Service was good but I had the prime rib sandwich which for $24 was meh. The server did a good job selling it but it didn't come out as stacked high as he said it would. The prime rib slices on the sandwich were fried on flattop and dried out and stringy. The whisky cake itself was pretty great though. read more

Brunch at Whiskey Cake Plano was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding--everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can really tell they take pride in their menu. The atmosphere was just as impressive. It struck the perfect balance between lively and relaxed, making it a great spot to enjoy a weekend brunch without feeling rushed. What truly made our visit unforgettable, though, was our server, Kevin. He was genuinely out of this world--attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and incredibly personable. He anticipated our needs, checked in at just the right moments, and made us feel completely taken care of. Kevin elevated an already great brunch into a top-tier dining experience. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be hoping to sit in Kevin's section again! Left image - Rueben Sandwich Right image - Farmer's breakfast read more

So yum! My mom and I stopped here on a whim because I was craving a burger, and whew, I'm so glad we did! The food was delicious, with all kinds of special sauces and tasty flavors.

My favorite place to get chicken & waffles. The chicken was crispy & not greasy at all. The waffles were soft & fluffy. I also tried the whisky cake & it was very sweet for me. I highly recommend getting a scoop of ice cream with it to make it a little less sweet. read more

What an amazing experience....came here for lunch on a friday afternoon. Walked in, was greeted immediately and sat in a booth immediately. The ambiance of the restaurant is bright and welcoming. Decor of a restaurant that loves its brand. The food was equally if not better than the environment. Ordered a margarita and the goat cheese fondue to start and it was better than I could have expected. For my main dish I ordered the French onion burger. Delicious but very messy. The icing on the " whiskey cake" (which I also had and it was to die for) was Valerie my server. She is not only an amazing server but an incredible person. The service I got from her will be hard to top. If the food didnt make me come back she sure would. You do a lot of things right at this restaurant but having her there is probably the best that you provide. Thank you for a great experience and I can't wait to come back read more

We usually love Whiskey Cake -- it's been our go-to spot for celebrations -- but my birthday dinner tonight 2/1-was really disappointing. We were seated in a corner and it took a long time before anyone came to our table. Our server was then double-sat with a 10-top, so she understandably got overwhelmed, but after that she barely stopped by again until it was time to bring the check. I went through three glasses of water before she finally came for our card. When my food was dropped off, I asked for ranch and had to ask two more times before I ever got it.The steak with the steak frites was good but not worth the cost. I understand being busy, but what was frustrating is that the manager was sitting in a booth on his phone instead of helping on the floor. Overall, it just wasn't the experience you'd expect for a birthday dinner at a place we usually enjoy. L read more

We made a reservation on a weeknight around 5:30 pm and got seated in a few minutes. The restaurant was already pretty crowded by then, due to their happy hour from 3-6 pm. They have small plates and limited selection of cocktails for $7, which is not bad at all! We were able to get a few drinks before happy hour ended; our waitress was pretty good at reminding us about it. I got their great rum punch and my husband ordered their old fashioned. They also had a guava gimlet, which I will try next time! Drinks are 4/5 due to their inconsistency of their old fashioned. For appetizers, we ordered their brussels sprouts. They were pretty good, and had grapes, ricotta cheese (?), and pecans (?) in it. Tasted really good altogether. 5/5 For our main entree, I ordered their grilled shrimp rigatoni and my husband ordered their fish n chips. Both were great. I definitely will be ordering my rigatoni next time. It had the right amount of flavor and had a kick to it, but it wasn't spicy. The fish n chips were good; the fish was huge! 5/5 Overall, we will definitely be coming back and trying their whiskey cake dessert. We were way too full to get it this time around. Our total bill (without tip) came out to be ~$81. read more

It's nice they were open on Christmas Eve and took reservations in advance. We overheard that the wait for no reservations were 3 hours as we were being escorted to our table! For a party of 15+, we expected there to be a wait for things. We were fortunate enough to still participate in their daily happy hour during M-F from 3-6 pm. The HH charcuterie was sad but the spinach dip and hummus plates were decent. They forgot 1-2 HH drinks and charged us full price for some that were ordered. They even forgot one of the kids milk drink and another kids meal while everyone was eating. My medium steak turned into rare, it was very under cooked and chewy I couldn't finish it. The highlights were the Candied Bacon appetizer, featuring thick-cut bacon glazed with a bourbon-infused toffee sauce, and their famous namesake Warm Whiskey Cake dessert. We ordered 2 with ice cream for 15 of us and it was just the right amount. read more

