It 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!

It was fantastic, my girlfriend has celiac and must eat GF. She was amazed at all the options available since EVERYTHING made in the restaurant if GF friendly. I do not have to eat GF and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Dinner was so good, we had to go back for breakfast the next day. Unfortunately we didn’t discover this gem until our next to last day of vacation or we may have eaten at Lilac everyday!!

Very good traditional Mexican food and margaritas. The staff was excellent; food was plentiful and very well made. Highlights, Chili Relleno, warm tortilla chips and the house made tortillas for the tacos and enchiladas were great. The margaritas were delicious and well made. This restaurant and bar is in a small strip mall, however the ambiance, food with the service could take you anywhere South of the boarder. Thank you

The 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. But trust me it’s gooooood!

One of my favorite places to be this time of year. Very quiet except for conversation and a groovy ambient music playlist, perfect for a solo dinner and monthly intention setting. Robert always greets me like a friend, and the servers are nice and attentive without being intrusive. Food is always great, and wine options are yummy+local. Can't go wrong.
