About Chicken + Whiskey

Chicken + Whiskey is a restaurant that offers a diverse menu, catering to various dietary preferences. Customers have praised the delicious food, with vegetarian options like the Black Bean Arepa with yuca and the Pollo a la Brasa Salad (without the chicken) receiving particular acclaim. The Old Fashioned cocktail has also been described as delightful, with a well-balanced flavor that even those who are not whiskey enthusiasts can enjoy. The restaurant features casual wooden bench seating in a clean, simple dining area, and outside seating provides good views. The service is quick and straightforward; customers walk up, order, and pay easily.

Recent reviews highlight the well-seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken, especially the half chicken with two sides, which included flavorful yuca fries and tasty plantains. The sides were crispy on the outside and airy inside, with nice seasoning. All three sauces—yellow, red, and whiskey BBQ—were appreciated, especially the red with a mild spiciness and the smoky whiskey BBQ. The portion size for $15 was satisfying, leaving diners full. Customers also enjoyed the braised beef in the arepa and the overall friendly interaction with the staff, including the cook.

While the fried chicken (Pollo Frito) has received mixed reviews, with some mention of burnt breading, the overall dining experience remains positive. The restaurant's effort to provide a satisfying experience is evident, especially with the variety of appealing options for vegetarians and those seeking unique cocktails. The casual atmosphere, good views from outside seating, and reasonable prices make Chicken + Whiskey a place many plan to return to for a flavorful and relaxed meal.
