You can tell this is an amazing restaurant because it gets packed !! I have gone a couple times and it has never been empty. In my opinion lunch is better even though it is busy dinner time is crazy and it almost feels like you're in a club instead of a restaurant. Also because of the open kitchen it can get pretty smokey and hot. However that is nothing a cold beer can't distract you from The times I have gone to whisk the service has not been anything special but the food is GREAT! They have delicious sandwiches I have tried the grilled skirt steak, turkey and Brie. & the mahi sandwich, all are fantastic The hummus is some of the best I've had anywhere and as others have mentioned the bacon wrapped dates are to die for! Bbq pork and corn bread appetizer, fried green tomatoes and buttermilk chicken are all very good as are the burritos They have a nice wine and beer selection & lastly let me just say I usually don't like key lime pie, I am more of a chocolate or ice cream kinda girl.. But the keylime pie at whisk is AMAZING the perfect combination of creaminess and tart. I can't wait to go back for a smuttynose brown dog & a slice of pie

Thanks for the suggestions, fellow Yelpers. Because of you, I decided to finally try fried green tomatos, and I can't think of a better place for my first time because they were delicious! My sister was a skeptic at first too, but how could we turn down fried food? She thought the burrito was the best burrito she's ever had. I didn't really care for my grilled peach and proscuitto salad and the potato chips were a bit chewy, but I'd return to try it out again.

I was expecting more it's wasn't bad I guess I went in a very busy day and the food was not what I was expecting still I'm going to give it another chance

Another gem in Miami. Why can't Broward County have any places like this? We ordered the fried green tomatoes, portobella mushroom sandwich, sangria, and craft beers. I know some other things were ordered which we loved but I can't remember just what.

Wow! Absolutely delicious! We were there for lunch, and split the pork sliders and tuna melt sandwich. Unlike any we'd had before. Even the hot jasmine green tea was a welcome change. Cool atmosphere. I wish we'd had room for dessert; the list looked great. The only downside is the very limited parking. Otherwise, can't wait to go back again.

My husband brought me here for breakfast brunch. Aside from the parking, the food it's delish. I had the Eggs Benedict and Mimosa and hubby had steak and eggs. No complaints here. Gave it four stars...pricey.
(4)Sinead M.
Excellent! Had an awesome butternut squash soup & shrimp & avocado salad. Both very tasty. Only BIG issue, parking. There is very minimal. Get there by 11:45a for lunch during the week to have a shot. I would definitely go back!

After my first visit as a UYE, I could not wait to return just to have the yummy sandwich I had the first time. We were visiting a friend later one afternoon and decided to pop in for a late lunch/dinner. It was great, not crowded, parking right in front. Our waiter came over and got our drink order while he spoke with hubby about the burger they had since it was Friday. I ordered the Turkey and Brie sandwich, hubby got the burger which I can not remember the name. Nor, do I care to. We also ordered a side of spinach and mushrooms. As we waited for our food, I went to the restroom to wash my hands. Had been in here before so maybe it was just a bad day but it was in very bad shape. A stainless steel garbage can with a black lid does not quite work in a bathroom where you wash your hands go to grab a paper towel and the garbage is right below the paper towel holder. Water drips all over it. Then the base boards had so much dirt on them along with the floor. The floor was in bad shape as well. The smell was a moldy smell, get some bleach in there. So our food arrives, looking wonderful. The spinach and mushrooms were heavenly. Fresh, perfectly sauteed spinach with a good amount of small mushrooms in olive oil and lots of garlic. My sandwich was just as good as the first time I had it. The tomatoes were ripe, and so fresh. The ingredients they use are excellent. Hubby's burger was huge, huge, huge, it looked like a heart attack waiting to happen. He somehow managed to devour the entire thing. He loved it. He wanted me to try it but I just could not do it. OK, had to edit as Patrick L. pointed out the burger was called " The Bresaola Burger", in which he would love to try but he is trying to remain healthy, smart choice. Service was not bad but not good either. Our waiter never came to refill our water until I had to ask. He was nice but just seemed very content with his job. And I got the impression because their food is so good and people come, service is starting to slack a bit. Four stars is for their wonderful food, in which I am a fan, especially for that great sandwich and spinach and mushrooms. I can only hope service is better next time along with the restroom situation.

Love turkey and cranberry salad and the fried green tomatoes! Friday special: burgers. They are delish, only bad thing is you wear the burger fragrance since ventilation is not great.
(4)Alejandra F.
Awesome food! We were a larger group & were able to share a little bit of everything. I ordered a bleu cheese filet mignon, and found it a little heavy with the cheese, but mixed with the mashed potatoes, it was amazing! All of our friends raved about the bacon wrapped dates, but the grits sticks were my favorite. The fried green tomatoes weren't bad either. Apparently, the pork chop was the best my husband has ever had. The prices were pretty reasonable, especially for the giant portions we recieved. We sat right in front of the kitchen, which provided a fun view. Our waiter was just OK. Parking was a bit of a pain, but we were there late enough that we just parked illegally with no issue.
(4)Megan F.
Whisk has amazing food. It never disappoints! It's a bit loud, the acoustics aren't great, but the food is definitely worth it. And if you don't feel like dining out, they have take out. I probably take out from Whisk more than i actually have eaten there. Crave that gourmet burrito....yum!

Came here for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon. This place is off of 72nd located on a small little back road in South Miami. It is easy to miss and parking is very limited. Luckily, as I made my way on the street, someone just so happened to be leaving! As we made our way in, we noticed that the restaurant was very busy. Since we had a little less than an hour to eat for lunch, I was scared that we would not be able to be seated in time so I started to think contingency plan. We asked the hostess how long the wait would be for two and she said she actually had a table! Between the parking space and an open table, I knew that the food gods wanted us to have lunch here today! For appetizers we had the fried green tomatoes (5 come with it) with herb buttermilk dressing and bacon wrapped dates(4 dates) with gorgonzola. I feel like fried green tomatoes and bacon wrapped dates are the new trend for restaurants, everyone offers them now! Regardless, these were both very good, the tomatoes were firm thick slices encrusted in a crispy batter. The dates, bacon, and cheese melded perfectly although the bacon was a little burnt. Both appetizers were not greasy at all. For entrees I had the roasted turkey and dried cranberry salad and my sister had the roasted turkey sandwich on wheat. I don't know how we ended up getting different versions of the same thing, but I guess we both think the combination of cheese, berries, and turkey is delicious. Let me start off by saying these portions are very sizable for the price, and they definitely don't skimp on the turkey. The turkey in both our entrees was juicy, tasty, and plentiful. The brie was sooo creamy and gooey in her sandwich, the only downside is that the cranberry mayo flavor was very faint. The balsamic vinaigrette was very nice and light, it perfectly coated each piece of mixed green. I felt like it was the perfect amount of dressing; Enough to taste, but not too much as to overpower the flavor of the turkey, cheese, walnuts, etc. For dessert we shared the Warm Vanilla Bread Pudding with Fresh Strawberry Compote, Vanilla Creme Anglaise & Toasted Almonds. The bread pudding was warm and moist, the strawberry compote was sweet and tangy, and the vanilla anglaise was creamy and light at the same time. I know it sounds crazy to call a dessert healthy tasting, but it tasted healthy, but in a good way. Service was great, our waitress was kind and attentive and our water filled mason glasses were never empty. Random side note: All the waitresses were pretty. Who ever is in charge of hiring did a great job! Overall I give this place 4.5 stars( but Yelp doesn't allow that do they :/ ). What surprised me about this place is that I felt like everything I was eating was healthy, but full of flavor. Nothing was overly greasy, or heavy, or creamy. Just great flavorful food that did not feel like it was going to my waistline (I doubt it is true though). This is a great place to get a plate full of delicious food without busting the bank.
(5)Amit U.
come here for brunch almost every sunday - if the daily specials entice me. whisk always produces great quality food, however they need to vary their menu more and bring back old favorites like the fried okra.
(4)Maritza M.
Ok, once you get past the parking situation (and trust me, it's a deterrent), you'll find that this place serves unpretentious, downright DELICIOUS food. We had the pulled pork appetizer which was spicy and full of flavor. We also had the homemade chips, which were very good as well. My fiancee had the burrito (AWESOME) and I had a turkey/brie sandwich which was also good. But, BY FAR, if you happen to be in the good graces of whatever deity you choose to align yourself with, and they happen to have the buttermilk pie, please make sure to order a DOUBLE helping. To say this dessert was good is to say the sun is merely warm, to say the ocean is damp. This dessert was sublime. Sweet but not overpowering, flaky crust but not dry, I cannot even tell you what the tastes were individually because it was the perfect orchestration of flavors. It was incredible. Oh yeah, lol.... The service was GREAT, the ambiance was so not "Miami". Great place to go, but if you decide to go on a Saturday evening best you walk there....
(4)Freddy G.
Tania R. introduced me to Whisk and now I'm a fan. Last time I went, I had their burger which was HUGE and delicious. They also make a mean tuna sandwich and tasty salads. The service is great and the food is always fresh. Must try! 4 Stars!
(4)Lourdes W.
Hello, Delicious! Boom Boom Boom...my friend and I were greeted, seated, and satisfied in less than an hour. What this place lacks in tables (and parking), it makes up in taste! I didn't care if I had to be rolled out to my car, but I was going to savor every single bite of my turkey, avocado, cheese and bacon sandwich. The homemade potato chips with Parmesan cheese shreds are a must-have. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. I've worked in Coral Gables for too long and I wonder why wasn't I Whisked away sooner?!?!
(5)Whitney R.
Wow! Oh Wow! Whisk will you be my lover? My Foodie partner? The one I go to in the middle of the day when I just can get enough goodness? Yes. I had been drooling over the possibility of going to Whisk every time I sign into Yelp and see it sitting there in the newly reviewed box. All those stars, it dazzled me! I finally had a day off from work in which to venture to the little spot hidden in the gables. Once I walked in and sat down we ordered iced tea which was fresh and cool. We started with the Aged Cheddar Pimento dip. It was served with perfect tortilla chips (the kind they have in San Diego where I grew up, they tasted like heaven). The dip was flavorful and the kind you go "ooooo" as soon as it hits your tongue. I ordered the Veggie Sandwich which was sprouts, avocado, tomato, onion, red lettuce mix. My dad got the Friend Green Tomato sandwich with bacon. They served it with an herb dressing that made it orgasmic. Over all this is the best lunch I've had in FORVER! The price was right, under $30 which underestimates what great quality of food you get. I told the waitress as we left, "Man, you guys earned those stars on Yelp!"
(5)Vanessa S.
Ok ok ok, first I have to say... I read the reviews, my friends tried it and raved but it wasn't until I read the baked roast beef sandwich description that I decided today would be the day I'd eat lunch from Whisk, and boy was I sorry I waited! First things first, I called to ask a few questions since I'm not familiar with the menu and the person on the phone was sooo nice! You know in Miami people always seem so annoyed when you ask questions, this was so refreshing. Then, when Carlos showed up with the delivery he was another sweetheart, not the usual "Here's your food, where's the money delivery guy."... he asked if we had menus and made some conversation. Finally to the food. I had the tenderloin salad.... gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, shaved tenderloin and a spring mix.... mmmmmmmmm. I'm not a big salad eater, but this was yummy. My coworker had the baked roast beef... one bite in he was in love. I can't wait to hit this place up on a Friday and try the burgers! Thanks everyone for convincing me to try Whisk!

Went to this place last Monday night after reading a lot of good Yelp reviews about it. Although, overall, it was an "OK" dinner experience it doesn't justify any more than a 3-star rating (which is probably even somewhat generous). Considering the many good reviews, this place didn't really impress me. The fried green tomatoes appetizer and sauce that came with it were very good. In terms of presentation, pretty boring ....just a bunch of fried green tomatoes on a white plate....you be the judge whether that's important to you or not. I guess they just try to keep things simple. Still tasted good though. A few things that bothered me as a customer.... The waiter was polite and not unfriendly but he had zero personality. He was also not very attentive - never asked if we would like another glass of wine, would like to order or needed anything else throughout the entire meal. My water glass was empty and was never refilled. While deciding which dessert to order and asking the waiter about the dessert options I dropped the hint that it was the wifey's birthday. Getting a small birthday freebie for her, like a brownie would've been a nice gesture of course but I know not all restaurants do that and, thus, didn't fully expect it. But not even a simple "Happy Birthday" from the waiter is unacceptable, in my opinion. The wifey asked if she could get a different side dish with her main course (sauteed spinach instead of the roasted herb and garlic potatoes) and although they both cost exactly the same on the menu there was a $2 extra charge for this. I find that annoying, especially considering she didn't order some 7 or 8-dollar sandwich...the fish sandwich daily special she ordered cost more than some of the entrees they have on the menu. ------- My turkey sandwich was pretty good but sounded a lot more exotic on the menu with the "brie and cranberry mayo." Basically something I could've easily made at home. Key Limepie dessert was small but good...it didn't have that exaggerated artificial lime taste to it that many restaurants seem to think their customers expect from this dessert. The positives...the red wine I ordered tasted great (I believe it was from Spain, $6 for the glass) and I did like the interior of the place and, overall, the food was good and tasted fresh (although it didn't exactly blow me away, either). I would go there again and give them another chance but the bottom line is, this first visit didn't impress very much.

Good food, cute-as-can-be interior, and friendly people. I am definitely a fan of this place. I had a hard time finding it at first because it's in a small shopping plaza, and it has a small sign. It's near Havana Harrys (but don't park there or you will be towed- as the sign inside Whisk warns). I went for lunch yesterday around 2:30PM. The place is small, and I was lucky to get a seat at the long table near the window. A couple more people joined my table as I perused the menu. I liked the cozy atmosphere inside and I didn't mind the community-table type set up- it's nice, you get to meet people. But, this would be something to keep in mind if you are going with a lot of people or are in a loner mood. A few people popped in and out picking up to-go orders. The food and atmosphere reminded me of cafes in other places I have lived - Boulder and Ann Arbor- more than Miami. It was kind of a fresher, upscale version of Southern favorites (at least that was the menu of the week). Weekly specials were written on a board and also on a simply printed menu. I heard that they change their menu often. It was my first time there, so when I go back I'll see what kind of changes they make. I overheard the owner explaining the chef's training in Southern kitchens and how he moved up from sous chef to his own place. I also heard they are looking for a bigger space. I was torn between a veggie sandwich with hummus and veggies, the veggie plate with a mix of grilled and sauteed veggies, the fried green tomatoes, and the beet salad. I wanted something light, like the salad, but I really wanted to try the fried green tomatoes. Since I was dining alone I didn't want to order or spend too much money. The server helped me out by offering a half order of the fried green tomatoes even though that wasn't listed on the menu. My food was very good. Perfect amount of dressing on the salad and very tasty beets. There could have been a bit more goat cheese. The fried green tomatoes were good, but not great. My half order was decently sized, though, with 3 large slices. Overall, I think this is a good lunch or early dinner spot (they close at 7). The parking can be tough, and the prices are a bit high. My total bill was around $15. Maybe not bad for some, but I can't afford to spend $15 on lunch on a regular basis. But, when I want a cute, friendly place to have a nice lunch I would definitely choose Whisk. TIP: the owner said the best time to come (to get parking and avoid a crowd) is before 12 and after 3.
(4)Carolina N.
Everything is good at Whisk. The food is worth the wait and the parking hassle. Anything they make with grouper is delicious - the tacos, salad, and regular entrees. I also love the steak sandwich, hummus, and the burger, which is only served on Fridays. They also serve great lemonade and key lime pie.
(5)David M.
Fabulous. Great food. Outstanding flavor. Would come back again and tell all my friends
(5)Fiona M.
I wanted to give this restaurant a fiver but unfortunately there was a slight mess up. Love the decor of the restaurant and the whole homey feel. OK let me talk about the mess up...i ordered the grouper and it was under cooked. I asked the waiter if the fish could be cooked a little bit longer. He was very gracious and brought me a whole new meal ( i had taken two bites of the first one). I thought that was very nice! I would come again...i keep thinking about the bacon wrapped dates!!
(4)Alessandra G.
I went on a Saturday night around 7 and to my surprise it wasn't crowded! I waited less than 5 minutes to get a great table...the restaurant has a warm and energetic atmosphere, the kitchen's open for all to see and the staff is welcoming. We started off the the hummus which was delicious! We also tried the cornbread..which was lukewarm and not the tastiest... For my meal I had the half order of burritos. It was AMAZING! Served wrap style it wasn't messy like one would think...it was perfect. It was also very the perfect portion and I was extremely satisfied. I tried my friend's churrasco teriyaki..fantastic as well. All in all I WHISK was awesome. Can't wait to go back. Great, convenient location as well. Go! :)
(4)Krupa H.
After reading all of the reviews, I had to try this place out. I decided to get it to go since I heard the place was small. I got the Whisk House Salad which was just ok because I did not really like the dressing, and I got the their roasted fingerling potatoes on the side. The fries were mediocre for me as well. Since this place has gotten so many good reviews I will definately still come back and sit down to eat and try something else and hopefully have a better experience, and the place was tiny inside so this is not a good place to come with a group.
(3)Florence Y.
It's been a long time coming! Baked roast beef sandwich with this apple-walnut tasting salad...hmm...mm...good! It was worth the $13.95? I stole chips from Ana P's plate...non stop. Iced tea in mason jars just made it taste better..and yes I was stuffed but I still shamelessly "shared" the key lime pie with fellow table mates! I believe they switch up their menu every week. So always check them out online before you head over. Tip-bits: Prepare to wait close to an hour during lunch times Park in the front...if you are lucky enough to find any Park across the street, metered parking In the small plaza beside Havana Harry's
(4)Norma S.
The food was amazing! the service outstanding.I love that its such an intimate setting. We had shrimp and grits, chips, and the key lime pie. Everything was DELISH! we practically inhaled our food I went there for lunch with my husband and baby.I did not even dare try to waltz in their with my stroller. I ended up sitting on one of the high top tables and put my baby in the carrier and wore her while we ate. Totally worth it.. I will be going back minus the mini me.

Best Restuarant of Coral Gables - Miami New Times 2010 Place is family owned / run & every time I have dined there, the experience has been exceptional. Fresh, organic ingredients combined with reasonable prices & creative menu make Whisk Gourmet a real gem Burger Fridays ---- Best Burger out there. Pulled Pork Burritos, Steak Sandwich, Tuna, Charleston Chicken Salad are other standouts. Small dining area with only a few tables. Constantly packed but wait times are minimal. Heard the rumours regarding expansion into new larger location & hope they are true. Whisk is a winner & def should be experienced ...
(5)She Wolf B.
this place is mediocre at best. the food was neither great nor awful...just eh. i found for the most part that everything was pretty flavorless. the fried green tomatoes were greasy as was the ridiculously over price wet with oil tasteless fried chicken! sorry guys bacon does not fix everything...try a better recipe for the chicken and lose the bacon...that dish was greasy enough without it! as for the service...well there is none! the staff was far more interested in playing with one another than in serving. the waitron/order taker had zero personality and even less interest...hint...suggestive sell...or perhaps just a tad of excitement about your product??? on a high note when we were outside leaving one of the kitchen staff was outside, as they were now closed, and he was lovely...perhaps he would serve you better out front! i think this place is riding on its word of mouth hype that rests precariously on the fear of going against the status quo...a few more outside the south miami clan visitors who arent afraid to not agree with the "in crowd" and your gig will be up...just saying....
(2)Mike S.
The churrasco sandwich was soggy and the meat was tough. It also had too much tomato and that was all I could taste. The chips were greasy, hard, charred, and unappetizing. This made me wonder if they even took the time to taste their own food, I would not put my name on anything they served. The dining area was the size of a bathroom. My friend was in the middle of eating but the manager began discussing a catering event with a customer while literally straddling him. It was certainly an uncomfortable and unwelcoming dining experience. Maybe I have a brain tumor that is altering my sense of taste and touch? I don't understand how there are so many great reviews.
(2)Patty S.
I have NEVER had a better tuna sandwich. NO JOKE, it was delicious!! The fried green tomatoes are absolutely mouthwatering, and the sauce that comes with the dish couldn't compliment them more. Although those are the only things i have tried here, i also have heard that the pulled pork burrito is excellent as well as the fried green tomato burger. However the place is pretty small, only a few tables, and some are shared by several customers at a time since they accommodate more ppl. Despite this mild inconvenience i couldn't help but give it 5 stars for the great food, especially the tuna sandwich!!! I could have it every day of my life.
(5)Andres P.
Whisk a hidden gem, please stay that way! read about it and decided to try it for lunch during the holidays, WOW what a surprise. The place is small but inviting, tables are shared by patrons and enhance the ambiance and encourage you to talk to your neighbors, try it... Now, lets talk about the food. for an appetizer I ordered blue cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, the bacon was crispy the dates firm and the blue cheese gooey, one word.. orgasmic. As a main course we shared the shrimp and grits and a mahi sandwich. The grits were cooked perfectly and the shrimp were delicious. The sandwich was served on a fresh multi-grain bread which was crusty outside with a soft interior and a fresh grilled mahi with a side of greens, simple but perfectly cooked. Will definitely go back! Please keep this gem a secret so we can continue to enjoy it!! remember Shhhhhhh.
(5)Cintia J.
Just came back from having lunch at Whisk Gourmet! It was delicious! I had planned this lunch a few weeks in advance since they are only open M-F from 11 am to 7 pm and it is hard for me to get to Coral Gables on the weekdays. It was worth the wait! We had the Friday Burger with the homemade chips (gorgonzola cheese, bacon, red confit onion), the turkey, avocado, tomato sandwich, the butternut squash coconut curry soup (one of the best soups I ever had) and the key lime pie for dessert (we wanted the blondie but it was still in the oven). All the plates were excellent! The place is small but we did not have to wait very long for a table. Our waitress was very nice and offered her advise on the dishes like add bacon to the turkey sandwich, which bread to get for the sandwich and which dessert she preferred. We found parking fairly easy across the street with the only inconvenience of having to cross busy Le Jeune Rd. I highly recommend it! They also offer catering and I plan to use their services the next time we have an event.
(5)Derek S.
Eclectic, gastro-style, good. Friendly staff, super busy on Sat. Night. Meat in the side of rice and beans...wish I would have known...
(4)Esther G.
Whisk has the kind of food I daydream about. I need to branch out and try other things on their menu, but first I have to get over my love affair with the turkey avocado sandwich on multigrain with bacon. Everything is so fresh and flavorful and wholesome. The homemade potato chips with black pepper and parmesan are irresistible. It's a bit pricey for lunch -- especially when you factor in delivery -- but what a treat!
(5)Rachel L.
*THIS* place exemplifies why I use Yelp - when I visit my family and friends in my hometown [and assuming I find an awesome under-the-radar spot], I'm totally "in the in". This place made me "in the in" with family and friends alike. Mere blocks from my house, I might have missed this unassuming restaurant nested in a small shopping area. Just remember: it's between Havana Harry's and Ponce. You better not miss it. And, you better try to find street parking because this place gets SLAMMED. So, what do I recommend? Oh, everything. Seriously. I am ordinarily a woman / grrl full of complaints. But, not here. Everything I tasted was extraordinary and fresh. When I close my eyes, I can still taste the absolute best fried green tomatoes I've ever had. For my entree, I following the recommendation of my waiter, Dan [who is my favorite waiter in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD]: the spicy seared beef. Holy Argentinian-Thai bliss! It was out of the world. I loved it so much that I hoarded it, and opted to finish the other half of my sister's Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Organic Spinach Salad as well as chomp down on my man's mahi-mahi sandwich [rather than finish my own food...]. This experience - of all the different flavors was sheer bliss. Ok, I lied. I had one complaint. I wanted more seasoning in the fried chicken batter. But, I passed that comment on through my man Dan, and the chefs said they'd consider it. Now THAT is service for you. This is one of my my new faves in Dade.

I went last week, mainly because everyone talked so much about it, i had the burger with what appeared to be asiago cheese. it was good, but not spectacular. my wife had the coconut skirt steak, she liked it alot. would i go again? probably, i really want to try their buttermilk chicken. she loved the lemonade... it truly tasted like pure lemon.
(4)Robert W.
I like this place. Food is great quality. Parking is hard to find.

*BIG FRIDAY "Blue Smoke" BURGER - 8oz. Sirloin Beef Patty w/ Gorgonzola Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato. Rolled out of bed (and I do mean rolled out of bed), and my first thoughts were = it's friday/ whisk burger/ damnit who's calling me. After doing a quick errand, I went en route to Whisk. After getting flipped off on the expressway for no good reason, I reach Bird Rd and after a few blocks, call whisk and make my order to go. Not a fool, I know it's gonna be packed. I get it, walk out the door, get in my car, go to a gas station to get an arizona 99 cent drink, and take my burger to the nearest incognito spot around, a park. I pull in and park in the shade and like a secret affair, have at it with little regard to dining mores. First two bites were good, but nothing amazing. And then came the gorgonzola cheese and that just opened up every single flavor in the burger. Amazing. I, also especially like their in-house chips, but I wonder if they'd ever try mixing that in with sweet potato chips... Also, they have like, 7 parking spots... for about 5 businesses in the plaza. I'll leave it at that. Still worth the wait. Best burger in miami.
(5)Justin F.
You will not be disappointed in any way after visiting WHISK !!! Fried Green Tomato sandwich or Spicy Beef are bomb !
(4)L Y.
Food was great, but lack of service. No proper introduction, no smile, cut off our sentence at the middle of ordering, did not even received a thank you or good bye at the end. I think I had gotten better service in a fast food restaurant.
(2)Andrew P.
Whisk has all the right ideas (thoughtful, creative menu with a matching atmosphere, enthusiastic staff) but comes up short sometimes on execution. The vibe suggests they are focused and will be getting better soon, but I don't know how long it's seemed that way. The wine selection was solid, prices fair, and staff only added to the experience / atmosphere. I will be back and am really pulling for Whisk to come through. In the meantime, it's still a solid option and worth the trip.
(3)Emilio F.
Food was great. Fresh and light. I went there looking for the Burger but they only offer it on certain days. Seems like they change the menus all the time. First time here. Had the burritos and a tuna sandwich that was out of control. Beware the place is small so you might have to wait. Parking is another pain, but it is all worth it.

Wow! This is everything we expected and more! My husband and I went on a Saturday afternoon and found that the restaurant was super packed; while we waited for a table, two seats at the bar opened up so we decided to take those since we were starving! We started with the fried green tomatoes, which can be described in one word: DELICIOUS!!!!! I think I could eat 4 orders of these! Om nom nom! Their lychee sangria is amazing and very refreshing, especially given the 100 degree weather we've been having lately! When the food arrived, I found myself having the best tuna melt sandwich I have ever had. It was so rich in flavor! Everything from the sauce to the thick cut bacon was delicious! My husband had the pulled pork sandwich, which was a monster of a sandwich and he loved it as well. I wish we would have had room for dessert because everyone who came in wanted to take a piece of their carrot cake. Maybe this will give us an excuse to go back! Overall, great service, incredible food, and cute little spot! This is our new hidden gem!

First time here, my husband and I order a cornbread which was good (tip add grown pepper on the butter ) I order a filet sandwich with blue cheese sauce (not good) the bread wasn't homemade and it was sweet and the combination with the Bibb lettuce and tomato it wasn't a good mix but my husband have the fried chicken which was delicious the mush potato was perfect and the fried chicken good , We didn't eat dessert because the one that we want wasn't ready buuuu I drink sangria of lychee that was a perfect!!!!

Sat with very hungry toddler for 10 minutes, no one came by. On my way out, there were three waiters talking away. I told them about my experience and walked towards my car. Parking lot is very small, and service (based on today's experience) is poor.

YUMM .. best birthday dinner ever

This place is one of Miami's (not so hidden) gem. I'm sure you've heard someone say how good the food is, and I promise it will not disappoint. I've eaten here several times, and I've never had something that I did not like. I usually try something new, only because the menu has sort of changed each time I've gone. I had the most amazing fried chicken sandwich the first time I went & I keep going back hoping that I will find it on the menu again - no luck yet. The appetizer are a must! I suggest you also split the main course. My boyfriend and I order something different and then split it in order to try both. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is due to how small it is & how packed it always is so parking is a mission! Hopefully you get lucky enough to catch someone as they're leaving. Other than the parking, everything else is wonderful, including the service.

Recommendation: Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs Big flavor in this hidden gem. It's a pretty tight restaurant, but the food is great.

I came here last Sunday for brunch with some of my friends from med school. The restaurant is located in an off to the side strip mall that's seems to actually look like it's in a residential neighborhood. Parking is extremely limited, so plan to park further away and walk a while. The restaurant itself is pretty small and quaint, which lends itself well to a brunch spot. I decided to get the eggs benedict and a mimosa. First off, I loved the mimosa. The orange juice they used had just the right amount of pulp and it was just absolutely delicious. However, it was like 10 bucks which was a little pricy for my taste, since other places give you bottomless mimosas for just a few bucks more. The egg benedict was delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached. I would barely touch them and the yolk would run out. The portion size was just right, but I've definitely gotten bigger portions for about the same price. Overall, WHISK is a solid place for brunch. I would probably come back again, but not weekly just because it's a tad pricy. Although I've definitely had better brunch experiences back in California, WHISK is just a tad behind. Definitely a good place to try.

This menu is not light. This is all out hearty, homestyle southern food. Delicious! I loved the bacon wrapped dates and the crispy brussel sprouts. The wine list is one of the best I've seen in Miami. I shall return to try their fried chicken. Downsides: parking, sometimes very crowded.
(4)Lucila I.
The food was great, and the presentation as well. I went with work friends during our lunch hour and it was pretty packed. The place is nice and cozy. They only downside was the noise. The acoustics of the place a really bad and we could barely hold a conversation without yelling.

We came here to get brunch on a Saturday afternoon... but to kill our excitement, they only have brunch on Sundays! :( we were so sadddd. But it was all okay b/c their non-brunch menu was still SO DELICIOUS! A friend and I shared the chicken' biscuit (appetizer) and the Southern Pulled Pork Burritos and it was more than enough food for us. We ordered the chicken biscuit b/c the couple next to us was eating it and it looked SOOO GOOD. and when we got it, the group on the other side of us asked us what we ordered saying they should've ordered that haha. And I must say, it was pretty darn delicious. I would definitely order it again. It's fried chicken on buttery biscuit with some kind of sweet sauce? It wall went super well together. The pulled pork burritos were also good. It comes in 2 burritos, so it's perfect to share. It sort of reminded me of a Chipotle burrito? hahaha, but I guess it was better than that. I wouldn't mind order this again either.. but want to try other things on the menu.. so I probably won't. The staff here was SOOOO nice and SOOOO funny. They definitely made our day. Everyone seemed sort of hipster-y? hahaha. They made us laugh the whole time we were there and I really appreciated that. I would recommend this place to friends visiting Miami! :)
(4)Stefanie M.
I love it every time. This is one of, if not the best of the restaurants in the South Miami area. The food is consistently great. I love sitting at the bar, which is more like a dining bar although they also serve food and wine, and ordering appetizers. A must order every time is the fried green tomatoes. I also really like the chicken biscuits appetizer. My go to orders include the Caesar salad, which has shaved Brussels sprouts, and the hummus sandwich. I also always check the specials - there always seems to be a great fish sandwich on there. Regardless of what you order, you always will know that the food is fresh and awesome. You really can't go wrong at Whisk.
(5)Melissa J.
I've been here twice so far and I must say, they don't dissapoint. The ambience is cozy and the staff is awesome. I've tried the pulled pork burrito (which is one of my favorites and large enough for 2...or one extremely hungry person), the crab cake, fried green tomatoes, and the swordfish sandwich (all of which were delicious). For dessert, I had the bread pudding which was insanely huge and so good that I'm considering ordering it as my entree next time. I will definitely be back to try their fried chicken, especially after reading on the bathroom wall that it's award winning...great marketing strategy guys, it worked. Thanks for the great service and food.
(4)Rachael B.
Yum Yum Yum!! This place makes my Southern heart happy... The service here is fantastic and the restaurant is cute, modern, and lively. Being from Charleston, SC I appreciate their effort to provide southern favorites like shrimp and grits and chicken & waffles. While the food was great, it isn't 100% authentically southern, but maybe as close as it gets in Miami. I recommend the chef salad and the chicken biscuit! The chicken biscuit came with this amazing sweet/spicy sauce that was unlike any sauce I've ever had. Veryyyy good! I've also heard this place is great for brunch. I'm sure I'll be back soon to test the theory.

Order Banana Bread Pudding, this review is over. Okay, so we ended up here randomly but I can't turn down a good brunch. We sat at the bar because this was incredibly packed, it isn't a huge space but it is just right. Parking is a bit on an issue because well it's south Miami and parking is always an issue. They do offer valet parking but the space is so small that you are better off finding parking in the side street. Looking over the brunch menu the selections were truly original, I order a small stack of Fried Green Tomato's and my husband ordered Huevos Rancheros - as we waited on those we also ordered some Bacon Wrapped, Gorgonzola Stuffed, Medjool Dates and Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts. Personally the appetizers were better than the entrée. The Fried Green Tomato's were good but a bit much I couldn't eat them all. My husband truly loved the Huevos Rancheros and highly recommends them. The Dates were a small portion and they were so good that I would probably suggest ordering two (each come with only three dates) apart from that order some panther coffee with some banana bread pudding. I would go again and again just for the desert.
(4)Brent S.
What a great experience! Recently, went here with couple of friends the place was entirely cool, quick service, delicious wine, elegant dishes and affordable prices.

This place is just hands down AWESOME! Super amazing little gem hidden within sunset place. I literally mean hidden because as soon as my gps told me I have "arrived at my destination", the first thing I thought was "where the heck am I?!!" Before actually using my eyes to look for their delicately written name "Whisk". I had a nice little girls brunch with my friends Katlin and yzzy. We shared EVERYTHING cause we simply wanted to try everything lol. So we started off with their chicken tortilla soup, corn bread, and bacon wrapped stuffed dates. The tortilla soup was by far my most favorite thing! Packed with incredible flavor and the serving is pretty big compared to the price. Very much worth it + leftovers to take home woohoo! You may think cornbread sounds plain and boring... BUT NO! They serve a fluffy small loaf of cornbread with spiced honey butter. I don't care for cornbread but this honey butter pairing won my heart and I now have a newfound appreciation for cornbread. The bacon wrapped dates were stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese. I'm not the biggest fan of Gorgonzola because I prefer mild cheese over strong, but I had no problems with this! I guess the mouthwatering, perfectly cooked crispy bacon over powered the strong Gorgonzolaness because the cheese came off weak. Me gusta! So entrees... We shared their blackened fish (I forgot what kind of fish) sandwich and some kind of shrimp salad. Make sure you ask for extra greens in your salad because they don't give you much to begin with so the ratio of lettuce + toppings is off... and it's free anyway. The shrimp is as fire as the cilantro ginger vinegarette dressing! Very light, very healthy. Plus it has avocado, win! The blackened fish sandwich was served in a fluffy semi sweet hamburger lookin bun. The bun was my favorite part about this sandwich cause it reminds me of fuddrucker's buns. And as for their service... It was a little TOO good. Everytime I set aside a small empty plate so that yzzy could pass some of the salad onto it, a sever would immediately come up from nowhere and pick it off the table for me. This happened twice. Talk about ninja server skills! Beware.
(5)Joanna S.
I have been here twice now and this place is just awesome! It is a very small place that does not take reservations and has limited parking so be prepared for that. The quality and taste of the food along with the originality and freshness make this place very unique and amazing. I had the homemade soda of the day which was strawberry vanilla and was very flavorful and not too sweet. I also had the white lychee sangria mmmmm. We got the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they are very crunchy and flavorful. I then had the homemade grilled tuna melt sandwich with house made chips, out of this world! My bf had the ribs and they were fall off the bone full of flavor and just a great dish! We had the cheesecake for desert as well and it was awesome. We will definitely go back whenever we can and try the rest of the menu. This place is a little pricey but we'll worth it for the quality.
(5)Denise C.
We planned a double date for tonight and for days we talked about different restaurants to go to. Finally.....we decided to go to Whisk Gourmet and it was the best decision ever! A small and cozy restaurant indeed! The moment you walk in the delicious smell of food quickly lures you in. It was about a 30 minute wait for the table at around 7 pm but well worth it. I suggest sitting at the bar and ordering the white lychee sangria. Amazing and refreshing! Once we sat down, our server was fantastic. She was welcoming and friendly and made great recommendations. We decided to order several starters and each couple shared an entree. We started off with the fried tomatoes, the brussel sprouts, the corn bread with honey butter, the fried corn on the cob, chicken and biscuit and bacon wrapped dates. Every single dish was so tasty! My favorite was the fried corn on the cob and fried tomatoes. Our entrees were fried chicken with mash potatoes and spicy beef with white rice and spinach. After such amazing plates, we ordered the Nutella butter cream cake! The name says it all folks...you can imagine how incredible it was. We can't wait to come back and we will continue to recommend this spot to all our friends! Fantastic food, service and beautifully decorated restaurant!

I brought my husband here for dinner tonight. Being 9/11, I simply asked if they had any specials for Military or Firefighters. Their thoughtfulness to the service showed from when we arrived we were immediately seated even though there was a small wait and the manager comped my husband's entire meal. The ambiance and selections were delicious, and our waiter Jacob was great. Thank You, can't wait to come back back and dine again.
(5)Denise W.
Wow. That is the first word that comes to mind. This place is so amazing. We went there because it had been featured on diners drive in and dives. We have always had good luck with their recommendations and this was no exception. The grilled pork chop was so tender and delicious. The spicy beef was marinated in coconut milk and was wonderful. The fried chicken was the best. However due to all the good food, we almost passed on dessert which would have been a terrible tragedy. We had the coconut bread pudding. Hands down the best thing to pass my lips in forever. If you are in Miami, don't miss this hidden gem.
(5)Geraldine A.
Finally came after hearing about it for about 3 years! Got lucky cause I tried a variety of things on the menu since I was with a party of 5. Some things were a hit, some things were not so much a hit (not quite a miss though). The most amazing: Grilled Filet Mignon Sandwich, Sangria Here's what was delicious: Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts , Chicken Biscuit (app), Warm Homemade Cornbread It was aiiight: Blue Crab & Roasted Corn Fried Rice Want to come back soon to try the fried whole Snapper. I wish they had chocolate dessert, none on the menu when I went. Only something with a bit of chocolate ganache. Also, get there in time for your reservation. Because of demand they only wait 15 minutes for you! Cheers.
(4)Morgana H.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere! This was my second time here and I will definitely return to try something new!
(4)Rafael L.
This place is southern casual food at it's best. The fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits are amazing. The bacon wrapped dates were heavenly (they make really good bacon here). For dessert we shared the Key Lime Pie... ok here is where I'm going to spend a little more time... this key lime pie was out of this world good, the custard was good, but it was the crust that made it stand out... it was sweet, but a little salty too and this made the pie crust AMAZING. Also they also have an amazing beer selection. The only downside is the parking situation. They only have a couple of spots and everywhere else has a sign saying they will tow Whisk customers.

