    We stopped in for lunch on a mid-afternoon on a not-busy day, but there was still a wait to be seated. That's where the problems started. The AC wasn't on or wasn't working, making the restaurant uncomfortably warm and humid. The food was just okay with zero flavor. The fried green tomatoes tasted bland, and the fish and chips were the same, no taste, no seasoning. For a place that's supposed to specialize in food and drinks, we expected a lot more. Overall, we wouldn't go back. There are plenty of other restaurants in Jacksonville worth your time and money.

    Tried visiting on a Friday afternoon about 4pm. Pretty busy so we sat at the bar. Another couple sat down after us. We were never even greeted by the bartender or waited on. But a couple that's sat down after us was waited on. So we ended up leaving.

    Food was good and portions were huge! Came here with a large group outing and we had a great time. Staff was very friendly and quick with our orders despite our group size. Would recommend.

    I came here for Mother's Day and had a reservation for 12pm. We were greeted by the hosts and seated shortly after. The overall restaurant was very nice and spacious. It was a little loud but considering they were busy for Mother's day, it was to be expected. We ordered two appetizers: Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs & Bacon. Both great but the bacon is definitely a must try. Great flavor and melts in your mouth. For our entrees, we ordered shrimp and grits, hangover burger, farmers breakfast, and rotisserie farm bird. Everything was plated very nice, hot, and tasted delicious. Our server was very kind and attentive. At the end of our meal, he recommended we try the whiskey cake which was absolutely phenomenal. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely come back!

    We came here today for my goddaughter's graduation celebratory lunch. Having never been here I was not sure what the menu options would be or what to expect. First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back

    This is the second experience that I've had a Whiskey Cakes. My first was in Round Rock, Texas. Last night, was The Town center in Jax. Both were consistently amazing! The food and service were impeccable!!! Having tried both places, that enabled me to try several different dishes. My recommendations for appetizers, The fried green tomatoes, and the deviled eggs (it will be a surprise as to which one you get, they change.) we had the scallion and barbecue. The goat cheese fondue was delicious as well. I've had the steak salad for dinner as well as the Reuben. Whatever you get, you're gonna be eating well and leaving happy! As for ambiance, it's busy and fun. Which makes it loud. Not a great place for a "romantic evening" but more for a fun, laughter filled night.

    Had a good time with friends at the bar. Tried out their Juiced & Free-Spirited (mocktails) drinks. Bar servers were nice. I got the THORNS & ROSES and JESSICA WABBIT. THORNS & ROSES - it had zero-proof tequila, guava, jalapeño, lime, and simple. You can taste a little "kick" in the drink, but the flavors together were good. JESSICA WABBIT - it had mint, carrot, lime, pineapple, pineapple-ginger syrup, and ginger beer. Very good and semi-sweet. I really like ginger beer so this brought a little bubbly feeling. I've been eyeballing the Whiskey Cake, but will have to order it at next visit!

    We finally made it and agreed this was a very good visit. Well decorated and the bar wall was impressive. Friendly and excellent service, kitchen was timely, and food was well executed. Portions were appropriate for the prices listed. Our party of 8 enjoyed our time and our meals. My fish and chips served with an individual malt vinegar bottle was really good. My wife's rotisserie chicken was excellent. Count us as new fans.

    Whiskey Cake is a solid experience for brunch, lunch or dinner. Call or reserve a table ahead as it sometimes does become rather crowded. We went for brunch recently for the first time. We had a reservation, were given a choice to sit inside or outside and were seated inside immediately. The interior is both rustic and elegant at the same time with bold wood and brick accents. It's a really nice environment. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and informative. I ordered the chicken and waffles. It was good but maybe not the best brunch choice. It just wasn't executed as well as I've had in some other places. It's designed to come with fried eggs right on top of the waffles. It also comes with gravy. The waffle and the gravy...impeccable. Fantastic gravy. The eggs were cooked very well. The chicken tenders were a bit bland and dry, the syrup almost a bit bitter. There are some home runs at Whiskey Cake, there are some items that are just OK. I'll be back, I just don't think I'll order the chicken and waffles again. I do recommend you try this place if you're in the town center though.

    We made reservations and came here for Mother's Day brunch to check it out and I was very impressed! The atmosphere was great, and the food was melt in your mouth good. That wasn't even the best part, the Bloody Mary was possibly the best I've ever had and I would come back for more of that. The staff was friendly and helpful. The entire experience was great

    Smoked salmon
    Shana S.

    Upon walking in the atmosphere is amazing! We were seated promptly and our waitress came to get drink and app orders. We ordered the rum punch and the spinach dip to start. The spinach dip was much more creamier than I'm used to, not as thick of a consistency and it did not stay warm in the bowl it was served in, it started to cool down after we first dug into it. The rum punch was wonderful and definitely could taste the rum! For dinner I had the grilled salmon rigatoni and it was delightful. The flavor was amazing and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Mom had the wood grilled salmon and the presentation was beautiful, she said all of the food was also cooked well.

