to make reservations right there for the next day. Very beautiful place. Staff very friendly. Order cheese melt, and turkey chili Farmers market breakfast. Which they replaced pork chop with bacon. I don't eat pork or red meat so not sure how that will affect the pork chop lovers. All the food was amazing. Great flavors and cooked very well. Was somewhat upset that the adult Mac & cheese had bacon and blue cheese in it. Asked prior about pork and was told no. But I'm not holding that against our server. She was new and was very helpful with everything else. The turkey chili with corn chips was freak amazing. I should have gotten the bowl instead of cup. I will be returning to this establishment and will be tell EVERYONE ABOUT Always thankful for what you all do. Really loved the survival kits. Hope entourage staff is all safe and continue to be blessed

Fresh food. They don't have any freezers so all the food is brought fresh and made fresh. The service is great and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. Oh you better get some of their chocolate cake. It is great.

Im super close to this restaurant,i have gone back so many times now over the years, is usually our to go place when is late and we don't want to cook. love the farmers board, we were told it changes every 6 months but overall all is a good appetizer/meal every time i have it. The whiskey cake itself is also good. So far all drink we have order haven't been of our liking

The food was good the service was ok. I feel the waitress was faking it. You can tell she was just trying to be nice for a tip but her face showed otherwise which was annoying. Always a nice place on the inside very clean and cozy.

Fourth time here and it never disappoints. The various items I've tried have all been solid. Today's items consisted of chicken salad, chicken and waffles, and hot chicken sandwich. (Pictured). Let me just say, we did not need any to-go containers. We devoured our food. Service was excellent. Our server, Mitch, was very attentive despite having a very busy section.

Subject: Disappointing Experience Today Dear Whiskey Cake Management, Today's lunch to celebrate a coworker's birthday fell short of expectations. Slow service, menu confusion regarding vegetarian options, forgotten requests, and a delayed Whiskey Cake left us disappointed. Despite assurance from our server that the veggie patty was made in-house, it turned out to be an Impossible Meat patty. We hope for improved experiences in the future.

This restaurant has been on my "places to go to in Sugarland list" and I was a tad bit disappointed by one of the main dishes -- The Whiskey Braised Beef. As you cut into the braised beef, it falls right off (which is a great tease) because then you anticipate that it'll also melt in your mouth, right? Well, this Whiskey Braised Beef lacked the deliciousness factor. The meat tasted rather dry and it was hard to chew. The pulled pork 3 Little Pigs sliders also were missing a sauce-like texture. Due to my dairy allergy and dislike of pickles, I had the cole slaw and pickles put on the side for my boyfriend. It may have tasted better with the cole slaw, but we both weren't a fan of the pork sliders on its own. The pretzel bun was crispy and burnt. THE GOOD STUFF: 10/10 If you're looking for a sweet and fruity drink, I highly recommend The Great Escape Elixir! 10/10 If you like peppery drinks, go for The Mangolorian! Even the name is telling you that this drink is the WAY! 10/10 If you fancy a whiskey flight, try the Irish option! My boyfriend truly found the pours to be enticing and just the right size. 10/10 Candied bacon was a satisfyingly sweet and scrumptious treat prior to our main course! 10/10 Industrial vibes and home-like decor 10/10 Attentive service An ideal place for a date night... but it is family friendly since I saw families dine here on a Saturday evening.

I'm giving up on this restaurant. The quality of their food has been steadily declining for the past two years. They can't make a good burger--it's tasteless and either overcooked or undercooked. The bread is always soggy. In fact, they don't make a single good sandwich. Their fries come in tiny bits and pieces, often burned or dry. Moreover, the options on their menu have also been reduced over the years. I am convinced these issues are limited to this location, because their Webster branch does a much, much better job serving the same menu.

Loved the ambiance, service and food selections. I had shrimp and grits and my sister had salmon. Both were very good. Shared a whiskey cake dessert and it was amazing. Will visit again if in the area and also try other locations.

I got the Lemongrass Shrimp and Noodle Salad. Aside from the shrimp, it wasn't good. It was bland. I had the hummus. It wasn't great but the gluten free bread was good. I also got the Ruby Slipper juice/mocktail. It was good but filled with ice to the top. Our waiter had a attitude and she seemed to be over-worked while there were a couple white women who were obviously over her standing around doing barely anything. We waited like 10-15 minutes just to give our credit card for payment. This place a very bland and WASPy vibe.