After all the rage around town this place really delivers !! In the South Miami area hidden within 56th Ave you'll find this place before the end of the block. Met up some friends at this hidden nook my first thought was ...hmm, scarce parking this place must be good!! Seek and you shall find I'd say, Although the location offers limited parking across the street there is plenty of parallel parking. So I get there first and as I reach the hostess I notice a young trendy crowd. I put my name down and already I run into a few local foodies. We were sat fairly quickly with a great view of the open style kitchen. Already I am anticipating what I am about to eat. Finally, the food came all at once (extra points for that). Let's just say we were all happy with what we saw. The presentation was excellent, then came the taste which to me was very tasty!! By the look of my friends faces they enjoyed their selections as well. The place was a hit !!! I ordered the filet mignon sandwich and they ordered the blt. The portions were great. Dessert was offered but we had no room for anything else. As far as I'm concerned this place gets two thumbs up with me and can agree with most that this is an excellent choice !!
(4)Lissette S.
Pricey but without the wow factor, the build up for the place was substantial and the actual product was just okay. Probably won't get a second visit from my party. Food was cold when it arrived at the table and the tastes of all items was a dull dream chattering thing.
(3)Norma G.
I used to go there on a regular basis, way back when they used to be in their other location. A part of me misses the coziness of the other place, how they knew your name and your favorite dish, now even though it's still yummy is just not the same. I discovered this gem thanks to the Iron Fork event, some years ago, they were giving away some pulled pork sandwiches and I was hooked, I found out where their restaurant was and I've been a follower since then (+/- 2006). Their daily specials are different every day, there's always something yummy and new to try out. This time I gave it a try since I haven't been there in years, because I don't live in the area anymore, and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Cornish hen, it was perfectly cooked and a little sweet because it had a BBQ sauce and also a little spicy, but the sweetness of the corn hash complemented the dish. I was very satisfied with it. My boyfriend ordered the BBQ pork chop and it was equally delicious, he was happy with it. Our desserts were yummy too, I don't really have a sweet tooth, but decided to try the lemon tart, it was ok, I wouldn't have it again. And my boyfriend had the cheesecake, I have to admit even though I'm not a fan of cheesecake I would rather have that than the lemon tart. Overall our experience was good. I know this is not the last time we eat here.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I love what's happening all around the Sunset and Dadeland areas! I tried getting a seat at Whisk on a random Saturday long ago, and it was packed, but a friend and I were able to snag some seats on a random weeknight and enjoy Whisks offerings! We opted to sit at the bar and was promptly greeted by the bartender, who was super sweet and attentive. We went with the Fried Green Tomatoes, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Whole Fried Snapper and a steak dish in a delicious sauce (I can't recall the name, only the description, but it was super delicious!) My friend felt the fish wasn't spectacular, but I thought it was delicious. On the other hand, he really enjoyed the beef, and while I thought it was good, I didn't feel it was anything out of the ordinary. To each his/her own! I really enjoyed this place and I'm sure to be back soon to try some more!
(4)Marcelo L.
if you're going to serve a cold filet mignon sandwich, at least have the forethought to call it a deli sandwich. I went there on the advice of CheckPlease South Florida. I guess lots of folks must've seen the episode, and it overwhelmed the kitchen (oh wait, we waited as long as anyone for a table, so pacing shouldn't have been a problem). Regardless, it took for me to ask a porter to ask to have the waiter brought over to return my Filet Mignon sandwich back. I commend the Manager on damage control, he was attentive and thoughtful.

I went on a weekend for Brunch and boy was it packed. It's a tiny restaurant but it was worth the wait. Parking is terrible so you might have to search for a bit or get metered parking and walk. There's a bar inside you could get drinks at while waiting. In terms of food, everything was great. We had the fried green tomatoes for our appetizer as well as splitting a huge chicken biscuit with gravy and scallions. I had the huevos rancheros and my roommate got the Papa's buttermilk pancakes. Both were awesome! I also got the red wine sangria, which was delicious. Overall, the food was great and we'll be back again to try other items on their brunch menu!
(4)Alex L.
First the bad news: no corona beer and yes, parking can be a challenge. The food and the service however, are wonderful. We came on a Saturday for lunch. It was packed. For appetizer we ordered the cheese spread which comes with crunchy toasts, very good. We ordered the roast beef and Swiss sandwich with the house chips which was one of the daily specials that day, a steak salad, and a juicy lamb dish with veggies. All was fresh and tasty. $85 total. A little pricey for lunch. No dessert. We were too full.
(4)Annette G.
I loved coming here. This is a perfect small restaurant in the heart of South Miami. We (2 of us) got seated immediately and our waiter took our order once we settled in . The ambience is warm and decor is effortlessly charming. The food was amazing!!! The menu has a little bit of everything & I really enjoyed the tuna melt sandwich. This is definitely the type of place I would come back to. I just hope it maintains the same level of service and detail.
(4)Mary-Lauren S.
Their fried green tomatoes and corn bread are out of this world! I usually get their Charleston chicken salad sandwich - my all time favorite!
(5)Marie P.
No parking ! You will have to wait like 20 min to be able to find one!!! No Parking in Miami !!! Impossible ...! If you find a place with parking you found heaven ! and what about free parking ! thats impossible today !!!!! Other thing i don't like is that is toooo noisy !!! if you want to relax and have lunch don't come here ! Other than that ...the menu is phenomenal !!! I love it :) first of all the corn on the Cobb is spectacular ! Always as an appetizer !!! Every single appetizer is really good ! I have tried it all :). Gourmet food !!! I'm having some grilled sea scallops (expensive but great) ! I also love the Mango salad that comes with mangos, peppers, onions, corn and cilantro vinaigrette !!! Mmmmmm ! Very good :). The staff is really Proffesional, super clean, modern, ... They do it right ! Is a family business and they are always there working and trying their best ! That makes a huge difference. .... !!! When you leave this place you think you left elementary school ! Your brain can't stand it ... Too much noise ! They should move to a bigger place, with Parking spaces and they will get beyond 5 stars !!!!!!
(3)Dan J.
Definitely my favorite place in Miami. You can go and get an amazing sandwich for $8-9, or you can have a nicer meal of Bell & Evans fried chicken, expertly prepared fish, etc. This is a place that takes pride in every single dish. Tasty homemade sodas, menu changing on a daily basis... I will gladly keep giving them my money until they give me a reason not to.
(5)Jan N.
This place gets a solid 4 star rating. Although parking is a HUGE pain in the a** (lot is teeny, and you've basically got to look around adjacent blocks for open spaces), the food more than made up for it. And no matter what time you come here, it's busy, busy, busy! But, honestly, very worth the wait! Appetizers were off the chain - fried green tomatoes, bacon wrapped dates (the best!), and cornbread - all delicious and satisfying! I would definitely recommend them! As my lunch entree, I had the portabella mushroom sandwich with melted mozarella (yes, fungus!), and I have no complaints. My mother in law had the turkey and cranberry sandwich, which she, too, was really happy with. And my husband had the fried chicken salad (boooooriiiing), which he would never have (hates salad), but was possessed that day and went for it. Final verdict - he dug it. Couldn't stop talking about the chicken decliciousness! Two words of advice: 1. If you binge on the appetizers (as I, of course, did), I'd suggest sharing the sandwich (for a $1 fee). Because of my gluttony, I didn't get to fully enjoy my entire lunch dish and, honestly, the sandwich is big enough for two. 2. For all the parents: this place is not baby friendly! The staff was accomodating, but because the space is so tight, a stroller is just a big embarassing obstruction. And you don't want to be that person everyone is looking at as they are uncomfortably shifting their chairs so you can get by (yep, that was me bumping you with the stroller wheels). So just make sure to leave the stroller in the car, or get yourself a baby sitter! Also, no children's menu. Main disappointment: I saw pictures of their burgers that made me want to eat the computer screen. But unforntuately, I think they only make them on Fridays; there were no burgers on the menu when I went over the weekend. Boo. Overall, great spot! I loved their lunch menu and am excited to eventually come for dinner. Dale!

First of all, the parking situation at Whisk is horrendous. Management definitely needs to find a solution to the overcrowding in the lot as finding a spot usually takes over 15 minutes every time I go. Another annoying thing: Whisk only seats full parties so if one person can't find parking - you're screwed. Besides all that, Whisk is a lovely little restaurant. The service is consistent and pleasant. For appetizers, the cornbread and dates are phenomenal. For entrees, the salads are all great and the steak sandwich is especially good. The burritos are good but nothing special. I also really like the garlic-chili coconut spicy seared beef. The desert here is also amazing! I had a peanut butter pie once and nearly died of a food coma. All in all, Whisk is a great little place for a casual lunch or dinner. The atmosphere inside is lively and if you can snag a table on a busy night, I wouldn't hesitate.
(4)Amberly M.
The food is great- southern table inspired. Just be aware that they will not seat you until your whole party has arrived and there is no place to wait. Parking is also very difficult- not a convenient lunch spot during busy hours, but if you live close to walk, then it is awesome!
(3)Roxie G.
Been here several times and I have yet to be disappointed. Food is always fresh and the farm to table concept is worth the high prices. Best appetizers are the fried green tomatoes and the bacon wrapped dates. Their chicken salad sandwich is delicious. They offer Arnold palmers in a mason jar which I truly enjoy. Only negative is parking is extremely limited .
(4)Sandra M.
On the search of a place to eat dinner at, I recommended Whisk to my boyfriend. I have been here two other times before and the food has been good. I wanted my boyfriend to try it since he had never been. Overall the experience was good, but the food was nothing to brag about. We had the chicken biscuit and cornbread for appetizer. The chicken biscuit is ok, without the glaze it would be ordinary. For our meals I had the pulled pork burrito and he had the fried chicken. The pulled pork burrito is huge, I took most of it home. The fried chicken was good in my opinion but Mike compares all chicken to the chicken from Yardbird and he feels the fried chicken was just ok. For dessert we had the pecan pie and after one bite I refused to eat it. I did not like the flavor of the pecan pie at all, the bacon on the pie had a strong smoked flavor. Overall the experience was ok, I don't think we will be coming back anytime soon.
(3)Kyle M.
Had a fantastic lunch at Whisk. Started with a fantastic corn bread topped with BBQ pork. Had some of the parmesan potato chips as a side. For main course my girlfriend had a great Turkey Sandwich & I got a special ordered Blackened Chicken Sandwich. Overall, the service was good, the place was clean & all the food tasted great. The only thing I thought was a little bland were the chips. Parking can be a little tough so try and go when it's slow. I uploaded 4 pics of our food. I would definitely eat there again.
(4)Lester M.
The parking lot was full and the waiting list was long so I decided to park close by and order take out. No one was gonna denied me some WHISK. I had the pulled pork and cornbread for app and the WHISK burrito. The pulled pork was delicious. The contrast of the tanginess of the sauce and the sweetness of the cornbread was a match made in food heaven. I do have to mention, the cornbread was a bit crumbly. Just a heads up if you like your cornbread with a bit more body. The burrito was supreme. Soft tortilla, beautiful whole beans, fresh avocado, and the fact that the large order includes two, what more can I ask for. The place is pretty cool, as I saw it when I came to pick up my order but I will be updating this review when I come back for a more formal sit down dinner.

Visited Whisk on our vacation getaway to the "Heat" from Tennessee. Just watched DD and D the week prior, and after attending the Miami Heat game Whisk was my second priority. The wait was long but that only added to my anticipation....finally seated, I was let down. The service was great, very fun and friendly but the food was where the letdown happened. Ribs were ok, not half the flavor I was expecting and the Shrimp and Grits fell way short as well. I'll write this off as the one day the hype didn't meet the product, but I will try it again on my next visit south.
(3)Alicia G.
Whisk is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. It is both casual and trendy, but does not have a pretentious vibe. All of the menu options are inventive. The ingredients are fresh and the flavors are distinct. My favorite dishes are: Appetizer: Bacon-wrapped Dates, Fried Brussel Sprouts. The brussel sprouts are drizzled with a delicious aioli. Entree: Burrito. It is made with pork, black beans, rice, and avocado. Dessert: Any of their bread puddings. They change their desserts but there is often a bread pudding option that is fantastic. Brunch: Heuvos Rancheros. This is similar to the burrito but is deconstructed and is topped with two fried eggs. They also have a great beverage selection including many beers (not just the usual selection) and great local teas. The restaurant is suitable for small groups, no more than 10. Although the restaurant is usually packed I have never had to wait more than half an hour and I am usually seated right away. The prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality and originality of the food. Every dish that I have tried at Whisk has impressed me, either with flavors or quality, or usually both. I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know.
(5)Katerina S.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS PARKING!!! Ugh. If you get there late enough, you can park where the other stores have already closed, though. And if you get in early enough, you can probably find 1 or 2 spots open in front of the restaurant. Otherwise, the food here is seriously awesome. It reminds me of this place in DC called Founding Farmers. Amazing homemade food. The vegetable fried rice is the best I've had. Soup was delish! Sandwiches are extremely tasty!! It's a must go!
(5)Jeff B.
Highly recommend! Fantastic food, great service, and the lychee sangria is a MUST. My favorite of the appetizers was definitely the fried green tomatoes - don't think I've ever had better. The shrimp grits were also terrific, though I wasn't as excited with the okra. Do yourself a big favor: get the bacon-wrapped dates. Oh baby. After all the appetizers I decided to go for a smaller entree with the fried chicken spinach salad. Delicious. Everything everyone my table ordered looked fantastic as well. Our waiter was fantastic - saucy, smart, beautiful red-haired vixen who charmed everybody. Very impressed overall and if you're looking for good, hip, low-country cooking with an edge, this is definitely the place.
(4)Food G.
Loved the ambiance. Staff was great and knowledge of the menu. Food was good. Parking is a mess, had to park several blocks away on a rainy day. Been here 2 times and air conditioning was an issue. Felt hot.
(3)Claudia J.
New location is cool!! I love their ambiance, the lamps in the bar are whisks!! how cool is that! the minimum decoration is nice, wood pieces on the walls, and the ceiling... it probably was from the previous busines,, but that is fine!! it looks nice and goes with the whole place!! Food is good all the time, it shows consistency. The only thing I did not like was that it was too noisy..!! Maybe they could minimize the noise by putting some noise absorbing sponges. It gets crowded and it gets noisy - in my opinion. Definitely a fun place to try out more items on the menu!!

I have eaten at Whisk twice this year on trips to The U. I would really hit it four and a half. Keeping it from a five are parking and space which they are unable to really control. The food is fantastic. I've had the duck, crab cakes, and had a bite of several of the burgers. All of them were beyond great. The bacon wrapped stuffed dates were also just unbelievable. It's the same way for the fried green tomatoes. The wine list is smart and the service professional and timely. We also had a very large group for brunch. Again, not one bad word because there was not one bad dish. In fact everyone raved about their meal. I highly recommend Whisk when you are near the Coral Gables area.

My fiancée and I have been to Whisk on several occasions and it never disappoints. On our last visit I had their Friday burger special and it was yummie! I only wish it didn't fall apart but it tasted just as good with a fork. My fiancée ordered the fried chicken but was disappointed at the lack if flavor...it was very juicy but he left the restaurant wishing he had ordered my burger instead. We will definitely keep coming back!

Homie feel, quality control, great wine and beer... Great family/relax restaurant for enjoying exquisite craft food

Super cute interior! Reminds me of San Francisco! Parking is difficult to find but it is worth the wait or the walk. The drinks are amazing and the sandwiches are incredible. Staff is very fun and helpful! Definitely my favorite restaurant in South Florida.

It almost seems like an eternity since I had been Blue Smoke burger-deprived..Well at least since they closed for relocation to the new South Miami spot. For this special occasion, I prepped incessantly at the gym so that I may enjoy yummy calories! The meal was made that much more fun by the presence of fellow Yelpers (you guys know who you are :) and our CM Maria A. deserves a special shout of thanks for allowing us to engage in our app craving. Speaking off, the corn bread deserves smile for its crumbly goodness. Add the spread that came with and you're talking Nirvana. Our entertaining and insightful conversation helped to make the meal even more special! The owner even came by our table, which was a nice touch. On to the burger: What can I say that I haven't before. Whisk is one of the few restaurants that understands a burger can be well done without depriving it of taste and juiciness. Add to that the homemade potato chips that are truly homemade and this undercover fat kid is happy. The topper:KEY LIME PIE!! ('Nuff said) (Well, not really, since I found out they sell whole pies to take out. I can actuallly buy one of these goodies to enjoy with other meals. Thank you Whisk for reopening!

I've never been disappointed with their food. I''ve always gotten their sandwiches which are always well stacked and cooked. The flavors are always well balanced and kinda inventive at the same time. My favorite is probably the steak grilled steak sandwich. Always cooked perfectly and very juicy. However, I've noticed that their service can be pretty inconsistent. Sometimes it's prompt and attentive, sometimes they leave me for 20 mins looking at a menu. Regardless, they are always very nice and polite. Parking can be a pain here .There are obviously not enough spaces so you may need to park further away and walk in. I would come back here many times.

I heard about Whisk because my brother works there. He has been telling me about it for a while now so one Sunday I decided to try it for Brunch. I had huevos rancheros and my date had the French toast. Both meals were excellent. The food portion was excellent and we will definitely be trying this place for dinner one night.
(4)Carlo G.
What a disappointment. I noticed that this place has very good reviews, hopefully things have changed. Came here in late 2013, there was a 10-min wait, good sign. The bread and butter was actually very good. That is where things went downhill. The fried chicken with honey was drenched in ultra-sweet honey that you could barely taste the chicken. The mahi-mahi sandwich was okay, it was dry and was falling apart in my hands. The grilled corn was very dry and tasted like ordinary corn with no flavor. Disappointed, didn't order dessert. The decor was very modern and attractive though. Will give this place another try soon because the reviews are very good. Maybe it was just a bad day.
(2)Joelle M.
Umm..delicious! I've gone here a few times and can literally tell you that everything is just amazing. It's also farely priced and a rare treat in South Miami. I highly recommend the Sunday brunch too. The green tomato stack is heavenly. This place is good for family , friends or whatever... highly recommend it!
(5)Greshka P.
Small, hard to find, especially if you don't know the area, very little parking, closes at 7pm... Why 5 stars? Because the food and staff are amazing!!!! Believe me, once you have one bite you forget about all these things and will be planning when to come again. I've heard so many people rave about Whisk's burgers and now I know why. This was definitely worth the hour drive we had to make to get there. Every Friday is Burger Friday. They have a different burger per week which adds to the excitement of eating at Whisk. This time it was a Sweet Onion Bacon Cheeseburger. Absolutely delicious!! Cooked to order perfectly. You can either have it with homemade chips - you have to try these - or salad. And for drink, have an Arnold Palmer (ice tea with lemonade) served in a glass jar - a cute touch. If you have room for dessert, you might want to try the key lime pie. One of ten best I've had. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Even the Executive Chef (Brendan) came out and greeted us, which gave us the opportunity to thank him for a wonderful meal. Can't wait to go back and try another of his wonderful creations.

Whisk has grown up, having completed its long-awaited move to its (relatively) spacious new digs. I had been a little worried that a scaled-up Whisk would no longer be Whisk, as part of the charm of lunching at the old Le Jeune location was shoehorning yourself into the tiny space and chowing down at miniscule tables elbow-to-elbow with total strangers. When a restaurant like this expands, you have to wonder if something will be lost in the process. Will they raise prices? Will they cut corners in the kitchen? Use cheaper, lesser-quality ingredients? I'm happy to report that none of the above concerns apply. I was with a group of 9-10 Yelpers that came by for lunch on New Year's Eve to get the skinny on the new location, and aside from some confusion in getting our various checks at the end, it was the typical amazing Whisk lunch. While still not the largest space around, it's probably 6-7 times the area of the old location. The space still has some endearing and quaint qualities, however, with a large rectangular portal to the kitchen and an attractive bar area above which hangs whisks fashioned as light fixtures. I'm not sure what was on tap at the bar, but I'll check that out one day and report back. Parking was always a challenge at the old Whisk, and parking will still be a challenge at the new Whisk. Pass by the small main lot, you just might get lucky - but odds are you'll have to park at a meter in South Miami, or at a meter over by George's on the Coral Gables side, and walk. Don't even think about parking at neighboring Ace Hardware, as its lot is vigorously guarded by a rent-a-cop with handcuffs dangling humorously from his waist. Friday is the famous Burger Day, and there isn't too much more I can say about that that hasn't already been said. This time it was the Blue Smoke Burger, a large burger with smoky bacon, the right amount of gorgonzola, and mixed greens. No matter what burger you get on Burger Friday, it's probably going to be a strong contender on any serious "Best Burger in Miami" list. A salad or chips comes with it. Now, let it be said that some may balk at paying $14.95 for a burger. I understand the skepticism that often accompanies double-digit burger prices, but just order it once and then try to tell me it's not worth it - it's all quality, from the beef to the greens to the roll. Thanks to Yelper generosity, I also sampled several small plates. The bacon-wrapped dates I'd had before, but they were as deliciously smoky-sweet as I remember. I had to restrain myself with the cornbread and fried chicken, and the cheese 'n crackers plate was another thing I probably could have polished off myself if my stomach wasn't already pleading for mercy. Oh, and don't forget the fried green tomatoes. A couple Yelpers opted for the lechon burrito over the burger.......and as appealing as the burgers are, the burrito just might be even better, and it's an everyday staple on the menu to boot. I didn't have the Key Lime Pie this time. As a minor criticism, again, I wish they'd make their KLP with meringue. I know everyone raves about it as is, but I'm a little disappointed that they don't make it this way. Friendly, locally-owned and with an emphasis on high-quality ingredients, this is the kind of restaurant we always complain about not having in Miami.

There's a certain down-home cooking celebrity chef (PD) that I could almost feel being channeled in WHISK, except, WHISK is much healthier! I started to realize that my bookmarks in Yelp were growing and I hadn't been knocking off items from the list. After a long stressful morning, I figured I would try something new for a change of pace. I happened to be within earshot so I decided to try it out. When I walked in, I was surprised at the open and homey feeling. I sat at the brushed steel bar. Clever idea, not quite rustic, but I'm always a fan of brushed steel. I ordered a glass of water while looking over the menu. I was handed a mason jar with a handle for the water. Clever idea. I loved the feeling. For appetizer, I ordered fried green tomatoes. I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised at the five mini-hockey pucks with the buttermilk dressing. I'm normally not a fan of tomatoes at all, but these actually were very nice. Thanks to a Yelp reviewer. For entree, I had the Grilled & Sliced Skirt Steak Sandwich. There is always a certain pull from skirt steaks for me. Done at medium, I found it very flavorful, but my only qualm was that the tomato in the sandwich overpowered part of the flavor from the meat. Next time I will order it san the red tomato. For dessert, Key lime pie with raspberries. It was not as tart as I would have thought it to be. The fruitiness was refreshing. I'm not sure the combination was the best, but it did have good flavors. My plate was very clean when I finished it. All the food was great, but nothing stood out. That's why I have to lean towards the four stars over five. Maybe next time I will be able to give WHISK five. Only time will tell. Bottom Line: White linen and down home cooking with great flavors for a good meal. I will be back.

I love whisk. Everything about it. Food, Staff, everything. Burger s on Fridays are fantastic. Brunch is excellent. Desserts are great. Great spot. One of my favorites!
(5)Cassie G.
Had to go check out the new space as soon as I got back into town. I was so excited to be seated on a hightop table that provided a peek into the kitchen. It was impossible not to watch the chefs as they stacked sandwiches, grilled steaks and tossed salads. It was definitely hard not to drool over the bowl of bacon wrapped dates just waiting to be plated and served to hungry people like me. We were starving once we sat down so ordered the hummus. I've never had it here and it was absolutely delicious. For our main courses my friends got the fried green tomato salad and turkey sandwiches, both Whisk classics. I wanted to try something new so ordered up the chicken wings and they were the perfect combo of crispy and moist. My only gripe was the service. I'm used to the tiny space where no empty water glass can go unnoticed and you can ask for a side of ranch dressing without having to chase someone down. Our waiter was remarkably inattentive. Sitting so close to the kitchen, I ended up just asking a chef when I needed a side of dressing since it just seemed more convenient. I'm sure they're just adjusting to the bigger space and it will get better in time but I sure am comforted by the fact they are still serving up great food, just more times of the day.

Just flew into town, did a quick Yelp search for someplace to eat, WHISK popped up and away I went. I don't think you could stumble across this place unless you knew where is was. Off the main drag, in a small strip mall, with very limited parking. But since it was Sunday, I assumed parking next door at the hair salon was ok. It was almost closing time when I arrived and several groups where still waiting to be seated. I jumped into an open seat at the bar and began to puruse the menu. Being a Gourmet food joint, they have limited daily specials, and all day breakfast menu (no regular breakfast for me, give me a burger for breakfast and I'll be content). So the ham, cheddar, bacon, horseradish sandwich looked very appealing. When it arrived, it was stacked 4~5 inches tall, melted cheese all over the place, bacon pertruding from outside the bun, and it tasted delicious. The barkeep told me it was the last one for the day (good to be me today). All in all, the food was good, the beer selection looked acceptable (no time to consume, big dinner plans for later) and the mimosas were flying off the bar.

Visited a few Saturday's ago for a nice lunch with the husband. Parking is a nightmare, but aside from this the Vibe was nice, the decor was a Country Quaint style and i really dug it. Had the BBQ Chicken Salad on Spinach and I was raving about it for days. The Homemade Chips are a fresh new twist on a played out food and the Espresso Flan is easily, hands down the best Dessert I've ever had in Miami Dade County.
(4)Jonathan F.
Negatives: are that there is next to no parking. This tiny restaurant literally shares 5 parking spots with three other businesses. Additionally, every time I manage to go they are ALWAYS out of the tuna salad for a tuna salad sandwich. Positives: all other sandwiches are amazing.
(4)Chris B.
a great small, active urban restaurant with great style; moderately priced with good service and good food. Menu changes daily to keep up the interest. Food made to order; no refrigerator salads. Its like being in your own kitchen with your own kids politely serving you. Perfect for the urban village of South Miami.

I had dinner with my sister at Whisk earlier this week. I had heard great things about it and couldn't wait to try it. All of the menu selections sounded delicious and it was hard to narrow it down. We weren't too hungry so we did not get appetizers. I had the chicken-salad salad and my sister had the cumin dusted grilled chicken with rice and beans. My entree was a scoop of homemade chicken salad with walnuts, golden raisins, celery, mayo and dijon mustard atop a large portion of fresh greens, cherry tomatoes and thin sliced cucumbers tossed in a light sweet cider vinegar dressing. It was delicious! You could tell the chicken salad was homemade. My sister's dish was also awesome. Her chicken breast came with a generous side of black beans and white rice, a small side salad, and two big delicious tortilla chip type of things. The chicken was super tender and tasty. You could tell all their ingredients are very fresh and they put a lot of care into preparing the food. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy inside. It reminded me of a restaurant in Chicago. They have two long high tables that they use for communal seating. My sister and I were seated next to a party of about 5 or 6 women. Some might not like that, but it was fine with me. My one slight gripe about this place is the price. I believe its priced high, but that is probably due to the quality of ingredients. I was a bit turned off when I read that the sandwiches do not include a side, but you could get house made chips for $1.50 or a side salad for around $4.50. So it would bring up the price of a basic sandwich with a side salad to $12-14. A pork chop entree was priced around $21. The quality and taste will bring me back though. I just have to make sure I get my BF to pay.

I accidentally stumbled onto Whisk about 8 months ago and thank goodness I did!! Since that wonderful day it has been a staple of mine for a great lunch with friends. I can't walk in there without ordering the home made potato chips dotted with Parmesan cheese. My favorite sandwich has to be the grilled fish on multi-grain bread (the fish changes from time to time but it is always FRESH and delicious!). It comes with a side salad that has the best "brown butter" dressing. I always order the lemonade, no pink stuff here, it tastes exactly the way my mom used to make it!. I also recently tried the guacamole, we got quite a helping and it was great! No matter what I get at Whisk I always leave there full and happy. It's the best of simple and straightforward food with good ingredients and incredible flavor. The space is a bit small, so you might be sitting elbow to elbow with a stranger or waiting a few minutes during the lunch rush, but it is worth it. With it's quaint decor and cozy atmosphere, it conjures up thoughts of a grandma cooking away in her country home. I do miss the outdoor seating, especially during good weather, but Whisk is a MUST try, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Rick R.
The place rocks! They need to do something about the parking situation though - the parking lot is like a chick giving you blue balls - so tempting, but no chance! Shrimp and Grits; Skirt Steak; Corn Bread and Butter; Grouper Sandwich; and who could forget the Friday Burgers! Even the kids' chicken tenders were awesome! Sensible wine list and a few nice microbrews to go along with this great Southern-themed caterer gone restaurant extraordinaire. One of my favorite spots in Miami! But come early for lunch and dinner, otherwise be prepared to wait.
(5)Ivonne G.
We were introduced to this lovely little place by a set of friends that are regulars there and I'm so happy they did. It's a modern little place that are known for their homemade chips and amazing burgers. For the appetizer, we ordered the cornbread and bacon wrapped dates.. Delicious!! We went on a Friday, which is the day they make special burgers.. To die for - ranch bacon cheese burger.. Yum. The service could have been better which is why this place gets only 4 stars.. Will definitely be visiting this place again
(4)Nathalie B.
Good food for a random tiny place. Friendly staff. Only complaint would be the inconsistency in how good the food is.. but when it is a good day.. its delish..

I recently visited this tiny family own/run business located just blocks away from my High School Alma Mater. Let me tell you, if you don't know Gables well, you probably won't find this place, but Ramon C. was driving and he scope out the location because Maria A. could not stop talking about it. I was told by Ramon C. he already check on dessert and we will make it on time before they close. When i first step into the shop, I was like "this is nice, just my type of place because it's very simple decor with nothing fancy but very comforting as well." Ramon C. ordered the Turkey and Brie sandwich on Multigrain per recommendation of Maria and I ordered the Grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich per my conversation with one of the owners. The owner told me the Mahi-Mahi was local and really freash. Out came the sandwiches and I tasted mine, after the first bite I was speechless! The fish was grilled to perfection!! It has very nice grill marks on by side and was just pefectly cooked, you could taste the softness and freshness of the fish when it's cook right. From the top of my head this is a great sandwich and I decided Ramon C. should have a tried and swap half of the sadwich with him. The Turkey sandwich had a cranberry mayo, arugula and tomatoes on a multigrain bread. The turkey sandwich was good, but it could not top the Mahi-Mahi and I regret swapping half with Ramon C aftewards. The past 2 1/2 year I have visit many great cities by the sea and had so many variety of fish sandwich but none surpass this one!! After I finished both half of sandwiches I was ready for dessert, Brendan's Famous Key Lime Pie was the only thing I could have according to Ramon C. The slice of Pie was very fluffy and delicious, it got just the amount of tanginess in there and was not over powered by the sweetness which was perfection in my book. The folks behind this wonderful operation are not only great hosts, but were also kind enough to tell us how they started the place and some of the ideas behind the place. Fresh fish, fresh meat etc. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients they use in their dishes. I highly recommend this place if you like great fresh food served by wonderful people. I will definitely be back to try their other sandwiches and the hamburger as well on Friday's only. I hope I didn't bored anyone from this long review.

Me likey. Came here for lunch with a girlfriend on Saturday while taking a break from shopping at Sunset. Seeing as how as a good portion of our lives revolve around food, naturally we scouted the area on our Yelp apps and both agreed on WISK! First impression was bit of a bummer as parking was tedious (of course now I know I can walk from Sunset) and we were hoping for outside seating- it was a gorgeous weekend day. Our moods improved once we walked in and quickly developed food envy looking at everybody's plates. Atmosphere is country/modern if that even exists? Chalkboards with the specials, bamboo floors, stainless steel, and mason jars for your beverages. You get the drift. No tables were open we grabbed a spot at the bar. Orders went in and came out quick. Waitress was cute and sweet. Our turkey avocado sandwiches on toasted multigrain were had volume and were fantastic! Def get a side of crunchy homemade potato chips, sprinkled with sea salt and crunchy hot. We had front row seats of the great looking cakes in the cooler behind the bar but passed this round. Hey- we had to get back into the dressing room and dessert tummy guilt can often blow your shopping experience! Next time I'm for sure getting one of their tasty brews on tap AND dessert.

Maria A. has been raving about this place as long as I've known her. Tonight, I was finally able to see what was so awesome about it. Prior to my arrival I called in to make sure they had 'Key Lime Pie'. This was a strict requirement. So after that was taken care of I drove over with Gaie C. and I ordered the Turkey and Brie sandwich on Multigrain per recommendation of Maria. Gaie ordered the Grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich. Out came the sandwiches and Gaie had the brilliant idea of swapping halves. So I was able to have the best of both worlds. I was able to have the Turkey and the Mahi ;) .. The Turkey sandwich had a cranberry mayo , arugula and tomatoes on a multigrain bread. It was very goood. However Gaie wins tonight with the Grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich. It was sooo delicious that he regretted giving me half. After I finished both sandwiches I was ready for dessert. Brendan's Famous Key Lime Pie was the only thing I could think about. Out came the the pie and off I went to devour it. It didn't stand a chance , but I tried to savor every bit I could as it was sooo goood. I loved the presentation and the fresh fruit only made it even better. The folks behind this wonderful operation are not only great hosts , but were also kind enough to tell us how they started the place and some of the ideas behind the place. Fresh fish , fresh meat etc. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients used in their dishes. I cannot wait to come back and have the hamburger (which is only served on fridays and is more limited than a pair of tiffany dunks). I highly recommend this place if you like great fresh food served by wonderful people. :)

Just went for the first time this week. Went to pick up lunch for my aunt and her business partner to celebrate the last day of tax season (they are accountants). to celebrate we opened a bottle of moet chandon nectar imperiale....let me tell you...when a sandwich can hold its own to moet you know you found a winner!!! I am in love with this little jewel and cannot wait to take my hubby, a fellow foodie. I hear they have a delicious key lime pie and while i am not really a fan of this dessert... their blondie was one of the best i've ever eaten so i am willing to give their pie a try.
(5)Josy P.
Burger Fridays are to die for, but the service I received last time was less than desirable. We were ignored for a good 10 minutes. No water, no server, no attention. I miss the old Whisk.
(4)Matthew M.
The best food you can find in Miami bar none!
(5)Paula E.
words cannot describe how much it pains me to do this...I feel like I just walked out of a horrible break up...ugh sorry Whisk but yesterday's lunch was a slap in the face. Before, at the old place, I didn't really mind the crowds and lines during lunch rush hour because I knew the result was going to be satisfying enough to make it worth it...but when you sacrifice the quality of the food to accommodate more people, you lose both the quality and the service. Don't get me wrong, the hostess was very kind and accurate on the wait time, and my server brought me my iced tea in a timely manner. But the food left so much more to be desired...the fried green tomatoes I used to love were chewy and my turkey and brie sandwich was so dry it came close to stale. My colleague had the wings because he had heard they were some of the best in town...but he didn't seem to agree with this. Not to mention the place was filled with people and the kitchen and bar areas were so loud that people were literally screaming across the tables trying to have conversations with one another. It also filled up with smoke from the open kitchen and if was foggy and hard to breath in there. I hope this is just a beginning stage and that you solve the opening issues soon so I can return and at least be ready to be friends again.

Ordinarily I would take a star off for the awful noise, slow food preparation, and atrocious location, but I can't do it. This place is too good. This is what a restaurant is supposed to be. I went today for lunch. It was my first time. I'm not a fan of frou-frou nouvelle food, and Whisk leans in that direction, but I decided to give it a shot. I had the fried chicken breast with smashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was beautifully seasoned. Everything was in balance. It's not the typical Miami experience, where the chef teaches a couple of Salvadorans how to cook and then runs off to the beach while they screw everything up. The breading was crispy. The chicken had a wonderful smoky flavor; I don't even know how they got it in there. The gravy was delicious. The vegetables seemed to be seasoned with honey. They were prepared perfectly, done to just the right degree. They adhere to the trendy "put everything in a pile in the middle of the plate" rule, which is annoying, but sooner or later, that will pass. I didn't want dessert, but I ordered it anyway, just to see what they could do. They push their bread pudding, but I didn't want that because it contains Myers's rum, which is basically rat poison dissolved in rubbing alcohol. I ordered the pound cake. It came surrounded by praline icing and pecans, and it was topped off with fresh whipped cream flavored with bourbon. I did not have the presence of mind to try the pound cake by itself, but I have no reason to doubt that it would have been fine on its own. The icing was buttery and full of praline flavor. The bourbon whipped cream was truly inspired. I cook better than any restaurant chef I know of, so I am pretty disgusted with Miami restaurants. The only local restaurants I have confidence in are high-end steakhouses, but I don't always want steak. Finally, there is a place I can recommend and enjoy with no qualms. The parking is horrible, but I would be willing to leave the car at Sunset Place and walk. I'm a Southerner, and usually I'm a little put off by weird variations on Southern food, but these people get away with it. To the owners: please, for God's sake, don't screw this up. And move to a bigger building!
(5)Collette M.
I decided to take my mom and sister for a nice lunch at Whisk. Upon arrival one should take into account the tiny amount of parking. It could be a hassle and since I never find space right near the restaurant I normallu find a metered parking across red rd and pay the $2. Now for the food. We began with the fried green tomatoes and they were delicious. I could have easily have eaten all five myself. For entrees I ordered the steak salad, my mom the steak sandwich and my sister the portobello mushroom sandwhich. Everything was cooked to perfection! For desert we ordered the breadpudding which was quite small for $8 and while a nice treat it's not something I would order again. All in all the service and food was awesome. I can't wait to go back.
(5)Ari K.
Heard great things about this place but was underwhelmed. Fried green tomatoes were fair, corn bread was dry. Multigrain bread is deelish but not good enough for a return.
(2)Suzana U.
Amazing everything was delicious BLt, burger, chips , lemonade
(5)Danielle P.
Fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts are definitely the choice for apps! My favorite salad is the balsamic skirt steak followed by the turkey and dried cranberries! Overall great service and delicious!
(5)Ryan A.
In my opinion, this is as good as it gets anywhere in the South FL area. The bacon-wrapped dates are the best thing on the menu which is filled with unique and creative dishes that are cooked to perfection. If you haven't tried this pace, you're missing out. the only negative is the tiny parking lot. Unless you get there right when they open, forget getting a space. But here's an inside tip. If you drive past WHISK and make your first right then go right at the light and make your first left, there's a really cheap parking garage that's only a minute walk to WHISK.
(5)Monica C.
The hubby and I were trying to find a cute restaurant for a Saturday date night. I have one word for this place AMAZING. The fried green tomatoes were hands down the best I have ever had. They also have a good variety of beer and vino which is always a plus. The decor of the restaurant was cute and trendy. I had a great night for a reasonable price.
(5)M M.
What an incredible restaurant, and I cannot think of anything to compare it to in Miami.... I have been going here since they were across from Merrick Park in the Gables. Everything is delicious on the menu especially the burritos and fried green tomato (salad and appetizer). Nice atmosphere too and great service. Miami certainly needs more restaurants like this.
(5)Kyrene G.
Such good fresh food!! I love all their specials. Once had a corn and shrimp risotto that was one of the best I have had in Miami. This place makes all their food special and unique in flavors. Their new location is very nice. Looking foward to go back soon!

Food is good, service SUCKS, and you leave smelling like a fried green tomato!

my wife and i go here while we visit maimi in the winter, been 3 times so far this yr, we have always had a good meal, 'shrimp and grits' are the best, love the dish, 'chick wings' are also a must, staff is always nice know there menu very cool looking inside and this is a must visit for us,
(4)Johnny T.
When a place is no bigger than a bread box, has a parking lot of the same size, is busier than a one-legged man at an a$$-kicking contest, AND doesn't take reservations and I can still leave the place with a 4/4.5 experience... that takes talent. WHISK has talent. It also has really good food that's entirely worth the wait. I wasn't sold on the idea from the beginning. I had a friend coming in town and I wanted to impress. Settling on the idea of coming to WHISK, I called with the intention of making a reservation for early-ish Saturday night. No reservations. Slight twitch from me. "What's the usual wait time?" "Could be long." There's that twitch again. Make the scenic drive to South Miami, only to have a white-hair NASCAR me out of the one available parking spot in the matchbox of available parking options. Facial tics. Spasms. Looks like rain is coming, so I let my companion out of the car and I go on a journey to find parking. I finally do so... and, quarters. The meters take quarters and each quarter gives you mere minutes of parking time. Of course. I sprint to the convenient store across the way to get quarters. "Buy something." Spasms. One pack of gum later, I have coins and run back to my car. No sooner did I empty the Franklin Mint into that $&*)$ meter than the skies opened up. Torrential rain. On me. I tried running back to WHISK but it was no use. I walked in incredibly annoyed. There was no way this evening was going well. To have to work this hard just to sit down... are you serious? Sorta. Knowing that I couldn't be at all happy with the situation, my friend had a cold beer waiting and a sympathetic ear. We sat for a couple of minutes (in addition to the odyssey that I went through just to walk in) and were gifted a table. I was starving, annoyed, wet... is that cornbread? With scallion-honey butter? I want it. Give it to me! Hmm... what to eat for dinner? I've been eating like it's my job and that's no bueno for my waistline. I need something health... is that Buttermilk Chicken Salad? With organic spinach, red onion, avocado, egg, Cremini Mushroom, and honey-mustard dressing? I want it. Give it to me! Salads are healthy. OMG. This cornbread is so good. The butter... what? I need another beer. This salad is enormous! Oh... can't... eat... it... all... but... I must! Ugh. I'm so full. I can't eat anym... what's a buttermilk pie? We should get it? Give it to us! Our waitress, Alex, took excellent care of us. Not only were her suggestions useful, but through humor, grace and having been to this rodeo many times before, she talked me off the ledge and allowed the food to do the rest. While I am not a fan of enduring planes, trains and automobiles just to have dinner, I must admit that by the time I was done eating at WHISK (and for the quality and quantity of the food we ate, the prices were very reasonable), I'd forgotten my troubles and could concentrate only on the fantastic dining experience. And to have that kind of take away from me after all that? That, my friends, is some darn good food. Go git ewe sum!

