Whiskey River Pub And Grill

I had the chicken french sandwich which was ok. The bottom of the roll was soggy and the chicken breast could have been sliced thinner and pounded to make it more tender. The service outside was good, but friends who dined inside waited a long time for their food. The atmosphere is fun when there's a band. The outside and bar area is really nice.

I ended up here because a friend of mine recommended their smoked chicken wings! I had no idea they smoked food and did barbecue... delicious!! It's a nice place to go across from the river they have live music some nights and the food is good! If you like baked beans I highly recommend them! Parking can be tough if they get busy. There's a parking lot next to the building and there is street parking but there's also a lot behind the building and if you can't find a place in any of those three places then down the street near Pelican's Nest is the next closest place to park. Check it out if you have not!!

This is a great setup outside which is the only reason for a 4, be warned if there is a band and you're there for dinner, have $10 per person cash to eat outside. You can eat inside at no charge. We had no cash, wanted to eat outside and asked if they could add $20 to our dinner bill, the answer was a hard NO, so off to the ATM onsite. In this situation, I would recommend the option to add door fees to outside diners meal check. Our waitress was very nice, drinks came quickly. We wanted a pizza but were told they were done making them, why give us the separate pizza menu then? Then just before our food came out, the table next to us, who were seated at the same time, received a pizza! We picked fried calamari, whiskey river clams and steak hoagie. Our food came, she left napkins, but we had no utensils, salt, pepper or condiments. So we had to ask a busser for them. The hoagie was good, but the cheese was nacho cheese, not provolone as listed on the menu. The calamari was good, but they threw whole peperoncini's on it, why not slice them? The clams had pieces of pasta included, it's not a pasta dish, just clams sauteed in white wine and garlic sauce. They must just reuse cooking pans?? They were also very spicy, and had small clam shell pieces in the sauce. We waited forever to get our check. The waitress was concentrating on the opposite side of the dining area, the band had stopped playing and we were just waiting and trying to get her or anyone's attention so we could leave. Next time we may eat at one of the other restaurants in the area and then stop for the music after, or go early and maybe have a chance to try the pizza.

Really nice place! Went for bike night 6/29/23. Great bartender outside (Jess?), good prices on drinks and the smoked blue and gold sauce wings were unreal!! Only gripe is that the band was way too loud. It wasn't just me, I heard 4 groups of people say they were leaving because it was too loud. And I know..."If it's too loud you're too old" but my ears were literally ringing when I got home. I will be back, but please turn down it a little.
