Of course good meat! Ordering sides is annoying. Waiter more interested in talking to co-workers than ever coming back to our table. No water refills or nothing. Kinda embarrassing because I brought out of state visitors. read more

My husband took me here for a date night. It was so busy! They have patio with space heaters which was nice since not a lot of people sat out there. I was worried I would be cold but I wasn't. The drinks were kind of expensive. I had the steak, which was okay. I was expecting to be blown away by it but it was just okay. My husband liked his burger. We probably won't go back but like I said, the food was okay. Honestly nothing special. read more

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. They were friendly and helpful with our food order. The restaurant is comfortable and has a rustic feel. We enjoyed our meal very much. read more

Customer service was great but the food was bland and the mash potatoes was salty. It'll taste better if the brisket was moist and have more flavor and softer. The Mac n cheese was dry and need more flavor, the mash potatoes was very salty. The lobster roll was dry and need more flavor. read more

Wow! What a great place! The 4 of us got seated right away and just in time for the end of happy hour. They have great appetizer and drink deals and of course we took advantage of that. Drinks were yummy and the food was so tasty! If came out in a timely manner and was showcased well. We order meals and loved those too! Our server was nice and very accommodating for our needs! The wall of whiskeys was fun to look at and the bathroom signs are a good laugh! read more

Came here with a few co-workers after work for drinks. We'd already done lunch, but I was still hungry, so I ordered a cup of chili. It was very nicely spiced, but not overly so. A good helping of beans and chopped brisket were present in the chili. As the brisket is smoked, it imparted a nice flavor unlike any other chili I've had before. As the picture shows, it comes topped with cheese and green onion. Sour cream is also offered, but I declined. I'm not a whiskey aficionado, so I can't really comment on the selection and whether or not its sufficient, though they do have a long listing. They did have a delicious craft beer from Minnesota on tap. I unfortunately don't remember the name. It was an amber; full and rich in both color and flavor. Something to sip and enjoy; not one to slam down. I greatly enjoyed the ambiance. The fireplaces and collection of oddities, such as old typewriters, books, and other artifacts make for an eclectic environment that is definitely worth checking out. Great addition to this part of town; I'm sure no one misses the Applebees that used to be here. read more

Food is always on the rare side, especially the meat... but if that's what you're looking for then this is your kind of place

Absolutely love the vibe of this place. It's the perfect date night spot with delicious cocktails & an extensive whiskey selection. Our favorite time to go for food is weekday lunch, they have great deals with generous portions. We haven't had the best experience with dinner so we stick to drinks & apps & have loved the experience. There's not a lot in the way of gluten free so be prepared for a limited selection! read more

Amazing food at fair prices!! Best service in the area as they always are staffed appropriately. read more

Went here for a second time during their late night happy hour. We got the half price steaks. $40 steak for $20. This was the best steaks we have had in a long time. Better than Manny's. We found our new favorite steak place. Service was great too. read more

This is a great new place that you must check out! I loved my shrimp and grits - amazing and soo much flavor! We also got the Ceasar salad and I wasn't a fan. It comes as a big head of lettuce that you have to chop yourself. I might as well eat at home. My friend ordered the Jackfruit Carne Asada tacos. I had never heard of Jack fruit before but these tacos were amazing! Spicy and juicy and everything delicious. Environment is nice! Cool decor!! Will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. read more

Their smoked brisket and pork is truly out of this world. I will definitely be coming back!

The brisket nachos are awesome! Although it's listed as a shareable, I wasn't sharing. I probably should have shared. It was a huge plate! So very tasty. My Donny companion loved the fried chicken dinner too. The cocktails were really great. A perfect Saturday afternoon spot to stop. read more

Well, a manager reached out to me... I reached back out and have heard nothing at all. I reached out again and same thing. Normally when they say you will hear from someone, you don't expect it to be 5 months. Very disappointed and my 1 Star has to stand I guess as there isn't an option to drop it to zero. Looks like the service matches the culinary abortion-like food we were served. read more

