   We fell in love with this hot new restaurant. The ambiance is perfect; the staff friendly and personable. The food was absolutely perfect. They have a nice selection of local spirits, wine and beer as well as others from other areas of the country and world. I love that the owners are there making sure everything runs smoothly and gave such a nice personal touch to our experience. They have a lovely mix of tables and comfortable booths, and the outdoor space is divine with such a nice touch with the outdoor fireplace. You can also just come in for casual dining and watch sports in the sizable bar. It is perfectly convenient for South Austin, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, and Wimberley. This is definitely a must try!

   This was my second time at Whiskey Ridge. We got seated 30 mins after our 7:15 reservation so we had a drink from the bar while waiting. Ambiance is great but the noise level is pretty loud. Food was delicious and our server Maddy J was terrific.

   When You can buy and grill HEB Prime filet or pay 65 bucks for the gristly meat here why eat out? Driftwood is Country and folks know HEB meat. The flounder was tasteless. Come on can you season the fish? Sides are on point. Bring some spoons. Dunno probably will try again. Nice Wine list,

   We’ve been three times so far . Heath was our wait person this time; attentive, personable, knowledgeable. He made our experience enjoyable! Walking in the door and being greeted by hostesses like Jesse, Lucy, and Cassie sets the stage for a great evening. They, too, greet you with a warm smile, ready to assist you. The chicken fried ribeye is a treat. My wife and I shared it. The last two times I couldn’t pass up the “Trouble Trouble Wagyu Burger”. The first time we shared one, not the second time.. :) They have a pretty cool bar, too, with cool bartenders! There are a myriad of drink selections; assortments of wine, beer, spirits. I’m fond of the smoked Old Fashioned, but I’ve GOT to try their frozen one next time! I suggest getting out in front and making reservations days ahead since it’s growing in popularity. If you can’t tell, we really like the place.

   The gumbo was excellent. Really enjoyed the chicken fried chicken , the mashed potatoes were a little different , almost as if they put a little lemon juice in them , but still good. The flounder was a nice sized piece , very tasty. Will definitely come back amd try again.

   Upon being seated we waited for nearly 15 minutes before a server checked in. BUT after that everything got exceeded expectations. Our server was Sharkey- she was wonderful. We don’t blame her for the stumble in the beginning (I don’t think her shift started until after we arrived). Everything we had was dynamite. The Mac n chz, the coleslaw!, bacon wrapped shrimp, and saugeed flounder, all really good. It is pricey, but also very tasty and great selection of food and drink. We’ll be back.

   Very good food and service. We had the prime rib special that was for at least 3 to 4 people and it was the best I have had. We had a group of 8 (which included 3 small children) and the server did an excellent job. It is a more expensive menu but worth it when you want a special experience. Portion sizes are very good. It does get loud inside and can be difficult to hear someone who is not seated next to you. You will most likely need reservations for a group of people.
