Great Drinks, Great Food & Even Better Vibes! Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you don't even plan! I decided to stop by Whiskey Cake in Stafford, Texas, to check out their happy hour, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! They offer $8 cocktails and appetizers, which is already a win in my book! Espresso Martinis: 5/5 Now y'all know I love a good espresso martini, and baby, these were DELICIOUS! So good that I had TWO! Perfectly made, smooth, and absolutely worth ordering again. And apparently, I wasn't the only one impressed! Once people around me started seeing my martinis, they were like, "Ooooh, that looks good! I want one too!" At that point, I was basically an unofficial brand ambassador! Spinach & Artichoke Dip: 5/5 Rich, creamy, flavorful, and just GOOD! What really stood out to me were the little crispy crackers they served alongside it. I'm so accustomed to spinach and artichoke dip being served with tortilla chips or toasted bread, so this was a nice change! The crackers complemented the dip perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Service: 5/5 Now, let's talk about Gori, my server and bartender! What a sweetheart! The restaurant was SUPER busy, but you would've never known it based on the attention and service he provided. He was kind, personable, patient, and took the time to answer my questions without ever making me feel rushed. And did I mention he made those delicious espresso martinis?! Gori definitely deserves his flowers! Atmosphere & Good Company: 5/5 But what really made this visit special was the PEOPLE! I was sitting at the bar and struck up a lovely conversation with a group of gentlemen enjoying lunch to my right. Then, to my left, I had the pleasure of meeting two of the sweetest ladies, Stephanie and Natalie! Y'all, when I tell you we had such a great time talking! It felt like catching up with girlfriends I'd known for years. We laughed, shared stories, exchanged phone numbers, and hopefully this is the beginning of some new friendships and future outings! And that's what I love about experiences like this. Sometimes you go somewhere just to grab a cocktail and a bite to eat, and you leave with so much more! Overall Experience: 5/5 Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great atmosphere. And most importantly, GREAT PEOPLE! Whiskey Cake, you understood the assignment! I'll definitely be back, and if you're in the Stafford area looking for a good happy hour spot, I'd absolutely recommend giving them a try! LoveJones Eats | Good Food. Good Drinks.

I love this place. I've been here multiple times over the last few years both as just a dine in and part of a large planned party. The quality of the food and service is always top tier. The only thing is if you eat something and love it- it won't be there a long time because they change their menu, but that's also the great thing about them. It's a new restaurant everytime and because they do things so well- you really can't miss. Oh yea- and the namesake dessert is AMAZING! read more

Love this place. Great food. Ample parking. Great food and great service. Never having to ask for refills. Waitstaff automatically bring refills to table. read more

Whiskey Cake Kitchen had been on my list forever and I finally had the chance to go for dinner. It was so good! I ordered the wings and deviled eggs for appetizer. Steak frites for entree and the whiskey cake for dessert and I was very satisfied. This place is huge, seatings indoor and a big covered patio outdoor. The indoor decor is very cabin and rustic like, feels very cozy and warm yet so clean and fancy! The bar area is huge with a long list of whiskey! Great service and great food will definitely be back. read more

First time here and was really impressed by the service from the front to the bar. Getting seated was super quick. We opted to sit in the bar versus at a table instead. The vibe here is casual but upbeat. This is a place you can come just to hang or to celebrate. I love when places have charcuterie boards...this one did not disappoint. Everything on the board was bomb! Not your regular cheese and salami board. The mustard seed and their cheese spread was a great addition. The other thing which I'm not sure of was the pineapple spread but that wasn't bad either. My son ate all his steak and egg hash so I imagine that was super yummy. All in all I would definitely come back here! read more

The service was superior. It is alway a wonderful and warm atmosphere and Not Rushed. The jalapino guida biscuits and gravy were excellent. Crab Benedict eggs were wonderful. I got this Ruben sandwich and it was wonderful. The atmosphere is always perfect and the whisky cake unbeatable . Anya was our server and was excellent! read more

Either I need to come more frequent to order my favs or I need to write a letter pleading with corporate to bring back the original hummus plate and the mini charcuterie. Everytime I come back they have taken one of my usual items off . Thankfully the fries and mustard seed ketchup still hit the spot! I did try the cinnamon roll for the first time today. It is definitely meant to be shared. So flavorful and soft. I didn't technically have any brunch food so I'll be back to try those jalepeno cheddar biscuits and gravy read more

