I had a great experience at Whiskey Cake! Celebrated a friend's birthday during the holidays. Our group was huge, they sat us at a high table in the middle of the place, it was a great vantage point to the kitchen area. It was chaotic but exciting. Our waiter was phenomenal although I cannot remember his name unfortunately. We tried all kinds of things on the menu! Such a flavorful and unique menu. I got the salmon dish. It was a tad overcooked but I still enjoyed it. Overall enjoyed my time here, would definitely recommend! Oh yeah, they have valet! The parking lot is ginormous so plan accordingly lol read more

Came for lunch. I love the Cellar/ distillery style decor. Very cozy The restaurant is rather large and was quite empty when we came for lunch. Maybe the staff had a lot of ground to cover but our server was a bit slow. Everything we ate was delicious. Deviled eggs. Brussel sprouts. French onion burger. Chopped chicken salad. Whiskey cake. All of it came to about $80 before tip. I would definitely come back read more

I came back to update my review as I've been back to here to Whiskey Cake 2 additional times and have been THOROUGHLY pleased with the amazing food and service! Most recently I returned for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday and we both enjoyed the amazing food, delicious pressed juice flight, and top notch service!!! Shame on me for not remembering our servers name (blame perimenopause!!!), but the Seattle native made the lunch magnifique!! I really LOVED the pressed juice flight!! I am a huge fan of pressed juice, but always have a hard time selecting just one. This allowed me to sample them all and find a new favorite! All were good in their own right, but my list from #1 down: Little Pink Drink, Ruby Slipper, Jessica Wabbit, and Hulk. I had the hummus for appetizer (again) and loved it just the same!! Went for the combo of chicken chopped salad and turkey chili and was perfectly satisfied for a lunch portion. I actually couldn't finish!! Surprised the birthday girl with a whiskey cake and ice cream - yum. Yum. YUM! Will definitely have to make another visit sooner than later!! Whiskey Cake is knocking it out of the park!! read more

Got to visit whiskey cake with my family for the first time to celebrate Mother's Day early. We went for brunch. Since it was still early there was plenty of parking, especially since it is a mall parking lot. We had a reservation for 1015 and the place already seemed full. I really enjoyed how the restaurant looked on the inside, especially the bar area. I went for the brunch sandwich to eat. The sandwich was good, but very sloppy. It fell apart as I was eating it. I wish the bagel had more flavor. The potatoes that came with it were great. I definitely plan to make it back to try their lunch or dinner menu. read more

Very quick wait time, attentive waitress. Ambiance is nice, cool set up. The food was mostly good- fun flavor combos. The mimosa wasn't great though it's almost like the juice or the champagne had gone bad- but - overall it wasn't a big deal and I still drank it. Would like to come back and try other things! read more

I cannot count how many birthday dinners and brunches I have celebrated at Whiskey Cake and that alone tells you everything. This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. The atmosphere is chic and industrial with a bar that feels like a cross between the Beauty and the Beast library and a Hemingway era study. Edison bulbs antique furniture and warm wood tones make it feel like you have stepped into another time. Every table is candle lit which instantly creates a cozy old world vibe that never misses. The food always delivers and it is rarely the same twice. Our server shared that the menu changes about once a month and many ingredients are farm to table and locally sourced. You can taste the difference and I love that it supports the community. We started with the deviled eggs which were exactly how a deviled egg should be. Creamy balanced and topped with a small frite that adds the perfect salty crunch. I ordered the Guava Gimlet and it was spectacular. Bright citrusy and tropical all at once. A true gem. I had the fish and chips and they were everything I hoped for. Fresh buttery fish in a beautiful beer batter with lemon and malt vinegar. Crispy well seasoned fries sealed the deal. My husband had the salmon with mushrooms greens and a creamy sauce that completely elevated the dish. The real star is the Whiskey Cake. Always available and always unforgettable. Texture flavor lighting and yes even a little drama. I cannot recommend this place enough and I hope you love it as much as we do. read more

