The service is always amazing.Even when it is crowded, we don't ever really have a terribly long wait, and the food is amazing.

Whiskey Bar is one of my favorite restaurants in Augusta, especially for a picky eater and a burger lover! I have been multiple times before but this is my first review! The restaurant is unique on the inside and gives a somewhat hole-in-the-wall bar vibe (but cleaner). During the day time, I would say it is family friendly, but at night it can definitely get rowdier so go at your own risk, it is called Whiskey Bar after all. The burgers are very good and are cooked very well with lots of options for customization. I always go for the classic WB(K) burger with Swiss cheese and pickles. The waffle fries are always so crisp and yummy. The same goes for the potstickers as an appetizer. Even their other burger combos that seem strange are actually pretty good if you are into that type of burger. The service is always pretty good. Friendly staff that was quick. Not a long wait on a Tuesday night, but have definitely waited before on a Friday or Saturday. They have a first come, first serve bar as well. The tables can be somewhat cramped depending on where you are sat and it is definitely not an accessible place as the entrance is crammed and all the tables are high tops on the inside, the outside is better with low top tables and benches. The Diet Coke was okay. A little syrupy so their ratio on the fountain soda machine must be a little off. Still good, but I have had better. Overall, one of the best burger restaurants in Augusta and most stop place in the area! read more

Came here on a Saturday evening and the place was packed! It's located in the downtown area and parking was a hassle (tip: find a parking garage fee blocks away). I came alone and seated myself at the bar. It took 20 minutes before someone asked to take my order. And it took another 40 minutes for the food to come out. They were quick to ring me out tho. I ordered a burger with sweet potato fries and they were both good. I think it's a good local restaurant-bar, good for the vibes. Just wish the service was better. read more

Customer Service: 5 Quality of food: 5 Quality of drinks: 5 Quantity of food: 5 Parking: 5 Atmosphere: 5 We decided to grab dinner at this franchise restaurant in Augusta, GA last night, and we had a great experience. We were able to easily find street parking nearby. Upon entering the staff was very friendly and quickly got us seated. We ordered some drinks and we could quickly tell their drinks were not watered down. Than we ordered an Elway burger and some of their chicken wings. Everything tasted amazing and were very plentiful. Our waitress wasn't very attentive herself, but the rest of the staff was very friendly and professional. I shall return for more yummy wings and drinks! Thank you to your staff. read more

I came here after work with some coworkers, and I've been told they get busy fast, but when we went we were able to be sat immediately. They have a good seasonal menu, and from that I ordered the blackberry lemonade (has bourbon in it). We also ordered the chili pimento cheese burger, pork belly slaw wrap, and Katsu curry rice. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and came out at a perfect time. Prices weren't bad too, and they're known for their whiskey, so definitely go try that too. read more

From the moment I crossed the threshold, I was immediately greeted by the host with a smile and seated in a booth. The lights were firmly dim but up enough where one could see. The game's were on the TV screens and everyone was having a ball. The food was off the hook! I started out with a Lavender Lemonade to drink and buffalo tots. It was so good that I had to get the actual buffalo chicken dip and it was delicious!! Then for my meal, I did the WB burger and added a fried egg and avocado. All and all my experience was excellent and I will definitely return again! read more

Been coming here for years but first time dropping a review. It's a tavern/bar and relaxed atmosphere. They have really good burgers here, I usually get the Devils Peak...its spicy so dont try unless you can eat Thai-level spicy. Or get the salsa on the side. I like the sweet potato fries as my side to balance out the spiciness. Pear ale that's on tap is excellent and great for summer...very light and refreshing! Also tried wings...you get 10 and 2 flavors. We got the lemon pepper and maple chili. Lemon pepper was a dry seasoning and I thought the flavors were good...I was surprised by the maple chili...while it doesnt have any spuxiness to it despite the name, I enjoyed a almost candy crunch on the first bute. Service was quick and they brought everything in a timely manner. read more

This bar is located in downtown and has a cool vibe with exposed brick and wooden booths. Fully stocked barn area, too. Service was friendly & helpful. I had their regular burger and onion rings. Burger was solid but could have used a bit more seasoning. Onion rings were tasty, and tasted beer batterered and were crispy. I would return. read more

