From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming with a great vibe; perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. The food absolutely lived up to the ambiance. The garlic parmesan Brussels sprouts were a standout appetizer! They were crispy, flavorful, and the perfect balance of flavors. The French onion burger was incredible, packed with rich onion flavor, melty cheese, and cooked perfectly. And the whiskey cake was the perfect way to end the meal.. it's a dessert you definitely don't want to skip. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service made for an all-around fantastic experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Food - 4.5/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 3.5/5 I had only heard mixed reviews regarding this place going in, so I figured my experience was going to be the same, but it was an overall very positive one. The ambiance was nice as we walked in, and after being quickly seated next to a window, the atmosphere was nice. They did end up covering the window before we started eating, and the little bulb way above us and candle did not really provide light enough for us to eat (I get it is mood lighting, but I like seeing what I eat). The food was really solid, though. A few times I've been in the past it was all too salty, but this time around it was much better. I got the Farm Bird, and it was very juicy and had a very nice crunch. The Fish and Chips were nice and flaky, while the Pork Chop was extremely juicy and rich. The shrimp in the rigatoni was definitely oversalted, as well as the broccolini greens in the pork chop dish. The appetizers we got (Brussels Sprouts and Spinach Artichoke Dip) were both okay, though I prefer garlic bread to the chip for the dip and the sprouts were a little one note. The whiskey cake itself was very good, though I recommend only one plate for a group of 6 or less because of how rich it is, especially if you get the ice cream addition. Overall a very surprising experience, and while it carries a heavy price tag, it is absolutely a good choice if you're looking for a nicer meal out here. read more

I am writing to share feedback regarding our recent Valentine's Day dinner at this Whiskey Cake. We have always enjoyed dining here until this dinner date we experienced. Although we understood it was a busy holiday evening, the overall service felt extremely unorganized. It was very apparent that employees were rushing, and the atmosphere felt chaotic rather than coordinated. My drink was made incorrectly twice. We ordered the same dishes we typically enjoy, but this time the plate presentation was noticeably different and appeared rushed, as if the food had simply been placed on the plate without care. Additionally, we chose to take a slice of cake to go instead of dining in for dessert, yet we waited over 25 minutes just to receive it. And while I waited that long no one checked in with me they just stared at me. Unfortunately, what we hoped would be a special Valentine's dinner date turned into a very disappointing experience. We have always held this restaurant to a high standard, which is why this visit was so surprising to us read more

This was the best food of our whole trip. California to Texas.... I got the chicken soup and a crab cake. Both were excellent!!! We also got the whiskey cake but devoured it before any photos were taken. If I lived in the area, I'd go here often. Great service, fun decor and space. read more

Great foot great service great atmosphere and amazing whiskey cake. Seating at the bar is fun.

Limited Pleasure! Allow me to start off by saying it was delicious fulfillment and they never seem to fail. This location near the Baybrook Mall is perfect for shopping and dining. Plenty of room and fast service. The severs are amazing and work to get it right for you everytime. The noise level is always pleasant and you can actually hear the music as well. First up is the Farmers Market Soup. Initially, I thought a cup of this would suffice and I was gravely mistaken, so I ended up ordering a bowl, after finishing the cup. Simply said a sweet potato has been transformed into an such an array of flavors that your palette begs for more. Next up will be the Fire Roasted Veggies, who stand firm and flavored coming straight from the grill to you plate and then your table, only to be found by your fork to be appreciated by you. However I cannot leave out the chili sauce they are layered in with a hint of spice. I need this recipe. OMG! Last up will be My Specialty, a small amount of the soup accompanied with the veggies will encourage your taste buds to sing for more. Amazing location and service. The prices are bad either. Unless the menu changes at least one of these will be in my order, if not both. Bye ~ Bye ! read more

Whiskey cake is good overall. The only complaint I have is that sometimes they choose too much of a spin on some of their dishes. But we just went for brunch, and had one of the better meals we have had. Deviled eggs, steak and potato's, and biscuits with gravy. 10/10. read more

I wanted to add an update to my review. I visited yesterday to celebrate my brother's birthday and I will say that they have revamped the menu included more vegan options. There was one vegan salad and hummus plate. I didn't have to get something off of the sides menu. I ordered the hummus plate with vegetables and pita bread and the farm salad. Now I would add an extra star if the portion size of the salad was the same as the hummus plate. It was a very small bowl of leafy greens with a few grape tomatoes. The hummus plate was huge for it being an appetizer, I didn't expect for it to be bigger than the actual entree. I think next time I come, I'll stick with eating only the appetizers to make it into a meal. You get more of your money's worth (especially in this economy). The service was great! Our waitress was attentive and we didn't even know she was training. She did very well! I love the ambiance. I love vintage and antique things, but never been a fan of farmhouse vintage decor, but Whiskey Cake does it so well considering there's no musty odor of the old stuff. Again, no vegan whiskey cake alternative and there wasn't a dessert that I could eat. read more

