Whiskey Rel Sports Grill - Phenix City

Hubby and I came here on wimb as we are just driving through this small town. When we go out to eat, it's usually one appetizer, one entree, and dessert. We split the meal and always feel the right amount of fullness. Because the menu was not frivolous on food options, that's a plus. We decided to do a split on the meals. The fried pickles we got were crispy, although too salty. The ranch dip that came with it was good. Our entree was the surf turf with sautéed asparagus loaded baked potato. It just so happened that the cut of the beef was thick on one end and thinner on the other because hubby likes his steak cooked medium rare, and I like mine medium. So when he ordered it medium rare, it was cooked just the way we wanted due to the cut of the meat. Because of the seasoning on the steak, I didn't need the A1 sauce. The premium side dishes were decent. The banana pudding dessert was not extraordinary but good. The service was great. But dining at a local restaurant is always a plus.

Was great.. We got a double meat Cheese burger thinking the patties would be small like other restaurants. The patties were huge and very delicious!!

I really like the small town atmosphere and the food is great! Can't go wrong with the burger and fries! Nice bar!Plus it's practically the only thing Uber Eats will deliver where I live.

Our first time trying what I 've already coined, The Barrel . We were immediately impressed when we walked in the door. Great bar area, floor layout and hometown county ambiance. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful meal a few beers (each) and plan on returning again multiple times in the future. This might be the very first review I 've ever written and I 'm glad I saved it for The Barrel !

First off really good food and service but the point of me writing this review is because I witnessed something while there and I hope I’m wrong but I had payed for my food and was getting ready to leave and left a tip on the table for our waitress Danielle(really good service btw) but as I was going to leave and these two I’m guessing to be busboys (really young kids) were grabbing the cups and plates and one of them ran up and snatched the tip and put it in his pocket. I’m not bashing but I’m sure he had no means to hand it to the waitress who earned it and he will probably keep for himself now it looks like she never got tipped at all and I had a pretty big bill with a decent size tip I’m hoping to put this out there so others are aware of what they are doing