We went to Whisk today for our lunch hour. It was agreat place! Although small, everyone was very attentinve. The food was also DELICIOUS. I am definitely looking forward to the next time! =)
(5)Jennifer F.
Everything here is really amazing. We ordered the Brie, turkey sandwich, corn bread, wings, BLT sandwich. It was all great. Lovely atmosphere and great energy too. Every one is nice and helpful.

I have been there twice and both times the food was AMAZING... but the staff left ALOT to be desired. The first time I was in a group of about 6 people and the server messed up our orders, then gave it to the wrong table, reordered it, forgot to get it to us.... omg, we didn't end up eating until almost two hours later. It was a bit frustrating, being at that point your about to eat your own hand from intense hunger. The second time I was in a big group of about 10 people. My friend (who has been working in the restaurant industry for years) asked the server to split the bill a certain way before ordering. The food came and was, again, AMAZING! But when the bill came he had put all the charges on to one bill. My friend asked him to politely split the bill and he started to be rude to her and argue that he wasn't able to. After much discussion with the manager ( who wasn't the server - even though the server at first LIED to my friend and said he WAS the manager, lol ) we were able to split the bill properly. That took another 40 minutes. The place is really small, hot (open kitchen), and cramped. The parking lot is super tiny and the wait staff seems like they need to get their act together. Maybe it's just because both times I was there I was with a large group of people, I don't know - but the customer service was unprofessional in one way or another. I definitely plan to go back because the food is fantastic. Seriously. For awesome food I will deal with small spaces, heat, no parking.... okay. But flat out bad service? I really hope they have gotten it together the next time I go.
(3)Natalie Q.
I lunched at WHISK for the first time this past Saturday. Parking was very hard to come by but the restaurant was nicer than I expected. I had the tomato bisque which was delicious, but rather tiny, and a skirt steak salad which was also wonderful but not enough to satisfy me. I am a notorious doggy bag-er and I cleaned my plates! Great food but meager portions.
(4)Melissa P.
Ate there for the first time on Saturday, and I've got to say after hearing all the hype, the food was shockingly unremarkable. Worst part is that's the good news as the service was the absolute pits. When we walked in there was an awkward gathering of people around the hostess stand, who was absent, and remained so for about 5 minutes. I joined the group and eventually realized that half of us were waiting to put our names down and half of us already had. We had to figure it out amongst ourselves who was next while the hostess just stood behind her podium. Once seated, our server showed up quickly and took our drink order. We both ordered soda and learned that it comes in cans, which means no free re-fills = lame. Having heard such great things about Whisk my BF and I wanted to try several items, so to start, we each ordered an appetizer and asked to split a salad as well. I got the Pimento Cheese Spread, which I'll be honest, was really terrific, the toast points that came with it were pretty tasty too, even if they could chip a tooth. My BF got the Buttermilk Chicken Wings, which consisted only of drummettes and no actual wings. They were cooked well enough, but were bland and forgettable. Also, it's odd to me that they are served with Blue Cheese sauce. Being that they're not Buffalo wings, it seems like a good opportunity to do something original. The salad showed up half-way through finishing our appetizers, and they had neglected to split it as requested. I believe it was the owner himself who brought it out with the waiter alongside him. The waiter informed us that he realized they didn't split the salad, and that he was going to bring us another plate so we could do it ourselves. He returns with a tiny rectangular plate and sets it in front of my BF. Absurd. The salad was decent, the Fried Chicken was light, crisp and moist, if not flavorful. The dressing seemed like an afterthought, which is really a shame, because amazing house-made dressing can really elevate a simple salad. The mushrooms still had clumps of dirt on them and included whole stems, and I don't care how organic or local they are, that's just unacceptable. About two minutes (literally) after the salad hit the table, our entrees arrived. Oh good! I get to rush through my second course, while watching my entree congeal. Seriously? My BF ordered the "Spicy Seared Beef," with sauce on the side. It arrived swimming in sauce and was neither spicy nor seared and the taste was just ok. I didn't taste the rice or the black beans he added, but the presentation was awful. I ordered the Low Country Shrimp and Grits and had to send it back. I will give them credit for taking it off the check without much fuss. However, I could see the kitchen's reaction of disbelief that there could possibly be anything wrong with their food, I also didn't see anyone actually taste it... It was simply terrible, there was none of this wonderful bacon they go on about anywhere on the plate as the menu described, and it was completely and totally void of seasoning and flavor. It was as if they cooked the grits with tap water and called it a day, and the shrimp had also received no love whatsoever. I mean, my mother's shrimp and grits BLOWS theirs away and she is not a particularly good cook. My BF says to me "well, they're just grits, how good can they be?" Which seems to be the mentality of the kitchen, and is totally unaccpetable if you're asking people to actually pay for your food. If it goes on the plate, it should be delicious. Chicken stock, Ham stock, cheese, cream, truffle oil, garlic/shallots, bacon fat, and butter are a few good starting points when considering how to flavor grits, and S/P doesn't hurt either. I also ordered the Brussels Sprouts, but received Sauteed Spinach instead, and we both went without drinks for half of our meal. Maybe the server should worry more about the customers and less about how many buttons to leave open on his western style shirt. We won't be back.

Holy homemade-potato chips! My office orders from here about once a week! BLT's are to die for (get it with their multi-grain). And don't forget to grab a bag (or 2) of their home-made chips. You'll thank me later. Ps. They deliver (although this can sometimes take over an hr if during the lunch rush)!!
(5)Stephanie M.
So good. Love this place! The food is delicious and the people are great.
(5)Alex C.
The food was excellent. The service was very good. The restaurant unfortunately has some serious ventilation problem. All the fumes from the kitchen permeate the dining room.. your cloth... your hair.. your face.. I will definitely come back but for takeout.

I had great expectations heading into this restaurant; multiple friends have referred to it as their favorite food in the Miami area. The food was alright overall. Tasty, yes, but nothing overly spectacular, not up to par with what I had been told. However, our experience was tainted by many other factors. For one the parking situation is awful. Don't even bother trying to park anywhere near the restaurant. Luckily there IS metered street parking nearby, but even at a non-peak time I had to park 5 blocks away. Also, be prepared, Whisk refuses to sit a party unless all members were there. One member of our party was running late, but sent her order ahead of time so that the group could order it all at once. Even then, we were not seated. One hostess was very apologetic and explained that she could not break policy, however the other hostess was downright nasty, and truly the main reason I gave the place such a low rating. I have never experienced such horrific service anywhere else in Miami. Even once our group was all there, we were told to stand aside for another 15 minutes before the table was ready, and she elbowed one of our members in the side as she passed by instead of asking her to move. Despite the fact that we were careful not to be rude back to her during this experience she was constantly throwing us dirty looks during the wait. Additionally, instead of seating us at an open table with sufficient room, we were given a table with an additional seat on the end, right in the pathway of the waiters. The member of our group was seated in this seat was constantly knocked and stepped on throughout the meal. The loud volume also made it difficult to hear the other members of a party. Our waiter was pleasant enough, and apologized for the deficits in our experience, so that was a plus. The food was also decently priced for what you received. I'd be willing to try Whisk again, perhaps at a less busy time, but definitely NOT when that hostess is working.

Just wanted to update this review to say that the friend who picked up the food became my future wife!
(5)Tessie B.
Thought it would be empty for lunch on a Tuesday....boy was I wrong. Waited like 15 min for a table, but I think a full restaurant is a great sign. The fried green tomatoes were a great start, especially the dipping sauce - deeelish! Had the heavenly turkey and Brie sandwich. If you're a sucker for Brie cheese like me, then this is your sandwich. I was only able to eat half my sandwich though. Wish I would have split it since when i had the other half a few hours later, it just wasn't the same. Everything was so good and the fact that their menu changes often and they have different specials, makes me want to keep coming back over and over. Great job whisk!!!
(4)Cat F.
Visited on a Saturday afternoon. The place was jammed packed, but we did not wait, yay!! Service was decent (Miami standards) food was good. Good beer and wine menu! Had burrito for meal and dates for apps. Recommend for a nice lunch or brunch. I will return for brunch stay tuned....
(4)Tiger S.
One of the better chefs in South Florida. Arguably the best... Brendan and his crew do an excellent job. Great food, nice atmosphere. Best of luck!
(5)K C.
I'm giving it 4 stars for the ambiance! Felt like I was at a cafe in Boston..... not Miami. It was welcoming, friendly staff, loved the house wine (can't remember which one right now). Other customers eating at the bar were also friendly and complimenting my boyfriend's bald head :) Food - I was so eager to try the shrimp and grits... was ok. I think it could have used some type of sauce to spice it up, make it more southern. However, I would love to come back and try other stuff in their menu.
(4)Elizabeth Z.
This place is heavenly. The parking, not so much, but I would endure 20 hellish parking lots just for a bite of one of their otherwordly sandwiches. Its a little pricier than the average lunch but oh so worth it, very fresh and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu!
(5)JOHN H.
My wife and i ordered take out from here the other night and though it was just OK. i would give it another chance but i just thought the food lacked flavor. i ordered the Burrito and was not impressed.
(3)Jessica Z.
Incredbile food that is fresh and made well. The owners and the staff are best in the business :) :)
(5)Edward B.
If only Miami had more places like Whisk
(5)Berta T.
The food is delicious. A definite must if you are in the area. The service was very good. Parking can be a challenge.
(4)Aliette C.
I want to love this place but I just don't. I like the casual vibe but it's a bit too loud in there. Everything is just a bit over processed for my taste - it's like they're trying a little too hard. My skirt steak was over cooked and fatty and my guava cake was missing most of the icing on top.
(3)Ian C.
Nice ambiance, simple menu, awesome preparation! I had known about Whisk (and heard all the good press) since when it was in a strip center on Le Jeune. I used to order Chinese take-out next door (forgettable, but i'll leave it for another review), and damn, i should have skipped take-out and gone to Whisk. Almost perfect, un-pretentious, and not over-priced. It's discreetly located behind the Ace Hardware Strip Center in the South Miami Area. I guarantee you will leave happy!
(5)Angela H.
Great menu selection! Creative, and unique for Miami - Finally!! Thank you! Love the decor! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We are looking forward to going back!
(5)alex m.
Outside of a continued, slightly annoying parking situation, this place is really good. The Roast Beef Sandwich i had this week was so deliciously fresh, (along with the fried green tomatoes w/ buttermilk dip which is a continued favorite of mine). Other goodies like chicken wings, fresh deli-style sandwiches/fish, and desserts also keep me coming back to this joint. The use of farm fresh produce and quality ingredients is really evident, and a seems like even after expanding their restaurant and menu, the food is consistently satisfying along with the neighborhood feel and atmosphere which is always welcome, and easy to loose. Especially when coming from a their old small and charming little spot. Delicious!!!!
(4)Michael C.
What a place, a pain in the ass to find, but very worth seeking out. Not a typical Miami restaurant by any stretch of the word, Whisk kind of has this Southern hipster vibe that transports you to a college town in North Carolina. It's subtly upscale and very comfortable. The bacon wrapped dates, well, they are probably the single best item I have eaten at a restaurant in South Florida. Wow. Nobody does it better than this place. The fried green tomatoes are done very well here, although they didn't blow me away as much as the dates. The dry-marinated skirt steak entree reminded me of a good churrasco. It wasn't the most tender piece of meat I have had (it's skirt steak!), but the flavor and juiciness were superb. The steak was thoughtfully accompanied with gorgonzola, cherry tomatoes and onion confit, all which added to the flavor. The sides of local green beans and fingerling potatoes were well prepared and about what you would expect. The service was above average, and attentive without being overbearing, with the only flaw being a salad that arrived slightly after the main entree. Pricing was not cheap, but reasonable enough to make this a regular spot to go to. All and all, this is another place that I can't wait to come back and try new things at. I wish places like this existed in Broward County.
(5)Ivette B.
ate here with jen r.... our reviews are similar so i'll be concise. i loved THE FOOD at whisk. i ordered the Roasted Turkey & Dried Cranberry Salad. She had the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Organic Spinach Salad. Both were so outstanding that one of my new goals is to try everything on that menu. This place is not a 5 because of the parking and the size of the restaurant. It is tight in there and chances are you will have to share a table with strangers - this may stop me from going there if i'm looking to have private time with a friend over an awesome meal. I really hope it grows into a 5 star space - it deserves it.
(4)Felicia B.
Wisk: you elevate Miami food period! You make simple dishes sing. I ordered the grilled chicken today and was a bit worried that I didn't try something a bit more exciting from your wonderful menu. But, as Tania R. says you never let me down! The chicken was tasty and moist without a trace off fat and that cumin flavor came right through catapulting this simple cutlet to the head of its class. The fluffy Jasmin rice, black beans, sliced avocado & house Pico de Gall only further enhanced my enjoyment of the simple yet totally perfect dish. If this hadn't been take out I would even consider adding another star!
(4)Jenaia F.
Disclaimer: Review is based off of takeout order only. For months, I've been driving by this place with the desire to check it out. I finally did today, and am really disappointed. I called in and asked for them to tell me about their salads - didn't have access to the menu while driving. The lady on the phone was quite nice and went through their salad list providing me with the ingredients and detailed description of each. I opted to go with the grilled veggie salad which sounded delicious - grilled onions, tomatoes, zucchini, and yellow squash with feta cheese over baby greens and a balsamic vinaigrette. Sounds great, doesn't it? It actually did taste pretty great, but for almost $11 I expected a little more than just 2 thin slices of yellow squash, 3 grilled onion rings and 2 slices of zucchini over 5 bites of greens. These are not expensive veggies, so I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that they were so skimpy with their serving. My stomach was growling before my meal, and it's still growling now. Pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.
(2)Suzanne D.
Nothing fantastic. Ordered the shrimp and grits, it was okay, but go to Angelique in Coral Gables, for a much better dish. The wait, the noise, and the reviews are not accurate, so don't expect too much.
(3)Nicholas T.
I've eaten here half a dozen times and loved it each time. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu. The key lime pie is exceptional, so if you still have room for it after dinner I highly recommend you try it.
(5)John E.
This place is awesome!! its small and cramped but what they do they do WELL! Even their home made potato chips are excellent. The Lemonade gives you a new theory on puckering. Just try to get there early for the lunch rush. Miami needs more local places like these and less chain stores.
(4)Kris F.
I ate here for the third time this past weekend and again, Whisk did not disappoint. The food is amazing. We went on a Friday night with friends (three couples total) and had to wait at the bar until a table opened up. While at the bar we had two delicious bottles of wine and three apps. The gorgonzola stuffed dates wrapped in bacon were absolutely to die for and the fried green tomatoes were also top notch. When we finally sat (an hour later), we were all pretty hungry, so we ordered another two bottles of wine, some cornbread and our entrees. Two people had the burger (every Friday there's a different burger special) and two ordered the burrito. These are the only two items I tasted, but I can tell you that both were absolutely amazing. I will definitely go back again and again. It was well worth the wait. But, the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think they've outgrown their current setting and have to find somewhere a bit bigger, yet with the exact charm that they currently have of being situated in an alley behind a bunch of storefronts.
(4)Karen P.
Well, I have to say Whisk is AMAZING!!! I have yet to have something on the menu that I dont enjoy. One of their employees is a client of the company I work for and everytime he would come in he would say "come to whisk" I never paid much thought to it because it didnt sound to appetizing to eat from a catering company.Finally I caved in and went. The Turkey Club is awesome as well as there Pulled Pork Burritos and lets not even mention their shrimp and grits YUM! everything they cook is delish, fresh ingredients, home-made taste.
(4)Marcia B.
The food was delicious, service excellent. Only thing we had a larger party which was broken up to two tables and it was very loud for conversation. I had the hummus and a veggie plate and a key lime pie for my birthday. Everything was fresh and tasty.
(4)Mega M.
Great food . Get here early because parking is crazy !!! Awesome salads !!! This place is very busy all the time . Did I mention the burgers ??!!!
(4)Ingrida R.
Miami's GEM! I actually don't live in Florida anymore, but I dream of Whisk everyday. I would pay SO much money to have one here in CA. It has the freshest ingredients, amazing sandwiches, and I LOVE how the iced tea is served in mason jars! Every sandwich is mouthwatering. Parking is a little tough but sooo worth it. I would and do recommend this place to everyone.
(5)Sam P.
you know how people talk about what animal they would choose to be if they could be anything they wanted? well, if someone asked me what restaurant i would be, it would be whisk. the food: super fresh, expertly prepared (LOVE the fresh tuna salad, cornmeal-crusted mahi mahi, delicious key lime pie), fun (and frequently-changing) menu the service: i want to be BFF with everyone who works there - they are so warm and friendly! but be warned: this place is popular and tiny, which makes for frequent waits (but they are moving too a much larger space in south miami in the fall!!!). parking can be tough, but there are metered spots on the other side of le jeune that are usually open. they are only open for lunch and early dinner, but we have gone for early dinner and brought our own wine (they didn't charge us for corkage) and had a fabulous time. call for takeout if you're in a hurry. i love you, whisk!!!
(5)Max C.
My second visit was good but not delicious. The place was packed so I had almost yell across the table to deliver my bad jokes. Acoustically it needs work. As for the food, the grilled veggie sandwich drizzled in Dijon and the golden beet Arugula salad were satisfying. My sis had the tuna salad and it was a bit drab. My advice: stick to its core competencies and you'll enjoy the place. Try their Fried chicken, burritos or Southern dishes and you will leave stoked. BTW, their wheat beer was bubbalicious.
(4)Paul S.
The Turkey Avocado Sandwich was crazy! Fresh !!!! On whole wheat bread!! , the homemade french fries were very crisp n good ! Good choice !!
(4)J N.
One of my favorite places in Miami. Love the food, love the ambience.
(5)Shelly-Ann G.
Great little neighborhood spot. The food is excellent and service is very friendly. Whisk is the place you can go and eat a hearty lunch and not feel terrible afterwards, they truly know how to cook fresh and healthy ingredients into wonderful down-home meals.
(4)luis s.
I have been here 4 times, and everything i had ha been great. I had the Cali burger last week and I must say one of the best burgers i have had. You must try the Sauteed mushrooms and spinach if you like that sort of stuff. I love the fact that its a small place with a selective menu. Great spot great atmosphere, the only thing that stinks is the parking but thats not there fault
(4)judy b.
Very good lunch, and delivered so quickly, i couldn't believe it (although they are only 1/2 block from my office). the salad was exquisite. good, fresh turkey breast (not processed deli garbage), nice fresh lettuce, the dressing was light and not too oily. the sandwiches looked excellent and were raved about by fellow office mates. will definitely order from there again.
(4)Kevin W.
Amazing cafe perfect for lunch. Great salads, sandwiches, and plates. Prices are reasonable. These people get it and are making excellent food. Only complaints are the parking in a small strip mall and the size of the place. Basically, only 15 people can fit inside this place. Otherwise, great and I can't wait to go back.
(5)Madelyn F.
There really isn't much else I can add to sing the praises of Whisk Gourmet. I love this place! Easy, quick and delicious - what's not to love?
(5)felix r.
Great burger and everything else is really good, understand that its a hole in the wall pretty much used for take out
(4)Franky A.
I've been to a few parties that have used their catering services and the food is by far the best I've had. It's tasty and fresh which is rare for most catered food. I highly recommend using them for a party. I've also had their take out once before and loved it.
(5)Lorena L.
Too pricey for what you get. I got the Buttermilk fried chicken spinach salad and my bf got the skirt steak. Food was good but not out of this world. Server was terrible. Kept forgetting to refill our waters and took the checkbook .5 seconds after I signed it, made me feel rushed. Not a great dessert menu either.
(2)Lilyvania M.
Delish gourmet food- must try the pulled pork burrito (this is not your typical burrito...think the best southern pulled pork with brie that just happens to be wrapped in a tortilla). Always great for lunch (delivery). Agree that can be a little pricey (but totally worth it...your taste buds will thank you).
(4)David C.
So I saw Gaie's ROTD today about Whisk, remember Ramon telling me Friday is the only day they have burgers, and Maria saying "Best burger in Miami" I though, let me check this place out. Obviously I went with the burger and I definitely can say the hype is true. It was a bacon ranch burger, made with homemade ranch sauce and it was spectacular. I didn't know how ranch was going to taste on a burger but I said, what the hell, these guys seem to know what they're doing. I ordered it medium and I was delighted when I cut it in half for easier consumption and it actually was medium ! Let the record show that I also cut it in half for portion control, so I could leave room for the famous key lime pie but my efforts were thwarted by the taste of the burger. They're chips were a nice different side. I will have to return to try the Mahi and maybe next time I will leave space for pie. A+ to whisk. PS They are difficult to find as they have no sign outside, just a small sign on the window. Located in a little strip mall just south of Harry's next to a photo shop.
(5)Ana L.
I was amazed at how good a sandwich can taste!! The place is tiny so go with plenty of time to wait for a table.
(4)Melissa G.
Whisk is by far one of the best tiny hidden gems of Miami... so glad I found it. Everything is tasty... literally, everything. I'm a big fan of the burritos, the fried rice and how they serve thier drinks in glass jar mugs. If you haven't been, go today.
(5)Mariana R.
Moving out of Miami soon this is one of the few places I am going to miss. Love it, everything is amazing the freshest guacamole, the greatest burgers on fridays and the most amazing parmesan dusted potato chips. The whisk is definitely a must try you will love it.
(5)Jolie M.
My favorite place for lunch. I have never had a bad meal here. Everything that they create is spectacular. I have tried almost everything on their menu, but my favorites are the brie and turkey sandwich, whisk burritos with steak or chicken, steak and bleu cheese sandwich, and of course their wonderful homemade potato chips! I always start my meal with a arnold palmer and usually end it with a misha's cupcake or one of their fabulous deserts. Try it, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Annette M.
Small place, no reservations can be made, but worth the wait. They're not open for dinner, but you can take-out - voila! dinner! Come and eat here before they relocate to Kendall! :(
(5)Kelly O.
If I owned a restaurant this is what i'd want it to be: cute, great homemade food, and cozy. I split a great burger it was a cheddar ranch bacon burger and the fried green tomato salad. Both were really well executed. The lemonade and iced tea are made fresh which is a welcomed rarity. However, it is really cramped and our waitress should not be employed in the food industry. She just looked gross her hair was oily, she had no make up on and had broken out with two huge gross zits and she had food on her breasts that I guess she had dirtied by putting the plates too near her. Because of this the place lost a star. I would totally go again and hope to get another server.
(4)danielle b.
I love this place. When I went the first time I tried the fried green tomatoes as an app and the turkey avocado sandwich as an entree with a slice of key lime pie. Everything was delish and just from a picture I took I got all my coworkers psyched on it. We ordered the turkey sandwiches again the next week and they were just as amazing as the first time. I will definitely be back again soon and have taken every opportunity to tell all my friends how amazing it was. My only gripe was the communal seating. I went with my grandmother and she had to get up every time someone needed to get out and this really bugged her. I dont mind as much but next time we will definitely wait for one of the individual tables.
(5)A A.
If only the service was as good as the food. I have stopped coming here becuase the waiters act like they are doing you a favor. In particular the female bartender that is often behind the bar is especially rude and not service oriiented. I have sat at the bar several times and I always wonder how a place that pays so much attention to their food can keep someone like this on staff.
(3)Christine d.
Seriously, this is one of the best lunches I've had, ever. We ordered take-out so can't give an opinion about the place, the wait, etc... But the food is absolutely scrumptious. Don't miss the homemade chips! Mmmm
(4)Eileen A.
Love the new renovation. We need more restaurants like this in the South Miami/Coral Gables area. The decor is nice, the service is great, and the menu is different. Fried Green Tomatos are awesome!! I believe I had Spicy Skirt Steak Filets as my entree and it was pretty good, but I would try something different next time. Great place to meet for lunch or a girls dinner night. The restaurant is quite loud so it is not somewhere I would necessarily go to if I was on a date.
(4)Carol Ann R.
We were introduced to Whisk on one of our annual trips to Miami. Thought the sandwiches and cookies were the best I had ever tasted! Now we go back on every visit - even if we have to think of an excuse to eat sandwiches. Almost worth a transcontinental flight. Fortunately, we visit Miami pretty often and can indulge ourselves at Whisk.
(5)Judy D.
Very disappointing first experience. After reading the rave reviews, we had to try Whisk for dinner. The very best thing, in our experience, were the fried green tomatoes. The sandwiches were very mundane and bland, though the fish in mine was cooked perfectly. The lack of parking was a problem, there was food on the floor and I almost fell on my arse and we sat next to a shrieking baby. Our waiter was very pleasant....and cute! There are no frills and we had to shout to be heard. Two sandwiches, one order of fried green tomatoes, a beer and iced tea plus a gratuity came out to $60. Ridiculous. Unless they do something special, this new shiny food establishment will be nothing more than another flash in the pan. We won't be returning.

This place is yummy. We were told this place is good so we decided to try it at. The place is small but there is always people waiting to eat here. I had BLT with egg and that was good. I like that the bacon was not salty, the egg was a bit runny which I love because that is the way I make my BLT and Egg sandwich. My friends had the Charleston Chicken Salad and other friend had Roasted Turkey Sandwich and an order of there home made chips and home made key lime pie. For drinks it was Ice tea. The second time we went there I had the fried rice with chicken and my friends had steak sandwich and Dry Marinated Skirt Steak w/ Haricot Verts, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, Red Onion Confit & Macerated Grape Tomatoe. With home made chips and again key lime pie. Again everything was soooooo good. GO TO THIS PLACE TO EAT. It is worth the wait.

Food is fresh, flavors are great and the service is very friendly. I would give this place 5 stars except that it's really really cramped. Go on off hours or take food for take out. I don't think it can seat more than 20 people if that much and you feel like a sardine.

I probably stop by Whisk at least once a month. Today I went with two friends and split the Turkey Avocado sandwich and the Chicken Salad sandwich, loaded with walnuts, on multigrain bread. Finished it with a lemonade and half a Red velvet cupcake, which made my afternoon. Daily specials are listed on their website. YUM.

I always use yelp to find good restaurants and I've been batting pretty much a thousand with it. This was no exception. I was visiting from Washington DC and went here for lunch. The sandwiches are beautifully made and delicious. The atmosphere was excellent. They even had the Dolphins game on tv up over the bar which was a nice plus. Parking is a little difficult during busy times but that's about the only issues I can see though I did find parking pretty quickly myself.

Nice place. Happy I took a ride from the Miami beach area and did dinner the other night. Everything was really fresh. And tasty. Love those brown bag potato chips. I had the steak sandwich which was really amazing. The steak was cooked as ordered and tender. Service was somewhat spotty but adequate. The place was super busy for a tuesday evening but I understand that only because this place seems very popular with local residents. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice menu and delicious eclectic cuisine at a reasonable price. Just as an aside if your lucky enough to get seated by the open kitchen area you will be treated to a real show as the kitchen chugs away and creates some really great food. It was nice to see how efficiently the kitchen moved delicious food out to patrons.

I had an amazing pork burrito at Whisk. It was like an entire Cuban meal wrapped as a delicious package...yummmm! The staff is super friendly and the quaint space reminded me of someone's cozy kitchen.
(5)Penny G.
WOWOWOOWOWOW SOOOOOOOO YUMMY. This location is much more spacious and fresh and comfy. This is another spot that EVERYTHING is amazing, you cant go wrong with ANYTHING. Highly recommend any of the specials, the turkey avocado w bacon sandwich, anything containing the fried green tomatos, the turkey and dried cranberry salad, fried chicken salad, burritos, and burgers!! Everything is SUPER fresh and you can just tell that alot of thought has gone into WHISK GOURMET. So happy to hear they are open all day and even for dinner. Only thing is they need more parking!! A++++ total class act w amazing service and food, cannot say enough fab things about it, must go ASAP!!

oooohhhh yummy! We stopped here after going to the botanical gardens and oh my! so good! We started with the fried green tomatoes with a buttermilk dressing, delicious. Perfect cornmeal crust and the dressing was so fresh, loved it. We also had the cornbread with scallion butter. My husband and I both loved the cornbread, it was moist and crumbly with pieces of corn throughout it. I liked the sweetness of the butter because I'm a fan of honey butter but I could have done without the scallions. It wasn't bad but I would have preferred just the sweet. My husband really liked the scallion flavor which is curious because he hates onion?? My entree was a special hamburger of the day that had mushrooms, cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato on a eggy bun. It was awesome and messy. One of the top burgers I've had. My husband got the special Pork Loin Chop of the day with roasted garlic potatoes and baby carrots. It had a light breading with some gravy ooooh good. The potatoes where outstanding and the carrots were even yummy and I don't really like cooked carrots. As you can see I really enjoyed my meal and I would so go back again! The place is a little bit I'm to cool for school as well as a lot of the people who go there (salads for everyone) but hey it's miami. The waitress was nice and the food is great.

Heard about this place a while back and finally made it for lunch a couple weeks ago. Overall it was a good experience. I would give this place 5 stars based on the food I tried, but the lack of parking, so so service, and lack of seating is definitely a downer. When I go somewhere I don't want to wait 5 minutes to find a parking spot and I definitely want to be seated when I walk in. I did have to wait a couple minutes for someone to leave the parking lot for us to get a parking space but luckily as we walked in a couple was leaving and we were seated quickly (however, this is not the case for the people who walked in after us and had to stand there for 15 minutes waiting..). Couldn't believe it but I knew the people seated at the table next to us and they gave us rave reviews for the food, along with recommendations. I had the mahi mahi sandwich and my boyfriend tried the turkey sandwich. My sandwich was amazing! I mean, I really loved it and highly recommend it. The boyfriend rated the turkey sandwich 7 out of 10 stars, so pretty good. When I asked our server for the corn bread she said they had run out for the day. Fortunately, I mean VERY fortunately our neighbor table had some leftover and shared. It was really good. And so was the desert we chose, a slice of key lime pie. It was made thick and delicious : ) Over the course of our eating there I heard a couple people ask for brownies, and I also heard the server tell them they had run out.. which is another reason I rated this place 4 stars. It wasn't that late in the afternoon to be running out of things like corn bread and brownies. I mean, when I go out to eat I want to know that I can find a spot to park, I won't be waiting 15 minutes to be seated (for lunch), and they have enough food. I don't think these are unreasonable demands. Thankfully the food they do have makes this place worth checking out. Hope they move to the larger location very soon!

this really is not a review as i've only been to whisk one time based on the recommendation of the 'yelp' lady in miami. however, my note is to let everyone know that whisk has moved. the new address is; 7382 SW 56th Ave. Coral Gables, FL 33146 (786) 268-8350
(4)Chris G.
Twice visited and solid performance. Great cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Met the owner and they are looking for new space to grow. The fries are tasty as is the steak and salads....bring your own wine or buy a bottle at the liquor store next door.
(4)Jenny G.
The best lunch in Miami, hands down. Everything these people touch turns to gold. You can order a block of wood with turpentine on it and somehow they will make it delicious. One of the top ten things I miss most about Miami.
(5)Katy L.
After about a year and a half of hearing about this place I decided to give it a go. Turns out this is a great spot for lunch. I have been twice in the past two weeks and both times everyone has enjoyed everything! I recommend the Mahi Mahi Sandwich,the BLT with fried egg, the Parmesan dusted potato chips, the blondies, and the key lime pie. I will definitely be going back!!
(4)Meghan K.
This place is delicious and the staff is so friendly. It is pretty small, so leave extra time or order take out! Highly recommended!

I've been to whisk gourmet now many times and I think every thing on their menu is ubiquitously good. I think I reached the peak of goodness when I came on Friday to try the Pastrami and cheddar burger. Wait a minute. PASTRAMI AND CHEDDAR BURGER? Where do they get the audacity to make such a diabolical creation? This isn't normal! This can't go together! These are two items best enjoyed separately. Well, defying all logic, Whisk went ahead and combined the cured deli meat with the ground cheeseburger. It was fantastic. That's what I love about this place--they're daring. The meat is so juicy and thick, the bun is out of this world, the pastrami was a hit. Is it the best burger I've ever had? I don't know. It's up there. It depends on my mood. It's a different experience than getting a burger at Tobacco Road, so it's hard to measure them up. To me, there's nothing more satisfying in this world than having one of those death burgers with fries at Tobacco Road with lots of beer. The now extinct burger joint Bill & Ted's in the Sunset area undoubtedly had the best burgers Miami has ever seen. But, Whisk Gourmet does something incredible with the burger and kind of rejuvenates our love for burgers by offering a new burger every week. It's exciting and gives Miamians a worthy tradition that can probably pass the test of time. I've also tried the avocado turkey sandwich and the Charleston Chicken Salad sandwich. All of their sandwiches tend to be awesome. I think this could be my favorite place to get lunch nowadays in Miami.

Based on Yelp my husband and I decided to try lunch 1/21/2010. We arrived before 12 and were very surprised at the crowd already forming. The place was cozy and we were immediately welcomed by our server. We were seated at 1 large table with 2 other couples. Again based on prior reviews, I had my heart set on the turkey avocado sandwich. My husband and I both ordered the turkey avocado sandwich and It was excellent, I also would like to mention it was generous size sandwich. My husband is a big eater, but the lunch filled him up! The couple sitting next to us offered us their remaining date wrapped in bacon and it was delicious. He was also a yelper, nice guy. We were very pleased with lunch and will definently return! Btw we also ordered a slice of the key lime pie it was excellent! Definetly recommend this place!!!
(5)Rob C.
yelpers have it right, and it's a consensus agreement. had the grilled mahi on mixed grain with the side of parmesan potato chips. simple tasty flavors executed very well. place is small, kinda like a room in a house, so consider takeout. watch online for the rotating specials. only prob is it closes by 7 and not open for service on weekends (just catering)
(5)Michelle F.
Their turkey sandwich with brie is to die for!
(4)Casandra P.
This is the restaurant I wish I had across the street from my house. I not only love the food but also the variety, all so well executed. As proof of how much I love the lechon burritos, I drive from South Beach to the South Gables, circle the tiny parking lot, give up on legal parking, park next door at Havana Harry's while risking being towed, run out of the car, place my order, run back outside to make sure I don't get towed, pick up my order and eat it in the car. I did sit at the restaurant once when I went in the evening and it was a wonderful experience. It is very homey with lots of interesting ingredients on the shelf to peruse while waiting for dinner. By the way, the delivered lunch catering is also excellent. The food quality and taste does not suffer at all as a result of the transport. I can't say enough nice things about Whisk. I just hope it is around for a long time and they better never take those lechon burritos off the menu. I'm addicted!
(5)Giulia A.
we order from here for lunch at the office all the time. food is consistently great. no one at the office has ever complained - and we're a tough crowd to please when it comes to food.
(5)Charlie B.
great place for lunch...roast beef sandwich with brie with roasted pear and gorgonzola salad was very very good...popped in next door to cup cake nouveau for the most delicious cupcakes...best part though..spending time with JeanMarc, friend/twitter/yelper
(4)miami g.
Great food and service... and wonderful for catering. Only thing missing is more tables and booze and it would be the perfect!
(4)Barbie B.
I love this brother and sister owned and operated tiny restaurant! I always call for pick up because it gets crazy busy at lunch time. I almost always order the turkey and brie sandwich and add avocado. The portions are large, if I'm eating normally I can only finish half a sandwich, but sometimes it tastes too good to stop. They have amazing key lime pie and who can say no to a cupcake from Mishas?
(5)Tiffany S.
We order from the this restaurant quite frequently at work. The food is amazing and always fresh. We only wish they could deliver a little earlier seeing as though we eat at 12 and usually they can't make until 12:30. However the great tasting food, and friendly delivery guy definitely make up for the later delivery time. Finally my last suggestion would be that they should open on the weekends. I would love to go there with friends on the weekends to share such fresh and tasty food.
(4)Lizette Q.
After reading so many reviews.. my friends and I decided to hit up WHISK. The location was great, a little tucked in, however, they have parking upfront and it's also walking distance to the Sunset Place Shops. The place inside was small yet comfortable. We were seated immediately; (I think we beat the dinner rush) and shown the specials of the days. I had the grilled and slice skirt steak sandwich which consisted of multigrain bread, steak, lettuce, tomato and I believe a blue cheese dressing topped off with caramelized onions. The sandwich was delicious; the items in the sandwich were a great compliment. My only complaint was that the steak was a little hard but it could have been because I ordered it well done. My friend ordered theirs medium well and was a little softer. Still my sandwich was delish and I would have it again. The sandwich came with the house chips and OMG these chips were freaking great. The chips were crispy, somewhat sweet with shaved parmesan cheese - QUE RICO! The chips alone are worth a repeat visit. We ended the meal with a slice of the key lime pie. The key lime pie was served with whip cream and several pieces of raspberry. The key lime was really good, it was sweet, smooth and with the right amount of tangy. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. Our waitress could have afforded to smile a bit, but otherwise, a great place...I would definitely go back.

WHISK = Home-y, Tasty, Consistent food. As a local (live in South Gables), this is definitely our "go-to" spot. It has never failed us (and we've been going there at least twice a month for the last year). My husband always orders the same dish, the Pork Loin (comes with roasted potatoes and green beans and carrots), and it's ALWAYS been cooked perfectly! We also always order the fried green tomatoes and they are also always crispy and super tasty! I always alternate with salads and they have all been great, considering I don't like a lot of "stuff" on my salads. My personal fave is the Turkey, Goat cheese and cranberry Spinach salad. Go for it! They even have the appetizer portion on this one. We've also ordered the corn bread with pulled BBQ pork, the fish of the day, shrimp and grits (by far the BEST in town) and most sandwiches (which I find to be the best sandwich deals in town! They are large and delicious for the price!) The only problem is parking- there is barely any. We usually have to wait for about 20min for a spot to open up unless we're lucky... If you haven't tried this SOMI spot, go for it! Great for lunch and dinner!
(5)Tasha D.
Came in on a Saturday for lunch w/ the girls, and it was packed. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated (which can be a ridiculously long time for the ravenously hungry). The design is modern, clean, and simple. Thankfully, nothing too pretentious. After being seated, we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes and Orange Basil soda, which were amazing! For lunch, we had the sandwiches which took a lot longer than expected to come out. However, the food was definitely worth the wait. Had one of the best tuna avocado sandwiches in my life, and I felt completely satisfied. I liked the concept of farm to table, you can definitely taste the freshness in their food, and the Open Kitchen was a nice touch. Liked this place a lot :) Would definitely come back, but be prepared to wait on Saturdays.

