    I was craving the five spice green beans so we took a trip over to have dinner on Friday night. We…read moregot there around 6:30 which was perfect timing because after seven the place got really busy. We choose to sit at the bar as it's open seating. my husband wanted the five spice chicken wings, and we were disappointed to learn that they've been taken off the menu. This is such a huge disappointment because that five spice dry rub was amazing. We ended up talking to the bartender and she said that they could do the lil sum sum (kids menu) wings naked and put the spice on the side. My husband chose to go that route (two order as there are only 3 wings an order) but thankfully, they actually tossed the wings in the spice, which was perfect. But we really do wish that they would bring back the actual full order of the five spice chicken wings as that was his go to when we went there and because that's not on the menu it may decrease the amount of time we go back now because he doesn't really care for a lot of the other menu items. I got the five spice green beans, which is one of my favorite items on the menu. I was surprised to hear that they had taken it off the menu for a while and that they had just brought it back. so glad that they did because that was the whole reason we had traveled out there and had they not been on the menu. There's a good chance we probably would've found somewhere else. I also had the Po Po Lau curry because it is another one of my favorite dishes.

The drink was good with some spices, but instead of a craft ice, they just used regular crushed ice, making the drink a bit watered down. For my food, they sadly no longer had the duck noodles, so I tried the CKT noodles (15 dollars) instead. They mentioned it would have a smokey flavor from the wok preparation, which I enjoyed. However, the noodles were quite chewy. The meats included shrimp, pork sausage, and chicken. The chicken and shrimp were enjoyable, but the sausage could have used a bit of a punch. I was able to get some sambal for heat, but it lacked flavor and it was a bit gritty too. At least there was an ample amount such that I could take some home for the next day. My server was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was the same. I did enjoy the audible music and crowd, making the vibe nice. I would definitely come back if the bring the duck noodles again, and maybe try another drink next time too. Overall: B-

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

You can tell there was fresh fruit in it by the blackberry pieces in the drink. For my entree, I ordered The Royal and this was actually one of the best burgers I've had in my life. It was so juicy and flavorful, everything in the burger worked together. The house fries were crispy and tasty. The service itself was excellent and food and drinks came out quickly. Loved the vibes too. Next time I go will definitely be to catch the live music. I've already recommended this place to friends.

I just had water to drink, but ordered a lobster bisque soup (11 dollars) to feel better. It came very quickly, and it was a bit lukewarm. It was still a nice soup with some nice pieces of shrimp and a creamy bisque with sherry flavor. For the main meal, I enjoyed the shrimp tacos (14 dollars), which looked big and have ample amount of shrimp, picked slaw, pico de gallo, in a siracha aioli sauce. It was filling enough that I ate two, and saved the last one for the next day. The sauce provided the right kick, and the vegetables were fresh enough. There were enough shrimp to enjoy too. For the price paid, it was a nice deal. For dessert, they were served in season 52 shot glass style, so I tried the bruleed cheesecake (4 dollars). There was too much powdered sugar as it could have been fired better, but the cheesecake was still light and enjoyable. The service was quick, but casual. My server was friendly and helpful. He suggested to the 3 dessert shots of 10 dollars deal, but it would have been too much got me. The atmosphere reminds me of an upscale Moe's tavern, because it looked empty and a bit down. There wasn't much of a crowd and it was pretty quiet. Only the soft rock background music provided a little vibe. I paid using Inkind, which was quick an easy. I also had a 10 dollars off deal from Inkind, making my meal only 26 dollars after taxes and tips. Parking was easy since there wasn't many people, even in a Saturday. This restaurant is very close to Fresh Market, so you can get gourmet groceries afterwards. I would this restaurant again and try their bigger plates next time, especially if I get another Inkind deal. Overall: B-

I checked in when I arrived, and was told I could sit anywhere in the bar for faster service. I first sat in the show kitchen area, thinking that was a food bar. However, after not getting acknowledged, I moved to the main bar. My bartender (who goes by the letter H) greeted me and told me the tequila fix (13 dollars) was a good drink. Indeed it was with an ample amount of tequila, watermelon, and lime. It was quite refreshing and sweet. I took the popular pork chop dish (24 dollars), which was a big chop glazed in brown butter. It was pretty tender and flavorful with the glaze, and the romesco sauce made the flavors even better. It did get a bit gamey at the end, but I still enjoyed it. The vegetable was a generous amount of various colored carrots, which were thick and a bit crunchy. It had to be cut with a knife, but it was delicious, that the equestrian in me had a happy whinny. For dessert, the suggested cheesecake (9 dollars) was a winner as it was moist and fluffy, providing a sweet end. I saved some for home to enjoy the next day. My bartender was friendly and helpful. She was pretty busy, but still had a cheerful and engaging attitude. I also love the vibe as it was social and busy. The music kept the rhythm going, and the dining area is quite open and big. Outdoor dining is available as well. Sixty Vines reminds me of Cooper Hawks, but maybe a bit more upscale and lively. The food and drinks are great and the prices are pretty reasonable. It's a great place to hang out with friends and have some food, wine, and other cocktails. Overall: A

