Visited 8/12/2023 Wow First visit to Whiskey River Steakhouse & Saloon Fantastic place to get a good meal. We love the hours and the friendly service. Small menu but packed with fresh made dishes. Sadly asked but didn't deliver the MediumRare burger we requested more like Medium Well Done. Everything else was Amazing. I Recommend The Stuffed Bacon Jalapeños. Fresh and Nice flavor. Onion Rings we're nicely done. The Star for me was The Porterhouse Pork Chop. Excellent and as were the Sautéed Mushrooms. Salads were fresh and crispy and the salad dressings tasted like homemade. Very refreshing. All in all a very nice restaurant. Can't wait to come back next time to enjoy more of the menu. read more

Great people, service & food at Whiskey River Steakhouse! Go support this local, small business!

I give facts. This is not meant to slam anyone. Went in with a large party. Approximately 20 people. We were assigned one server. This already was not a great idea. No matter how nice someone is, as a server, you can't handle 20 orders. This is why most restaurants have 1 server per 8 people. And that's being generous. From the time we sat down and ordered to the time we received our entree was 1 hour and 39 minutes. Food was not hot. My wife's ribeye came out warm towards being cold. That is now how steak should be served. To make matters worse, they completely forgot my entree, told me it was being made, and when I finally received it after the 2 hour mark, it was the incorrect entree. Regardless, I still left the waitress a tip because she was trying. But you can't expect exceptional service when a person is trying to handle 20 people. Maybe the size of the party was the issue. Maybe it was staffing. Lack of communication is the main culprit. Had we even been told that there was a delay, etc etc, that would have helped. We weren't. Instead cold food and missing entrees for 2 people is what happened. I can whole heartedly say I don't recommend large parties. Maybe as a small party, the experience will be better. I'll never know because I have no intention of ever going back. read more

Ambiance: super loud. Do not come here if you want to have a conversation. Service: ordered a baked potato, salad, and pasta. It's been an hour and we are still waiting. They say they are swamped, but we are the last three tables. I seriously just want to leave. It's 9:40‍ read more

If I could give this place double the stars I would food, service and overall experience was AMAZING. Came in hungry around 8:30 pm (group of 10) & we were seated right away on a Sunday night Labor Day weekend . Our waitress Abby and honestly the entire staff there were super welcoming and freaking awesome !!!! Thanks to everyone for making our late dinner such beautiful memorable night! Can't wait to come back . Also I must add HUGE PROPS to the chef + Kitchen the food was impeccable. read more

Food was great! Service was was good. It was a little loud but I think they were having a Halloween Party. I will definitely go back. read more

Decided to head out for dinner to get away from the junk food we brought. Lol Slow night on a Wednesday, but the food, drink and service were spot on. Had the filet mignon and it came prepared exactly as I requested with a dash of garlic butter on top. Excellent and my "compliments to the chef". Loaded baked potato, salad with homemade blue cheese and hot rolls with a garlic butter. Wife had an infused lemon drop and I stuck with a traditional Modelo. We come every year to Parker and now we're bringing our friend group. read more

This place is closed and for sale .The food WAS good and it's in a good location. I hope someone buys it soon

Breakfast -----THE BEST BISCUITS AND GRAVY EVER!!!!! I mean I literally had 1 bite of someone's a couple weeks back and have been salivating for an order of my own .. I finally did just that and it was EVERYTHING my mouth longed for haha... simply the best I heard the chef is JEFF I give you kuddos!! DINNER ---- had the filet mignon it was cooked PERFECTLY!!!! The calamari was a bit rubbery I would definitely take that off the menu ... -- wedge salad was great as well ...the sides were good overall great meal SERVICE--- Service is great !!! Friendly people.. OVERALL--- great place - great food - read more

Slow service. Poorly done food. Hard pass. The calamari was like rubber. Steaks were not cooked properly. The prices are highway robbery for the nasty quality they serve. Close it down and try again. read more

We stopped by tonight because Val hand picked 3+lb Tomahawks, and Jeff amazed as usual and cooked it to perfection! Basted with garlic butter and rosemary, excellent! The homemade clam chowder was a nice pairing also and was equally tasty. Now for dessert..... read more

