Moved here about a year ago, been driving by this place every day. Tonight my wife and I stopped in really not expecting much, or so wrong. Clean, no smell, staff smiling, happy, so welcoming. We sat inside, tables a good distance apart from each other, they clearly value each customer, not each dollar. Nice patio outside over looking the water. Food, we started with artichoke dip, wow so good, cheesy, served with toast, a great shareable appetizer. Dinner I had street bang shrimp tacos, and my wife had the royal with cheese burger. Fresh cook, this is not a kitchen that is reheating or use microwave's. Their cooking staff cares. Fresh, simple and so plated, excellent. Wait staff, friendly, but not hovering, our waitress, amazing. Smiling checking in but not overwhelming. This is a wonderful little gem in Port Orchard, and a nice nod to the movie Pulp Fiction read more

Whiskey Gulch - Bars Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

Whiskey Gulch has some customer service work to do!! The food looked amazing, but unfortunately, I didn't get to try it due to a complete service breakdown. While dining with a friend, I told our server I'd be placing a to-go order halfway through my drink, but he disappeared for over 45 minutes. I eventually had to flag down another server to place my order--an A mushroom burger, a Zeus salad with gyro meat, and a bacon cheeseburger(no cheese) --while also requesting a box and the check for my friend. After waiting another 25 minutes with no updates, we had to ask a third person for the check because my friend's baby was getting restless.Our original server finally returned and casually mentioned he had been on break, never having passed our table off to anyone else. When I asked about my food, he realized the second server never even entered the order into the system. He offered to "rush" the items, but after already waiting nearly 40 minutes for an order that was never started, I wasn't willing to wait another 30 minutes. It was incredibly frustrating to walk away empty-handed after spending 90 minutes dealing with a lack of basic communication and follow-through. It was a beautiful outside and was really nice to sit outside and look at the ocean, not super comfortable seats but the view makes up for it. 2 stars because my vodka lemonade was good, the staff is friendly but just all over the place and such bad communication. read more

First of all, the location on the water in beautiful, even at light. I had a delish Red Wine Poached Pear & Goat Cheese (GF, V) $20.00 Fresh pears poached in red wine, candied walnuts, heirloom tomatoes and goat cheese crumbles. Served with a blueberry citrus vinaigrette. And next visit was... O' Captain, My Captain (GF) $21.00 Blackened salmon, crispy bacon, avocado, aged blue cheese crumbles, tomatoes, charred corn, pickled onion and a sliced hardboiled egg. Served with house-made honey lemon vinaigrette. It was fantastic and both very fresh salads. My hubby ordered the cheeseburger and fries and said it was great. It was a nice ambience and vibe, not crazy loud and it was relaxing. as we enjoyed the views. We could hold a conversation without obnoxious people ruining our dinner. You can go casual or a little dressed up. As a woman with long hair I like to style it and wear nice tops, jeans, boots or trendy sandals depending on the weather. There aren't a lot of places to go around here where you can go casual or dressed up. The beer was good and the lemon drop was great on the second time. As we left, the owner or manager said thank you for coming and had a great smile. We will be returning for sure. read more

We arrived on a Saturday night looking for a table for 6-it was crowded but we were happily seated in the perfect alcove. Our served Jay brought us a great selection of beers and we were told that dinner was 50 minutes out. We ordered quickly and knew we would have a wait which was no big deal. Some of our friends walked outside to lii st the views which the others sat and visited. I don't think we waited 50 minutes but regardless the food was great! The sweet potato tacos on flour tortillas, mushroom burger and wedge salad were all outstanding! Thanks to Noah (manager) for making our friend's birthday fantastic!! read more

Excellent clam chowder. Best we had in the area of 3 places. Salad and burgers excellent. Parking can be a challenge sometimes so get there early. I would def return when next in area. read more

