  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
We're serving up tasty farm-to-kitchen dishes & cocktails out of our 'from scratch only' kitchen and bar. Microwave? Never heard of it. We use slow-cooking methods on our live wood grill, smoker and spit because everything tastes better that way. And all this goodness is served to you as you kick your feet up in one of our rocking chairs, dine at a fancy table or relax out on the porch.

    I’ve been to other Whiskey Cakes in the past and this was probably my least favorite time. The food was great and the restaurant was nice but the service wasn’t up to standard. I felt like I was waiting to be acknowledged. My family went for a birthday and normally they do a bit more than just a Happy Birthday at the door. Will go back because I love the food, but was definitely expecting more.

    Good place for groups as they split checks easily. Good service. Menu has limited healthy choices. Salmon was good. The beet salad had a garlic dressing that was so garlic heavy that I was unable to eat it

    Excellent service. They had our table ready early and sat us quickly. The food and drinks were outstanding. Our waitress, Shelby, took amazing care of us. She even took time to know what we were celebrating and wrote a note on the dessert to make it special. Highly recommend for any date night or event.

    We asked to be seated in Bailey’s section and were. Service was great as usual, bar drinks were well made, entrees were well prepared, the crab puff appetizer was great…we were not a fan of the goat cheese fondue though. Another great experience.

    The appetizer selection and overall menu is wonderful. We had the hummus, wagyu corn dogs, pork belly bites, and deviled eggs…all great. We had mainly burgers and the chicken and waffle…also all very good. We took a chicken melt to go and also ordered whiskey cake…wonderful as well. The happy hour drink and food selections are really good, too. Our waiter was attentive but not overly so. It was a great meal with great service enjoyed with exceptional friends. Thanks WC!
