New menu and I wanted to try it all, even the old favorites. Surprisingly there are more vegetarian dishes than in most vegetarian restaurants. I couldn't resist the BBQ platter. That was after a bowl of fried brussel spout leaves. (That went well with the red wine.) The sides served with the platter were nothing short of amazing. Beans that smoke for 17hr. Greens that takes 2 days to prepare. All this flanked by corn bread crowed with honey butter. Someone else offered me a sample of their Mac & Cheese. Good thing mama wasn't there [smack!]. I washed it all down with an apple ginger beer. I could eat there daily and never get tired of it. As far as whiskey goes...well, I'll just say - they have it! They have it all, and then some.
Nice craft beer selection, obviously an incredible whiskey list...food was very good, brisket best we have ever had...and of course best bartender in Mac! Highly recommend and Mac will figure out your flavor profile and make some incredible whiskey recommendations! 🥃 cheers!
Our dinner was so good, we went back the next night with our daughter who follows a vegan diet and she loved it, too! Delicious, well-made food. Great suggestions for whiskies to try. Can't wait to go back. Good spacing between tables indoors. Outdoor seating available but it is also a cigar smoking area.
Overall my friends and I had a nice time. The French fries were seasoned to perfection. We all had different meals and everyone seemed to enjoy their decision. The ambiance was nice for a small group or a first date.
This was a great place for an early dinner! We stopped in right at 3pm and we were warmly welcomed by the owner. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and the BBQ platter was delicious. We definitely have plenty of lunch left overs for the week. Try it soon. You won’t be disappointed.
Had the opportunity to meet the owner. If you are looking for exceptional burbons in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. and/or looking for insight into various burbons (educational) and/or exceptional BBQ....this is the place. 10/10!
If you are thinking about going...go! The bar is one of the best you will ever see! Mac did all the work himself and it is beautiful! The food is fantastic. Mac and cheese is BEST I have ever had! The burgers are a mix that are ground there. Smoked pork and brisket are delicious! Vegetarians can eat here too. Oh and if you like whiskey...he has that too :-)
What a cool place! The food was delicious. We ordered several appetizers. Our waiter helped hubs choose a whiskey while I truly enjoyed my hot cider.
Food was awesome. Steak was juicy. Duck was great. Fries were seasoned very well. The old fashioned might have been the best I've evee had. Only negative is they were out of wings. 😡
My family and I stopped in by chance ordered some sandwiches and we absolutely enjoyed them. The brisket was flavorful , tender and cooked to perfection and the pulled pork was heavenly.
The gentleman at the bar who took our orders was so kind and engaging. - great service.
McCormack's Big Whiskey Grill was terrific. The food is excellent, but the bartenders are even better. Their knowledge and willingness to guide you through your whiskey journey are terrific. Their selection of whiskey, whether it be Bourbon, Scotch, Irish, or something in-between, is basically unmatched in Richmond. Whether you want to come in for a quick meal, a quiet drink after work, or host an event, they can take care of you. Definitely recommend trying the cornbread.

I should have written this a month ago, but life interfered. My family is rarely able to get together in our home state of Virginia, but when we do, we're a lot. My dad, my sister and me, five adult children, and sometimes a friend or two. One adult child is vegan, another has Celiac and a few other allergies. On March 17th, we were in Richmond for a memorial service that honored my mom, which meant we were FINALLY able to go to McCormack's Big Whisky Grill. My mom would have loved that. We descended on the restaurant in staggered numbers and they could not have been more accommodating.
Because we arrived within an hour of opening, we were able to snag the big table even though we were willing to sit at two different tables if needed (we weren't so lucky at other places over the weekend). We discovered a new favorite whisky (Writer's Tears) and placed a second order of the creamy shrimp, bacon, and artichoke spread because it was amazing. Everyone loved their entrees, and my sister and I have been trying for the last month to figure out what's in the Smoky Agave dressing we ordered for our salads.
It was St. Patrick's Day and very busy, but no one rushed us...and we needed that. Many, many thanks.
