Visit: 21Aug2026 I definitely want to give a huge shoutout to Colton! This location was extremely busy and packed when I visited, and honestly, that's usually a good sign...when a place stays that busy, clearly something is going right. What really stood out to me, though, was Colton. He went well beyond what I would normally expect from someone working the host/to-go area. He personally made sure my steak was exactly how I wanted it and genuinely seemed concerned about whether I was happy with my order. That type of customer service deserves recognition. He knows how to take care of customers, and in my opinion, he deserves a raise! I do think there is an opportunity for improvement when it comes to management. There was a manager positioned at the front during my visit, and while I obviously don't know her personally or whether she is generally a nice person, her disposition toward customers did not come across as particularly friendly or welcoming. More importantly, I noticed a clear difference in how warmly she interacted with certain customers versus others. When you're in a management position, customers should feel like they're receiving the same level of courtesy and hospitality across the board..you shouldn't pick and choose who gets the friendly version of you. It was especially noticeable because she remained at the front for much of the time, closely overseeing the hosts, so those of us waiting on to-go orders could clearly observe the differences in her interactions with different patrons. If you're going to be that visible and hands-on with your staff, I think it's even more important to model the same customer service you expect from them. Thankfully, Colton did exactly that. Despite how packed and hectic the restaurant was, he remained attentive, personable, and genuinely cared about making sure I left satisfied. Colton was absolutely amazing and was easily the standout of my experience. Management should recognize him because employees who care about customers like that are a huge part of why people come back. read more

Felt like a typical American higher up restaurant if you ask me. Not bad when it came to their food. Like it didn't really special or anything. The pungo pizza had chicken and strawberries in it, but the only thing you can taste wwere the strawberries. Not really much flavor. It was cool to see the jenga tower pickle spears, but again, no flavor or salt. I do have to say the Chicken Rockefeller weren't too bad! Good crispy chicken. Fries ? Kind of tasted like Sysco brand :( Worth going when if youre hungry. Maybe their cocktails are better. read more

2nd visit here, this time we all ordered handheld for lunch. My son liked the whiskey burger and I had the same. Hubby had the fried hot chicken with the sauce on the side. The sauce is actually spicy so definitely considered that's. We had good and fast service for a Friday lunch time so that was good. Solid lunch option. read more

The tuna burger with sweet potato fries were delicious! The tuna burger was nicely seasoned and cooked. The sweet potato fries were perfectly done too, not too crispy and not too soft, yum! I went here because I was in the area for a Yelp event. Someone familiar with the area recommended The Whiskey Kitchen. Apparently they have a cool happy hour. From the outside I was worried I was underdressed so I decided to order dinner to go. But once in there I realized it's fancy but super chill vibes inside. Staff were so so sweet! Parking is easy. Place is huge. I'd go back if I'm in the area . It was an overall yummy dinner and relaxed atmosphere and experience. read more

We freaking love WK. First time was amazing so we went back. It was clean, busy but effectively managed, food was incredible, and service was over the top. I got the jalapeño popper pizza AND THE CRUST WAS SO GOOD!!! My partner is so picky about the way his burger is cooked and has to see pink. When he didn't, he asked for a new one and the server took care of it no questions asked. It was replaced quickly and our server pointed us to the cook, who was throwing up a hand heart behind the grill for us you guys rock so much thank you for everything. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and unfortunately, a few of the shrimp were noticeably undercooked. The waiter took my plate away, explaining that someone wanted to see it. After that, there was a long delay. By that point, I was more than ready to leave. When the waiter finally returned, he simply brought me my check. What bothered me just as much as the undercooked food was how the situation was handled. There was no apology, no manager came to speak with me, no acknowledgment of the concern, and no adjustment was made to my bill. Later after returning home, I experienced diarrhea, which only added to my concern about the undercooked shrimp. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant, but how a restaurant responds when a customer raises a legitimate food-safety concern matters. I expected much better communication, concern, and customer service than what I received. read more

There is a reason why we are regulars here. Sure the vibe, great food, drinks etc but there are times when things get mixed up. Wrong order, food is slightly off or whatever it may be. We had a tiny slip tonight, but the way it was handled, the grace and desire to make it right...made it even more solidified. We really appreciate the hospitality and approach taken, even with something small. Thank you for being great! read more

