This place is very nice with a high-end but very relaxed atmosphere. I had a crispy chicken sandwich (sub honey mustard), which may have been the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Even the rum punch was next level. Our server was super nice and very helpful. She said she was new, but she was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered every one of our ridiculous questions. My sister and I split their infamous whiskey cake which was a very generous portion. Good God that thing is good! Can't wait to come back with my husband to try the fish and chips. read more

Whiskey Cake has genuinely good vibes -- warm, lively, and a little rustic in the best way. It's the kind of place where you settle in and instantly feel like you're in for a cozy meal. The famous whiskey cake itself is a calorie‑loaded situation, but honestly... worth it. Sweet, rich, warm, and absolutely designed to make you forget every intention you had of "just taking one bite." Overall, a fun spot with solid food, friendly energy, and a dessert that knows exactly how to steal the show. read more

Everything was divine at Whiskey Cake. I was skeptical going in just cause it felt so cliche being in Texas, but my meal was so delicious. We had a reservation and were sat right on time. I had the Wood Grilled Salmon -- together with the potatoes, mushrooms, and leeks with chowder broth, it was amazing. Our server was attentive and definitely knew how to offer us all of their best options and upgrades. We had a great experience and enjoyed our time at Whiskey Cake! read more

Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar - Comfort, Cocktails, and a Sweet Finish A quick stop in Fort Worth to visit friends during our six-week road trip led us here, and it turned into one of those "glad we chose this place" kind of nights. The space is large, comfortable, and full of life, even on a Wednesday evening. There are cozy sofa corners if you want something a little more intimate, plus an outdoor area that's "outside"... but not too outside, which honestly feels like a win. Drinks were a highlight. My boulevardier was spot on, and then I shared a smoked Old Fashioned with my friend that was just... exquisite. Smooth, balanced, and a little dramatic in the best way. Food held its own. The chicken and waffles were delicious, the chopped chicken salad was fresh and satisfying, and my friend's Reuben got a lot of love from her side of the table. And then came dessert. We shared the Whiskey Cake with praline ice cream, and let's just say, it lives up to the name. Decadent, rich, and absolutely worth it. Service was really good. Attentive without hovering, and thoughtful in those small ways that stand out. At one point, our server split the Old Fashioned for us without us even asking. That kind of anticipation earns points. This is the kind of place you return to when you're back in town. Comfortable, reliable, and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat. read more

Fantastic happy hour! There is a Whiskey Cake in Jacksonville so visiting one and another city wasn't top of my list however on Cinco de Mayo when the Mexican restaurant next-door is over a two hour wait I figured I'd stop in to Whiskey Cake for a margarita. I am so glad I stopped in the happy hour was happening and so I was able to grab a seat at the bar and get a margarita for $7!!! Well if I'm being honest, technically I got two margaritas for that price! The service was wonderful. I came about 15 minutes before happy hour was over and the server came around and double checked on everyone in her section prior to happy hour being over and let them know it was coming close to being over so we could put our last orders in! Well, I might not have gotten the quesadilla. I want it. I am really happy that I was able to get a margarita on Cinco de Mayo thank you Whiskey Cake! read more

Went there this morning for Mother's Day Brunch. We had a 9:00 reservation and we were seated immediately. The Ambiance was great - really hip and cool. Lots of space. The food was great - I had excellent Fish & Chips, my wife had the Black Forest French Toast (like a dessert!) and the kids had Chicken Waffles. And my Cold Fashion was to die for! We drew the short straw and didn't get the best waitress. We had to ask for water and didn't get the extras that came with the meal (no malt vinegar for F&C, not hot honey for waffles) but that was an anomaly as I watched the other wait staff being quite attenative to their tables and them getting all the fixin's. We will go back and give it another shot. read more

Not my first time at Whiskey Cake. But don't think I've ever had dinner here. BUSY on a weeknight, but looks like mainly company hosted guests. Got the steak tips (can't remember the exact wording) - medium rare. A little over $30. comes with fries, some peppers. It was good but don't think it was anything out of the world. It was pretty filling with the fries. Standard entree at an American restaurant. The whiskey cake! It was moist! I don't know if I tasted the whiskey exactly, but a little. read more

Service was quick, and the atmosphere was exactly what you'd hope for. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations. The candied bacon was overwhelmingly salty and completely missed the mark. The bowl of chili was also disappointing--Tabasco was the only flavor that really came through. Ironically, the best part of the meal was the crackers served with the chili. They were the highlight of the dish and honestly helped bring my overall rating up to three stars. read more

If I'm being completely honest, I would go hear and get a piece of Whiskey Cake EVERYDAY if I wasn't worried about my sugar intake. The restaurant is named after it for a reason. This visit we didn't get any entrees or drinks we were there for the cake. We don't have one in our state so we were ECSTATIC to find out there were a few in the metroplex area. We did go 2 out of our 4 days there. Just get the cake, ask for a middle piece. Everything is locally sourced and the whipped cream is made fresh and you can tell. Every bite is heaven. The slices are pretty big so 2 of us share one. The service is fantastic and fast. Zero complaints. We also learned on our last visit that they ship the whiskey cake.. not sure they should've told me this lmao because I will be ordering. read more

Great service from start to finish. The chicken and waffles were delicious and definitely a standout dish. Everything came out well prepared and flavorful.