First time at whisky rover since it was strikes and staff made us return to come back. We came with kids and could not have been treated better. Highly recommend. Pork chop 100% read more

This place is a joke. Don't waist your time. Food isn't worth the price . They don't have half the items on the menu. My steak was cold we waited over an hour and 15 min for salad waiting longer for our food. Server was casually rude. Garbage read more

A very well deserved 5 stars, Whiskey River has finally brought a decent dining establishment to Parker! Upon entry you are greeted by friendly staff with a smile, and immediately seated with a drink in front of you in no-time. Throughout your entire stay you feel like you're the only one there as the staff are very attentive even while filled with other patrons. The appetizers were excellent as well as the entrees. Has the intimate steakhouse feel with western decor. **The Southwest Eggrolls were excellent, Jalapenos poppers weren't too spicy and the Hanger Steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. Thanks WR & staff, we will be back next trip. read more

We have called and left several messages regarding our horrible service..we waited 30 minutes for our order to be taken. 30 min for our drinks to be served and I had to go and look for our waitress. Racial comments by the waitress saying she was behind because of the Mexicans. When I asked for our check nobody even asked why we were leaving. I asked for the manager and was told they were busy. There were 10 of us. If I was losing out on a $1000.00 sale I would try to make my customers happy. Nobody cared. Very sad! It would be nice to get a message returned. Regards, Joy Sturges-Reyes read more

Had dinner here on a weekend that was pretty crowded in Parker. We had a reservation and that made a big difference as many people were waiting to be seated and we were seated right away. Our server took our drink order immediately and then our dinner order when she brought the drinks to the table. Salads and bread came out quickly but we waited a long time for the entrees. The food was very fresh and really tasty! Because we waited so long our server offered us a free dessert for our patience. Carrot cake!! YUM!! 4 out of 5 stars because it's so loud we had to shout to hear each other even though we were sitting right next to each other. read more

Food is good, but way over priced, drinks are a good price though and there Bar girl ( Laura ) was amazing at being comically funny and made the experience a much better time being there read more

The food was disgusting. We didn't even eat it. The dinner menu has barely anything on it. You can't order burgers, sandwiches, or almost anything after 5pm. Unless you want a dry chewy steak. We had issues with rude staff last time we were here. Our entire large party all agreed we will never walk back in here. It has gone way downhill since the earlier days when it was Strokes. I can't imagine this business will last here much longer. read more

The hot turkey sand was good. I order a side salad . What a joke never had a side salad so small . It had not kidding 5 leaf of lettuce . The blue dressing was good . Don' t waste money on a side salad at Whiskey River. read more

Got to sit down right away on a holiday weekend with a party of 6. Our waiter, Wil, was awesome. His recommendations were on point. Had stuffed mushrooms, egg rolls, filet was awesome and the toffee cake to finish off was delicious! Great river spot if you want good food! read more

I can't say enough about the staff here! Paige went the extra several miles! We are from Vegas and will make this place a must any time we are in the area. Apart from the amazing staff, they make a wonderful steak and the atmosphere is perfect! read more

Very expensive, have shut down since, business is for sale, catered to the wrong crowd.

Two hours plus to get your food. Given it three solid attempts and the service is less than sub par. Unless you want to sit down for 4 hours and have mediocre food try anything else. Even Parker McDonald's. read more

The food is top notch, the service is fast and friendly, staff is cheerful and professional. Live country music on the weekends! Plus WR offers a free shuttle service so guest can enjoy a worry free good time. read more

The food itself would have been average but not this night. My twice baked potato came out barely warm and took a half an hour for a replacement. Which my then I didn't want. I guess I was lucky as my husband's rice pilaf was very cold. Not even room temp. Our server who was new was overall embarrassed at the food. She was kind and sweet so no issues there re service. My HUGE issue was the manager or owner and two young waitstaff gossiping at the bar, swearing and speaking very loudly. When we sent our items back she replies (again at the bar speaking loudly). Just microwave it. Classy. read more

