- MMitchellLas Vegas •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe fried chicken was impeccable. Super flavorful and juicy. The use of chicken thighs was smart. Served with grits and breadcrumbs and butter pickles. Great combo. The cornbread can’t be humanly described.

- CCatherineLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined on 24 Oct 2026It was my first time trying Whiskey N Rye and I was not disappointed! The food and service were amazing! The location was in the center of everything! Also, a convenient parking lot right behind the restaurant was perfect! I tried their brunch but will definitely be going back to try their dinner!More infoWhiskey 'N Rye$$$$• Barbecue• Solvang•4.6
