Friday happy hour was excellent. Sunday brunch was also excellent. Friendly service. Delicious Old Fashions. Cool place.

I absolutely loved every second of my visit. Let's start with Juan- he was so welcoming and knowledgeable. I enjoyed all of his recommendations and can't wait to come back for more. The food and cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced. They have a fantastic happy hour with apps and drink specials. I loved the decor as well as the many seating options both in and outdoors. Leather backed booths, tables to accommodate large parties and bar seating. read more

Went for a Birthday celebration. Had live music. Music was good. Waiter was awesome. Unfortunately the food is not that good, I had fish and chips, the fish was crispy on the outside, but as soon as you cut it, inside was watery. The coleslaw was not to my liking, too sweet. Other guests in the party complained about steak on salad not being cooked right, bacon on sandwich was raw. It seemed for a weekend night, they would have prepared better, it seems it was too much for the kitchen staff to handle. The cocktails were never served in their appropriate glasses, and glasses were 1/2 full. It's a shame that they have good music there, but the poor quality food and drinks, make it not worth going back. read more

I was so happy to see the portion size actually reflects the cost. Every dish my table ordered was a great size. Their sausage gravy on the biscuits were very flavorful. Its hard to find a good sausage gravy. Everything we ate was well flavored. The rye bread was incredible on the reuben. The veggie omelet wasn't runny, and was loaded with fully cooked veggies. Good amount of variations as well. Its a small tight fit in their. They offer high tops, bar seating, tables, & booths. It gets very noisy. They clearly know this due to the sound buffers on the ceiling. They decor is cute and bathrooms very nice. There's not much room for a wheelchair though. The service was very quick and concise. Nice staff who made us feel appreciated. So glad we stumbled across this spot! read more

This is by far the most welcoming restaurant I've been to . Staff particularly the Bartender Kimberly was the most pleasant person iive encounted. The food is over the top. Everything is fresh they don't even have a microwave, which is amazing to me. The ruben sandwich was over the top as was there bacon mac & cheese, homemade infused bourbon as well. Do yourself a favor and stop by here and have lunch or dinner even brunch on a Sunday comfortable clean place with the most friendly staff you've ever meet. read more

One more star than last time. We sat outside for brunch. There was a very talented singer performing. She had a lot of fans there. But it was impossible to converse due to the volume of the music. We were seated during a break or would have requested an inside table. The menu was extensive. I selected two eggs, correctly cooked over medium. They came with 2 sausages, 2 strips of bacon, potato choice and bread choice. My wife ordered an omelet and fruit. My home fries were delicious but the potatoes were undercooked and seasoned with what looked like an eyelash. My wife's omelet contained more bacon than I've ever seen on one plate. The sausages were out of this world - I've never tasted better. But the server got my bread order wrong Servers and kitchen appear overworked. We didn't see much of our server. When it was time for the bill, I was shown a total and a tip screen, no detail. So, a mixed bag. One more star for the sausages. We'll probably wait a while before trying again. read more

This place caught my eye during a day trip to Mount Dora. We stopped in for lunch and chose to sit at their spacious outdoor patio. My husband had the special of the day, which was a bbq burger. I had the fried shrimp sandwich, both of is had a side order of crispy onion rings. Their menu had an extensive selection, and their food was delicious. I noticed that they had a brunch option available as well until 2:00pm The staff was very friendly. I absolutely recommend this restaurant and will eat there again. read more

The food was awesome! Taty, the server, was the WORST. But the music from Brianna Landford was AMAZING! Her and her partner can sing! This made up for our bad experience with Taty. We had to go to the bar to get drinks the whole time we were there. Even when we were closing out, we had to go in to close out! Get rid of Taty, so Bar rescue does not have to come back. read more

This is a nice restaurant outside of the historic downtown Mount Dora Area. It offers various American dishes. My favorites were the ribeye with their whiskey steak glaze and a side of whiskey sugar carrots, their mocktails (I tried the blueberry and strawberry ones) and I also throughly enjoyed the Zeppoli's filled with chocolate and caramel. My husband really enjoyed the beef stew as well. Great space for a date night, friend outing or special occasion read more

