The family and I asked for recommendations around town and splendidly ended up at Whiskey and Rye. They weren’t able accommodate 5 inside with the short notice but their patio heaters did the job for our evening dinner. Everyone in my family is a little picky and I am Vegan but we all ended up passing around the plates to taste and were VERY happy with the quality of our meal. Keri was an absolute joy as she helped me navigate the menu and offered great recommendations. It is restaurant week so I went with the 3 course meal and chose the smoked Spaghetti Squash which was full of flavor. My family got the wings, grilled salmon, and baby back ribs which they all raved about. They also had amazing craft sodas and zero-proof cocktails for a family that doesn’t drink. We would certainly come back again. Thanks Keri for making the experience memorable!

Long over due Review:

We have been here 3 times over the years and Jazmine was our server each time.
She provides amazing service, has a warm smile and bartends too.
We got a full rack of ribs which is huge ( half shown in picture ) , brisket, fried pickles and skillet cookie.
All the food was delicious especially the ribs.
For cocktails we got the country lemonade which is my favorite and a penicillin.
They have a huge whiskey list and if you buy a doulbe the 2nd shot is half off !

Highly recommend this restaurant and I’ll be back each time I visit Solvang.

What an awesome find!! We ran into this place, and what an amazing find! I have hands down never had brisket this good! To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement!
The food was awesome! The staff was nice! We really had nothing to complain about! We were stuffed full, and that was a good thing! We would definitely like to return to this place!

Came here for my first and last meal in Solvang and don’t regret it at all. Off the lunch menu I got the Carolina pulled pork sandwich, I’ve never had better pork. It was so flavorful and light, the coleslaw wasn’t overpowering and the bun was very soft with slight crispy edges. My boyfriend got the BBQ beast burger, the bacon was so crispy and flavorful and the onions worked so well with it. The seasoned fries were BOMB and the mac and cheese was to die for. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming as well, I highly recommend this spot!

Wanna say we found this jewel during our visit to the town and am not gonna waste the opportunity to leave a good review of this great place. Coming from Costa Rica, I went to celebrate my birthday on Oct 19th, we had a delicious dinner aligned with a top notch service; the waiting time was almost nothing, ended with a delicious cake with ice cream. I loved the atmosphere and in general a 20 of 10; great for any celebration, dates, groups or families. Hope to comeback someday soon to the beautiful town of Solvang, and of course, visit you guys again!

Food was good and portion sizes were decent sizes. A little on the expensive side. Brisket flavor was good, but not as smoky as I prefer (notice lack of smoke ring). Mac & cheese side was very good. Wife got the brisket chili that she really liked.

After checking restaurants for lunch we found this gem of a restaurant nestled at the end of the road. It is gourgeous, upscale, trendy. Matthew the maitre’d won us over. He was exceptional. We had a very friendly warm welcoming reception by him. Matthew gave us his full attention and answered all our questions. He was really genuine in having us as guests. He was very attentive in checking on us during our meal. The menu had several dishes that we liked. Our server was great, very patient and pleasant. There is indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor dining is surrounded by plants and shrubs, a garden setting. We chose outdoor seating due to the ideal patio weather. The ambience was warm, relaxing and comfortable. Our sandwiches were delicious. It was a wonderful experience over all. We will surely return.

This is a great place for a meat-based dinner when visiting the area.
The steak was excellent, and the brisket was amazing, one of the best I’ve had so far.
The local whiskeys tasting flight is really recommended!

Where to begin? My husband and I were driving back home from our anniversary trip to Monterey and we decided to stop in Solvang for dinner. After reading reviews about nearby restaurants we stumbled upon Whiskey ‘N Rye Smokehouse. We were able to make a reservation and the hostess greeted us with a warm smile and seated us as soon as we arrived. Our waiter was Jake. His recommendations on the menu didn’t disappoint but I think anything their amazing Chef Augusto and his staff make will hit all your taste buds! I ordered the Whiskey ‘N Rye burger with garlic smashed potatoes and elote corn quarters (so yummy) 10/10!! My husband had the smoked brisket with the three cheese Mac and BBQ baked beans! Everything was mouth watering good! Kudos to the entire staff. I paired my meal with the peachy old fashioned (best bourbon drink I’ve had) and my husband ordered the maple bacon old fashioned with a double shot (second shot is half off) both were so good! Not sure what we did to get our drinks comped by the Chef but we appreciate the gesture! Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant in beautiful Solvang!

This was an excellent meal on Father’s Day. We were in town and at my brother’s recommendation we decided to eat here. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal. We had a delicious jalapeño cornbread appetizer with honey butter that was the perfect texture. It was slightly chewy with a nice combination of sweet and heat. The meals were generous portions. The ribs were tender and meaty. The burger was delicious and the street corn was so good. The only bummer was that we were too full for dessert. Next time we will have to try it.