Met up with some friends here for dinner and it was popping! I've never seen a place so busy on a Tuesday. Great atmosphere. We checked in with the hostess and were warmly greeted and seated right away. They have happy hour from 3-6pm with specials on drinks and bar bites, so right away we put in an order for a couple of drinks and the tater tots. We also got the Brussels sprouts. For my main, I ordered the steak frites and subbed the fries for the Cajun butter potatoes. I also got the happy hour old fashioned and an espresso martini. The steak was good, and although I didn't taste much of a Cajun flavor on the potatoes, I liked how they were cooked. The Brussels sprouts are amazing, highly recommend. I also enjoyed my drinks. I was so full after my meal that I didn't have room for dessert, but I would love to try the whiskey cake next time. read more

I've visited Whiskey cake in Houston before and it was decent food for a chain. My friend and I were intown and decided to try it out. Well they redid their whole menu anddd the choices are even more limited for a pescatarian... Seeing as how I only eat seafood I ordered items off the app menu and a battered fish filet. Ummmm I didn't like either fried fish at all. They definitely use old grease and the batter is just too thick. The deviled eggs were really good and my beverage was just okay. Now the belle of the ball was the whiskey cake! Plus the ice cream. Ya can't really miss with dessert. Also our waiter was really good and friendly! read more

I am a believer! Everything we got was so sell executed, i wash blown away at the quality for a chain. The salad was fresh and bursting with flavor. The spinach artichoke dip was tasty and i dont even usually like that as a dish, but i did here! Half chicken was beautifully plated and really tasty. Crispy taters were a hit, and a stand out. They did everything right here. Decor is so super cute, the type of place you want to spend a weekend afternoon. Server was a sweetheart and did a great job. Easy 5 stars. read more

This spot has that hearty, rustic Southern feel from the moment you walk in, the kind of place that makes you want to settle in for comfort food and good company. We showed up as a large group right before closing and they still managed to accommodate us with no fuss, which we really appreciated. The staff were gracious and welcoming even though it was the end of the night, and that set the tone for a great experience. The food and drinks were just as memorable. I especially loved the carroty cocktail, which was bright and refreshing, along with the deviled eggs and other shareable appetizers that made the table feel festive. Everything came out quickly and tasted spot on. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the hospitality, it felt like a true Southern experience done right. read more

I like the farm to table concept at this restaurant so I stopped and ate dinner here with a few buddies prior to a concert at Toyota Music Factory. I ordered the Ruben and it came on local marbled rye bread- always nice to have homemade bread not full of preservatives and other garbage for your body. Bread was thick and flavorful and the sandwich was topped with pastrami, cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing just like a proper Ruben should be. The sauerkraut dressing mix was decent and cheese was melted as I would expect on a Ruben. Pastrami had great flavor, my only mild complaint is that I like my sandwich liked a little higher than what I got there, but that's just me being picky. The sandwich was served with hand cut fries- they were great! I washed it down with a couple of glasses of Pinot and then was ready to go to the concert. Our server was friendly and took great care of us. Good spot for some grub and they have a large whiskey selection if you're into that type of thing. read more

I didn't write a review for Whiskey Cake, yet? Can't be! But alas, here I am in 2025 attempting to summarize the last 6-ish years of dining here. Brunch, lunch, dinner and everything in between. I've been here for all of it and I'm never disappointed. WC is always on my list for visitors and I'm always happy to make the trek. A great concept for the area. Reservations or as a walk-in. No problems. Luckily, my family was able to stop in for their special July 4th brunch. Tell me why, we almost missed fireworks to make another trip?! Seating is ample, the waitstaff and bar staff are superb, the bathrooms are always clean. Parking is never an issue and I can't remember eating something I didn't like. In fact, I've ordered their special holiday meals for pre-post holiday eating and they've been a part of my freeze prep for two years in a row. A great meal before negative however many degrees sounds like a win in my [cook]book. read more

Been to Whiskey cake a few times now, and have visited both the Irving and Plano locations. They both are good, but I prefer the Irving one mostly because of the layout, it feels bigger to me than the Plano one did. Food wise, I ordered the rigatoni pasta last time I went and it was delicious! It was creamy, flavorful, just what you'd want in a pasta dish. However I went last night and turns out they flipped the menu and it's no longer on there, maybe it was just a summer menu item. Anyways that's okay, I tried the Chicken Melt last night and that was divine! It was messy but the flavor was on point. We also had to get the whiskey cake of course! It doesn't actually taste like whiskey or anything, but it was moist, and hit the sweet spot literally. It's a good size so just one will be shareable for a couple of people. The cake itself is too sweet for me after a couple bites so I prefer to share. Additionally, me and my friend both got the old fashioned flights, which were really good, and gave us a chance to taste a few different types of OF that they make here. All in all we had a great experience and our server was lovely as well. read more

