    Loud location! Stopped in for Sunday brunch a few months back. It was crowded and loud. Our waiter was just blah, just doing his job but he could have been friendlier. The food came out pretty fast. It was ok nothing amazing that I would return honestly. The drinks were good and whiskey is just whiskey.... Strong! The cake was good. Very sweet so you can't eat a lot at once. Overall I would return if asked to go but not a spot that I would frequent.

    Gavin was our host. He recommended his favorite items from the menu and his conversation made us feel welcome. He even highlighted Whiskey Cakes workplace culture. It appears this eatery cares about the happiness of the patrons and the employees too. My Hangover Burger was exactly what I needed after a great workout. Can't wait to bring other people here.

    We sat at the outside bar, The Old Fashioned Bar. Alex was our bartender and he was amazing! We both had a Frozen Old Fashioned, and they were so good! I tried the Wabbit Smash, which was gin based and made with fresh carrot juice and ginger and that was delicious! It was a great time and Alex made it even better with his knowledge of the different Whiskeys and his upbeat and positive energy! And among the extensive choices of Whiskeys they have a private barrel with Elijah Craig that you can only get at Whiskey Cake! That's pretty cool. Everything was awesome and we can't wait to come back!

    Crab Benedict and chicken melt, both with chili butter potatoes
    Andrea P.

    Had a lovely brunch date here with my kiddo while shopping at International Plaza. We didn't have a reservation on a beautiful Saturday around noon, but we were able to get a table right away. The patio is so cute, with some hydroponic gardens and a little herb garden, but the inside had the A/C going, so we were grateful for the cooler air inside. Since it was noon on a Saturday, we were able to enjoy the brunch menu. My kiddo had the chicken melt, which was HUGE, and she really liked it. I had the crab Benedict. The hollandaise sauce had a nice little kick to it, but the crab was kind of "fishy" tasting, so I kind of drowned it in lemon juice and that made it better. The poached eggs were perfect. We both had the chili butter potatoes for our side, and they were SO crispy and delicious. We didn't save room for dessert, but wished we had - the signature whiskey cake looked delicious.

    Everything here was amazing. Start to finish. Our host was warm, welcoming and had a stunning little flower on top of their head. We took our time with my menu. Everything is made from scratch and sounded fantastic. I chose the half sandwich half soup. Turkey chili with avocado pair with a chicken melt sandwich and house chips. My partner had the French onion burger. These sandwiches are messy! But everything was delicious and we were the perfect amount of full.

    This is a chain done right. Love their food and drink menu, the vibe is warm and welcoming, service is always outstanding. Some of their dishes can be a little heavy on the salt, but we've never had a bad meal here. Their brunch is especially good. Never had the whiskey cake though. One day!

    Old Fashioned

    This restaurant is delightful. Highly recommend the Old Fashioned if you are a drinker. If you prefer spirit free, Ruby Slippers is a tasty option. I had the Grilled Shrimp Rigatoni as my main course and it was tasty with the perfect amount of heat from chili oil. The service was swift and pleasant. Ambiance is definitely a bigger restaurant atmosphere. There is a private room in the back for larger parties and an outdoor seating area if you love a cool breeze while you sip.

    This restaurant has been on my wishlist list for a year and I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to go. The location is excellent- since it's in the Westshore mall there is plenty of free parking and other things to do/see/shop nearby. Our server, Elijah, was absolutely amazing- friendly, professional and helpful without being cloying. He did little things like wrote friendly notes on the receipt and the to go boxes. I especially liked that he asked if I was ok with all the ingredients in the food I ordered because it ended up that the menu didn't mention pork was in the gravy and I don't eat pork. I was here for a book club meeting and it was one of the few restaurants we met at where the music wasn't loud and I didn't feel the need to yell. The food was delicious . I ended up getting the chicken strips and waffles and everything was well seasoned and tasty. I ordered an alcoholic drink (can't remember the exact name) it was tasty and they did not skimp on the alcohol . I didn't buy the whiskey cake because I'm not a lover of molasses and that's what it tasted like. I'd be interested in going back and trying their brunch.

    I love this spot! I think I come everytime I'm in town at this point lol. It's a cool place with great service and food! This trip I ordered the kale salad which was delicious, however I was hungry as hell 3 hours later lol. I won't ever make that mistake again. I definitely needed more food lol. I did that to save room for the main event which is the whiskey cake!!! And it is still as amazing as it was when I first had it back in 2020. I came here alone while waiting for a friend to arrive in town. I sat outside so I could people watch. It was a great solo date night. I sipped some Woodford to help rinse down my whiskey cake and it was really just a great trip. Everything was fantastic!!!

    The favorite place to be in Tampa! Before departure or upon arrival, we are here enjoying something new, fresh, and fabulous. Always, always, everytime, enjoy the Whiskey Cake! The Cold Fashion is a new whiskey drink we enjoyed, cold cream and coffee pires on the whisky with bitters. Talk about creamy and smooth spirits. Food! Yes, gotta eat, something delicious: salads, entrees, farm fresh veggies, Gruyère, candied bacon, oh my! Ask Ross, our server, for his help on favorites. Be prepared for subdues lighting, uptempo music, friendly vibes.

    Farmer's Breakfast
    Kevin G.