Grabbed some friends and decided to try out brunch. I called ahead and asked about wait times to which I was told it wasn't bad but she went ahead and took my information. When we arrived I was beyond happy that we had done that as there were people everywhere. We were served by Chris and he was extremely helpful, describing dishes, making suggestions and even making accommodations - I don't drink grapefruit juice but wanted the mimosa flight. I ordered the fried green tomatoes, and either I was really hungry and the mimosas were getting to me or these were some of the best fried green 'maters I've ever had. My friends ordered the brussels sprouts and enjoyed them so much that one got an order to go. The pancakes I ordered were okay. I hate to say, nothing to write home about, but you got plenty but they were pancakes. Simple. They said something about lemon strawberry butter or something but I didn't taste that and the strawberries didn't taste like anything. My girlfriends on the other hand both enjoyed their meals. We were told we should get the whiskey cake but we had no room left for it which basically means, try it next time, as we will be back! read more

First of all, these were some of the best Brussel sprouts I have ever had. The Whiskey Cake restaurant's signature appetizer is their Fire Roasted Brussels Sprouts, which features Boursin cheese and grapes as key ingredients, along with a hot honey vinaigrette, spiced pepitas, and parmesan. Whoever had the idea to put this all together, I hope they got an award for it. The mimosa flight was colorful but not sweet enough for me. It's a lot of alcohol for a lightweight and might need to be shared. My eggs were scrambled hard to perfection. My breakfast was good. Our server was Chris. He was very helpful and very attentive. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. read more

Didn't know what to expect still getting used to parking lot restaurants here in Tx but we live real close so we tried it nothing like I was expecting a warm well appointed entrance with a great view of the bar nice distinctly separate areas outdoor, bar nice booths and very unique table lighting" sorry no photos of the lights you will have to go to see them " but on to the food we were greeted by a very knowledgeable waiter who promptly had water and Iced tea at the table and my ice tea never seemed to get low hmmm? Bu as I say on to the food !!! My wife had the grilled shrimp and pasta very well done and a take away portion to boot. I had the chicken and waffle.perfection of a waffle it was the lightest fluffy but with a perfectly golden crispy crunchy crust and the tenders were not tenderloins most serv but no these were BIG strips of chicken breast both tender and moist really recommended I know I will be back as I eyed a awesome ruben going by to another table that I have to try it read more

I would definitely say this has been one of the top culinary experiences in my Dallas adventures. Save room for dessert. We went here for a work event 20+ people full menu ordering- they didn't even blink an eye. Apps - not a bad choice The wood fired snap peas were the winner of the apps that combo was unexpected but a wonderfully executed dish. The spinach artichoke dip was well balanced (so yummy-close second) and those crackers were the star! The brussels were flavor packed and not greasy. The lobster bombs were good, the sauce was clean and superb. I kept it to dip my main courses in. A co worker and I split the chicken melt delicious it needed some sauce (tag in the dipping sauce from the bombs)! I-got the roasted veggie side it was a great pairing. Also the Fish and chips. The fry game is not why you would go to this restaurant. We will omit the description. That fish tho... so good and the tartar sauce well thought out. The true star was the whiskey cake I mean what a way to show off by only having one dessert and absolutely understanding the assignment. Standing ovation. Beautiful bar and decor, fast service and friendly attentive staff. read more

We had a large group for Whiskey Cake. They wouldn't seat us until most of our party arrived. I wonder why that is because if the table is set up already, why not just seat us? Anyway, we all had a good time. The place was packed and the servers still came around often. I had the salad with fried chicken and it was fantastic! The chicken was extremely tender and perfectly crispy. The yogurt vinaigrette dressing was amazing. I want to try to replicate that at home. read more

Whiskey Cake is one of those rare practically perfect restaurants for me. The rustic setting is appealing and comforting. The service is consistently excellent. The wide array of fantastic whiskeys are detrimental only in that you may find yourself indecisive, but if you know what you're looking for you're pretty certain to find it there. And the food! The food is crafted and cooked beautifully and deliciously every single time. There is not a single thing I have tasted at WC that hasn't made me go "damn!" And no visit to WC is complete without eating the actual whiskey cake itself. It's perfection. Pure perfection. Thank God I don't live down the block from here or I would just be eating cake every single day and growing rounder by the minute. read more

