Specials for the day
Todd R.

You walk in music is playing, there's a few TVs over the bar. Everyone was a little confused as there was a rush. There is enough seating to me comfortable. There are specials like a bacon wrapped corn dog. I also ordered fried pickles. Hope they are good . So the fried pickles came, I don't know if I would buy them again they're OK but you only get five pieces for $10. I always look at how good service is. That and food make you come back. Every staff member checks on you here. They all help each other. Usually I get a waiter or waitress that will say since I'm not their customer they will get my waiter, not here. Good service !

Corn bread balls with honey (we ate most of them)

Cute restaurant. A little pricey but the food was good. The service was friendly and reasonably paced.

Wedge salad with crispy chicken
Bryan W.

Not for locals, but a good spot overall. You know your are in a tourist zone when the first question is where are you from. The staff was very friendly though and we really enjoyed the visit. We order the queso Blanco with pork rinds. It was okay queso, but not up to the standard of what we are used to. Perfect for tourists who can't stand any spice. The Wedge salad was pretty basic. Not many toppings, but the chicken we added was fresh and juicy. Overall we won't be back unless we just wanted some beers and maybe some wings. We saw those ordered and they looked delicious.

Peach Burger with fries
Lia B.

Stopped in after our visit to the 6th Floor Museum. The place was nearly empty, so we got undivided attention from our server. Food arrived quickly and nicely prepared. Peach burger had an ample amount of blue cheese. The Fritos on the chili burger added a satisfying crunch. Fish tacos were very spicy. Highly recommend the saloon's signature drink- a lovely mix of apple brandy lemon juice and grenadine. The atmosphere was welcoming, but very "quiet" in the late afternoon.

Peach Habenero Burger and tots
Brandon D.

Wanted to get away from the overpriced downtown Dallas meals. Found Jack Ruby's and I'm glad I did. The building is amazing with live music on the weekends. Friendly wait staff and super quick service. The menu has great options and everyone left with a full belly!

A great little place to visit next to the sixth floor museum. Food was typical bar food but tasty. The service was fine.

I had a chili dog Texas style! It was delicious! We came for lunch and enjoyed it! We walked here from the JFK museum at the depository.

great food . The Hummel Bros. hot dog is the best in DFW. The bologna sandwich is a better version of the ones my Aunt use to make.

Came here after dinner while visiting Dallas area for drinks…read more There is a gentleman at the door that will find seats for you based upon your party size. There is bar seating and seating along the walls of the venue with cushioned benches, back support using the wall and a small table . The drink menu is available via a QR code and a waitress will take your order. There is no standing allowed in the isle. They also have a nice back room that seats 10 for private gatherings . Has a TV curtains for privacy. There are only two unisex restrooms in the facility. Now for the drinks : my wife and her friend had a Dallas 75 (Makers 101, Champagne, blood orange, lemon, and honey) which they enjoyed. I had whiskey neat (Woodford Double Oak) 2.5 ounce pour. I also had a Elijah Craig Old Fashioned ( bourbon forward) just the way I like it. The drinks were potent and tasty (excellent mixology). The vibe is everything I could ask for in regard to Music. Very chill rhythm . Service was great and inviting. I would definitely be back.

I've visited Whiskeys twice now, and I can say that this is such a great gem in the Dallas area…read more While whiskey is not my drink of choice, I'm happy to explore outside of my comfort zone at this bar. I have not had a bad drink here, and I doubt I ever will. Seating is limited, but I usually come with 1 person so I've been able to easily snag a seat. During peak hours, don't be surprised if there is a line. This is a great date night spot or a place to catch up with a friend. The music is loud, but the playlist is always good so I'm not complaining. If you're looking for a grown and sexy bar in Dallas, then look no further.

Stop reading this and go to Whiskey Cake... Now! So, you want to know a little bit more? Ok here…read moregoes... We are new to the Dallas area and this is the first restaurant we tried and we enjoyed it so much we've been back twice already! The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable and by enjoyable I mean the staff is friendly and something I really like is the sound level. Yes there is music and you can hear people enjoying themselves but it doesn't have that manufactured loud sound level that some spots have. The bar is beautiful with a back bar of bottles going all the way up to the ceiling and its not just for show I saw bartenders going up on the ladder to grab bottles. The drinks themselves are 5-Stars in both quality & presentation and yes you can feel them :) I had the Guava Gimlet every time because I enjoyed it so much. My Son had The Great Rum Punch and a Raspberry Bourbon Mule which he enjoyed equally. This is truly a craft cocktail bar! But this is not just a bar, the food is also 5-Stars starting with the Deviled Eggs. One of my favorite things and I think these are the best I've ever had!! We love them so much we get them every time:) My only complaint is that they give you 5 which means we have to split one between us LOL Entrees are OMG Over multiple visits we each had the Prime Rib & Gouda Stack WOW just so much flavor from the plentiful prime rib slices, gouda cheese and all the fresh toppings on the sourdough bread... So Yum!! Hers a tip as you eat it let the dripping fall onto your fries ;) I also had French Onion Burger which was just as good and He had the Fish 'N' Chips, one of his favorites, that was enormous and one of the best he's had. I couldn't write this review without telling you about the dessert that gave this place it's name. A sticky toffee cake with bourbon glaze, pecans & fresh whip cream plus vanilla ice cream. This is just one of the best desserts I've ever had. I can't tell you how good this is! Make sure and save room and be sure to get the ice cream :) There are basically three spaces inside with both tables and high top bar tables in addition to a patio. There is plenty of parking in a well lit lot. Once again I want to say that the staff is friendly, attentive and helpful.

The vibes at Whiskey Cake were great. We enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and the hummus for apps. For…read moremy meal, I ordered the salmon which was very good. It was served in a light "chowder" which had incredible flavor. For dessert our group of seven split two whiskey cake desserts which was more than enough. It was so good! Would highly recommend both the dessert, and the restaurant!