Happy New Year my fellow Yelpers... Right before Christmas, my wife and I were at La Cantera to get some last minute shopping done. After all of our shopping was done, our stomachs began to grumble. I looked at the options around, browsed menus, and Whiskey Cake looked like a delicious option. Whilst on my walk to the restaurant, I ran into my sister and brother in law, and encouraged them to join. We all walked in and were seated right away. A very modern looking restaurant and bar with a somewhat rustic appeal. We were seated and handed menus. The friendly waitress asked if we had been there before to which we stated we had not. She enthusiastically explained the menu, explained their ingredients, then took our drink orders. We perused the menu while drinks were being fetched. Looking over the menu I saw many different delicious options and had a hard time picking something. Then, my selection jumped out at me. I am a huge fan of chicken and waffles, and there it was on the menu. Looking around a saw other diners eating it and it looked amazing. The waitress came back and we ordered. My brother in law opted for the chicken melt sandwich, my sister pancakes, my wife a breakfast dish, and me chicken and waffles. We all had a nice visit while we waited on our food. I was very excited for mine. In good time, our food arrived. All of the dishes looked amazing. The chicken melt looked huge, the pancakes looked amazing, the breakfast dish looked nice, and my chicken and waffles looked like they could be one of those pretty pictures in a magazine of food that is picture perfect. My brother in law was very quiet and scarfed his down. No complaints. My sister enjoyed her pancakes, but was not a fan of the super thick and super dense texture. The pancakes were a good half inch thick each. My wife said hers was just your basic breakfast dish with no complaints. She was not a fan of the chicken sausage. Now for mine, I was absolutely satisfied. Every bite was amazing. The chicken was juicy and crispy, and the waffle offset the saltiness with maple sweetness. The savory gravy was also delicious and I kept alternating between the sweet syrup with the hearty gravy. Every single bite was amazing. This now is my favorite chicken and waffle dish I have ever had in my life. It took me a while, but I polished my plate clean. I was absolutely, positively, amazed and stuffed. We paid our bill and were gone in good time. Great food, great company, and a great day. Could not ask for more! I highly recommend Whiskey Cake, and will be back. In the meantime, I will have pictures of their chicken and waffles dancing in my head in my dreams. I want it again very soon. Enjoy! read more

Whiskey Cake - Chicken and Waffle - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Came here mainly for the whiskey cake, but also got an order of the fried green tomatoes. Didn't get any other food, but the whiskey cake is definitely the star of the show here. The fried green tomatoes were overpriced and tasted like normal tomatoes that had breading--nothing special. I would definitely skip this item. The whiskey cake was super moist and decadent. It's definitely made for sharing. Service was friendly but since it was busy that night, the waiter did take a while to come back around to check on the table. I also liked the dimmed lighting that night, which added to the overall ambiance. read more

If we lived closer this restaurant would be a problem. We really enjoyed the food, ambiance and service was okay. We ordered a couple of non-spirited drinks, too much food for one dining experience, and carried homes lots of leftovers. Well I finished my left overs for dinner . We started our tastebud experience with their cinnamon roll with roasted pecans. D*** just the best we've ever tasted so far in the US. Our entrees were fish and chips plus the prime rib and Gouda. As I stated earlier we carried out "doggy" bags. You can look at the pictures for the massiveness that was the food on our plates. My eyes got big as they walked near our table. I guess they really do everything BIG in Texas. Come hungry, leave too full for comfort and take home the rest for the next day or later that evening. We will definitely return! read more

Super service on a Sunday! The food was really excellent and the deviled eggs you must try those.... No rubbery texture is delicious filling and they changed with the menu.

First time at Whiskey Cake and it did NOT disappoint! It has over 2k reviews on Yelp alone and now I know why. The ambiance and aesthetic is very "Texas" country chic with a side of "neat". Everything whiskey (duh) from their repurposed whiskey bottle candles to a vast wall of whiskey and liquor options! Very tasteful interior design and service was wonderful. Best of all, their food is delightful! I had a half Reuben with house chips and a cup of baked potato soup. Wow! Chef's kiss!! 10/10 recommend everything! Of course we ordered the whiskey cake but before that to start we ordered the hummus and an order of fries!! Ugh! So yummy!! We enjoyed and finished EVERYTHING! Highly highly recommend! read more

Five of us Waited a half hour for my cocktail. Asked. Didn't come They said there was a large party and the bartender was backed up. Food was good. I loved the snap peas with whipped ricotta.

