“Family platter 1/2 rack of ribs, 2 other meat choices, 4 sides (which are about a cup serving size) Texas toast or cornbread. $35.00!!!
Everything was delicious, I usually take a photo but I forgot this time. It was just 2 of us so we have some leftovers for hubbies lunch. Definitely recommend this place😃!“

“friday night is trivia night“

“I’ve been here a couple times and I have mixed feelings. First time was great, service was great and food was good for price. This recent time the server was good, although my friend wanted a water and we had to remind her a few times until she finally brought one. I also got a burger and while I was chewing I pulled a hair out of my mouth. Unfortunately, that was not ideal and I did not finish my food but they did comp my meal. I would come back for the atmosphere and a meal but maybe make sure the staff is more cautious of food prep“

“Well this is a surprise: I had the best buffalo chicken wrap of my life. Fresh, crisp lettuce, perfectly sauced chicken, the right amount of shredded cheddar cheese, and I exchanged ranch for Bleu cheese dressing, which was on the side. If unwrapping it wouldn't have been unseemly, I'd have shown you inside. I opted for sweet potato fries, but took most of them home because I enjoyed the wrap so much! My other party had the whisky burger and regular fries, and he was happy too. Our server was attentive and quite friendly, and that's awesome because she had the bar and other tables to help. I've been to Whiskey River before, but this visit was a standout. Thank you for making my day!“

“Tried Applebee’s for the first time. This place is alright. The food looks a little better in the pictures, but the staff is super friendly and the wait time wasn’t too long. I’d say biggest pros are the quesadillas and drinks. They have an interesting selection of alcoholic beverages.“