Had a great experience at Whiskey Cake in Stafford yesterday. My family treated me a fantastic brunch for Father's Day weekend. My wife and I have been to WC several times before for lunch, happy hour, and dinner but this was our first time for brunch. We had 1pm reservations and the sky looked like it was going to pour down ran any moment. Our hostess was very kind and let us pick the table we wished to sit in order to get a good view of the bar and windows to keep an eye on the weather and the arrival of our family members. Our server, Dane, was in top form and gave us suggestions for a starter. We were torn between the Jalapeno-gouda biscuits, Candied Bacon and other tasty sounding dishes and quickly agreed the Goat Cheese Fondue. The dish arrived shortly after our whole party was seated. Dane had great presentation as he drizzled olive oil over the steamy, bubbling cheese dish that looked amazing, smelled wonderful, and tasted even better. Melted goat goat cheese with a blend of olives, roasted tomatoes, garlic confit and thyme that we generously spread over warm toast points. It was all devoured in no time. Dane returned to clear our plates and took our order. The brunch menu is an exploration in so many things to suit your breakfast or lunch craving. We ordered the Strawberry Short Stack, the Hangover Burger, Brunch Sandwich, and the Steak and Egg Hash. Out of curiosity we also ordered a side of the Green Chile Cheese Grits. My wife and I love to share so the Strawberry Short Stack and Brunch Sandwich were perfect for dividing. Those pancakes are picture perfect, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. Interestingly, Dane had asked if we wanted the toppings of strawberry compote, vanilla anglaise, whipped strawberry butter, and lemon shortbread crumble on the side so we could control the sweetness. For us that was the perfect suggestion as we were able to individually taste each accoutrement to build our perfect bite. The Brunch Sandwich was fantastic. Sometimes a breakfast sandwich can appear to be unwieldy but in this case it was manageable to cut in half and handle appropriately, The everything bagel was the right vehicle for this savory bite of fried-medium egg, layered with applewood smoked bacon, pickled Fresno peppers (for nice pop of spice), greens, american cheese, and a garlic-basil aioli. I didn't taste the Hangover Burger nor the Steak and Egg Hash, perhaps because I was a bit gorged on the pancakes and sandwich but the dishes looked amazing and I have a mental shortlist for the next time we dine at WC. Oh, and I did mention that we were curious about the Green Chile Cheese Grits. Out of this world! Those grits stole the show. We all kept commenting on them. Get them. You will be rewarded. When we dine we always expect good food. For us, service is the reason to come back. Dane was an outstanding server. He had personality and hospitality which is rare these days. He was conversationally engaging. He never lingered too long, always seemed to anticipate what we might need, politely asking to clear plates. Hat's off to Dane. Thank you Whiskey Cake for delivering a great dining experience to kick-off Father's Day weekend. We will be back. read more

Jakeah was an amazing server. So attentive and kind. Everything was exceptionally tasty, fresh, and the portions were huge. We took a lot home. We recommend: fish and chips, chicken and waffles, salmon, the chili, and the crispy chicken sandwich. The whiskey cake was amazing as usual and their whipped cream could be a dessert on its own! Love dining here. read more

Went to Whiskey Cake last night for a late dinner and really enjoyed the overall vibe. The atmosphere was surprisingly calm and quiet for the evening, which made it a great spot to hang out and catch up with our group. Our waitress was such a sweet and helpful person--super attentive and made the experience even better. We had a larger party, so we got to try a wide range of dishes. I ordered the steak frites with a side of Brussels sprouts and an order of the crab fritters. Overall, the food was pretty solid. The steak frites came with a really nice chimichurri sauce that paired well with the dish. The fries were on the soggier side, but that's more of a personal preference. The only real miss for me was the Brussels sprouts. They had a strange vinegar-like aftertaste that just didn't hit right and honestly felt like something that shouldn't be consumed. Aside from that, everything else was enjoyable, and the service and atmosphere definitely carried the experience. Would come back, but probably skipping the Brussels next time! read more