    Decided to have brunch and it was a very relaxed atmosphere on a busy day. I don't know if the bun was fresh made, but it was the best hamburger bun I've ever had. I must say the bread made the burger. The pressed juice flight was interesting but not for me, it was less juice IMO. The homemade potatoes were a great compliment to the burger and a better spin than fries. Our server was busy but he was very responsive and professional.

    I was out Christmas shopping and decided to stop in for dinner. Julia was our server and she was very friendly and helpful. Started out with the goat cheese appetizer and it was delicious.! I could have stopped there lol. So creamy and warm and full of garlic. Mmmmm I had the salmon and my husband had the turkey chili. The salmon had a bit of spice but it was perfect for me. Cooked perfectly at medium. If you want a more dry cut, ask them to cook it longer. I prefer the medium cook. The Turks chili was good. A little sweet for me. I prefer a smoked flavor but I would still order it. It has a lot of meat and beans to fill you up. I love sitting outside to people watch and enjoy dinner. I'll definitely return.

    Steak Frites
    Karson O.

    Overall: I went here while on a work trip. This restaurant is situated in a bit of an outdoor mall area, but the inside feels like a stand alone place. The food and service were both good, though the food ended up being on the expensive side. I'd go back if i'm ever in the area. Food: 4 Drinks: 3 Service: 4 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Food: I really enjoy comfort food and there were several options that caught my eye. I ended up going with the steak frites. It was a simple steak with a tallow chimichurri sauce, parmesan fries, and shishito peppers. The steak was nicely cooked and the sauce was deliciously savory with a brightness to it. The fries were a little bland, they didn't really have any parmesan flavor. The shishitos were a nice touch but I wish there were a few more. Drinks: They have a very extensive whiskey menu. I ended up just ordering a beer, but the menu was kind of thin. Service: My waitress was very friendly and checked in on me frequently. I was one of her few tables but I got plenty of attention. Value: I got upcharged because I guess I asked for the large steak (I wasn't aware there were sizes) and my full bill after tax and tip was $70. I ordered one of the most expensive things on the menu (~$35), but it felt like a bit of a rip off for that to go up to $47. Atmosphere: The restaurant was huge with an outdoor bar area. It was dimly lit with individual light fixtures on each table. I seemed like a bit of a family restaurant with an old time tavern feel. It was a monday night so the place was pretty empty, but it didn't feel deserted like those restaurants can sometimes feel.

The restaurant was very clean and had such a cozy, welcoming vibe, making it the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a great breakfast. I ordered the Lumberjack, and everything came out great. The eggs were cooked perfectly and placed on top of the mashed potatoes--not cooked together--but honestly, it still worked really well and tasted amazing. One thing I really liked is that you can sub the biscuit for French toast or pancakes. I chose the French toast, but the Lumberjack is so much food that it was honestly hard to even get to it . Everything was delicious, and I'd give this place a 10 out of 10--I'll definitely be back. Shoutout to our waitress Sienna, who was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, recommended a bunch of great options, and made deciding easy. She checked on us often and even brought out a new syrup they make for us to try, which was so good. This place will definitely be seeing more of me!

A full service bar and restaurant on one side and a lounge type atmosphere on the other side with a live DJ. They play a variety of rnb and hip hop from old school to modern day. I really had a nice time. The reason only 4 stars was due to the host not being actively present at the reception area when you walk in. He was too busy on the lounge side dropping it like it was hot and helping the bottle girls "hold" the sign. We stood at the host stand upon entry for a while until someone went to get him from the other side. The food was just "ok". For the price of the food I expected more. I had the lemon pepper honey wings and the chicken and French toast. The wings were not cooked through and served in a bowl which made it very difficult to eat. It came with 2 cornbread muffins that were dense and very dry. The French toast was great. I opted for the one with peaches and icing. It was great. It was served with chicken tenders. Again, in a bowl, which made it very difficult to cut, as I had to dig in the bowl. They were ok, a little on the dry side, the breading was falling off but they were edible. The drinks were flowing and the vibe was good. No complaints there. Would I go back??? Yes, I'll probably try something different on the menu. I feel like if the service was a bit better, more attention to detail on the food and the plating of food was different it would have earned 5 stars. But I had an overall nice time.

    Overall, I'm very happy that this place is at Armature Works…read more I like to try to eat healthy when I'm out and about and also eat high protein, I found my options at Armature Works is kind of limited based on these two criteria. I'm glad Graze exists, because I feel like they have quite a few options that meet what I'm looking for. This time I got a kale Caesar with blackened Ahi tuna on it. The Ahi tuna was absolutely delicious. I found the kale Caesar had a bit too much sauce, it tasted extra cheesy to me, so I think this Caesar sauce which is homemade has quite a bit of cheese in it for those of you who may not be big cheese fans. What would have made this five stars is if it had less sauce, so next time I might ask for the dressing on the side so I can control putting it on myself. I appreciate that they text you when your order is ready so you can walk around, I was able to go back to my table and sit with the family until my order was ready. Some of the stalls do not open until 11 AM, but Graze opens before that, probably because they have breakfast options. If you're looking for a healthy place at Armature Works, I would highly recommend here.

    THE BEST CHICKEN CAESAR WRAP IN TAMPA! I loveee a chicken kale Caesar salad/wrap and this truly was…read moreone of the best that I've had. The kale was massaged perfectly, and you could tell it was fresh, it wasn't soggy at all. I got the crispy chicken and it was well seasoned. the chicken/kale ratio was perfecttttt. Also, the sweet potato fries were absolutely amazing!
