This was our first time visiting Cabin Whiskey Grill. We arrived just before 5pm on a Saturday. A hostess seated us, and that's when there were some missteps. We weren't supplied a drink menu or any utensils, and then had to wait about 10 minutes to meet our server. I asked for the additional menu, and my husband eventually had to grab utensil bundles from the hostess stand. Once we met our server, though, our food was brought out at a good pace and she checked on us often.
We were seated at a table indoors but right at the edge by the patio. It was a lovely evening. The atmosphere was quite nice. Unlike some places, it was not horribly loud, even though we were between the patio and the bar.
The kitchen here is fantastic. We ordered the Famous Cabin Torpedoes for an appetizer: jalapenoes stuffed with pepperjack cheese and brisket, then wrapped in bacon. These were REALLY good. I can't do really spicy food, but I could do these! They had flavor, not scorching heat.
My husband had a ribeye and fries. He was impressed with how they cooked the ribeye--and he's picky about that.
I had a margarita (okay, nothing extraordinary) and Korean tacos. Again, I was impressed. Some restaurants use leftover meat for things like tacos. That was not the case here. The pan-seared steak was incredibly fresh and tender. I tried a dab of the accompanying sauce and found it waaaaaay too spicy, so I was a little worried that the tacos might be dry. Nope. The meat along with the slaw topping and some ginger was just perfect. Better than expected.
Our son had the kid entree with macaroni and fries, and he enjoyed it all. I had a bite of the macaroni and cheese, and thought it was good. We were supplied a container to take the last portion home.
Even though we kind of had to fend for ourselves at the start, the cook left us quite impressed. We'd go back for sure.