This looks to be a great business / client meeting spot. With a wide open bar area and plenty of room this building can easily host large parties while still maintaining intimate space for date night couples. Great ambience and seating areas off the lounge if they get on a wait. While we were immediately sat the hiccup occurred a few times with service. Off the start no one came to the table for over ten minutes and then only to pour us water. Wasn't even sure was the server as no introduction or welcome was made. Same person returned about 8 minutes later and grabbed a drink order(1 beer. 1 NA beer) which arrived ten minutes later. We put in app order at that point and were not given the chance to put in dinner order. Apps candied bacon and Brussels sprouts were excellent and during check back we placed dinner order. Service missed drink refill ask. Had to flag down a different person to get second round of drinks. Believe a manager. Those drinks came out about 5 minutes later but only One beer. Server arrived with entries about ten minutes later and I pointed out I did not get the NA beer. Entree was pork chop and burger. Both again were excellent. Overall had services been on point easy five star and I definitely would be back to entertain good clients as this is a good experience but not at high end steak house prices. Drinks, apps, entrees for two landed $120 w/ tip. read more

Not the first time we've been to whiskey cake but this is the first time at this location! We were sat and helped immediately - our waiter was super attentive. The food came a bit slow but it was a friday night at 7pm so I understand. We got fried green tomatoes, Steak Frits and sandwich. Huge options. We sat outside and it was nice weather! Ambiance inside is always nice at Whiskey cake - just a bit on the louder side. read more

I wish they had a little bit more on their menu But, I absolutely love the place. It reminds me of like a laid back speak easy and a saloon mixed together. I dont know why. I ordered the salmon salad and a Jessica Wabbit as usual. No whiskey cake this time. read more

We came in on a cold Sunday afternoon and so had the place almost to ourselves. It was very quiet. The service was excellent and Dane is an amazing server. He is entertaining and professional. And the food is very delicious. I had the shrimp rigatoni (yummy) and hubby had fish (this fish gets a 7 stars ) and chips. The fish was extremely flaky and not dry. The only issue we ( and I mean just me) is that my old fashioned did not have the orange garnish...I still drank it though. We definitely will be back. read more

Updating my review because tonight was our third visit to Whiskey Cake. We had an AMAZING experience yet again. Our server/bartender, Christian, took great care of us. We got the crab cake appetizer again and split the steak frites with beef tallow chimichurri, Parmesan fries, and an extra side of Mac & cheese again. I tried the new strawberry hibiscus margarita & ended up having two of them because it was THAT good. The restaurant itself is very inviting & relaxing, but still somewhat upscale. If you're looking for a place with good food, balanced cocktails, and top notch service, Whiskey Cake is the place to go. We will DEFINITELY be back when we come back to Houston/Stafford area. 10/10 across the board for this place. read more

I went to Whiskey Cake Stafford TX so excited as this place has great food, whiskey and people working. Husband and I were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Carl was our server and he continued the great hospitality that Whiskey cake is known for. We started with the Goat cheese fondue with toasted bread. All ingredients are sourced locally. We also had a delicious spiced old fashioned to drink. Husband had the Dutch sandwich and I had the delicious chicken and waffle. We ended the meal with the noted Whiskey Cake dessert. The ambiance was like having dinner at a a friend's house with service at a 5 star restaurant. We talked to 'J' about all the great whiskies they have and about the 'High West' whiskey dinner they have approaching. Everything was delicious and wonderful. Thank you Carl, J and Whiskey Cake for a great experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Great location! We were seated right away and with a smile as soon as we entered. The table was clean. There was a large group next to us talking loudly, but that was fine. The menu is smaller now, but it has some really good items on it. This specialized deviled egg was French onion flavored and it was so good. The French onion burger and fries were also delicious. The steak free with the Parmesan fries was spectacular. Hands-down, I would get that again. And we finished off with some whiskey cake as we couldn't pass that up. And it was delicious as always. The waiter was nice and somewhat attentive. The bathrooms were clean. Overall, a good experience and a good location. read more

Whiskey Cake is my go to spot. I love the assortment of appetizers from the candied bacon, the crab cakes(more crab than cake ok!), the melted cheese ,olive oil drizzle along with fresh olives and veggies and side of toasted bread it's my go to but I've literally ordered every appetizer with my family of nine and my least favorite was the devil eggs but they are still good! My main dish and favorite is the salmon in an oyster brother cooked medium it is so warm and light just the BEST. However the company continues to switch out the best salmon dish with another that I could do without and the waiters agree but they try to us variety so my hats off for the attempt. Staff is fantastic the drinks tasty and the comfort level for dining or just sitting with friends to share appetizers and a drink is just perfect. Like you are in a classier version of an episode of CHEERS. Everybody knows your name lol. Kids are welcome. Outside seating is relaxing because they have heaters/ fire pit to keep you toasty. I love this place. The prices are fair think $20 for most dishes. $60 for app, entree and drink, dessert with tip. Whiskey cake is very rich so it's a preference thing I liked it but couldn't finish it. Can't go wrong ever eating at Whiskey Cake!!!! read more

