Whiskey Kitchen

I really like this place. The atmosphere was nice and beautiful. I’m a plant person so I loved the plants theme. The service was great. Everyone was very attentive and spoke to you, friendly and made sure you were okay and being helped. The food was great. I got the grain bowl, flavor was so good and amazing and the farm cheese was good, we got the hibiscus drink called the “botanisc” ! That drink is straight fire. I highly recommend this place.

Very cool spot. Food was delicious and the drinks were great. There is something for everyone on the menu. The chicken sandwich was great. My sister got the chefs board which she enjoyed. I also enjoyed all the plants around the restaurant, especially the beautiful fiddle leaf fig on the bar!

Whiskey Kitchen was one of the highlights of our recent Raleigh trip. The large, open air space and skylights create a nice ambiance to have a round or two. Without question, Beer & Loathing is one of the greatest cocktails I've ever had. Five ingredients (bourbon, cynar, lemon, honey, ipa} that blend perfectly together. The other drinks were equally thoughtful. At one point we chatted with who I'm assuming was the owner/manager and asked about the history of the building. Very pleasant guy who shared my enthusiasm for B&L. If the food is on the same level as the drinks this place is a 10/10

Sunday Brunch does not disappoint. The Shrimp and Grits are to die for. Doors open, wind blowing, amazing place to have brunch, lunch, or dinner. The service is impeccable, food unique southern roots, wonderful cocktails, and about every whiskey you could want.

If Whiskey Kitchen were a person, it’d be your effortlessly cool friend who listens to vinyl, knows their bourbons better than your dad, and always smells like smoked paprika and good decisions. The smoked mozzarella salad was incredible and of course we raved about the crispy broccoli appetizer.

Went out to the whiskey kitchen the other day with 5 people. The atmosphere is hopping. It's a very cool place. The menu seemed good at. I had a pork chop that was terrific, shrimp and grits. Look a little spicy but all in all. It was a good experience and good food.

I drove down to visit Raleigh for a gaming convention at the center and this place was next to the parking lot I booked. I personally enjoyed the food. The butternut soup with corn and the beet salad were very good. Mixed feelings about the texture of the corn but i didnt hate it, and I expected more beets than salad. Overall best and unique soup I've had and the dressing on the salad was something else (interesting and good). The cocktail was ok. Looked great on paper but wasn't memorable. I got the sprouts the next night. Good, but definitely more for sharing. Good vinegar and pickles but still felt like a heavy dish. Right mix gives you the perfect bite sort of thing. Overall, I would come back. I normally don't see food like this in NJ unless you go looking for it. The options and diversity of (I'm assuming) farm to table or seasonal dishes outside it being a special. Different from the typical bar food of burgers, fries, etc. Apparently (from two reviews) not truly gf because they share fryers. I only mention this because it was Lent when I visited, so I ordered the soup and salad.

Overall: 7.8/10 Excellent food quality at a fairly high price, set in a beautifully clean and spacious venue with professional, friendly service. Atmosphere: 8.4/10 The restaurant offers a vibrant yet relaxing environment with stylish outdoor and indoor seating. The space balances modernity with comfort, making it a great spot for both casual and special outings. Service: 7.2/10 Service is a highlight, with professional and genuinely friendly staff ensuring meals are served promptly and any needs are quickly met, enhancing the overall dining experience. Cheeseburger: 8.7 A standout in Raleigh, this burger features a superbly flavored and perfectly cooked patty. Despite its high price, the fresh vegetables and bun complement the meat well, though the bun doesn't quite match the patty's wow factor. The only available side during brunch, home fries, unfortunately, did not meet the same high standards. Biscuit: 4.3 The biscuit was flaky but disappointingly dry, and the accompanying cream lacked flavor, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the dish.