Whiskey Kitchen has quickly become one of my favorite spots. After my first visit, I've already been back once or twice and grabbed a seat at the bar for dinner -- and it did not disappoint. The service has been consistently good, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. It has that perfect neighborhood vibe where you feel comfortable settling in for a great meal. And I have to say -- the chicken sandwich is probably the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and just the right balance of crispy and juicy. I'll absolutely be ordering it again. This is definitely going to be a neighborhood staple for me moving forward. Highly recommend! read more

I've had dinner here several times and it's been solid every time. The burger is the go to but the grilled chicken maple sandwich is actually better. Something else they really do well is the tuna steak. Either in a sandwich or platter. The bar area is popular and a gift choice to catch a game and a couple drinks. The staff is always great. Going out to dinner isn't cheap and the local food tax is ridiculous but I can tell they are trying to keep it priced reasonably. read more

Last night was the third time I have been to Whisky Kitchen on General Booth Blvd in Virginia Beach. I had the flounder with green beans and Cole slaw. The flounder was saturated in grease, so that's all I tasted. Coating had no flavor. The green beans had no seasonings. The coleslaw had no coleslaw dressing at all, just shredded cabbage. The previous times I have been there I had fish and chips. Blah, greasy. how can I taste the flavor of the food with all that grease. My friend that I was with loved his burger. I won't be going back. Three strikes they're out. For great food, I would recommend Courthouse Cafe in Great Bridge. Wish they had a location in my area. read more

The salmon is always so good. Two martinis with dinner ( during happy hour ) were $30.00. Ask prices before you order

Stopped in with my family for lunch. Nice looking place on the inside with several lunch options. I thought the food was OK. The burger was very bland and overall, everyone just said it was OK. I did get to try funnel cake fries, where were pretty tasty! Would I go back? I'm honestly not sure. read more

Amazing food, great drinks and some real great staff! Worth the drive from Great Bridge.

I like this place. Open, airy, clean, very helpful wait staff. The fish and chips were ok, but it was the star of the show was the steak bites appetizer. I believe next visit I will just order a couple of those and be done. Recommend. read more

We decided to get dinner at WK. We were seated right away which was surprising as the parking lot was packed. I thought, wow, we got lucky. Sat us down near the hostess station. Waited for more than ten minutes and not a single server acknowledged us, even though several servers walked by to other tables. No offer for a drink, and none of the pleasantries that are normal for a nicer scale restaurant. Three different servers walked by us to check on their customers but no one said a word. I kept making eye contact with the hostess that sat us down right away but no reaction from her. Three gentlemen sat down at the booth next to our table and within one minute a server was there to take their drink orders. Their drinks came and I thought for sure someone will come by our table. No luck. We finally got up and left. Our hostess said laughingly "thank you for coming". Very disappointing experience. read more

Food, service, ambiance were all great! Man's Best Friend drink was yummy! We all enjoyed our meals! 3 of us got the Chimichurri steak and it was very good! Tuna burger, chili, Margherita pizza, Citrus Salmon all good! But Steak Frites wasn't the best. Everything else though, perfect! read more

We were in the Oceana area of Virginia Beach recently and we decided to stop by The Whiskey Kitchen, just off General Booth Boulevard. I really like this place. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering, always a good thing. The food is consistently good and they have a lot of offerings on their menu for just about every craving. Admittedly, I'm a burger person and they make a good one here. It's a thick patty cook to your perfect temperature and served piping hot. Whether you like a great burger or something more adventurous like Buffalo Cauliflower(highly recommended) they really do have something for everyone. read more

It was my second time at this restaurant, the first visit we were about 20 people. With a party that big the service was pretty good the food arrived fast the servers were attentive so that was great. The food was pretty good everyone really enjoyed what they had. I agreed to check out a second time with some friends to see how the service would change from a 20 person party to a 3. The server was prompt with the drinks, we offered three different dishes and asked if they could all be split because we were all going to share they did just that the food was really good. The place had a lot natural lighting so if you're looking for dim this is not the place but they do have booth's, I like booths. Overall good experience will be back especially for that Rockefeller chicken sandwich and spicy ranch. read more

