    This was my third time at Whiskey Ridge. The staff is amazing , their attitude is pleasant, attentive, and very customer service oriented. My food and drinks have been consistently good all three times. My favorites are the broiled oysters, grilled salmon, deviled eggs with fried oysters , tuna tartare, corn and spinach sides. All 5 stars. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I love the atmosphere. Looking forward to eating on their outside patio with fireplaces when our Texas weather warms up.

    Our first dining experience at Whiskey Ridge was outstanding. It was a very busy Saturday evening and glad we had reservations! It was outstanding from start to finish…..seating, service and attention, cocktails, dinner, and dessert! Luckily for us, we were seated beside the kitchen and serving station, so we got to see every menu choice prepared for serving. What a treat! Just don’t know what we’ll order next time! Will definitely be back!

    Servers were attentive and personable. Atmosphere was great, a little too loud for us. Steaks were good. All the food was good. The butterscotch custard was exceptional. We would have liked to see some healthier sides, more fresh vegetables and less cheese and fat. There are a few gluten free options. You can ask for gf menu.

    Great place! Met friends and had a great time, good food and really good service. Overall, it got a little loud when the place was full and made it a bit hard to hear, but not too bad.