Food is delicious and I've never had fries stay crispy during my whole meal! Service was excellent and fast

Great drinks, excellent food, and service was on point (Cedric). The outdoor space was great for our family

Whiskey kitchen is a mainstay in my rotation of restaurants I must hit when visiting NC! I am obsessed with their signature cocktails, vibey space, and unique menu. I sometimes find that the uniqueness of said menu can be intimidating but truly everyone I have taken has found something they like. The staff are also super kind and knowledgeable.

Beautiful place with a great atmosphere! Cocktails were great and the whisky list was good. We ordered a bunch of stuff and the stand out was the broccoli! Grain bowl was good too. But there were issues. The Brussels sprouts had an absolutely delicious sauce on them but they were undercooked and still hard in the middle. The cauliflower came out cold, not sure if they just didn't heat it up all the way or if it sat for too long not under a heat lamp. We got a side of pulled pork that was dry. I'd def go back and try again but I'll be more selective to what I order.

We had heard good things about whiskey kitchen from locals and decided to check it out while we were in town. They have a large outdoor seating area and inside they have great seating including bar seating. For entrées we started with the boiled peanuts, which we really enjoyed and thought that the pickled pepper was a nice addition to it. I had the fried chicken sandwich with potato salad. Chicken was nice and crunchy love the soft bun that was on And even loved thebutter pickles. The potato salad was a perfect ball of rustic and traditional, but with a few little surprises. Very much what I was expecting and wanting. My husband opted for the barbecue pulled pork sandwich with the collard greens. The pork had really good flavor to it. He enjoyed the sauce, but could use a little more pork as there was still a good amount of bread when he got down to the end of his sandwich. We were told that Tuesday Thursday and Saturday were the best days to come because the collard greens were made by I believe her name is Miss. Mary. The greens had a sweet and spicy kick to them but we enjoyed them. They have multiple different whiskeys and bourbons on tap. I chose to stick with something. I knew the Jeffersons ocean voyage which came out to be around $17. My husband opted for the Penelope artifact which was around $14. One thing I would encourage others to consider is the prices of the pores are reflective of the fact that all of the liquor is state run. So you see that reflected in many of the prices Because bottles are so scarce

Whiskey Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Raleigh. Whenever I am in town for work, I go as many times as I can and try out multiple items on the menu. This time the winner was the raspberry gazpacho - so delicious! It's a great place to go at the end of a long work day for a cocktail and yummy snacks: laidback, vintage, and chill vibe.

We were in town for Dreamville and wanted to grab lunch before we headed to a day party and Whiskey Kitchen was in walking distance from our hotel. We promptly greeted and seated and our server was at our table swiftly to welcome us and to offer us water as we looked over the menu. We opted for a couple of their Daily Lunch Specials and couldn't pass up trying the cracklin' biscuits since it was something we've never heard of or eaten. My BFF who literally hasn't eaten pork in yeeeaaarrrrssss couldn't pass up trying them when they hit the table because they look absolutely irresistible and the taste ... 10 out of 10! I would come back to Raleigh just for those biscuits! I had the steak sandwich for my entree which was flank steak with chimichurri on a toasted freshly baked roll and a side of collards ... both were AMAZINGLY flavorful and hit the spot on everything you'd want in a sandwich. I also tried some of my friend's potato salad and it was slamming as well! We cannot say one single negative thing about Whiskey Kitchen and recommend it should you be in Downtown Raleigh.

I would come back for the smoked mozzarella salad! It was so good! Each bite was balanced with freshness, tartness from the pickled onion and vinaigrette, and the extra flavor from the smoked mozzarella! Adding chicken was a plus but the salad was definitely enough and filling. The fries are good when they're fresh! A nice crunch and good flavor. It's a nice spot on a nice weather day to sit inside or outside, just be aware that the garage door will be open if you have outdoor allergies. A chill spot for a drink or a nice bite to eat.

The drinks were so creative and done in so many ways, the food the same and quite creative! This was a fun place and as a new resident in Raleigh im finding lots of cool places so yes im recommending this place I know we will be back to try some other thing's. The ambiance was cool how everything opened to the outside if they want depending on the weather and the bar was massive and super cool! Thx guys!