My go-to to take out of town visitors. The food is always so reliable--I usually come for brunch, but we got lunch this time & the rigatoni was tasty. But let's not beat around the bush, we're really just here for the whiskey cake. So good, I could eat a whole one by myself if I didn't feel like I'd be judged. ;) Service was also excellent--they even offered to let my friend try a sample of the soup before she ordered it, which was a nice touch. A great place to meet friends & gab. read more

Solid spot with pretty consistent food. I've had their burger and chicken melt before. The chicken melt is solid nothing mind blowing but nothing wrong with it either. The fries with it were soggy though 7/10 The burger was a similar level to the chicken melt 7/10. The whiskey cake is really good with the whipped cream pairing. The sauce drizzle is too sweet so I would ask for less of that but the cake itself is well done. 8.5/10 read more

Went on a Saturday morning with my church group. It was maybe 13 of us so a very large group. We wanted something on the private side so they sat us on the covered out door area. It was a little cold at first but once they turned the overhead heaters on it was nice and toasty. Lourden was our waitress and she did a great job. Our group was in couples so she made sure to get each group name to keep it separate. The food came out in a timely manner. Didn't have to wait long at all. My favorite was the short stack that came with strawberry butter. Very good read more

I have been to Whiskey Cakes before, but this was my first time at this location. Thankfully, we were able to call ahead and get our name on the waiting list because it was pretty crowded. We were seated immediately, we were there for brunch, and I had the breakfast sandwich, which was a bagel with egg, arugula, tomato, peppers and a nice sauce. It normally comes with bacon, but I am a pescatarian, so I don't eat meat. The only reason I gave them a 4 is because if you don't eat meat, there are very few options that meet your dietary restrictions. But my sandwich was super tasty and I would definitely get it again. It also came with fried potatoes that were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed a mimosa flight, it was also enjoyable and they did not skimp on the champagne. My friend got some Brussel sprouts for their appetizer and I tried them and enjoyed them so much that I got myself some to go, they were so good!! We also shared some fried green tomatoes, their sauce for dipping was amazing. Our waiter was also very attentive and checked on us on a regular basis. I enjoyed my experience. read more

Steak frites? Yes please. & that garlic steamed spinach. Heaven. 45 minute wait at lunch without a reservation was completely worth the experience. The staff was knowledgeable & the drinks (espresso martinis) were perfect and foamy. We also tried the candied bacon and deviled eggs - ugh if you had to choose one choose the bacon but honestly don't deny yourself heaven & maybe just do both. Parking is ample and self park. Also has a cute garden upon walk up. Xoxo. read more

The food was nice... nothing really to write home about though... The service is great. The people were friendly. The staff was really nice. The place was really clean.

We have been talking about coming here for at least a year and our schedule is finally permitted for us to enjoy. We arrive on the Thursday night around 5 o'clock and we're surprised to see how busy it was already starting to get. They have a huge selection of bourbons and whiskeys, but also have a huge selection of just general cocktails. I got the mock tail with ginger, pineapple juice, lime, and other items. Definitely was ginger forward, but I really enjoyed it. My friend got the Mocktail called the Ruby slipper and it definitely was an easy drinking beverage on a hot day. I decided to get the chicken melt with the chips. Sourdough bread was really good and the sandwich in general had a great flavor. The chips were definitely the star of the dish. They were perfectly crisp, not too thick and almost just kind of melted in your mouth. I could've easily eat in a bag of them. My friend got the fish and chips. Said the fish was incredibly good super hot when it came out and the french fries had great seasoning. read more

Some of my colleagues and I had eaten at the sister company restaurant Sixty Vines, had heard about Whiskey Cake through the grapevine, and decided to go for lunch. We started by sharing the Thai BBQ Duck Wings along with some Fried Green Tomatoes, which were absolutely tasty, to prepare our tastebuds for our entrees. Okay, I must admit that I thought it read "Thai BBQ Chicken Wings". So, to my surprise, when they came out, I had to grab the menu again and saw I had misread what I ordered. I guess I was busy running my mouth. Nevertheless, they were good. Then I ordered the Fish' N' Chips, which I had to take half home because the fish was so big. It was seasoned just right with just the right amount of crunch. I'm glad we went. However, I'm so mad that I did not get a slice of the "Whiskey Cake" the next time. read more

I had problem with the fries because they tasted burnt so I didn't eat it and also I was not happy with the whisky cake because it was cut piece and not like the previous individual cake they usually served.