Absolutely delicious! I loved everything about this place! The service was soo sweet. The food was deliciously made. The service was amazing! Also the whiskey cake with homemade whip cream is perfection in a bowl Can't wait to go back read more

We visited this establishment on Sunday July 30. We sat at the bar and were waited on by the bartender/waitress by the name of Shawna. Shawna was very rude and condescending when servicing us. She took more than 15 minutes to even give us our menus and would stop by periodically to let us know that she'll be with us in a moment. Before placing our order, we asked to have the countertop cleaned because it wasn't wiped down from the last service. She appeared to be irritated by the request. It was all downhill from there. The appetizers were good as well as the drinks. My entrée was questionable. It just didn't look appetizing and it wasn't what I expected based on the description described in the menu, I was very disappointed. We asked to speak to a manager twice, and after the second request, Shawna finally asked the manager to step over and speak with us. The manager was very accommodating. Needless to say we won't be back and this was conveyed to the manager as well! read more

The food, service, and ambiance were great! Our waiter was very nice and helpful with deciding what to order. I had the cod fish and it was really good! Only change would be the fish not be placed directly on the fries due to grease dripping on them. Other than that no changes! Omg and the cake was so good! We were so full we didn't even finish it. Edit: Came back and things were just as great as before! I even had the same waiter, Chris. Kudos to him! Excellent customer service and food was fast/fresh! I repeated my order, I'll need to try something new next time. read more

I was not impressed with this menu. It felt like I had very limited options. Came here before going to see a movie for a quick bite. The ambience of the place is nice. There is a pretty big bar right in the center and the lights are dim. I ordered the chicken and waffle that was pretty good. My espresso martini was great. Due to the limited options I wouldn't come back here. read more

From the moment I stepped inside, the restaurant exuded a relaxed, inviting ambiance that immediately set the tone for a pleasant experience. Although the hostess wasn't stationed at the door upon arrival, the wait was minimal--just enough time for me to drift toward the bar, which I was already eyeing with interest. Arriving just after the lunch rush proved ideal; the space wasn't crowded, and parking was effortless, adding to the ease of the visit. Behind the bar, Shonna was an absolute standout. Warm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly engaging, she curated a drink selection with the confidence of someone who truly knows her craft. The cocktail she guided me toward was perfectly suited to my palate. On her recommendation, I tried the fish and chips--and I'm glad I listened. The dish was beautifully executed, but it was the unexpected brightness of the dill that elevated it beyond the familiar, giving it a memorable twist that lingered long after the last bite. As someone visiting from California, I didn't anticipate finding a spot that felt both comfortably familiar and refreshingly distinctive. This place struck that balance with ease. I'd confidently recommend it to anyone seeking a laid-back atmosphere paired with thoughtful service and well-crafted dishes. read more

I had never been to a whiskey cake before but I see them around all the time so I finally stopped by for a weeknight dinner. The place was mostly empty so I sat at the bar and the service was quick. The Dutch wasn't what I was expecting... it sort of reminded me of a Philly cheesesteak which I really enjoy and I like the sandwich. The fries were quite good as well! I ordered the hummus for a snack for the next day and it was incredible. A large portion with lots of veggies and pita. I really liked the spice on top of the hummus. Good restaurant in this area! read more

The staff was friendly and helpful, offering menu suggestions. On a Sunday night, it wasn't too busy or loud. The meal was perfectly paced. Sometimes, you just need a salad, and the Farm Salad is a simple, great option. The Chili BBQ Glazed Duck Wings didn't taste game-y, and I preferred these duck wings over Chili BBQ chicken wings. The Candied Bacon tasted exactly like how it sounded like it would taste: amazing. The Bone-In Pork Chop was huge but perfectly cooked. It was tender, and the carrots were flavorful. The Whiskey Cake came with a sweet whipped cream on the side. I liked the toffee-like flavor and the sticky outside of the cake. The inside of the cake wasn't anything special with a mouthfeel similar to that of a pound cake. read more