We love Whiskey Gulch. The patio in the summer months is the place to be. Their salads are huge and delicious. Burgers are legit and street tacos are fire. This time we got IPAs and French 75s. Staff is generally pretty good. The only thing is parking gets tight in that little lot. Sometimes you have to park father down the beach at the public lot but it's not a far walk. One of my favorite restaurants in Port Orchard! read more

The food was excellent. We had the onion rings which come with a nice large size serving of ranch the artichoke dip, amazing flavor, large bread toasted and they corn beef and sauerkraut rolls to dip in ranch was amazing. Clam chowder and chili were both excellent. Everything comes with a nice size side not these little tiny dips that you get everywhere else. read more

My daughter, wife, and I stopped at the Gulch for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The bartender came out from behind the bar and promptly sat us at a high-top table. The dining room had a blindingly bright view of the inlet, with most tables occupied. We ended up all ordering the same Royale with cheese burger, but each with a different side. I ordered tater tots and added bacon to the burger. My daughter got fries, and my wife got onion rings. We all enjoyed our burgers, but felt the special sauce was a little too heavy on the mustard. The onion rings and tater tots were disappointing. I guess fries are the way to go here. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Would rate lower across the water but may be one of the better spots around. First impression with the service wasn't the best as the greeter avoided eye contact and grumpily seated us. Turns out he was hangry as we saw him chow down and then displayed better service to others. Our actual server was wonderful though, she checked on us often and was very helpful. WG House Party Dip - crustinis here were toasted perfectly, crispy bread with a delicateness in the center. Paired amazing with the creamy, cheesy, artichoke dip. Definitely piping hot, so burned my mouth a bit because I was excited to eat. Artichoke is generally faint in flavor so it's here for texture and healthy balance, but very delicious. 'SS' Salmon BLT - love me a salmon and love me a BLT, so this caught my eye. While pretty tasty, I think a taller salmon filet as prepared here is a nuisance to eat. Taller burgers or sandwiches tend to be annoying and the block of salmon here isn't any different, so wish there was some compression. Taste was excellent though, the salmon was tender and juicy. Bacon added nice fattiness alongside flavors and texture. Would skip this in favor of other items. Dude's Loaded Wild Mushroom - this burger was juicy! Comes with raw onions and pickles on the side which is nice because they're definitely the more controversial items. Caramelized onions in the burger add juiciness and sweetness which enhanced everything. There was an abundance of mushrooms, so definitely very loaded. They were delicious too, umami and tender. Would be inclined to order this again, safe option for those open to mushrooms. read more

Gorgeous location, excellent service, horrible food and drink. Here's what we ordered: clamp chowder, Boondock Irish Rolls, Blood & Smoke, and a Paloma con Fuego. All were pretty terrible, cold chowder, soggy rolls, bug in my drink. So we opted for house red and called it a night. The house red was good. read more

We arrived on a Friday around noon, place was super busy but Michael (bar tender) greeted us at door and sat us. He was very enthusiastic and recommended food and drinks. During our stay he checked on us multiple times, made sure we had drinks and was one of the best servers we've ever had. He recommended the cucumber lemon drop to for me, delicious! Food was delicious and portions huge. We will definitely be back, the view and atmosphere is amazing! Thanks Michael! read more

Whiskey Gulch - Royale with cheese, onion rings - Bars Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

Have lived in Kitsap County for 24 years and this is my first time at this establishment. I was attending a women's lunch gathering. I had never driven out on Bay Drive or I would have been familiar with the location. A table was set up, there were about 18 in the group. Our waiter Ken was outstanding!! As each person arrived he approached to take a drink order. He was funny, friendly and exhibited outstanding customer service. He managed 18 individual checks. The menu consists of a varied selection of dishes. They have a full bar if a cocktail is desired. I ordered a wedge salad. What was incredible is that all 18 orders came out at the same time. Impressive! The portions are generous. The wedge was a large piece of iceberg lettuce dressed in bacon, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles and delicious dressing. My friend ordered a shawarma , it came with giant onion rings which she said they were amazing. The French fries were the talk of the table. They are crisp and seasoned, delicious. This restaurant sits right on the water, bright inside with windows all along the front giving diners incredible views. Look forward to coming back and sitting outside. There is parking in the front and on the side of the building. What stood out for me was the outstanding customer service , delicious food, great views and varied menu. I noticed a constant stream of customers and it was after 1 pm. This is definitely a local favorite. So glad I found this place. When in PO, strongly recommended a stop for a meal or beverage! read more

Great place with good food and service. Only complaint is the metal chairs are not comfortable!!