We went on a FRI with coworkers during lunch time; didn't take long for them to seat us. Our waitress, Randy, was very attentive to us and kind to us. The place was clean and offered a nice ambiance. I split 1/2 of my chicken melt with a coworker and she gave me 1/2 her tavern burger. I really liked the Mac n cheese. We ended with splitting their famous whiskey cake with a side of ice cream which was good as well. Seems like a nice place for a first date or just to go and chill with your friends. read more

This was our very first visit, and WOW we were blown away! From the moment we sat down, our server Ale (Alejandra) made us feel right at home. She learned it was our first time and gave us amazing recommendations - dishes that are customer favorites as well as some drink suggestions. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made the experience memorable. For food: * I ordered the rotisserie chicken (her top recommendation), and it was fantastic! When the first plate came out looking a little too charbroiled, Ale didn't hesitate, she immediately had the kitchen make a new one, saying she wouldn't serve it unless it was up to her standards. That kind of care really stood out. * My husband had the prime rib sandwich with a side of mac & cheese - hearty, flavorful, and filling. * My son enjoyed the chicken and waffles, which were cooked perfectly and came out golden and crisp. For drinks & dessert: I had an espresso martini, and honestly, it was one of the best I've ever had! Smooth, rich, and balanced - highly recommend it. My husband went with a light beer, which paired nicely with his sandwich. To top it all off, Ale surprised us with the famous whiskey cake - and it was absolutely delicious! The perfect sweet ending to a great meal. The combination of great food, delicious drinks, and an outstanding server like Ale made this such a positive dining experience. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. This spot is officially on our "must revisit" list! Highly recommend - ask for Ale if you get the chance! read more

It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of eating at Whiskey Cake. My server was Emily and she was excellent. All my needs were taken care of. The place is very cool as well with the nice decor. I got the new on the menu Prime Rib and Gouda sandwich with fries($24.99).The prime rib sandwich was delicious. I removed the onions and added pickles. It is a big sandwich and the fries were perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend leaving room for the whiskey cake dessert. It's a phenomenal ending to any meal you have at Whiskey Cake. I highly recommend eating at Whiskey Cake the next time you're at the Rim. read more

Cool, hip and great food! It took us awhile to get it this place because of all the construction and not being from SA. But, worth it! It smelled wonderful walking in and very laid back chic country decor. Our server was so nice, great customer service and happy to hear she will move into management! I ordered the Wood reserve old fashion. Coolest thing ever to see and nice tasting cocktail. We shared the charred Brussels sprouts for an appetizer- so good! For dinner I split the fish and chips With my daughter- good thing that piece of ish was huge! Hubby had steak frites with chimmichurri sauce, which looked amazing. We finished it off with Whiskey cake... OMG I should have had that as a starter!! Between three of us ...we still couldn't finish. Can I take that dessert back to Cali?...please!! Bonus...this place is attached to an outdoor mall...so you can walk off some of that goodness and not feel so guilty. We will return and next time... cake and cocktail first. :-) read more

I was in town for the holidays and wanted to have dinner with some friends and this was a great pick. While the goat cheese fondue wasn't what I was thinking it would be, it was still amazing. The ranch dressing that was served with the fries was so good. The hummus was a little bland. I probably wouldn't get that again. I really enjoyed the rueben and my friends liked their sandwiches. The rum punch was my favorite cocktail out of what we got. Do yourself a favor and save room for the whiskey cake. Make sure you get the homemade whipped cream. It was very good. The service was good. Even though they were busy our server was very attentive. Even though my friends were late for our reservation time, they still held our table. On a busy Friday night, I was sure we would get bumped to the end of the line. I would definitely return. read more

Food and ambiance was amazing. Atty was our server, she was the sweetest and attentive.

I'll be honest, I didn't think this place would rule as much as it did. However, this place in fact is so good. Our server was an incredible girl who gave great recommendations. We started with the crab fritters and two drinks. The drinks were strong but tasty, so I was one and done but not in the way where I know I'll have a headache after. The fritters were good but next time I'd probably go for the fried green tomatoes! The entrees were magic, I had the fish and chips and it was so flavorful and delicious. I recently was in the PNW and this fish and chips definitely gives them a run for their money! My husband had the Steak frites which he generally orders at restaurants here in town but he had a lot of good things to say about his steak here. The whiskey cake itself I wasn't going to order but my husband insisted we try it and it was honestly the best choice. I can't even describe how incredible it was, from the vanilla ice cream, to the homemade whip creme??? And the cake itself was warm and moist? Ugh! I'll be thinking about it for days. I'd definitely recommend anyone in the area to try Whiskey Cake! read more