The atmosphere was lively and fun...definitely a great spot if you're looking for upbeat brunch energy. We started with the deviled eggs, and those did not disappoint. They were flavorful, well-balanced, and probably the highlight of our meal. For entrées, my husband ordered the brunch burger. The menu didn't list bacon, and even after our server double-checked to confirm it wouldn't come with bacon, the burger still came out topped with it. While mistakes happen, it was frustrating having to wait for the order to be remade while the rest of the table was already eating. I ordered the Fruity Pebbles chicken and waffles for my daughter. It was okay, but definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken itself was coated in cereal and then topped with syrup, which made the whole dish very sweet overall -- just a bit underwhelming for us. On a positive note, the kids' portions were great. The mac and cheese and chicken tenders were both solid and generously portioned. Overall, the food was a bit underwhelming for the price point, but I'd probably give it another try...if only for the Maui Mimosa. That drink alone might bring us back.

Prior to opening, this establishment has turned over a few times leaving us uncertain if this one would last. Well, i'm glad it did! As you walk in, you're almost always greeted by the kind and friendly staff that they have. I believe it's family owned, which is even more of a plus. The vibe in the establishment gives off an Arizona, desert feel. It's always clean and there are always other people inside. They even have outdoor seating. On this particular occasion, we brought our dogs so my husband and I alternative in to place our order. I ordered the bacon burger. And my husband built his own burger. We sat outside with the dogs and the employee brought our food to us. The fries were crispy, and the burger was absolutely delicious. Mouthwatering. They have a soda machine that you can actually refill your fountain sodas on, which encourages my husband and I to share so we can reduce our soda intake overall. The biggest caveat is the price. It definitely is a little more expensive for a burger place, but I understand the variables based on the location. I also am not resistant in paying it because it is good. That good.

    This reads less like a sincere tribute to Native American history and more like a marketing…read moredepartment's fantasy of what Native American history looks like. The opening paragraph is historically simplistic to the point of being misleading. Thousands of years of Indigenous history across two continents are compressed into a cartoon narrative about tribes "taking over" America and earning their place through bravery. Entire civilizations, languages, governments, trade networks, spiritual traditions, agricultural innovations, and cultural achievements are reduced to a generic story about warriors and conquest. The text repeatedly treats hundreds of distinct Indigenous nations as if they were a single culture with a shared identity and experience. The Apaches, Cherokees, Navajos, Cheyennes, and countless others are mentioned almost as decorative references before being blended into one vague idea of "the Indian." Modern scholarship, Indigenous historians, and Native communities themselves have spent decades pushing back against exactly this kind of flattening of Native identity. The deeper problem is that Native Americans appear to function here primarily as a branding tool. Indigenous peoples are introduced, their history is briefly summarized, and then the narrative immediately pivots to selling hamburgers. The text essentially argues that because Native Americans were brave, a burger restaurant can inherit that "warrior spirit" and use it as a brand identity. That connection is so weak that it borders on absurd. The repeated use of terms like "warrior spirit," "warrior cooks," and "bravery" relies on some of the oldest and most overused stereotypes applied to Native Americans. It presents Indigenous peoples primarily as warriors, hunters, and tribal figures rather than as diverse, living communities with rich and evolving cultures. While courage and resilience are certainly part of many Indigenous histories, reducing entire peoples to warrior symbolism is not respect--it is stereotype. What makes this especially concerning is that there appears to be no meaningful connection between the brand and Native communities. Is the business Native-owned? Does it partner with Native organizations? Does it support Indigenous causes? Were Native people consulted in developing the brand? Is there any authentic Indigenous influence on the menu, recipes, sourcing, or business mission? The text offers no indication of any such relationship. Instead, it appears to borrow Indigenous identity, imagery, and symbolism while giving little back to the people whose cultures it claims to celebrate. As a result, the branding can feel less like appreciation and more like appropriation. Native American history becomes a backdrop, an aesthetic, and a source of marketing language rather than something treated with care, accuracy, or depth. The story invokes Indigenous peoples not to educate customers about them, but to create an atmosphere of toughness, adventure, and authenticity around a burger. From a branding perspective, the concept is surprisingly self-defeating. The story spends so much time romanticizing a vague and stereotypical version of Native American history that it never establishes a convincing reason why any of this relates to hamburgers in the first place. The connection feels forced, contrived, and ultimately unbelievable. Rather than strengthening the brand, it raises questions about why Indigenous identity was chosen as the foundation of the business at all. If the goal was to honor Native Americans, the brand should begin with historical accuracy, specificity, genuine relationships, and respect for the diversity of Indigenous cultures. Instead, it presents a romanticized and commercialized version of Native history that exists primarily to make a hamburger sound more exciting. Ultimately, the most difficult question this brand story fails to answer is also the most important one: Why are Native Americans central to the identity of this restaurant? If the answer is simply that concepts like bravery, warriors, and tribal imagery make for compelling marketing, then the brand is not truly celebrating Indigenous cultures--it is using them. That distinction matters, and it is why many readers may find this narrative not only historically questionable, but deeply inappropriate as the foundation of a modern business.