This review is tough because the experience truly dining here versus coming for drinks and a quick bite are two different experiences. I'd say this is more of a 3.5/5 than a 4 but I can do a half star rating so I'll round up. I've been a few times and the star of the show are the drinks. They've really done a great job with their cocktail menu and it keeps me coming back. Their drinks have such a great variety, pack a punch in terms of flavor AND THE POUR! However, the food is hit or miss. On my last visit my partner ordered the Tonkatsu Catfish and I ordered the Pork Chop. The Catfish needed seasoning BAD. It was doused in a sauce meant to be Asian inspired but just tasted like ketchup. After two bites of unseasoned catfish doused in ketchup she sent it back. The pork chop was THICK but was severely undercooked for my preference and again was sent back. The second pork chop was MUCH thinner and cooked through and was delicious. To replace the catfish, my partner ordered their burger and really enjoyed it. I think if you're coming here for dinner you MIGHT be disappointed but if you come here for drinks and maybe snack on their small bites, it would be far more satisfying. That aside the service is impeccable, the location is great and it has a great vibes

We ended up here as a second choice when the first choice had too long of a wait. Thanks to Yelp, I could find a decent spot quickly! We were seated quickly but it took awhile before our server came to greet us and take our order. We almost left! I started with a cocktail, a Poinsettia. It was pretty tasty if you're cool with the flavor of lavender. Both of my sons and I ordered chicken sandwiches without pickles; they had fries and I had collard greens. It didn't take too long for the food to arrive and it was decent. Both sons and I remarked that it was basically a more expensive Chick Fil A sandwich. We all wished they had put a little more sauce on the sandwich. We all enjoyed the sides; the boys said the fries were better than the sandwich. My collards were surprisingly tender. I typically don't like the stalks but these were rendered down so much that they were tender enough for my picky palette. It's such a cute spot that I would give it one more try, maybe during the summer when we could enjoy sitting outside.

Cool Biergarten vibe with an extensive library of whiskeys. Great flight options and unique cocktails.

Food was fantastic and drink selection was great too. Menu was reasonably priced and variety of choices. Went here for business dinner and plan to return next time I and in downtown Raleigh.

Don't let the name fool you! I don't even like whiskey and had a fabulous time. The cocktails were delish and smooth. I ordered the Botanist and my husband ordered Murder She Wrote - YUM! The apps and entrees - so good!! We got the Brussels sprouts (5 stars) and fries to start. I got the grain bowl w/fried chicken...gotta try good fried chicken when you're in the South and my husband got the apricot salad w/fried chicken too. They soak the chicken overnight in sweet tea to tenderize it ... so yummy. Pls don't let the lack of photo's dissuade you...I got just got caught up in the evening.

What an amazing place. Service was very quick and delightful. Food &drinks were perfect and the clean open air was just a beautiful Saturday spot.

I love how you can make a reservation here! Such a great spot to eat at before attending a show at Red Hat. I really enjoyed the Berried Alive drink. The fried chicken sandwich and fries were good. It was super packed but our server did a great job checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. For some reason it was sooooo hot inside and they didn't have the doors rolled up. I almost wish they had because I think it was just as hot inside as outside. Hopefully, it was just a one time AC issue and it doesn't get that way every time it's super busy.

We visited Whiskey Kitchen after dinner for a night cap while visiting the area and were excited to see if it was worth coming back the next day for lunch. We sat and the bar and unfortunately didn't immediately notice the horrible fruit fly investigation they have. I got a cocktail and my fiancé ordered one of the whiskey flights. The drinks and service were amazing and the food on the menu even looked pretty good too, but the bombardment of the flies were so distracting. We even noticed other patrons at the bar covering their drinks with coasters to prevent them from flying into their drinks. We would have stayed for a second round but couldn't bare to sit there any longer with all the flies. Again, the bar staff was wonderful but you could tell they were trying their best not to bring any additional attention to the issue. Such a disappointment as the place is very cute and has wonderful ambiance with a large indoor and outdoor spaces. But they definitely need to get a handle on the fruit fly issue. 5/10 recommend.

