ive been a couple times but after today i felt like this place def deserved a review. I love whiskey kitchen I've been w my family multiple times and gone by myself a couple too. They have great new beers and really really good fried pickles. The service today was by far the best service I have ever received. I ordered a Tuna burger, something I literally never order as I am very picky with fish but wanted to try something new (I am very big on texture and I frequently can't eat it not due to taste but texture) I didn't quite enjoy it for said texture (taste was great again tuna is just not my thing I think) they realized this, took it off my bill entirely and I believe it was the owner or chef came up and asked if I would like something complementary instead. They even wrote me an apology note (again NOT their fault at all it was delicious). I have been there twice this week and both times the food tasted fresh and amazing and it was genuinely the sweetest nicest interaction I have had to date at a restaurant ever and I'll absolutely be coming back. read more

Whiskey Kitchen has quickly become one of my favorite spots. After my first visit, I've already been back once or twice and grabbed a seat at the bar for dinner -- and it did not disappoint. The service has been consistently good, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. It has that perfect neighborhood vibe where you feel comfortable settling in for a great meal. And I have to say -- the chicken sandwich is probably the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and just the right balance of crispy and juicy. I'll absolutely be ordering it again. This is definitely going to be a neighborhood staple for me moving forward. Highly recommend! read more

The tuna burger with sweet potato fries were delicious! The tuna burger was nicely seasoned and cooked. The sweet potato fries were perfectly done too, not too crispy and not too soft, yum! I went here because I was in the area for a Yelp event. Someone familiar with the area recommended The Whiskey Kitchen. Apparently they have a cool happy hour. From the outside I was worried I was underdressed so I decided to order dinner to go. But once in there I realized it's fancy but super chill vibes inside. Staff were so so sweet! Parking is easy. Place is huge. I'd go back if I'm in the area . It was an overall yummy dinner and relaxed atmosphere and experience. read more

The Whiskey Kitchen - Tuna burger - Gastropubs Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

There is a reason why we are regulars here. Sure the vibe, great food, drinks etc but there are times when things get mixed up. Wrong order, food is slightly off or whatever it may be. We had a tiny slip tonight, but the way it was handled, the grace and desire to make it right...made it even more solidified. We really appreciate the hospitality and approach taken, even with something small. Thank you for being great! read more

The salmon is always so good. Two martinis with dinner ( during happy hour ) were $30.00. Ask prices before you order

I've had dinner here several times and it's been solid every time. The burger is the go to but the grilled chicken maple sandwich is actually better. Something else they really do well is the tuna steak. Either in a sandwich or platter. The bar area is popular and a gift choice to catch a game and a couple drinks. The staff is always great. Going out to dinner isn't cheap and the local food tax is ridiculous but I can tell they are trying to keep it priced reasonably. read more

Last night was the third time I have been to Whisky Kitchen on General Booth Blvd in Virginia Beach. I had the flounder with green beans and Cole slaw. The flounder was saturated in grease, so that's all I tasted. Coating had no flavor. The green beans had no seasonings. The coleslaw had no coleslaw dressing at all, just shredded cabbage. The previous times I have been there I had fish and chips. Blah, greasy. how can I taste the flavor of the food with all that grease. My friend that I was with loved his burger. I won't be going back. Three strikes they're out. For great food, I would recommend Courthouse Cafe in Great Bridge. Wish they had a location in my area. read more

My wife and I usually go to Whisky Kitchen on the weekends. It's a great relaxing place with great food and a great selections of beers. Staff is friendly and service is great! read more

Amazing food, great drinks and some real great staff! Worth the drive from Great Bridge.