The parking is insufficient and is blocked on one end, nearly impossible to turn a pickup truck around if you get stuck. We had to park in the lot next door. Ambiance is nice. The outdoor dining was sufficient and cut the wait time by 30 minutes. The wife had the Chicken Rockefeller and it was good. My Whisky Burger was tasty, but cooked well done when I specifically asked for medium. The street corn side was very good. Our waitress was very pleasant, especially on a busy night. read more

I've always enjoyed dining here. have done on several occasions. I enjoy especially the patio in summer. The salad I had: classic Caesar was perfect. The food servers have always been very nice and not too pushy. once my steak came out lukewarm so I sent it back. chef came out to apologize and sent an entire new steak properly prepared, and comped half the meal. there were two f us with drinks si we're not a chesp datw. now that's a Chef who knows how to run La Cucina. read more

OLD FASHIONED-yes please ! Love the recipes that the bartenders and management come up with ! They promote seasonal drinks and food and keep it delicious, presentable and healthy! Service is always great and management is always present! Great job - if you haven't been - it's a must ! Try the cauliflower bites - short ribs- carnivore pizza - finishes with the homemade key lime personal pie! read more

My daughter and I came here on a Thursday evening for an early dinner. They were not busy so we scored a nice booth immediately. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. This was both our first time so we needed more time figuring out what we wanted. She ordered the cauliflower bites appetizer and the beet salad. She was happy with both. I opted for the veggie pizza with cauliflower crust. It was delicious! Everything was great here. The service was great. The decor was appealing and welcoming. The food was very tasty. They even have mocktails. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. read more

Friday Night Meetup with the ladies!! Good size group! Service was okay! The place was very busy it's Friday after work of course it's busy! People love happy hour. I missed that I arrived right when it ended 6pm. Decided to try the Whisky Burger which I was told they are know for! Let's just say I wasn't impressed. The burger was cold the cheese wasn't melted at all I removed the cheese very easily! I believe the burger was a frozen patty not 100% sure buttttttt pretty sure it was. I believe it was supposed to have some sort of sauce on it, but that was missing. The best part of the burger was the onion strings or straws whatever you would like to call them. The fries were cold as well! I will say the manager was walking thru and one of my friends at the table directed him my way I shared with him my thoughts on the burger. He did offer to cook another one I refused because then everyone else would be done with their food while I would be waiting for mine. The meal was taken off my bill thank you for that. Honestly I don't think I would go back! This was my second trip there and the first one wasn't a good experience either! read more

The food was great and the service was quick! Our waiter, Josh, was super kind and made sure to check on us often.

Great experience all around! The service was super friendly and helpful. My boyfriend got the fish and chips and liked them a lot. I had the smothered shrimp -- so good! I also have a gluten allergy, and they were really careful and accommodating, which I really appreciated. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Great food, amazing service. Very cool restaurant. Five people in our party, we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. I got the fish tacos and sweet potato fries. I dip my fries in ranch. The fish was tuna and it was great! Would absolutely come back. read more

The Whiskey Kitchen is a decent, american food joint. We came on a super busy night (the Monday after Christmas) where people were getting 30 minute wait times. There weren't many other options open in the area, so we waited. It ended up being a bit shorter than that. We were optimistic because of how busy it was. All of the food at the tables looked good. We were sat at a booth in the dining room, where our server took good care of us. She obviously had a large number of tables but was very friendly. For appetizers, we tried the pretzel with beer cheese and the buffalo cauliflower. The cauliflower was the best thing we ordered by far. If I came again, I would get it as my entree. Really, it would be the only thing we come back for. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was good, as well, but not my favorite ever. Fries were served cold and the short rib entree was presented sadly. Again, nothing was bad, just not memorable! read more

I met a friend here for dinner....she picked the place. They do have a parking lot so parking is easy. We went during the week right after 5. It was definitely getting busy. I was seated right away and my friend showed up shortly afterwards. Service was friendly. I did have to ask about HH because that is why I was there. I didn't really see any signage for HH but I could have missed it. We split the Buffalo Cauliflower which was delicious. I could have eaten the whole plate myself. We drank wine and my friend ordered a dinner. She liked her dinner and she recommended several things from the menu. I chose to not have anything else. This restaurant isn't convenient for me but if a friend suggested it, I would go back. I didn't really try a lot of things on the menu but the cauliflower was good. read more