So-apparently in Raleigh, you can buy a drink to go. It's called Sip n' Stroll Downtown. Interesting. Of course, we had to partake. I got a dark lager from Burial Beer Co. called Dusk. Nice! My sister got a NEIPA called Feelin' Freaky Deaf from Wise Man Brewing, which she loved! The others got cocktails and we were on our way. Nice way to spend a Sunday morning.

Best Brussel sprouts in the world, dare I say UNIVERSE. Service is top notch. Fried Chicken Sandwich got two thumbs and toes up by the hubby. Cornbread catfish plate was not good. Too thick of breading made the fish slimy and not crispy. Flavors were good but hard pass on that.

Speedy service and good was good mainly attracted to the atmosphere and the open garage door with fresh air! Especially with the great weather this weekend! Would recommend!!

Disappointed with the service to say the least. The food was good though. When we arrived a man with dark hair and short shorts assisted us. We sat quickly. The gentleman with dark hair, short shorts was very rude, and we were confused as to why. Wasn't welcoming at all, this was our very first visit. Then a nice hostess came out to pet our dog, she was very sweet. The gentlemen came out a few times and took our order... then a taller male came out and said "just so you know, I'm your service" in a really rude manner as well. Literally very confused at all these exchanges? The "server" never even came back. I'd rather skip this place with tacky employees. Seems like I'm not the only one with this experience by looking further into the reviews.

This is a great restaurant in downtown that pleasantly surprised me. The restaurant has such a lively atmosphere with a spacious inside as well as a big outdoor seating area making it perfect for any weather but especially summer days. I recommend making reservations because it was pretty busy when we went. Also since the restaurant is downtown, you have to find street parking. The service here was amazing. Good service is super memorable and is always a big reason I return to restaurants. Everyone was friendly, even the manager Riley who was so sweet and checked on us multiple times to make sure we had a great experience. We got the fried brussels with 2 lamb burgers. The fried brussels were a great appetizer and we enjoyed their unique ranch that came with it. I was told the crispy broccoli was another good appetizer choice so I would try that next time. The lamb burgers were cooked perfectly and a very satisfying entree option. I wanted to try the shrimp and grits but was sad they couldn't modify it without any pork. They had a big bar with a big cocktail menu to accompany it and I would definitely come back to try their brunch!

The ambience is exceptionally amazing.. loved it. The drinks were great and food was good. Loved the crispy broccolli. Boiled peanuts was a good addition. We tried most of the appetizers. Other than that the menu had very good additions and I am sure I missed some items to try. Mainly the whiskey flight, I will be back to try others definitely. We tried mostly of the cocktails and they were ok. Toddy was absolutely amazing and it's a must try one. Old fashion was not up to the mark though. They even have a good beer selection. And obviously whisky collection is huge and obviously the prices went up since my first visit. Service was exceptionally good too. Crispy broccoli - 5/5 Hummus - 4/5 Fried cauliflower - 5/5 Boiled peanuts - 5/5 Fries - 4/5 Farm cheese - 5/5

Dear WK lamb burger, i miss you. It's been too long since our last loving embrace. Have you been faithful while I've been gone? No worries. I couldn't expect you to be caged for too long. Fret not, I'll be in the City of Oaks again soon and shall seek your juicy kiss. Until then, think of me often.

This spot is a great choice for a medium sized group. Their menu has a southern flair while remaining light and high end in its presentation. Not only that but it totes a lot of noteworthy appetizers and sides that are enticing for any vegetarian that may be tucked inside your group. The cocktails are creative yet straightforward and very well balanced. I had two from the seasonal menu and a paper plane per suggestion of the bartender and it was the best one I've ever had. Come by, grab a seat at the bar, gawk at the many bottles of whiskey, and enjoy your eats.