Wound up in the area on a very busy weekend, so went to Yelp for advice. Unfortunately, my experience was VERY different. After waiting at the table for 15 minutes, we got waited on by a very nice man...who never returned. Soft drinks arrived 5 mins later and we ordered our burgers with someone else. Being gluten free, I went with the Metro Burger ("Classic garlic sautéed mushroom swiss burger . . . solid and old school, just like the joint next door"), no bun as they don't have a gf one, with sweet potato fries. Pretty simple order. 15 minutes later it hits the table and has a funky gravy sauce, which may have been delightful, but wasn't on the menu, so I inquired as to whether it was gf or not. Server leaves, another 10 mins goes by, and she returns to say that they are not sure. Fair, can you just make me a burger with only mushrooms and swiss cheese? No problem. By the time it returned, my partner in crime was done with lunch and the burger has another slime on it and the mushrooms have crunchy sprinkles added post cooking. Again, she can't tell me what it is, so I managed to eat 1/2 a plate of sweet potato fries and then left without a simple burger. Cute place, but I'm not into arguing with servers to receive eye rolls over the basics. Add in drinks not being refilled and employees standing at the front, maybe it was just an off day, but I will not return. Oh, my lunch companion was not impressed with his burger either...and that is not a brioche bun. read more

The metro burger was a three, slightly overcooked, and it wasn't that hot, so it told me it was cooked and then almost reheated. Cheese was also not melted as another sign for the reheating theory. Onion rings were adequate but a little greasy. I ordered a Cali burger and liked the cucumber, avocado and jalapeño on it, but similar situation with the burger temp and ordered it with an egg and the white were still runny, which who likes that. The waffle fries were fine but not as good as Chick-fil-A's. The old fashions were a strong pour and I liked the big ice cube without air, the Manhattan was ok, and the whiskey sour was not thar tasty in my opinion nor frothed. read more

Good food quickly, while having a couple of drinks. Exceptional service for a busy Friday night.

My favorite restaurant. Every time I eat here the food has me wanting to slip my number to one of the chefs. Palette is completely unique and I've lived all over. Very upset that they're closed on sundays!!! This was the burger squidward finally tasted and became addicted and obese from. Literally blows my mind and if I come there and it's a 50 minute wait because of this review I'm coming back to delete it. read more

Great fusion flavors and fun vibes Whiskey Bar Kitchen is such a cool spot--love the fusion of American classics with Japanese twists. The menu is creative and flavorful, with something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for a juicy burger, sushi, or something in between. Service is consistently friendly and laid-back, which adds to the welcoming vibe. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between casual and lively--great for meeting up with friends, grabbing a drink, or just hanging out for a while. It's one of those places that never gets old. Solid food, great cocktails, and a fun energy that keeps you coming back. read more

Absolutely terrible experience. My food was served lukewarm -- the fries were practically inedible and my cheesesteak was cold. When I mentioned it to the server, she immediately got defensive, insisting the food wasn't cold. I found it pretty ridiculous that someone who isn't eating the meal was arguing about its temperature. She walked away, came back about 10 minutes later, and said, "I can get you fresh fries, but what are YOU going to do about this cheesesteak?" Then she continued debating whether the food was actually cold instead of just taking care of the problem. To make it worse, the manager never came to the table or checked in at all. The lack of professionalism and customer care was shocking. Overall, a really disappointing experience -- I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Love the ambiance of this place. The drinks at every good and strong. It has a pretty big menu, and I think they could do away with some of the items. The curry is very good, and the maple waffle fries were an interesting but great flavor pairing. The service was amazing as well. read more

I categorize restaurants in "fast", "medium", and "fancy." Fast is for your quick spots. In, out, and consistent. Fancy is when you have to think twice about your outfit. Wine comes by the bottle, cocktails are smoking (literally), food is divine. But most days I find myself at medium. Medium is where you are going to sit, relax, and enjoy a good meal. WBK is such a place. Usually I gravitate to outdoor seating, to feel the full ambiance of the city. You come downtown for a reason right? I want to hear the passing conversations, cars in traffic, see the occasional furry friend taking an evening stroll. And of course I come here for the food. Want one of the best burgers in the area? Here. Chicken and teriyaki? Here. Pork belly sandwich? Yep, still here. And don't even get me started on the buffalo chicken dip and sweet potato fries. Now let's talk about their drinks. When it comes to canned and bottled, they have the usual. Domestics, IPA's, etc. But when it comes to the whiskey, well there's a reason they were named one of the top 50 whiskey bars in the U.S. by Yelp. Even if you do sit outside, venture in to view the wall of whiskey. They truly have it all. And I will mention that their Moscow Mule and Old Fashioned are not for the weak of heart. The team here is always friendly and quick. Also, they use Waitlist on Yelp so go ahead and reserve a table! It can fill up fast. read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food/Drinks. A Price. A Had drink overs at Metro bar while waiting for table 45 mins at whiskey bar. Hlad to know I could take over cocktails when table was ready. Very loud in here. Hosts and Servers were friendly and helpful. Love their HOt waffle buffalo sauce fries with blue cheese. And the potstickers were nicely filled with pork and delish sauce I ordered the Pig platter with miso sauce. Comes with 2 patties and salad over rice. Get a side of curry sauce for to get a hint of what the sauce tastes like. I'm a fan of both! It gets quite busy , so be patient. I ended up helping server arranging tabs. Overall, I'm still a FaN! read more