---- Critics Review ----- Go!!! Blew me away!! I've heard about this place for over a year... but it's a bit of a drive for me - and totally worth it! I'll be a regular now. Awesome experience at every turn!! Highend Whiskies & Bourbons: - Build your own flight: 4 bourbons out of 5 pages of selections. Awesome!!! My picks: I only saw 1 I wanted to try that I didn't remember.... - Larceny Interesting. Has a somewhat enjoyable flavor at the start, but as it lingers in the pallet, it dissipates fast. Very light on the flavor profile almost muted. No heat in the pallet. Gentle burn in the finish. Boring. (3 out of 10) The manager (Andre - great guy!) came over initially to help me make selections. I told him what I like (low proof, flavor forward, corn / bit sweeter or wheat). And asked him to pick the other 3. - Hancocks Reserve Excellent. Beautiful flavor profile with a few unique aspects. Balanced. Gentle warming, smooth finish. 9 out of 10. - Baker's 7yr Absolutely delicious. Has a hint of sweetness on the nose, but not on the pallet. Very warm going down however it has a good bit of heat in the finish (upper 90's). 7 out of 10. - Kings Country (NY) Almost enjoyable, but the flavors are off. Has absolutely no heat of any kind. Not in the palette or the finish - zero heat. (Yuck) 0 out of 10. Andre came back later and asked how I liked everything. I let him read my notes and strangely he apologized for the 2 I didn't like. I told him it's ok - I enjoyed trying everything. About 10 minutes later he surprised me with a new sample and would not tell me what it was. He and the bartenders had been tasting samples to find something I would love. (Incredible VIP service to a nobody 1st timer.) It blew me away!!! - Mellow Corn Best of the group! Incredibly wonderful flavors that morph and change in the pallet during the finish. Barely detectable heat on the pallet, and a gentle warming in the finish. Absolutely enjoyable. 10 out of 10. (A mash of at least 80 percent corn and aged for four years in a once-used Bourbon barrel. 100 proof, drinks like 80 proof.) Totally ugly label from 1945. GET ONE!! I am!! Food: Excellent! THE DUTCH: Slow braised beef brisket, smoked gouda, caramelized onions & peppers, garlic aioli, bolillo roll. BLEW ME AWAY!! Was 10x better than I expected and I loved it. No brainer - 10 out of 10! Fries: Super salty. Next time I'll ask for no salt. I asked for extra crispy (to snap and be crunchy)... but they were normal and almost limpy. They tasted ok but not for me. Ketchup = gross / more like cocktail sauce for chilled shrimp. (0 out of 10.) I asked for regular ketchup, which they have - and it helped mask the salt and made it more enjoyable. (Definitely ask for normal ketchup!!) Fish & Chips: Excellent. Large portion and perfectly cooked. Crunchy, fully cooked and very moist. 10 out of 10. Server = Emma: Definitely ask for a table in her section. Very happy and it's her mission to be sure you are more than pleased. We asked for salt and ketchup... but it was a packed day and she forgot. As she passed by, she glanced at us and realized she had forgotten. I observed her going around the corner beating herself up for forgetting. I was so impressed with her response I complimented her on it and still gave 20% tip (no penalty!) I'll wait 30 minutes to be in her section next time. She is the best! Manager = Andre A true professional in the food business. I observed him with staff and others. If I owned a restaurant - I would steal him away! Please say hi if you see him. Atmosphere: Perfect. I could hang out there for hours and not even realize it. No one rushed us out on a packed day, it was a gentle pace of service and we had to ask for the check - which to me is the best of the best in practice. (I hate when I'm given a bill before we are ready to leave - tells me 'time is up - get out!') Overall: 10 out of 10.... And I don't give that often (as you followers know). I am telling my personal friends to go - and with me so I can introduce them to Emma & Andre. Can't wait to go back! read more

I don't hand out 5 stars often, but Whiskey Cake absolutely earned it. I ordered the Prime Rib & Gouda Stack--shaved prime rib, gouda, horseradish cream, arugula, pickled onions, marinated tomato, all on a local jalapeño-cheddar sourdough--and let me tell you, this sandwich is top tier. Every bite was packed with flavor, the bread had just the right crunch, and the balance of the creamy gouda with that little kick from the jalapeño bread was perfection. Kevin was our server and deserves a special shoutout. He was knowledgeable about the menu, had great recommendations, and honestly made the whole experience even better. Attentive, friendly, and just a joy to have. For dessert, we couldn't skip their signature Whiskey Cake (because how could you not order the namesake?). Served warm with sweet cream--whew --it was rich, nutty, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Definitely worth saving room for. Between the amazing food, cozy atmosphere, and stellar service, Whiskey Cake is a spot I'll be coming back to again and again. read more