Stopped in with my family for lunch. Nice looking place on the inside with several lunch options. I thought the food was OK. The burger was very bland and overall, everyone just said it was OK. I did get to try funnel cake fries, where were pretty tasty! Would I go back? I'm honestly not sure. read more

I like this place. Open, airy, clean, very helpful wait staff. The fish and chips were ok, but it was the star of the show was the steak bites appetizer. I believe next visit I will just order a couple of those and be done. Recommend. read more

Food, service, ambiance were all great! Man's Best Friend drink was yummy! We all enjoyed our meals! 3 of us got the Chimichurri steak and it was very good! Tuna burger, chili, Margherita pizza, Citrus Salmon all good! But Steak Frites wasn't the best. Everything else though, perfect! read more

We decided to get dinner at WK. We were seated right away which was surprising as the parking lot was packed. I thought, wow, we got lucky. Sat us down near the hostess station. Waited for more than ten minutes and not a single server acknowledged us, even though several servers walked by to other tables. No offer for a drink, and none of the pleasantries that are normal for a nicer scale restaurant. Three different servers walked by us to check on their customers but no one said a word. I kept making eye contact with the hostess that sat us down right away but no reaction from her. Three gentlemen sat down at the booth next to our table and within one minute a server was there to take their drink orders. Their drinks came and I thought for sure someone will come by our table. No luck. We finally got up and left. Our hostess said laughingly "thank you for coming". Very disappointing experience. read more

The food was great and the service was quick! Our waiter, Josh, was super kind and made sure to check on us often.

It was my second time at this restaurant, the first visit we were about 20 people. With a party that big the service was pretty good the food arrived fast the servers were attentive so that was great. The food was pretty good everyone really enjoyed what they had. I agreed to check out a second time with some friends to see how the service would change from a 20 person party to a 3. The server was prompt with the drinks, we offered three different dishes and asked if they could all be split because we were all going to share they did just that the food was really good. The place had a lot natural lighting so if you're looking for dim this is not the place but they do have booth's, I like booths. Overall good experience will be back especially for that Rockefeller chicken sandwich and spicy ranch. read more

We were in the Oceana area of Virginia Beach recently and we decided to stop by The Whiskey Kitchen, just off General Booth Boulevard. I really like this place. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering, always a good thing. The food is consistently good and they have a lot of offerings on their menu for just about every craving. Admittedly, I'm a burger person and they make a good one here. It's a thick patty cook to your perfect temperature and served piping hot. Whether you like a great burger or something more adventurous like Buffalo Cauliflower(highly recommended) they really do have something for everyone. read more

The parking is insufficient and is blocked on one end, nearly impossible to turn a pickup truck around if you get stuck. We had to park in the lot next door. Ambiance is nice. The outdoor dining was sufficient and cut the wait time by 30 minutes. The wife had the Chicken Rockefeller and it was good. My Whisky Burger was tasty, but cooked well done when I specifically asked for medium. The street corn side was very good. Our waitress was very pleasant, especially on a busy night. read more

I've always enjoyed dining here. have done on several occasions. I enjoy especially the patio in summer. The salad I had: classic Caesar was perfect. The food servers have always been very nice and not too pushy. once my steak came out lukewarm so I sent it back. chef came out to apologize and sent an entire new steak properly prepared, and comped half the meal. there were two f us with drinks si we're not a chesp datw. now that's a Chef who knows how to run La Cucina. read more

My daughter and I came here on a Thursday evening for an early dinner. They were not busy so we scored a nice booth immediately. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. This was both our first time so we needed more time figuring out what we wanted. She ordered the cauliflower bites appetizer and the beet salad. She was happy with both. I opted for the veggie pizza with cauliflower crust. It was delicious! Everything was great here. The service was great. The decor was appealing and welcoming. The food was very tasty. They even have mocktails. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. read more