Wow. We try and head to Mt Dora every few months for lunch with family and I've passed this place and wondered what it was all about. If I knew what I know now we'd only go to this place. Ever. First off, I love the prices posted for cash payments. I'm a big fan/advocate for cash payments so it feels like this place meshes with my ways nicely. I ordered the breakfast pizza with chicken and it was DELICIOUS. It's not a standard type of pizza, but it was really, really good. It is jam packed with toppings and I took most of it home, no complaints though. It's delicious at room temp too! Mom had a breakfast plate for a very reasonable price, the pancake was really good. The potatoes though... pass. She got the hash browns and they had a really off taste to them. I didn't taste it until we were packing up to go or I would have said something because the flavor of those potatoes was almost bizarrely off, couldn't even work out what was wrong but not good. Anyway, the bacon kind of made up for it. Reba bacon is AMAZING! Maybe try it with home fries instead? My cousin got the salad that had the berries and chicken and it was also really good. The fruit was super fresh and the chicken was delicious. Everything was great (except those hash browns, but easy to adjust for the future). The omelette look great, and I'm looking forward to going back and trying more goodies on the menu! read more

The waitress disappears, goes to the bar, and we don't see her again for almost an hour. We had to go to the bar to get her to order our food. The food is good but it's not worth the wait when you are invisible to the waitress staff. We were the only people in the restaurant as well. read more

Big fan of this establishment. Located in Mt. Dora in a location that has not been kind to the last two occupants, the folks at WK have figured this out. A total rehab and now the building is gorgeous.....well appointed, stylish and inviting along with a huge backyard and attractive front patio. Live music on the weekends outside, an extensive and well varied menu, great craft cocktails and a killer staff. Definitely worth a visit! Check them out....you will not be disappointed! read more

Food was pretty good. I had chicken and waffles, my wife had Eggs Benedict. Everything was okay..nothing really exciting or mind blowing. I guess I expected a little bit more "wow". Our server Ace did a great job and she was very friendly! I imagine this place gets pretty busy at times. Seems like it is a good sports bar vibe. But as far as food, plating and taste...pretty average, not bad mind you, I was just expecting a little more of a wow factor. read more

This place is fantastic! Bartender Kimberly knows how to mix a drink!! Buffalo mac n cheese is made with the best beer cheese we've eaten in a long time. BBQ brisket quesadillas were phenomenal also. We got here at 11am to make sure we missed the crowds. But they have live music in the evenings. read more

Disappointing Again - Not Worth the Price We really wanted to give Whiskey Kitchen another chance after a bad first experience when it first opened, but sadly, nothing has improved. We went on a Saturday night and spent $121.77 (before tip) for food and drinks that were just not good. Portions were small, drinks were poorly made, and the prices are way too high for what you get. As a local, I'm sharing this to help others avoid the same disappointment. This place is simply not worth the money. read more

The wings are pretty big here and good. Best I've had in the greater Orlando area so far

The menu has a little bit of everything so it will be easy to please everyone in the group! Service is always fantastic no matter if you sit inside or out. It's often pretty chilly inside so grab a long sleeve before going in! Outside can get a bit noisy since it is right on the street. Don't let those points sway your mind to try this place out though! Food is fantastic! read more

Good location and nice deck to sit outside but food is below expectations.. Cod sandwhich was just Luke warm under fried cod pieces on a cold untoasted bun and salad dried out as well as coleslaw old. Waitress definitely need some lessons in how to serve and smile. We will not return read more

Ok I'm loving the fact that Mount Dora is expanding the food options. This place is great for dinner lunch and brunch. The service is great, everyone is so nice. If you come on a spring morning and sit outside the vibes with the breeze and the trees is magical. Don't recommend sitting outside at night Mount Dora bugs are a thing ya'll. I mean it's Florida. Recommend the Sunday brunch menu. read more

Great food and live music on patio. We missed thr Sunday brunch by 5 minutes. But the table next to us served it after we were seated. Looked great. A bit pricey. It was not crowed but services was a bit slow. A nice place to go to for a smooth Sunday Afternoon. read more

My favorite restaurant in Mount Dora. Whenever we have out-of-town guests, we take them here. I love the garden pasta with marinara and grilled chicken. Another favorite are the brisket quesadillas. Kaden is one of our favorite waiters. read more

Disappointing date night. Very delayed service, dirty tables and really sucky food. The pizza was burnt , the rueben was made with no love, corned beef was opaque and chewy. Sorry, we love to patronize local restaurants but this did not have any redeeming qualities to come back or to suggest to a friend. read more

I went with a group of 10. My ruben was inedible. It seemed the corned beef came from a can, the meat was shredded and had no taste at all, I couldn't find the kraut or the swiss that was supposed to be there. Another person ordered the same but the corned beef was sliced and was good. The fries were good though. The friend next to me had a 1/2 sanwich that had bread that smelled like it was rancid. Again inedible. Two other friends had gotten soup that was so spicey it was inedible. On a previous visit I ordered the fried fish that came to me raw on the inside. Service was ok, Ambiance was ok. I give this place a negative and will never recommend it. read more