On this Saturday afternoon, my husband and I really had a nice lunch. The place is so clean and cool! Our Buffalo chicken salad and Club sandwich were really good. The sandwich had a lot of meat and was delicious. The fries were a favorite too. Since we are staying at Pirates for the summer we will definitely be back! read more

Just left this bar and the bartener (blonde Darryl Hannah) was the most rude person ever! She was late for her shift and even asked us to leave because she couldn't handle the amount of people at her bar....we heard she has only been there 3 months......will never got back!! If she goes, we will be back!! Very very rude!! read more

5 stars for the food without question. Every single thing we got was amazing besides a terrible margarita. 3 stars for the wait time for the food to come out. Several of us got our plates and the rest of us had to wait quite a while, so the food was not served anywhere close to the same time. It was a good experience overall and we will definitely go back again for the food alone. read more

As had been stated previously, food was quite delicious. Filet Mignon cooked perfectly and delicious. Potato was great, Southwest Egg rolls were delicious and something new as the soup was Shepherds Pie Soup, also great. Side dinner salad was pretty meh, not particularly fresh. Chicken strips delicious. Will waited on us and it was just him in the entire place on a Sunday night. He was busy and explained the kitchen was backed up. All in all for Parker, it wasn't terrible. Others have complained about the noise inside and it can be noisy. Food taste is totally on point and value is there I feel. Worth a try, don't be in a hurry, remember you are on Parker Time. read more

What a great find. Thank you Yelp! As we were traveling through we decided to give it a try. Brandy, the manager was a great hostess. Recommended the hanger steak. Absolutely phenomenal!! The jalapeno poppers ordered did not come out of a box! These were homemade and the best! The drinks were great pours. Nothing negative to say about this place except we can't make it during open hours on our trip back through Parker. This is definitely on the list every time we're in or through Parker. A definite diamond of a find!! read more

Had bfast there and it was pretty good! Had eggs, French toast and bacon. Service was prompt and on point. The drinks are a little strong so be prepared lol The restaurant was clean and comfortable. read more

Will definitely not recommend this place to anyone. Service was way too slow. Food is mediocre. The servers are great the reason it still has that little spark of a star. read more

Dinner last night. All great. I've been there about 6 times and have had excellent food. There were a few times others had a dry pork chop; too much salt on the big steak; a bit longer wait sometimes. But they are working on fixing these issues. They could use a Maitre d' at night read more

Absolutely Delicious! Hats off to the kitchen staff 10/10. We visit Parker at least 3 times a year and have eaten at several places, this place blows others out the water on taste, portions, and variety. The service was great, we were a party of 10 on a holiday weekend 2 hrs prior to closing. We were seated quickly, and our waitress Abby attended to us right away. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating even with all our questions, joking and indecisiveness. They even took a picture of our group for us because we were so excited to be eating good. Definitely returning! read more

Whiskey River Steakhouse & Saloon - Bars Near Me - Parker, Arizona

not gonna lie I haven't been to a real restaurant in Parker for sometime I went to this one along time ago when it was strokes. However, my wife and I celebrated our 17 year anniversary recently and decided to run over here for a steak. Great service steak prices were in line with anything else anywhere else I would definitely eat there again for a special occasion. read more

Just average.. not bad, not good. Steak is overpriced. Supposed to get a basket of bread, never offered and said 'we're out' ..not impressed. Buffalo chicken blue salad, no dressing, odd. Can see why it was totally empty read more

I have been here several times now as I have a winter home right down the road. So glad to have a place to go to that serves QUALITY food. The house salad is super fresh with shaved parm cheese. The filet mignon was delicious and perfectly cooked, had it with a baked potato (been forever since I have a BP) and it was big and delicious with all the fixings. Great margaritas too! So glad I don't have to drive to LHC for an upscale dinner in a casual, clean, fun place with friendly staff! read more

Friday night dinner with the family. Service was solid, food was good- and the live music was a great addition.

My husband and I used to come to Parker a couple of times a year. We always went to Stokes. Stokes was okay but Whiskey River is far superior. My steak was cooked to perfection as was my husband's. The service was excellent. read more
