whiskey cake kitchen & bar

got to love the whiskey cake. i came here twice and the quality of the food is consistent and good. their main dishes are on the expensive side. i went back for the second time because of the whiskey cake. it is soooooo good that i think about it often. the portion of the cake is large. so, save some space in your stomach for it.

awesome spot!! brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks, you name it, it's wonderful! one of my favorite spots for a drink and a dessert (whiskey cake of course). attentive and knowledgable staff--a must try!!

excellent pub type food. i'd been to whiskey cake before, but just for appetizers at a work related function. my wife and i finally got in for lunch a few days ago. we both left thinking perhaps the "omg burger" is perhaps the best burger we've ever had. i actually had a different sandwich, which was also superb, but we each only had half of what we ordered and traded so we could both try different dishes. the service was excellent and the ambiance is as good as any around. we'll certainly be back, no doubt fairly soon.

disappointing. my book group went for a holiday dinner. i was looking forward since i love the concept. unfortunately the restaurant does not live up to it's hype. i understand why the restaurant was less than half full.

i wanted an aged bourbon but the menu gives you no clue to how old the bourbons are. don't bother to ask the waitress because she has no idea how old any are or anything about any of the listed ones. i picked one that she thought was 12 years old. they were out but the bartender recommended one that was 11 years old; they had nothing older. it was at best adequate and greatly overpriced at $11 for a minimal amount.

at the waitress's recommendation i ordered the lamb stack. i guess it is called that because they cut the sandwich in half and put the second half on top of the first half. the sandwich had overcooked very thin slices of lamb with a miniscule amount of sauce and a very poor quality slice of tomato. again greatly overpriced.

there are only two desserts on the menu - whiskey cake (only one kind) and the dessert of the day (which was caramel chip ice cream). i got the whiskey cake and could not taste the whiskey. the one redeeming thing was that they left the bowl with the whipped cream (although it was not great; tasted like it was out of a can).

i managed to find a free space when someone was leaving; otherwise it would have cost me 5$ for valet parking.

overpriced, underseasoned, bad service. went to whiskey cake for a reunion with some friends. we all ordered drinks. i had the tennessee stud. awful. my friend ordered the great escape. she hated it as well. we were all jealous of our smart friend who ordered a draft beer. we told our server we weren't big fans of our drinks when he asked how they were, and his response was "oh, that's too bad." then he darted off. we did order our fried green tomatoes appetizer, which consisted of 5 slices. delicious!! well worth it, but i've had better portions for the same price at other places. one friend had the turkey burger, and the menu said they would "serve up a few kettle chips with them." boy, they weren't kidding. she had 3 tiny kettle chips with her tiny sky-high burger. she also ordered it without the cranberry, and it came with cranberry. it came back to her with cranberry raked off, but you could still see little remnants all over it. i had the farm bird. first, it was tiny. second, it was bland. i really wish i would have ordered a side, but my friend ordered a side of "parmesean" fries that made mcdonald's fries look awesome. the only difference is that i would have actually put parm on them, because they didn't. my extremely non-picky friend hated her duck. the service was slow, poor and the place looked like a club. this was my second time there. hated it the first time, hated it this time. i will never go back.

smoked duck. duck was very tender

infamous whiskey cake. really really good

slow service. we love the restaurant,but last night our waitress,brook was slow and not very attentive.otherwise the omg burger was outstanding.

great brunch. so glad we found this place. love the farm to table concept as well as the scratch kitchen. service was great and food was delicious! highly recommend the chicken and waffles. the deviled egg appetizer was delish. jalepeno biscuits and gravy are a must try! looking forward to the next visit.

overpriced and not that great. the menu is lacking in simple staples. there is a lot of over hyped and over priced food here. don't come here looking for steak or a simple meal. the atmosphere is like abercrombie and fitch meets hipsters mixed with pompous food elitists.