FINALLY! I have been hearing from many-a-yelper that this place was outta hand. I had an inkling that I would not be disappointed, since I hold yelp recommendations in high esteem. 'Twas true yet again. Went today for lunch with some fellow yelpers, and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table at lunch time. The place is tiny, about 4 tables, but no matter. The wait was well worth it. This place really does have the best burger I've ever had. (No, I've never been to 8 Oz, B&B, or One Burger, but I have a hard time believing any of those places could even come close to what I savored today). I had the pastrami and aged cheddar burger (minus the pastrami, wasnt really in the mood for it). The aged cheddar was the perfect cheese for a burger. It enhanced the flavor of the beef perfectly. Not ONLY does this place have the best burger, but they also happen to have the most incredibly home made chips I've tasted in my entire life. Like the good foodie that I am, even though I was full I kept reaching for the chips on my plate, each time thinking "ok, last one". They're just too good to be left on the dish alone and unwanted. I had a tiny little bite of their key lime pie, and it was amazing. A frequent mistake I have found with key lime pies is that people tend to make them too tart with not enough of a sweet kick to balance it out. Not at Whisk. Even if you have no room left after the world's best burger and home-made chips, do yourself the favor of ordering this pie. Next time I plan on trying the Gorgonzola salad. I saw one of the waitresses bringing over to the table next to us, and it looked too good to pass up. Added bonus- they serve their drinks in mason jars :)
(5)Ashley T.
I love the food and the atmosphere! I have been to Whisk a couple times as it came highly recommended by a few friends. Trust me you wont be disappointed. It has such a down to earth feel with great food! It has limited parking, but I am not afraid of having to walk a little bit more for some good food. I have tired the roasted turkey (roasted in their kitchen, not deli meat) salad and a daily BBQ chicken special, both were great. I also like that they have a vegetable plate that includes their special vegetable sides for the day....love me some dark leafy greens! By far the best thing I have had at Whisk is their Mango Cake! Oh is it to die for! I am not a big sweets person but it has to be one of the best cakes I have ever had and I crave it now. So when you go, ask if they have their mango cake and order a slice (which is more like two slices in size). I wish more small local spots like Whisk would start popping up around South Miami!
(5)alison s.
Absolutely Declicious! I went to Whisk for the first time after hearing great things and it went above and beyond my expectations. The place has great atmosphere, the staff is friendly and the food superb! We started with the fried green tomatoes, okra, and bacon wrapped dates which were out of this world. For an entree I had the shrimp and avocado salad..amazing, I cleaned the plate! As full as I was I had to try the dessert which was bread pudding-phenomenal, AND some dark chocolate mousse with pralines-OMG I was in heaven. I will be returning here very very soon!
(5)Cliff F.
Whisk is exactly the type of restaurant that I absolutely love to love. The menu is full of mouthwatering dishes, playful flavor combos, and good ingredients. Unfortunately, I feel like Whisk has succumbed to a typical disease of this type of restaurant...complacency. Changing the menu every now and then doesn't solve the problem inherent with this type of food--if it isn't executed well, it isn't worth eating. We ordered the brussel sprouts with bacon (a special), and I was underwhelmed. Nothing original about the dish, and the bacon was more there for texture than flavor...not something bacon is used to. Overall, underwhelming and under seasoned. Each of us order skirt steak dishes for dinner, my dining companion the skirt steak salad and myself the skirt steak sandwich. Salad -- meat was DANGEROUSLY undercooked, and this is from someone who enjoys rare beef. DANGEROUSLY. Also, lukewarm...Sandwich -- bleu cheese was indistinguishable as blue cheese and the beef was lukewarm. I'm more disappointed than anything, I'd heard such good things. Maybe it deserves a second chance...but not anytime soon. I'm still disappointed.
(2)Brian R.
This is a gem of a place, tucked away where what passes for locals find it more than those of us from farther away. The menu is inventive and reasonably deep for a small place, the food is wonderfully presented, tastes great, and the atmosphere is just to the hip side without sliding into hipster territory.
(5)Eve C.
I knew I needed to try Whisk the moment all my favorite Yelpers started giving it glowing 5-star reviews. Unfortunately, I work too far away to go for lunch, and they're not open for dinner. Finally, as fortune would have it, I didn't have to work on a Friday, enlisted a couple friends, and off we went! Since it was burger friday after all, I couldn't resist, and I was treated to a huge beefy burger topped with carmelized onions, bacon, and gorgonzola. Yum and yum! The parmesan-dusted homemade chips were equally awesome. For starters we tried the guacamole, with fresh-fried tortilla chips, and the fried green tomatoes. They were both delish! The chips were a wee bit greasy, but that's cool. One friend had the chicken salad sandwich on multigrain, and it was quite tasty. Another had the burger, and loved it as well. And the last one had the burritos, which were quite tasty, and even better with a splash of hot sauce. We all saved room for dessert and tried the blondie and Brendan's Famous Key Lime Pie. The blondie was good, but maybe a few too many chocolate chips for me - let me taste that blondie flavor! The key lime pie was indescribable. I wish I had ordered one just for myself, and I know that next time I will! The service was fantastic. Our waitress even kindly asked a couple to move to a 2-top to make room for our party of 4. The super-nice couple kindly obliged, and we barely had to wait 10 minutes for our table. Our waitress was there to refill our drinks when we drained them, and couldn't have been nicer. I don't know when I'll get to actually eat at Whisk again, but I have devised a plan that will allow me to call in my order, drive down from my office, pick it up, and be back before my lunch hour's up. So it means I have to eat at my desk. For Whisk, it's totally worth it!!
(5)Bill L.
First of all, this would be a five star rating had it not been for the hostess forgetting about us and seating others ahead of us. The situation was remedied and we decided to eat at the bar. Whisk is one of the best restaurants in Miami. This is a no nonsense kind of place with a wide variety of offerings to satisfy just about any craving. We started with a nice glass of processo which then led to a Cobain Syrah suggested by the hostess. At $40, it was a bit pricey for what it was but still good. Fried green tomatoes did not disappoint. I can't say I have ever had real, homemade FGTs. The ones at most of the southern type joints I've been to are of the frozen variety that are not good at all. These were not like that at all. I liked that the breading did not fall off in one big clump when touched with a fork. We split the herb crusted veal skirt steak special. Wonderful. I don't like that they charge a split fee. We were thinking of having a couple offerings so that's why we split. They do serve splits on two plates however one would have sufficed. Perhaps if we had just ordered the entree without specifying a split they would not have charged the split fee. I will ask next time. We finished off the evening with a wonderful chocolate bread pudding. I am a huge bread pudding fan and the chocolate variety was intriguing. Good stuff. It isn't a big deal but wow is this place loud. I'm surprised they wouldn't make attempts at softening the din by using some heavy cloth wall coverings or even some acoustic foam on the ceiling. Both of these items could be disguised as art and applied tastefully to the space. Thanks Whisk. I will most certainly return.
(4)Mark J.
Honestly just go. I've been there two days in a row now and I am itching to go back for dinner. And I absolutely hate routines. I'm a spontaneous type of person that doesn't like to eat eggs for breakfast two days in a row, so believe me when I say it's a marvelous joint. The decor is very American and elegant, completely open format vibe(great job to the designer) The food is absolutely amazing. Best Key Lime pie I've ever had, best Mahi Mahi sandwich I've ever had. Great American Coffee. Amazing shrimp & grits platter. I would down my rating due to the location, but the food gives me such a warm home-like feeling inside, the location of the restaurant (it's tucked away on a side street close to Sunset Mall in South Miami) is not an issue. The staff members are very nice, educated, and engaging. It's creative, it feels right and tastes good. "Whisk" it up for lunch or dinner next time you're in the Sunset/South Fla area! Oh ya -they cater! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Location: 4/5
(5)Shane A.
Always outstanding
(5)Ricardo M.
One place I wish I remembered to go to more often. Always fantastic food (the Fried Green Tomatoes is a must) and the service is always friendly. A bit on the higher side, but the quality is apparent with every meal. Highly recommended.
(5)Amelia G.
This is by far the most "foodie" place in my neighborhood. Everything else around us, is either too commercial or for the "non-adventurous" types. I've been here MANY times for lunch and once for dinner and it's an awesome spot for some good beer and a good, quick bite for a great price. Only critique is, it's SO loud. You really have to yell to have a conversation. Ew. Either way, the food is awesome, so if you don't want the noise, order it to go, it's just as good. Don't miss out on the following: - Charleston Chicken sandwich - this is my regular order and it's the best chicken sandwich in town. I guarantee it. - Brown bag chips are...FIRE! - Pork Burrito - is HUGE and perfect for two people (they bring you two burritos!!!!) - Bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese...I know everyone is doing it, but it's really good. So why not? Dessert is "meh," nothing out of this world...stick to drinks and beer and get dessert somewhere else in town. Oh, and by the way, they do a fresh Arnold Palmer...and it's awesome.
(4)George G.
Love the food! Dig the fried green tomatoes, all the salads, sandwiches and the specials are top notch! Im just down the street so I get to pop in for often. 2 complaints, that keep me from giving the 5 star treatment 1st, is the parking, it sucks in the worst way. Luck I can walk but the 2 times I have driven I have been blocked in by another diner( whom went ahead & sat down to eat). furthermore, every time I have eaten here some kind of parking issue or dispute has occurred. The place has 8 tight compact spots w/ 1 lane to pull in & back out of. Some folks get really heated! So, that reviewer that said he had no parking problems, just remember it summer & when school gets in this highly residential neighborhood gets packed!!! 2nd, the place has only like 10 individual tables and they take reservations for lunch. This really becomes a problem when you have a line out the door and it's a rushing lunch crowd. Your next in line, you see your table open up, your ready to eat and BAM! " I'm sorry I have to hold this table it's been reserved."
(4)Alex C.
It's really tiny in here so you might have to be getting up to let people by. The fried green tomato side is really well done and comes fresh from the fryer. My Turkey and Brie sandwich left a bit to be desired, though. It felt like something I could make (and be disappointed by) at home. However, I hear it from a good source that the Friday burger is the cat's pajamas so I will try that next time.
(3)Angelina N.
I miss their old big ooey gooey break apart to glorious strands of warm chocolate-baked to perfection chocolate chip cookies. Now they are doing "cookies and milk" which is a plate of 4 small stale cookies with funky flavors and a shot glass of goopy sugary "milk" to dip them in. Whisk...if you can hear me...don't fix something that isn't broken. Please bring back the old recipe of giant cookie deliciousness stacked in a jar! I would give it 5 stars for the impeccable food and excellent service but, as a chocolate chip cookie fanatic, it broke my heart to end a perfect meal with a not-so pleasant dessert.
(4)Cory P.
After hearing about it for a long time, we finally decided to give this place a shot since we moved a couple of blocks away might as well get to know the new 'hood. After almost giving up due to no parking available, there was quite a long wait so decided to just sit and order at the bar. Im so glad we did! Hands down, best avocado BLT EVER! My husband had the hangar steak sandwich and said it was pretty good. The key lime pie was ok, not great The bacon wrapped dates were wayyy too sweet. Also they are supposed to be stuffed with gorgonzola cheese.....but I didn't taste any, so that was confusing. Place was crowded so will have to return during a weeknight or maybe for lunch, but the food was delish. Prob more of a lunch place though because larger selection of sandwiches.
(3)Elyse W.
Damn, Whisk. It's like you were a pretty, Midwestern farm girl who went to Hollywood, met your gays, and became a bombshell. I mean, damn, ever since this place moved to South Miami and became a proper restaurant, its fantastic! I took my dads here for his birthday and he's got classic American, Cheesecake Factory/I WANNA BIG 'OLE PIECE OF DEAD COW ON MY PLATE STAT type of guy. Okay, I'm not really being fair, he has more discerning taste than that, but I've taken him to other places in town I really like -- Michy's, Mandolin Aegean , Grazianos -- and he'll roll his eyes, like I'm some kind of pretentious snob or something, which I might be (BUT MY TASTE IS THE BEST.....right?.....RIGHT??!!?!?!!!! -- sorry, I channeled Kanye West there for a second). Anyway, the thing is, my mom is a phenomenal cook, so for my dad to throw down money on food, it better be ample and it better be good and Whisk totally fit the bill (which I paid). Everything we ordered was bursting (like a Kardashian in Spanx) with flavor -- from the bacon wrapped dates, to the salads, and the entrees -- all of which everyone agreed were kick ass. I got the spicy seared beef and it had this really great sweet and spicy dynamic to it that was super satisfying. Even the side of spinach was tasty, THE SPINACH! If Popeye ate here on the regular, he'd end up looking like J. Wellington Wimpy. Service was great as well. Had the same cute waiter, Dan, who was very sweet to my blunt parents (my mom: "I want your cheapest glass of red wine, please"....she also conned him into letting her keep this ceramic cow that pours milk from its mouth that Whisk gives you with your order of coffee...and he was nice about it...) After the meal, my mom asked me if it was as good as her food and I said, "Yes...if you had gone to culinary school" because it's basically American comfort food executed by someone with a sophisticated sense of flavors and textures. Just a really good place.
(5)Jose M.
Whisk is a very popular spot for locals and was packed. I've heard so many good things about this place and was looking forward to eating here. My expectations were high. On the service side no complaints. Great service and nice ambiance. The food. The food. I liked the food, but was not blow away. I so much wanted to love the food. It was good, but not incredible gourmet. The prices on the other hand were gourmet. I think food items are expensive because they use a lot of organic meats and vegetables, so please don't change that. I am willing to pay for organic. Desert was good also. Had the Key Lime pie. A pricey piece of Key Lime Pie at that. I recommend going here, but it won't be my first choice.

Took a friend here on a Thursday evening at around 9 and was seated without reservations in 15 minutes. Nice casual cool vibe. Had the bacon wrapped date appetizer which were a great mix of sweet and salty taste. For an entree, I had the shrimp and grits which was extremely tasty. The grits by themselves had great flavor with a buttery taste mixed with crushed bacon. The shrimp were also good and had some bacon grease caked on the tail shells as a bonus that gave them some extra flavor when I sucked out the meat in the tail. Lol. My friend had the burrito and loved it. All in all for the flavor and price, this place is a winner!

I am never disappointed with the food at Whisk. Delicious. Parking is rather annoying and the wait can be a little intense but it is one of the best places to dine in the area.

I went to Whisk for the first time this past Wednesday. I met four of my girlfriends for dinner. First the pros: the food was great, ambiance nice, if a little too loud. The Fried Green Tomato appetizer and hummus were delish. My entree was the beet salad, which was amazing! Now, as far as the things that I think they need to address for future visits: please have something better than folding chairs for those instances where an extra chair is needed at a table. Also, please be a little more prompt with the service: getting us our first drink, taking orders, getting our bill out, picking up payment. The waiter was slow with respect to all of this. The chocolate cake/mousse dessert was soooo worth the calories. : )

Great spot in South Miami/Coral Gables/Pinecrest (I am not sure what city it is actually in since all three converge in that area). The atmosphere is kind of like an upscale deli yet small town eatery. My personal favorite is the turkey and avacado sandwich. Very good spot for family, friends couples, or alone. It is your choice. In my opinion it is a weeknight spot where you go to enjoy yourself without spending too much.

I came here for burger Friday because my bf lovessss burgers. After looking for parking for 15 minutes, we finally found a spot right in front. My bf loved the burger and I thought it was good, which is a major feat because I don't like burgers. I could tell that this was a high quality, juicy burger, with a lot of flavor and not that dead cow taste I find in other burgers. The lemonade was also yummy. It is a little weird to eat there though because its so small, it feels like you're eating in someone's kitchen.
(4)Adrian S.
The homemade potato chips, bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola, shrimp n grits, vegetable fried rice w/ churrasco & lemonade were all very good. Absolutely love this place. Won't give it the 5th star just yet. I've only been there once.

it sucks to have to drop whisk down to 3 stars but last night my dining experience left much to be desired. i have always been a huge fan and am recommending whisk left and right even though i hadnt been to the new location. the new south miami location is really nice, probably 5 times larger than the old space, but they still manage a nice home feeling. the service was just alright, we had to ask for water refills and our waiter was not the least bit interested in small talk, mentioning specials, or offering recommendations. we went with 2 specials from the chalk board. the dates/feta entree salad and the veal skirt steak. although they were both entrees we wanted to share them. much to our surprise when the bill came, we got a $1 sharing fee for the salad and a $3 sharing fee for the steak. i was pissed but honestly didnt feel like complaining over 4 bucks. although no where on the menu did i see a sharing fee. and we shared 2 entrees between 2 people, not like we didnt both order something. also, charging $1 for refills is just tacky (its in a really small mason jar btw, so you for sure need a refill, since it is filled to the rim with ice). i hate nickel and diming from restaurants, especially when the entrees are about 15-20 on average. the salad was good but i think it only had 2 dates sliced up. the steak was very bland and nothing special at all. i was disappointed to say the least. im sure i will give it another shot but will stick to the staple salads/sandwiches or friday burgers.

If you're a sandwich snob, or even just a sandwich enthusiast, you're gonna love this place. It's a hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem with so many delicious combinations to choose from. It's a great place to go with family or friends, but not for an intimate dinner cause it can get a little loud when it gets busy. The fried green tomatoes are a good choice, and so far my favorite sandwich is the Grilled Tuna Salad Avocado Bacon Melt. It fills you up without feeling too heavy afterwards.
(5)Adrey D.
I really made an effort to like this place but it was hard after being seated next to the kitchen open window and seeing one of the cooks take out his cellphone constantly and touch it and then touch the food NO GLOVES and seeing the trash pass by my table... isn't that some kind of code violation??? (whisk people: why would you put an open window looking into the kitchen? isn't that risking customers coughing inside or hair falling in? the first time I went i liked my salad although the fried chicken was so so but after being seated net to the kitchen im never coming back.
(1)judy n.
Wow. There's not much more to be said. After all the other Stellar reviews, I HAD To come try this place out. Bacon wrapped gorgonzola stuffed dates - great mix of sweet and savory The Fried green tomato sandwich was AWESOME! Roast turkey and brie sandwich - the brie MADE the sandwich. Why hasn't anyone else ever thought of that? Fingerling potato chips - mm! Key Lime Pie - fresh and light, and not too tart- Just Right! The pulled pork burrito was alright... i'd easily come back for more of the above things. With the very reasonable prices, awesome service.... you don't have a reason not to try this place.

I have eaten several meals from Whisk always take out. I ventured there for the first time and can't say this will be a regular in my dining rotation. Let's start with the decor. There is nothing to write about. A bar, a picture window of the kitchen. Dark woods and no fancy decor, art work, or unique decorations. If you are seated at the high tops get ready for family style because you are at a large table and the chairs are very close together. On to the food. Everybody said try the pulled pork appetizer its the best. Not so much. The corn bread base (square) fell apart upon cutting. The pulled pork did not have that rich deep taste that smoked (or even slow cooker) pork should have. And there was a taste of the food having been prepared a couple of days ago and this was the left over that I could not shake. The "grilled" tuna salad with bacon sprouts and whatever else was in there was tasty and came cutely presented (wrapped in paper, cut in half, stacked and skewered with a good size vampire stake) on a plate. The bread was tasty, did not get any grill taste from the "grilled" tuna, but the sandwich was good. Pricey, but good. BUT, it came on a plate with the wax paper wrapping and vampire stake and nothing else. Nothing else. For the price, how about a pickle spear, or something more frou frou as an accompaniment or at least for appearance. The company had a salad that seemed substantial and had lots of goat cheese. We ordered the side of chips which are good, but maybe next time the chips good be more full size chips and not chiplets or chips of chip. Kind of hard to get the potato taste from a chip of a chip. Prices are high. Service was ok. The food, except for the pulled pork yuck, was fresh and there were some interesting ideas and menu items. Maybe next time I will have to eat at low rise table.

Whisk is a hidden gem. And by hidden, I really mean hidden. It's tucked away in a strip mall in what has been a catering office. You know by now from the ratings and other reviews that the food is great, really it is. But the hidden gem aspect really brings it down a notch for me. This place seats about 15 people. We were lucky enough to get there right after Noon, but those who got there any later were waiting for a table. And there's not exactly a place to wait so they were essentially standing over all of the other diners. The service was prompt, but I didn't enjoy eating inside a catering office elbow-to-elbow with the other 14 guests. I had a Turkey, Avocado, and Applewood smoked bacon sandwich. It was really great. A huge sandwich with just the right amount of mayo on warm multi-grain bread. My sister had a tuna salad salad, and the tuna was seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of dijon. There's a lot of great food in this town, and plenty of places to get a good salad or sandwich. Until Whisk gets a more proper venue, you might want to choose something else.

Though it's hidden away from the main drag of South Miami, WHISK continuously pleases the masses. If you are looking for a low-key restaurant with great home-style food, Whisk is a great option. Try their pulled-pork with cornbread or their bacon wrapped dates. Also, their salads are fabulous.
(4)Michael S.
I really want to love this place as much as much as my fellow Yelpers but I can't help but think that the only reason this place is getting such rave reviews is because of the pathetic state of restaurants and food in South Florida. If this were in Brooklyn or Portland or the Bay Area or LA or.... it would maybe rate three stars. This place is a lot like the Buena Vista Bistro. A really good little neighborhood joint. There should be at lease two of these in downtown Coral Gables, four on the Beach, a couple downtown, Morningside, up and down US-1,etc. they should be all over the place. The food is good and solid but not great. I have had several dishes and none were disappointing. I will surely be coming back. What I would really like is to eat like this on a consistent basis any where I am in South Florida, good simple food served well for a reasonable price.
(4)Sebastian R.
Very nice place, food was really good. Very flavorful. My only concern maybe the parking. Would definitely return to try other dishes.
(4)Maite H.
Love love love...can't get enough of the food here. Love their turkey avocado sandwich which is the best I've ever had. Parking can be a pain when the restaurant is busy. Wish it was open on Sundays. Love the cutesy decor inside bulbs hanging from a wire with a whisk looking covering.
(5)John M.
Went at 6:30pm on a Friday now and there was plenty of seating for two to four people. Is a very American and country style place in it's food selection. The water is also served in jars with handles which you would only find at a country place! Pretty good burger and chips. The turkey and cranberry salad was really good too! However, I liked the $10 burger at the FIU food trucks much better.
(4)Mary e.
Oh, the things we do for a good lunch! I parked 5 blocks away because there was nothing closer. Thankfully, it was a beauuuutiful day for walking. Got there and there was a 25 min wait. Yikes! But two spots opened up at the counter and we quickly snagged them. And it was packed! Whisk needs a bigger place! Was it worth it? Oh yeah! I had the scrumptiously delicious tomato bisque and the chicken salad on multigrain. My taste buds were in heaven. My lunch buddy had the blackened fish sandwich. She said it was heavenly too! Leave it to whisk to make your taste buds dance and your heart pitter-patter. I love this place.
(4)Ashley R.
My husband and I went to whisk for date night tonight and it was delicious! I'd been there once and loved it, but this was my husbands first time. We started with the fried green tomatoes (a personal favorite) and the BBQ pork appetizer, which was EXTREMELY good. We split the house greens salad and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken for dinner. It was the perfect amount of food and the buttermilk fried chicken was AMAZING! The service and ambiance was perfect. We'll be back soon.

So, I popped by Whisk for lunch and I.... J*zzed In My Pants. youtube.com/watch?v=4pXf… Andy Samberg and the Lonely Island crew need to hook it up with some seriously absorbant Underoos before visiting this foodgasm inducing restaurant, 'cause things might get...messy. (Or sticky? Too much? Yeah, ok.) But, why? What is it about Whisk that makes a dining experience there result in so many "happy endings?" Is it the crisp *homemade* potato chips with melted parmesan cheese served as an appetizer? Or maybe the scandalously addictive sweet scallion butter served with warm, freshly baked cornbread? Or perhaps it's the mouth-filling gorgonzola stuffed figs, lovingly wrapped in bacon and rolling with wild abandon in its greasy love blanket of fat? And who doesn't dig a love blanket of bacon fat?! If you're a vegetarian/vegan...."C'MON SON!" ( cmonsononline.com ) I bypassed the infamous Friday Blue Burger for some Spicy Steak action - 8 oz of perfectly cooked churrasco marinating in a coconut chili sauce with some delicately sweet jasmine rice and sauteed spinach. A word about the rice: Your (Puerto Rican/Cuban/Columbian/Honduran/Dominican/Japanese/ÂIndian) grandmother doesn't do it better. No one's does. I'm sorry (no, I'm not...), but it's true. Menus are printed everyday to feature a rotating list of spectacular dishes made with ingredients that are fresh and available that day. Gotta love that philosophy. Then, what's the deal with 4 stars versus the almighty 5? Although the actual restaurant space is quite nice - very warm, welcoming, and features a kickin' view of their open kitchen - the parking situation literally makes me want to take the eponymous "whisk" and beat the nearest meter maid vehicle (admittedly, I'm probably not gettin' very far with that). The lot at Whisk is infinitesimally small. And don't even THINK about parking in the Ace Hardware mall - I spotted a "hard at work" rent-a-cop patrolling the area with cell phone in hand, watching patrons leave their car, and calling the tow company if they didn't use one of the shops designated for that lot. You've been warned. But enough about THAT... get yourself to Whisk and order every frickin' thing on the menu. You can't go wrong. And pack a pair of those absorbant Underoos. You'll thank me after that first bite.

I'll pop the Yelp bukakke cherry on you for this joint. Knowing half the owners and the many ex-pats from Tarpon Bend, many of the kitchen staff were old friends. Still, wasn't expecting such a nice sit down atmosphere. More so a quick service place, simply figuring the congested South Miami streets location would negate any ample available parking for lots of tables. Instead, Whisk comes off as a (positive) condensed version of a Miracle Mile restaurant. Mahogany wood decor, "whisk" shaped hanging lights, high tops with community seating, creating a great communal atmosphere. The bar encompasses the entire main section, without taking over the surrounding seating area. Now onto the actual reason to come. Fried Green Tomatoes - Blackened Grouper Sandwich - Key Lime Pie. Every single one of those were the best versions I've ever had. And this is a guy who's seen his share of thirty pounds gained (now lost - fatty!) from all different kinds of key lime pie. Thrown in the bar has a great beer list - ordered a Triple Karmeliet, and if we still lived in Miami, this would be a bi-monthly visit. Let me go get you a towel for that bukakke.

Shrimp and Grits was outstanding! Can't wait to go back for more.

So I've heard so much about this place from all my fellow Yelpers and I was a little hesitant about going because I was afraid of being disappointed after all the hype. My dear friend Jacobo told us he was going last Friday and demanded that we went for the Friday specialty burgers, so we went. It was a bit hard to find parking, it was a little tight, so if you come, I would suggest you park on 72nd and walk on over. As I walked in, I saw a huge table of Yelpers so I swooped over to say hello. There was one seat left and Maria asked me to join them. I was waiting for Christian to park the car and for Jacobo and other friends to arrive, so I sat with them while I waited. Obviously we all weren't going to fit at the Yelp table, so I asked the server, Luana, if we could get a table nearby. Luana was so accommodating and checked with the hostess to see if we could get the table closest to where we were. Luana came back right away with menus to sit us at our table. Since all I kept hearing about the burgers, I decided to order one. The special of the day was the beef burger with Gorgonzola cheese, caramelized onions and bacon. I ordered a side salad with it as well vs. the chips. I was so hungry and when my food came out, it looked and smelled spectacular. The burger was huge, but I ate the hole thing. One word...YYYYYUUUUUUUMMMMMMM!!!!!!! It totally hit the spot. It was filling and needless to say, I didn't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day...except the Key Lime Pie I ordered. I did split it with someone else though. The key lime pie was perfectly tart and sweet. It is served with a few raspberries and whip cream. The raspberries were a nice taste to it as it kind of toned down the tartness a little. The restaurant itself is large and clean, plenty of tables. There is a bar and from what I heard they will be having full bar service soon. They will also be having more choices in the dessert menu, pies, cakes, cupcakes, etc. If you sit in anyone's section, ask for Luana. She provided the best customer service I have had in a very long time. Thank you Jacobo for hyping it up for us and telling us about the Burger Fridays. Thank you Whisk for such an awesome burger, and thanks Luana for being such a great server.
(5)Nicole S.
Really great food and a friendly staff! I've never had to wait for a seat. It's casual, but still has a nice feel to it. Only downside is limited parking and no outdoor seating. Still a great place for lunch or dinner!
(4)Kaleena S.
Burrito=amazing but delivery time=suck We did some delivery for the office one day and Whisk was the winner. After looking over the menu burrito was the way to go. When the order came almost an hour after the 45mins that they told us, food was lukewarm at best. My order came with Two huge pork burritos filled with rice and beans and yummyness. Since i guess mine was wrapped up it was still pretty warm, and the flavor was just great. I cant wait to actually go try them in person. I've heard only great things about Friday Specials :-)
(4)V. H.
Came here for dinner on a Saturday. We didn't have trouble with parking and we didn't have to wait too long before we got a table. Fried green tomatoes were tasty - although I have a sneaky suspicion anything with that homemade buttermilk sauce would be tasty. Their steak sandwich was cooked to perfection. I wish I had room to try dessert, but I'll definitely be back.
(5)Gus M.
Whoa, what happened, Whisk? I'm so torn. You moved to a new spot, and let me and my girlfriend down big time tonight. We'll start with the hostess who was kind of lost in space. She told us the wait would be something around 20 minutes, where it was more like 40-50 minutes. There were about three open tables, though... Anyway, someone decided that the restaurant should include reservations, which is a huge fail, in my opinion. I'm no professional restaurant manager, or anything, but doesn't it make sense to have a first come first served since you have an extremely small space? Also, IF you're gonna have reservations, don't put together two four-person tables for eight people (like they did tonight), seat them in the 'first come, first serve' high-tops that you're offering me! Well, on to the other errors of the evening. We're finally seated and it takes a few minutes to get our water and order taken. Only two servers and a busboy seem to be working. Also, no complimentary house chips, bread, or anything? I never expected it at the previous location, because it was mostly a lunch spot, but now this is a full fledged restaurant, charging pretty ridiculous prices for their dishes, and there is no complimentary anything. Our appetizers were the only reason this place doesn't get one star. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and delicious, and the sauce served with them is out of this world. The tomato bisque soup was also very tasty. I then ordered the Cumin Dusted Grilled Chicken, which includes Jasmine Rice, Black Beans, Sliced Avocado, Pico de Gallo & Herb Salad ($13.95). I kindly ask that the black beans be on the side. Well, that didn't happen. Right over my rice, and a ton of it, might I add. I sat there waiting for my server, but he seemed to be too busy discussing wines or something at another table for a long time. No one else ever came by, so I just ate the chicken, which was more like Cumin Pasted than 'Dusted'. The overwhelming amount of cumin was insane (not in a good way). The avocado and salad were pretty good (they also forgot the supposed Pico de Gallo). Finally the server came and saw the beans on the plate. He apologized, but didn't ask if I wanted rice or something else on the house. He did come over with a non- fudge brownie (called a blondie), which was pretty good. He apologized and said the brownie was on him. The "dessert" was a bit stale and whoever was baking it left a chunk of wax paper stuck on the bottom, which was difficult to remove. Still, I was left with no rice or potatoes to eat my food with. That is fail #3 in my book. We got to the place at 6 and ended up leaving around 8:30. Two and a half hours wasted on one of my worst restaurant experiences of all time (of all time). I've never been to a place that I used to love which completely turned me off from any future visits. I might give it one more chance, but that'll only be during lunch, if the parking lot is empty, which is another ridiculous thing. If you're looking to move to a bigger place, and parking used to be an issue at your previous location, search for a place with BETTER PARKING. Alright, I'm done. Worst $40+ dinner ever.
(2)Ginger C.
Excellent food! Parking was a bit challenging but worth having a little patience. Juevos rancheros was the best ever. Vegetable quiche was very tasty and the salad with arugula, shaved Parmesan, roasted corn with polenta fritters was amazing. Only wish we had one in Boca.
(5)david d.
For a hipstery new american place, Whisk has pretty good food for not too much money, though the consensus was our appetizers (bacon-wrapped cheese, cornbread, fried green tomatoes with buttermilk sauce) were better than the entrées. I got the spicy seared beef, which was perfectly cooked, but the sandwiches ordered by others in my group were merely average. Good wine list too. The atmosphere was too self-consciously rustic to take seriously, with water served in glass jars and other things looking like they were purchased at a Cracker Barrel Country Store. Also pretty crowded for a weeknight. Parking was a pain as well, and we ended up with a big ol' "Violation" sticker for parking at a strip mall down the street (though no ticket, so joke's on them.)
(4)Elias G.
Wow, I can't believe I haven't reviewed Whisk! I've been to Whisk twice; once at the original location and once at the new location. What stopped us from going to Whisk more often was the original location and the lack of weekend hours. The new location offers better parking and now they're open on weekends! I'm a huge fan of big gourmet burgers, and Whisk has me sold with their Friday burger specials. Luckily, both times I've had lunch there they had a burger special that was right up my alley. My wife is a huge fan of their chicken salad sandwich. My mom likes the fish sandwich, which is pretty good, too. Next time I go, if it's not Friday, or it's not a burger I'm feeling, the roast beef sandwich sounds pretty awesome. The only downside is that even though the new location has good parking, they're always packed (good for Whisk!) and you sometimes have to circle-around a few times or park a block away. South Miami's very small, and I don't mind walking, so it's no big deal; it happens when going to almost any other restaurant in SoMi anyway. I look forward to reading each week's burger special every Friday and can't wait to go back.
(5)Elle K.
Whisk is a great place for a weeknight dinner when you do not feel like cooking. The staff is very nice and the communal tables make for great conversation and fun meal. I recommend the fried green tomato sandwich with a side of spinach and mushrooms or the roasted potatoes. Try the key lime pie and be prepared to share.
(3)Brenda B.
I placed an order for pick up (lunch) and although the food was yummy both times - I had the pork burritos the first time and the Low Country Shrimp and Grits the 2nd time - the service was not very good. I was not greeted when I walked through the door and stood around for about 5 minutes before I could get someone's attention to ask where I could pick up my food. Both times they did not include utensils or napkins in my to-go order and the 2nd time they messed up my order and forgot to include dessert I ordered. Not sure what the service is like when you dine in but I wasnt impressed with my experience so far.
(3)Lourdes D.
I came to Whisk tonight with the BF, and it was a HOT MESS. For some reason they take reservations now, which is very odd for a restaurant of their size. Sure, they're in a new space that isn't the size of a cubicle, but the restaurant isn't big enough to keep people waiting and three precious tables empty. So, after being told the wait would be 20 minutes (which was a lie) we stood around awkwardly until we finally got seated. They took our order pretty quickly and 5 minutes later I'm informed that they've run out of mashed potatoes, and that they would be replaced with roasted potatoes. Don't know how you can run out of mashed potatoes, nor do I know why I wasn't told when I first ordered (I LOVE mashed potatoes and it was a selling point for the dish I ordered). The BF ordered a dish that came with rice and beans. He asked that the beans come on the side. They didn't. Also, our main dishes took FOREVER to come out. The service wasn't great. There were only two waiters for the entire place and although our guy was nice, it just was too little too late. He did bring us a blondie to make up for the rice and bean scenario, but even that had paper stuck to it. They just were all over the place tonight. The parking still sucks. People still block cars in for some reason too. Must be a Whisk thing. Only reason this is a two star is because their fried green tomatoes continue to rock my world. Their tomato bisque was also pretty tasty. Maybe they were having an off night, but they need to get it together.
(2)Marquis M.
Every time we have a visitor or a special occassion we come here, not because it's particularly fancy or trendy but because the food is so good. It is a trendy atmosphere but the food is just the best in the area. Every meal we have ever ordered has been absolutely delicious. My favorite is the grilled veggie sandwich and the herb salad. Of course, my boyfriend loves the mahi sandwich. My parents loved the entrees, and everyone loves the fried green tomatoes and potato chips. The oreo cupcake was like crack.... It's a MUST.
(5)Christine S.
You'll always get a great meal at Whisk - from the appetizer's -bacon wrapped dates-to the fried chicken salad, unique sandwiches... to the amazing entries....always busy....always friendly...a great local place...go early to plan for parking and closed on Sundays. You wont' be disappointed!
(4)Oscar M.
Definitely a great place. Parking is extremely limited, so keep that in mind. I live in the area so next time I will definitely walk over instead. But besides that, the atmosphere is very casual and the food is delicious (the WHISK Burrito is a definite favorite). Staff is also great and attentive. If you're a SoMi resident, this should definitely be a place to check out.
(4)Juddy V.
Great place. I went here after a movie with my parents we all had sandwiches and chips and they were very good. Or waitress (Alexandria?) had a great personality and mad a really good experience GREAT! I can't wait to go back again.
(5)Ikira D.
About to try the fantabulous black and blue burger for the first time! I tried it and I LOVED IT! I'm picky with burgers because my dad makes the best burgers in all of MIA.... he's been de-throned. The black and blue has a wonderful balance of sweet and savory. The beef was cooked perfectly... medium rare is my preference. The Gorgonzola, bacon and sweet onion jam crowned the burger perfectly in balance and harmony on a wonderful brioche bun. They only have them on Friday's... and this was an incredible meal to say goodbye to 2010 with. You can order chips or salad with your burger.... I decided to go all out with the chips and I was glad I did. They were also phenomenal! Freshly made, thin and with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. They even had a sweetness to them that was complimented by the cheese. Everyone cleaned their plates and enjoyed wonderful desserts... Most of us ordered and absolutely LOVED the key lime pie... I will be a returning customer!
(5)Pat M.
Insane! Insanely good I tells ya'! This place might just have the best food in Miami. No joke. We started off with an order of hummus and chips. It was so good I'm convinced they flew it in from the middle east or they have a dedicated bedouin in the back cranking it out. As a purist I insist Po'boys should only be served on hoagie rolls and not kaiser rolls, but the shrimp in mine were so good I forgot about all that. The wife had a salad that had her rolling her eyes (I haven't been able to get her to do that in years!). Went back for Valentine's, but this time at their new location in Sunset Place. Got a communal table next to the open kitchen, which proved to be the best table in the house. Started off with the house potato chips, which truth be told, were unimpressive. However, the aged cheddar and parmesan pimento cheese spread made me forget about all that. The Spicy Seared Beef with garlic chili coconut sauce was ridiculously good, and I appreciate a dish prepared with so much care. The kitchen show was worth the price of admission. The energy and sights only added to the great experience. Food this good (and photogenic) isn't easily found in Miami. This is the kind of joint I'd expect to find somewhere in SF's Fisherman's Wharf. And I can tell you the last time I was there I wish I had found something like this. Looking through the pics that've been posted here is like looking thru Gourmet magazine's greatest hits. My only criticism would be the ludicrous parking situation. I need to get back there for Burger Friday. I'll be sure to bring a change of underwear.
(5)Javier M.
Amazing flavors all the way from the fried green tomatoes to the Irish car bomb cake. A must visit small hip place.
(5)Eddy A.
Whisk is in a new place. They're open later hours and they're open on the weekends. HUZZAH! the new digs are minimalistic with a touch of that Californian wine valley vibe. The food is excellent as always and if you're lucky you just might get a table right in front of the chef himself. Even have a quick chat with him! Reservations are limited to large parties right now, and parking is still a drag but its way loads better than before. Come here for kunch or dinner, but be sure to come on fridays for the whisk burger special. Undoubtedly THE best burger in miami!
(5)Juan N.
Great restaurant that routinely has a variety of specials and different types of dishes, however it still maintains some southern inspired dishes throughout the menu. Everything is delicious. The Carolina BBQ sauce on the cornbread and pulled pork is great, as is the entire dish. I usually get the burrito which is also really good. Excellent service and friendly servers. The restaurant's popularity is bigger than the size of the actual restaurant so it can be difficult to get a table at times. If you have trouble finding a table you can just do take out, which is a very popular option at the restaurant. One of the things I like about Whisk is that they update their menu daily so that you can see the specials online. The other thing I like is how they constantly are adding new items to the menu.
(4)Gregory N.
Whisk is a near perfect example of the type of neighborhood restaurant that one could become a regular and also be proud to show off to out of town guests. The food is somewhat creative, Charleston low country influence. The decor is not over designed or pretentious, but simple and tasteful. The service is unfailing. I had the fried chicken breast, pretty good. Smashed potatoes, not too bad. And kale as the sauteed vegetable, well I would've liked almost any other vegetable, okra, green beans, lima beans, spinach, anthing else. Parking is a bit difficult for some reason, lots of cars parked on the street and in the lot, but virtually nothing else around is open. Mysterious. This place is highly recommended for couples, groups or eating alone at the bar.

