Great place to hang out and have a drink and some good-tasting burgers! The restaurant is pet friendly and accommodating to our Yorkies. Upon sitting outside on the tabletop table, our server immediately greeted us with water for our pups (nice touch). We ordered the Korean BBQ Ribs as an appetizer but the hero of our visit was the Whiskey Burger. The burger comes with cheddar, WK bbq, bacon, and lettuce, tomato, and onion straws. The WK BBQ is amazing! This is one of the best burgers, really juicy and great tasting. One of the best in town! I recommend stopping here when in town. read more

Went for lunch and enjoyed an amazing chicken sandwich after having some of the best fried pickles I've ever had. Service was fast and friendly. The hostess was super kind to see my mom struggled with walking so she sat as close as possible so mom didn't have to walk far. Highly recommend you try this place out. read more

I can hardly believe that I have been a patron on this place since it opened!!! Here we are 11 years later and they have never disappointed me ! Locals choice for the best food and premiere service, cheers to another 11 years !! read more

My newest favorite! I am not sure why this place isn't always packed. The choice of food and the taste of each selection is awesome. The service the first time we went was exceptional. The second time was a little slow but still good. I also loved the atmosphere of sitting outside under the umbrellas. We only discovered Whiskey Kitchen because our usual place was super busy but WHAT A FIND. read more

Amazing food, drinks, and staff! Love the environment and we've always had a great experience here!

Very nice and enjoyable. Food was above average. Prices were great. Service was excellent. I had a custom made burger with blue cheese and onion straws. It was a perfect medium rare. Restaurant was clean and inviting. I would definitely go back. read more

Restaurant was very clean, practicing COVID protocol. We started off with the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer. I wish the pretzel was warmer, it felt like it was sitting around waiting to be served. My husband ordered steak salad. The steak was cooked as he ordered, generous portion, he ate every bite. I ordered a green salad and added chicken. The mustard vinaigrette dressing was delicious. Their happy hour is great. $2 off beer, wine and wells. read more

2.5 at best I'd say. But rather more like a two. This is mostly due to service and partially the food. I was excited initially since by name I know they have something I want from the get go. Unfortunately I sat at the bar. Service was spotty and at times non existent. I waited to get a drink refill at all for long periods at a time while other customers at the bar next to me are checked on multiple times, and bartenders proceed to chat it up with their friends who are sitting at the other end of the bar. I had ordered a beet salad, veggie chili, and the parmesan cauliflower bites. The beet salad was good, decently balanced as far as ingredients but a tad small. The veggie chili was okay. It felt thrown together and not hearty like you'd normally want for chili being slightly cold. The parmesan cauliflower had promise. The cauliflower itself was well cooked and at least retained some crunch. Issue being the rest of it. Certainly not enough parmesan cheese, there was too much of the red sauce since it was more liquid than flavor, and the pesto while it helped the flavor a little couldn't save the day. It became mush overall quite quickly. I'd suggest having the sauce on the side if you decide to try it out. Maybe it was just me but I'd certainly not come back again though to be treated in such a manner. read more

Very busy place on a Friday evening. Service for our table of 4 was very prompt, and the food was pretty good. All in all, it was a good experience. We'll definitely visit again when in town. read more

I recently came here with my boyfriend and we are considering coming back. The menu was creative, the restaurant looked amazing, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Soooo... haven't been to WK since 2016! Then, my experiences were mixed, but overwhelmingly positive. However; none of those visits stood out like this one! The bartender aka Makayla!!!! LET ME TELL YOU: she was the bestest of the best. The queen of this castle, the bees knees, the top Dawg! (Better than any UGA player), the pinnacle of great service, effortlessly commanding the space to foster an amazing experience for myself and my partner. Food: Still good. Add'l: Kudos to the entire entourage for running a smooth ship filled with deliciousness, good smells, and an inviting ambiance. I'll be back next week! read more

The food is absolutely delicious! We loved the buffalo cauliflower bites the most. The service was a little slow but we didn't mind since we didn't have anywhere to be. The ambiance was very restaurant-esque so nothing quirky but a solid place to get lunch. Will return! read more

Outrageously good food, drinks, and service for 7 of us on a Saturday night. The peach basil bourbon cocktail was perfectly balanced, the summer old fashioned was (to quote my sister), "Oh my God. Perfection." There are not enough adjectives to describe how good the Salmon Romesco was. The building looks like a converted warehouse with large industrial fans so it's fairly loud but it wasn't overwhelming. Highly HIGHLY recommend. read more

The food was delicious! The service was GREAT! The menu had one of my favorite dishes- shrimp and grits! More than enough to eat, actually had left overs! There is a parking lot so no worries on parking. A variety of meals were ordered and everyone was happy with their meal. I'd go back the next time I'm in the area. read more

I loved how lively the place was. It was upbeat and loud which tells you everyone is enjoying themselves. I did like how we could call in for the waiting list. When we arrived, we waited a very short time. Very friendly staff. The food wasn't too bad and the service started out great, but over time the service started to deminish. I'm not sure if it was due to being busy or too many tables for one waiter, but we waited on items we requested and had to remind our waiter. Will try the place out again, but would hope the service gets better. I'm rating this place a 3.5 in hopes service improves. read more

