My husband and I had a pretty early flight back home and weren't quite ready for our vacation to end yet, so we stopped by Whisky River for a couple of pre-flight cocktails. The bartender wasn't friendly, per se, but he was pretty fast and efficient. He was working alone, taking breakfast orders and mixing drinks, and his performance was admirable, but I was not a fan of some of his time-saving tactics. I watched him stir drinks with the nozzle of the soda dispenser. You know, the "spray gun" used to top your drink off with soda water or Sprite? He dipped that into the drink and swirled, rather than just grabbing a stir stick or using a new, clean straw to do so. I ordered the Goin' Down South, which is made with Bulleit Bourbon, honey and lemonade. It was good. Tasted so nice that I ordered it twice! After that, I was nice and relaxed for the flight. We had eaten that morning before we left the hotel, but several of the menu offerings were tempting. Whisky Wings, Quesadillas, Burgers...everything sounded really good. This was a nice stop-over spot for us to relax after the chaos of check-in and TSA. We sat, enjoyed our drinks and some television, had time to visit the nearby restrooms and refill our water bottles at the "filling station". It was near our gate. Great location!
We had a delayed SW fight at FLL and decided to get something for dinner. Whisky River sounded appealing so we stopped in. We were seated right away and quickly approached by 2 different servers. They had an extensive beer and cocktail menu, (especially whiskies.). I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband just had a Diet Coke. The menu was full of appetizers, sandwiches, and burgers. We decided to share the Texas Tequila Bacon Cheese Burger with fries. It was $17.89, (a little pricey but that's to be expected at an airport.). It was actually quite big and very tasty. Both of us really liked it; plus the fries were good too. The service was fast and we were in and out in about 40 minutes. (We are fast eaters.). As airport restaurants and bars go; this place is definitely better than most. Good food and good service is always a plus when starting a vacation....,I would definitely recommend Whisky River if you have some time to kill in Terminal 1 of FLL.
On this trip the bartender asked if we wanted doubles because they were 50% off. Well, obviously. The food is ok, there are definitely worse places to eat and drink in the airport. We ordered chips and queso which were a good salty snack to go with the pre-flight doubles.
Amazing food and fast service. I actually reinstalled yelp to do this review as everything we tried here while waiting for southwest was outstanding. The brisket cheese sandwich incredibly think and perfect brisket. The quesadilla also was equally amazing with their custom recipe sour cream and guacamole. Wife had the buffalo chicken and it was fantastic too. Had to wait for table 5-10 is only thing as the hostess/waitress had a lot of tables she was juggling. Waiter was super friendly Rene
Restaurant is located inside the airport by gate B. Very cool decor. I can't get over the wall of belt buckels. It's such a unique touch to the western theme. Love the use of wood and cowhide. They get three stars only because they don't serve drinks until 8:00am. My flight leaves at 6:50 so my hangover must wait a little longer. We didn't get food this time around. I only had cranberry juice. The staff was polite and fast to greet us. Over nice place to hang while we waited.
While waiting for our flight to board we stopped at Whisky River for a quick bite. We ordered the chips & dips to share and I ordered the mushroom burger. The food was your standard burger and didn't come with any sauce. Without sauce I would say the bread was dry but once I added ketchup it helped the burger. Service: it took us a while to get seated but once we were service was quick and our server was friendly. Ambiance: I would say this was your standard airport restaurant. Loud next to a boarding gate but comfortable.
What we ordered: * Chips and dips * Beer - Sierra Nevada Hazy * Texas Tequila Bacon Cheddar Burger Service * Our was very quick and attentive. * Remembered our order * Was slow to get seated but understandable in an airport Ambience * Loud with noise from nearby gates * What you expect at an airport * Sound from bar and TVs Overall an ok experience. The chips and dip were maybe the highlight with the burger lacking a bit of moisture in the bread. The fries were very fresh and tasty.
Located in the Fort Lauderdale airport in concourse B, Whiskey River was convenient given our departure gate. Food: Worst burger I've had since the high school cafeteria. Paddy was dry, tasted like ground beef mixed with sawdust. Als, the paddy not fully warmed. Simply bad. Service: Sat at the bar and the bartender was fantastic Drinks: Good craft beer on tap Overall ambiance: Country-like theme in the airport
This is located on Fort Lauderdale airport. This place is getting 3 stars for the beer and service from bartender. 1 star for the food. Stay away from pulled pork and burgers. I saw a salad come out for another guest and it looked good which gave me high hopes for the burger, but alas no. Service: we sat at the bar because we had a tight connection. The host was nowhere to be found to seat us so we went straight to the bar. We ordered to go and the food was out in less than 5 minutes and the chef forgot but our bartender brought us to go containers but we had time so we quickly ate. Food: the pulled pork sandwich tasted like sloppy Joe's but it was way better than my husband burger where the patty looked like a hockey puck and the size of one too. The pickles on my pulled pork were very good and crunchy. The bun was good but too much bun to pork ratio and it needed to be toasted. 18% Gratuity is automatically added. Come here for the beer only, skip the food.
Went here while waiting on my flight. Glass of red wine was good and served quickly. Was really busy but was taking care of just as fast as everyone else.

Super cute bar. Loved the belt buckle display and cow print decor. Didn't eat ... just got a pre-flight beverage. Shout out to my bartender, Solomon, who was quick, friendly, and accommodating. Airports do NOT hesitate to knock a hole in your head with these prices! I spent TWO TIMES the amount for a double shot of Tito's then I woulda spent for a whole bottle in my neighborhood! YIKES! Also, soooo disliking this automatic gratuity/service fee. IMHO, a $4 tip for less than 2 minutes of service is diabolical. *Sigh* Just an observation because I came. I saw. I conquered. read more

Overpriced and mediocre airport food. It took a long time to get seated. You order online using the QR code and took a while before my tiny burger with side coleslaw came out. The server did not bring water until asked. read more

Flying home! Breakfast is good but not cheap, drinks are cold but again not cheap. On your way out of town bring your life savings because breakfast and mimosas will cost you and your significant other $100.00 Service was good though, but it ain't cheap ! read more

Quick, easy, delicious. Only had 30 minutes before I had to hop on my flight back home and Whiskey River was right by our gate so we gave it a try. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Great service! Plenty of open seating. Limited menu but great choices. We chose the teriyaki salmon with rice and broccoli and it was all very good. It was very easy to order through the website and the food came out really really fast. I couldn't believe we had an entire hot meal in such a short amount of time. Paying was a breeze which we also did online. Even my 6-year-old ate the broccoli and she's a tough critic. I'm glad we tried to Whiskey River. read more

We had twenty minutes. We immediately looked at the menu and right up front we were ready. If you are in a hurry, make it clear. We asked the server if we could get fries and a quesadilla in twenty minutes. He said yes. When he first greeted us at our table we ordered our drinks and our food all at once and told him we had 20 minutes. The shredded chicken quesadillas and the french fries were both great and they put them in to go containers and gave us to go drinks as well. When he brought the food we requested the check. Cons- there is a scan thing you were supposed to use at the table to order and cash out and we could not make it work so we had to make sure the server helped us with all of it. One server was covering a huge area. The food was great and he totally helped us in the very best way he could. If you have some time to blow I think it's a great place to do so. Just don't expect everything to be in a big rush unless you state your expectations that you have your stuff together as well. read more
