    Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs
    Jaclyn P.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    This place intrigued me when an episode on First Coast Living on NBC 12 in Jacksonville, FL. aired a few weeks ago. What was depicted on the show was spot on! My wife & I was in town for the Journey concert at VyStar Memorial and decided to have brunch the next morning before we headed back home to St. Simons Island. Let's just say Whiskey Cake didn't disappoint. This is not a 5 star but a strong 4.5 star visit. Samantha our server was fantastic and attentive to our dining experience while we were there enjoying our meal. I had the Crab Cake Benedict & my wife had the Crispy Fried Chicken over a bed of greens. Great presentation and great flavor! We also had a couple of adult beverages. I had the Mary Me (Bloody Mary) and my wife had the Espresso Martini!. Again, excellent cocktails! If visiting Jacksonville or are a resident, you need to try this place out. Great decor, vast selection of bourbon & whiskey as well as any other liquor you may desire. Great for any celebration!

    The tavern burger.  It's a burger.

    Did you know that Marie Antoinette likely never actually said the phrase, "Let them eat cake"? Did you also know that the Bourbon dynasty (the House of Bourbon) ruled France for approximately 213 years? Two interesting facts about French history that include 'cake' and 'bourbon' - which is a kind of whiskey. Interestingly, I had a chance to try the restaurant Whiskey Cake recently. Well, no, I didn't get to go to France. It's at Town Center. Located in the old Ida Clare restaurant, it's a big space with a nice bar and plenty of seating. Parking? Not so great. Every space was full. But fortunately there is plenty of parking if you're willing to walk a little bit from the Dillard's lot. Restaurants focused on bourbon and other whiskeys have popped up a lot over the past few years as interest has skyrocketed. Whiskey Cake does have a decent selection, which you can see on the website. Unfortunately, they don't provide you with a whiskey menu when you sit down, which seemed like a mistake to me. I looked on my phone and ordered, but it's definitely something I would recommend they add. I tried the Rooster Royale. It's a fried chicken sandwich with a hot honey bbq sauce. The chicken breast was juicy and tender. Bun to bird ratio was good. The bbq sauce was sweet, and didn't have a heavy bbq flavor. My wife said she tasted cumin in the flavor. She has a much more sophisticated palette than me, and I also have no idea what cumin is or what it tastes like, so I obviously believed her. The fries that came with it were fine, but nothing to write home about ("Dear mom, Having a great time at camp. Let me tell you about the fries I had last night. . .") oh and they serve a somewhat off catsup that has tomato seeds in it. Why? I don't know. What's wrong with regular catsup? My wife tried the Reuben. It was fine. A little salty to me. Others in our group tried the tavern burger and the grilled chopped chicken salad. They both seemed to like their meals, but no one was raving about a dish. There's only one dessert item - the bourbon cake. A friend told me that it was a 'must try!' So we tried it. It's a big piece of sticky toffee cake, covered in a bourbon anglaise, spiced pecans and a side of whipped cream. Apparently you could also order some ice cream to go with it. The cake was good. Not great for one in our party with a nut allergy. We just didn't let him eat cake. Whisky Cake is fine. Are there better restaurants out there to try? Absolutely. Will you have a bad meal there? I don't think so. But in what I know is a very difficult and competitive industry, let's just say I don't think the Whisky Cake dynasty will last that long. But you should try the cake.

    I only have one photo, but what a great brunch experience. We met up with friends we haven't seen in forever, and were thrilled that Whiskey Cake offers reservations. We were seated immediately and our server was absolutely fantastic. When everyone got there, we ordered Bloody Marys (which were gorgeous), mimosas (stunning) and I got a Cold Fashioned, which is basically a cold brew (coffee-infused bourbon) with housemade cold foam. Be still, my heart. We started with the goat cheese fondue for the table. It was creamy and warm with toasted sourdough, olive oil, and plenty of olives and roasted peppers and garlic. For food, we all ordered something different. I had the Avocado Toast with a side of mac and cheese. The toast was delicious, on sourdough, with arugula, tomato, smashed avocado and thick, crispy bacon and pickled onions. also at our table was the Prime Rib and Gouda stack, a Farmer's Breakfast, the Crab Benedict, Shrimp and Grits, and the Cherry French Toast. Leftovers were few and far between. Everything was on point and flavorful. Sadly,. there was no room for Whiskey Cake dessert, but we'll be back!

    Chicken and waffle
    Kate C.

    This was my first time having brunch here. And overall, the food was just so-so. I had a Colossal Cinnamon Roll with a side of millionaires bacon. The cinnamon roll was pretty tasty and gooey on the inside (as it should be) but it had cooled quite a bit by the time it came out, which was a little bit of a bummer. The Millionaires Bacon just wasn't for me. I expected it to lean a little sweet given the description, but I thought there would still be a hint of the salty bacon in there somewhere. There wasn't. And while I also expected a little glaze from the brown sugar, this was too much. Almost was like... bacon jerky trying to eat it. Someone else at the table got the chicken and waffle and enjoyed it. I didn't taste test but it smelled good! And a piece of the whiskey cake itself was split among us. That was probable the best part foodwise. My favorite part of the meal was the drinks though. A few good mocktail options, which I was thrilled with! I had the Jessica Wabbit, which is mint, carrot, lime, pineapple flavors in ginger beer. I could have had like 8 of them they were so good! The ginger beer is strong and the pineapple flavor really showed thru. I taste the carrot a little, but I think it was mostly there for the color. It is a pretty and vibrant drink! Our server was wonderful (and the reason I wounded up to 4 stars). Something I thought was interesting though (unrelated to the server!), someone at our table ordered iced tea, and they had to brew some! Didn't have it just on hand. Not sure if that is normal or something just ran out. It took a little time to come out but was so good and fresh. Overall the experience was fine. Not somewhere I will be racing back to, but would go if prodded a little lol.

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.

They make amazing themed drinks and really put effort into their seasonal menus. The bouncer needs to chill out and get off his power trip, "I'm not just letting people in the door, I'm bouncing, don't be the first person to get bounced tonight, I'm serious." He said to a lady simply trying to follow her friends through the door because she hasn't been paying attention. Edit: the owner reached out and assured me that the issue with the bouncer has been resolved satisfactorily. The mark of a great venue is how they treat their customers, and the owner here is top notch in his dedication to making sure each customer has a great experience. The bouncer, even with the little issue I had, seems to have meant well and it sounds like a miscommunication more than anything. I highly recommend this distillery for some of the best drinks around. Try and come during one of their multiple pop ups throughout the year. I can't wait to attend retro month!

We opted to start with fried pickles and split a wedge salad. My sister and her husband each had a salad. My sister had the burata and her husband had the ranch. Our apps/salads came out quickly. The wedge salad was cool and crisp. I wish it had more pieces of bacon, the bacon looked a bit sparse. The fried pickles were great. I loved the light crisp batter on them and the ranch dip had a bit of a kick to it. For dinner I got the braised short ribs, my husband and brother in law both got the chimichurri steak, and my sister got the pork schnitzel. I've been looking forward to the braised short ribs all week. I was a bit disappointed that when I bit in, it appeared to be pretty bland. Normally when I get this meal it's bursting with flavor. My husband and BIL enjoyed their steaks. My sister enjoyed her schnitzel, but said the pork could have been a bit thinner. We ended the meal with their skillet cookie. Typically the cookie comes out piping hot, but on this occassion, while the skillet was hot, the cookie wasn't. We'll give them another shot, but I was a bit disappointed this time around.