This was our first time at the restaurant and it was great! The atmosphere makes you feel like you're walking into a speakeasy. It gives comfortable, lounge kickback. The customer service from the time we walked in until we left was top notch. The hostess made us feel like we were the only ones on the restaurant. We sat outside and because the patio was covered it wasn't too hot. The patio even had a comfy feel. Our server Brandon gave great suggestions for the menu. He took time to listen to what we were interested in and gave his recommendations on sides, drinks, etc. We decided to go with some fresh juice (Rubby slippers and the Hulk), smoked chopped salad and substituted the chicken with salmon, BBQ glazed duck wings and flash fried Brussels sprouts. All of it was finger licking good. To top it off, we had the whiskey cake for dessert. I mean we could come to the whiskey cake without making sure they have lived up to their name. It's "hurt me so good" tasty. We will definitely be back!!

Such a lovely place. Been meaning to try it and finally got around to it. Great location right off 59. Our waiter was so sweet and accommodating. I got the Steak and frites which was cooked to perfection and the fries were crisp and hot. I knocked down a star only because the seasoning was so overpowering I couldn't taste passed the rosemary in the dish. Will try something else next time!

Very nice atmosphere. I came in just for a quick drink. The dining room is very dark but it fits well with the decor and furniture. The whiskey options are extremely diverse as I expected. However, as a non-whiskey pro I was hoping for a little more guidance from the bartender on the best flight based on my preferences. He was friendly and checked on me often but wasn't able to give a solid recommendation. I ordered the bourbon flight and was satisfied with the pours and tastes. I did not eat but I will definitely go back and dive into menu and hope for a server that can provide recommendations.

Came here for brunch while visiting Houston and it did not disappoint. Katy girl you rock. I sat at the bar and Katy was my server. She gave me a few suggestions. The first cocktail I had was the raspberry bohemian it was really tasty. I followed that up with whiskey flight. Both were good. Fried green tomatoes were delicious and the pork sliders were good. I highly recommend and would even come back when I visit!

I had the Hot Hen sandwich and Devil Eggs for the appetizer and both were delicious . My grandkids enjoyed the devil eggs which is surprising because Josiyah is a very ticky eater

Went for a work event. The restaurant is so cute with a wide range of farm to table choices. The three starters were delicious. The fried green tomatoes with a remoulade dipping sauce were delicious. The hummus served with a assortment of pita triangles and fresh veggies was so good. So cute how they served the spears of cucumbers and carrots in a glass jar. The deviled eggs were so unique. Thanks for accommodating some to be served without bacon. The salmon served with squash and other veggies was okay. The sides of green beans were also okay. For dessert? Of course, the whiskey cake with fresh house made whipped cream. A whiskey toffee cake served with a bourbon anglaise and spiced pecans. So delicious! Unfortunately, the room that we were in was quite noisy. Even louder each time the sliding doors were opened. Perfect for a baby shower or a GNO, but not great for trying to listen to a speaker. Service was excellent though. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is cute with indoor and outdoor seating.

First time visiting this place and was surprised how nice it was as I walked in. If gives off date vibe as you walk into the low light dinning area. As you are walked to your table you can't help but notice the giant wall of liquor. The staff is friendly and helpful. I was walked thru the menu and told personal favorites from my waitress. I told her I wanted to keep it simple after a long day at the office and she suggested the cheese burger. When she brought this monster out, which didn't take very long. The first words out of my mouth was "damn now that's a burger!" My waitress smiled and said enjoy. I had to lift the bun and wish I had taken a pic. Double meat, double cheese, double bacon, double goodness! I dove in and took a bit, the meat was so tender and juicy. The veggies were fresh and just the right amount. The side of chips are house made and had the perfect crunch! I'm looking forward to going back and making this a regular spot for me. Might be my new first date spot!

Their food is delicious, especially their signature whiskey cake. Their prices are a bit high. They put so much ice in the drinks more than the drink itself. Their staff is very attentive.
