Really good food and friendly service. We sat outside and it was a little windy but they accommodated us by putting on heaters. We shared the sampler plate between three of us and didn’t finish it all. My favorite was the ribs! They were delicious! The cornbread was yummy as was the coleslaw on French fries. The fried pickles were so so.

We had an amazing Fathers Day dinner here. Service was outstanding and the food was so good! Meaty ribs, flavorful burger, meaty wings, corn bread tasty and a tons of sides to choose from! The only think we didn’t try was the briskett. We will have to go back!

Everything was great. The only hiccup was that we asked for inside reservation and they put us outside initially. We asked them to correct it and they did. Other than that the food was awesome, service was on point and the atmosphere was great. We’ll definitely be back again.

This was our first visit to Whiskey ‘N Rye. Just walking into the restaurant, the BBQ aroma was amazing! Our server, Brandi, was terrific. We shared the BBQ Sampler Trio which came with two sides. It was delicious and more than enough! If you’re in the Solvang area, you must give it a try!!