We were looking forward to trying this place. Got there and ordered and waited about 1 hour and then the waitress came back and said it would be another 30-40 minutes for our food. It was really weird as it almost felt like they didn't serve minorities. Waitress just said do you want it to go or do you want to just cancel the order. It was pretty weird to me but either way I won't be coming back read more

I took my mother to Whiskey Gulch on Sunday because she loves these kinds of Bar & Grills. We were not disappointed. I am grateful that the restaurant has parking not only to the side, but at the front. The side parking was full, so we would have had a lengthy walk had it not been for the strip of spaces along the front. The restaurant has a lovely view of the water and kitschy, hip decorations. Our servers were friendly, attentive, and seemed to be having a lot of fun. Being a stick-in-the mud, I ordered coffee. Nonna Diane opted for a whiskey drink called Smoke and Blood. She enjoyed it and got a kick out of the presentation. Because it was our first time, we were offered a free starter. We picked the Irish Eggrolls. These are excellent. If you are in the area and looking for a St. Patrick's Day spot, Whiskey Gulch also has a Reuben which can be paired with these. They were flavorful, crisp, and the corn beef was juicy. The burgers come with potato chips unless you add on another side like fries, tots, or onion rings. There are also other menu options like salads, tacos, and sandwiches. Some options are vegetarian. I selected the Royale with Cheese and added on fries. Nonna Diane had a burger called the Afterschool Special, which has a peanut butter sauce. Both burgers seemed to use a char-broil cooking method. Although my burger was the simpler option, it was very satisfying, and it was comforting to know that it also exists in France. We look forward to visiting again soon. read more

Had a great Experience here. Food was great. And a step up from other places in the area. Bartenders Dan and macro were both amazing. Friendly, warm and knowledgeable about the area and their whiskey. Highly recommend. They also had a good selection of generally less available whiskeys. Most of the EH Taylor and Weller lineups. Jack 10 and 12. Etc at fair prices for generous pours read more

Food was excellent. Had a corned beef sandwich on rye that was perfect blend of savory with the pickled sauerkraut. Dan the bar manager was exceptional sever also tending bar while the lunch service was not too busy. Dan was very knowledgeable about the different types of whiskey available and provided excellent recommendations on the menu. The decor was very similar to the local small bars in WA with good seating without being too crowded. Great large windows with exceptional views of Puget sound. Plenty of parking available on site. read more

My boyfriend and I always make sure to hit up the Gulch when we're in the area. The buffalo wings here are a must-order and they make a mean spicy Bloody Mary poured real heavy. As far as burgers, the Royals and the Pig Deal are both great. Some other favorites are the Bourbon Street Poppers and the Asian Ahi Salad. The servers are always nice and they bring the food out quick. Great spot for catching the Mariners games! read more

One of my favorite spots for a burger and drink. Can't beat the view, can't beat the fun ambiance. If you want a quiet meal, go somewhere else... You wanna have fun, come here! The servers are all friendly, relaxed and good people. I'm never unhappy, even when they get my order wrong... I just get a glass of wine and wait... (I often order to go, but live up the street) My friend is coming up from Cali and can't wait to bring her and her family here! One night maybe just her and I, sit on the deck with a bottle of wine and share a plate... girls night out... Can't wait! read more