The ambiance was okay. Maybe a little too dark, almost gloomy and very loud. I ordered the rigatoni pasta with shrimp. Amazing! My son ordered the fish and chips. Also, the goat cheese appetizer. Different but good, definitely an acquired taste. He really enjoyed it. My husband ordered the steak with shrimp well done. His steak came out really bloody but it was corrected and the manager was a sweetheart, even though we weren't mad about it. Now our waiter.. he forgot about us a lot and admitted to it. We watched him give another table across from us special treatment. Which is why there's a video of me putting the cool whip on our cake. He was still tipped well but I just hate when the service isn't consistent amongst all customers. read more

Very very solid restaurant. Lots of great bourbon as it should be for a place with Whiskey in the name. Tried a plethora of things and honestly it was all good to very good. The Steak on the steak frites could have been a little more tender, but the chimi was good and the fries were delicious. I could call out everything but it was all so different and chefy. Seriously, I have zero complaints. Our waitress was awesome too being from Memphis. The vibe is loud and busy. Hard to have conversations, but it's a busy spot and very popular, it seemed. Seems like a place that's great for group dinners and/or happy hours. Highly recommend. read more

What a day to go to Whiskey Cake. With all the storms, I got there at 11 when they opened and I was the only person. Highly recommend going on a rainy day! Jacob, our server, was great. Attentive, but gave us space to visit. I'd been here twice before and had a great time, but this was my first small scale outing to WC where apps weren't ordered for me, so Jacob was really helpful with suggestions. We started with the deviled eggs, because I happened to show up both previous times during the bacon topped deviled eggs. They are DELICIOUS, but I was really hoping to try different ones and I was not disappointed. The caramelized onion deviled eggs were ridiculous. My boss had never had them at Whiskey Cake, and she was stunned. You think, but they're just deviled eggs, who cares, deviled eggs aren't special. EH, wrong! They are that special. They come 5 to a plate (don't ask me why not 6, I question that myself), and they're not large eggs, but they are ridiculously good and the filing is plentiful. If I'm honest, the two of us didn't even finish three 5, but for a table of 4, seems like there should be a larger option. Jacob had suggested the turkey chili, so I got that with the grilled chopped chicken salad with no blue cheese. My boss got the salad and sandwich with the chicken sandwich and the grilled chopped chicken salad. That salad is just really good. The grilled char taste on the chicken is great, they have a texture like maybe they're boiled first and then grilled, I'm fine with that. The chicken is so moist, you can see it in my photos. My boss wasn't sure about the basil garlic dressing, so Jacob surprised her with several choices, she loved that. Spoiler alert, that basil garlic dressing is so good, you could eat it on cardboard. The turkey chili has beans in it, which I didn't love. I don't understand beans in chili in a restaurant. I know it's because beans are cheaper than meat, but still, I'd rather have extra turkey than a spoonful of beans and no turkey. That said, the soup flavor was good and spicy, so Jacob got that suggestion right on the money. Of course, the place is called Whiskey Cake, so... you have to. Or rather, I got a piece and a side of ice cream to go for my boyfriend. lol That was his one request, since this was just me and my boss today. I have a feeling we'll be back soon! P.S. - The to go containers are not great for a salad. lol They have large ribs that just don't seem like they'll work for much more than a steak or burger. read more

It was cool. We made reservations so we got right in. The deviled eggs were not good, but the Brussels and fried green tomatoes were okay (I would have like to have seen a red/orange type dip with that).

This place won't do you wrong... Dallas is full of chains and concepts, and this is another one but one of the better ones that you will come to. It's got a big fun bar inside as well as a lot of indoor seating and some nice covered patio seating outside for that nice weather that occasionally comes to Dallas in the spring and fall. The brussels sprouts as an appetizer was pretty good, and it was not Overlee done. The chicken was nicely roasted with great roasted vegetables to go along with it and I would definitely order that again. I think they could do better in terms of their nonalcoholic, beer options. Service was pretty solid and the prices are reasonable. read more

Pork chop was amazing. I'll be coming back to this place for certain. Bartenders were on point with me, fed me and never left me thirsty. Didn't get the dessert they are named after, but knowing how the dinner was- Probly should have gotten the dessert. Worth the visit, great food. read more

This place has amazing food and cocktails hands down. Was visiting Dallas and stayed just outside in the suburbs, not far from Whiskey Cake. When I found out they had specialty all smoke no fire cocktails, hell yea sign me up!! The server is as on point with his service and doing his thing with my whiskey as you can see. For food I got a salad with their fire roasted chicken and it was SO yummy. Lots of flavor, very fresh, so good. The ambiance is cool too - with rugged tables, lighting and just a fun relaxed vibe. Really a cool place to bring clients too for lunch or just have a low key drink and apps with friends. Lots of variety and selections from food to obviously drinks. Prices very fair too and portions are large. Definitely put this on your top 5 list to visit and try if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed! read more
