    Big Whisky
    Heather B.

    First time doing brunch here. Very clean and and everyone was friendly. Wasn't very busy, but took over 20 minutes to get our drinks. The boozy coffee was good, and the mimosa tasted like straight prosecco. It was supposed to be cranberry, but didn't taste any cranberry. Breakfast was served quickly, we had chicken and waffles and the French toast. The chicken was dry but the french toast did taste good. Overall, I would go back, but only for lunch or dinner, not their brunch. I have the app and nobody could figure out how to add my points to my account, so lost out on that.

    Big Whiskey's is one of the few restaurants open late on a Tuesday night. I finished my shopping and realized I was starving. The outside and parking lot are well maintained and very clean. They have a large outdoor seating area but I went inside. I was seated after a very short wait and my server, Jimmy J., was over very quickly. It was happy hour and he offered $6 apps but I passed as it was just me. He was very friendly. I ordered the Cajun Coastal Combo which was Cajun seasoned grilled chicken and shrimp topped with lemon butter sauce, tomatoes, green onions, and shredded red cabbage. My sides were loaded potato salad and colada slaw. The Cajun Coastal Combowas delicious. There was a perfect char on it and it was just the right amount of spicy. The colada slaw should come with a spiciness warning. There's no description and I assumed it would be a sweet pineapple coconut slaw. The sweetness was there and it was great but it set my mouth on fire. Do NOT order this thinking it will cool you down. The loaded potato salad was creamy and delicious, too. I ended things with the Big Brownie Skillet. It was just okay. I was expecting a gooey brownie and it was on the dry side but still good. Overall 9/10. I'll definitely be back. The service was great.

    The bourbon burger!!! Very good!!

    Came in for a men's fellowship and I must say I was very impressed with everything. If you need a space during the week, they have a really nice room that sits at least 30 people for a private event. Our server took care of all of us and the food came out hot and fresh. My buries very good and full of flavor. We will definitely be back and make sure you stop by.

    Overall the taste of the food is great...BUT 3 items we ordered were not acceptable. We ordered two soups Togo (each are about $6.50) and received two very small half-filled containers of soup. Very disappointed about this considering the price compared to the size. My grouper tacos also had maybe two nugget sized pieces of fish. I've gotten them dine in and it's usually a nice sized pieces, but I guess Togo customers are not valued the same as dine in customers. We also waited an extra 15 min after our scheduled pick up time for our Togo food. I usually love big whiskeys when I dine in but I don't think I'll be ordering Togo food from here :/

    We went for an earlish dinner since I knew this location has been open only a few weeks, though it was already filling up. We were fortunate enough to get a close parking space, and we were seated immediately in a quiet corner. The Happy Hour drink specials aren't clearly listed, but our server was great. Though the happy hour appetizers sounded tempting, we went straight for dinner. We got the Bourbon Street Burger and the Bacon Cheddar Burger. Mine was the Bourbon Cheddar Burger. I don't order burgers out much anymore, but this was pretty good; I also opted to get the Sweet Potato fries. Perhaps not the most generous portion around, but they were good. We did ask for a to-go cup (for the nonalcoholic drink), and they were happy to oblige, but they haven't gotten in their signature plastic cups yet. Service was good; specific prep changes were made, and any hiccups were quickly corrected quickly and apologetically. It was easy to pay at the table. Glad to have another Big Whiskey's closer to us.

    The food here was great. My husband devoured his Philly cheese sandwich. Took half of mine home! The GM was amazing came over and did and excellent job of up selling! The bartender need more training in bar etiquette but that is an easy fix! The over all vibe was chill but the bar area was very loud. We definitely will go back!!

    We came here excited to try it out since we like the hoover location. We waited for an hour for the worst ahi tuna I've ever had and the driest burger I've ever seen. The burger was so burnt we thought the cheese was a fried egg. They were out of mashed potatoes, buns and basically everything else. Beyond disappointing and we will not be back. The manager even came and asked how we were and basically laughed that we had been waiting and said the ahi tuna looked disgusting (not wrong).

    This Big Whiskey location just recently opened up and I will say that the staff there is very attentive and nice. Even servers that weren't "assigned" to you, made sure that you were taken care of. The wait wasn't very long for a Wednesday night and the server came immediately over. The food was very tasty as we had steak and a chicken sandwich at our table. Steak was cooked and seasoned perfect and the buffalo chicken sandwich had just the right kick to it. The ambience doesn't give off a whiskey establishment (minus the barrels right at the entrance) but is nice and clean. The bar is cool with all the whiskeys backlit. I would highly recommend any whiskey drinker to go as they will have what you are looking for.

The first time we waited around 15 minutes at a table before anyone acknowledged us, and the second time was basically the same experience sitting at the bar. Friendly service definitely wasn't the strong point here either. That said, the food honestly saved this review from being much lower. The wings had a fantastic sauce with great flavor, the fried pickles were crispy and addictive, and the fried green tomatoes were genuinely delicious with a really solid batter. Even the beers were ice cold and crisp, which fit the vibe perfectly. The biggest issue is that the pricing feels a little high for the overall experience and environment. If you're charging those kinds of prices, the cleanliness and service really need to match it better. If you're coming strictly for fried bar food and cold beer, you'll probably enjoy it. Just don't expect attentive service or a polished atmosphere.

The cook's name is Joseph and he knows how to season. My only complaint was that it's a bar at night so still smoke filled during the day. I noticed a LOT of outgoing orders. My husband couldn't smell the smoke until we got into the car together, but I have asthma, and I could. He had meatloaf with black-eyed peas and collards. No seasoning needed! And it was $7 and change-we will go back. This is my second visit. It won't be the last.

The staff was friendly and patient as I forgot my readers so a lot of questions were asked. Thank you Andreana. We had the tenderloin (which I haven't had in YEARS). I was not disappointed. We also had the southerner and it was tasty. They had a happy hour where I got a wine and husband got a frozen drink. Then round 2 I opted for the daily drink, daiquiri. Each day there is a different drink as a special. I enjoyed the music and the vibe. Would come back to this place when I'm in Birmingham again.

    I have been here for lunch a couple of times now for The Work Week Lunch Deal - Standard Burger (or…read more6 wings), Side , Soda/Tea for $13.49. A really good deal! Seated immediately and ready to take your order as soon as you decide. The Standard Burger (Lettuce. tomato, onion, pickles, horsey sauce & american cheese) is really good. Fries are cooked just right. Previously I got a mix of the Fries and Onion Rings. Onion Rings are great too! I have had The Three Hander sandwich (Niman ranch corned beef, fries, tomato, jalapenos, creamy slaw, dijonaise, mozzarella on sourdough) from their original location which is great too. I should probably try other things as well but the lunch deal is hard to pass up. Since it is not too far from my office, will definitely continue to be a part of my regular lunch rotation. Only downside for me is the parking. There are limited spots on the street out front. Adjacent to the building there is a lot that is part of the apartment complex behind it but not really enough spaces for the 2 restaurants.
