The bourbon burger!!! Very good!!
Frank H.

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.

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.

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.

Horror

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).

Philly cheese steak sandwich

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 ate it all

Dang Big Whiskeys I love ya but I got a bone to pick with you. Your bartender this trip was rude asf. This is why I dropped you down. We talked to the bar manager on soft opening he said He would give us the tops off the Blantons . No problem. They are collectible and he says they just throw them away the horror!!! Fast forward to today 10/24/25 at 11:45 my husband got a double shot of Blantons . There wasnt enough in the bottle so she had to open a new one. He asked if he could have the stopper. She said sure but I threw it in the trash she then says do you want it? He says yes and she gives him a look and in no way wants to give it to him. Look We fork over close to $300+ most times We visit. Ask Caleigh We give her $100 dollar tips. She practically stole us from another waitress. Because We tip good and We spend a shit ton. But When you have bartender who is rude and will not be accommodating that left a sour taste in my husband's mouth. I took him for our anniversary and straight up it lessened the vibe. Caleigh was good as always! He said he really doesn't want to go b. When someone says one thing then doesnt do it its very off putting. Look We spend. She threw it away and then she lied and said We dont give them away. My husband said the bar manager said all I had to do was ask. She then says I remember you and We were going to put them up for you yet she would not give it to him. Rude !! You throw it away!! He actually asked caleigh before he ordered it . So Big Whiskeys we will spend our money elsewhere. I guarantee no one spends as much as We do . I'm 100% certain of this. I will post a pic of my latest receipt. He wouldn't have ordered a Blantons or alcohol period if He knew that . Why? Because he was told if the bottle was empty he could ask for the stopper no by the bar manager. So you lost us as a customer . Before you We didnt spend money in Alabaster and We will go elsewhere with good service all around. Its all good if the waitress is personable, the food is good but the bartender is part of this if you get drinks . Especially if you were told one thing and the bartenders do not honor what the bar manager says.

I wanted to love this place SO BAD!! There's an attached arcade!!…read moreAnd the staff was SO NICE and friendly and helpful and I loved the industrial, creative decor. But we'd spent the day at McWane Center and we were starving so we were there to EAT! The food looked gorgeous but it tasted very meh. The onion rings had too much breading on them, which I didn't think was possible, but here we are. The part of the breading next to the onion was mushy so that threw off the texture of the whole thing too. The burger was very much like a Whataburger. Even the lettuce smelled the same. I got The Standard and the bun of the burger was a little mushy (similar to Whataburger) and there was not much meat. For an $11 burger, I'm expecting more than a Whataburger. My middle kid likes everything on her burger and isn't picky at all and the loaded kid burger looked impressive but it was about the same as mine. Not awful, but not very good either. Very close to the same amount of meat. She's the queen of the Clean Plate Club and she only ate half. The fries were good but a somewhat too salty, the dip that came with the onion rings was excellent and we ended up using it for the fries. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and our meal was $63 before tip for 5 waters, 2 adult burgers, 2 kid burgers, a kid grilled cheese, and a basket of fries and onion rings (I thought I was ordering a "side" of fries, not realizing I actually ordered a basket and it was a lot of fries and onion rings). We don't mind spending money on good food, but the prices here don't align with what you get. No one was more disappointed than me, I've been wanting to eat here for FOREVER!!!

We sat at the bar. Nice selection of beers. We had the three hander and my wife had a gourmet hot…read moredog called West Virginia. The food was perfectly prepared and surprised us how good.

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.
