    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.

    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

    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

    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 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.

    Fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs

    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!

    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!

    We wanted to have lunch at someplace new. Since my husband is a whiskey lover he wanted to check this place out. It's a free standing restaurant in the St. John's Shopping Center. We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

    Unwinding after a long day hits different at Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar. From the moment I sat down, the vibe was warm, inviting, and exactly what you want for an after-work wind down. Their cocktails are exceptionally well-crafted--balanced, smooth, and clearly made with intention. I ordered a classic Old Fashioned, and it was spot on: rich, bold, and perfectly stirred. You can tell they take pride in their bar program. And let's talk about the must-try--Whiskey Cake. Absolutely delicious. Moist, rich, and layered with deep caramel flavors, topped with just the right amount of sweetness. It's the kind of dessert you keep thinking about long after the last bite. Overall, an experience that delivers on both drinks and dessert. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Cheers to good cocktails and even better treats!

    Farmers Breakfast
    Alexis H.

    Mimosa Flight? Yes. Farmers Breakfast? No! The fruit and millionaire's bacon were the best tasting items on the plate. I would recommend trying the chicken & waffles (another member of my party ordered this and loved it) or black forest french toast if you're looking for a better breakfast entree. The service was okay.

    The tavern burger.  It's a burger.

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.

The house band is pretty good, a little bit on the young side, but they seem to get the job done. OK. After the house being played a set, they had a sit in sessions with various musicians, which is always nice. The atmosphere is subtle and quiet at least for a club. Location is great, and the staff seemed friendly. It's good to have a place in Jacksonville with an environment like this and a place where you can go and listen to jazz/blues. I wish there was more like this, maybe with a little bit of older, jazz, musicians and more people who appreciate jazz as it didn't seem like the audience was 100% jazz lovers, but that doesn't detract too much especially since there's not a lot of places in Jacksonville that do what they're doing here.

I think this might be one of their more under rated themes. If not this, then their retro them for certain. It's almost hard for me to write about their cocktails nowadays because they're always so good. I went ahead and attached a LOT of photos to this review of cocktails from the past several themes they've done as well. I just love the fact that they always have real craft cocktails, not just a minor twist on something that they're charging more for. It's worth noting that they always offer Mocktails and THC infused drinks for the non alcohol drinkers. We didn't try as many things as we usually do but we REALLY liked what we did get a chance to try. Off the top of my head, I'd say the Cabana Boy was my personal favorite. That's the whiskey sour that comes as a pairing in the Twin Palms special. My wife liked everything enough that she didn't have a favorite. If you haven't been to Grey Matter Distillery; go check out this theme because it's a good one. Then make sure to keep on eye on them because I'm guessing their Retro Theme will be coming back next and I'm always excited for that one too.

My boyfriend had a custom make your own old fashioned, which is always fun. You choose what type of liquor, bitters, and smoke you would like so you can tailor your drink to your liking. For appetizers, we had to get the roasted oysters, everything here has the essence of that fire grilled taste which I particularly love on oysters. After we knocked back a dozen of those, we tried the fries with the tender beef, cheese, and pickled jalapeños. They fry them in tallow, which gives the fries a really nice rich flavor! Then my boyfriend has some cornbread, which had a fruit jam and whipped butter, which he enjoyed. I typically get the chimichurri steak which again has that nice fire grilled element and is paired with some delicious vegetables like carrots, green beans, and potatoes. My boyfriend had the red fish over the andouille dirty rice, which was phenomenal! If I didn't get my seafood craving from the oysters, I definitely would've ordered that.