We really enjoyed this nicer sit-down dinner spot next to Baybrook mall. Menu was upscale American fare with pretty reasonable prices. Service was excellent and we were seated promptly despite it being a busy Friday night. We got the crispy cauliflower and crab fritter bites apps and went with the French onion burger with fries for my entree. The portions were decent and quality was great overall between food and drinks. Also have to try the name sake Whiskey cake which wasn't overly sweet and had a toffee type glaze and whipped cream. read more

Ambiance always chic, inviting. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather for brunch. Seating was comfy, lots of shade. We were seated quickly and service was fast and friendly. Food was good, first time coming for brunch. Fondue was soooo good. Yes we had it for brunch, don't knock it till you try it! Bread was nice and toasted on grill. Cheese was gooey and yumm. Hangover burger was tasty, sauce was a little spicy, opted for the fruit as potatoes had a kick to them. Farmer's breakfast was good, tons of food. Eggs were cooked perfectly, sunny side up. Potatoes definitely had a kick to them. Fruit was good, fresh. The biscuits...ughh was disappointed because they were on the spicy side for me. Definitely had a kick to them, my pallet was weak today! Coffee was nice a hot. Will definitely be back to try other tasty dishes. read more

This was so disappointing! We stopped by for drinks and light bites before going to the movies. It took almost fifteen minutes to get the margaritas we'd ordered, and they had salt on them even though we had asked for no salt. We did not send them back, as we did not want to wait another 15' to get the right drinks. The crab fritters were okay, nothing memorable. The burger was totally underwhelming and overcooked, but I did like the fries it came with. The ambiance was laid back, and the decor very pretty too. Parking was abundant. Sadly, I do not think we will be back. read more

Great, great, great experience. The bartender was super cool and knowledgeable about all of the whiskeys. As a whiskey guy, it was great to go to a place that had an extensive collection, and to have a bartender who knew his stuff. The bonus was the whiskey cake; it was the best. read more

We hosted our book club/my birthday dinner here & it was amazing. I called ahead to make reservations explaining that it was a book club discussion dinner & they placed us off to the side which was perfect. The waiter was amazing & friendly. The put the cake in the back & even brought out a candle & lighter. Food was great, except the potatoes. I ordered the Tavern burger with fries & it was so good! I also got a side of potatoes for my baby & he not I liked them. I think it was more of a preference than that they were nasty. But besides that's it was a great experience. Free parking read more

As expected, we came back and again had an amazing meal! For cocktails, I got the American pie and my partner had the bohemian raspberry. Both were delicious and on the sweeter side which I enjoy. For food, I got the French onion burger. This was very good, but a little on the wet side - this was to be expected based on the description, but I may opt for something else next time since it left me feeling a little greasy. We of course then finished off with a whiskey cake (not pictured here because I immediately dug in). And as always, the whiskey cake hit the spot!! The service and ambiance were impeccable as always. Can't wait to return again soon! read more

I came for brunch with my girls. And OMG, I was not expecting this. It's true, never judge a book by its cover. I've always seen this place, decided to look at the menu and figured, nah. Then the girls decided to have brunch here. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles which is what I usually get for brunch. Idk what that waffle is made of but TRY IT! I almost got a second one to take home for later. Lol Austin was our waiter and he was just simply awesome. He was attentive and very funny. The place is amazing. You walk in and there's a huge wall just full of liquor and they have a latter for the bartenders to grab what they need. It's super awesome. I have to try the dinner menu now. Lol Oh. And try the whiskey cake, but make sure you share it. It's waaaay too big for just one persons liking. read more

Craving an Old Fashioned and a burger, and this place delivered. Stopped in on a Thursday evening and grabbed a seat at the bar. I was greeted by a fantastic bartender, named Dean (I believe), who mixed up a smooth Old Fashioned using Milam & Greene Rye. I went with the French Onion Burger and absolutely demolished it. I've never finished a burger like that. Surprisingly still had a little room for dessert, and I'm so glad I ordered the whiskey cake. It had a flavor I rarely come across, rich, unique, and not overly sweet. To top it all off, Dean crafted a half-sized dark Manhattan as a final pairing. Perfect closer. Between the drinks, food, atmosphere, and great conversation, this place exceeded expectations. Highly recommend. read more

Around Baybrook Mall, so parking lot is super busy, but they still had plenty of tables open. Very comfy atmosphere with a welcoming staff. We had a really nice and attentive waiter too. Weekly specials are creative and mostly farm to table with local goat cheese and herbs grown in front of the restaurant too. Espresso martinis are my go to and this one was very good. The goat cheese dip with olives, roasted tomatoes and garlic & then they add olive oil at the table and it sizzles -- served with delicious sourdough. The smoked tomato soup was a special and it was very good and not too smoky. Filled with mushrooms, smoked gouda and applewood bacon with horseradish croutons. I wanted some Whiskey Cake covered with sticky toffee pudding sauce - the house specialty - but I was too full. Overall, a very unique place with delicious choices and great service. read more