Natasha was our waitress (I think). That's the name that was on the receipt. Anyway, she was fantastic. The food was amazing too. I got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and my husband got the chicken Rockefeller with house chips. We got the pretzel with beer cheese as the starter. It was SO DELICIOUS. Would definitely recommend this place, from the service to the food. Everything was on point. We'll be back for sure. read more

My boyfriend took me here for date night. They have their own parking lot, so you don't have to worry about parking on the street. For our appetizer we got the spring rolls; they were so delicious. I had the short rib and my boyfriend had the whiskey burger. We both enjoyed our entrees and everything came out hot! Only complaint we had is that the water tasted off and the lemonade was watery. Other than that, we enjoyed our time at Whiskey Kitchen! read more

The space is cute indoor and outdoor. The beer selection a amazing! I would strongly suggest the beer chicken entree and the pot pie! They were both delicious! If you are going get a beer flight! Lastly take some beer home with you! We had a great time and the service was good. Due to Covid, outdoor seating is self serve at the bar, but you can get a server inside at a seated table. read more

Overpriced and the food was not that good. Service was excellent. Place was very loud.

Not sure where all of these great reviews are coming from. we went, it was basic. good server, but the menu was not very wow worthy. we ordered crispy pickle spears for 10 bucks and literally got 5 pickle spears so like 2 dollars a spear.? I mean I know inflation, but that was sad. this place is always packed so I'm assuming its for the drinks. Won't be returning. 3 stars is only for the cleanliness and server. read more

Their wings are the best in Va Beach. Hands down. I has their sesame seed oil wings. The manager actually gave me mines for free just to taste them. Absolutely killer. They were so good I forgot what I actually had for dinner there. A+ for their wings read more

I love this restaurant. The atmosphere and decor is so nice. It's like industrial downtown vibe. Me and my mom came here twice during our VA beach trip. Both times we got the nachos which are delicious!!! I can't wait to go back and get some more. My mom got the pesto pizza which was very tasty. The staff there and manager are great, even in the busyness of it all. I had an issue with my entree the first night and they went out of their way to make sure everything was right and that we were satisfied. And oh yeah I ordered key lime pie for dessert, it was goood and tasted homemadeDefinitely a go to restaurant!! read more

I'm all about eating local and fresh. This establishment has been around since 2014. In the strawbridge shopping center, along general booth is known for their local brews. They have an extensive menu of craft taps and craft bottles. I'm sure they also are known for their whiskey! Why else would they call this place whiskey kitchen. It is my second time visiting here. For the those who need to watch their sports, the tvs surround the place. My chive dressing I had with my salad was on point. I've never had a chive dressing before but I fell in love. The kids burgers are pretty good of a size. I would order it myself. There was a lot for them to eat. I ordered salad. The salad has mixed greens, charred red pepper, cucumber and carrots shreds. The croutons are homemade. I got the mans best friend and bold rock from Nellysford, va. I enjoy the modern rustic interior. The walls decked in Brick with and large wooden table and booth seatings to accommodate big size groups. I enjoyed the high top booth seatings and steel chairs. I love that they stand by their motto of being "locally/brewed/grown/owned" read more

Service was excellent! Cauliflower Buffalo bites with bleu cheese was a hit even not liking cauliflower. Salads were big and added seared tuna that was very fresh. Summer drink menu is extensive and A Mans Best Friend with bourbon wasn't overly sweet and really was refreshing. We will return for dinner! read more

Service was great but the food wasn't. Greasy. I felt gross after leaving. Ambiance is expected. Kind of a sports bar restaurant mix inside. Overall just disappointed for a place that locals seem to flock to. Feels like the hype is because it's in a convenient location. read more

Fantastic waiter. Good food. Appetizers & salad were fresh and tasted great. Waiter asked if we were from out of town & gave us lots of great advice to where else to try while we are visiting. read more

Good food. Good choices. Good service. Ample portions are given. Food is very tasty. Atmosphere is very nice.

Had enough of seafood over the past couple meals, thought it time to go a little off the beaten "seafood" path. Scoured Yelp to find something different and came across The Whiskey Kitchen. I was not disappointed. The decor is casual and clean. The variety of seats would satisfy any occasion large or small. Started with the cauliflower buffalo bites, terrific! Continued on with a pizza and split the Cal- Burger. Though not a burger person by design, it was very good. (Many gluten-free choices for those of that preference.) Our server, Kaylee was absolutely terrific in her service, suggestions, and overall demeanor. If you're not in the mood for seafood, try WK. read more

Updating from 3 to 5 stars! Whiskey Kitchen is located in the shopping center where Regal Strawbridge theater is. You can't miss it. Great service! Lots of beer and drink options! Too many to mention but definitely a good place for anyone who enjoys a good beer or cocktail. Even BETTER food!!! My go-to goodies from WK?! The Korean Short Rib app. Definitely the Tuna Bites. And their salads are so big and delicious. My favorite is the Spinach salad with strawberries, goat cheese, candied pecans, and I add salmon to it. It's crazy good!! I always recommend Whiskey Kitchen to friends looking for places in the Red Mill/ Strawbridge area. You should definitely check them out. Their salads and sandwiches are hearty, and their full entrees are so tasty. Pricing is about average, and everything you get is going to be worth what you pay. I highly recommend.