First timers. Came here not knowing they had a brunch menu. The wife was excited to try their regular menu so she was very happy when they said they could make more than just the brunch items. App: we ordered the local goat cheese fondue - delicious and super hot (they prep it fresh with the oil at the table) oil quality was top tier Drinks: French pressed coffee (10/10) The Great Escape (6/10) Wife said not sweet or much alcohol in the drink The Select (WC) Whiskey Flight ($30) was awesome (10/10) Food: The Farmer's Breakfast (12/10) I loved every component. Eggs were perfect. The home made biscuits, jam, and chicken sausage were unique & delicious. Millionare Bacon strip was short lived as we inhaled it + wished there was more. Steak Frites - not on the Brunch menu and was worth the price tag. Steak was cooked exactly how we asked (med rare) and very tender. Paired well with the chimichurri & fries. The cup of Chili - my goodness, almost took the best item of the menu that we tried. (12/10) Dessert: "the one and only" whiskey cake. Awesome awesome awesome. Definitely get the scoop of ice cream with it. (We were only offered vanilla but we've seen videos on social media w/ strawberry so you may be offered something we weren't) Decor was very nice and modern and homie with great views as it's above the rest of the shopping district. Big shout out to our server Iris as we were not originally spoken to for almost 10-15 minutes after being seated and she went out of her way to take care of our table the whole meal. She was sweet, funny, knowledgable about the menu and made our first experience here forever memorable. We will definitely be coming back but we will also definitely be on the look out to have her as our server again. Plenty of seating for waiting inside to beat the heat, clean bathrooms, and plenty of parking right outside of the restaurant. read more

I gave the food score a 4 just because there wasn't a huge entree selection. I guess sometimes you're hungrier than normal and might want a heavier entree, that's all. But the food is definitely delicious. Omg, the whiskey cake is to die for!!! Last night, we had the deviled eggs and the goat cheese fondue (not pictured) which were both really good. The deviled eggs were a bit slippery but still pretty good. For my entree, I had the French onion burger with the mac and cheese. I like the spicy mac & cheese but they don't have it so I asked for a side of jalapeños. Previously, I've had the rueben which is really good as well. The staff are always so attentive and helpful and very friendly! I love the vibe here too. Parking can be a bit difficult but there's plenty of it, you just have to walk further. read more

We haven't been here in many years and thought we'd try it for a graduation celebration..we were a party of 8 on a Tuesday night and the place has a really cool vibe when you walk in...However, our experience was mediocre, which was completely unexpected given all the nice reviews. It took a while for the waiter to come over and greet us. He was nice, but not very attentive throughout the evening. When we dine at higher priced restaurants, we at least expect to be checked on a few minutes after the food gets there to make sure it came out right. He never did that and we had to flag him down to get some things missing. Also, one hamburger came out medium rare and it was ordered with no pink...that was not edible and we didn't have a chance to have the waiter rectify, since he never checked in. Half of us liked our meals and the other half ranged from inedible to ok. The cocktails were beautiful and delicious! They did bring a slice of cake and everyone loved it. Hopefully, our experience was an anomaly, but we won't be back to find out. read more

Great spot for date night. Husband ordered fish and chips and I was jealous. The fish was huge, juicy and so so flavorful. My steak frites dish was somewhat of a let down because the steak was tough and not seasoned enough for my liking and I didn't enjoy all the peppers mixed in with my fries, would've rather had more fries instead.