Ok, so normally I would probably have given a lower rating, but this place just opened up, so I'm giving them a little benefit of the doubt here. The restaurant looks great from the outside. The inside is average. Atmosphere was decent. We were seated almost immediately but were told the kitchen was shut down temporarily and we'd have to wait 20 minutes to order. We're not in a rush and it's newly opened so I get it. Not a problem. I ordered the chicken strips and my wife ordered a burger. Both came with fries. The chicken strips were overcooked and tough. Not much breading whatsoever. My wife's burger was good but she didn't care for the bun as it had a somewhat sweet taste. That's just a personal preference. Some people may like it sweet. But we were really excited about the house made fries. We almost ordered them as an appetizer but decided against it since they came with our meals. Man were we disappointed. The fries we received should have never made it out of the kitchen. They were barely warm and extremely limp. When you pick up a fry it should not just bendin two on its own. Extremely undercooked. It was very disappointing. The star of our visit and another reason I didn't rate lower was our waitress. She was fantastic. Great communicator, checked on us often and very friendly. She is probably the reason we'll give this place another try. Hopefully they iron out the kinks and I'll be sure to try again sometime and give an update. read more

We had a waitress that took our order and she never came back to see if we needed another drink etc. We waited 45 minutes! We saw her flitting around talking to other customers, looking at her phone. I finally got up and told her we were frustrated. She said "this isn't McDonalds". Gave me a death stare and stormed off! Our food was cold and not good. will never go back. Also she had a cut on her hand and there was blood on my husbands beer! read more

Came for Football Sunday Brunch! Plenty of TVs in the bar area playing the games. The brunch menu had a lot of options, the chicken fried steak, omelet, and steak and eggs were all great.

Service was great! Meghan juggled a large table of 14 people next to us and still made us feel important. My choice was the oatmeal with no fruit - the bowl is huge and priced at $4, it was fresh and did not seem to be reheated from the previous day. I also ordered the "not that hungry" which consisted of eggs, hash browns and choice of bread. My over easy eggs were perfect and the hash browns were nicely browned. I chose the biscuit and it was not a typical southern biscuit but tasted homemade. My breakfast was 5 stars. My husband chose chicken and waffles. The chicken was chicken strips in a bland batter and the waffles dry, the presentation was poor for a dish that is famous for being sweet and savory it was very lacking. The bourbon maple syrup was excellent!! It was clean and the atmosphere was lively, liked the decor as well. We plan on trying the lunch menu soon. read more

My wife and I discovered this place a few months ago. It is now our go to place after Mass on Sunday mornings. The staff is so nice, the food is great and the ambiance couldn't be any better. We will be trying Whiskey River for lunch and/or dinner soon and I'm sure the experience will be just as enjoyable. I wish I could give it a higher rating than 5!!! read more

Shouldn't post a review, keep it a local secret. But, it is an amazingly good restaurant. The food has not once been bad, always exceeded my expectations. You can sit inside where it's is a little more upscale or outside where it's like an Italian street cafe. The prices are good. If you've ever live have family or friends visiting and you kinda want to escape downtown but still get that Mount Dora small town feel. I highly recommend the Whiskey Kitchen!! read more

Took a long time to get waited on. Nachos are small, hardly shareable, and toppings are scarce. Deception is not appreciated. The pork chop is listed on the menu as being "topped with bacon jam". When the waitress took my order, she asked if I wanted the bacon jam on top. I said yes. When the bill came, I was charged $3.18. Very deceptive. Waitress should reveal additional cost items, especially when menu advertises the item as "topped with" without using words like "optional" or "choice of". The food was good, but there are other places to eat with good food that treat their customers better than this. if it wasn't for the food being good, I would've given only one star. read more

The food was Fantastic, the service was great, especially Michael, who's also the bartender. The place is very warm and cozy inside. Overall a very pleasant evening. Will be going back there often. read more

My wife and I wanted something different for our Friday night going out and said let's give it a try. The restaurant filled up very quickly but we did get booth. The server was very sweet. We started with the Irish Nachos as an appetizer. They were thinly sliced potatoes covered with cheese and bacon. We were surprised of the portion size. It was quite small. Thought should have been warned knowing it will be for two. It was tasty though. My wife to get a Long Island Ice Tea but in a tall glass with light mix. It came in a small thin glass. For $13 could have at least in a bigger glass. Dinner was garlic Parmesan Wings. They baked them first then fried them. Dusted with Parmesan. It was very good, but the garlic was in the bottom of the bowl. I didn't know until putting the leftover wings in a to go box. Was also surprise they added a 4% surcharge for using debit/credit card. Not sure if I would go back. read more
