Jacksonville, FL (RestaurantNews.com) Raise a glass River City whiskey fans — Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar is bringing bold, scratch-made flavors to Jacksonville this fall! Known for fresh, farm-to-fork dishes crafted from scratch and a commitment to locally sourced ingredients, Whiskey Cake serves up unique twists on classic American comfort food.
Located at 10209 River Coast Drive in the St. Johns Town Center, the new restaurant includes indoor and outdoor seating, with two separate bars for each, in addition to two private dining areas and a Whiskey Wall featuring more than 200 spirits. The new Whiskey Cake will accommodate over 350 guests, with an interior space spanning approximately 7,450 square feet, including an airstream that seats 12. The restaurant’s timeless design blends reclaimed details with modern touches to create a laid-back dining experience full of personality.
“We can’t wait to bring Whiskey Cake to Jacksonville,” said Ben Woodring, Vice President of Operations at Whiskey Cake. “Our passion for whiskey and craft cocktails runs deep — every year, our team travels to Kentucky to hand-select barrel blends you won’t find anywhere else. With our scratch kitchen and high-energy vibe, we’re ready to make this your favorite hangout in Jacksonville.”
The Whiskey Cake menu features options including Goat Cheese Fondue and crispy Flash-Fried Brussels Sprouts and entrees like the Rotisserie Farm Bird, Tavern Burger and Bone-In Pork Chop. Menu items like Whiskey Cake’s custom-crafted seasonal melts, stacks and salads highlight the best local ingredients, including from Jax Bread Co. and Bee Friend Farm in Jacksonville, in addition to Trevi Pasta located in central Florida. Finally, you can’t miss the famous Whiskey Cake — a sticky toffee cake, drizzled in a signature caramel sauce, topped with spiced pecans and house-made vanilla whipped cream.
Whiskey Cake’s award-winning brunch, available every Saturday and Sunday, dials things up a notch with favorites like the Carrot Cake Pancake Stack and the savory Wagyu Wake-Up Hash.
