Within seconds, I received a text that my order had been received, but not confirmed, and to watch for a confirmation text. After 30 minutes, I still had not received a confirmation text, so I messaged asking for an approximate time. The reply stated they were "slammed" and that my order would be ready in about 30 minutes. After another 45 minutes, I still had not received any communication from them, so I decided to walk over to check on my order, hoping that it would be ready. The first thing I noticed was that there were not a lot of customers inside. I informed the server behind the bar that I was there to pick up my order, and she went back to check. When she returned, she told me that there were no pickup orders. I showed her the email with my order number and told her that I never received a confirmation from them. She went back into the kitchen, then came back and said they didn't have my order, but could make it while I waited - about 10 minutes. I reluctantly agreed and waited. When I got my order, I asked for a few extra cups of sauce. The server was put off, as if asked to perform an overwhelming task. Needless to say, I left the establishment with a less-than-favorable taste in my mouth. 24 hours later, I received a text from them that my order was confirmed and would be ready to be picked up. I texted back that this was 24 hours late and to cancel the order. The reply was that their texting service was unavailable, and to call for questions. I then replied to the confirmation email, hoping that would get through to them. No such luck. The reply I received said that delivery had failed - that their email box was full. I will say that the food was good, and that the server was mainly friendly. However, the whole online ordering system needs some serious revamping. I hope that Whiskey River will take this review as constructive criticism so that future customers will have an easier, smoother online ordering experience.

The karaoke jockey (KJ) Chance has quit leaving the bar almost empty every night. The day time bartender (Star) is always finding an area that is not seen on camera and getting high from her THC vape and not being respectful to the customers. She has openly disrespected the other bartenders around the patrons and openly harassed patrons she doesn't personally like. Night bartender (Malinda) spends more time with personal friends than she does behind the bar. When she is behind the bar she has a curt attitude towards the customers thinking she's being funny, but instead is being rude and disrespectful. There are 2 new bartenders that do a pretty good job but they don't get the chance to shine because they are put on the back burner. After going to this bar for quite a while I feel that the atmosphere here has changed erratically in the negative direction. The patrons are great but it's the two aforementioned bartenders that have drug the bar into disarray.

By 10:05 with no food, I sent my husband to ask about them. They said they'll go check on it, saying it's probably done but they don't have any food runners. I thought "great so it's been sitting for 15 minutes" anyway this guy comes back and gives us two boxes - wings and a salad? This ain't what we ordered. We got the egg rolls. A few minutes after that, a manager looking woman comes up with a closed box of our food. I open it up, excited to try them. They're soggy, they're cold. They'd definitely been sitting for at least 15 minutes. I try them anyways, I open up the side of consommé. Or so I thought.. I eat one whole egg roll with it but something feels wrong the whole time. I realize that I'm 99% sure this is au jus. I look at the menu again, yep they have a French dip sandwich that get served with au jus. Christ! I was supposed to get consommé and sweet chili and I got freaking au jus?? I told my husband we are not paying for this. He talks to the bartender, they take it off the bill. I was very excited to try this item and left disappointed. Update from my husband - the bartender said there were two orders for the egg rolls at the same time. One normal (ours) and one To Go with au jus and apparently the orders got swapped. Even with that happening, the food should've have come out cold and soggy. I hope no one else has an experience like this, maybe we'll give this place a second try another time.

If you want just a plain burger, this is not the place to go. The fries were also super delicious, but you will need to order it as a side. I recommend sharing and trying out a bit of everything. And don't forget to have a shake! They look small but there is always an addition that makes them even bigger. The outdoor patio has a nice view of the little pond as well. If you got an appetite and craving a burger and a shake, check out Sid's!

I was looking for a nice red or amber for a beer tasting tonight, but they only had a red rye and the Amber Jack. Unfortunately, they didn't have tops for the Crowler cans and a full growler would have been too much beer and expense. Onto the food. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Flatbread. The main squeeze ordered the Greek Italian salad with balsamic dressing. The salad was very good and large, all the ingredients were fresh. The flatbread was good, not as spicy as I thought it may be, but I should have asked for pepper flakes. Plenty of toppings on it, the taste was good. The serving tray was cool to the touch. I wish more places would find a way to heat the serving dishes/trays. The food loses it's heat real fast with cold dishes. It was a good lunch, we'll be back to try a wrap and some wings and also pick up a crowler.

Came time to order food and we got one Cobb salad, brisket quesadilla, smoked huckleberry burger, and a plain burger with bacon. Cobb salad was big and tasty so I was told. Brisket quesadilla was good and tasty, no complaints what I was told. Huckle berry burger was different, it had a sweeter fresh taste to it. I'm always trying something new but if I could order again I would have got the hells canyon burger a more dirtier of a burger. Burger was a little dry but I use every sauce I can so didn't bother me too much. Regular burger came out with no bacon so he waited until bacon came out. Took a bite and there was curb sauce in it that he had not wanted in it. Asked for a new burger but by the time he got it everyone was done and thrill was gone. Got his bill and was charged for every item including the kitchens mistake. I want to say the younger server gal didn't want to take any heat for it since it wasn't her fault but didn't want to make her team look bad or the manager mad so she charged for everything without a discount. That was a rough one to be okay with. Twin Peaks on Spectrum St. was late with one of our meals by 8 minutes and took the meal off our check. I think the server girl here could be given more authority or at least have direction on what to do in situations like this but it is what it is now.
