We started with a few highly recommended appetizers. The Sesame Ginger chicken wings served with buttermilk ranch and the Roasted Broccoli made with a Rye Whiskey glaze!

When it came to entrees we couldn't pass up the 'Thief Burger'. Topped with bacon, cheddar curds, and a fried egg. Whiskey Thief's chef is none other than Austin Baker, creator of the infamous Au Cheval burger.

A generous heap of bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and a fried egg adorn the 'Thief Burger'.
