“Tried Whiskey River for the first time last night. I want to preface this by saying that I called last week and asked if they could accommodate a party of 12-15 the next Monday. The girl who answered (i think it was Lacey but im not 100% sure) was very sweet and said they could forsure do that. I told her it was for my daughter's 21st and she even told me she gets a free shot. Over the weekend more people decided to join us. So Monday morning I called back and asked if the could accommodate 25. I also told her we were willing to sit on the patio to make it easier. She said it was no problem and that she would let the night staff know. Lacey was very sweet and professional! On to my review. Our party showed up between 530 and 6 in increments. I was late (I always am lol) and found out our server was Leann (spelling?) She was very sweet and ran her bitt off all night. We are a demanding but kind group so I give her props. Also because we were on the patio there were flies and a lot of the no-see-um bugs. Absolutely, nothing that they could have done about the no-see-ums, but she apologized at the end of our meal anyways. So I thought that was very thoughtful of her. They did have fans to help (it didn't no offense) so I would suggest maybe the fire pits or the tiki heaters to help stave them off. (They are attracted to Co2 and moisture) Not sure if it would work but it's worth a shot :) The food took a little bit for some (we had 25 people order in a 10 min period I am NOT complaining at all) but was hot and fresh (definitely not warmer hot) when it came out. So of the dishes we tried: Wings - Delicious. Flavor and sauce was so good. Dill Pickle Cheese Curds - huge serving. Just the right amount of pickle flavor. Fajita Salad - huge portion of steak well made Whiskey Burger - good flavor. A little too well done but still good Chicken Tenders - flavorful and seemed to be the hand breaded type. Pulled Pork Nachos - Huge portion. Good mix of toppings. Lots of meat. Steak - Cooked to perfection and delicious Chicken Sandwich - Huge. Crispy buy not too. Good flavor. OVERALL 9.5/10 Will definitely be back“

“Second time ever going. It was good. The bartender was young and not sure how much experience they had. Every drink I ordered was wrong but as friendly as they were it made it not an issue. Constantly kept themselves busy cleaning, whether if it was proper cleaning is another thing but he'll I admired their drive so gave a A plus plus.“

“Stopped in for a meal and it was about what you’d expect from a big chain restaurant, solid, reliable, and exactly what you’re looking for when you want something familiar. The food was good and came out as expected, nothing overly fancy but definitely enjoyable.

The real standout was the service. Our server was excellent, friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. That alone made the visit feel a notch above the typical chain experience.

Overall, a good meal with great service. Would definitely return for a casual, dependable dining option.“

“So my husband and I told ourselves never again would we go back to Buffalo Wild Wings. My coworker suggested going even after I told her about our experience there from bartender Dottie every time we have gone in she completely ignored us we have to ask her for everything. But we decided to go in again and we sat at the bar as usual but it wasn’t Dottie this time the bartender is Miss Tara she is so fast doesn’t even need to write anything down and literally listen to all my needs. I recommend you to go when she is working I watched her go into the kitchen an help them cook. I want Miss Tara to know we appreciate her service very much“
