    2nd time eating here and again not disappointed. Food (gulf oysters and flounder) were excellent. Fish plus the Cobbler for dessert were amazing. Good drinks and our waitress Chastity couldn’t have been better. Nice to have a restaurant like this close & where you don’t have to put with Austin traffic! Only negative is that they are booked! So plan accordingly. We’ll be dining here again soon.

    Service was excellent. Food: was ok, the NY strip was served swimming in au jus, which made the presentation look bad, and it drowned the steak. Plus it didn’t give any extra flavor. The strip was cooked perfectly medium rare but the steak was not tender for a wagyu strip. We also ordered the sautéed gulf coast flounder which they sub with Red fish because they sold out of the flounder, (we had a late reservation so we appreciated them for still being able to do the dish with another fish they had). The dish was good and we enjoyed the brown butter meunière sauce that was served with it. We also ordered a side of the mac and cheese and it was delicious. Bar: They had a great selection of whiskey (they had all the allocated whiskey also) and the drink my wife order was really good. Over all good experience, it’s nice to have a upscale restaurant in this area. Would go back.

    Whiskey Ridge did not disappoint! The food was amazing from the calamari, the redfish tacos, and the chicken fried ribeye! Everything was top quality. Our server, Mateo was truly the BEST ever. He was so friendly, attentive, and knew the menu thoroughly. We'll definitely be back and will bring our friends!

    Food and table service are top notch. Bar seems understaffed- we would have drank twice as much if we could have been served.

    We've been several times and really enjoy everything about it. The flounder is on point! Huge portion and took 1/2 home with me. The waitress was the sweetest and service was excellent. Well done Whiskey Ridge.
