Whiskey Kitchen

Whiskey kitchen is a mainstay in my rotation of restaurants I must hit when visiting NC!I am obsessed with their signature cocktails, vibey space, and unique menu. I sometimes find that the uniqueness of said menu can be intimidating but truly everyone I have taken has found something they like. The staff are also super kind and knowledgeable.

Beautiful place with a great atmosphere! Cocktails were great and the whisky list was good. We ordered a bunch of stuff and the stand out was the broccoli! Grain bowl was good too. But there were issues. The Brussels sprouts had an absolutely delicious sauce on them but they were undercooked and still hard in the middle. The cauliflower came out cold, not sure if they just didn't heat it up all the way or if it sat for too long not under a heat lamp. We got a side of pulled pork that was dry. I'd def go back and try again but I'll be more selective to what I order.

We had heard good things about whiskey kitchen from locals and decided to check it out while we were in town. They have a large outdoor seating area and inside they have great seating including bar seating. For entrées we started with the boiled peanuts, which we really enjoyed and thought that the pickled pepper was a nice addition to it. I had the fried chicken sandwich with potato salad. Chicken was nice and crunchy love the soft bun that was on And even loved thebutter pickles. The potato salad was a perfect ball of rustic and traditional, but with a few little surprises. Very much what I was expecting and wanting. My husband opted for the barbecue pulled pork sandwich with the collard greens. The pork had really good flavor to it. He enjoyed the sauce, but could use a little more pork as there was still a good amount of bread when he got down to the end of his sandwich. We were told that Tuesday Thursday and Saturday were the best days to come because the collard greens were made by I believe her name is Miss. Mary. The greens had a sweet and spicy kick to them but we enjoyed them. They have multiple different whiskeys and bourbons on tap. I chose to stick with something. I knew the Jeffersons ocean voyage which came out to be around $17. My husband opted for the Penelope artifact which was around $14. One thing I would encourage others to consider is the prices of the pores are reflective of the fact that all of the liquor is state run. So you see that reflected in many of the prices Because bottles are so scarce

We were in town for Dreamville and wanted to grab lunch before we headed to a day party and Whiskey Kitchen was in walking distance from our hotel.We promptly greeted and seated and our server was at our table swiftly to welcome us and to offer us water as we looked over the menu.We opted for a couple of their Daily Lunch Specials and couldn't pass up trying the cracklin' biscuits since it was something we've never heard of or eaten. My BFF who literally hasn't eaten pork in yeeeaaarrrrssss couldn't pass up trying them when they hit the table because they look absolutely irresistible and the taste ... 10 out of 10! I would come back to Raleigh just for those biscuits! I had the steak sandwich for my entree which was flank steak with chimichurri on a toasted freshly baked roll and a side of collards ... both were AMAZINGLY flavorful and hit the spot on everything you'd want in a sandwich. I also tried some of my friend's potato salad and it was slamming as well! We cannot say one single negative thing about Whiskey Kitchen and recommend it should you be in Downtown Raleigh.

Food is delicious and I've never had fries stay crispy during my whole meal! Service was excellent and fast

I would come back for the smoked mozzarella salad! It was so good! Each bite was balanced with freshness, tartness from the pickled onion and vinaigrette, and the extra flavor from the smoked mozzarella! Adding chicken was a plus but the salad was definitely enough and filling. The fries are good when they're fresh! A nice crunch and good flavor.It's a nice spot on a nice weather day to sit inside or outside, just be aware that the garage door will be open if you have outdoor allergies. A chill spot for a drink or a nice bite to eat.

Cool Biergarten vibe with an extensive library of whiskeys. Great flight options and unique cocktails.

We ended up here as a second choice when the first choice had too long of a wait. Thanks to Yelp, I could find a decent spot quickly!We were seated quickly but it took awhile before our server came to greet us and take our order. We almost left!I started with a cocktail, a Poinsettia. It was pretty tasty if you're cool with the flavor of lavender. Both of my sons and I ordered chicken sandwiches without pickles; they had fries and I had collard greens. It didn't take too long for the food to arrive and it was decent. Both sons and I remarked that it was basically a more expensive Chick Fil A sandwich. We all wished they had put a little more sauce on the sandwich. We all enjoyed the sides; the boys said the fries were better than the sandwich. My collards were surprisingly tender. I typically don't like the stalks but these were rendered down so much that they were tender enough for my picky palette. It's such a cute spot that I would give it one more try, maybe during the summer when we could enjoy sitting outside.

Don't let the name fool you! I don't even like whiskey and had a fabulous time. The cocktails were delish and smooth. I ordered the Botanist and my husband ordered Murder She Wrote - YUM! The apps and entrees - so good!! We got the Brussels sprouts (5 stars) and fries to start. I got the grain bowl w/fried chicken...gotta try good fried chicken when you're in the South and my husband got the apricot salad w/fried chicken too. They soak the chicken overnight in sweet tea to tenderize it ... so yummy. Pls don't let the lack of photo's dissuade you...I got just got caught up in the evening.

Great drinks, excellent food, and service was on point (Cedric). The outdoor space was great for our family
