Whiskey Cake is an award winning farm-to-table restaurant, offering signature New American comfort food with a farm-to-fork mission. The approachable menu locally sources as much as possible and will feature innovative appetizers, slow-cooked meats and freshly caught fish, along with the infamous whiskey cake for dessert.

The large central bar pays homage to great whiskeys with an expansive list of variations. A menu of cocktails features creative concoctions of local spirits with fresh ingredients, evocative of beverages served at a pre-prohibition bar experience.

The contemporary design of reclaimed architectural elements creates an environment that is comfortable and inviting, an ideal spot for dinner after a long workday or a lazy brunch on the weekends.

    The hostess (tall, red shirt) was very nice and welcoming. Our server was amazing and personable. I like that he sat at the table with us. Usually when I come eat there is a long wait on food and drinks but everything came quickly. I thought the espresso martini was just okay. The salmon was really good!
    Whiskey Cake - San AntonioResponded 7 days ago
    Hello Emily! Thank you for taking the time to review us! Sad to see a 4 star review, it seemed like you enjoyed everything but the Martini. What can we do better next time to receive a 5 star? We appreciate any feedback, our team keeps working hard to earn great reviews. Come see us again, and don't forget to make a reservation for busy season. Happy holidays -Jennie AGM

    Went back after a rough first visit. We arrived and were promptly sat. Service was great and GM came by to help us after the issues the first time. Drinks were great and the candied bacon was amazing. The Burger and the dip were great. The Whiskey Cake was super sweet more than the first time.

    The service was fantastic. I think early afternoon is the best time to go. (after lunch and before dinner crowds arrive)
