Whiskey River in Peekskill, already a mainstay with locals, is also gaining a large following on Yelp with plenty of five-star reviews.
"Wanna grab some delicious drinks AND great food all in one spot? Consider this a MUST!," said one Yelper.
A look at the menu shows off their American-directed food that focuses on chicken sandwiches, codfish tacos, empanadas of the week, and burgers, including a black bean version.
"This little gem is one of the best restaurants in Peekskill," said another Yelper. "What I love the most is their menu changes every two weeks and it gets more and more interesting and delicious. I love their empanadas and I highly recommend them."
The menu does change depending on what is the freshest produce and fish at the time, as well as when the chef feels adventurous.
"Empanadas are always a win no matter the version and the fish tacos ohhh man.... I should have asked for two orders they were so tasty!," said another Yelper.
Don't expect to find a full-service restaurant when visiting. Whiskey River is a small spot, with a big emphasis on the bar, with, well, plenty of blends of whiskey. But don't let that keep you from sampling the food, which gets high marks.
"What a great place! Visited with my best friend for my b-day and we had a blast," wrote a Yelper. "Tried several whiskeys, the recommendation from the bar tender, and they were all great."
Some menu favorites according to Yelp reviews are the ever-changing empanadas, the burgers, and the tacos.
Food prices are moderate. Small outdoor seating, limited inside seating.
The restaurant is located at 38 North Division St., in Peekskill.