First time here, it's a cool open concept inside with a Whiskey Wall, tons of whiskey to try and whiskey flights if you so chose. The design and layout is modern/industrial. Service was decent, nothing exceptional nor lousy. Let's get to the food, I ordered the friend chicken sandwich with collard greens, it was a really good sandwich and the collard green has a spicy kick to them. The size of the bowl of collard greens could have been bigger. Ok onto the salad... we also ordered the Spiced Honeycrisp Salad. Now for $13 you got lettuce with virtually no toppings and zero flavor. If you wanted protein, you're paying $7 more on top of the $13. The salad was a rip off and not good. Gotta step up the salad game for the price. Had to go somewhere else after this to fill up. You get a more satisfying salad from Farmside. The Copper & Thief wine was excellent.

I loved this place so much on the first day so I came back the next day and was not as impressed. The first day, I got a lamb burger with smoked fontina cheese, tomato, aioli, basil, mint, a brioche bun and a side of fries. The burger was perfect! The lamb was extremely well seasoned, juicy, and tender. Each bite had a lot of juice and it was complemented by the fresh veggies and herb. The bun was buttery and light which didn't take away from he burger. The next day, I came back for a smoked mozzarella salad and it was the saddest thing. The tomato's were pretty much frozen and half defrosted, the croutons were so soggy that I didn't;t not each them and there was hardly any vinaigrette which made the whole thing just tasteless. It looked like something was just thrown together with whatever's left and I'm not even being mean about that! I have very mixed reviews since I did really enjoy my first meal but the salad ruined it for me.

Stopped in for quick dinner with a friend. The atmosphere was nice and the place was huge to accommodate any size party. Waitress acted like she didn't want to be at work and was rude most of the time. Service was slow. Food was good and drinks were good. Old fashioned cocktail was 7/10. Pork chop was 7/10 as well.

Went here last week before our concert. About 5-ish and the place was not very busy, but had a party of 50 coming at 6. Let me say up front, that I'm not a whiskey drinker, but I ordered a "flight" of Japanese whiskey for my husband and I to sample. This really is a bar first and foremost which also serves food. There were a couple of tables next to us that ordered the hummus plate and the farmer's cheese appetizer. They looked pretty good. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and I ordered the catfish which came with a tasty slightly spicy Japanese sauce over coleslaw. It was the biggest and thickest catfish I had ever seen which I doubt was really catfish. All the food tasted very good including the desserts, the pot de crème and the shoofly pie. I would order the shoofly pie again, but not the pot de crème. The restaurant was beautiful and spacious. The whiskey flight was OK. The last one had debris in it and they replaced it. The worst part was our waitress. She was not attentive at all and made a point to look away from us when she passed our table. She also said they had coke products which would be not typical of restaurants in the Carolinas, so I ordered a Coke but it tasted like Pepsi. She replaced it with tea for me, but I thought I would have to whistle at her to get a refill. I would try this restaurant again maybe? I give props to the staff because the kitchen wreaks of cooked collards. I would not be able to work there.

*This place is worth your time and effort.* Whiskey Kitchen caught my eye, stopped in and was pleasantly "not" surprised that it was a great spot. The weather was great and the bay-door was open. Outdoor seating, Back wall lined with Whiskeys, and great bartenders. I had the Cracklin' Biscuit w/ smoked cream cheese and a Whiskey Flight. Biscuits were flaky butter, with a hint of sweetness. The cracklins added some texture, and gave it that extra flavor. The smoked cream cheese certainly adds to the savory biscuit-cracklin bite. Next on the list here is going to be the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the BBQ platter. **Flight Attendant approved**