Whisk is one of the few places in Miami that offers what I like to call "clean cuisine". Everything tastes fresh, and doesn't boast the boring overdone tastes and flavors of the disgusting chain restaurants Miami is used to. Because of the chain restaurants Miami seems to cater to, my husband and I have had a hard time finding somewhere that is unique, different, and consistently delicious. We come here at least twice a month and have yet to ever have a bad experience. Each time the waiters are more and more knowledgeable of the menu, and always enthusiastic about the daily offerings of the chef. As for other negative reviews, every restaurant is allowed a bad day. It happens. To expect absolute perfection catered to every person's specific set of standards is unrealistic. Most people we've found in Miami are extremely picky, then settle for uninspired and unoriginal options such as fettuccini alfredo. For these people, anything different isn't welcomed warmly. Hopefully Whisk forges ahead in helping to set the standard for a change of scenery in Miami's restaurants.

Have come here a few times but i have to rave about today's specials. Arugula and fennel salad was healthy deliciousness and had a little kick to it with the poppy vinaigrette. The Peruvian ceciche was soooo fresh I loved it!!!! Came w a side of fresh plantain chips - beats the bag ones! The shrimp po boy sandwich was SO good you gotta try it! I also hear they're moving to a new location - hope it's bigger!

If you're looking for delicious and fresh takes on classic salads and sandwiches, this is the place to go. I had always heard about the yummy goodness that is Whisk when it was at its old location, but (if I'm being honest), I never felt like braving the crowds required for lunch. But now, Whisk is bigger, brighter, and even better tasting (what I've heard from others - as I said, I've only ever eaten at the new location). It's a trendy, modern atmosphere while simultaneously retaining a cozy, homey feeling. The openness makes for an enjoyable atmosphere, even during the busiest of times. I love sitting at the long tables - they're right next to the kitchen, so you can peek in at the operation, but the communal aspect lets me reminisce back to elementary school. My favorite item on the menu is the Charleston Chicken Salad sandwich. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a refreshing (yet surprisingly filling) lunch option, while still minimizing the budget but maximizing the flavor!

Whisk has long been the place to wish you could visit for a meal. Their old location had no parking and limited space, but developed a fanatical following nonetheless (my sister has been raving about if forever, as have a number of friends). The eatery has just opened in a new location in South Miami that should satisfy some of the critics of the limits of the old. Their public opening happened on Thursday. By 3pm, they had hit almost 200 covers; the staff seemed to have reached that strange state of elation and exhaustion that comes from unexpected, overwhelming success. My group visited on Friday for a lunch to celebrate my son's recent engagement, with very pleasant results. The restaurant offers both traditional tables, and two long "communal" tables butting up to the open kitchen. Each table seats 12, and offers those closest a view of the controlled chaos of a working kitchen. These tables are tall (like gathering tables) so diners are elevated above the rest of the room. Our party of 6.5 people (one person didn't show), we sat in a small semiprivate room off to the side. It afforded some intimacy without feeling as if you were walled off from the activity of the main room. The staff was gracious and attentive. The menus are printed daily, with a changing set of specials. Friday, as we discovered is burger day; no one ordered that dish, but we could see several coming out of the kitchen for other diners; as a burger fan, I will be back in the near future to see if the flavor lives up to the presentation. We ordered several appetizers: the hummus is freshly made, and topped with a salsa-like dollop of fresh tomatoes and herbs. The flavor was deep and rich, and nicely framed by the dressing. The chips were also thin and crisp, and framed, rather than overwhelmed, the hummus. The star, though, were the fried green tomatoes. The flavor was great - the batter that coated and the delicate flavor of the tomatoes complimented each other quite nicely. This dish is accompanied by a Herb Buttermilk dressing that was just a tiny bit thin for dipping ,but that did work well with the tomatoes. My only complaint is that the batter felt a bit thick, and as the tomatoes cooled, gained a slight oily taste. The table ordered a variety of sandwiches and salads; there were no complaints (and little talking when the food arrived), with dishes cleaned by all. My dish was a skirt steak salad. I expected a salad with the steak strips cut into the salad, but Whisk plates this with the steak nicely sliced and layered on the side, with the salad nicely arranged in a tower beside. This worked out well, as I didn't have to battle the lettuce for a bite of succulent beef. The salad came with macerated grape tomatoes that were just delicious (macerating differs from marinating in that the object - tomatoes in this case - are soaked in a sweet liquid rather than an acidic one). The only negative was the noise level. The space is not large, with concrete floors and no real sound-absorbing material. When we arrived there were only a few diners, but by the time we were done, the restaurant was packed and it was hard to hear. Hopefully some wall hangings or ceiling panels will make their way into the space to tone down the volume. Overall, we enjoyed the experience, and - given that my office is right across the street - will become regulars (especially on burger Fridays!). Now, a note about parking.... for Whisk, the location allows them to expand their seating to accommodate their fans. Limited parking is available in front of the restaurant (about 12 spaces). There is some parking along the East side of 56th Avenue, and almost unlimited parking available two blocks to the West, in the parking garage adjacent to Town, the public lot one block west, as well as in Sunset Place and in the South Miami Municipal Garage. There are also spaces along Sunset, East of Red as well as on Red Road itself. I suspect you could even take advantage of the valet parking at the intersection of 56th and Sunset. The problem is getting from the off-site parking spaces to Whisk. I am not sure why the City of South Miami hasn't made this area more pedestrian friendly, or why the merchants don't raise a stink about the lack of sidewalks or public passages. If you park West of Red, the best way to get to the Restaurant is by walking on 74th St by the Chevron station, then North on 56th to Whisk. And hey - after a great meal, a little exercise is a good thing!

Whisk is that restaurant you can take ownership of and call it your spot. The food is amazing and the staff is excellent. I've been using Whisk as a way to show my staff that I appreciate them... For young college kids, they work really hard and are extremely responsible. So, I started treating them to lunch there because the food is soooo yummy and they appreciate it soooooo much... Now they all look forward to going. I especially love taking them on BURGER FRIDAYS!!! Bottomline: Delicious Food + Pleasing Aesthetics + Friendly Staff = An Amazing Experience =) My Tip: Get a side of cranberry mayo for your chips. YUMS!
(5)Emily P.
Possibly my favorite restaurant in Miami. I was a little sad that they moved, but only because it is a farther drive now, but I will take a longer drive over their much improved hours of operation. My two favorites are the turkey with cranberry mayo and brie sandwich and the skirt steak sandwich with blue cheese and onion compote. The potato chips with parmesan are also yummy tho I preferred when they used the smaller potatoes to make them. Every time I go I am always tempted by something on the menu, one of these days I really want to try that fried chicken salad, but I tend to order what I already know and love. Luckily with the new hours I can have many more opportunities to try something new. The parking does still suck tho despite the extra spots :(
(5)Jaclyn F.
This place was amazing! Everything on the yelp reviews I read was true. The Fried green tomatoes were great and I hate the fried chicken salad for dinner which was good too. Everything was reasonably priced and the portions were good. We were very impressed by our service. Needless to say, we will be coming back.
(4)Cristy M.
WoW!! Awesome. Period.
(5)Joaquin R.
Very disappointed. The food was mediocre at best. Also, I wasnt too pleased with them charging $1.00-$3.00 extra if you are splitting a sandwich or an entree. Customers service was okay and the decor was nice. Parking is terrible.
(2)Michael B.
Well, it's everything I thought it could be and hoped it would be!! After knowing of their existence for about a year now and hearing all the hype for months and months, I finally made it out to Whisk last night and it was just scrumptious!! We started with my favorite appetizer in the world...bacon wrapped dates...and let me just tell you...they are nothing short of divine. I had the Spicy Seared Beef Churrasco. I'm not even a huge fan on churassco and it was amazingly delicious and came in a coconut chili sauce...holy shit! I tried what else was ordered at my table...the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad and the Pork Burrito. They were both fresh, full of flavor and perfect. The chicken was some of the freshest and best fried chicken I have ever had and the burrito was perfectly flavorful. The prices here are quite reasonable, especially the sandwiches that are mostly in the $8.95 range. The service was attentive and friendly and the experience was overwhelmingly great. If haven't been yet, you must add this to your short list if places to try.
(5)Michael R.
Hands down, the best food for your buck in South Miami. The pulled pork burritos and fried green tomatoes are CRAZY GOOD!!! The reason for a missing star ... the parking is HORRIBLE!
(4)Ryan M.
I had the burritos and they was good. It didn't blow my skirt up but I would certainly go back and be open to adjust my rating upon trying other things.The pulled pork could have been more tender/juicy. Whisk makes an attempt at being a good new southern cuisine restaurant but falls short in my opinion. The menu was a little all over the place, and I think if they concentrated on fewer items, they would be able to make those items better. The beer list was also very limited, and needs to be expanded.
(3)Larry B.
For starters, WHISK is a little hole in the wall. It seats approximately 70 patrons but beware: This little place is packed with flavor! From the outside you do not think much of it but once you set foot inside you are just amazed! The light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are whisks!! LOL. The decor is very homey and country-ish with a hint of modern.. all intertwined. TIP: GET THERE EARLY BECAUSE IT GETS FULL VERY QUICK. Today was my first time at Whisk and I had the Blackened Grouper Sandwich and oh my! It was delish!!! Wait... no! IT WAS DELISH!!! There! It was extremely flavorful. I took my firs bite and... I WAS HOOKED. I kept on biting it and the more I bit into it the more flavor I savored. It was juicy, spicy, and... oh well you get the picture! :) I also tried the Fried Green Tomatoes..... SUPERB! I will definitely be going back. I want to try everything there is on the menu. If you have never been to Whisk... GET IT MOVING! You will NOT regret it.

Whisk has its own particular charm. I went there for the first time about 9 months ago, and while I definitely enjoyed it, I wasn't head over heels. I'd been meaning to go back, but I rarely do lunch during the week, so it wasn't until today that I was able to return, with my mom in tow (I knew she'd love it!). This place is tiny - as everyone is aware. They've moving soon, however, to South Miami, to a 75 seat restaurant. Should make a world of difference. The small factor is ok, it's just that parking is extremely limited as is seating. But like I said - it has a particular charm, part of which is due to its teeny tiny size. Today I had a blackened tripletail sandwich with herb salad, and the mom had the grilled tuna. My sandwich was very tasty, and the bread was warm and definitely some of the best I've ever tasted. Nice little salad too. Mom definitely dug her sandwich as well. Presentation can't be beat, too - very picturesque. All in all, a very sweet little place. Not necessarily the best sandwich I've ever had, as I've heard many people say, but tasty nonetheless, and I'll return for sure. I think my favorite part might be the mason jar glasses - toooo adorable!
(4)Jenna M.
I've been wondering what all the rave was about so I had to go when I realized they moved to South Miami. Lunch was delicious. The place has a really clean feel and was super busy. I had a hummus and avocado sandwich that was perfect. They did not skimp on the avocado. And an update for Maria's last review: they now have beer and wine ready to serve.
(5)Claudia A.
Comfortable little place with great beer and food. The menu items sound simple, but they are far from in flavor. The fried green tomatoes are a must, and the burrito is one of my favorites. There can be a wait sometimes, and the bar is small. The table service staff is knowledgeable and pleasant, but it can be hit or miss in terms of timing.
(4)Jordan N.
Locals sometime have the yearning to get away from Miami. The Latin-throbbing, car-clogging, heat-stifling, line-backing, rule-breaking Miami.... Yes, there's a time when I just want to go someplace small and feel like I'm in another world with no counter-competition with number-toting customers waiting for their turn. Heck, I just wanted to go someplace where I could just sit and a friendly waitress with a dirty apron would come up to me and ask what I would like, with no-one clamoring for her attention. That's what you get here in the three-tables catering company serving good organic and healthy food for surprisingly reasonable prices by the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables. You won't get any of that shock as you would if you had dined elsewhere in this part of Miami, especially for the yummy food you can get here. The waitress made good recommendations, and I've tried two of the three and although parts of the menu really changes daily, the two items were the spicy Chipotle BBQ Burger & Dry Marinated Skirt Steak. The key lime pie dessert was just right in my book - not too sweet, but creamy with a nice subtle flavor. The side that was shared as an appetizer was the homemade potato chips - which I must say was fluffy and tasty. The only thing I didn't really enjoy was the noise the wicker chairs make - but it does help make for a homey atmosphere. That being said... Thanks for making me feel at home.

So I'm here ... Trying to enjoy a dinner with my friends on my night off ..so we came to whisk in south Miami ... ( wa wa ) so my first impression I get to the table to find " bacon wrapped dates "? That, just like all the food here ... Falls apart and under cooked ... My server was too busy flirting with hostess who obviously was actually doing her job ... While our water stayed empty ... No beverage was offered replaced ... Then my food was never rang in because like a happy puppy dog I chose the beer he recommended ... And he never rang it in the food with it ...After 30 minutes ... He must of rang it up on the fly ... my BBQ chicken n corn bread 40 minutes now comes out cold ... No manager ever came by the table ... And a what seemed to be the chef ... Ran through the floor ... This place was a huge disappointment ... Coming from an industry guy too ... Sad to say but ... I'll never come back . ... P.s bread pudding sucks too... Plus after everything he effs up my credit card payment ... This guy might as well be a south Miami meter maid it suits him...
(1)Angie-Maria J.
So I'm forver in love (insert hearts here) my hidden gem. This is such a cool and healthy place to eat. It's also vegetarian friendly which is why I'm so excited. I struggle finding places that claim they're vegetarian friendly but only offer, HOUSE SALADS -_- I had the hummus and avocado sandwich on multigrain bread with homemade chips sans the shredded cheese. I then washed it down with homemade lemonade & a brownie- shhh! Next time I'll try the mahi sandwich (yes, I eat fish). I don't why this place reminds me of Key West, it has that old comfy southern feeling. It's a 'lil messy during peak time but still clean. Don't attempt to walk in here with a party of 5 and expect to be seated right away lol! I always see big groups standing outside waiting while I walk pass them and park myself right @ the bar :p I would give WHISK 5 stars, but the parking situation is just rude.
(4)Leo C.
Friday Burger!!
(5)Chris D.
I have to say, this place has its charm. Though, it's quite small, the wait may be long, the food is well worth the wait. The ambiance is warm, waiters and hostesses are nice. I recommend eating at this place!
(4)Camilo R.
Very good. The only problem they are closed on sundays :(
(4)Maria T.
I'd give this place 5 stars but it's way too small and cramped to be 100% satisfied. WIth that said, the food is FIVE STARS. I'm utterly obsessed with their fried green tomato sandwich loaded with bacon and mayo. During my pregnancy, I ate it on a weekly basis (thus the 35 pound weight gain) and now that I am no longer pregnant, I get the greid green tomato salad with buttermilk dressing, which is delish. The cookies here are homemade and not to be missed. And for all you Misha's Cupcakes fans, Whisk serves them up. I hear they are moving...thank goodness! With such a huge foodie fan base, Whisk is in dire need of bigger digs.

the cravings i get for "Burger Fridays" at whisk can only be equaled to those cravings a pregnant woman gets during the third trimester...or so I figure...actually, in the case of "burger fridays" i am more like a crack addict who cant get the fix as often as he wants. A couple of weeks ago I found myself wishing that the unveiling of whisk 2 would put an end to the silly Friday restrictions; are they looking out for my cholesterol? are these special cows that can only be sacrificed on Fridays? Whats the deal? The best thing you make and its available once a week? Is it a restaurant psycho trick: "give it to them once a week, and they will come". the deal is that I get the burger itch about once a week, and it does not necessarily fall on fridays, so I end up settling for a much less satisfying burger. Anyways, the new whisk has much better seating, look, and parking; the food is just as good as before, did I say they have parking, they also have a bar, with a friendly bartender. Now if only they found cows they could sacrifice on a daily basis!!
(5)Christina C.
Honestly, no offense, but I thought this place would be a little better. Granted, we went when it had only been open for just a few weeks, but still. No liquor/wine/beer license, slow wait staff, and slow service in general. I ordered the Fresh Grilled Tuna Salad, which I must admit was very good. I suspect it may have had an excess of mayonnaise in it, which is probably what made it good. But regardless, good. Friends and I ordered the hummus as an appetizer, but had to ask for more chips as there was tons more hummus than there were chips. For dessert, we had key lime pie and a white brownie, but they came like 20 minutes apart! First the brownie, then the key lime pie forever later, ridiculous! The waiter was OK, but screwed up the check and didn't seem to have his business together. We had to ask for cokes and refills more than once, which is in my book unacceptable. Room for improvement is my review.
(3)Megan D.
Solid 4 stars. Considering their floors are sealed cement, I almost busted my ass because it was so slippery...parking was kinda a hassle, so I wasn't too optimistic, BUT the reviews were stating otherwise. We walk in, and I'm instantly in love with the decor. So cute. We're seated promptly and given menus - I wasn't really feeling it, but then we ordered. We had the cheddat & parmesan pimento cheese & the cornbread to start. Omg. Already off to a great start. The cheese was so rich, and the toast it came with was a perfect match. Cornbread? Pretty dense, but so good. The richness of the cheese (something we don't normally eat anyway) was a bit much to have a second appetizer with it. Had we known it would've been so good and filling, we wouldn't have ordered the cornbread. Either way, yummy. The boyfriend ordered a BLT with avocado, and I had the grilled veggie sandwich. Judging by the fact that the menu has the words "Splitting fee: $1.00" almost everywhere I looked, I figured that the servings were huge. They were. (currently eating the other half of my sandwich for lunch...) Service was quick, attentive, and knowledgeable. I ended up loving it and found things I wanna try for next time we go! If I weren't a pescetarian, I would have been alllll over those gorgonzola stuffed, bacon wrapped dates. They looked amazing going by...omg. Excellent work, Whisk. *Only other downside? It was a little too loud for our taste... :/
(4)Sebastian E.
New location same great food...and more: dinner! Congratulations to the new location opened just in time for the end of year holiday season and a fresh start into the New Year. I much like the community high top tables and the open kitchen. Whisk now can finally sit and host all of the people that have discovered them over the years and encourages slow food and conversation. The décor is held clean and functional, staff is very attentive and as already noted, the food is great. I will have to go back for diner sometime soon, in the meantime I can still recommend my favorite: Lechon Burritos! My one drawback is that the place gets pretty loud when full (full being a good, no great thing) but I know that will be tackled with some artwork soon ;)
(5)Liz T.
Drove past this spot two times, super hard to see the sign and we went for lunch so it was bright outside too! They had pretty good food, nice and fresh. Had the burger, bacon wrapped dates (delish), and bf had the turkey sand, other friend had the burger. The Whisk is actually a cater company, so the 'restaurant' is quite small and there is limited seating and parking...but it's nice to go here for lunch and for those that want to order their catered food; you can taste a variety of what the chef has to offer. This place is similar to many restaurants in LA very cute cafe-like, with fresh healthy options.
(4)Edenia F.
I don't know if it was the incredible fried green tomatoes, or the shrimp n grits, or the delightful tiramisu, or the company but whatever it was it's a must must must return!!!! Wooooowwww beautiful little place in south Miami with one of a kind gourmet southern food. I loved that the kitchen its open so you can smell the food being cooked yuummmm. I was so intoxicated with the wonderful aromas coming out of the kitchen that by the time the food got there I would have eaten the entire menu. I also liked the pub style tables , different but cute. If you go for lunch during weekdays get there before 12 noon or you'll wait for ever. I had to take away one star becaaaauuuassee..... Told the hostess : table for 2 and..... she wouldn't sit us because my friend was still parking . So I said: " my friend is parking she is right outside " , and she said : noooo we have to wait for the full party to be here. Ooookkk there was like 50 tables available and only like 4 or 5 costumers in there, I mean I would understand if the place was jumping with costumers and they needed to sit people right away. But seriously that was a little tooooo much, I mean there were maybe 4 occupied tables. Back to the food : heeeeaaaaavvvvveeeeennnn . Fresh , tasty, perfect amount of seasoning on my steak,really good portions, and dessert (sigh)oh man oh man probably the best tiramisu I have ever had. Service was great, our waiter (who's name I forgot) was very helpful. I can't wait to come back. Make sure you try the shrimp and grits.
(4)Emily V.
Whisk, where have you been all my life?? After hearing everyone rave about Whisk, Zac and I decided to try the infamous burgers one Friday evening. We barely found parking in the small plaza where Whisk is situated. Whisk was full of people. Luckily we were able to find a table to sit in. We went all out at Whisk, trying an appetizer of hummus. DELISH!!! Then came the burger and chips, a medium-rare cheddar and ranch mouthwatering piece of heaven!! The chips had Parmesan cheese bits on them. For dessert, we ordered a brownie which was good. The service was spectacular and fast. This is what other restaurants should model their service after. I also loved the quaint look of the place, making the customer feel as they are enjoying their meal in the comfort of their own home. This is hands-down the best burger I have ever had!
(5)Stephanie L.
I think the food here is phenomenal. I only gave it 4 stars because it can be hit or miss. Some of the dishes are really really impressive, like the Fried Green Tomato Burger, but others are kind of bleh. I had a spicy coconut steak with spinach and rice. The taste was great. In the end though I felt like the sauce was way too heavy and didn't feel so good after. I've heard from a few people that what they ordered was amazing, and most of what I've tried has been. But like I said, it can be hit or miss and it's hard to order a $12 sandwich you don't like. It's also SUPER tiny and crowded. On one hand it adds to the charm of this place -- you feel like you are in someone's house and that's great with the comfort food they have to offer. Also there are communal tables where you sit with strangers, which I think is kind of cool. However, you are scrunched in there because there isn't enough space for everyone and I was really uncomfortable. I recommend everyone to try it out and see how you feel about it. Especially for burger fridays!
(4)Lis M.
I'm still dreaming about their fried green tomatoes. I went on Burger Friday with some friends and we had: -Fried Green Tomato burger with those crispy little chips: One of the BEST burgers I've EVER had. -Tuna Sandwich: Extremely fresh, my friend kept telling me how it was one of the best she's ever had. -Pulled Pork Burrito: It was an explosion of flavors in my mouth, my friend had to pull it away after I tried a bite. The portions were large (everyone had to take some home and we were too full for the delicious looking dessert .) The service is extremely friendly and for what you get this place is super cheap. Two small things that bother me are 1. there is usually a wait because the seating area is really really small (and a bit cramped) but it's really not a big deal...I did see a lot of people picking up takeout, seems like the thing to do if you're in a bit of a rush AND 2. It's not opened on the weekends :/ Overall though, this is some of the BEST food you're going to get in this city.

So, I am admittedly a long-time fan of Whisk... but this is sadly my first review of one of my all-time fav places in Miami. Along with the rest of Miami, I was thrilled to visit their new space for the first time... and its truly better than ever. The new space has a mixed look of urban chic and country sensibility, and Whisk successfully maintained it's casual/laid-back vibe. No need to dress up, and I love that... mostly because you get to have some of the best food in Miami while still dressing comfortably - what's not to love about that?! The only minor negative is the lack of parking (you may have to park a few blocks away and walk), but I can deal with burning a few calories before/after my meal. On my last visit to Whisk I had THE MOST AMAZING SOUP EVER! It was one of their fresh daily specials... a broth based squash soup with chunks of crusty bread. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was honestly the best soup I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavorful... just like the rest of their menu items. Some of my usual picks include their turkey/cranberry salad (its like thanksgiving in a salad, but better cause it has goat cheese... so good), the most fluffy fried rice with steak, and their pork burritos. But honestly, you can't go wrong... everything is delish at this place.
(5)Jane D.
So worth the wait even if you get there late. But if you wanna dine without the wait in line - get there before Noon! Parking is tight - so save the aggravation and park in the meters across the street. Try the Breseola (sp?) Cigar App with Goat Cheese and Honey. The Fried Green Tomato Sandwich (BLT) is phenomenal. Always check the Specials Board - lots of delightful little gems to try.
(5)alejandra g.
Went here for lunch on a Friday. It's a small cute place. I don't mind the wait because it's not a typical Miami place. I shared the fried green tomatoes (amazing!). Even my boyfriend loved it and he is not a big fan of tomatoes. Has the burger which is big enough to share with chips. Nothing out of tis world, but it was very tasty. I will definately come here again.
(4)Christina A.
Dear Whisk: I heart you. I heart you even more now that you are in a bigger space and open late! Your Friday burgers are now accessible to me without me having to skip out of work, YAY! I also adore your amazing Fried Green Tomato sandwich and Key Lime Pie...mmmmm. I don't care that I have to deal with the insanity of South Miami parking or wait for a table. You're worth it. Love, Me
(4)Manuel G.
I had lunch here recently with my friends who always go there when visiting from Los Angeles where they live,and was very pleasantly surprised at how good the lunch menu & service was, I had the pork burritos & could only eat half as it was of such propensity!,their Soup was also excellent. IMO great place for lunch in South Miami. Prices are reasonable , one quirk ,parking can be a mission.
(4)L M.
The food = OUTSTANDING. The parking & atmosphere= UGHHH! Started with the pimento cheese appetizer- delicious. Had the turkey, avocado, tomato sandwich and it was so good. Fresh turkey, lots of avocado, toasty seedy bread, and those good non-grocery store tomatoes. Deelish. My mom had the tuna salad and they kindly changed it to a perfectly grilled tuna steak atop a mixed green salad. She loved it. From the looks of it just about every other person (Friday at lunchtime) had the burger and it was huge! Why do I knock it down a star? The parking is a NIGHTMARE. Seriously give yourself an extra 20 minutes to try and stalk down a meter space few blocks away. Awful. Also, we were seated at one of the long tables in the back of the restaurant after waiting 15 minutes (like everyone else who walked in). These two women decided they don't feel like waiting and barged in and sat in the two seats in between us and another couple- the host looked mortified but was too afraid to say anything so they just served them there. So rude! I wish she would have said something because as soon as the women sat down they started talking so loudly and I couldn't even carry on a conversation with my partner sitting across from me. I'll definitely be back, just better prepared with a parking strategy! And hopefully minus the rude women who think they are too good to wait their turn for a table like everyone else.
(4)Mike A.
Food is great must TRY.. Restaurant is awesome am in the business and can tell that they spent money on it.. Great Atmosphere, nice vibe very cozy the reason I gave them 4stars cause the service was fine just plain service! I wasn't embraced!! They had no espresso, cappuccino or coffee con letche! there tea was local but not good!! Over all is good I will come back and recommend friends to check it out... They need to be More detail oriented.. I hope they keep it up and improve cause they have what it takes to be the best..
(4)Steve S.
Shrimp & Grits needed to be spicer. It was much too bland. Brussels sprouts were amazing as well as the dates stuffed with Gorgonzola wrapped in bacon. We had a takeout that was ready when promised. Our first visit. one in group had a blt with fried green tomatoes that he loved
(3)Alina R.
Up one star from my last review. After a few visits here, I'm happy to give them a star increase because the food is consistently fresh and delicious. This time I ordered their buttermilk fried chicken salad. Fried chicken breast strips over spinach, cremini mushrooms, red onion and sliced avocado with a delicious home made honey mustard dressing. I've been craving that salad for over a week now since I had it. Their fingerling potato chips are awesome and so is their fresh lemonade. I have to get back here soon!!

After all the hype that Whisk has received I visited for lunch with a friend. I had been to their previous location and vouch for their burgers as being some of the best in town. I was not as impressed with our lunch fare as I thought I would be. My friend had a steak sandwich that was tough and nearly impossible to eat as a sandwich - she eventually just used a knife and fork. My fried green tomato salad was good but needed something else - I ended up using a spicy chili sauce to give it some zing. The buttermilk wings we had to start off were frankly, disappointing. No flavor and no spice and a little undercooked on top of it! Yes, the salads are fresh and tasty and they do a great job of local and fresh ingredients. But to rate #1 in my book I need some more flavor to keep me interested.

Ive been wanting to go to this place for months...And this was one of the places i wanted to yelp in 2010, so here it goes: Location: in a plaza between a miami photo and a chef tian (chinese take out) this place is easy to miss, since the dont have a sign. Parking can be a hassle, but there was plenty right across Lejeune that was metered. Beware, the meter was strictly enforced, saw the officer giving a car right next to me a ticket as i was scarfing down my take out meal! Inside can only hold maybe 10-20 customers at most, the place is TINY..Now im all for the small cutesy places, but its getting to be borderline ridiculous, i would still call it small and cutesy if it were 3 times bigger. good thing I heeded the advice of others and ordered take out. The food: Its friday, which means unique burger day. And this place is the epitome of unique burgers, you can check out their daily menu online. Today was the BIG FRIDAY "Bresaola" BURGER - Naturally Raised Sirloin Patty, Lettuce, Tomato, Walnut-Raisin & Whipped Goat Cheese Spread, Air Cured Beef Tenderloin Slices & Red Onion Confit on Onion Challah Bun. I won't say this is the best burger ive had, because its not. The meat did not have that chargrilled flavor. But boy it did have a medly of other flavors from the walnut-raisin/whipped goat cheese spread to the cured beef tenderloin slice. The burgers here are king of unique flavors, however the meat, while appropriately juicy just did not have that char grilled goodness. The burger comes with either salad or chips, i picked the salad, and i was not disappointed. The mixed greens barely needed any dressing, the ingredients were uber fresh and i ended up scarfing that down as fast as the burger. Of course the juices of the meat and the goat cheese spread was all mixed into the greens in my takeout container so I'm sure that created a flavor bomb in itself. There are better burgers out there, but noone compares in the aspect of blending unique flavors so masterfully. NOONE. The key lime pie was deeelish. Smooth creamy, not overpowering, with a crispy crust i wish it was bigger!! Cost: this place is a little on the high side. I ordered the burger and a key lime pie: total was 20 and some change. However this place uses the highest of ingredients and im almost convinced they grow their own herbs. Thats how fresh everything tastes. Was it worth the 30 minute drive to see what all the yelp craze was about..absolutely ive driven further for worse stuff! Will I be back? i'll have to take my fiancee for sure! This is not 5 stars for me, simply because ive had better burgers and to me 5 stars is the best Ive ever had up until that point. And if you see my reviews I have very few 5 star places.

Tastiest food in town. Exceptional service. They serve Southern fare with a modern twist. Their beer braised baby back ribs are out of this world. I love the atmosphere, and it has an open kitchen, so you can watch the chef and staff prepare your meal with speed and care.

Great little bistro hidden behind the chaotic Sunset Place. Parking can be a pain sometimes, but the food is well with the effort to find side street parking. The ambience is a little loud and space is tight, but the menu and daily specials are the main event. The fried green tomatoes and maple glazed brussell sprouts is an all time fave. The gianormous sandwiches are a feat in itself. Try the fried snapper sandwich when they are on the menu, it's tasty goodness between two slices of bread. Spicy beef on coconut rice is a sure hit. You will be hard pressed to find something not to your liking on the menu. A decent wine and beer selection to boot with daily draft and wine specials. A real neighborhood gem.
(5)David S.
Good food and drinks, diverse menu. Took off one star because there is not enough parking (had to park in front of meters in front of boca tanning/57th ave and walk), also kind of pricey. Excellent food and service tho
(4)Andy D.
I haven't been in a while, somewhat purposeful do to hating the parking, and yes I've mentioned it in every review and because I've been out of town. So this being review number 300, I'll start fresh. The parking apparently just causes me to wanna go someplace else, as it's 1:45pm and Whisk is packed. Luckily I parked in a metered spot on Red Road, or I'd still be driving around. Walking into Whisk's lot I see a large black van advertising EBPCYCLING.com taking up two spaces, this would be like him/her taking up 5000 spaces at Dadeland Mall by parking ratio, I'll bet he's a proponent of share the road; however, his/her moral compass that comes to parking is as inadequate as a unic in a brothel. Ok I vented I'm fine now. Let's move on to what really matters. The food, the service, the restaurant! The service her, is friendly, fast and efficient. Even with a huge luncheon crowd, they worked flawlessly. The restaurant has a very eclectic menu, from fried green tomatoes, to fried chicken salad, to the shrimp and grits. All those items I have had before and I highly recommend them. Today, not so luck on the food front, I had the Boston Bibb Lettuce and Feta Cheese, with a shrimp skewer. Largely it was uninspiring, nothing to write home about, and hardly worth my time writing about now. The G/F had a Mahi Mahi fish sandwich and it was exceptional. So all in all I'd say bravo to Whisk! My salad, well always somewhere you'll find a dud! But, Whisk has been consistently good, so I'll give that one a Mulligan.

Excellent, from the staff to the food. The busboy may also be one of the best busboys I have ever seen at any restaurant. My favorite about this restaurant is the opening for the kitchen!

This review is regarding only in the host who greeted us on Friday, October 10.we were quoted a 20 minute wait time when we called in about 10 minutes before arriving, and literally about 10 minutes after being told there is only a 20 minute wait we arrived only to be told the wait was over an hour. thanks for your accurate wait times which increased 300% in the span of about 10 minutes.
(1)Mike R.
Gotta love this place. Excellent food, good value, good draft beer selection, nice wine list. Always get the fried green tomatoes. And the BLT is one of my favorites. Gets a bit noisy and no reservations for less than 6, so you will wait if you get there after 630pm.
(5)Yudicel G.
Whisk was great! The food was awesome and the service was good! Their sangria is amazing. Came for lunch and was instantly hooked. Never though I would have liked it so much since it's a little small and hidden. Exceeded my expectations and I plan on coming back! Highly recommend!
(5)Sara F.
Oh yum yum yum! You must try: Gorgonzola stuffed Medjool dates, fried chicken and mashed taters, sweet cornbread with jalapenos, fried chicken tenders and spinach salad, and pulled pork burritos, I could go on and on. Exceptionally varied menu full of creative dishes that will please both comfort foodies and health-conscious eaters. No way you will be disappointed with this one. Only drawback is tricky parking.
(5)Sam S.
The bacon wrapped dates is enough to keep me coming back... The rest of my meal (pork sliders and girlfriends BBQ ribs) were just OK. The noise level in Whisk is also outrageously high, you can't hear the person next to you! 3 star restaurant saved by the bacon!
(4)Amie O.
Went for lunch today by the advice of a friend. It was awesome. I had the fried green tomato blt. It was to die for. My grandmother had the shrimp and grits. It had pork belly in it. Sooo good and my sister had the ceaser salad which had shaved Brussel sprouts and shaved broccoli. She loved it. They even had fresh squeezed lemonade. My favorite. We'll be going back.
(5)Victoria A.
I would say 3.5 is more fitting. We were really looking forward to trying Whisk. The ambiance is nice and different, but very small space. Expect to be crammed and crowded on the weekend. The appetizers were great but entrees were lacking, we weren't impressed. Our server and bartender were great!
(4)Mark W.
Great food, good prices, nice people. Parking is available but success means it's hard to find a parking spot. Other than parking difficulty, I highly recommend.
(4)Nicole D.
This place was nice! The decor, service and food were tasty. Had corn bread & fried green tomato appetizers. Braised BBQ chicken entree was good, but should have been cooked longer. I'd return!
(4)Dan P.
FANTASTIC. Been here every weekend for the past 3 weeks, easily one of my favorite places in Miami. Highly suggest the rancheros huevos, steak and eggs, fried green tomato sandwiches and fried okra. They are also open for brunch on Sundays now too (side bar says closed on Sundays). Get there early, because it gets packed and there will be a wait!
(5)Olivia R.
I've had the tuna sandwich and kale ceaser salad. Tuna sandwich: I had tuna sandwich on multigrain bread. It was a pretty good tuna sandwich, packed with different veggies. I wish it came with the home made chips they offer, because $9 sandwich is pretty expensive. Kale ceaser: for a 14 dollar salad it didn't really meet my expectations. Yes it was packed with kale and brussel sprouts, but it lacked flavor (unless you want to pour the entire thick dressing on). The bacon croutons were very cool though, they really did have a hint of bacon!

I've been a regular here for years. They're original location was off the intersection of ponce and us1. Although they moved to a more spacious location, I imagined the quality would suffer since their staff along with their customers may have doubled or may have tripled. This place is always consistent. They have a great selection. Before bacon wrapped dates became a staple on most menus, they were serving it. I typically go for lunch and order the roasted turkey salad with cranberries, the blackened mahi sandwich (add avocado), the burrito, the fried green tomato sandwich (probably one of their best options), and their burgers usually served on Fridays. If they happen to have the buttermilk cake be sure to order it! They also have some great coffee and make superb Arnold Palmers.
(5)Kristina C.
Found this little gem and enjoyed the chicken sandwich very much. My boyfriends sandwich came out wrong but they were kind enough to switch it out. Will be returning for lunch!

After over a year hiatus I eventually made it back to Ol' Whisk!! The date: January 2, 2013. The occasion: Playing hooky...not ready to go back for work. Firstly I want to say the waitstaff is awesome!! Super friendly, all smiles and terrific service!!! Brownie point #1: Location, they sat us by the kitchen and we could see in as we ate. Awesome strategy...I want it ALL!!!! Brownie point #2: I drove our waiter bonkers sampling wines until I found one I liked. He never complained or made an annoyed gesture. Brownie points #3-7: The FOOD!!!!!! * Parmesan Pimiento cheese spread - weird I cant really describe but good * Bacon wrapped figs - do I need to say more????? * Hanger Steak Sandwich - DELICIOUS! Perfectly cooked tender pieces of steak. * Roast Beef & Brie sandwich - special of the day, different than the hanger steak sandwich, not as carnivorish but explosive in flavors. * Chocolate coconut pie - insane amount of chocolate but don't worry they give you a small enough piece to prevent a diabetic comma Brownie point #8: All this + 2 beers and 1 wine = $90!!! I love you Whisk :)

Last night I ate at Whisk. It's a place I've been to a few times. The first time I didn't really like what I ate and can't remember what it was. My friend likes some of the items so we went back. I thought I'd give it another chance. To be quite honest, I thought it was ok but nothing out of this world. Last night was about the same. Mahi sandwich I could have honestly made at home with a salad with dressing that was amazing! Shrimp and grits that was lacking some seasoning but creamy and tender. But here's the thing, this is the reason I give it 4 stars. The food is good, the prices are good, the ingredients are high quality, the service is great and the place is really nice. While yes, I feel that it's not one of my favorite places to go because the flavors are not ones that I like, I feel that others may feel completely different. For instance, the pork sliders, one I liked, the other, not so much. Overall I'd tell you to take a chance on this place and don't forget to try the "soda of the day" and the deserts. I'm really not a desert person but have to admit the bread pudding is fantastic! Enjoy!

First time here I had the fried tomato as an appetizer. I recommend them. I am a spicy freak, I want everything spicy... the batter they fry them in could be overtop if it had more flavor than the existing. Water is served in mason jar drinking mug with no ice at least for me they didn't add any. side note: There is a sharing fee for entrees.

A group of friends and I decided to head over to Whisk for a light weekday dinner. Luckily, we found a couple parking spots still open in the teeny lot. I had heard so much about the place but had never been, despite living close by for years... I had to see what I was missing out on. I was really pleased with the look of Whisk inside. It's very cute and comfortable, and kind of... home-y? For starters: I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes!! I don't usually like tomatoes, but I guess green ones are totally different. They are perfectly made, and they come with a delicious buttermilk sauce for dipping, although they taste wonderful on their own too. I can't wait to return to try the pimiento cheese and fried green tomato sandwich. It must be amazing. We also had the homemade potato chips, which were yummy but very,very salty. I love salty food, but I think the combination of salt and salty cheese took these a little over the top. I had a roasted turkey sandwich with brie and cranberry mayonnaise (I was feeling autumn-y). It was really good! Plus, it was $7.95. That made it taste even better. Our waiter was not the friendliest... He seemed really annoyed when my friend asked for less cheese on her sandwich and I think he made a bigger deal out of the situation than was necessary. We looked at the dessert menu and decided nothing really jumped out at us. I would return to Whisk to try that fried green tomato sandwich, or one of their entrees. The turkey sandwich was a unique idea that I'll try to replicate at home. The fried green tomatoes were the only thing that really blew me away.

