Whiskey 'N Rye Smokehouse

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 b

Agree with other reviewers that the chicken wings and loaded fries were the best. Burgers and sanwiches were well made. I thought brisket entree was a small portion but with prices of beef nowadays I guess it is justified. We waited for 30 minutes to get a table so make a reservation if you coming on weekend.

We ordered the brisket fries, filet mignon bites and the sweet chili wings. All delicious, but the wings are amazing! Perfectly crunchy and moist. Not spicy at all. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and was tender. The brisket fries would be last on my list to order again. Not because they were bad, but because we absolutely loved the wings and steak.

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! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
