Whiskey Inferno Meat House & Craft Bar

We visited at the beginning of Happy Hour on a Friday - Service and atmosphere really saved the experience. Our server (Vy !!) was amazing, great conversationalist and a consistently update demeanor! The atmosphere was very chill for the start of Happy hour, and really hadn't picked up much by 5pm - great music at the right volume and pleasantly populated and conversational. The steak (Fillet 7oz) was the star and could have been a five star on its own, obviously cooked to order and perfectly medium rare. The Rib, Brisket, Sausage plate was what brought things down to a 3 average... Yeah, that means it was a 2 star of that had been all we ordered - the ribs were buried in a dry rub that had absorbed what small amount of moisture was left in the ribs, the brisket was a 50/50 deal - one portion still had the perfectly rendered fat on it, the other portion was the tip and had neither fast nor moisture left. The Elk Sausage had memories of being fantastic, but it too was over-cooked (second day on the grill... For a Friday?)

My co-workers chose this place due to the aesthetic and extensive menu. It's kind of shocking to know that this was a former Applebee's but I can see it. Their design team is obviously genius! They were able to work with the elements that were already there, yet elevate it to the point of no recognition. The food was so good! No regrets on having my farewell dinner here! The brisket on my sandwich had a very hearty smoke to it which I feel like a lot of BBQ places in the Midwest fail to do. The meat was tender and juicy, and the portions were huge! You definitely get more than your money's worth. We came in during the afternoon Happy Hour--highly recommend the Brisket Tater Kegs! Our server told us about their half-off steak and wine specials that occur EVERY NIGHT at 9pm. This place is wonderful! I'll have to come in again the next time I work in the Twin Cities!

This place has a beautiful ambiance and a great vibe overall. The drinks were excellent, and the service was friendly and attentive. However, the food was a bit of a letdown. We tried the brisket sandwich on a cornbread bun — unfortunately, the bun didn’t taste great, and the brisket was overly salty. We also ordered the onion rings, which were massive. While they could be a meal on their own, they had a heavy batter and thick-cut onions that made them feel a bit overwhelming. I specifically came for the onion soup, but that too was disappointingly salty. Despite the food falling short, the welcoming atmosphere and solid service made the experience more enjoyable.

Came here to eat lunch with my parents and it went great! We were sitting outside and enjoying the weather. Had a new work stake, cheese curds with Jam (turn out it's really good) and I had ribs with brisket. Everything was delicious, BBQ sauce for ribs was a little too thick in my opinion. Ranch was okay. Service is top notch. Definitely will be back.

First time customer and I was very pleased with my visit. The atmosphere is nice with dim lighting and wood accents everywhere. The old books on the shelves was a nice touch. I ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer and whatever that berry sauce is that comes with it is a delicious surprise, idk what it is but its good. For my entrée I ordered chicken and brisket and it was very good. My wife ordered the bacon cheesburger and it was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were delicious as well as the macaroni and cheese. On Thursdays thru have live music and this was also very enjoyable.

Picked this place off of others reviews. You all did not let me down! The food was reasonably priced and just damn good! Came here before a ladies night at the casino and I'm glad we opted to go off property. Our server was awesome as well as our entire experience. One of the ladies in our party is a whisky girly and she loved their selection and the presentation. The onion rings were a huge hit and the combo plates were enough for 2 of us and had left overs. I will be back if I'm in the area.

Food: 6.5/10 The menu offers a solid selection of meats and classic steakhouse fare, but the execution was a bit inconsistent. While the cuts were well-seasoned and cooked to the requested temperature, some dishes lacked the wow factor expected at this price point. The sides were decent but not particularly memorable. A few items felt slightly over-salted, and some lacked depth of flavor. It wasn’t bad by any means, but for a place that specializes in meat, I expected a bit more refinement. Service: 10/10 The service, on the other hand, was absolutely top-tier. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. Our server went above and beyond to ensure a great experience, offering thoughtful recommendations and checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. Drinks were refilled promptly, and there was a real effort to make us feel welcomed and valued. Atmosphere & Overall Experience: The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a lively yet relaxed vibe. It’s a great spot for a casual night out or a special occasion, though I do wish the food lived up to the high standard set by the service. Final Verdict: While the food was good but not outstanding, the impeccable service made the visit worthwhile. If they can refine the execution of their dishes, this place could be a true standout. Would I return? Maybe, but mostly for the service and atmosphere rather than the food itself.

To loud as they had a guy singing. Sounded good but loud. We couldnt talk toveach other. Corn bread tasted like fish. My daughter had to swallow whatever was in her mouth from the bite she took. Had nothing so she could spit out. We told server who took it and took it off tge ticket. But no manager ever came over to apologize. Nothing. Server didnt even apologize. Steak was bla texas rd household of been better. We were visiting so we wanted to try something new.