I had read all of the very good to great reviews of this place so had to try it out. It was good, but not at all great. The ambiance and interior decor are creative and up-lifting. The menu is very creative and shows that the chef/owner has training and knowledge of food. However, the waitress was rushed, not happy, not attentive, and did not want to listen. The young guy who brought our plates to the table mumbled which plate had which food and all but threw the plates down on the table. The dishes were creative in the ingredients. They were plated well. The flavors, however, were lacking and bland as if they had been cooked long before we ate at about 7 p.m. We liked it enough to want to give it one more try. Maybe that was an off night for the staff and for those dishes. We will see.
(3)Douglas B.
Was turned on to Whisk when I got a gift certificate from my one of my clients. It immediately went on our short-list of great restaurants. Great food, awesome atmosphere and excellent wait staff. Highly recommend.
(4)B G.
Easy 5 star review. They have great food, great wine and a great craft beer selection. Def also has a menu that you WANT to explore. Best value on their menu is believe it or not their burrito! Its huge and its cheap too! But their apps and there desserts were also stellar. Great place, been here at least 5 times.
(5)James M.
Extremely overrated.... I'm a big yelper, been in town for a week and been going to highest rated yelper restaurants all week. This and and southern swine were lame as heck. Had all the most mentioned items; dates, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, pulled pork burrito, steak sandwich and the pork entree. Let's go in order... Dates were great but honestly I haven't had bad dates anywhere, not sure how u can go wrong there. Fried green tomatoes... Not bad by any means but the artichoke hearts at sunset tavern for 1$ during happy hour were just as good. What im trying to say is, NOTHING SPEACIAL. Next up the fried chicken... I asked the server how it's prepared and he said, it's fried chicken with mash potatoes and honey glazed greenbeans. I looked at him and said so whats the big deal, he said oh it's our number one seller because of the marinade... Plzzzzz there wasn't a drop of marinade that I could taste. I know this sounds extremely harsh, even rude, but KFC had more taste. Coming from the 'eating house' the past Sunday for their chicken and waffles was worlds better. For those who ordered the burrito and steak sandwich I just felt flat out bad for. The burrito was the most bland dried out burrito I've ever had. I guess they try compensating by having two served for 14 bucks. Top it off its served in tin foil.. Classy. The steak sandwich was just mediocre, again not bad, but not fine dining by any means. This was served in wax paper... The pork easily the highlight and the meal everybody wished they had ordered. All around overrated and would not come back unless they offered half off during happy hour. Sorry guys had to do it...
(2)Rodney K.
Great food and ambiance. Service was equally as great. Highly recommend checking it out.

I know that I am in love when I can't get something off my mind. Whisk, you have indeed whisked me off my feet. The prior incarnation at their smaller location on LeJeune was my first experience with them and even though the space and menu were only a quarter of what they now are, I was immediately smitten by their down home style gourmet comfort food that is locally sourced, although their limited hours killed me and therefore I only enjoyed meals there once or twice. After their move, I had it on my 'to do' list but somehow just kept forgetting about it. Perhaps that was for the best, because my obsession is at risk of ruining my waistline. I came recently to try out the infamous Friday burger special...omg, talk about a foodgasm! Eyes half closed, mmmmms and oooohhhs escaping from my lips between bites, I savored each and every delectable bite of that perfectly cooked decadent goodness. Of course this meal had it's lingering effects on me and for days all I could think about was Whisk...Whisk....Whisk. So another trip was in quick order, this time I went for blackened Mahi that I have to say was the tenderest fish I have had in the few years that I have been eating seafood. If all fish was cooked like this, I would have started eating it EONS ago! Their desserts are pretty amazing too, although it's hard to save room for them...but trust me, you want to find a way. The beer selection is pretty damn good too, awesome craft beers on tap and in bottle format. And I really do love the atmosphere and the service. I felt quite well attended to and cozy, even on the Friday night when this place was slammed and there was a 30 minute wait. Totally worth it btw.
(5)Barbie P.
Good food!!! Parking may be a bit of a hassle but overall great quality and excellent service.
(4)Lola F.
This place rocks! Parking is a hassle but the food is so good it's worth it. Fridays is the only day they make to-die-for burgers. Great place for lunch or dinner. I plan to continue eating here for many years. My faves are the dates, spicy beef, their burritos and most importantly the corn-meal fish sandwich...heaven!
(5)Romi C.
My sheer indifference about this place demonstrates: - how hard i am to please..i would apologize for being a jackhole..... but....no. And this is my opinion. -how the Miami food scene hasn't evolved enough to my standards (i think bacon wrapped dates are just that...they make great drinking finger foods though!) -how exhausted I am of the delayed blossoming of this damned southern fried food craze...thick cut bacon and smoke flavor on everything. Yeah i get it but enough is enough. (ooh fried chicken THIS.... fried green tomato THAT (which oddly gave me a faint inkling of a taste...ummm.. like they were marinated in some sort of chimichurri prior to being fried??!) I'd love to see a menu that departs from the whole southern comfort direction, you have nice ingredients? why not think outside the hipster Paula Deen box? HERE'S A COMPLIMENT!!! ( or 4) i think the owners are very smart and i tip my hat to this gold huevo goose for: - the steak salad I've ordered to go is better than the same old same old that is available in the area during lunch hours. - being located in an area that lacks panache in their eateries; the main demographic having been starved for dark frou frou restaurants to down bottles of vino (and have passive aggressive dinners with the kids when they're in town visiting whilst accumulating cool parent points.) -nice beverage selection! -these guys were amongst the first to tap into the pockets of this whole collective mentality of douchers that proudly rant " i'm a FOODIE because i eat at ____________" GENIUS!
(2)Barbara A.
Really fantastic! I had the fried chicken and it was outstanding. Can't remember what my friend had but she loved it too!
(5)Victoria V.
This is my boyfriend and I's favorite restaurant. The home like setting accompanied with homemade food is simply satisfying and amazing. We always start with the corn bread but we enjoy every single thing we have ever tried: fried rice, pulled pork sliders, pork burritos, tuna sandwich and ALL of the deserts!
(5)ROSE J.
I've been hear twice and the food and wine are amazing! the place is a bit loud and its gets super packed so arrive early. parking is limited since it gets crowded but its worth the wait. def a must try!
(5)Fed C.
The reviews aren't lying. This place is as good as it gets. Simply sensational food and drink. Someone please give me the crispy fried brussels sprouts recipe!
(5)H G.
Chicken sandwich was AMAZING Chicken tortilla soup was okay - everything seemed blended together Service was great Coming back for sure, and getting the BLT next time
(4)Patty T.
Whisk is such a treat! I always try something new and I am never disappointed. The must haves are their Brussel sprouts, and dates for appetizers:) yummyyyyy Expect a 15-20 min wait on average but all worth it!
(5)Betty G.
Whisk came highly recommended by a co-worker, but I was very disappointed with their lack of customer service. I arrived with two other family members as my husband was trying to find a parking spot. The lot outside the restaurant was completely full and they don't have valet. I told the hostess that my husband was parking, but she said that she could not seat us until the full party had arrived. At this point another family arrived and they were seated immediately. Then another party of four arrived and I asked her if we could be seated before them as we had arrived prior to them. The hostess proceeded to say that my whole party had to be present to be seated. I asked speak to the manager. I never got to see the manager, nor did the hostess apologize. As she came back, my husband arrived and she had no choice but to seat us ahead of the other family. I was disappointed by their failure to accommodate their customers, especially when we were the first to arrive and had been waiting to be seated with two senior citizens in our party. The brunch itself was good. My biscuit was a bit undercooked and tasted really doughy. I think if it had been left to cook longer it would have been perfect. I had the home-made lemonade and that was good. Overall, the lack of customer service left a bitter taste in my mouth and tainted the rest of the meal.
(2)Ian T.
WHISK is one of my wife and I's favorite restaurants in Miami or elsewhere. The style of food is best described as "upscale new southern" with nods to latin/southwestern and asian elements. The large open kitchen is great, as is the ambience. It can get a bit loud and echo-prone, but it manages to combine both a homey and upscale feeling. There is a community table basically next to the open kitchen as well as individual seating. The things we've had that are consistently great: - Corn on the cob. That doesn't sound particularly special -- but they quick-fry it (sans batter) so its really crispy yet has that fresh snap. And the butter concoction just adds to it. - Low country shrimp and grits. Very fresh shrimp, well-seasoned and a new american take on a southern dish. - The dates. If it's your first time, you must get these. - The pork loins are awesome. Although their chicken, burritos etc. are very good, I didn't find them AS stand out or substantially better than any other well-executed restaurant. Note that it is a small place, so the wait can be a bit, and the parking is terrible. Their own lot is very small and there's not a lot of curbside near the restaurant. I usually park in the parallel street over and walk through the alley to get to the restaurant. It's also a bit hidden, so you'll have to keep an eye out.
(5)Katie W.
Small place, small parking lot, but I could care less about that because this place was AWESOME! My first visit was this past weekend with my bf and we didn't even have to wait. The bar seats are first come first serve which is a plus. Once we were settled in, we scanned the menu and were at a loss of what to order since everything sounded amazing. I finally settled on the fried green tomato appetizer and the honey fried chicken appetizer for myself and my bf got the Buttermilk fried chicken entree with a side of corn bread. The food came out piping hot. The fried green tomatoes were so delicious and they were only elevated even more by the oh so unbelievably creamy dreamy wonderful homemade ranch sauce. OH DEAR GOD THE RANCH SAUCE! Let me tell you about this ranch. You know the wishbone, hidden valley or whatever store brand ranch sauce you know of, well.....that's not what ranch tastes like. The homemade ranch at Whisk is what ranch tastes like and I never even knew it. Oh how I was blind before, but now I see. It was pure heaven I tell you. anywaaaays....on to the fried chicken. It was so super crispy and full flavored. The inside was extremely juicy and tender. It was the perfect blend of flavor and texture. The honey complemented the savoriness of the chicken really well. My bf's chicken was just as yummy as mine and the gravy that came with his took me back to the days of eating southern cooked meals with my family in Virginia. From the food to the customer service, Whisk met every expectation. Go try it for yourself. oh and to the people complaining about the southern food "craze" and the amount of fried food served here, here's some advice: 1. There are NOT a lot of southern comfort food places in Miami 2. There are cuban restaurants on every corner in Miami (which is fine, I like cuban food too), but no one complains that there are too many, so why b#tch about southern places 3. The southern food thing is not a craze or trend invented by Paula Deen. It's been around for generations and it's just finally making it's way to Miami. 4. If you're going to complain about too much fried food here, maybe look them up online to see what they have to offer before you show up and complain. You want to eat healthier every now and then that's fine, look up healthy restaurants & go there instead complaining.
(5)Richard D.
I've been here twice and both times have been great. Let's start with the atmosphere, loud and festive. Great rustic type intetior. I have never had fried green tomatoes, but after having them here. It's one of my favorite dishes. The tomatoes are fried perfectly and they come with this buttermilk dipping sauce that is like crack. Now another great app is the shrimp and grits. To be honest it's a nice portion and could be easily eaten as an entree. The grits are nice and creamy with mushrooms and diced bacon which definitely works well with the crispy grilled shrimp. My girlfriend loved her fried Brussels sprouts and we also had the risotto fritters. We usually never have enough room to try dessert but we definitely want to. And for the most part we have only had appetizers but I did have the pulled pork burritos that were legit. I think I might want to go tonight! Highly recommend going here.
(4)Christy C.
This is my favorite somewhat casual restaurant in Miami. My husband and I dine at Whisk at least twice a month. We love the fried green tomatoes and the burrito (The full order is big enough to share)! Amazing! Pros: Delicious food, Great service, Nice Ambiance Cons: Parking, Long wait times, Alcohol is a bit pricey The cons do not stop us from going back. We LOVE Whisk :)
(5)Dave W.
We popped in for an early dinner on a rainy gloomy day, and truthfully, we were blown away. We entered wet and bedraggeled. We left satiated, happy, and ready to take on the world! We were seated at a long stainless steel table which we'd normally share with other patrons but, due to the early hour, we had it all to ourselves. The decor was modern, the service friendly and on point, and our food was fresh, creative, and fun! What more could we ask for?! My salad with nuts, fresh crunchy veggies, and barbecued chicken was a great mix of flavors... Truly outstanding. We can't wait to return!
(4)Mailin J.
Get whisked away at WHISK Gourmet! I'm telling you the service was wonderful. Our server, Andres, didn't miss a beat. He was ready with great recommendations and swift service. He picked up my straw wrapper before I took a second blink. I recommend the fried green tomatoes, berry lemonade and burrito! Check out the photos as I took two to share with ya'll. Happy Whiskin'.
(4)Arturo B.
I have been going to WHISK for a couple of years. The old location was tiny and the waits were incredibly long. I visited maybe 2-3 times for their Friday Burger. The location at South Miami is such a I typically visit Fridays for the "Burger special". The sirloin patty is really meaty and juicy. Combined with the special ingredient of the week and a side salad (fresh greens, tomatoes, and balsamic vinaigrette) makes this burger one of the best in Miami. You can also order the housemade potato chips with grated Parmesan. Don't get me wrong, they are really good, but I prefer the salad as a healthier choice. The WHISK Burritos are insanely good too. Flour tortilla filled with pulled pork lechon style (roasted tender and with a hint of acid from the mojo), jasmine rice, black beans, pico de gallo, avocado and cilantro. All these ingredients together become a synesthesia of flavors. Highly recommended to share as 2 burritos are served. Arrive early and plan your meal accordingly. The restaurant is usually packed for both lunch and dinner. Avoid peak times if possible.
(4)Helen W.
Good food, friendly service, festive ambience. Had the Vanilla Ganache Cheese Cake for dessert - Chef Lorena's desserts continue to disappoint with complete mediocrity (chocolate tasted like nothing!).
(4)Laura V.
Whisk serves delectable food. The fried green tomatoes are wonderful. Twice I've ordered the vegetable plate and the combination of flavors is always delicious no matter which veggies I order. Staff is quite charming and the dining room is cozy. For such amazing food the prices are a bargain.
(5)Nichole M.
So went to this little place on Sat afternoon with my mom. I have to say, if you can get over the parking bit, this is really a good place. I'll definitely come back to try other things on the menu. We had the fried green tomatoes which were so delicious! Buttermilk batter was really tasty and was cooked to perfection. The bacon wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola... wow! We also ordered the corn bread which was just OK for me.. I've had better. After the appetizers we were pretty good so just shared the hanger steak salad which was yummy. Steak was cooked perfectly and I loved the fried goat cheese! I really wish we could have made some room for desert but that will just have to wait till next time. I have to go back to try the shrimp and grits and the fried chicken entree. Our neighbors had it and it looked and smelled spectacular. I'll be back!

Underwhelming. Food was ok, service was poor. It took nearly 10 minutes to be acknowledged while waiting to place a carry out order at the bar during a slow part of the day. The only bright spot was the bread pudding.

Went here last weekend so good, we started with of course the fried green tomatoes so good! My friend had the tuna salad sandwich and ordered the steak sandwich on multigrain bread and we shared, steak was cooked perfect and the tuna was amazing! We each had a draft beer my friends ordered the IPA and I had the brown dog ale, very refreshing! We were so full could not make it to desert! :-)

Went to their new location that is now an actual restaurant that you sit down with waiter service. I kind of miss the old Whisk because this place was EXTREMELY loud for lunch. they may not have sound proofed their walls because I definitely left with a headache. So for atmosphere I would give this place a 2 for very loud, and very lousy. Now for food AMAZING high quality ingredients. I ordered the turkey on multigrain with bib lettuce, and a portion of haas avocados. Also ordered the crispy fried chicken spinach salad. Came with homemade buttermilk dressing cremini mushroom fresh spinach and eggs. WOW what an amazing salad this is a must try ! one of the best salads I have ever had. Ask for extra dressing to dip the chicken in.

The food wasn't bad but the place is so ridiculously overpriced that we won't be coming bad and won't recommend it to anybody.
(3)Giancarlo B.
The food is delicious & reasonably priced. You have to try their BLT, it's ridiculous.
(5)Carolyn G.
I went to this restaurant because I saw it on TV and someone also recommended it. However, the three times that I've eaten there I was very disappointed. The food really lacks flavor. Even a simple Greek salad was very bland. I felt I could've made a better one at home. The famous fried chicken was also not noteworthy and the burritos were also not impressive. They both lacked flavor. I tried to give the place the benefit of the doubt that's why I've been there three times but unfortunately I'm done trying Whisk.

Was off on a random weekday and decided to make a lunch date with my best friend. We wanted to play the role of 'ladies who lunch' - even if for just a day. We ordered the dates with bacon and gorgonzola cheese - OMG. For lunch my friend ordered the steak sandwich.... so many intense flavors and lots to chew on! I got the burrito - mainly because the jasmine rice inside of it was calling my name. Definitely a very different high-end take on the burrito... and the pork was very flavorful. We were too stuffed to order dessert... but will definitely be back.
(4)Lourdes A.
I looooooove this place! Their menu is delicious, prices are pretty reasonable. Bacon wrapped dates, fried green tomatoes...delicious. Great date spot :)

Came here for lunch with a friend that I was visiting in Miami. She swore by this place for dinner but hadn't tried it for lunch. We were able to be sat right away at a high table that we shared with two 4 other people. I loved how you could see right in to the kitchen and check out the action! I ordered an iced tea. It was a really nice flavor even unsweetened. The service was prompt. We both ordered the buttermilk fried chicken salad because of how amazing they looked on the table next to us. Once they came it was a healthy portion, The honey mustard was nice and light. And the chicken was done to perfection. The food and service was good but I was a little disgruntled when the hostess approached us, in the middle of us eating, asking if she could move us to another table because of a large group arriving. I simply replied, "we're in the middle of eating and almost finished". I thought that was kind of rude. Especially being that they could have sat us at another two top from the very beginning, there were about 2 or three of them available upon our arrival. It's whatever though. If I lived in the area I would definitely go back and try this place again.

Waiter was lovely. Manager & owner are a curious pair. I found hair in the half-sandwich I took home from my lunch, and they actually didn't seem too surprised. Both offered me a new sandwich "next time I'm in town," (I don't live in Miami), but neither seemed at all horrified that staff hair is falling in customers' food. They said it happens from time to time. I asked if Whisk would instead give my friend, who does live in town, a gift certificate for whatever amount the owner thought made sense, and he said I was being unreasonable and hung up on me. Yes, to this request, he disconnected the phone call!! I've heard great things about Whisk. But they are too casual about something so basic--ew!! I've never come across hair in my food before though, so maybe this is typical of all food places. Customers, check your food before eating. I'm sure it is a rare event at Whisk, but if you're the one with a black strand of hair in your lunch, it doesn't matter. More importantly, be prepared for the owner, Brendan, to treat it lightly, and prehaps even imply that you were responsible somehow. Not a great business strategy.
(1)Denise D.
New Sunday Brunch menu is fantastic. Try their Huevos Rancheros and the red sangria! And if you've got room, share the fluffiest pancakes ever.
(5)Persefoni V.
this is a solid go to neighborhood restaurant. the food is consistent as is the service. majority of the time there is a wait but the hostess seats you fairly quick. Their burrito is amazing! A full order is enough to share with someone. their brussel sprouts are one of the best in Miami as is their burger which is only served on Fridays. It is worth circling South Miami for 10 min. to find a parking spot. They also have a delicious brunch. I had their shrimp and grits and would go back again for it.
(5)Meghann A.
Whisk was recommended to me while I was in South Miami for work. At first impression, the parking is horrible. It's a tiny, hidden restaurant off a tiny back road with a total of maybe 10 spots in the back. I lucked out by snagging a person's spot right as they were pulling out I avoided the wait by sitting at the counter and ordered the first sandwich that popped out at me on the menu - the grilled tuna, avocado, and bacon melt (sans the cheese - I wasn't feeling it). For some reason, when I read that description I thought it was going to be a grilled tuna steak and not tuna salad. If I had given it more than two seconds of thought, I probably would have ordered something different since I'm not the biggest fan of tuna salad (this was totally my error- not sure where my head was). When it arrived there was a two-second delay of "oh, this wasn't what I thought it was" before I dove right in (I was hungry and didn't care what I was eating at this point) Wow. So happy I ordered this by mistake. Probably the best tuna sandwich I've ever had. The tuna salad wasn't terribly heavy and the bacon and avocado were so fresh and flavorful - this baby rocked. I finished every single bite of the giant sandwich (this thing was huge) and loved every bit of it. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. I would happily recommend Whisk to anyone traveling to South Miami based off of their delicious food, just be warned that parking is a pain and to expect a big wait during peak hours.

Had an amazing dinner here two nights ago. Place was packed with a great atmosphere. Meals were so tasty and the menu was unique.
(5)Chris C.
This place can't get any better! Hidden away close enough to cool places in South Miami but hidden enough to stay away from mainstream. I love it! The food is some good ol' comfort food...gourmet style! I feel like everything here is cooked by Guy Fieri while wearing a tuxedo. Whatever you eat is delciious, just make sure to get the red chili sauce. That sauce kicked me in the face earlier today and I apologized for being in its way....yeah that good!
(5)Nick C.
The comfort i feel when i walk into this place is unmatched by any restaurant I have been to in the South Miami area. I am in love with their corn bread and all the options they offer always taste much fresher than most restaurants i've been to. Everyone I have taken to this place always want to go back or ask me "NIck what was that place you took us to once?". The prices are a little high but I guess thats what you pay for quality. However, desserts here don't blow my mind so I usually just walk to Whip 'N Dip and get the best homemade ice cream in Miami if I have room.
(5)AnaKaren G.
Found our new weekday lunch spot! Food is amazing... tuna avocado BLT and roasted turkey with brie are delish. The bacon wrapped dates are a must. Our server Giselle was great! We arrived around 11am, by the time we left it was already crowded and not to mention the parking lot. Get there early, if not this place is still worth the wait.
(5)Paty D.
I finally made it to Whisk after months of wanting to go. I kept salavating every time I read the reviews so I finally went for lunch today and boy was I happy! My friend and I got there about 1:15 and we got seated right away. It definitely is a tiny space- even smaller than what I had envisioned- but it wasn't packed so we were fine. They have so many tantalizing choices to choose from but the moment I saw goat cheese I was taken! I had the Turkey and Cranberry salad and it was amazing to say the least!!! It is made with homemade turkey- no deli meat here- which was flavorful and moist. The dried cranberries were a nice compliment along with the candied walnuts and goat cheese. The goat cheese melded beautifully with the other flavors and was not overpowering. To me the best part was the subtle sweetness that came from the candied walnuts- absolute heaven!! I definitely will become a regular at this place since I truly appreciate a well crafted salad and more importantly, fresh ingredients. I also saw some of the sandwiches others were eating and they too looked delish! I only wish they were opened on the weekends!
(4)Mai N.
We stopped by for lunch bc our local friend recommended it, we were glad we stopped by! It's kinda expensive for lunch, but the food is definitely GOURMET!!! Fresh and delicious! We ordered the burrito (order the half portion bc the full portion is two burritos, very large size!) I ordered the shrimp w grits! The grits had mushrooms and bacon (YUMMY!!!) the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and fresh! Loved the lunch! Will recommend this place for lunch date or cute date! Food is excellent!!
(4)Lucy F.
Holy Insane Sandwiches! This place is dynamite delicious. Seriously never had a bad meal here. I'll drive out of my way to go to Whisk. It's a great place to meet up with friends to eat an affordable meal. Even if it's a sandwich this is a full meal, they don't skimp on portions here which other places can do. I feel like the meal was prepared just for me as I can never find something that I want to change, so yummy!
(4)Jonathan P.
Had brunch there last wknd fried chicken on a biscuit great and eggs Benedict awesome might have dinner there tonite one of the best and freshest tasting food in the area

I'm conflicted in my views about sharing the joy of Whisk. It's so delicious I want to tell everyone I know to spread the word, but also want to keep the secret to myself so I don't have to wait when I have the opportunity to eat there. Yet, from what I hear lots of people already know about this heavenly secret on Le Jeune! (Our server told us that lunchtime there is over an hour wait almost every day.) My first encounter with Whisk was trying the potato chips and key lime pie when my roommate came home with them after a delicious lunch she had. Last week, an event at the University of Miami I attended and I had their delicious catering and I knew I had to stop by soon. I went late Wednesday afternoon and it's safe to say I'm hooked. I tried the Fried Green Tomato sandwich and an Arnold Palmer after my table split the homemade potato chips and the guacamole. I couldn't resist the urge to take home a piece of the key lime pie and I'll be honest when I say that it upset me too much to finish it off and I kept a small slice of it in the refrigerator until I finally finished it yesterday! The way that people describe the venue, I knew that it'd be small but this place is tiny! I think there may only be four or five tables, which would make me think that it'd be an expensive meal but I walked out spending less than $20 even after all of the food I ordered! I hear that Whisk is going to grow in the coming months into a larger location to accommodate the huge crowds they've been drawing in, I hope that the new location will be open on the weekends so that we can all enjoy a wonderful brunch on Saturdays and Sundays!

This place is A-MAZING. Going down to Miami means giving up a lot of southern comforts that you can find in the rest of Florida, and Whisk Gourmet is the saving grace. The first visit I ever had was in their original location, a tiny little hole in the wall in a tiny plaza with limited parking and limited seats. The food was incredible then, and it's only improved in the years that have passed. On my two recent visits I was able to see the new location and soak in what it has to offer. Beverages are served in Mason jars, and the plating is absolutely gorgeous for all of the food. Whisk has successfully brought together comfort foods and sandwiches with gourmet flair, something that can easily be done wrong. If you can, I recommend sitting near the window to the kitchen. It's great to see the fast paced environment, and you can see the care and quality that go into each plate. The chicken and biscuits are delicious, the club sandwich is packed with flavor and offered with homemade potato chips, but don't leave here without trying the cornbread! Served with a scallion butter, the corn bread is tender and moist and is the perfect pre-meal treat.
(5)Cheryl L.
Best fried chicken I have ever had. Every dish I have had here has been amazing. Hands down best restaurant in Miami!
(5)Natassia M.
I have to say... Whisk lost its touch when it moved to its new location. I remember the food tasting so delicious before. I've been 3 times at the new location and have been disappointed every time. The food is nothing out of this world. I've actually left most of the food on my plate each time. I won't be coming back here. It's become more hype than anything else.
(1)Monica S.
Somewhere between a rustic country kitchen meets a woody, autumnal haven, Whisk innovates with its cuisine and brings a new kind of lunchtime flair to South Miami. For the meal, I went with 2 apps and a simple herb salad. Basic in execution, the salad was nothing out of the ordinary, save for the clever inclusion of cilantro, but the BBQ pulled pork topped cornbread was fab. The standout dish was the fried green tomatoes which they absolutely master. Crispy, not soggy, and paired with a buttermilk dip, these things give the Whistle Stop Café a run for its money. My meal companion's roast beef sandwich looked divine and were it not poor form, I might've eaten his portion as well. I loved it and can't wait to return!
(4)Kimbo G.
Came in for the first time with my family to check it out and decided to just do some appetizers. Amazing!!! Tried the southern corn bread, crab cake, shrimp and grits, and grilled cheese. All were outstanding! Must try!!!
(5)Sperry T.
Love this place. Truly unique food. Shrimp and grits - delicious. Order an entree size (not on menu) and have enough to share. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the grits were creamy and had multi-level flavors. Not a big fan of the fried tomatoes. Maybe this is because I am from the South and have had better at family dinners. Whisk's fried green tomatoes are just too thick and I don't taste the 'green' flavor enough. Also had the fried chicken salad. Good, but I will order something else next time since there are so many things I want to try. Atmosphere was inviting and energized. We sat near the kitchen and even with the organized chaos there, the cooks were smiling and joking together. Nice to see. Possibly my new favorite place.
(5)David H.
Had lunch here today. I did not expect anything but boy was I wrong. One of best tuna blts I ever had. It was perfect
(4)Cristi D.
Naturally, I chose Whisk as my first restaurant to review. This is by far, hands-down my favorite restaurant. Reason being, not that I have counted, I have probably dined here over 50 times easily. I still have yet to find a reason to stop going nor do I ever get sick of it. In fact, I get a little joy when I beat my "how many times in one week I go to Whisk" record. So far my record is 4 times in one week. As a self-proclaimed Whisk enthusiast, I think I know exactly what to get here. Some of my favorites include: the Whisk burritos, bacon-wrapped dates, key lime pie (still the best I've ever had, even from Key West), BBQ chicken salad, and the turkey and brie sandwich. Although these items are always on the menu, I'd also suggest venturing onto their daily specials menu. Everything is always amazing and fresh! P.S. Two words: BURGER FRIDAYS
(5)Kristy C.
Great lunch spot in South Miami! It's a little off the beaten path, but it's easy to find and it's a really cute little place. Perfect for a lunch date! The parking lot is very small, but we circled around and it wasn't hard to find street parking in the area. It was a nice day and it's a nice area, so it made for an enjoyable walk. After reading good reviews on the bacon wrapped dates and the fried green tomatoes, my boyfriend and I had to try them. Both appetizers were delicious and we were very happy. The bacon was nice and crispy, just how I like it. We ordered the veggie hoagie and the chicken salad sandwich which were really yummy! My boyfriend also enjoyed the sangria! The food was great, the service was quick and friendly -- we couldn't be happier. We returned soon after to try the Sunday Brunch, which was absolutely delicious! :)
(5)Gaby S.
I finally had the opportunity to come and try this place out. If it wasnt for yelp, i would have never discovered this great little place. It was pretty packed and the parking isnt very good but i knew that meant the place was going to be really good. Get the gourmet burrito! it was really good :)
(5)Jessica A.
Excellent! Parking was no issue, wait was shorter than expected, and food is spectacular.
(5)Ana R.
I had lunch today at WHISK with a customer. It was a pleasant experience. The service is great. Someone is constantly passing by the table asking if you need anything and our water was constantly refilled. Warm Homemade Cornbread... AWESOME! Bacon Wrapped, Gorgonzola Stuffed, Medjool Dates... AMAZING. Baked Anson Mills Cheese Grits... not as creamy as I'd hope. Maybe my fault as I was expecting something closer to a polenta. My husband had the Dry Rubbed NY Strip Steak (12 oz.). The taste of the steak was phenomenal. I had the Grilled Tuna Salad Avocado Bacon Melt on multi-grain. It was good, but the steak was just so much better. My customer had the WHISK Gourmet Burritos. It looked good and my customer almost ate through the two burritos so I have to assume it was good. For desert we shared a new item on the menu, Pumpkin Pie Tartlet with Fresh Whipped Cream and Pepita Brittle. It was super pleasant. I enjoyed the two bites I had because I was just too full to finish it off. I am looking forward to a return visit to continue trying other items on the menu. p.s. I made a trip to the ladies room. Super clean, very nicely decorated. A pleasant experience for a public bathroom.

"I love the Friday burger, I have dreams of what I want to do to it" - Maria A. - she actually wrote that on my computer as means to get me to break my writer's block This was about two years ago and I'm just now finishing this review I don't dream about it but it's a damn good burger pricey
(4)Branny J.
Let's face it the parking sucks, the service is ok at best, but the FOOD is exquisite. They have the best skirt steak sandwich and the cornbread is phenomenal! P.S. Not sure who this Annie chick is but she's great too.
(5)Cat T.
Great food. Southern rustic decor, gourmet comfort food - as good as many excellent Charleston SC foodie-ish restaurants that I love, and believe me, I am no "foodie"!
(5)Martin O.
This is one of the best lunches you can have in South Florida. I had lunch here with South Florida's Favorite Yelp Foodie and she ordered up the appetizers: The Corn on the Cob was clearly the best I've ever had in a long time and a Roasted Pork Dish. Both went well with my Arnold Palmer that was served in a small Mason Canning Jar. She also ordered up some Fried Potato Chips (Hot, Oily, Crispy). For a main course I had the Burger which was perfectly prepared. I had a taste of their Corn Bread which was also very good with small kernels of corn inside. The owner, Kristin Conner came by to say hi, she looked at our table of food and said, "that's a Strong Order". I've never heard that line before, but all I was thinking at the time is taking home the left overs. For dessert, their Key Lime Pie was also very good. Whisk Gourmet is located in a remote area several long blocks from the Sunset Mall. Parking around it is very limited. A reservation is recommended during peak hours.

Being a Miami native I can't believe I had never visited WHISK til last Saturday... The place was packed but luckily a seat at the bar became available shortly after I arrived at 8pm. The atmosphere was warm, the staff was friendly, attentive and gave great suggestions for a first timer and the patrons raved about their previous visits... I had a spectacular meal, made some new acquaintences and even ran into a old family member I'd not seen in a while... Kudos to WHISK and ask Arnold would say "I'll Be Back"....
(5)Lisset N.
My husband and I LOVE this place! We eat there 2-3 times a month....although it is a little pricey, the food is well worth it! Burger Fridays are our favorite! The burgers are huge, ridiculously delicious (a creative new burger every week) and the house-made chips w/ Parmesan are extremely addictive. Another great dish is the fried chicken with smashed potatoes and veggies---probably the best veggies I've ever eaten! Fried green tomatoes and corn on the cob are other favorites :) The staff are always friendly and service is always en pointe. I've only experienced one issue where my burger was under-cooked, but the manager made sure to have it done right and removed the charge from the bill. Yes, the parking is a hassle due to limited amount of spaces, but there is plenty of street parking around the restaurant (a little walking before/after a meal is not so bad---make an evening out of it; walk over to B&N or window-shop). Overall, a great little restaurant, which, I agree, should expand to a larger space with more parking as long as it doesn't compromise the quality of the food or the service.
(5)Damian A.
Had some great seats by the kitchen that allowed me to not only read the menu but see some of the dishes. I was immediately attracted to the corn in a visible sense. However, seeing is not tasting. After taking one magical bite into one, I was transported to a buttery heaven plush with flavors and explosions. That was just the corn!!! All else was just as tantalizing. 25 mile drives don't seem too far anymore for this result.
(5)Usu I.
Fantastic menu and so much to choose from. Rarely do I have such difficulty figuring out what I would like to eat, and I found Whisk's menu was very appealing. The food was great quality and I enjoyed it very much. I have only been here once, and I plan to go again and try other dishes.
(4)Karla S.
Whisk me up! Quite frankly, I am not easy to please -- just ask my husband, the poor thing. However, this place sang sweet music to my ears. So what brings me to rate Whisk Gourmet so highly? Quality and ambiance. The iced tea was the perfect choice to cool down on a hot Miami day. The fried green tomatoes were crisp, not too greasy, tart and so delicious. Now, what stole my heart was my tuna sandwich and home made chips. The right amount of home made mayo, nice fresh bread, perfectly sized chunks of fresh tuna (no canned cat food anywhere here), and crispy salty chips to balance it all out. I was naughty during my visit to Whisk. I had heard stories about their rich and creamy, brilliant creation of a key lime pie. Naturally, I had to order a slice. The verdict? Heaven. You better believe I will be back for more.
(4)Stephanie L.
Whisk me away! I'd heard so many great things about this place that I was dying to check it out for myself. It was a bit hidden near Sunset Place, but we got lucky enough to manage a parking spot right in front. I can see how it might get a bit tricky though! Even on a Monday night, it was packed, with a 20 minute wait. If you're feeling impatient though, you may be able to get seats a little quicker at the bar. The decor was a bit simple/spartan, but clean, with kind of a cozy feel to it. While we were waiting we decided to peruse the menu, and even with the extra time to choose...it was still a very difficult decision. So many options seemed to jump out, and it was kind of a mix of Southern dishes (like shrimp and grits) and more unique salads and sandwiches with lots of greens and vegetables. All of the prices seemed reasonable too, with most of the sandwiches being a mere $8.95. My friend and I split the bacon wrapped dates with gorgonzola, and I opted for the fried green tomato sandwich on multi-grain. The dates were absolute perfection, I've had similar appetizers elsewhere that paled in comparison to the masterful preparation of Whisk's version. The dates were not overly dry, and the bacon was perfectly crispy. It made a phenomenal combination with the gorgonzola. My sandwich came cut into two nice triangles like back when I was in grade school. Easy to eat and a cool spin on the basic sandwich. The pimiento cheese (which seemed like a mayo, cheese mix) added enough moistness to prevent the bread and fried green tomatoes from making the sandwich too dry. My friend got the steak sandwich, and his was incredibly juicy and messy, but also really good. Our server was very helpful and attentive. They've also got a pretty decent wine list and some cool beers on tap! All in all, it was a delicious meal, and I'm looking forward to going back to try more sandwiches and some of their other entrees. Great spot for American fare, with some inventive twists and fresh ingredients.

A long time ago, my fellow Yelper Lourdes C. was singing the praises of Whisk. We could never get together and go because of the early hour the restaurant would close at its previous location. As soon as we heard they were moving and would therefore have later hours, we made it a point to go. (Obviously, this review is old but was drafted way back when too.) On a Tuesday evening the joint was packed solid. The wait was about 30 minutes. There's a small bar that was only serving wine and it was full of other people waiting for their tables. So we hung around outside until we were called. There were 4-seater tables and then a couple of communal tables right in front of the kitchen. I'm not that friendly and we had a lot of catching up to do, so we sat at a 4-seater. The decor was minimal, allowing the space to present its openness and simple furniture well. I appreciated the small rustic touches, like having mason jars with handles for drink glasses. Our waiter was super-nice and patient and accomodating. Wish I could remember his name.... He talked us through the wine list and helped us settle on a Malbec/Cabernet Blend. It was delicious and went so well with our meal. For apps, we had the bacon-wrapped dates and brown bag homemade potato chips. The dates were the perfect mix of sweet and salty and the potato chips were addictive! The chips are sprinkled with salt and parmesan cheese. Airy, savory and again, ADDICTIVE! For my entree, I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, which wasn't on the menu but I requested it and the waiter was happy to have the kitchen oblige. The chicken was strips of breast meat, coated and fried to a great crisp. I mean, it was *just a sandwich* but what a delicious sandwich!! I also tasted both the Skirt Steak Sandwich and Charleston Chicken Salad Sandwich. The steak was so tender and juicy and the chicken salad was soooo good. Mmmm!!! For dessert, we indulged in Michy's Cupcakes. Overall a good experience. I'm glad Whisk moved to this larger space and changed the hours so that everybody can enjoy what they have to offer. My only two things to note are that the acoustics weren't the best so it was quite loud in there. We had to shout at each other to hold conversation. It's been a while since I've been so I'm hoping they've fixed that by now. Also, the parking was a bit of a headache.

Dem' Shrimp n' grits is good! The bacon wrapped, gorgonzola stuffed dates were my favorite appetizer. Their bag potato chips are perfect, nothing extra or fancy just perfect. The fried green tomatoes were also something I'd order again. 1/2 of the table ordered the breaded veal skirt steak; the other 1/2 ordered the low country shrimp n'grits. (The asparagus that came with the veal was the best I've ever had. Not drowning in hollandaise sauce but grilled) Both were great, but I loved my shrimp n' grits more. The problem I encountered is my 2 year old ate 1/2 my shrimp. (Yes they were blackened and so a little spicy, my daughter loves shrimp and can handle a little spice.) They were accommodating and let me order just some extra shrimp so I actually had some shrimp to eat with my grits. Now, deserts! Berries and cream, bread pudding, key lime pie, chocolate flour-less cake. I liked my berries and cream the best. I like the simple look, service was great, and we will be returning.

Looooove it and can't wait to go back. So this place was somewhat hard to find. It's located in the back of South Miami bordering where the family homes start and the parking lot is quite small. So, we parked in the garage (the cheaper one) & walked over. It's super cute and also super on trend with mason jars and simple yet modern furniture. I ordered the B.L.T. sandwich with fries and had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. The fried green tomatoes are sooo delicious, just deliciously battered, deep fried most likely, and taste nothing like I expected. The sandwich was delicious as well, very juicy and flavorful. It seems like they use fresher ingredients than other restaurants I've been to. Our waiter was also very cute and friendly which is always a plus. Pros: Delicious food, trendy, good for groups, no wait time, good looking workers, located in South Miami. Cons: Specific location IN South Miami, seating (higher tables seat you directly next to strangers, which can sometimes get awkward), kind of pricey for what you get, somewhat loud atmosphere (can literally hear all pots/pans).

