Whiskey 'N Rye menu: what to order
Whiskey 'N Rye calls itself a "polished casual smokehouse," and the menu goes past barbecue into steaks, seafood and a vegan plate. Prices from its dinner menu:
- Sampler Trio ($60): the way to try the smoker in one order, sized to share.
- Brisket ($35), hickory smoked, or ribs ($35 half rack, $45 full).
- Brisket chili ($24) or brisket dirty fries ($22) for the table.
- Jalapeño cornbread ($10): the side to add.
- Steaks: a 16 oz prime ribeye ($60) or a 6 oz filet ($48), if someone at the table doesn't want barbecue.
- Smoked spaghetti squash ($28): the vegan main, and the dish the restaurant itself points to when it says it isn't "a roadside shack."
There's also a Smokehouse Burger ($28) and salmon ($38). Prices change, so check the official menu before you go.