three strikes - you're out. this was our third visit to the okc whiskey cake. since we like it so much the first two times, we thought it would be a great place to celebrate a birthday. although it is better than the plano location (by far), this visit didn't live up to our last two experiences. we visited mid-afternoon on sunday, after the after church rush. there were only a few tables, so being busy wasn't an issue. it didn't seem to help the quality of the service though. the music was ridiculously loud, and was quite obnoxious. as we sat down, it actually sounded like alarms were going off, but no, it was just horrible music. the drinks we ordered were okay, but not nearly as good as the first two times. as we were waiting for our food, a couple was seated right next to us (about a foot away in the almost empty restaurant). she like talked loudly, like, the entire time, like we were there and we like got to hear like everything that was like happening in her really stressful life. we ordered the goat cheese fondue appetizer ($10 - worth $7), which is our favorite, but this time the middle of the cheese was still refrigerator cold. cold goat cheese isn't bad, but it certainly isn't fondue. (strike one) one of our party ordered the rotisserie farm bird ($16 - worth $10 max). the chicken, a rather small breast and wing, were moist, but didn't have much flavor. the wilted spinach was watered down with the mustard onion jus that had even less flavor (strike two). he was still so hungry that he ordered the hand cut parmesan fries. they were hot, and crispy (for the first five minutes), but were incredibly under seasoned and had no parmesan sprinkled on them. we had to ask for hot sauce twice before we got some so they would have any flavor at all (strike three). the next individual in our party ordered the bbq banh mi ($13 - worth $8). it was served on a nice baguette, with flavorful pulled pork, fresh veggies and cilantro. it was served with homemade chips. about six of them. the last dish ordered was the omg burger ($13 - worth $10). we were asked if we wanted it cooked medium, medium well or well. we requested medium at most. it was well. very well done. unfortunately, by the time it came, we were so hungry we just ate it. it was also quite salty. the mushrooms were fine, and the onion ring on the burger was good, but the leaf lettuce they used was completely wilted and slimy by the time it was served (strike three). what was becoming one of our favorites is now on our disappointment list

don't do take out. twice now and both times horrible service for take out, order wrong, and the food was cold.

fantastic food, great service, and the whiskey cake is amazing!

whiskey cake. although the menu says it's a secret, the chef revealed it in a presentation. google will find it in a second. a lot of work to make--better have it here.

well, not tonight.. whiskey cake is a good addition to the okc restaurant scene, imaginative, and i believe the owners are serious. i've had several good meals there, despite suffering through their rather precious opening ceremony: why are you here tonight? (to get my watch repaired.) may i tell you how special wck is? (well, not again, please) it's sort of like baby's first restaurant in a city that may not be manhattan or even (gulp) los angeles, but most of us are happy to see an herb garden out front and don't really need to exclaim. it's great, it's all locally sourced. let's be modest about it.

tonight was really awful--undertrained server, a food debacle. really good chips, however. i won't go into detail, anyone can have a bad night in the kitchen, the waitress might have been under the weather, hey. the templeton rye was good, if a modest portion at $9; if you like brown liquor, this is a good place. probably better off sitting at the bar.

the acute manager, killian leone, handled our disappointment with grace and generosity, more than was expected. knowing that an expert like her is on the scene speaks well of the intentions of the restaurant. more training, less preamble, bigger drinks, whiskey cake will be a place to come back to.

first time there tonight. neat atmosphere, great concept. waiter was pleasant but didn't offer refills on tea. chicken sandwich was bland and didn't taste good at all! burger was so so-nothing special. won't be going back.

go for the cake; leave for everything else.. over-priced and under-delicious.

fried green tomatoes okay; duck wings overdone and w/o flavor; chicken, reeely very little food there; binh mi, don't even think about it.

first visit to whiskey cake kitchen & bar. very nice atmosphere and decor. pleasant wait staff. many unique and tasty items on the menu. the whiskey cake is terrific!