Great experience all around! The service was super friendly and helpful. My boyfriend got the fish and chips and liked them a lot. I had the smothered shrimp -- so good! I also have a gluten allergy, and they were really careful and accommodating, which I really appreciated. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Friday Night Meetup with the ladies!! Good size group! Service was okay! The place was very busy it's Friday after work of course it's busy! People love happy hour. I missed that I arrived right when it ended 6pm. Decided to try the Whisky Burger which I was told they are know for! Let's just say I wasn't impressed. The burger was cold the cheese wasn't melted at all I removed the cheese very easily! I believe the burger was a frozen patty not 100% sure buttttttt pretty sure it was. I believe it was supposed to have some sort of sauce on it, but that was missing. The best part of the burger was the onion strings or straws whatever you would like to call them. The fries were cold as well! I will say the manager was walking thru and one of my friends at the table directed him my way I shared with him my thoughts on the burger. He did offer to cook another one I refused because then everyone else would be done with their food while I would be waiting for mine. The meal was taken off my bill thank you for that. Honestly I don't think I would go back! This was my second trip there and the first one wasn't a good experience either! read more

Everything was absolutely amazing! They have so many options for whatever you're craving. Our waitress Malika was an absolutely joy!

The Whiskey Kitchen is a decent, american food joint. We came on a super busy night (the Monday after Christmas) where people were getting 30 minute wait times. There weren't many other options open in the area, so we waited. It ended up being a bit shorter than that. We were optimistic because of how busy it was. All of the food at the tables looked good. We were sat at a booth in the dining room, where our server took good care of us. She obviously had a large number of tables but was very friendly. For appetizers, we tried the pretzel with beer cheese and the buffalo cauliflower. The cauliflower was the best thing we ordered by far. If I came again, I would get it as my entree. Really, it would be the only thing we come back for. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was good, as well, but not my favorite ever. Fries were served cold and the short rib entree was presented sadly. Again, nothing was bad, just not memorable! read more

I met a friend here for dinner....she picked the place. They do have a parking lot so parking is easy. We went during the week right after 5. It was definitely getting busy. I was seated right away and my friend showed up shortly afterwards. Service was friendly. I did have to ask about HH because that is why I was there. I didn't really see any signage for HH but I could have missed it. We split the Buffalo Cauliflower which was delicious. I could have eaten the whole plate myself. We drank wine and my friend ordered a dinner. She liked her dinner and she recommended several things from the menu. I chose to not have anything else. This restaurant isn't convenient for me but if a friend suggested it, I would go back. I didn't really try a lot of things on the menu but the cauliflower was good. read more

First time here and the food was good, no complaints here. Not crowded on a Saturday afternoon, food came out relatively quickly. I had the shrimp n grits and hubby had the steak frites. The flat iron steak was cooked well, he ordered it med rare but I think it came out medium which was fine as it was still pretty juicy and tasty. He definitely wished he knew the sauce would be all over the fries as he would have ordered it on the side. The grits were very creamy and the shrimp had a good amount of Cajun seasoning...almost too much but not inedible. Service was attentive and polite. read more

A friend and I ventured out to General Booth Blvd to check out a few shops. I recommended we have lunch at The Whiskey Kitchen since I have eaten there a couple of years ago. We were greeted at the door and given a choice of seating which was very comfortable. The menu, while not extensive, has something for everyone. We each chose a burger and fries. I know, my cholesterol was happy again. Our server was amazing. She was attentive without being overbearing. Our burgers were delicious. They were flavorful, hot, juicy, and cooked as ordered. The fries, which I seriously try not to indulge in, were delicious. I ate over half the large portion. Another positive point was the pricing. You honestly can't go get a decent burger and fries at a fast food joint for the same price. Of course leaving a nice gratuity ups the price but it is well worth it. The restroom was very clean. That is a requirement of mine. I will not return to a place that has a nasty restroom. We both enjoyed our lunch and I will be making the 20+ mile ride again soon to have another burger AND fries. read more

Steak was perfectly prepared! I got chimichurri steak and husband got steak fries. We both got medium and they were perfectly prepared! The steak was so tender and juicy, the flavor was spot on. I'm glad we were in the area and got to try this place out. Definitely recommend! read more