This is hands down our fav burger restaurant!!! First visit we got burgers and can't stop ordering the same thing every time we come. This is our fourth visit in a month. The service is always pretty fast. The waitresses are very attentive. The burger is juicy and full of flavor and the sweet potato fries are the best in the 757 read more

ive been a couple times but after today i felt like this place def deserved a review. I love whiskey kitchen I've been w my family multiple times and gone by myself a couple too. They have great new beers and really really good fried pickles. The service today was by far the best service I have ever received. I ordered a Tuna burger, something I literally never order as I am very picky with fish but wanted to try something new (I am very big on texture and I frequently can't eat it not due to taste but texture) I didn't quite enjoy it for said texture (taste was great again tuna is just not my thing I think) they realized this, took it off my bill entirely and I believe it was the owner or chef came up and asked if I would like something complementary instead. They even wrote me an apology note (again NOT their fault at all it was delicious). I have been there twice this week and both times the food tasted fresh and amazing and it was genuinely the sweetest nicest interaction I have had to date at a restaurant ever and I'll absolutely be coming back. read more

Whiskey Kitchen has been around for years. We have come here from the start. We usually go for dinner but recently we went for lunch. Really great service. Never once did I have to ask for a refill. Drinks just showed up. Best service I have had in a while. Fast and friendly. Food was great like always. I do love their fries. Chicken salad wrap was good. My niece got the Whisky Burger. The bacon was perfect, the fried onions ontop were crisp snd tasty, and the burger was cooked to perfection. Whiskey kitchen for the WIN They have lovely seating outside as well as high top seating, bar seating, and booth seating inside. Pretty inside with the dark wood tables and mostly painted black walls and ceiling. You should see the menu for the beer on tap. EXCELLENT. They have a great whiskey menu with lots to choose from 5 star for sure read more

I've visited The Whiskey Kitchen only a few times but the last time I went, I had the Sesame Ginger Tuna salad and I was hooked ever since so when I was craving a salad this week, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Thankfully, there was no wait (perks of going out to eat during the week lol) so we were able to walk right in and get a table. Since I was really hungry, we ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower Bites as an appetizer and they were really delicious. I loved how big the chunks of cauliflower were and the Buffalo sauce wasn't too spicy at all. It's served with two types of dips, one was the blue cheese dressing and I'm not sure which the other was but both were very good. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Salad Wrap which he said could've used more flavor but I ordered the Sesame Ginger Tuna salad which was superb. I was thankful that the waiter asked how I liked my tuna cooked instead of just assuming how I wanted it and I did order it Medium cooked. The salad is served with the sesame ginger dressing on the side which I love but I did need extra because the one wasn't quite enough. Overall, I love the vibe of Whiskey Kitchen and their staff is very friendly. The next time I go, I'm going to try something new on the menu but if you are looking for a great salad, please head over to Whiskey Kitchen. You will not be disappointed. read more

I visited here around 8pm on a Sunday evening with a friend. The ambiance was nice. There wasn't many people present. There is a full bar and many beer options. The waitress came over a couple minutes later after being seated in a booth and took our drink order. We both got waters. While reviewing the menu, I noticed two bbq sauces, one is the house and the other is Korean. The waitress had trouble verbalizing the differences, so she brought out both to taste. They were both delicious. I ordered boneless Korean bbq wings as an appetizer. I was going to get baby back ribs as an entree but waitress stated that they ran out of ribs. I ended getting shrimp and grits instead. My friend got chicken tenders and fries. The order was placed around 8:12pm. The appetizer came around 8:25pm. The wings were somewhat overcooked. It was hard to stick fork in it. I also noticed that bbq sauce didn't entirely cover most of the wings. The entrees came around 8:30pm. The timing between the two was very minimum. My shrimp and grits were on the warmer side than hot. It was delicious to me. However, there want much food for it be $24. There were a lot of toppings, which was fine for me. However, it could be overpowering for others. Overall, the experience was okay. We were out by 8:50pm. Maybe the mediocre experience was due to them about to close at 9? However, that shouldn't dictate the service given to customers, in my opinion. I'm interested in trying the ribs, so I would come back for that. I would've enjoyed the boneless wings more had they not been over cooked. I wish my shrimp & grits were more. It wasn't very filling, to me. The staff was super friendly and nice. I assume it was a slow day as I overheard staff discussing how little people made that day. As I was leaving, I noticed they do have outside seating. read more
