    The chicken nachos and my fries
    Keshia C.

    I went and meet some girlfriends to eat and talk. We sat outside but it was pretty cool despite it being 80 degrees. We order a few items and mostly talked. My burger was just ok and they ate a few of the nachos but chips part was tasty.

    To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report an incident that occurred on May 6, 2026, between approximately 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM at your Hoover, Alabama location at 5250 Peridot Place, Hoover, AL 35226. I visited Big Whiskey's with my fiancée, my service dog, my mother, my sister, and her fiancé. Upon arrival, we requested outdoor seating due to my service dog. The manager shown in the attached photo directed us to a table outside; however, the seating area placed us directly in the rain. When we expressed concern about being seated in an area exposed to the rain, we were told we had to remain there because the seating arrangement was specifically for a party of six. At the time, the patio was otherwise empty, so it was confusing and frustrating that no alternative accommodation was offered. My mother then asked to speak with the general manager, but the request was denied without explanation. At that point, I began recording the interaction, which is when the attached photo was taken. After I started recording, the manager became increasingly aggressive, got in my mother's face, and began yelling. The situation escalated to the point where my brother-in-law and I had to step in to separate everyone and attempt to calm the situation. During the confrontation, the manager repeatedly put his hands on members of our group, invaded our personal space, and used extremely inappropriate language toward us. This behavior was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. What makes this especially disappointing is that Big Whiskey's has always been one of my favorite restaurants. I am also a public social media influencer with a large audience, and while I have video evidence of this incident that could easily be shared publicly, that is not my intention. My goal is simply to ensure this situation is taken seriously and addressed appropriately so that neither I nor any other customer has to experience treatment like this again. I would appreciate hearing from someone regarding how this matter will be handled. If no action is taken, I will have to consider sharing my experience publicly along with the video evidence. I look forward to your response.

    BOURBON GLAZED SALMON

    There were a lot of people waiting to be seated. We were told 35 min but it only took about 15. Food came out quick and server was very attentive. Ordered Salmon with a loaded potato and broccoli. I wish the bourbon was a tad bit thicker but the taste was amazing. Side note I LOVE their ranch

    BUFFALO RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICH
    Rachel J.

    I came here for a end of year lunch with my team from work. We got there at 11:30 and there was nobody here which was great so we were seated immediately. Our waiter was great and made some great recommendations for the table since it was a lot our first time eating here. The buffalo ranch chicken sandwich was tasty. Great casual dining spot for a group, date night or solo.

    Great spot for quick lunch break or watching sports with friends. The food was not bad. I had the cauliflower buffalo wings- they were good. Margaritas were great! Our server Drew was absolutely amazing! Very personable. Made you feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable of the menu.

    I went to Big Whiskey for the 1st time and I definitely will be back. We sat at 1 of the tables in the bar area and had the amazing server Riley. He gave us the 411 of their biggggg menu. We arrived at 240pm and wanted a drink but he suggested we wait til happy hour that started at 3pm. At 2:55pm he came back and got our drink order...he remembered while I totally forgot lol. The food was so freakin goooooood! Everything came out hot and fresh. The manger came around and greeted everyone . Did I say I'll be back....heck I might go back TODAY Riley also suggested we download their app to get a free appetizer on our next visit andddd to earn points for discounts/free menu items. GO BIG WHISKEYYYY!!!

    My wife and I came for a game day, and have found our new go to! Their domestic beer specials on game days are awesome during the day. The management is super friendly and attentive. The service all around was great. We stayed for hours! Also they are super dog friendly!!!

    Chicken Fingers tossed in Honey Siracha sauce with Fries( Tenders and Fries was very good)
    Rachel R.

    My review has nothing to do with the food and everything to do with customer service. I always come here and from the greeter to the food is amazing but thanks to rude Samatha at the door she has completely ruined it. When we walked in Samantha was not welcoming or friendly at all. I get it was crowded but my husband is a combat veteran that deals with PTSD and we were trying to sit over to the side in a booth that wasn't being used. I get that the booth was for a party of 4 but not being used but simply saying hey let me talk with my manger to see if we can accommodate you to me would've been a nicer way to handle someone who has served our country. Thanks Stephanie for being rude and inconsiderate you representing Big Whiskey's in an unprofessional manner.

    Had a great lunch at Big Whiskey's. There is so much on the menu that looks great. We sat in the bar area and had outstanding service. We tried the triple dip and subbed the salsa out for the regular queso. The queso, spinach queso and buffalo dip were all great and full of flavor. I had the traditional wings and BW fries. I had the BW original buffalo which is a hot honey mixed with buffalo sauce. This was some of the best flavor I have had on wings. My wife and daughter shared the Cajun Coastal Combo and loved it. I also tried the BW smoked old fashioned and it was made perfectly. The smoke was just right and the flavor was spot on. We had a great lunch!

    This is 100% a chain I would categorize like an Applebees. We came in for a drink. Bar sticky not clean. Bartenders friendly enough. Didn't try the food went somewhere else. They did have a whiskey tap which was cool.

    Also had the pretzel and beer cheese as an appetizer, which was probably the best pretzel/dip combo I've ever had.

    Sloan's Bourbon Bar never misses. The night I went, they were hosting a WhistlePig tasting, and it…read morewas such a great experience. I ordered the featured Old Fashioned for the evening along with a WhistlePig flight, both were excellent. The Old Fashioned was smooth, balanced, and exactly what a bourbon lover hopes for. One thing I really appreciate about Sloan's is that they host tastings almost weekly (or very often), and they're great about posting details on their social media so you always know what's coming up. It makes the experience feel curated and intentional. The service is always amazing; knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about bourbon. And the atmosphere? Grown and sophisticated. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a business meet-up, or just a refined night out if you appreciate a good pour. If you love bourbon and want a polished, elevated experience in Birmingham, Sloan's is the place

    I'm a bit torn because I felt this place was great but my fellow revelers (aka my husband and…read moreinlaws) felt the service was off. For my part, I thought the cocktail I had was fantastic. My husband and FIL liked theirs too. My MIL felt there was barely any alcohol in hers but I cannot confirm. We did have a hiccup with the bill being completely wrong (and we were overcharged twice) but it was all settled. There were not very many people at the bar for a Friday night. But perhaps it's a more late(r) night place. We are all geriatric in our party (sort of). I didn't mind and it seemed to be picking up when we were leaving. Overall decent, but maybe I miss Pale Eddie's just a bit.
