Shrimp and grits - to die for. Not enough shrimp though! Ask for the whiskey flights special for a taste of the best bourbon . The blackened catfish and Brussel sprout bacon hash are amazing!
The service leaves a lot to be desired, but the food is incredible. And if you love Whiskey , you'll be thrilled with the selection. Atmosphere is fun and upbeat, a little loud . The patio is great.
Had the Shrimp and Grits . Very tasty. Grits were really good. My wife had the fried chicken and collard greens. Chicken was tasty, but not incredible. The collard greens were awesome.
Menu is filled with southern/comfort standards. Cauliflower , the only veggie on offer, is super dry. The hummus is a good if u want healthy. Grits were a highlight. Decent fried chicken
If chicken pot pie is a special, order it!! It was absolutely perfect and enough for two people to share (w/ two sides). Apple cobbler was great, but a very large serving. Split it with friends.
When people say the collard greens are good, they aren't lying. I had them with fried oysters and a Port City Optimal Wit Wheat Ale . Great food, service and atmosphere!
Soulful vibe, a great stop for a drink on the mall . Little higher class vibe then other pubs on the mall . Good selection of local craft brews
Following a day at historic Monticello, check out this convivial joint nearby, where the Southern draws include pimento cheese sandwiches and fried chicken and collards . Read more
My favorite place for comfort food lunches and meaty sandwiches . The fruit cobblers and pies are top notch and have perfect pastry crust.
One of the best places to get a free live music fix on the weekends. As the name implies, also a great place for a whiskey ... Or three.
They unfortunately don't have GF bread , but they'll take the bread of their sandwiches for a good option for peeps with gluten intolerance . Love the Mason jar glasses!
Roasted Chicken Sandwich !!! So so so good. Seriously one of the most delicious sandwiches ever. Eat it.
Catfish was delicious, shrimp and grits were tasty and the fried chicken was well prepared and juicy
The food is great. I had a fried catfish sandwich and the taste and texture were perfection.
After a good bit of tinkering and tweaking, The Whiskey Jar's whole broiled trout tastes like perfection. Simple. Correct. Good. Get it. Get it good.
Excellent scotch selection and live music on Saturday. Not to be missed.
Outstanding. Mixers have strong attention to detail and service (I.e. you won't wait 10 min for your cocktail ).
Everything was delicious. Great drinks and yummy food. Would recommend sitting in a booth though. Pretty crowded .
Loved the Romaine salad w/ pickled cucumbers , but the chicken & dumplings were not what I expected! It is more like chicken noodle soup w/ a few dumplings , not thick & creamy like my grandmas.
Best Fried chicken in town - and great live music on certain nights! Collard greens are also fantastic. Yum!
No complaints about lunch fried chicken with collared greens, and fries and gravy on the side
If the pot pie special is chicken , get it. Even if you've only ever had Stouffer's. It even beats the fried chicken .
Great brunch and plenty of great beer to pair with
Knowledgable cocktail creators. Black-Eyed Pea hummus was Fergilicious.
Ask for your meats with the sauce on the side
Bartenders know their stuff. Make sure you get some drinks.
Excellent selection of craft beer . Nice atmosphere.
Great Fried Chicken , crisp baked on crust, moist flavored chicken .
Whiskey emporium with good food to match!
Beer selection to go with the whiskeys !
Try the cornbread , it is Amazing!!!!
The shrimp and grits is excellent. One of the best in town .
The brunch chicken & waffles is perfection!
Share the fruit clobber for dessert . It's huge.

I liked the forage salad and the catfish sandwich . Things came out quickly!
Great that the shrimp and grits are veg-head friendly . Thanks!
Tip your bartenders . They're great