Service was excellent. Food was decent. Can't go wrong with tater tots, onion rings were yummy, buns were stale :(

This was my first time visiting. It was an "ok" experience. I wasn't impressed as I thought I'd be. I must say, we didn't have to wait the entire 15 minutes we were quoted to be seen. That was a plus. It was quite louder than expected in the restaurant. The noise didn't run us away. I ordered lemon pepper wings double fried and regular waffle fries. Unfortunately, my wings were not double fried and they were a little stingy on the lemon pepper. My waffle fries were overcooked but I ate them. I saved my wings to take home and gave them away. I may visit again but order something different and hopefully the experience will be better. read more

Lots of potential, but they have a lot of work to get it right. We went on a busy Monday night. But Monday- not a weekend. It took 45 minutes to get drinks, one was eventually comp'd because they took so long. Then got food 5 minutes later. It was badly over cooked and relatively bland. Didn't get the right sauces. And couldn't say anything about it because the waiter only came by right after dropping off food and when we called for the check. Maybe it would be better another time, but it wasn't good tonight. read more

They have a varied menu, staff was friendly and food came out I had the works hamburger it was messy but very good the meat was seasoned to perfection the brioche bun was lightly toasted my only complaint was the loaded tater tots they were just plain tots with topping spread on top they were ok but expensive for what they were read more

This is probably my favorite place for a burger in Augusta. They're juicy, and my order is always correct.

I regularly travel all over the country, and end up trying a wide variety of bars/restaurants. As somewhat of a Scotch aficionado, Whiskey Bar (Kitchen) is definitely deserving of a mention. They have a solid collection, plenty of bourbon, but especially good if you are looking to for Rye, Irish Whisky, Japanese, or Single Malt Scotch. But more importantly, they are one of the more generously priced locations I have encountered. Most bars charge 20-25% of the bottle per pour. This is constant across most of the US, and from cheap to expensive whisky. Whiskey Bar (Restaurant) seems to average 10-15%, which is unprecedented, allowing connoisseurs to experience a significantly wider variety for the same price point. The atmosphere is good, the service is great. If you are passing through Augusta, I highly recommend stopping in. read more

Amazing food and friendly service every time. They have the absolute best burgers in town.

Really great selection of drinks, and drinks can be customized to taste. I had the katsu curry bowl, which was excellent- the pork to rice ratio was great, the pork was crispy, and the rice was flavored well with grated ginger and onions that really elevated the dish. I didn't expect the Japanese flavors to be great in Augusta, but I was pleasantly surprised. Burgers were also great, and highly recommend the sweet potato fries. I have previously tried the Devils peak and can confirm that it is not for those with low spice tolerance, but it is my personal favorite. read more

This place is quite solid! Their menu is small but has a variety of things to offer. It's always a hit with my friends. Their burgers are insanely tall (see pic for reference) and reasonably priced. (5/5 stars because the bread is also amazing! They had like. Croissant buns or something.) I love the different topping combos they have for them. Their sweet potato fries and coconut sauce is also ~heavenly~ 5/5 stars. The waffle fries were thinner than chickfila version which means they were not as soft- some people prefer one over the other (3.5/5 for me) Tip: you can sub any burger with chicken if you don't eat beef! They also have pork cutlet and pork cutlet sandwich which is really cool but I havent tried those yet. read more

I went with a group of coworkers for dinner. This had been on my list for a bit so I was glad to get the chance to check it out. We split edamame, buffalo chicken dip, and the death valley salsa. Our favorite was the buffalo chicken dip. The death valley salsa was good but I didn't think it was that spicy (maybe I missed something?). The edamame was okay but I prefer Sole's spicy garlic edamame. I had the sweet potato fries with coconut cream sauce and the pork belly wrap for dinner. Even though the wrap is on the appetizers menu, it is a full sandwich, so come hungry. The fries with coconut cream sauce were decent, but not my favorite. The wrap was really good! Everyone else enjoyed their meals too. read more