So I'm torn on the rating of this place. I've been here a few times, once before covid and once after during the restriction; the high rating is because of after they really stepped up their game. Both times we had reservations. The first time the brisket nachos were amazing but the service was very slow and the rest of our meal was only ok. We just went back on 7/31/20 for the food truck and to meet friends with the reservation on the patio. We arrived for the food truck at 5:03, which it said they opened at 5. There was a line and most of the seats were taken, some by people who hadn't even ordered; that was annoying. You shouldn't be able to sit till you order but whatever. We sat in line, as we wanted to try the mac & cheese brisket sandwich. We ordered it, I got it with cheddar instead of American (which they forgot that slice so it came without). We got the sandwich at 5:21, which was over 10 min as the line went fast for us. The sandwich was ok, it needed bbq or something. I would of thought with the gouda sauce, which is amazing, it would of been good but the noodles really plained the sauce flavor. But we split that and checked in for our reservation. We walked through the restaurant going in by the patio, I noticed there was a firepit table open for 4, and really the only 4 top under the covering (which was requested on our reservation). When I checked in the girl asked if we'd be ok under an umbrella on the blacktop as there was nothing under the cover. I asked about the table I just saw, and was polite about it to see if it was still available. We got escorted to that table (the firepit) which was good as the blacktop is hot and the umbrellas really don't cover much plus I was still warm from being in the sun earlier from the food truck area. The service was amazing, the food was good. The server politely talked to us about our reservation time (which we didn't even know about) as we were past the limit. We graciously paid our check and sat by the big firepit to listen to music and finish our drinks that we had just received before she asked. read more

The drinks and the food we had here was all great! A huge selection of whiskey and staff that is knowledgeable to recommend drinks/whiskeys. I got the lobster roll because I wasn't in the mood for bbq and I really liked it! It came with a lot of pickled onions, but they are easy to take off. The Mac and cheese was so delicious as well. read more

Whiskey Inferno - Lobster roll and Mac and cheese - Steakhouses Near Me - Savage, Minnesota

I've been here a few times when visiting relatives nearby and the service and food have always been fabulous. Most recently, I visited with a group of 12. The waiter was calm and composed and checked in with our table frequently. When we finished dining, we requested the tab be split several ways and the waiter did so flawlessly without a single error. If you have never had a popover, this is the place to order it from! It's crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. It even comes with honey butter. Half of my group ordered the dry rub chicken wings and had raving reviews about them. They are smoked first and then fried- phenomenal taste! read more

Use to be a solid 5 for happy hour. Then they updated their HH times to only go to 5pm and removed most the HH menu options. Killed HH and now we don't go much. But : Cocktails are great. 5 out of 5. Food is solid. 4 out of 5. Kid food is great. 5 out of 5 Their indoor/outdoor hybrid space is great. Disappointment with the changed Happy Hour makes me sad. :) read more

Really enjoy having a night out here. Never had a problem with the food or drinks. The staff have always been really nice.

Love the beer and a bump option where you can order a beer and a shot of alcohol to go with! Very fun specialty whiskey bar with an awesome happy hour. We ordered two nachos for the group. 241 on certain drinks for happy hour also! read more

We visited here in November l. They had plenty of room for distancing. They set up an outdoor patio with tenting to accommodate everyone. They have ample parking. They have a large menu, both food and drinks. Their whiskey drinks are good, and their whiskey selection is impressive! Food was decent. read more

Whiskey Inferno - Patio heated seating - Steakhouses Near Me - Savage, Minnesota

Gosh. What's not to love at whiskey inferno? Coworker happy hour? Perfect spot! Two for 1 beer and wine and appetizer deals. Husband is out of town? Kid''s meals are 7.95 with the choice of hot dog, burger, ribs, steak, pizza, or Mac and cheese. Plus a side. AND A COOKIE. And a drink. Their blueberry lemonade is now my daughter's favorite sip. Friday night And I don't want to cook?! Also perfect. Ribs, steak, salmon, nachos as big as my torso- it's all amazing. Favorite bites- smokehouse nachos with brisket are TO DIE FOR. And easily enough food for 2 adult entrees. If you eat on tiny person schedules and can make it before 5 to snag happy hour price for 10 bucks- that's even better. Ribs are glorious. Chocolate cake made my son cry when I took the last bite. Smoked Manhattan is a fun drink to try if you're into the bourbon scene. We are now officially regulars and will definitely be back soon. read more

