We're serving up tasty farm-to-kitchen dishes & cocktails out of our 'from scratch only' kitchen and bar. Microwave? Never heard of it. We use slow-cooking methods on our live wood grill, smoker and spit because everything tastes better that way. And all this goodness is served to you as you kick your feet up in one of our rocking chairs, dine at a fancy table or relax out on the porch.

So my first time here was a moment to remember. From honoring the reservation to the server to the desert. This was a cute date night for my boyfriend and I. This is definitely a place to return too. BTW the whiskey cake is to die for. Always save room desert.

The food is good. Service and staff are terrible. I understand the restaurant is busy on the weekends so slow service is expected. However, the bad attitude and micro-aggressions from our waitress is what prompts this bad review. Don’t expect professionalism and customer service from this restaurant's servers. Also, don’t expect this restaurant to honor reservations.

The hostess stand was a bit of a mess. Had a reservation and were told our server was not there yet. Went to packed bar to get drinks and then to lounge area. Finally 25 min later got a text that table was ready after being told they would come get us. 6 ladies by a window with sun beating down on us. Had to ask to close the curtains because Houston’s hot in August. Hostess brought us one menu and said they were short. Never brought us any more. We had to ask. Our server, Alexandria, was amazing and totally made up for the hostess team. Overall, a super fun night but man, that hostess team needs some help. We will go again because it’s never been like that. This was all on a Wednesday evening at 5 pm.

We had Sunday brunch using the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu. Amazing with deviled eggs and cinnamon rolls to start. For entrée we had Chicken and Waffles and Shrimp and Grits. Finished off with a peach ice cream. We came to the restaurant around 11 and it was quiet but it quickly became full. Everything was delicious but it did take some time for everything to come out of the kitchen. Not surprising considering the packed restaurant. It worked out great because we shared the deviled eggs and then the cinnamon roll between us while waiting for entree's to be delivered. Our waitress was great and did a great job of looking after us.
Whiskey Cake - BaybrookResponded on September 7, 2022Mary, thank you for taking the time to give us a review! I'm glad you enjoyed everything with us for Restaurant Week! Sunday mornings are a busy day for us but we try our hardest to get the food and drinks out to all guests in a reasonable time. I'm sorry this wasn't the case for you. Come in again and ask for me, Cathy, and I would love to make sure everything goes smooth for y'alls visit!

We had the grilled chicken salad and chicken salad sandwich. The food was delicious. The service was exceptional. The ambiance was a little noisy but to be expected due to hard surfaces (brick walls, marble counter tops and wood floors). We will definitely eat at Whiskey Cake again.

The Brussels sprouts were really tasty. Overall the food was good. It was a great change from the typical heavy and bloating type food from typical restaurants. The cake was good as well. Oddly enough though, because of the limited amount of items on the menu, I will probably not go again. So for me, a great one time experience, and I do recommend going, but I don’t want to go there and eat the same food again and since the menu is small, I won’t be returning.

We had the Redfish Special and Cauliflower bowl. Both were good but nothing to rave about. Their scotch flight and bourbon Rita were excellent. Needless to say the wiskey cake was to die for. Place is a bit expensive but worth once in a while.