Came here for a brunch date. Whiskey Cake is one of many restaurants in this general area. One thing about this spot is it consistently stays busy. It is not connected to the mall but it does share a lot with other businesses. Parking can be hard to find in their lot, especially at peak times. They do take reservations through OpenTable which I wasn't aware of, so we did have a slight wait. Customer service was great from start to finish. What Whiskey Cake is known for is that they are farm to table and use the freshest ingredients. They also make everything from scratch and made to order. We started off with a couple of cocktails. How can I come to a place with whiskey in the name and not get something along those lines. I went with the Cold Fashioned. The name alone spoke to me. I love coffee and I love Old Fashioneds. The bourbon and cold brew conconction was absolutely tasty. My dining companion had the mimosa flight. I tried a sip of all of them and they were good. They have quite an impressive whiskey selection if that's your thing. They also serve cocktails, beer and wine. Something for everyone. For food, we started off with the goat cheese fondue. I am not even much of a goat cheese guy, but this was actually pretty tasty. The garlic confit really made it extra tasty for me. When it comes to brunch, I am almost always going to get a breakfast dish. Breakfast is the best meal of the day! I went with the Farmer's Breakfast because I like a well rounded breakfast. This dish had eggs, millionaire candied bacon, potatoes, a jalapeno cheddar biscuit and grits. Kind of basic yet elevated because of the quality of the ingredients they use. I really didn't have to do anything extra to the dish because everything was seasoned just right. The best part was the sweet and savory bacon. One final thing about Whiskey Cake is that you can not come here and not get their namesake whiskey cake for dessert. I have come here just for dessert before. I am a sticky toffee pudding fiend. It's probably one of my favorite sweet endings to a meal and if a menu has it, I'm getting it. They do it very well here. It is so decadent and rich and all components of the dish work very well together. Do not skip it! We are lucky to have a few locations throughout Houston. I will definitely be back! read more

Went in this location last night to celebrate my daughter 21st birthday with cake and cocktails. The drinks and food were great as always. However, the service was horrible. The only time we saw our server was when she was dropping our check and collecting her tip. The SA was more attentive and seemed to be working overtime. Will not be back for overpriced drinks and food. read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times. Learning from before, I did not order any of their juices. We ordered a sandwich ( chicken and cheese ) and a burger. Both were good. The sandwich was roasted chicken with avocado and bacon inside. Very tasty bc of the crunch from the bacon as well as the bread. They had a different type of fries than what we had last time so we wanted to try it. But honestly, if I were to order it again, I'd get my sandwich with chips instead of fries. I prefer the chips more. But the fries were crunchy and flavors were good. Would def come here again when they aren't too busy. read more

Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar has a nice rustic and casual vibe and has a massive wall filled with bourbon/whiskeys and other liquors. I would say this is THE place for Bourbon/Whiskey fans and enthusiasts! They have a huge selection of bourbon/whiskeys including hidden gems (aka the hard to find bourbons). My hubby and I have been on the bourbon hunt and were so happy to find some bourbons we've been searching for to try. We were able to get a pour of Stag, Eagle Rare, EH Taylor, and Four Roses! Our bartender was awesome, she even let us take pictures of our drinks with the bottle! What would have made our experience better would be for them to have Glencairns for the bourbon, instead I think they have whiskey tasting glasses. We were mainly there for the bourbons so we sat at the bar and ordered some appetizers. Highly recommend their Butcher Board which is their charcuterie board that includes cured meats, cheese, grapes, and bread. Also ordered the Roasted Garlic Hummus, sadly could not taste the garlic and the added spices and seeds wasn't for me. Because the name of the kitchen/bar is Whiskey Cake, you gotta try it! The cake was nice and moist, not too sweet, and the pecans balanced out the sweet bourbon anglaise. It was a pretty big cake so I would recommend sharing it with someone. Overall it's a good casual bar for sipping bourbon, if you're not into bourbon neat, I saw a lot of people ordering Old Fashioned, not to mention they have different kinds of Old Fashioned. Will definitely go back to try those! read more

I always love coming to Whiskey Cake, and this was my first time trying their brunch. As always, their Brussels sprouts are fantastic, and I loved the croque madame - the fried green tomatoes and thick bacon was exactly the hearty brunch I needed. The deviled eggs of the month were buffalo chicken, but we really couldn't taste anything other than blue cheese. While they weren't our favorite, that's the joys and risks of a varying deviled eggs flavor, and I will certainly come back and try more! read more

Don't come here unless you are only there for the whiskey. Don't go for the food. I ordered fish and chips and they place it on a brown paper napkin. The oil from the fish soaks the napkin and the napkin turns to mush and sticks all over the fish like glitter. I couldn't eat the fish. I tried to reach out to them about it and received no response. So here I am. This could have been avoided. read more

Super cute place. There were some issues with the wait staff not being attentive nor listening to requests - more water, for example. I felt I wasn't being heard a few times and gave up trying. It was very disconcerting. That said, the food was very good. We had the Goat Cheese Fondue to start. It was quite tasty! I'd totally order it again. I had Lemongrass Shrimp & Noodle salad, which was good, but a little odd. It had a weird combination of ingredients, which on paper sounded interesting enough. It captured my attention, but the salad itself didn't meet my expectations. The Whisky Cake, for which they're known, was great. So many sweet and delicious flavors along with a great mouthfeel. Service brought my review down to three stars. I'd be here with high praise if service had been more attentive. read more