I've been coming here for years and never gave a review but yesterday came with 6 people. Party of 6 has automatic 20%. The worst part is 20% was charged on a normal price items not promotional. How does that make sense. You pay tip based on a normal price not a price of food that you are running promotion on? It's like paying sales tax on regular price item not what the item's price is. Horrible! I'll be changing places. Businesses like restaurants are fading out and pulling this kind of shi.. will definitely not help to bring customers back, like us every weekend spending close to half a G every time. read more

Calling all whiskey connoisseurs! This place has a very extensive whiskey selection with decent prices. Ended up getting a rye flight with 3 glens. The food was also very delicious. We had the Saint Louis Ribs as well as the bacon brisket burger. The meat was smoked to perfection and fell right off the bone. Service was prompt and friendly. It was my birthday, and they brought out free cheesecake for dessert. I will definitely be adding this to my list of go to's for the future. Highly recommend! read more

I really wanted to like Whiskey Inferno! A coworker raved about it at work today saying it was the best barbecue he'd had in Minnesota, and we needed a last-minute dinner plan - so it seemed like the stars had aligned. We made a 6 pm dinner reservation and were sat immediately on the patio when we arrived. This isn't completely their fault because bugs will be bugs, but - there were so many flies I almost asked to sit indoors. If not for COVID, I would have. That aside, we perused the menu and I was bummed to see that you can't order pulled pork as a main for dinner. You could get it by customizing one of their sandwiches, but the waitress was lukewarm (though nice) about it so I decided to go with the fried chicken with smoked gouda mac and cheese as a side (along with the mashed potatoes). We also each ordered a cocktail and shared the cornbread skillet. The flavor of our drinks was about a 3/5. My G&T was super sweet, and served in a wine glass that had some kind of fibers floating in it and around the rim (assumed a drying rag and drank it anyway). My husband's drink was a pretty standard old fashioned. I expected better for his drink because it was whiskey-based. Onto the food. The cornbread skillet was a solid 4/5 - warm, great texture, generous portion. I don't love cornbread with corn in it, but I assumed it'd have it so that's on me. Our main dishes were really what brought us to the 2/5 rating. My husband had the brisket club which was dry and had a strong artificial smoke flavor (which was surprising). I had the fried chicken and it was...just not good. It was pretty dry and flavorless, and some of it was clearly overcooked under the breading. At most, I had maybe 10 bites. The mashed potatoes were dry and the gouda mac had a good flavor but was super gritty (almost like they used too much flour to thicken the sauce). My favorite part of our mains had to be the sweet potato fries - those were a solid 5/5 delicious. Needless to say, the $76 bill did not match the quality. I hope in the future, Whiskey Inferno focuses on two things: knocking their whiskey cocktails out of the park, and simple yet delicious smoked mains. Forget the fish. Forget the sandwiches with three kinds of meat. Forget fried chicken. Just smoke anything good here and serve it alone. read more

You need a hostess stand outside! Not sure why you don't. It's an inconvenience to your customers to make us walk inside and go to the front hostess to follow her back outside. Change your policy and I'll change my review. read more

I've had 3 meals from Whiskey Inferno. 1 lunch, 1 dinner, 1 take-out. ~Lunch: Ugh/mediocre for 3 of us. It wasn't busy, but service was very slow, and food was served lukewarm. For Reuben sandwich aficionados, worst I've had anywhere. Companions thought their food was, "It's, uh, fine! Don't complain!" ~Dinner: Daughter and I came in late (moving week from hell), and were shocked that they had 1/2 price steaks after 9 PM! Service was extremely slow, and it wasn't busy at all. Our drink delivery (kiddie cocktail and a glass of wine) took 15 minutes. Our appetizer came 5 minutes before our dinners. Took 15 minutes to get our tab because we couldn't find the server. ~Take-out: I was *very* surprised that they offered the 9 PM+ 1/2 price steaks for take-out! I wasn't even planning to order one when I called! I only wanted smoked chicken wings a friend had recommended! I specifically asked for the chicken wings with no sauce ON them, BBQ sauce on the side. My wings came drenched in BBQ sauce. :-( The Mac'n'Cheese is so bland. Not recommended. Mashed potatoes vary between bland and too garlicky. Will I go there again? Yes. Do I have high expectations? Not really. read more

