Acrually quite delicious. Those collards greens are gud. I had that crazy everything burger with crispt chicken skins AND pimento cheese AND green tomato and: yum. Its a big burger. Im a small portions person so it made two meals for me, especially with the side of yummy fries. My botfriend got the ribs and he loved them. With it, he got the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes with chicken gravy because hes just extra fancy like that and yum to it all. The mashed potatoes needed maybe a touch more sour cream or something to moisten them but still damn good.

I got the marshmellow old fashioned and it is the most drinkable old fashioned ive ever had.

Plus. Sorghum butter. Wtf. Keep doing that.

I enjoyed the quality of food, service, and atmosphere on a Friday night but lost my class ring. Jimmy and two hostesses facilitated the return of my ring, which I found to be incredibly courteous and kind. Thank you all so very much! It means so much to me to have my ring back.

We used The Whiskey Jar for our Oct. 2024 wedding after party. Chris and the team were extremely welcome and let us use the whole space for our guests, play music and use the space as we needed. Would highly recommend for this type of event, since there are few late-night options in town.

I absolutely love the atmosphere we arrived during a very busy time and waited 15 mins for a table and received excellent service!

I was looking for an authentic southern restaurant to take my friend to. This place did not disappoint. very solid a pulled pork. Barbecue nachos was loaded and tasty. The brussels sprout was so good. Everything was seasoned well and not overwhelming. We also try their signature cocktail with whiskey and really like it a cute little place in downtown to recommend.

The food is overpriced and under portioned. Genuinely some of the worst food I’ve ever had in Charlottesville. The fries are worse than McDonald’s quality and the menu looks like it was designed by someone who has never been to a restaurant before. It’s dirty inside, the layout is strange. Don’t bring your family here if you’re expecting to get your moneys worth or even the minimum standards.

Great drinks and service at Whiskey Jar. Quality bands play here and cocktails are printed reasonably.

Great food, drinks, and vibe. Probably the best comfort food you can get in Charlottesville.