Meh... went here with a friend for a drink and a light lunch when we were in town for a conference. My friend and I both ordered an alcoholic drink and split a chicken sandwich with fries. Our waiter was a male that seemed like he thought he was too good to wait on us. I asked for ranch on the side and he rolled his eyes and told me they don't have ranch there. I then asked for honey mustard and they did have that, but it took him forever to bring it to me. The food wasn't anything special either.

can't even lie about this, we wanted to check another place out and they had a three hour wait so we opted to go for a walk and see what we find we stumbled across whiskey kitchen and man was i pleasantly surprised to start off, the place has ample seating both inside and out we didn't have to wait to be seated or wait too long for food to arrive although they were busy the food was pretty solid.....we had a little bit of everything from appetizers to salads and entrees the biscuits with cracklins were by far the star of the evening....the biscuits were fluffy and buttery with a slight sweetness to them which was offset by the saltiness of the cracklin dust and the amazing smokiness of the compound butter it was served with they also make their own cheeses and cure their own meats so the chef's special charcuterie board was also a star! now to the low points our server was pretty terrible she didn't really seem interested in working and wasn't paying attention to the details like when we needed refills or the timing of the food also, we ordered a fried chicken sandwich and to say it was dry was an understatement all that being said, i'd definitely come back to this place to have the charcuterie board, salads and some drinks

We came here for brunch. I had the lamb burger, which was outstanding. Husband had the shakshouka and he really enjoyed it. We also had the monkey bread, which is really like a dessert :)

I really enjoyed Whiskey Kitchen. The space itself is wide open and inviting which isn't typical of Whiskey themed places. I always associate them with dark woods and no windows but that isn't the case here. It is big, modern, and bright. The food was excellent and I highly recommend the brussel sprouts and lamb burger. If you're here for the libations you can't go wrong. There is a 43 page whiskey menu but they also serve non-whiskey cocktails and beer and wine as well. If you're not sure how to tackle that big menu there are numerous flights for your sampling. Prices were fair and some of the rare pours were even value priced. I'd definitely be back when in Raleigh.

This place is one of a kind! if you're a whiskey lover who loves to try exclusive whiskey with an experience, this is your new home. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and he loved it. The food is delicious and the flavors are so fresh. Everything we had we made to perfection. I appreciate chefs that take pride in their cooking and you can 100% taste the care and can see the attention to details. Ambience is calm and relaxing. Service was great as well!

Seated. Waited for 15 minutes. Multiple servers walked right by us. Not one person stopped to either wait on us or tell us a server was on their way. Finally just got up and left.

Stopped here last night after dinner at Death & Taxes. Wanted a cocktail to finish our "Date Night" (yes, after 27+ years we still do Date Night!) and were pleased to find a good couple bar seats. I went with a Heaven's Door on a large rock and The Mrs chose a Classic Manhattan. The coup do grace was a slice of their Shoo-Fly Pie! More Pecan Pie than plain Shoo Fly but when drizzled with caramel it was Astounding! I always compare Shoo Fly and Pecan Pies with those my Grandma's made. One from the North where molasses rule and one from the Deep South and home of the Pecan. Pie was great! Stop soon while Still on the menu!

Smoked pork chop was to die for, and the wait staff was really helpful and attentive--even with a Friday-night crowd. LOVED the outdoor seating vibe. Drinks list and food pairings will delight.

I was in town for work in Raleigh and grabbed a lunch at the Whisky Kitchen. This place so so cute. I loved the tile, menus, and lighting fixtures. I sat at the bar- as usual and did some work on my laptop, the service was awesome. I had a Passionfruit Whiskey drink that was super tasty and I got the Farm Cheese. I loved it. It had a perfectly poached egg on it with some yummy oil and seasoning.. Then I got the chicken Sandwich with a salad. The salad was kinda boring but fun. The lettuce did taste really fresh. But the Chicken sandwich really stole the show. It was crispy and the bun and fixings were on point. I'd come back here again for sure.. Dinner, Brunch, a drink, you name it. It's a really wonderful restaurant.

