So Wiskey has an array of burgers in it, probably the best selection of whiskey in Central Florida,
small location very well situated we came early they do a happy hour. Glass of wine is
$4 dollars. I would definitely recommend it if you are a whiskey connoisseur and if you like special burgers, they do a Wagyu burger. They also do an elk burger and then do a beer burger. Those are just three we decided to go for the Wagyu burger. I really enjoyed it

Awesome burgers at reasonable price coupled with awesome lineup of alcoholic beverages. Vibrant vibe, friendly staff, convenient parking, delicious food, what else can you ask for? This place became my go-to spot when I crave American food since I partially moved to Dr. Phillips.
Our new must go to restaurant while in Orlando. The burgers are so delicious!! 🤤 Staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable. 🤩 We like to enjoy an appetizer or two and split an entree or skip the app and dive into our own burger. 🍔 I had the Salty Pear burger and my husband had the Whiskey.
Great place and great food. The drink selection is one of the largest I've ever seen. We had the S & S potatoes and they were delicious. (Could almost have had them for dessert!) And the small batch whiskey burger. Again, delicious and juicy! Service was great and food came out on record time. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
Loved everything about The Whiskey. One of the best burgers in Orlando. Definitely coming back again to try the other burgers and drinks! I ordered The Whiskey burger and fried pickles. The patty was thick and juicy. The buns were crispy and firm on the outside, soft on the inside. Great structure on the burger. Fries were very crispy and well seasoned.
5 ⭐️ stars for those burgers. Food was really good. We had truffles fries, wings, burgers and tacos; all was tasty.
Unfortunately our waitress was not helpful or friendly. I thought it was me, but when we had another waitress bringing the food to our table we could see the difference.
In regards atmosphere I rated 4 because they at rock music most of time and loud. I personally don’t like that type of music.

I stopped into the Whiskey at happy hour and ordered off of that menu. Had the Small Batch Whiskey Burger, medium well done, and it was an incredibly good burger in every way. The meat was moist, well-seasoned and flavorful, and everything else on it is elevated compared to other restaurants. This had smoked Gouda, arugula, tomato, smoked bacon, whiskey onions and a dill aioli. The combo was outstanding and one of the best burgers I’ve had anywhere. Obviously, they have great whiskey/bourbon and nice cocktails overall. Atmosphere is casually sophisticated and moody in a good way. Highly recommend, would repeat.
We love the whiskey, cocktails, food, music, and service. The people that work there are great. It’s a mix of gourmet burger and drinks in a very chill atmosphere (love the metal and punk music). I wish it were closer I would visit every week.
Sadly, we did not get the hype surrounding the burgers/food here like many have talked about. We were very excited to try this place out as we were craving a great burger and this place topped the lists we had seen. We went early in the evening on a weekday to avoid any major crowds and to capitalize on the half priced appetizers for happy hour. We tried the bang bang shrimp, cheese curds, and fried pickles. The fried pickles were soggy and unapealing, the cheese curds were fine but nothing special, and the shrimp had a soggy tasteless batter on them and were over sauced for our preference.
Now on to the main attraction....the burgers. My wife ordered the Salty Pear (medium) and it was a huge dissapointment. The description had our mouths watering but it ended up being mostly tasteless. We could not put our fingers on what was wrong but with all of the flavorful ingredients on it, it tasted bland at best. My burger choice was the wagyu Royale (medium rare). The plus to this was it was cooked to a beautiful mid rare which is a hats off to the kitchen. Sadly, it too was a bit underwhelming for the price. Flavors were mostly muted and nothing really stuck out as "fantastic." Honestly, the best part of either of our entrees was the Sweet Potato Waffle fries. Those were perfectly crispy and had a hint of sweetness and cinnamon that made them absolutely amazing. 10/10 on those! The truffle fried were fine, but nothing to write home about. The seasonal carrots were pretty well cooked and nice and sweet so we'd probably recommend those as well.
The ambiance was fine overall. A nice mid-range bar feel. the small/narrow shape of the bar though made it extremely loud even though it was about half full or just over. It was also very dimly lit and just felt crowded with how many tables they tried to squeeze in there.
Overall, we will not be returning as it just did not meet the hype/expectations of the "Best Burger" in town. It was a fine burger, but for the price and other drawbacks it was simply not worth the drive.

Would go back. We loved their fried dill pickles that were homemade. Dark place but lit enough to see the menus and your surroundings. The hamburgers were great at medium rare.
