    Not expensive but food not so great either. Buffalo chicken pasta in cream sauce just didn't make any sense, and was unfortunately bland. Blackened salmon had too many spices...cook should use iron cast skillet so can rely less on spices that ended up being caked on and masked salmon taste. Pizza ok...can't complain...was $10. Plus kids like it.

    Just not good. From the hostess to the music selection and everything in between was bad. The server had an attitude the entire time for no reason at all. The food came out hot but my plate was reheated. Like everything was dried out from the vegetables, to the salmon to the rice. It was all microwaved. I hated my entire experience at this place I will never come here again.

    We went here for dinner on recommendation of a friend who I would later find had not been here in several years. Let’s just say I think the service may have gone downhill. We got there a little after 7. Their posted hours are until 9pm. There was no sign on the door suggesting different and no one offered that information… which would’ve been completely acceptable considering you’re there for dinner and it took until 730+ to get our food anyway. ( not a long wait, no complaints there) then out of the blue they say last call. That was at 8pm. Then they start putting all the chairs up and casually mention “we’re closing at 8 tonight” lol. The food was just meh. Nobody was overly impressed. Steak was cooked well done when ordered medium. Portions/prices all agreeable. It really just came down to very poor service. Drinks not filled. Lots of staff and only 3 tables being served… they were more focused on closing than service. I understand wanting to leave on time… absolutely. Just warn your potential guests so they have the opportunity to choose to rush to eat or go someplace they can be there awhile.

    The white queso spinach dip and wings were great. The bartender, Ian, was very friendly and accommodating and pours heavy. Will def be back if ever in the area.

    Ordered the BW Famous Chicken Sandwich and was not disappointed! Chicken was flavorful and well-cooked. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to eat.

    Came here to get a bite to eat before a going to see a show. Was greeted and seated right away. Drinks came out quick but my wings and fries was another story. I believe the server forgot to put my order in because people who came in after me got their food before I did. She gave me my check before I got my food. She apologized and that's when I think she put my order in. My food was on the greasy side. Didn't care for it too much.

    We went in around 5pm on a Thursday and we’re told by the hostess (who was on her phone) that we could sit wherever we wanted. I had my husband and 2 kids (ages 10 and 3) with me and proceeded to go to the only table that had lower chairs. The bartender stopped us and said that section was closed, I told her we needed a low table for our 3 yr old and she said she would go ask. We waited by the bar for a couple mins then the manager approached us and assumed we had a To-go order. I asked again for a lower table and she refused and said that that section was closed. We left and found another restaurant nearby. I used to serve tables for 10 yrs and would have been fired on the spot for refusing such a simple request. Although I didn’t see this my daughter said one of the servers made nasty gestures at us as we were leaving. Totally unacceptable. This would never of happened under Max Ceasers watch (the old manager). March 24th 2022

    Fast and friendly service, nice atmosphere, and what matters most, an attentive and friendly server! Better than guy fieris place for sure!

    Really chilled place whenever I visited. The waitress was very very cordial. She was on top of ever aspect of service . Had a great happy fun personality . Food was good not anything spectacular about it but it was good.

    My complaint is primarily the super low resolution televisions for all of them except the few at the bar seating. Also couldn’t get football game on the big screen I guess because they don’t subscribe to it? It was a big ten game (and a pretty important one). Food was fine. Service was pretty good.

    Great service by Elainea and she makes fantastic margaritas! Had the white queso chicken wrap and it was astounding! Wife had the turkey burger version of the Great American and loved it. Most definitely will return!

    3 other people + me had to wait at front for 2-3 minutes before we was noticed by anyone working there. And to be seated. I ordered and ate a cheese burger with everything but onions & pickles. The hamburger was pretty good. But my fries were either flimsy, sogy, and tasted like it had been soaked in grease. Or were overcooked, brown, & crunchy. They weren't McDonald's fries that's for sure. Lmao. The tea was pretty good. I drank 4 glasses of it. Sitting at the bar I was hoping to see the bar tenders get fancy and tricky with the bottles when making drinks. But they weren't.

    Pretty good burger.. very filling.

    Waitress left off an appetizer. My sister ordered her fries crispy, she said she would try and they were not as ordered. Be mindful that we ate there a month earlier and my sister got crispy fries. I, myself, ordered extra Alfredo sauce because my food was dry. Again, the answer was that she would try. When my sister ask about the extra sauce again, she said hold on. She did bring it but it was cold. I asked for the manager, who was extremely rude. Will not ever eat here again. We have always had good experience but Saturday was horrible.

    I do not like to leave 1 star reviews, but this was def worth it. The only reason it should get 1 star and not 0 is because the staff was nice. We have been to many big whiskeys, with Tulsa OK and Branson MO being our favorites. This one was HORRIBLE. Our $25 steaks were 97% fat! The mashed potatoes were dry. Sweet tea was NOT sweet, it tasted soured like it had sat all day. Parking was not pleasant. We will NOT return to this location. Our ticket was over $90 for two of us and they clearly seen we did not hardly eat anything (kept offering to go boxes) yet they were not about to ask how our meal was nor did they offer to replace or refund anything. We left here and had to go through a drive thru to get full before going to our event. :(

    Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Our waitress was awesome and one of the few places in Little Rock that I've found to have good customer service. I tried the buffalo dip for the first time and it was pretty good. The tortilla chips were actually pretty good. I also had the ribeye steak and fries. Very delicious. I highly recommend this place.

    Stopped in for lunch before going to a play today. Walking in the floor was filthy and so greasy you slipped around like a skating rink. The manager had to take our drink order because our server was not around, once the server did come by she took our order, brought our food and got one refill of drinks, and half were wrong. There was about half occupancy so it wasn’t because they were busy. The bathroom, I have seen cleaner bathrooms in a college dive bar on a Friday night. Will not be returning.

    My dad and I enjoyed this place. Sat at bar as it was a concert night. Food was great, bar tender was great and we sat next to some good conversationalist.

    Seems like a great place to eat and watch sports. There were games on every TV which I loved. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was nice (good music). We ordered blackened chicken salad, southwest egg rolls, and veggie burger and fries - all were good. Would definitely try again. Good lunch spot.

    This location doesn’t have the same menu as the others Big Whisky’s. They do not have a gluten-free menu. The food arrived at different times due to having to wait on the frozen salmon. When the salmon finally arrived it was still raw in the center and the rice was cold. They were under staffed which led to scarce table service. Overall it was a disappointing visit.

    Excellent food (Whiskey Burgers especially) and friendly service. And they know how to make an excellent Old Fashioned.

  • 2/5 Terri S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wine glass had someone else’s lipstick on it. Salmon and broccoli was excellent. The rice tasted like it came out of a box but was dry. Service was fine. Our waitress was not one of the many staff members lounging in the corner. We were taken aback by this.

    Big Whiskey is an awesome place to eat and socialize , even tho our waitress walked out, the staff was quick to make sure our experience was the best,!! I will definitely be back. The food was suberb!!!

    I had high hopes for this place. The fried pickle and jalapeño appetizer was great. Service was not very fast but that’s understandable since it was pretty busy. They advertised in the ribeye steak description that they are not responsible for well done steaks, so I was like cool. They understand how to cook a steak. I ordered a steak medium and received a very well done steak. Nicely seasoned so it’s a shame they had to overcook it. The mashed potatoes were really good.