Great atmosphere and good food. In the heart of downtown and a wide selection of drinks

first thing you'll notice is the ambience. The ambience is cool retro open industrial space. Always met with a smile, the help is always so friendly. This is the best place to come for brunch in downtown. Husband loves the mozzarella ball salad. It's absolutely phenomenal and I always love the chicken biscuit bowl. Best seat in the house is sitting at the bar talking to Johnny. Highly recommend this place. excellent outside seating for any weather :-)

My husband and I had a reservation that we were late to, but luckily they still seated us quickly. They brought water pretty soon after, and then we ordered drinks. I got the weekend at Bernie's, which was good, and my husband got a whiskey flight he liked. We then ordered the cracklin' biscuits as an appetizer. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and my husband ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. It took forever to get our appetizer. Groups that came after us were getting food before us. The biscuits were really good but quite small. Then we waited probably 30 minutes for our main courses to come. The shrimp and grits were fine, but I didn't love the sauce. My husband liked his sandwich and fries. The food was alright and drinks were good, but the service was so slow and not great. We were there for almost 2 hours, which is ridiculous for 2 people. I'm not sure if we will be back, but if we do maybe just drinks and appetizers.

HUGE selection of drinks and alcohol choices, and had one of the best cocktails , The Botanist. Highly recommended!

I have to start by saying I don't love biscuits. I'm a southern girl and believe most restaurants can't replicate a good biscuit.... BUT these biscuits OMG ... I wanted to order a few plates... do yourself a favor and get them!! Second the BLT was ok. I think the bread was too toasted and dry, which made for a very messy sandwich. The home-fries (this was brunch) were pretty much French fries and onions, but they were great. The drinks were also great and I loved our server! Overall great location the indoor picnic style tables were cute and the outdoor area looked great!

Great place, great food, & great people. This place is sneaky good. I'm not from the area, and came across this place. Hands down it's gotta be the best food I've had out here! There's so many drinks to pick from, whether it's a date night, special occasion, or just hanging with friends, this place is a must if you've never been! 10 out of 10, I'll be back again!!!

The atmosphere was great along with the food. Parking was a little challenging but once in the restaurant it was almost worth the challenge of trying to park which is as far as I could see in front of the restaurant on both sides of the street. Our waiter was very helpful with his recommendations from off the menu. We will definitely be going back.

We came here to grab drinks and snacks. This place was big and spacious. We got seated and the bar and served right away. We ordered Brussels sprouts, fries and melon gazpacho for 2 of us. Gazpacho was very yummy and refreshing but at the same time not very lemony. Perfect hot a hot summer afternoon! The position of these appetizers seemed pretty decent, we were full and satisfied with what we ordered

Whiskey kitchen is a cool set up. We went there for my birthday dinner and started with the Brussel sprouts which were amazing 10/10 must order (not pictured). I got the Cornish Hen which was delicious but the white meat portion was a little dry. My boyfriend got the NC pork chop and loved it (it's more expensive but a huge portion). My mom and dad got the BBQ platter and the smoked mozz salad and said they were good but not earth shattering - the chicken on the salad was a little dry. They have a good selection of drinks so you don't have to be a whiskey lover to try this place out. The wait staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They brought out a lemoncello cake on the house for the birthday celebration and it was warm & delicious. I would recommend making a reservation for this place especially on the weekends.

I LOVED the inside dining area and cool vibe of the bar area and wallpaper behind it. Swanky vibes. The salads my friend & I got were pretty tasty, add the fried chicken to it! Trust me on that. This place didn't get a perfect score because the drinks & service ruined it for me. I told our server exactly was I was looking for in a bourbon cocktail and what to tell the bartender, and he made me feel like a bother. After our food was dropped off our server was inattentive and slightly rude going forward. My drink was still not good, but I guess that didn't matter. It's a bummer when the service drags the experience down.