The resturants decor was very nice. They have a large variety of cocktails and Whiskeys. The staff was good and the food came out pretty quick. The food was disappointing and was mediocre at best. Smokehouse sandwich - 2/5 The meat was a little mushy and did not have anything resembling sliced brisket and it also had bone fragments in it. Chili - 3/5 It had decent flavor but came out lukewarm. Buffalo smoked wings - 2/5 The wings were cook decent but the sauce was salty and had a wierd bitter taste to them. Fries - 4/5 They were fresh cut and probably double fried for extra crispness. read more

Absolutely amazing lunch experience. Riley the manager went above and beyond to assure our experience was perfect. Great wait staff and the FOOD...our table had smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese, Pork Belly BLT, Smoked Reuben and Po Boy. Every item was delicious. Popovers are a must. And the cocktails were the icing on the cake. We will be back. read more

Whiskey Inferno - Tequila Old Fashioned, Inferno Old Fashioned, Bloody Mary - Steakhouses Near Me - Savage, Minnesota

Went for lunch again. Service was spectacular and food ok, nice ambiance. I've had better food here. Brisket of beef is a favorite of mine. I eat here a few times a year. Would probably eat there more often. My midday meal is my meal of the day. Better to go later in the day when possible. Go early and it seems like they've reheated their brisket from the day before - dry, crusty and chewy, and I mean chewy. This has happened more than once. Even the French fries were soggy this time. Felt like a day old. I'll be back but moving forward will be early dinner only. read more

Whiskeys until you drop or bbq food till the sweats get to you. You're choice but you're going to love it either way. This place was recommended because of a sister company (Bourbon butcher) highly recommend going. Food! When you look at the menu, past all of the whiskey and drinks. You get to the food ! It's set up into sections-Apps / small plates from "ashes" "fire" "sea". I recommend the inferno steak tips. Little spicy and perfectly seasoned steak with a great white Bama dipping sauce. Then dont forget but you must get the corn bread skillet with honey butter, it sells itself. Then you get soups ,salads, chili sandwiches. Then to the best part. The mail courses. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the butchers feast. It's$65$ but you get every cent possible out of this feast. Start out with a slab a St. Louis style ribs. A mound of pulled pork, mound of some of the best brisket with a good amount of buttery fat. Three links of jalapeño cheddar elk sausage. Cornbread skillet mashed potatoes and mac & cheese and a mound of fries. And don't forget the baked beans. You get so Much food. If you share with 1 other person your going to have leftovers for 2 full meals for each of you. ( worth it ) I think it can feed 4 people. The ribs were pull apart but smoked well enough that they keep there shape. Very flavorful and not over dry. The pulled pork was good but ok compared to the ribs or brisket. Next is the brisket the perfect amount of fat. Yes you eat the charged and smoked fat. It melts in your mouth and taste like butter. My brisket was not over fatty, not like other places where you barley get any meat. The elk sausage I actually ate as left overs and was the best snack cold. The corn bread Was 10/10. You can tell it was from a skillet and the butter puts it's over the top on flavor. The mashed potatoes were garlicky in a good way. Beans were thick and harty and the MAC was cheesy. Overall it's worth it and a must try. Gives you a glimpse of everything they have on the menu. Whiskey! They have a great selection that you can see on the huge wall of liquor. Great recommendations for a good price is weller, eagle rare and blanton's. The have a good selection of buffalo trace products. I would also recommend there old fashioned, they have a great Barrell pick that you try for yourself. It's all about tasting the bourbon while you have an old fashioned. Service. We had a great bartender on our Sunday night. Recommend great whiskeys and drinks. Helped us decide on the feast and told us the story of how he saw two people take it down. I don't know how but it must be true. He took care of us and made us feel like a regular. Also good to talk to bartenders with knowledge on bourbons and can shoot ideas to get you to try others similar to what you like. My only complaint would be the bathrooms. Garbage was overfull with paper towels. This is why you have hand dryers. That's my recommendation because then you don't have a mess and it's Better for the environment. Also the toilet paper was out. And that's also difficult because there are 2 rolls .... read more

Mid steaks that either come out blue or medium when you order rare. Cold mac and cheese, and stolen pics on social media to promote their own food. (Stolen from another restaurant based in Texas, I called them out of FB and never got a response even though I posted the proof) The only bright side is the service is typically very good. 3/10 would not recommend, between the average food and scummy social media practices it's hard to support this "business" read more

Amazing food! The beef tips appetizer is simply the best appetizer anywhere. All the tastiness happens here.

