Reviews for Village Whiskey in Philadelphia, PA
Average food with even more mediocre service. It is really sad because we were returning after a power outage where we didn’t... get the full experience so we were excited to come back. Unfortunately, service was very slow, 3 of the 4 entrees came out toonly have the only one that wasn’t cooked come out ten minutes later. For the food - Popcorn shrimp: there was too muchbreading for how small of shrimps these were. The buffalo aioli was delicious though Fried pickles: the only restaurant to havedone it right. Half slices that were fried so you didn’t lose all the breading after one bite (this too with the buffalo aiolifor a nice kick). Highly recommend. Tater tots: they had an odd bbq/smokey flavor to them. The smoked onion crème fraiche waseh. Double smash burger: not special. It wasn’t bad just not wowing. Turkey smash burger: oddly good, but too much bread forthe patty size Village burger: this is HEFTY. I mean a thick patty so be prepared. Juicy. Yummy. Recommend. Duck fat fries:didn’t taste any different than any other fries we’ve had. A little too thick for my taste. Smoked salmon BLT: DO NOT GET.The sourdough was too thick for the sandwich since there was barely anything in the middle. You barely get a SLICE of smokedsalmon, so little that you’re maybe tasting a little bacon, and certainly mostly bread. Very disappointing. Overall, fine foran American pub night out, or for happy hour, but otherwise there are too many other great places in the city to go to. Read more
Didn't realize it's been 6yrs since I last visited. I gave 4 stars because two important factors. 1) our server was not very... attentive and it wasn't busy, so there was no excuse. 2) The portion of the turkey burger meat. I know we're in a recession butthat patty was flatter than a pancake. The only thing that saved it was it was well seasoned. Please add more meat to the turkeyburger. I wish my friend would have ordered a beef burger so I could've compared the sizing. But she opted for a salad. Read more
Amazing high scale whiskey cocktail spot. They had so many literally so many options to choose from. The food was amazing too.... Our server did had amazing recommendations. The place is cozy and only have high top seating. So if you don’t mind your legshanging, definitely worth checking. I will put it on list for any whiskey lover or cocktail lover. The beer menu is very small. Read more
Personally I love whiskey and burgers. This place was beyond just that. The experience was phenomenal and our bartender... Margarito really knew how to run the bar. He was the only bartender for a busy restaurant during a Sunday brunch and made sureto pay close attention to each and every customer that came in. We had a whiskey flights, burgers, mimosas and popcorn shrimp.Our bill was very reasonable and we will certainly be back! Read more
Went because of all the positive reviews about the place and especially their burgers. It's a good spot for a casual bite but... wouldn't say it's a must go in town. The cocktails are very good, and the burger is quite good(however, it was too heavy for me,and it's too thick so hard to eat it in one piece). The fries were especially good! The service is good as well. Read more
Visited this restaurant today with a friend of mine and the food was really good! I got the bourbon French toast and it was... perfect. We also shared tater tots and they were good. The owner brought over my mimosa and we had a conversation with him andhe was so sweet and loved his personality! Definitely give this place a try! Read more
Overall had a nice experience, they was able to find seats for my family and I even though we did not reserve a spot... previously. I would say that the the atmosphere of the spot was nice and I enjoyed the dine in experience. The waiters andother employees were very nice! The fried shrimp that I ordered was a amazing!! The whiskey burger on the other hand "wasn't it"for me they said suggested that that was their best burger but just didn't taste good to ME. Also I asked them to make the eggon my sandwich well done *to fully cook the egg yolk* but when they came back the egg was not fully cooked! Other than that, myfamily said that the smash burgers that they ordered was very good! Also the chicken sandwich that they serve. Read more
Excellent service, tasty burgers, and EXCEPTIONAL sides! Coming here for drinks and a smorgasbord of sides would be quite the... move, I highly recommend (which is in no way an indictment against the meals; the fries and pickles were just that good). Slightcomplaint that the turkey burger was a thin fillet draped over the burger toppings (as opposed to the thick hamburgers), but itwas well-seasoned and tasty, so honestly, it's the mildest of slights. I will definitely return Read more
