The Whiskey Kitchen in Augusta ME checks all my boxes! I work down the street from here so my team…read morechose it for our office Holiday Party. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We were seated promptly and our drink orders went right in while we looked at the menu. I had never been here before, we asked what the server recommends. She was spot on. We started with a round of pulled pork nachos for the table. I went with shrimp tacos (aioli on the side as I was worried about spice level). Others at the table had the Reuben, chicken tacos, and house chili. Our drinks came out fast, the food was not far behind, our eyes were met with generous portions nicely garnished. The pulled pork nachos were exactly what we expected southerwestern-y cumin-y deliciousness assisted by sour cream, and fresh salsa goodness everything was perfectly seasoned. My shrimp tacos came with lime, avocado, and purple cabbage with spicy aioli on the side. The meaty shrimp with the crisp cabbage were all mellowed together by the creamy avocado. I would eat them for days. Everyone in my party cleaned their plates! The atmosphere is country-chic. There is a saloon decor vibe but it's also hipster steam punk meets old west. The main dining area is clean, spacious and was decorated for the holiday. By the time we left the dining room was a little over half capacity with folks peppered around the bar. It wasn't too noisy, there is country music in the background, but it was fine for conversation. The overall vibe is fun, light, and hospitable, plus there was a pinch of yule-time joy in the air. There is a front and rear entrance, parking is on the street. Around the back of downtown are assorted free parking lots there is also a free parking garage nearby as well, so parking is not a problem. Downtown Augusta is always dolled up this time of year with twinkling lights, snowmen, and such. I recommend The Whiskey Kitchen. Whether you need a space for a working lunch - there is Wi-Fi- looking for a special gathering for an occasion make The Whiskey Kitchen your destination!

I visited because my young adult son said he really enjoyed the food. The setup kind of reminds me…read moreof a chipotle. Burritos are made to order. I ordered a burrito bowl with sweet potatoes as my base and included black beans, salsa, cheese and sour cream. There's a lot of other ingredients available such as rice. Lettuce jalapeños, etc. Overall it was ok and I would return. My only gripe was that the salsa tasted like Tostitos and I'd prefer more of a pico de gallo at a place like this. The place was clean and we had A++ service.

The flavor was wonderful, each component was well executed. Do visit!

Dinner was great- had the calamari appetizer, and stuffed baked haddock. While not the best I've ever had, it was pretty good. Mashed potatoes could have been more mashed - ran into some large hard chunks. Our waitress pleasant, but interrupted our conversation several times. Some social training seems to be in order. Additionally, she disappeared for over 15 minutes, leaving our drinks sitting on the bar. I fetched them for our table and she never even seemed to notice. Although the food tasted good, we will never be back, as both my husband and I suffered diarrhea from it... wasn't going to mention this but honestly people should know. I've never had to report this about a restaurant in any of my reviews.

You can't go wrong if you choose a hamburger or their fish & chips everything was so good and fresh. Was here with a large group and got there within the cutoff of placing orders and everyone was so happy to seat us and ready to serve everyone. This was also the day before New Year's Eve. Highly recommend this establishment. So if in the area definitely give it a try.

I will definitely have it on my list to re visit when I come back!

Usually it's pretty decent food here with some options for vegans…read more We usually get the veggie fajitas and/or the spicy avocado bowl (without the sauce) which is normally a very generous bowl with greens, veggies and quinoa but the last time they barely had a tablespoon of quinoa in it so we had to request it and then we were only brought one small serving despite two of us ordering it and both mentioning we didn't get any quinoa (btw, the quinoa is what makes the entire bowl so without it, it is just a salad and not even half as filling or delicious) so it was a bit of a long process to make the dish ready to enjoy. The servers are usually great. Coincidently the last one we had with the quinoa mishap had very little to no personality shining through and did not crack a smile the entire time so that was a little off putting but we still enjoyed our time there with some family. It's extremely difficult to hear anyone when the music is playing as it's honestly not set at a reasonable level and we avoid coming in the evenings as we like to sit in the bar area where it gets hella loud. Overall an ok place to grab a bite. It feels sticky and a little less than ideal clean a lot of the time so I wouldn't say it's anything to highly recommend but it'll do when you gotta have Mexican food and you're in the area.

Yes. I read the name of the bowl! Haven, on our first visit was perfectly friendly, helpful and there when we needed her without being intrusive. The bartenders, Patrick and Gabby, were amazing when we sat at the bar (several times!). They were very friendly and upbeat. It was a pleasure to watch them work. On my third visit, I made a mistake when ordering and my dish came out with the chipotle sauce I thought I had asked not to be added. Again, I am the one who made the mistake. Eva was very kind and took care of it immediately. She wrapped up the meal and my friend was able to take it with her. I have been in the foodservice business for 30+ years and I know good quality food and service when I see it. It is obvious that the staff here are enjoying themselves when they work. Kudos to management for that!!