Food was great, our waitress was super sweet! First time here, was super stoked to try it due to high recommendations. I enjoy how dim it is inside the restaurant. I did go later in the evening but still a chill vibe. Started with their Deviled eggs, I probably wouldn't get them again. It had a lot going on for my preference. We did try their Brussels sprouts, loved them. For my main entree I had their "Steak Frite". My piece of meat was cook to perfection, I will forever rave about their fries. So much flavor, had some garlic to it plus the parmesan on top. Nice golden crunch. On top, the meal had Shishitos peppers. To me they weren't spicy whatsoever, I wish it had a kick. Over all, everything was amazing. I can't wait to come back to try more. Another note, I've heard good things about their Whiskey selection for those who enjoy a good Whiskey drink. read more

Me and my husband decided to go tonWhiskey Cake for Valentine's Day! We've never been but wanted something semi chill but still nice! When we arrived sheesh parking lot was packed! There's a bunch of food places in the same plaza included in n out and that drive thru line is so busy it loops around to whiskey cake. We reserved a patio table and were happy the patio was covered and had warm areas. We checked out the menu- as a vegetarian I knew I had limited options, although I don't like mushrooms much I decided to pick the only veggie entree which was the mushroom cavatopi pasta. I also was happy to see mocktail La and decided to get the carrot, ginger beer mocktail. Everything came out in a timely manner- they were super busy but we had a good server and greatly good service. The mocktail was good- I wish it had more ginger beer but not bad! And it was larger than I thought it was going to be for $5 My husband ordered the Smokey old fashion which was pretty cool, the waiter added smoke to it but setting this skull thing on fire . My husband liked his drink! Pasta- a bit bland, one of the ingredients was Thai Basil but they didn't cut out all the stems so they were hard to chew. I wish they also cut the basil a bit more to make it easier to chew. My plate was 1:3 mushroom and basil and 2:3 pasta, there was also these crunchy pieces that were really salty like little toppings. I wish it was a bit more mixed in. We decided we needed to try the whiskey cake- the cake was delicious, warm, caramel, topped with pecans that are candied. It came with a separate bowl of homemade whipped cream which was delicious! Melt in your mouth! Overall, whiskey cake is not the best for vegetarians!! I wish they had more options, the one option was too bland for me to come back. I'm sure they have better meat options. read more

Wow what a sleeper. Did not expect a chain to have such elevated flavors! Food was incredible, service was great albeit we were an early bird special and ambiance was nice. The place is huge and pops accommodate lots of people. Ok to the food, we were there for HH so we got the meat and cheese platter, honestly a pass, a little elementary but not docking the place because the rest was life changing. The ricotta peas are a must! So incredible. Chicken was crispy and flavorable. Steak frites were on point but the show stoppers were the English pea pasta. Wow. And the brussel sprouts and also a must. I'll be back for sure and will not pre judge a chain again! read more

3 stars for the food but the only reason I'm giving it a 4 is because our server Chelsey went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. My friend and I arrived at 3pm on a Saturday and it wasn't busy which is good for me. We decided to order their fried green tomatoes as the appetizer. For our mains I got the wood grilled salmon & my friend ordered the French onion burger. Of course you gotta get their famous dessert (Whiskey cake). I thought the fried green tomatoes were solid. The batter was crispy and seasoned well, the dipping sauce was tangy. My friend burger was decent but I don't like the idea of the sauce drenching around the burger. Which causes the bottom of the bun to become soggy right away. Who wants to eat a soggy burger? Not me. The better idea is to have the beef jus on the side. My salmon was solid, it tasted like lemon pepper salmon. The fish was cooked just fine and it was buttery & flaky. I was not a fan of their chowder broth that was in the dish. Flavors were odd and it had a bad sour aftertaste. Chelsey saw the disappointment on my face & offered to bring out the same dish without the chowder. I told her I'll just put my fish and potatoes on a separate plate. The cake was fairly decent but a little too dense for my liking. It was sweet but their house made whip cream balanced it out. It also says that it has whiskey in the cake, I didn't really get that at all. At the end I decided to stay since Chelsey provided amazing service & ordered one of their cocktails. I got the Manhattan & my friend had their Long Island ice tea. Presentation wise it wasn't pretty. I expected since the restaurant has "Whiskey" in their name that they made a manhattan look better. The drink was strong but lacked in elegances. Overall it wasn't a bad experience but it wasn't amazing either, however I'll definitely return since our server was awesome. read more
