One of those times was to a teen who has ARFID. There is no way olive burger even came out of our mouths accidently while ordering because we all hate olives. Bartenders/servers are just plain unfriendly, to the point of being rude, even when ordering ice water. Everyone has bad days, but even on my worst days I would never treat any customer like we have been treated. I wish the best to everyone who attends & hope you actually get the food you order. ARFID is so difficult, but even more so I hope someone with an actual food allergy will be listened to, fully comprehended, & get what they actually order for their health. The locals are just plain rude as the night progresses. If you are not part of the usual crowd, be prepared for people to be confrontational & rude, even if you are sober & just a friendly, decent human. While we will never attend or order take-out from this local bar & grill again, I hope everyone else gets what they actually order from a bartender/server who actually listens, is kind, & friendly even on their worst days.

We were on a road trip and stopped on a Wednesday around 4 pm. It was pretty busy because they were…read morehosting a party on the patio, so we sat in the bar. It took forever to get service! The tables around us that sat after us were waited upon pretty quick. The young guy that finally came to our table seemed like it was his first day. He knew little about the menu and barely talked. Anyways, we ordered a flatbread pizza and the cream cheese olive burger. It took a while to get the food, but it was good. The burger was cooked well and had a lot of toppings. The fries were tasty and crispy. Overall, it was ok. I'd like to go back just to give it another shot.

Went for burgers on a Friday night. We specifically asked our waitress if they made burgers medium…read morerare and she said "yes, she would put it on the ticket". Both of our burgers came out well done. When I told the waitress that they were well done, she said "well I put it on the ticket" and walked away. I tried to take another bite but it really was way overdone and for me it was not worth eating (my husband ate his and said even though it was way overcooked he was too hungry to not eat it). Next time the waitress came around my husband flagged her down and told her that my burger was much worse than his and I really couldn't eat it. She said she would take it off the check , but didn't ask if I would like anything else or have it re-made. Luckily I had ordered a side salad and ended up just having that and eating something else once I got home.

Service was slow and we were the only people there other than a few guys at the bar, on a Thursday night! That should have clued us in right there. We finally got our drinks and all we could hear was the waitstaff and MANAGER gossiping. My husband sat with an empty drink for 10+ min. Finally we get our food and I got the chicken alfredo and my husband the chicken melt. The chicken in the alfredo was gummy, definitely frozen and possibly boiled by the texture. I like aldente, but this pasta was raw and the alfredo sauce itself was broken. I never send food back, but even I sent this back. Waitress took it to the kitchen and they said that is how it always is made. The bread stick was smoking hot where i couldnt touch it but the dish was ice cold. I expect more from a $20 dish. My husband's $15 tender melt was made from bottom of the line frozen chicken, like think of the stuff they slapped on our plates while in elementary school. Cheese wasn't fully melted, but he said the fries were alright. We had to get our own Ketchup and ranch for his stuff from the salad bar because the waitress never came back. When she brought us our bill with some of the stuff taken off, she did ask if we wanted to

Each pour was expertly selected and served with a wealth of knowledge from the bartender, who was clearly passionate about their craft. In addition to the impressive drink menu, also offered a mouthwatering selection of bar bites and comfort food. I indulged in their famous whiskey-glazed wings and loaded tater tots, which were the perfect accompaniment to my drinks. The live music added to the vibrant energy of the bar, creating a lively and entertaining atmosphere. The crowd was diverse and welcoming, making it easy to strike up a conversation with fellow patrons. Overall, my experience at The Whiskey Barrel was nothing short of fantastic. From the top-notch drinks and delicious food to the friendly staff and lively ambiance, this American bar truly exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning soon to enjoy more of what this gem has to offer.

But in all seriousness, it's my favorite bar in the Austin/Mapleview area. This bar is everything you could ever want in a small town dive. It's delightfully unpretentious, they have cheap strong drinks, welcoming folks, Heggies pizza and free popcorn and peanuts. Sometimes there's a crockpot full of mystery food and you're welcome to help yourself. Buy a handful of pull tabs, belly up and down a few cold ones. You can day-drink here with abandon and without shame, and I guarantee you won't be the drunkest person in the joint. There's a great old Grain Belt mural out back and a vintage neon sign in front, very Instagrammable.