I recently opened the listing for Whisk to double check their address, and did a head slap when I realized I hadn't reviewed this restaurant yet. The first time I came to Whisk it was for an Elite event at their former location for a CMYE back in early July, 2009. On that night I had their burger with muenster cheese, cole slaw, grilled Spanish onion, lettuce, tomato and BBQ sauce with a side of their homemade potato chips and it was heaven! Since then I'd been to Whisk's former location a few other times. This past January, I went to their new location in the vicinity of Sunset Place to meet up with several other Yelpers for dinner. Their new location has a dining area that's easily 4 times larger than the one at their original building, but even though they have more people dining here and more people to serve, the food quality doesn't seem to have suffered at all. I'd only eaten a salad for lunch on the day we came here and we didn't arrive until about 7:30 p.m., so I was very hungry when we first sat down. I had an order of their homemade brown bag potato chips as an appetizer (which are incredible if you top them with a bit of sea salt from one of the grinders that's on the tables). For my entree, I had their roasted turkey and brie cheese sandwich with cranberry mayo, tomatoes and arugula. It was really tasty, and everyone else at the table commented on how great their food was and how happy they were with their meals. For dessert I tried their key lime pie which was some of the best I'd eaten. A few of the people at our table commented that they're not even big fans of key lime pie, but they love the slices served up here at Whisk. The only critical comment I'd make is that parking in front of the building and on the street where Whisk is located is very limited. Also, they do check the meters on SW 57th as well, as a few got tickets when their meters expired while they were dining. Aside from that, Whisk is a welcome addition to this neighborhood, and I'm very pleased to see that they've been able to increase the number of patrons they can serve in their dining area, while keeping up the quality of their food and the presentation. Next I need to return here on a Friday to try one of their burgers once again!

Still good but, they moved to South Miami and its not as good as I remembered :/ Still good though but- the parking and waiting kind of ruined the boutique feel this place used to have...

When you drive into the back street where this place is located and see the parking lot full of Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari and the odd Rolls Royce, you know this place is going to be special. And it lives up to the promise. Things I like 1) Everything on the menu. It's really good. The burger is as good as people say. A lot of their sandwiches are great - I like the Shrimp Po Boy, the various types of steak sandwiches, and the Turkey and Brie sandwich. The cheddar and pimento toast points and the fried green tomatoes are good to share. The spicy seared beef is my favorite of the mains. 2) Great desserts. Key Lime Pie is good, but the Berries Romanov is my favorite. 3) Friendly staff and service. 4) Casual relaxed atmosphere suitable for Southern Florida. 5) Always room to eat at the bar. Things to improve 1) Parking is difficult.

There's nothing trendy about Whisk. It's just good Southern style food done right. Yes, parking is tight, the dining space is relatively small and it is insanely popular just about any hour of the day. But their service is on mark, food comes out fast and hot, and tables turn over quickly. Order whatever strikes your fancy. It's all good.

3 years, that's how long it's been since I started coming to Whisk. And the only thing I can say for certain is that it's gotten better with age. It recently moved and I, probably like many regulars was awaiting the new space. I've been back four times since their re-opening and I'm impressed with their growth. They've added some new dishes, the space is bigger, the parking is still bad (and to be fair the supply will never meet the demand; unless they owned a parking garage) and the staff is still as friendly as ever. Besides, they still have the familiar favorites from the former digs. New standout - the chicken wings, just say yes! Coming soon - Beer & Wine! until then call to confirm they're still in BYOB phase

When a craving comes along, you must Whisk it. For a yummy time at lunch, you must Whisk it! Whisk it, (watoosh!) Whisk it Good! Have you ever high-fived a million angels? I have. I believe it happened shortly after I bit into a date stuffed with gorgonzola cheese, and wrapped in bacon. It happened again when I had the shredded cheddar, parmesan, pimento, scallion spread with the dusted garlic toast points. By the time I got around to actually ordering my amazingly delicious entree - 2 burritos stuffed to the brim with pulled pork-lechon style, jasmine rice, black beans, pico de gallo, sliced avocado, cilantro & sour Cream .. I could only take down one burrito, and was pretty sad to be too full to keep eating. I felt as stuffed at the overflowing burrito in front of me. I literally pouted that I couldn't fit anymore! So, how good was it? I was back that night for New Year's Eve takeout . and a few days later for their daily special, Shrimp and Grits. (I'm a city girl with a Southern Heart, what can I say?) Basically, it's growing to an addiction of dangerous proportions, but the food is worth it. I love that it is local, fresh, and the location is cozy enough for a good lunch time or dinner gathering. Parking-well- the gates to Heaven come at a price. Prepare to battle it out with the Parking Vultures or do some walking. Believe the hype. Believe the glory. and leave room for dessert!

My spicy chili steak was fantastic. Was not pleased with the up-charge for substituting my rice for succotash when it was the waitress's idea. Management removed the charge without so much as an "sorry about that." No offer of coffee or desert, just the revised check. Got there early so parking was no problem. But it looked like a mess when we left as the place was getting crowded. I found the wait staff uninspired and disinterested. My only complaint as the rest of the meal and experience was good. Would go back but not in a hurry.
(3)Myriam V.
Just had dinner at Whisk for the first time. The food was fresh, delicious and the service was excellent. I can't say enough good things!! Rarely do I write reviews unless something is extremely good or extremely bad.
(5)Laura G.
Not too shabby! My lovely friend stephanie finally got me to try whisk for our lunch date last week. I was pressed on time and leaving to Italy soon, she decided it would be a great idea to have some southern fair. I drove around a bit trying to find parking in the wrong spot and decided to wait for Steph so SHE (a Whisk veteran) could show me where to go. I can't say I was a fan of the walk in 110 degree heat to this hidden little gem in a strip mall, but I was greeted with large mug of cold water, which certainly made all these worries 'melt away.' When we got there was a so loud and crowded that we couldn't hear each other so we ate quickly, which is part why I gave this place four stars (the other is because I just don't understand why anyone would ever decide to make fried chicken with chicken breast). I had my very first taste of Fried Green tomatoes, which I must say they taste a bit like mozzarella sticks, clearly not my favorites. Next we ordered the dates, which were downright amazing, thick cut bacon and a very nice filling and to finish off our meal we tried the pulled pork with juuuust the right amount of BBQ and a very well made cornbread. All in all, I would be more than happy to come back here -you know- for quality control.

Each individual dish has it's own delight, from the homey feel of the appetizers to the more rich in flavor main dishes with a variety of options from sandwiches to the slow cooked to perfection beef.
(4)Jose M.
This place is awesome: great service, even better food. I recommend the dates and the pork sliders. The decoration is really cool too.
(4)Sabrina L.
Whisk is kinda hidden behind Sunset place, but don't let that fool you, this place was pretty crowded on a Tuesday Night. Decided to go with a small appetizer , ordered the hummus, my friend had the cheese appetizer which I ate most of because it was so damn good!! but at this time...cannot recall the name; and my other friend tried the burrito. but the highlight overall were the potato chips!!!! soooooooo good!! u must try it! Gotta come here again and try more dishes!
(4)Brian C.
I think this place is overrated. I read the reviews and gave it a couple chances. The parking is horrible. The lot is small and can only fit a couple of cars. There is parking in the alley, but I've never seen a spot open up there. Onto the food. The food is decent. I wouldn't go to say that it is amazing or anything, but just decent. I had the fried chicken and it was moist, but wasn't that flavorful. Each bite seemed like it was missing something. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either...just ok. The burrito, however, was awful. I'm from LA so I know a good burrito when I have one. This wasn't it. Dry and tasteless, I struggled through it. Was not good at all. The only good thing I had was the cornbread. It was moist and a solid piece of cornbread. The butter that went with it was good as well. I slathered it all over the cornbread and ate a butter drenched piece of cornbread. The place is small tucked in the middle of a back alley. If you don't look out for it, you'll definitely miss it. The staff is friendly and attentive which is a plus. Service was always good when I went, but the food didn't live up to the reviews.
(3)Diany S.
Now this place was seriously packed when I went. Finding parking is a bit of a problem. I forgot exactly what I ordered, but I do remember it was good.
(4)Carol P.
Best overpriced fried chicken I've ever had! Amazing mashed potatoes and love their sweet tea!!
(4)Michelle B.
I ate here few days ago for lunch and want to try breakfast if they have it. If you can get a table i recommend it. There brussel sprouts in some aioli sauce are superb and there cornbreads good also. They have great sandwiches. It's crowded and cramped and the service was decent but good food.
(4)Jacob C.
I could have sworn that I wrote a review about Whisk already considering the numerous times I've been there...but I guess not. If I could honestly give Whisk more then 5 stars I would. I went to the old Whisk and I've been to the new Whisk and it has never disappointed me. Everything that they serve is absolute perfection. I won't bother wasting any time talking about the old Whisk location considering you can't go there anymore. The new one is hidden on a back street close to Sunset Place. You might wanna break out the GPS to find it if you're not familiar with the area. Parking can be a little scarce...especially because they just opened so a lot of people have been going. Everything on the menu is worth getting...and I really mean that....EVERYTHING!! They have different specials everyday so you might want to take a glance at the specials board because those are always great as well. If you really want to try yourself to something nice, you'll go to Whisk on a Friday and have the burger special. They only serve the burgers on Friday...and every Friday its a different one. I've had burgers all over Miami and I can honestly say that their burgers are hands down the BEST in Miami! My favorite burgers are the Blue Smoke burger and the Short Rib Burger....my mouth is actually starting to water thinking about them. I think I'm going to go to Whisk right now just because I'm writing this review!
(5)Caroline H.
Whisk is an excellent place, and truly a gem in Miami. I started eating there right after they opened and quickly became a fan. The prices are excellent for the food they have. They have a large selection of sandwiches that I usually order from, large entrees with classic meals, and a bunch of different appetizers. The food there is so packed with flavor, I always end up scarfing down my meal in about 5 minutes. The dessert is delicious, and when I'm in the mood to really treat myself I get the bread pudding. The service is wonderful, and I've never had to wait for a table more than 15 minutes. The only downside is the parking. The only time I can get a spot in their tiny lot is about 3-4 pm in the afternoon, or right before they close. This is, however, typical for a lot of South Miami restaurants. It is also a bit loud inside, as the whole place is concrete, but that doesn't bother me. I can honestly say that the food there is the best tasting food I have ever eaten, and the prices are great. I eat there almost every week!

When we decided to try this place we were on a bit of a time crunch. We only had an hour and a half before a movie we were seeing started across the street, and there was a 40 minute wait for a table. We decided to suck it up and have some wine at the crowded bar while we waited. Unfortunately, at the time they only served beer and wine. My S/O is always let down by that since she doesn't drink beer and needs to be in a wine mood--which isn't often (so high maintenance). I, on the other hand, love wine anytime. Once we were sat we told our server about the movie we were trying to make and the stepped up service was surely appreciated! The food was also great! Being from Atlanta, the atmosphere and Southern cuisine was a little touch of home for us. I would certainly recommend this place. Try to hit it on an off-night. The parking is limited and so is the seating.
(4)Bill B.
A great little spot in an out-of-the-way location. Great find. Had it not been recommended I'd never have have found it! I went there for an early dinner. The appetizer, salad and dinner were excellent. My date had a dish with which she was very pleased. While both of us enjoyed our dinners, we also got the dessert menu and had difficulty with the ultimate decision as they all looked excellent. Settling on the peanut butter pie it was great but a bit larger than we could finish. Not complaining, just a comment. Would love to go back. It is a Miami version of southern cooking. Pretty good version too as the menu's items are excellent.
(4)Iletuno E.
This is a favorite for a quality, reasonable meal with a nice, casual atmosphere. I once had a piece of Key Lime Cake that I'll never forget. Amazing
(4)Jeff A.
Amazing! Had to try the fried green tomatoes AND the bacon wrapped dates - fantastic! I had the chicken & spinach salad ... just as good! I just wish I had some room for dessert.
(5)Monica D.
Whisk is a unique restaurant with its Southern style food presented in a sofisticated style and in a chic & casual setting. The place has a lively feel to it since voices bounce off the walls as if you are in dining hall. My sandwhich was nothing less then decadent, stacked up high, it had fried green tomatoes, a fried egg, bacon, greens and other delicious things in it which I can't remember but combined to make an amazing flavour. The sauce especially. I asked what was in the sauce and I can't remember the ingredients because it was like ten different things which also combined to make delicousness. Home made fries and lemonade topped this all off. The server was enthusiastic about the food ..and really knowledgable about it too! It's tucked away in a dark street but its well worth finding this treasure and you'll be surprised to see there's lots of people there late on a week night.
(4)Greg B.
I had to take my buddy to the airport the other day, he was here on R&R with his family visiting his parents before heading back to Ft Bragg to ship out to Afghanistan. It was a pretty emotional goodbye- his mother was crying, wife was sobbing and kids wouldn't let him go. Driving over to Miami international he was getting a little worked up, rare to see for a guy whose deployed as much as he has. I asked him what the deal was and he looks over at me and says "I'M GONNA MISS BURGER FRIDAY AT WHISK!" So there you go folks, if the only thing on a guys mind whose about to roll out to the shiznicks is missing those tasty gourmet whisk burgers--well then you know what I had to do. Told his dumbass to get the eff' out of my ride so I can get to Whisk. Here's the data Food: My idea of gourmet. I recently had the mahi mahi sandwich, fresh tomato, mutli grain bread and a good dijon sauce. Not going to talk about the burgers , just look at the pictures and they speak for themselves. They also have these cheese potato chips that were damn good. To top it off I ordered a black coffee and the waitress was happy to hear that because they don't have any cortaditos or espresso here.... Atmosphere: I've been here twice and both times this place was packed and I'm talking like people about to shoot each other for parking spots packed. Here's a tidbit, if the parking lot is full drive around the corner and drop a few bucks for a metered spot. Service was good, especially considering the amount of folks being served. Excellent food, good service and atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back here again.
(4)Robert D.
Amazing food and service. This is the place that you will never feel like you waste your money. A classic Miami restaurant that you can go with your parents, friends or date. PS try the cornbread and aged white cheddar cheese dip!!!! Only reason Im giving it 4 stars is because I feel they overcharge you for beer. Unless Im fist pumping to a Lady Gaga song at 3am in some club I shouldn't be charged $8 for a beer.
(4)Natasha S.
I had heard about this place several times and finally made the trek down to south Miami to try it out. I like the design of this place with all the pictures of the whisks everywhere. I had the roasted turkey and Brie sandwich. The sandwich itself was a good portion though they skimped on the Brie. I also had the bacon covered dates with Gorgonzola filling which were very good. Yes, the parking is a pain but I don't hold it against them. I thought that not sitting one person in a party of two was also a bit much but I let it slide. What I do hold against them is their "splitting fees." It is ridiculous when a place tries to nickel and dime you. However, the food itself does warrant a second look.
(3)Tanya L.
O.M.G.! Thank you Ramon for introducing this place to us! I have heard about this place before but did not really believe that the burgers could be that great. Well they proved me wrong!!! Every Friday they make a different burger and in order to try it you have to prepay and reserve. We reserved 4 burgers in advance so that they could prepare them for us this Friday. The place is very small and it is located in a plaza. Parking is not that great. After finally parking we walked in around 6:30pm and they close at 7pm. The place was filled with people and we had to wait for a while to be seated. Finally we get a table and not less than 5 or 10mins later we receive our burgers! It was a Sweet Onion & Bacon burger that consist of 8oz. Naturally Raised Sirloin Patty, Caramelized Spanish Onions, Neuske Bacon, Double Cream Havarti Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato & Dijon on Onion Challah Bun. with House Chips. I am not a onion fan but this burger was delicious. I tend to never finish my food. But this baby disappeared in a heartbeat. When they brought out the burgers several people leaving the restaurant were a little upset and stated "oh you are the lucky ones who reserved the burgers" They were jealous they could not try them. ha ha. Next time reserve! We ended up being the only ones left in the restaurant and the employees were very friendly. They chatted with us and made sure we were satisfied. We even met the chef! For dessert they recommended the key lime pie. Again I am not a dessert fan but figured I would give it a try. They left me speechless. It was the best favor I had tried! If I lived closer I think I would be there every Friday to try all the new burgers. But since I don't live close I think I will be making several trips back on fridays when I have the chance! Everyone should definitely try this place!!
(5)Katy S.
Bleh, I don't see what all the fuss is about. The location is awesome, right by Sunset Place. But the food was pretty mediocre. I had the Turkey, Avocado, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, & Dijon for 7.95. I expected a lot more from this place due to the ranting reviews on Yelp. But I really didn't think it was a life changing sandwich. Maybe it's because I've had one of the best sandwiches of my life in NYC and always compare any sandwich to that place. LOL. Would I give it another try when I'm in the area? Sure. I'm always big on second chances ;)
(3)Michael M.
2nd time here in a week... Any place that serves fresh fish, whether in a sandwich or a platter is a home run for me! Love it! Berry cheesecake for dessert, of boy!!
(4)Caro D.
The new location is great! So much more space, although parking outside of their tiny lot probably means coughing up money to a meter - it is much safer than jay-running across LeJeune during a busy Tuesday lunch hour. Along with more parking, the new location now offers more time: Whisk now serves dinner! Open till 10 PM most days and 11 PM Friday and Saturday makes this an easy weeknight meal out with friends, or weekend date. The atmosphere is still pretty casual and they kept the communal table idea for some diners, which while short on elbow space does encourage you to meet new people - or just eavesdrop, whichever suits you. (I usually eavesdrop, some of the people watching is pretty choice with Lourdes Academy so close by) Food-wise, it's still the same great menu so many other yelpers have raved about. The potato chips are still crisp perfection, the spicy beef is still delicious. They've added a few new items (or items that I looked over before) to go with the new decor, but I've only tried the bacon-wrapped date (incredible) so I can't speak for the others.
(5)Dana R.
This is your quintessential neighborhood spot that is always brimming with people who are antsy to get their hands on some of their specialties (think fried green tomatoes and brown bag potato chips- yum). As soon as you walk in you will feel a sense of home. No snooty waiters, no astronomical prices, and nothing on the menu that needs a lesson in pronunciation. You will find yourself oohing and aahing at others' plates as you make your way to your table, trying frantically to figure out what you will order. Decisions, decisions. You will wish you had invited a few more friends along so you could manipulate the ordering schedule, expertly putting yourself in a position to try as many items as possible. I can help make this process just a little easier for you- do not miss out on the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola. The combination is sweet and savory and you almost feel like you're eating dessert first! Next up is the entree. You really can't go wrong but I will tell you that the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad is to die for. Don't be fooled by the word 'salad' - this is as indulgent as is gets.
(4)Erin L.
I went here on a whim one night with my mother and boyfriend. All of us walked away a little happier, because of how great our meal was! We started out with the fried green tomatoes and the pimento cheese appetizers. We were so smart to get both because the combination was to die for! I am pregnant so I stuck with the soda of the day it was grapefruit basil, yum! I was so impressed by the fried green tomatoes that I got them in a sandwich, fantastic. My boyfriend got the burritos. They were not a typical burrito, but man were they delicious, and I was quite a large portion. My mother got the shrimp and grits, she won. Every bite made her smile! I, of course, had to get dessert. I went with the peanut butter pie. My boyfriend, who does not like peanut butter, and me, who loves peanut butter both went crazy for it. Even though we were both full, we had to finish it. If you haven't been here, you MUST go! It is my favorite restaurant in Miami!
(5)I. P.
We lucked out on a random walk-in and got seated promptly at the bar. Was half expecting the usual overrated eatery in a Miami. Ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich. shrimp and grits, and fried green tomatoes. We were blown away. So simple yet so good. The pork tenderloin did not taste like any pork I'd tasted. Delicate, juicy, tender, and flavorful...are you sure this us pork??? The shrimp and grits...fresh and grits done right from scratch. I order grits whenever I can. One of the best. Green fried tomatoes with a nice cool buttermilk sauce. Light and perfect lunch. Minus one star for the service. Bartender who served us seemed annoyed or bored at having to take food orders and maybe because we did no order alcohol? Everyone else at the bar seemed to be grabbing lunch besides us. Don't know if she gave them the same "experience" as us. Would love to go back next time we're in town.
(4)Christy G.
Whisk is a trendy restaurant in the heart of South Miami. I have to say, the fried tomatoes are so well done, the bacon wrapped dates are super tasty and may I add...I have never tasted such a DELICIOUS fried mangrove snapper. The mangrove snapper is a special so I call ahead to see if they have it. I gave it 4 stars because the service is just ok. Regardless, i would go back to Whisk in a heartbeat!
(4)Christine I.
This is hands-down my favorite place to eat in Miami - probably because it reminds me the most of home. A native of Jacksonville, dinner consisted of family around the table, fried southern goodness and the sharing of great stories. This is exactly what you find at whisk - and the food is even better! (don't tell my mom!) A gourmet restaurant with an intimate setting, you can always expect to sit next to a stranger at whisk and enjoy dinner with people you may have never met otherwise. Their rustic and charming décor takes the mood even further and makes it really feel like a family table. Lets be honest though, you don't only come to whisk for the atmosphere, you come for their AMAZING food. I have eaten here multiple times and have always been pleased. Their fresh ingredients are mixed with southern inspiration to give you the perfect gourmet meal. My go-to sandwich is the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with pimento cheese, bacon and spring mix. The warmth of the tomatoes melts the cheesy spread even further, its sweetness meshing with the salt of the bacon for a delectable taste. Their burrito is also amazing and comes with 4 pieces, perfect for sharing or taking home for leftovers. My favorite appetizers include their sweet cornbread and bacon wrapped figs. I have yet to make it for burger Friday but intend to try in the very near future as I am sure it will blow my taste buds out of the water!
(5)Jessica C.
WHY IS EVERYTHING AT WHISK DELICIOUS?! WHY!? Honestly what is there to say that hasn't already been said? The place is super small, the seating is limited, food is uber delicious, staff is uber friendly, parking and waiting sucks but totally worth it, burger Fridays are the best day to go and the prices are reasonable. I've had the bacon cheddar burger, Whisk burritos, fried green tomato sandwhich, hummus, ceviche, yeah the list goes on and on. This place rocks my world and even though they're moving further away from my job, Whisk is most definitely worth the drive!
(5)Michelle W.
So, I was really hoping to like this place more..... but sadly I think you need to be a carnivore to really like this place. I went to lunch here with a friends and we had the hummus for an appetizer. Unless you like your hummus heavy on the cumin and on the thick dry side, I do not recommend. I prefer a more creamy texture and a more even blend of flavors. I ordered the shrimp po boy sandwich (which was one of the specials that day), however I like the one at the Alibi much better. This one was just okay. The shrimp was breaded in a cornmeal batter and were cooked well. The sauce really didn't have much flavor. If I eat here again I will try a different sandwich. They don't have many non-meat options, but do have a couple of seafood sandwiches. I think you get get better sandwiches for better prices elsewhere (if you're not a burger eater). The service was fine and like everyone mentioned....make sure you know where you are going. There is no sign-age and you can park in a metered lot across the street. (the lot there is exceptionally small).
(3)Taylor P.
Place is dynamite! Affordable and delicious! Highly recommend checking this place out!
(4)Stephanie E.
Whisk is one of Miami's best hidden gems. Not only is the service wonderful every time but the food has always been delicious. We've tried the biscuits, fried green tomato salad, spicy carrot soup, chicken salad sandwich, turkey/avocado sandwich, pork loin chop and the bread pudding (to die for!). Whenever you, it's packed but the wait for a table isn't very long. The team does a good job at rotating the tables and filling them quickly. The bar area is also very nice as well. Just do yourself a favor and go! We've gone twice and can't stop raving about it.
(5)Melanie A.
Innovative and delicious. Perfect sized menu and each dish is special. Definitely recommend!
(5)Dominique C.
I have never had anything that even slightly resembles how amazing whisk is in miami. Every time I have gone, the quality is impeccable! You can tell that every bite of food there will be very fresh and maybe even organic/free range. My favorite appetizer is the bacon wrapped dates, filled with cheese! The tuna sandwich is amazing (hits the spot). The shrimp and grits are on point! Everything, just everything is always more than perfect! I would recommend this place to even the snobbiest food friend! You can't really complain unless its noise and space related or maybe because they just ran out of their amazing pork chops.
(5)Crystel L.
The good was excellent and so was the service! Split the fried chicken and steak sandwich with my friend, and both were delicious. I love that they have beer from local (meaning somewhere in Florida) breweries available. The parking is such a hassle, but that's South Miami as a whole, so not the restaurant's fault. Great overall experience.
(5)Elizabeth B.
Unfortunately I cannot give them a life review. Amazing Southern food is hard to find in Miami and Whisk hardly meets that expectation. I had great hope for an unforgettable experience but I ended with one I hope to forget. I had the Lychee sangria which was actually quite delicious but I cannot speak the same for the pimento cheese app. This course was boring and consisted of more cheep Sysco mayo and Parmesan cheese than pimento flavor. The buttermilk fried chicken salad was just as boring because it was basically 3 chicken tenders sitting atop overdressed spinach leaves and yet I was begging for some kind of seasoning!!!! My fiancée had the braised molasses BBQ pork ribs which him growing up in South Carolina and Tennessee was no where near satisfied with. Dessert was ok, we shared the peanut butter mousse pie. In past reviews there were many complaints about the service and I see why, they give you your space and aren't constantly hassling you I like this about them I go out to dinner to enjoy the company of my friends or family not to carry on awkward convo with my server. I'm not too sure what Guy Fieri saw in his trip but I wish it was present in my evening. The place was packed on a Tuesday so if you like sub par food and talking so loud your ears ring and fighting to find a parking spot please stop in this restaurant immediately, but If your looking for your southern food fix keep searching!!!!
(2)Anna D.
This restaurant was not recommended by my circle of friends. They all had warned me about the horrible service. However, I did want to give it a try... What a mistake. Last night our server lost some of the money of our tab, that money was counted not 1 but 3 times by the ladies in my table. After we paid she came back to the table to return us cash!!! We still stayed there for a while talking. Once we decided to leave and we were waiting for our car, because it was raining, the waitress came back and told us that we didn't pay enough. I asked her how much we were short by and she replied "no I'm not short on the tab I'm short on my tip". Manager came outside to assess the situation and ended snatching money out of my hand. He didn't confirm what we said and didn't care to treat his costumers right. What a disgusting experience, I will never go back to that establishment and I will make sure everybody knows what those unprofessional and uneducated people are doing. There's plenty of better places in the area, that I will rather give my money to. Never again!!!!
(1)Sebastian T.
Went to lunch after my ABPM&R Board exam, could not have chosen a better spot. Had a beer and the seared steak in a spicy coconut sauce! Made me forget about the exam and just put me in a whole better mood. The lunch crowd was thick when I got there around 2pm but since I was alone I was able to grab a spot at the bar. The crowd dispersed around 2:45pm. Even though the restaurant was full the service did not waver one bit and I had my food within 10 minutes of me putting the order in. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in Miami.
(5)Rachel P.
I know, 2 stars for Whisk, say what?! I must have gone and lost my mind! Well the reason is exactly what the stars suggest, "Meh. I've experienced better." First off, how in the world can you even have a conversation in this place without screaming the entire time you are there-mind you this is 2pm on a Tuesday!! It's pretty difficult to get caught up with friends when the room is SO obnoxiously loud and full of several infants! I know, I know..moms need to get out too, but geez, the acoustics in this place pure out suck. And then you get a waiter who is anything but friendly, it makes your dining out experience even worse. Actually, I don't think I even saw any of the waiters smile the entire time we were there. I get it, you're busy, but maybe throwing on some charm or even a welcoming smile will get you a better tip! As for the food, I am pretty disappointed that you can't have half a sandwich with soup or salad or really half of anything. When I asked our waiter he pretty much just said, "No" and didn't offer any suggestions. So needless to say, there are way better lunch spots in Miami where I don't leave with a huge ass headache.
(2)Valerie G.
Amazingly fresh meals everyday. I love this place. You would never expect to find such a great place in such a small street. It seems to be hidden. (Guess that's a good thing as mostly locals come here) Once you walk in you'll fall in love with this place. It's small and cozy. Service is great!

Everyone seems to love this place. I find it just ok. They have all right beers on their menu, and I do love corn bread, but it's hard for me to find something on the menu that really excites me, and the open kitchen will leave you smelling funny for a bit. Call ahead! This place is little and it gets PACKED!

Went here twice already for lunch. One on a monday which was super crowded but I think its due to the spring breakers and one on a sat at 3pm, an off hour. Seating might take a bit if you're coming at prime times but the staff is pretty quick. They're very attentive and will get your order right away. Appetizers: Fried Green Tomatoes: AMAZING def a try if you haven't them, the buttermilk dip makes it even more yummy. Fried corn with spicy butter (comes in 3s) is also a good try. Sandwiches: All of them are great, def get it with the toasted multigrain bread it adds another dimension of flavor. I had the roasted turkey with brie, the turkey with avacado (def a must try), and the skirt steak sandwich. The sandwiches are def big enough to share so try splitting some with friends. Salad: Friend had the skirt steak salad, good portion, fresh greens and great dressing Everything is super fresh and theres even a sitting area right in front of the kitchen to watch them prepare it. There are burger specials on friday to mix it up. Parking is right around the side for FREE but can get full during lunch hrs. Meter parking is available across the street

food continues to be divine. parking, on the other hand, sucks!

Dear Whisk, you built me up, let me down, and built me up again. After reading so many great reviews on here I was expecting nothing but perfection, however, I was a tad disappointed. Strike 1: You were out of your soup of the day, Potato & Goat Cheese w/ Crumbled Bacon. I was craving this so badly, and when I get there - ZIP! All gone. If one offers soup of the day, it should have enough soup to last the whole. entire. day. Strike 2: The "Warm" Homemade Corn Bread w/ Scallion & Honey Butter - how sad. Three chunks of room temperature, stale corn bread with this... lukewarm honey butter mush. I guess it's something you just "whisked" together. Strike 3: The WHISK Gourmet Burritos - kinda bland, nothing exciting. OOOh but I did find a nice surprise in mine: a chunk of ginger. Yummy. When I asked the waiter what it was he said it was not supposed to be in there, but then returned to tell me it's what they cook the jasmine rice with, so it was a mistake. They were kind enough to comp the burrito. Good service! Despite the above going sour... the vegetable fried rice w/ chicken breast was FABULOUS. So tasty, perfectly seasoned, the chicken was perfect! And the star of the show... the one little item that made us realize we will have to come back despite our not so stellar first experience: the key lime pie. OMG. Perfection. So tart, so sweet, that crust... yum! Well done, Whisk! We will be back to try your burgers and hopefully your Goat Cheese and Potato Soup.

EVERYTHING is great on the menu, love coming here. Great service and beers

Went here yesterday night for the first time and boy was it packed! We actually only had to wait about 10 minutes, however, as we were only a party of 2 so they sat us quickly. We ordered the following things: (1) Pulled Pork and Cornbread, (2) Fried Green Tomatoes, (3) Whisk Burritos with Steak, and (4) Shrimp and Grits. The cornbread and tomatoes were absolutely perfect. The cornbread was nice and moist and had that little bit of sweetness that it is supposed to have. The pork was very good as well and the BBQ sauce that came with it was good too, but I think it needs a little more drizzled over the top of the dish rather than on the sides. The tomatoes were very, very good and the breading on them was absolutely perfect as was the ranch to dip them in. I would get both of these dishes again. The Burritos were very good as well, but my only gripe with them were the sizes of the steak that were in them. They were absolutely huge and when you try to bite them down they do not break apart, which is never good. So, you're stuck with a large hunk of meat or having to eat this by taking everything apart. The burrito itself was very good even with this issue. Finally, the shrimp and grits were just okay for me because of the simple fact that it was almost like the dish wasn't even seasoned properly. I had to add salt and pepper to the dish just to get some semblance of flavor from the dish. Once I did this simple thing, the dish became instantly better. I think Whisk does a good job with their small menu and they always keep the diners informed when they run out of things (most of the desserts and some of the entrees ran out on Saturday night - so go early if you want to have a chance at some dishes). The hostess and wait staff were all helpful and very courteous and the prices were fair and I felt like I got my moneys worth. I will definitely be back in the future.

Had a very good burrito. Tasty meal at a average price. Great decor and good staff make this place great for a bite to eat before a movie.

I have heard about this place for years but never really felt a need to visit. Now after my third time, I would say that this place is fantastic americana food. I have tried something new every time I've dined and they have not disappointed. It is on the pricey side but you do get some real quality food. Especially the sandwhiches.
(5)Hilda H.
I don't know were to begin, but ill start by saying that it is worth waiting thirty minutes for parking. It is worth listening to the bickering of your partner because they are hungry and its taking to long to park. The sand-wishes here are heavenly, the soups are top gourmet, The portions are colossal and busting with flavor. The streak sand-which has a lot of steak an very tender. I tried the ahi tuna sand-which which was amazing, if you love sushi this is going to be just Le creme of Le creme for you. I tried the caramelized onion and potato soup, all i have to say is OMG :) . Definitely will be a regular at whisk and will tolerate the ridiculous parking or any-ones bitching just to get inside and try this food. The only thing i regret is not waiting last time until parking was found because this is the most incredible place for sandwiches Ive been to. You can also make any sandwhich into and entree. Deli Lane has nothing on this place.
(5)Christina R.
Found this restaurant on Yelp and I am so happy I did, I loved the food and the atmosphere is very modern. Love the uniqueness of the entrees. Definitely coming back.

Again, the BLT add avocado was a hit. My boyfriend and I get it on thick, fresh wheat bread and rave to each other with just wide eyed stares. We tried two new things today, a rare thing for us, as we like to stick to what we know at Whisk. Instead of the buttermilk chicken wings, we went with Panko Breaded Pork Flat Iron "Masitas," which are not your abuela's masitas de puerco (see pic). Loved! For dessert, we shared a slice of cake, which today was carrot cake. Salivation! We even got a to-go slice for my boyfriend's dad, a carrot cake connoisseur. Our server was attentive and pleasant. We love Whisk!
(5)Urban G.
The new location is larger and quite lovely. We went on a Monday night. The restaurant was packed. We ordered a glass of wine at the bar whilst waiting for our table. The crowd was a bit of a mixed bag. Mostly middle aged, overweight bordering on obese. The staff is fantastic. Hostess was efficient. Bartender tended bar and our waitress was helpful, cheerful and knowledgable. Attractive staff. Our food was delicious. We ordered a few appetizers and the standout were the brussel sprouts. Yum! Yum! I ordered the grouper with spicy peanut sauce. So delicious was this dish. The parking is a pain in the toukas. The location is off the beaten path but its worth a visit.
(4)Rebecca C.
Please don't go to Whisk Gourmet; I want to keep it all to myself. Yes, it is small. It is crowded. And it's not for groups. Twenty people fit max. There will probably be a wait. Nope, it doesn't have a sign. There's barely parking. And the place isn't really decorated. But what it does have... do I really have to tell you? They have the best tuna sandwiches, mahi sanwiches, homemade lemonade, freshly made fingerling chips, and keylime pie worth fighting for, that means you! They take care of you like if you were a guest in their home. They have new specials daily, check online, to keep us coming back. They have a devoted fan club, now including me.

Great roast turkey salad
(4)Stacie H.
Introduced by some friends, Whisk has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. I come with my friends, mom and son. I recommend it to anyone who will listen. I love the Fried Green Tomatoes and the Hanger Steak Sandwich. The staff are very friendly and quick. They are really great about water refills! Their desserts are really good and never too sweet. If you like good and hearty comfort food, you will love Whisk.
(5)Carla L.
How many ways do I love thee Whisk? Let me count the ways... Finally, we have made it to the Holy Grail which is Whisk and yes, it was everything that was promised, and MORE. As everyone else has said the place is small. Imagine trying to put 15 - 20 diners in your tiny kitchen. This is what it feels like but if you have a problem with that you can get it to go. Two metal tables (6 people each) and two small tables, one for 2 people and one that fits 3. That is it. Again, worth it. Even though the girls they placed next to me had marshmallows for brains and were talking about the stupidest things I was able to ignore it out of the sheer deliciousness of what was being consumed!!! The amazing food saved them from intense slappage. Now, the food... may I say this was the best sandwich I have EVER eaten? I do not love sandwiches, not my first choice a any point and I HAD come for Burger Friday, however the appeal of an Oven Baked Roast Beef with Goat Cheese won me over. I think I need to say this again, this was the best Sandwich I have EVER eaten. It comes close to the best THING I have ever eaten. I seriously kid you not my dear Yelpers. It was the perfect infusion of flavor, it had just enough sauce with a wee bit of horseradish, the cheese gave it just the right impact. There is much to be said about good food and food that is a rare creation. Few people know how to mix and match flavors to create something new and tantalizing, food can be art and few are true food artists. Michy Bernstein is one of those people, she is a food Artiste, so are the creations at Whisk. Hats off to you. Do NOT park at Havanna Harry's and you will most likely not find parking in front of Whisk. Pay at the meters across the street and put your life in the hands of traffic whizzing by, trust me its worth it. Yes, I did try my husbands burger and it truly was fantastic, however that Roast Beef sandwich was made in heaven just for ME.
(5)Rickie G.
Not to bad of a place. Nothing crazy good that I would make a long trip for, but if your in the area then it's worth a try. Maybe you will order something that will blow your mind like many other reviews. As for me I split a Avocado BLT and a hanger steak sandwich. The hanger steak was cooked the way I asked and tasted pretty good. The Avocado BLT sandwich had a good flavor also but the bacon didn't taste very fresh. Overall the staff was really friendly and you can tell the place has some good food potential. It gets four stars cause I will go back again.

It's been said that third time is a charm...and on my third try to finally enjoy a Whisk culinary sample - success !! We waited until a bit later to go "after lunch hour" hoping to be able to get a table without waiting, no such luck ! went inside and the owner very charmingly informed us that it would be around a 15 minute wait, to which a random diner gleefully chimed in that the place was totally worth the wait. Based on previous reviews and first hand account from some of our more respected Yelpers, we knew that we were in for a treat, so after thinking about it for 1.2 seconds, we decided that waiting was the best alternative. Initially, we ordered to go, with the option of eating in, should a table open before our food was ready - Lo and behold, our WAS ready right on time for us to take a place at the table, which in all fairness, makes it part of the whole experience. So the food - simply outstanding- Being Burger Friday, I opted for the burger of the day- this was no ordinary burger...it is hands down, by leaps and bounds, the BEST burger I've ever had. Not surprising though, this is no ordinary burger, in fact it is technically called a burger because of the way it is presented, but I would say that this is a Gourmet meal presented as a burger, all the ingredients are top notch, the beef is simply ....perfect !!! the vegetables on the burger are a top of the line salad and the cheese is just amazing ... to the point that you can totally remove the buns and eat this with a fork and knife and it is a fantastic meal. Oh yeah and the potato chips, out of this world ! I was allowed to take a bite ...or several from my partners sandwich - Baked Roast Beef Sandwich - and the best word I can use to describe it is FLAWLESS!! The food tells the story here, these are carefully created, prepared and presented dishes, that totally set Whisk Gourmet apart and puts it on top of the class. As for the experience, eating on stainless steel kitchen tables, sitting on stools, elbow to elbow with perfect strangers is totally unique and special. Embrace it ! Savor it ! Engage your table mates in conversation - the food makes you feel so good, that you will be totally satisfied and entertained. This unique dining experience leaves me secretly hoping that Whisk never decides to expand, relocate or change absolutely anything about them, it makes them special and unique and I selfishly like it that way.

Wow. I trusted my husband to find us some food near the Biltmore for a quick stop on our Coral Gables road trip from Miami Beach. The fact that he chose this suggests that I should let him pick more often! Seriously though, this is one of two places we ate in Coral Gables and both were memorable. Not only was food in all of Miami/South Florida awesome, but Coral Gables of all places also really impressed. We luckily arrived just after the opened and it was already busy. I was a little physically ill with poison oak (whole 'notha story) so I wasn't thrilled with the bar height stainless table with stools we ended up at. Since my mother-in-law (hereafter MIL) was along with us, I didn't mention it. Anyway, the server was very pleasant in a completely sincere way (another thing I found common in Miami throughout our travels!) and promptly asked for our drink order. We then proceeded to debate the menu and my MIL and I landed on the steak sandwich, an unusual choice for me and I think her as well. It came with a lovely salad on the side with a great dressing. We enjoyed it immensely. She was a little disappointed because from her vantage point, she had noticed the homemade potato chips were all the rage and we failed to order or substitute any. (In fact, she kept bringing it up and we seriously considered returning mainly for the chips, but also for the other great menu items.) My husband ordered the low country shrimp and grits and he really liked that as well. I am glad I didn't get it though because the grits seemed bland. My husband is a little bit of a grit snob though and he seemed to think that was how it was 'supposed' to be. I am inclined to think he's right. This was one of the best lunches we ate and everything felt fresh and interesting. I am a little sad we missed out on the chips and that we will have to travel about 3,000 miles to sample their items again. A great treat and well priced. Oh yea, one negative: parking is totally insane. I was driving a monster-sized rental and just gave up trying to park it well since this woman *insisted* on pulling out of her spot (even though I was almost in my space) before I could park, annoying the crap out of me.