Whiskey Kitchen has been around for years. We have come here from the start. We usually go for dinner but recently we went for lunch. Really great service. Never once did I have to ask for a refill. Drinks just showed up. Best service I have had in a while. Fast and friendly. Food was great like always. I do love their fries. Chicken salad wrap was good. My niece got the Whisky Burger. The bacon was perfect, the fried onions ontop were crisp snd tasty, and the burger was cooked to perfection. Whiskey kitchen for the WIN They have lovely seating outside as well as high top seating, bar seating, and booth seating inside. Pretty inside with the dark wood tables and mostly painted black walls and ceiling. You should see the menu for the beer on tap. EXCELLENT. They have a great whiskey menu with lots to choose from 5 star for sure read more

I've visited The Whiskey Kitchen only a few times but the last time I went, I had the Sesame Ginger Tuna salad and I was hooked ever since so when I was craving a salad this week, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Thankfully, there was no wait (perks of going out to eat during the week lol) so we were able to walk right in and get a table. Since I was really hungry, we ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower Bites as an appetizer and they were really delicious. I loved how big the chunks of cauliflower were and the Buffalo sauce wasn't too spicy at all. It's served with two types of dips, one was the blue cheese dressing and I'm not sure which the other was but both were very good. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Salad Wrap which he said could've used more flavor but I ordered the Sesame Ginger Tuna salad which was superb. I was thankful that the waiter asked how I liked my tuna cooked instead of just assuming how I wanted it and I did order it Medium cooked. The salad is served with the sesame ginger dressing on the side which I love but I did need extra because the one wasn't quite enough. Overall, I love the vibe of Whiskey Kitchen and their staff is very friendly. The next time I go, I'm going to try something new on the menu but if you are looking for a great salad, please head over to Whiskey Kitchen. You will not be disappointed. read more

My husband and I finally managed to try Whiskey Kitchen after several attempts. This time, although there was a small wait of about 30 minutes, it wasn't overwhelming like before. The restaurant is cozy with a decent mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Our waitress was friendly but a bit slow, leading to long waits for things like straws and our food. We noticed that other tables seated after us got their meals faster. We ordered the Whiskey Burger and the Tuna Burger, both with Spicy Cajun Fries. The fries were amazing. The Whiskey Burger was good but nothing special--ideal for those who like classic burgers. The Tuna Burger had bold flavors but was a bit too intense with the ginger and wasabi aioli. I ordered it rare, but it came out medium rare. Overall, Whiskey Kitchen was a decent experience. It didn't wow me, but I'd be open to trying more items from their extensive menu if I were with friends. read more

I visited here around 8pm on a Sunday evening with a friend. The ambiance was nice. There wasn't many people present. There is a full bar and many beer options. The waitress came over a couple minutes later after being seated in a booth and took our drink order. We both got waters. While reviewing the menu, I noticed two bbq sauces, one is the house and the other is Korean. The waitress had trouble verbalizing the differences, so she brought out both to taste. They were both delicious. I ordered boneless Korean bbq wings as an appetizer. I was going to get baby back ribs as an entree but waitress stated that they ran out of ribs. I ended getting shrimp and grits instead. My friend got chicken tenders and fries. The order was placed around 8:12pm. The appetizer came around 8:25pm. The wings were somewhat overcooked. It was hard to stick fork in it. I also noticed that bbq sauce didn't entirely cover most of the wings. The entrees came around 8:30pm. The timing between the two was very minimum. My shrimp and grits were on the warmer side than hot. It was delicious to me. However, there want much food for it be $24. There were a lot of toppings, which was fine for me. However, it could be overpowering for others. Overall, the experience was okay. We were out by 8:50pm. Maybe the mediocre experience was due to them about to close at 9? However, that shouldn't dictate the service given to customers, in my opinion. I'm interested in trying the ribs, so I would come back for that. I would've enjoyed the boneless wings more had they not been over cooked. I wish my shrimp & grits were more. It wasn't very filling, to me. The staff was super friendly and nice. I assume it was a slow day as I overheard staff discussing how little people made that day. As I was leaving, I noticed they do have outside seating. read more