My wife and I stopped in Sunday afternoon, and enjoyed Happy hour drinks, and appetizers. Food and service were outstanding. Friendly and professional staff. We had pig wings and cheese dip appetizers and they were so good, as were the drinks. Lots of TV screens to enjoy a variety of viewing. We'll definitely go back. Jim S read more

Food is delicious. Service is ordinary. Drinks are good. It's expensive. Ambiance is stark, modern. Enjoy.

It's always a nice surprise when you meal turns out better than expected. That's not to say we didn't expect a good meal, it was more of an unsure feeling. My brother in law wanted to try Whiskey Inferno for dinner after reading an article in the paper. Their initial YELP reviews were just ok. Somewhat limited, but just ok. Regardless it's usually fun to try new places. So we arrived on a Saturday just before 5pm and the parking lot was packed. That could be a good sign I thought. After a short wait we were seated. We had all done some research and knew what we were ordering. My brother in law had the brisket, his wife the burger, my wife the smokehouse nachos and I had the smokehouse sandwich and we started with the wings. The wings were very good. Smoked and then fried for a crispy exterior. They had a nice dry rub and were smoky and flavorful. Could have easily eaten more wings. The nachos came on a cookie sheet! This is seriously an order for the table. The nachos were good and we especially liked the smoked gouda cheese sauce. We heard the smoked burger had good flavor as none of us were able to sample the burger however I did get the bacon from the burger that I added to my smokehouse sandwich which was really good. The smokehouse sandwich had brisket, pulled pork, sausage, caramelized onions, pickles and then that bacon. Tons of flavor and meat and the briny pickles were the perfect compliment. Very good sandwich. The bun held up well with all that meat. The surprise to us was how good the brisket was. Usually unless you get brisket from a BBQ place, the brisket is average at best. The brisket at Whiskey Inferno was thick cut, moist and flavorful. Much better than expected. Thank you to my brother in law for sharing! Now I'm usually not a sauce fan but at the urging of my brother in law, I tried their BBQ sauce which was really good. Thick and rich, sweet and just a hint of heat. I would buy a bottle if it was available. As we finished our meal it continued to get busier. Very good meal and we would definitely come back here again. read more

Came for lunch on a Monday so not real busy. First impression the decor and layout is a 5++. This is a gorgeous restaurant. Service was also a 5. I ordered the brisket sandwich with brisket chili as a side. The chili was Luke warm but tasty making me wonder how good it would have been hot. My brisket sandwich was good real good and I would have liked a bit more bbq sauce served on the side. Pricing is reasonable. It was lunch so I didn't try any of the delicious craft cocktails. Thinking I want to go back for sure. Please try this restaurant it is locally owned and very stylish. read more

The food was good and service was good, but fell off pretty quickly. Our server's family was enjoying a meal and Service was great. Her family left and whoosh...she nearly vanished. My wife had green beans as a side, they were cold. They were replaced with hot ones. So far so good. Since it was date night we ordered dessert and coffee. Coffee came after awhile, dropped off and whoosh gone again. No asking if we wanted cream or sugar. She finally came by and my wife asked for cream and sugar. Whoosh she was off. She returned with the creamer and sugar, put it down and whoosh gone again. She NEVER brought us any spoons. So we stirred with my wifes dessert fork. My fork had been taken away with my chocolate cake (and I use that term lightly). My cake consisted of an inch of frosting, half inch of actual cake and a layer of mousse? This is their idea of chocolate layer cake? Layered with disappointment. One word summary - anticlimactic. read more

The service was wonderful! We ordered the smoked BBQ wings, bacon cheeseburger & smoked Gouda cheese burger with pork belly. The wings were cooked fully, however, it was not crispy it was sorted soggy. Both burgers were cooked perfectly, they were juicy, the bun was toasted to perfection but the burgers themselves was very 1 note, like they weren't seasoned. The pork belly that was in the smoked Gouda cheeseburger was hard like ham so when I bit into it, the whole piece of pork belly came out of the sandwich. Overall, not so bad but it wasn't amazing either. read more