We tried this cafe for the first time tonight. The fries were great; thick cut and (maybe) battered. My wife liked her mushroom burger except the mushrooms had a different (thicker) texture than she's used to. My tossed green salad with grilled salmon on top was good. Our server was outstanding - friendly and attentive and got our orders just right. The reason for the 3 stars is this: have you ever been in a restaurant where they're playing some music and there's good energy / ambiance then some guy sitting near you pulls out his phone and starts listening to some other music he prefers? That's pretty rude, in my opinion. Well, at this cafe the (open) kitchen plays their own music while the rest of the place hears another source of music. From where we sat we could hear them both. It's like when you go to a huge store to buy a tv and multiple tvs are showing different channels. Cacophony. If you don't mind this, try the Whiskey Gulch. read more

The menu is excellent, service is amazing & you can bring your dogs!!! The server even brought out extra water for our pups! The vibe is relaxed but a little bit upscale. I would feel comfortable being dressed casual to after a wedding. I'll snap pictures next time. read more

Four of us had an excellent meal here on a Saturday evening. Started with amazing wings and a collection of great sauces which went well with our Local Only $20 whiskey flight and some great cocktails. Every food item was excellent; a flank steak salad, a hand carved gyros, and a couple of different burgers. Great location on the water looking across the bay at the shipyard. And the service was excellent and prompt. read more

First time at Whiskey Gulch and it was so good!!! We had great service from Jesse - made a great recommendation with the wing appetizer and blacken salmon salad! We finished with dessert, which came in a lil garbage can and was so cute! Our bartender Nate suggested the a pink starburst which set the mood for the night! Will definitely be back read more

We just had dinner there Saturday and the service was awful... We ordered two salads a bowl of soup a Reuben sandwich and an appetizer it took over 45 minutes from seating to food. Not any acknowledgment from the server or management on the time delay. People came sad ate and left before our food arrived at our table and that was after I had to flag down the server and ask what the status was. My wife said it would have been faster if we got up off the table went outside came back in got receded and ordered. I am giving them a three-star because the food was good but service sucked. They have point of sale machine as well as a platter to arrange food prior to serving... Surely no one was watching why food was taken so long. read more

The Whiskey Gulch CoffeePub (which is it a coffee shop or a pub??) was interesting....Cute place, Lots of seating (Even outside on the balcony where you can watch the ferry go back and forth), great beer choices, and lots of yummy apps to choose from (we tried the Boondock Irish Rolls-good!). But the food menu is weird-things that don't seem to go together (Ground chicken patty with spam and pineapple). But our group was up for trying a new place and new foods! The Luau burger (chicken and spam) was undercooked and pink inside-yuck! The Gyro was so overcooked that the meat was almost jerky like. And my "Black N Blue" salad had huge chunks of tough steak nuggets on a mound of greens that were not trimmed or cut. The servers were incredibly nice, and seemed genuinely happy to see us. But it took forever to order, to get our drinks, and to checkout. One important warning-the parking lot is dirt with huge potholes and difficult to park in, and the dirt walkway to/from the "coffeepub" was even worse-I don't think anyone with difficulties walking would be able to comfortably access it without slipping or falling. read more

We came here on a sunny afternoon, so we wanted to sit on the patio. We were sitted right next to the water and it was beautiful! Food: order a couple of drinks, order the Bourbon street poppers - bacon wrapped jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese. The peppers were crunchy, spicy and soft with flavor inside and the bacon made it better. Came with the rice that surprising goes well with poppers. We had the pig deal with Cajun tots - the burger looked gorgeous when it was served to us. Fluffy , glistening.bun made our mouth water. However it looked better than it tasted. The pulled pork had a lot of fatty gristle and very bland. However the tots were crunchy and hot and fairly flavorful. We also ordered the Hot Diego - the chicken burger was a little bland, way too much mustard and not enough spiciness for what the description was. The only spicy flavor I could taste was from the peppers, if you were lucky to get in your bite. Service - was decent. They were busy but attended to us in a timely manner, but gave us time to take in the view of the water. read more