(AUGUST 2025) First you will do a stair climber exercise to get to the restaurant if you parked on the lower level parking lot like us. This will come in handy when you decide to get a slice of whiskey cake later. I felt like Rocky Balboa once I got to the top and the building was like a mecca of achievement with the Sun beaming and everything. Upon entry, almost every decoration in this restaurant incorporate live plants or herbs. The interior was like a cross between a whiskey distillery and your living room. While we waited for the host, I ate one piece of Slo Poke caramel candies for the first time and grabbed a few more because they were so good! The bar wall here is SICK! It was like a candy store for alcohol. I think whatever drink you wanted, they could make it! The lights from the ceiling were encased in ropes which was pretty cool. At our table was a light bulb filled with water that housed live rosemary. My bestie ordered candied bacon. When I bit down into it, it was still warm and sort of melted in my mouth in a savory sweet bliss. I ordered a crispy chicken salad instead of chicken and waffles because I really wanted to try the chicken which did not disappoint. It was well seasoned and perfectly crisp. The Speakeasy Margarita I ordered had me speechless. It was probably only the second drink during my 5 day visit in San Antonio that had actual alcohol I could taste in it. And it was Grand Marnier at that so a perfect way to end my trip! And now for the REAL reason for the visit, The Whiskey Cake. When our waitress sat it down, I snapped several pictures of its diabetical glory. Our waitress even gave me more house made whipped cream to add to my A1C. Each bite was rich. With each bite you could taste every bit of it - candied spiced nuts, the whiskey in the toffee sauce and your A1C shooting up! I left the bowl of whipped cream on the table. What was on the cake already was enough for me. I ended up taking my cake home but would love to be WHISKEYED away back to Whiskey Cake! read more

Our server Dan was AWESOME! So attentive and kind, plus he was willing to make recommendations on the menu for people whom it was their first time. Dessert is a MUST! Our cocktails were spectacular, and the only thing that we (my fiancé and I) felt could've had more love is the shrimp pasta. Kind of boring and the sauce resembled salsa to him. Our appetizers were fantastic though, the bacon and goat cheese. Anyways, give Dan a raise, and lots of praise! read more

Came to Whiskey Cake as soon as we landed in San Antonio. We are visiting from Florida to meet my sister's husband's family and this is where my sister and her husband suggested we meet for lunch. We started with the grilled snap peas (sounds boring, but they were unique and INCREDIBLE) followed by the chicken and cheese sandwich, kale salad, brussel sprouts (unbelievable) and charred vegetables (mediocre - not enough variety of vegetables and lacking flavor). We topped off the meal with the legendary Whiskey Cake which, by and far, stole the show. Would strongly recommend starting your next meal here with the whiskey cake and then ordering your entree. Our server was Destiny and she was an absolute pleasure. Hope to have her again! read more

Ambience 4/5: I removed one star because of the seating as we were close enough to reach over to our neighbors and take a bite from their plates. Service 5/5: our server was friendly , professional and checked on us throughout our brunch. Food 4/5: I ordered the crab Bennie and my wife got the Croque madam. Overall my dish was good though the eggs were slightly over poached and the crab cakes more doughy from all the bread crumbs. Fruit reminded me of a cafeteria fruit cup. Come on surely there's better fruit choices instead of grapes and apple chunks but that's my opinion. I would return but would try something different (pancakes or French toast?) read more

First timer and will be back. My nephew who's in medical school in San Antonio and took us there. I was originally going to try their pork chop but they sold out. Well that's what I'll try next time. Instead I had the rotisserie chicken vegetables and Mac n cheese. Let's just say, total winner. My wife and sister-in-law had the same. My nephew had the Rigatoni. No disappointed faces at our table. The ambience is really nice even though we came during the day. read more

Nice place with pretty interior, good food, drinks and service. On a Friday night there was a 45 min wait but we were able to instead get a reservation for 8:30 and arrived for the reservation time. Ordered a smoked chicken salad and the French dip sandwich with fries (smoked tri tip dip). The fries are amazing! The salad was a little heavy on the dressing but otherwise awesome with fresh bacon, grilled chicken, avocado and a boiled egg; will just get the dressing on the side next time. They also have a good amount of non alcoholic, juice type drinks (Ruby slippers was delicious) in addition to their whiskey bar, beer and wine selection. Nice old fashioned! read more

Whiskey Cake - Grilled chicken salad - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My first time at this location and we came with a party of 15 for a birthday party. We had a reservation for 6:30PM and we all showed up on time but we were not seated until 45 minutes later since there was 1 table that was just sitting in the middle of the row of tables that were reserved for us. Outside of this hickup of having to wait even though we were on time, the service went well. Our server was on top of bringing us what we needed and asked for- plus taking our orders. Everything here was good- I got my usual Chicken and waffles and it was just as good as I remember! Though I think the chicken tenders were alittle small but they were still good and the eggs were moist! I got their whiskey cake and it was so good! I love it and enjoy it every time. I'd definitely come back again if I'm in the area and I'm so glad that Houston has a whiskey cake also for me to go to instead of having to travel to San Antonio. read more