    Deviled Eggs
    Diele K.

    For a recent work trip, I dined at this location for dinner one evening with a fellow coworker from Arizona. I love deviled eggs, and I was intrigued when it was mentioned that they are "always seasonal, never predictable." We figured since it was within a mile of the hotel, why not check this place out? When we pulled up, there were quite the amount of cars. Always good sign when a place has business! Though busier due to the daily dinner rush, we were seated immediately shortly before 7pm. I ordered a Pineapple Cilantro Smash at the recommendation of the server, and the bar had out in less than 10 minutes. Even our food arrived within 30 minutes of ordering, though the restaurant was bustling with business. I felt like it was a good balance of speed, accuracy, and not feeling rushed! Overall, we enjoyed the decor of the establishment as it made for a relaxed dinner dining experience. The service was fantastic, and we enjoyed our food. The deviled eggs were pretty good, though I removed the bacon as not a fan of pork. The tavern burger was unique in flavor with the brisket blend, and I really enjoyed it. Plus, the fries were delightfully crispy and delicious dipped in ketchup. Definitely a contender for dinner if I return to Jacksonville for work! Check this place out if you are local.

    Goat cheese fondue
    Briana N.

    We came on a Thursday evening without a reservation, and we were able to be seated within 15 min, so not too bad! The goat cheese fondue was so good. It comes out literally bubbling, and you get to watch them mix it up right in front of you. I thought it would be a lot funkier than it actually was, so I think non goat cheese lovers will enjoy this too as it's pretty mild. The roasted garlic, tomatoes, and olives are all really complimentary flavors too. All around delicious! I also really enjoyed the French Onion burger. So juicy, so oniony, without being too salty or overpowering. The fries were also soo crispy. I wasn't the biggest fan of the grilled shrimp rigatoni though. The shrimp was cooked really nicely, and with good flavor. But the pasta was super soft, and the tomato sauce was nothing special to me. I liked the greens in it though. We were sadly too full to get the whiskey cake, but I'm for sure getting that next time. I love sticky toffee pudding and the restaurant is literally named after it, I'm sure it's delicious!

I'll let the photos from other reviews do the talking, but if you enjoy a good backstory, ask about the history of the space. My mission for the night was simple: end the evening with a great gin cocktail. I started with the Donna Bella from the menu. It was well made, but I thought the bitters were a little too forward for my taste. Next, I asked for an off-menu modification: a Water Lily for Teresa, but made with Roku Gin. It was a strong contender--aromatic, balanced, and beautifully floral. If you're a fan of a French 75, this is a fun cocktail to explore. It's less citrus-forward and leans into a floral profile with a character that's hard to compare to anything else. For the final round, I went with bartender's choice. Mick asked a few questions about my flavor preferences and absolutely nailed it. They crafted a cocktail with Roku gin, snap pea cordial, aloe liqueur, egg white, lemon simple, mint, and citrus that was easily the highlight of the night. Fresh, layered, and memorable, it's a drink that deserves a permanent spot on the menu....Mission accomplished. If you're willing to wander beyond the barbershop business front and you consider yourself a spirit explorer, Volstead is well worth the visit. Go for a round...or two. If you're local, this could easily become your staple spot. For what it is, strong craft cocktail bar option. Bartenders choice is the way to go.

I got here as they opened on Sunday, and it got packed relatively quickly. I'd recommend having a reservation if you're planning to visit during busier timeframes like this. I was seated promptly by attentive staff, and quickly had both food and drink menus to begin ordering. I was looking for something tasty without being too heavy, and settled on the Little Hans Vienna Lager along with the 8 oz steak burger and fries. The beer had amazing flavor similar to Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager with a good, crisp finish. The burger meal, described with "Tillamook cheddar cheese, caramelized onion & bacon jam, beef fat aioli, grilled potato roll, truffle fries", was arguablely the best burger and fries I've ever had in my life. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavor of the wood-fired grill certainly complemented the meat. The house-made pickles were a great touch to add another layer of complexity to the burger. I could tell the fries were fresh cut and never frozen. The truffle oil made these even more amazing. The manager offered and brought a special sauce to try that they normally serve with their chicken chicken sandwich that was superbly tasty and tangy. More than impressed with my entree, I elected to try a desert and was recommended the S'mores pie by my waitress. The deliciously buttery crust was my favorite part of the ensemble and blended well with the savory chocolate filling topped with a toasted marshmallow. While a bit pricey for lunch compared to most places, I was more than satisfied with the offerings provided here and would love to visit Ember and Iron again. Give my number one choice of 2026 thus far some love!