So, I FINALLY made it over to Whisk Gourmet after months of envying all of my friends that work on the area while i'm stuck in Downtown all-the-time! If they were open on weekends, I would have paid them a visit earlier. Sadly, they're not. Before placing my takeout order I pulled the menu up on my iPhone and settled on the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Organic Spinach Salad with Shaved Red Onion, Local Avocado Slices, Chopped Egg, Cremini Mushrooms & Honey-Mustard Dressing. The salad really flavorful and quite good. The dressing went a long way. I didn't need the mushrooms, but the rest of it hit the spot. If i'd eaten there I could have taken advantage of their specials menu which looked really interesting, so i'm anxious to return to try one of their famous burgers everyone keeps raving about. Hopefully, it'll be soon.
(4)Keri L.
Came here for lunch with a couple friends. We planned on trying another place, but when my friend saw Whisk so close, she became overwhelmed with excitement and insisted we come to whisk instead. I'm so glad she did, this place is amazing! The place was packed, but we were still seated quickly. There was a slight delay in getting our orders, but not too long for the amount of people inside. I tried the bbq chicken sandwich, a creation so huge I had to eat it with a fork and knife. It was delicious, I savored end every bite! My friends enjoyed their meals as well. I would definely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty southern food with a modern twist.
(5)Chris C.
Simple comfort food deliciously elevated and executed. Great sandwiches and salads. But beware of some minor but annoying peripheral nits - parking is an absolute nightmare, you can be waiting for quite a while for a table during peak dinner time (not many tables and they don't take reservations for parties of fewer than six), and some of the patrons can be a little obnoxious. But come when it's slower and enjoy the cornbread and chicken!
(4)C R.
Parking is a bitch, but the food is great. Fresh, very tasty stuff.
(5)Jessica B.
Yummy, went with a friend for lunch, it was awesome, it was also my second time there as my first i had picked up lunch on the go. Great service, friendly staff, and divine food. this quaint little establishment has amazing plates. First we started with their buttermilk wings and their potao chips delish. Then my friend had the mahi sandwich tasted great but to much lettuce on it for my taste and I had the turkey and dried cranberry salad which was great. Finally we finished off with the best bread pudding, omg delicious. I definitely will be going back the only downfall is the parking. Its quite small for the amount of people that go to the restaurant.
(5)Ivan M.
Best lunch place in Miami - hands down. Easiest way to explain Whisk is an very nice Cracker Barrel. Exceptional comfort food, sandwiches, and deserts. Start with fried green tomatoes, and quickly move to the legendary burrito. Follow with a homemade blondie. And wash down with freshly squeeze lemonade. Seriously, stick to my menu, you won't regret it.
(5)carla c.
Don't know what the hype is all about! Food is okay and service is HORRIBLE! Went on a Wed and our server was on a "break" the entire time we were there. I had the green tomatoes, but how can you mess those up and a burrito that honestly Chipotle makes a better one. Not worth the wait or hassel!
(1)Shaan B.
Loved the food and beer selection here. Split the filet mignon sandwich and turkey sandwich with a co worker and a sour beer. Hardly ever see sour beer especially in Miami so that was pretty impressive. The other food looked amazing as well.
(4)H. Deborah S.
I've been back a couple of times now and can say that the owner must have heard the rally cry for more fresh items on the menu. The service and food was totally on point tonight. Amazing news flash for those who don't know - this is not a high art food delivery station. It's comfort food done well...very well tonight. I like they added so many great salads and veggie options. We knocked back some stellar beer selections, a couple of salads that were enormous and delicious, a fried chicken (excellent, if not a bit salty), and a sandwich without the bread. Oh yeah...and two deserts. The first was so good, we had to have another just to make sure we weren't dreaming. It's a busy place with limited parking in the lot, however, there is plenty of parking within a two block radius so don't let that keep you away. What ever you are doing...just keep doing it!
(4)Raquel D.
The service was excellent. Such nice staff and the food was really good. We went for Sunday brunch which is served until 4pm - which is awesome. Quality food for the price. It's a quaint and comfortable place. Their biscuits and jam are amazing. I will definitely return!
(4)Cathleen P.
Whisk never disappoints. We have always had amazing meals here. This past Sunday we had brunch at Whisk and everything was delicious. I had the vegetable quiche. My date had the eggs benedict, with perfectly poached eggs! A rarity in Miami. Needless to say Whisk is always at the top of my list. Great food, great ambiance.
(5)Terry L.
It started off as an echo, then a whisper, finally a scream of me having to try out this restaurant! I finally had to try this place and had high expectations coming in and I am happy to say that those expectations were met! You can easily drive past this place as it is located on a little road, one that I never had even drove on in my many years of shopping and even going to school within the vicinity. I expected this large store front with a large parking lot, instead I was met with a small parking lot and a small store front (which is great as it told me that this place is intimate and must be excellent with it having so many great reviews and it being hidden away). Upon entering, you notice so many things... The size of the place is pretty intimate, the ceiling's memorizing design, the open kitchen, the bar and the actual whisks designed to wrap around some lights as decor. Looking at the menu... I did not know where to start and what to order... Everything looked so good... I heard about the sandwiches and wanted to give that a shot but other things were poking out. I ended up ordering the following... Soda of the day - The flavor escapes me but as the waitress explained to me... It simply is Sizzling Water with a flavor added to it. I really did not care for it as it did not come across as "soda" just flavored water but kudos to a great concept. Fried Corn on the Cobb - This was amazing and so flavorful (maybe it was Cayenne-Honey Butter that was given to add on the corn). Due to it being fried it was a little crispy but kept the juiciness that you get when you sink your teeth into corn. Low Country Shrimp & Grits - As I don't care for cheese, I did not try this (my sister did) and she loved it. I'm surprised that they consider this as an appetizer as the amount given was alot and really filled her up prior to her entree. Warm Homemade Cornbread - This was so moist and had pieces of corn inside, not the best I've had, but it was warm and moist. Braised BBQ Chicken - This was my entree. It was well executed. The chicken was well cooked but the real star of the dish was the Molasses BBQ sauce that was placed over the chicken (it kept me licking my fingers). The mashed potatoes were the best, in fact, it was the best mashed potatoes I ever had and you could tell it was freshly made with real potatoes. BBQ Grilled Pork Chop - This was my sisters entree. She advised me that she did not care for the dish but advised that she was accustomed to it being made differently. Blue Crab & Roasted Corn Fried Rice - I took this as a to go dish. Unfortunately, I did not really care for it as it had a burnt aftertaste. It was simply crab meat sliced and placed in fried rice. Overall, I enjoyed myself and service was OK. I would definitely dine here again and would encourage you to do the same. As a note - Fridays are the only day that they serve burgers and I heard that they are very good.
(4)Amy Jo A.
Been wanting to have lunch here for a long time. Went with hubby and sister in law and was great. Lovely selection for lunch as far as salads and sandwiches go. Grilled sweet potatoe and asparagus salad yummy. Bread pudding for dessert. Parking is a bitch and that's why four stars. Something needs to change there and also no reservations. All in all worth going for. Also sister in law said quiche is great but only on Sunday.
(4)Lisa R.
All I can say, LOVE LOVE LOVE! Small, quaint, and totally cool gastro pub! Great for groups and beers with Amazing food! We had a crap load too! Brussel sprouts with maple bacon, fried green tomatoes with dipping sauce, pulled pork slides that I would marry if it was legal to do that sort of thing! Ha! And as a main course I had the pork chop! Dude, it was so big, like something out of the Flinstones! So friggin good! Plus the BEER!! Their menu is actually not elaborate, yet they have something for everyone! So many yummy craft beers to drink and enjoy! It was so great and refreshing to find this place in our own backyard! So come on down! What are you waiting for! GO! DO IT! You won't regret it!
(5)Lissette C.
Whisk'd away like I can't explain! I went for dinner and had Corn on the Cob (my favorite small plate of all time), fried chicken, mashed potatoes and broccoli. The food was A+, portions, timing and all. Our waiter was a little spaced out, but it wasn't bad enough to deter me from coming back. Bonus: the actual restaurant is the cutest, it feels like home.
(5)Mair M.
Second time eating here and figured it deserves a great review! First time I ate at the restaurant...this time I ordered to go. First experience...food was Delicious!! I had the turkey sandwhich. The only thing I dislike is the parking!! It is BAD!! they share a lot with other businesses in a small strip plaza and WILL TOW YOUR CAR if you don't park in the designated Whisk parking. Trying to find parking there is indescribably horrible! However when you do find parking...it's worth the hassle once you bite into the food. Today I ordered pulled pork sliders, corn bread and the fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes!!! All of them were so yummy!!! Will be back again!
(4)AntOnio Y.
Great place in a great location! The service is amazing. The crowd is great, very familiar. They serve cold beer which is rare in Miami. And to top it off good food. Highly Recomended
(5)Patty K.
Too busy. I love this place but I can never help feeling both impatient and rushed whenever I come. Makes me wish there were more places that offered this combo of what should be a cozy neighborhood spot and truly good casual food.
(4)Jialin Z.
This place was such a find in South Miami! I'm so glad I got the chance to go today. Highly recommend parking elsewhere in the area and walking to the restaurant (very limited parking). I ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with house chips and split the fried green tomatoes with a friend. The fried green tomatoes were excellent, especially with the sauce. The BBQ pork sandwich was also super delicious and the servings were generous (I wasn't able to finish it). The ambience was nice and homey, though it was a bit loud and I think my friend and I had to speak louder than usual to communicate. Well worth the trip! I'd love to try the cornbread, skirt steak salad, and desserts next time.
(5)Francisco S.
Make sure you start with the fried green tomatoes! Nice little place to have a meal. Not good for big groups last time I went.
(4)Mary G.
Thank you Yelp'ers for not steering me wrong. Quietly tucked away on a little side street lies Whisk, but don't let that fool you! The coziness and aroma alone will bring you back to this lovely little spot. Their menu was creative and included many fresh lunch options. I had the Turkey Brie on Multigrain and my mom went with the fish sandwich special of the day. Both were served tightly wrapped in parchment paper (great for avoiding messy sandwich sliding) and perfectly allowed you to evenly bite through and enjoy all ingredients equally. I was most surprised by the simple arugula salad served as a side; very fresh and tasty with a slightly sweet dressing, not overwhelming. The fresh squeezed lemonade was a perfect thirst quencher on our 80 degree Miami day. Large portion sizes for lunch and not too expensive, $13-16/sandwich; given quality and quantity I am not complaining at all. The only negative I experienced was with service. Great host, attentive when walking in and leaving, food came out extremely fast (it even arrived before our lemonade!), but our server wasn't quite as attentive. We had to flag a different server just to remind them of our drink order and, although he obliged, he wiped down 3 unoccupied tables and disappeared into the back before notifying the bar and returning with our drinks. Overall, this quaint spot was great for lunch. Will happily return to try their dinner entrees in the future. Enjoy!
(4)Caryn B.
Whisk. You are awesome. I like your style. Your food. Your friendly staff. Your house made chips with Parmesan are killer. I absolutely crave your fried green tomato salad with buttermilk dressing (hold the bacon). Your cheesy grits are perfection. Your brussels sprouts are the new black. Did I mention the amazing cornbread? Thank you. I will be back. Again and again.
(5)Yesenia S.
Do not come here and leave without having the fried green tomatoes and warm coconut bread pudding.
(5)Leslie A.
Whisk is consistently excellent! The sangria is wonderful, and the food is fantastic. The ceviche was top notch, as was the pulled pork sliders and the baby back ribs were fall off the bone tender. This place is great and worth a visit. The only drawback is the parking. Fortunately you can usually get a paying spot on Red Road, but it would be nice if their parking lot was bigger All in all it is a fantastic restaurant. The service is also really great. Whisk is a well oiled machine that puts out exemplary food!
(5)Karl T.
Really good high quality food. I'm definitely coming back. Everything is fresh and the atmosphere is great.
(5)Laura A.
The food is good , not blown away by this place , but still recommend people to try it The flatbread Brie and arugula was pretty good As well as the spicy Seared steak,( that was my fav)! Big portion served with coconut jasmin rice and vegetables, The white Leeche sangia was good, but very sweet and not enough alcohols The key lime pie was very good

After hearing rave reviews, I finally made my over to WHISK. Blink & you'll miss it, WHISK is a hidden gem in South Miami. I came in with a friend around 12:30pm on a Saturday, and was seated right away. One look at the menu and I was excited to try the sandwiches I had heard so much about. Kicked off by ordering the 'Soda of the Day' which was strawberry lime. A little too carbonated, yet it was perfectly sweet. Our waiter was extremely patient with me trying to decide on what to order. Anyone who dines with me, knows I take forever to make a decision. I finally just asked my waiter to show me some of his favorites, and I was instantly sold me on the mahi mahi sandwich! My buddy ended up ordering the tuna melt. The mahi mahi sandwich comes with a side salad, that is just as delicious as the sandwich. My god... That sandwich was delish!! It came on a multi grain bread with lettuce, tomato, onions and some tarter like sauce. Sooo good! I didn't want my sandwich to end! Haha. My buddy claimed that his tuna melt was probably the best tuna melt he's ever had! I didn't have dessert because I was too full, but definitely will next time! The staff and my waiter (who's name slips my mind, but he had the pretty blue eyes!) were awesome! Extremely friendly and generous! Bravo, WHISK! You've gained two new fans that will be back again soon! :)

Whisk is a hidden gem, hidden in location but not in renown. This place is /always/ packed and with good reason - killer food and a great ambiance. Is it hard to park here? Yes. It is annoying to wait? Yes. Is it worth the wait? Absolutely. I have not had the pleasure of a brunch at Whisk, but I have experienced both Lunch and Dinner - both of which were very pleasant and full of surprises. Appetizers: Chicken' Biscuit - Buttery heaven. This is a southern staple with a twist and i loved it. Fried Green Tomatoes - This is what everyone talks about, and with good reason. That buttermilk dressing could make anything taste good, so putting it on something that is already great takes it to a new level. Warm Homemade Cornbread - It is good, not out of this world, but I think that is only due to the comparison with the other two dishes I tried. This is a solid cornbread and nothing to scoff at. Entrees/Sides: Fried Bell & Evans Chicken Breast - This was fried chicken perfection! Moist inside, crispy outside, tons of flavor. The smashed potatoes and bacon gravy were wonderful additions to an already great fried chicken. Would order again! Pork Tenderloin Sandwich - Be still my heart. Caramelized onions AND red pepper aioli?? Sign me up, all day. It was amazing. Desserts: I haven't made it to dessert.. I KNOW! I am terrible, I will do it next time. The service is good, but it's easy for waiters and waitresses to lose track of water glasses and small things, mainly due to the amount of people in such a small place. It's not that bad, honestly, and the waitresses and waiters I've had have all been funny, upbeat and took the edge off of the "wait frustration" immediately. All in all, Whisk is always a great experience. As long as you are in good company, the wait will go quickly and you can get to the amazing food and continue your good time. Don't fear the line, embrace it, be one with the line, and when you are.. your name will be called!

Bringing the best of the South to Miami! The burrito is so delicious. Big enough to split or save the rest for lunch the next day (...or later that evening...).

Worst service ever!!!! Ordered Eggs Benedict and they came totally overcooked, waiter was not willing to bring me a new plate. Sandwiches and food are mediocre. Never coming back to this place again!

This has been a long time coming! Finally, the day has arrived. I was able to find some time to make my way over there for lunch. The only thing is...the parking situation. It definitely is not the best... Small lot, small street, & street parking is a bit of a distance away. - Triggerfish Ceviche. A special of the day. Chunks of triggerfish, which isn't always available, had a good texture and bite to the fish. Not too overly sour and punched in the face with lime, but balanced. Served with plantain chips so that you can scoop 'em up and have a little bite, chew and crunch all at the same time. - WHISK Gourmet Southern Pulled Pork Burritos (2), yes, you read that right, you get (2) burritos, two of them, dos, deuce! These burritos are actually a pretty hefty size. It is packed with jasmine rice, black beans, shredded muenster cheese, pico de gallo, avocado & peppadew cream. The pulled pork is still juicy and you can taste the seasoning, it is well put together. This massive portion will definitely have you taking some home... The combination of the ingredients really went well with each other. Make sure you ask for the house hot sauce...it's MONEY! - Heath Bread Pudding: Crumbled heath bits and pieces over a warm caramelly bread pudding that is not too overly sweet...JUST PERFECT! It is so soft and creamy in the center, as you put a spoonful in your mouth it just has a party all up in there!!! Delicious! I am a fan of WHISK! Definitely cannot wait until the next visit!

Had to try the fried green tomatoes as they are on every review I saw. Must say that I was not disappointed at all. Go for it ... You will not be disappointed either. Had the Fried Bell and Evans Chicken Breast (on a tour of all the places that serve fried chicken in Miami). It was fried perfectly! - outside was crispy while not being dry inside. Love the bacon gravy and smashed potatoes. It was your quintessential southern dish complete with honey green beans. My friend had the pork chop and was worried that it would be dry. The pork chop was nowhere near dry. In fact, this dish almost stole the show (until the dessert arrived)! I also couldn't keep my fork away from the fingerling potatoes ... Yum! Desserts are seasonal and change quickly. However, if the bread pudding makes it to the menu when you're there make sure you snag yourself a slice!

What an awesome restaurant. Excellent comfort food with exceptional service. Had the Judge's Choice Burger which was acclaimed by many. I really liked it and served with an awesome salad. Great craft beer selection to boot. The final plate was their desert, famous bread pudding. Delicious desert that's very unique. Overall will be heading back soon to savor their other plates and indulge in their excellent taste in food. Update: Visited again for Mother's Day. Brunch was great and food was awesome. Their homemade muffins were great. Definitely a hit!
(5)Erin M.
GREAT small hidden southern food gem in south Miami. A huge fan of the green tomatoes, burrito, and skirt steak salad. LOVE the staff they always remember myself & my husband by name and know what our usual is. Love that.
(5)Claudia A.
Absolutely amazing! I had the house whisk salad with chicken and omg it's just so tasty. My husband had the crab fried rice and it was soooooo delicious! Chunks of crab and veggies in a generous dish. A definite good dish!
(5)Joanne M.
My favorite restaurant in South Florida! I'm here a few times a month and I've never had a bad meal. Everything is delicious. I myself prefer the shrimp n' grits, spicy seared beef and key lime pie but honestly everything is great. They also have the best brunch. Can't believe it took me this long to review Whisk. If you haven't been, make the drive, it's worth it.
(5)Shana W.
Wow! This place is awesome. I came for a birthday dinner with my girls. Each of us with some weird eating habit. 1 vegan, 1 gluten free, and 1 allergic to fish. This place was able to cater to ALL 3. This is what we all ordered and loved it!!!!! Vegan - Fried corn with no butter; portobello mushroom sandwich with extra chips and avocado, and lychee sangria. Gluten Free - Lemonade, baked bbq chicken with veggies. No Fish - BBQ Pork Burritos, sangria and key lime pie. We were stuffed and so happy. BUT, the best part was our waiter KIAH!!! Once he heard about our weird habits, he confirmed with the chef at the start of the meal what we could all eat. And if he didn't know then we made sure to find out. He was so funny and personable. He didn't try to pretend to know the menu, he really knew it and would ask questions if he didn't. We didn't feel neglected or bombarded. If you have a chance then take a seat with KIAH!!! I will definitely come back
(5)Diana M.
They simply had to open up a brick and mortar because the catering is sooooo good that we were rooting for more!
(5)Camila G.
I used to go to whisk when they were a very small restaurant at Le Jeune road. So Good and fresh. Now they definitely got bigger and better!! I love this place! My husband craves about their burrito and I am obsessed with their sandwiches and salads.
(5)Nina R.
One of my favorite go to restaurants for delicious comfort food! The dates, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken salad, steak sandwich and burgers are all amazing!

I'm usually very optimistic when trying a new restaurant. However my experience at Whisk was not a good one. My partner and I decided to go for brunch, served only on Sunday. The cornerstone of any good breakfast for me is coffee. I was served a cup of "dirtwater" for $3.25. I could see thru the cup. It looked more like a cup of tea, and it was maybe 6 oz of liquid. It was advertised as Panther Coffee; but trust me, Panther would never serve a cup of coffee this way. I spoke to my waitress about the coffee being sub-standard. She agreed with me, but said there was nothing she could do about it. The coffee was "pre-proportioned that way by the owner", I assume to maximize profits. It was insulting, frankly. How difficult is it to brew a good cup of coffee? The food was a mixed bag. My partner had the pancakes, which honestly weren't that good. I make better pancakes from scratch. I had granola parfait, which was good. The service was poor. Nobody was rude to us per se, but the staff is not terribly attentive, most of them talking to each other, or to patrons they know. The place is very small, super busy and super loud. It was near impossible to get anyone's attention. I felt rushed and unwelcome. The dinner menu looks promising on paper. Maybe if the service got better I'd give it another chance. But if you're looking for a good breakfast, I'd skip it, save your $$ and cook at home.

Fried green tomatoes are a MUST delicious!! Great beer selection, great atmosphere, service was excellent and the parking was fast.
(4)Cristina M.
I came here for dinner with my family and the service was great and the food was delicious. The only reason this place does not get 5 stars from me is because the parking for this restaurant was a mission. If you do not want to get a parking ticket you have to make sure you hunt a driver down as soon as they back out the parking lot. Other then that the service was excellent, they were able to make a grilled cheese for my step daughter without hesitation (It was not offered on the menu) and they comped my glass of wine in which I appreciated very much! Overall a nice restaurant!
(4)Nathalie B.
If you can get over the awful parking situation and the long wait, this is a wonderful little restaurant. We went on a Friday night for dinner and ordered the Bacon Wrapped, Gorgonzola Stuffed Dates and the Pork Tenderloin Masitas. The dates were amazing! I can see why this is such a popular dish. The Masitas were, meh. I probably wouldn't order those again. I originally wanted the fried green tomatoes but my BF vetoed that one lol. He ordered the Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs as his entree, which were delicious and very tender. I ordered the Balsamic Marinated Skirt-Steak Salad with Goat Cheese Fritter . I found it odd that they called this dish a salad when really it's just a delicious skirt steak with a small side of salad. Regardless, I would recommend this dish. The steak was cooked to perfection and deliciously seasoned. The the goat cheese fritter...to die for. My daughter ordered the kids chicken fingers. Usually she removed the breading of her chicken fingers but she didn't do that here. She devoured them (breading and all)! I would definitely come here again!
(4)Kara T.
Delicious. Sit near the kitchen to get the best recommendations from the chefs. The steak sandwich was literally to die for. I'm not a steak kind of girl, but it got me. Piled high- a perfect combination of textures. They brought us complimentary breakfast hash, which was very flavorful and tasty. It's a hearty dish. We also had the fried green tomatoes, which weren't my number one, but I wasn't upset about them either. I don't think I'd get them again. I needed a little more crisp. Overall- LOVE! Great ambience, food, service. I'm itching to get to more of their menu.
(5)Tierra H.
The food is delicious. Vanessa at the Bar was amazing. My only complaint is the parking. I had the fish, my daughter had the ribs (which was the best) and we also tried the shrimp and grits all of the food was hmmm hmmm good. This place stays packed.
(5)Maritel C.
Best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had! The service was exceptional. My only complaint would be the white whine sangria. It was overpriced for what it was.
(4)Dani D.
Delicious!! Had the bacon wrapped dates and huevos rancheros! I can't wait to go back! The coffee was amaze too. Panther coffee. The parking is a little bit crazy but you can park just around the corner and walk. Service was great and the atmosphere is perfect for a Sunday brunch!
(4)Maidel R.
A taste of Charleston in Miami, what is there not to love about this cozy little Resturant in South Miami. The only real quality southern food in perhaps all of South Florida. I also need to add that the staff is amazing and they always, always accommodate to my shell fish allergy. O' n they serve craft beer. One of my favorite resturants ever
(5)Andrew A.
This is one if the best Gastro Pubs i have been to in Miami. The place is very different from anything else in the city. My fav thing about it is not just the food but the fact that it is a hidden gem in South Miami. I just read a great article from a blogger about this place. peacelovemimi.com
(5)Juan S.
Yes, I hate the parking situation, but the food is amazing. Great neighborhood place and some of the best food in Miami.
(4)Jennifer G.
I couldn't wait to go to whisk after all the good things i heard from friends...def one of my favorite restaurants! Great service and amazing food. The bacon wrapped dates are a MUST HAVE and the white sangria was to die for. Chicken biscuits were out of this world, and for entree i had the JUICIEST pork chop! I give it 5 stars! Def coming back! :)
(5)Jason A.
From the moment I walked through the door I was impressed. I was greeted with a huge smile from the hostess and seated at a spacious table with my party of 6. My table was right by the kitchen which is not usually good... but the setup here allows you to look into the kitchen and see the chef preparing your food. I really enjoyed watching the kitchen staff work their magic and the chef was very entertaining and engaging....he even photobombed one of our pictures. After observing my meal put together I was ready to eat. The smell in the air was making my mouth water. The very friendly waitress set my grouper sandwich in front of me. It looked like a work of art. When I took the first bite it was bliss. The best grouper sandwich I ever had. It was perfectly seasoned with a delicious crunchy breading. The grouper was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The piece of grouper was huge and eventhough it was amazing, I had trouble finishing it. This place was just perfect. The ambience, atmosphere, decor, service and most of all the food was all very impressive. I honestly can't wait to go back. The only problem is that the grouper sandwich was so good, I don't know if I can bring myself to order anything else.
(5)Ricardo B.
Came here to try something new. Yes, the place is not exactly on any main roads but it is worth looking for it. We went for brunch on a sunday around 2pm. Only had to wait 25 mins for a table for four (not bad considering this is miami). You could seat at the bar too btw Service was good, not overly friendly and not rude at all. Food? I had the huevos rancheros: MMM GOOD!! The other people in the group had the turkey BLT and they enjoyed it. Food came out in a timely manner For dessert, i tried the maple bacon and pecan pie. Not a huge fan of pecan personally but this wasn't bad at all. We will definitely be back again.
(4)Tiby M.
Yum!!! Fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits... They do overdo salt. Ignore request for no salt. But pretty good.
(3)Ileem A.
We were shopping at Whole Foods and decided to wat here. We were pleasantly surprised as it is kind of hidden in a dark corner where you wouldnt expect it to be but in the inside it was definitely a hip place. They had Old Rasputen on tap so I was impressed when I sat at the bar, order one of those along with brussel sprouts and shrimp with grits. The brussel sprouts were really good but the shrimp and grits was incredible. We had the spicy seared beef for our entree which was up there with the brussel sprouts. Service was good. Definitely a place to check out
(4)Mina G.
Recently I saw the Zagat top 50 of miami, WHISK made the list so I had to try it. Needless to say, it was amazing! The flatbread was so delicious, the best kind of savory. Then we had the turkey and Brie sandwich on wheat and the fried chicken salad. Both to die for and some of the better fried chicken in Miami. Dessert was the cake, also very good with great local coffee from Panther. All in all I would go again, good food at a great price!! Make reservations!
(5)Natalie I.
I remember whisk when it was on Le Jeune had 3 tables and was only open for lunch, which a line down the street with all the Gables business folks begging for one of whisk's gourmet sandwiches. Oh how this inspired little kitchen has grown. Whisk is now a staple in South Miami. The decor is great wood tables, clean lines, some tables you share some are privet tables. The bar is nice and big in a location by the front door and away from the kitchen. I have to say the layout of the restaurant is just fantastic. This was a brilliant business plan that grew with the success of the restaurant. You can tell they put a lot of function into the decor and its just so pretty. I love a well thought out well run restaurant. The service is excellent, bar is great, the brilliant minds behind this joint pay attention to the last detail! For instance I got a gift card for my grandpa, it came on a key chain with a mini whisk on it... who does that? Details like that make Whisk an amazing well run business and we haven't talk about the food yet! The food Oh My Gawd the food. The food is organic, it is healthy and it changes based on what is fresh. FRESH food is the best food and the brilliant minds at whisk understand that ingredients matter. Yes they have all the staples that made them take off, they still make a seriously bada$$ sandwich, but they have evolved into gourmet southern food. With good portions and delicious flavors. The price is fair and the food is worth every penny! To sum it up: Eat. Here. Now.
(5)Farah G.
Went for dinner, we loved everything. We had dates, masitas, and chicken biscuits for appetizer and they were all great. As far as entrees, i had the ribs, they were great.. Tender, not too much sauce. Someone else got the burrito...it was so big she had to take 1/4 of it home. The others had the spicy beef. It was yummy and unique. Maybe a little small for a guy, but luckily we had all those appetizers. Also good craft beer selection. Overall place is great. Definitely want to come back to try other things. If i have to say anything negative... Its a little cramped for space... And noisy... And we felt a little rushed... Its like you were taking your last bite and they were taking your plate away. Only reason i didnt give 5 stars.
(4)C B K.
Hidden treasure in SoMi. Diverse menu, quick lunch service. A little noisy for a lunch meeting but good food and service made it worth the visit.
(4)Elizabeth M.
Let me start off saying that my husband was upset because I hadn't suggested going to this place sooner! We were just blown away with our meal...in fact, we asked for seconds of our appetizer! Here's what we had: Low Country Shrimp & Grits - We ordered more it was that good! Btw my hubby wasn't a fan of grits... Until now! You have to try this!!! Whole Snapper with Peanut Sauce and Jasmin Rice (Special of the day) - It was perfect, we just wished the fish was bigger. lol Warm Heath Bar Bread Pudding - OMG we left the restaurant and couldn't stop talking about how good it was! Our new favorite dessert!!! Counting the days until we return!
(5)P H.
Really good food!! We went to WHISK recently on a weekday for lunch and loved it. We tried the fried chicken salad, shrimp and grits, and a sandwich, and everything was delicious. YUMMM. What a pleasant surprise because the place has somewhat of an unassuming exterior and is located kind of off the beaten path. The decor is nice and country-chic, yet simple and comfortable. We received good service and everything about our meal was super smooth and very enjoyable. We went on a weekday for lunch and had to circle around for parking, so I can imagine that parking must be super difficult on the weekends. This almost makes me not want to rave about this place any further because I'm going to have to spend even more time looking for a spot next time! I want to give a special thank-you shout-out to the staff member (maybe the bartender?) who saw us shivering under the ceiling fan for coming to us across the dining room to turn off the fan for us- without us even having to ask. That's amazing attention to customers care and service. Thanks!
(5)Roselin S.
I LOVE Whisk. It is one of my favorite restaurants known for its amazing comfort food and fusion of southern meets Miami. Sharing some appetizers and entrees is a great way to get a taste for a variety of menu options. For appetizers, I love the fried green tomatoes, pork tenderloin masitas, bacon wrapped gorgonzola stuffed dates, cornbread and maple glazed Brussels sprouts. Great entree options include the low country shrimp and grits, fried chicken breast and spicy seared beef which has the perfect kick to it. Top it off with their delicious key lime pie which has the perfect balance of lime and sweet taste. Their bread pudding is great too. Depending at what time you arrive, there may be a longer wait than usual. Order a cocktail or glass of wine while you wait-you won't regret it!
(5)Jules B.
Was recommended by a friend on a past visit and I'm happy They did. Over past few trips to Miami I've been here a few times and I've always been very happy. The Fried Green Tomatoes were really fast as were the Polenta Fingers. I also enjoyed the Half Chicken entree and the Mahi Mahi Sandwich was really good too. The menu is a great mix of flavors so everyone can find something they like. I would definitely recommend coming here. Usually pretty busy so be ready to wait.
(4)Mark M.
Cornbread and pulled pork! The best! It can be a little packed but for good reason. Good Country Food is hard to find in Miami
(5)Lulu P.
4 stars for the food, which is always great. We had a great server too, but the wait was really awful, as was the parking. Shrimp n grits were great. Sandwiches and salads are awesome too. But because this place is such a pain in the butt to get to and the parking is such a hassle, and it's always so packed and uncomfortable,we won't return.
(4)Hortensia A.
So on the quest for food, famished from shopping at dadeland, we decided to look on yelp for close places and we found this hidden gem! This place is adorable and a bit rustic, yet welcoming and cool all at once! The only reason it gets 4 stars vs 5 is the parking. It's a nightmare! But as far as the food, killer! ( ok, not a good word to use with food, but it was great!) For starters we had the fried green tomatoes. They were tart and savory. With a buttermilk dipping sauce that I would like to slather on everything! As a main course I went light and had the turkey and Brie sandwich. It was delicious. If you're not into sweet and savory, request the cranberry mayo on the side. My boyfriend ordered the pork chop. Not only was it one of the most delicious chops ever, it was colossal! For dessert we had the pumpkin bread pudding. It was ok, not my fav. Needed to be sweeter and softer. The only serve beer and wine and only have American coffee. Once they decide to get an expresso machine and full liquor license, they are going to need to expand because this place will be a contender in south Miami! Happy eating !
(4)Nick P.
My wife and i stopped at Whisk for lunch on our way back from the Florida Keys. We saw the good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. We were not disappointed! The food was excellent. We ordered a fried green tomato appetizer which was extremely good. It was served with what I believe was homemade ranch. We also order coffee and breakfast. The coffee was some of the best I've had, no kidding. I got huevos rancheros and my wife got steak and eggs. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The side of potatoes were delicious. The huevos rancheros was exceptional. The pico de gallo was so good, I just wished there had been more! The atmosphere was really great. Small artsy place. Loved the decor. Although they were really busy the service was very fast and friendly. Whisk is a great brunch place to try in Miami. Would definitely go again.
(5)Desi K.
I tried Whisk for the first time a few days ago when my mom and I were looking for a lunch spot in the area. I picked this spot because I love southern food and photos posted on Yelp looked amazing . My mom was actually a little hesitant to try it because she had been there once during the first few weeks when they first opened and had a bad experience. I convinced her to give it a second chance since most restaurants take some time to get it together after they open and that been a while ago. We were starving so I called ahead 8 minutes beforehand to make sure there wasn't a long wait. The hostess said there was no one and that we should be fine. When we got there a few minutes later, there were 5 different parties ahead of us. I was a little peeved that the hostess didn't let us know that lunch there can get full so quickly but it was a lesson learned: always put your name down ahead of time just to be safe. We decided to eat at the bar where two seats had just opened up. It was a good decision because our waitress/bartender, Vanessa, was very, very sweet and attentive. The food was everything I hoped for. I ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, the fried green tomatoes and a side of grits. My mom ordered the pulled pork burrito and really enjoyed it. I recommend Whisk but if you decide to go during their busy hours, beware that parking can be very, very limited since it's in a tiny parking area and lots of people are trying to get a spot at one time.
(4)Tess O.
Quirky and pricey-- two words that perfectly describe WHISK. 3 sandwhiches, 3 beers, and a cornbread came out to $75 not including tip. The sandwhiches are absolutely delicious-- I tried the tuna melt, and at $8 I didn't feel like it was too pricey. However, I still don't feel like I got a good meal for what I paid because the presentation was poor. The sandwhich had deli type paper around it as if id picked it up at a local Cuban coffee shop. To me, presentation is everything! The corn bread appetizer was $7, and it brought 3 cubes of corn bread that broke apart the minute I picked one up. It was so dry that I had to use butter, which I really dislike on principle. One reason I had returned to this restaurant was the berry lemonade. It is pink, comes in a mason jar, and tipped off with raspberries, blackberries, and orange slices. Delicious! Unfortunately, they were all out. I think they should be better stocked in their most popular drink option. The staff had always been courteous and friendly. The wait is usually pretty long, so make a reservation or get there BEFORE you are hungry so your stomach doesn't devour itself while you wait.
(3)Angeli O.
I love, love, LOVE Whisk! I have been coming here for almost two years and I really enjoy its cozy and quaint atmosphere. I live around 5 minutes away and I reached a point a couple of months ago where I got take-out every single day for two weeks. No. Shame. Their turkey-cranberry salad and their cornbread are my absolute favorite things to get, but I have yet to try something that I have not liked. A place where I have been for romantic dates, casual hangouts with friends, and birthday dinners. A+ !!!
(4)Rob P.
I've been here once and bought every sandwich on the menu for my coworkers. Everyone loved their sandwich. The bartender was cute too :P
(5)Yudith G.
I've been here plenty; never disappoints. The place very cute and cozy. They have daily specials. Food is very fresh; organic. The have a variety of beers and wines. Their burgers are amazing! I love their pork fingerlings w/ blue cheese and fried green tomatoes as appetizers. As an entree, the buttermilk fried chicken breast is my favorite. The grilled BBQ pork chop is very good as well. Only negative is the parking, it's very limited. MUST TRY THIS PLACE!
(5)Talal A.
Creative southern comfort food. Everybody likes fried food which is Whisk's signature. I try to avoid fried food when I can but if I decide to eat it, Whisk would be the choice. They have good other non-fried choices that are really delicious such as the tenderloin on hoagie and pork ribs. This is a must try place in Miami.
(3)Christian R.
One of my favorite spots to eat. Hands down the best pork chop. Everything I have tried here is delicious--fried green tomatoes, bacon-wrapped dates, corn bread, pork sliders, fried chicken... you name it and it's delicious. Don't hesitate to eat here.
(5)I- D.
And now a Haiku: A date here this weekend The fried chicken got me laid Whisk, thanks for the Clap Actually in all likelihood there's no risk of VD as a result of this encounter but as Haikus go, one can be pressed to bend the story line in order to fit the metrics. The first two stanzas are true. Thank you Whisk!
(5)Paige U.
Took my nephew, a UM student, out for lunch here early on a Friday afternoon. He lives close by of course, and had heard of it but never eaten here yet. I was excited to try it from all the good reviews, so we headed over. It was not busy when we got there and there was space in the little lot, so for me parking was not a problem. The lot was small though, so I could see how parking would be a problem on Friday or Saturday night. The inside of the place is very cute, great decor, feels comfy and fun, but it's small. However, since it wasn't busy, we were seated right away. The hostess was nice and friendly, and our waiter was fantastic, very friendly, and answered all our questions. 5 stars for the staff. Now, onto the food, we ordered 2 teas, the caramelized onion and brie flatbread, the homemade cornbread, and the pulled pork sliders - $48 with tip. Everything was good, nothing disappointed or excited.... it was just good. I've had better, but I've had worse. 3 stars for the food. Maybe the other menu items are better, and that's what everyone's raving about. I suppose it is similar in price to other area restaurants, but I think that at $13 for a brie flatbread, that flatbread should at least wow me.
(3)Jessica S.
One of our favorite neighborhood spots! Busy all the time, but for a good reason. Bacon wrapped dates are out of this world good, as are the fried green tomatoes. The tuna wrap sucked though. Parking is also horrible, the lot is always full.
(5)Adam S.
Came here for a special occasion lunch (anniversary of the day wife & I first met). We were attracted to this place because its menu reminded us of an atlanta restaurant. We were correct too. This is an above average higher end southern food place with a heavy focus on salads and sandwiches. My wife loved this place. I liked it. We had fried grits for an appetizer. It was a tasty dish. Not gonna blow your socks off, but they are grits so go figure. I had the grouper BBQ "rueben." It was fried grouper on my choice of whole wheat or multigrain with slaw, tomato, and Carolina BBQ sauce. The fish was well fried and the sandwich itself was actually very nice. My only issue with this dish was, can you really call something that doesn't have a single component of a traditional rueben a "rueben?" I mean the bread, no sauerkraut, no Russian dressing, no corned beef... How is that a rueben? I don't want to get bogged down in that though. Also tried their homemade soda that was orange and jalepeno flavored. Tasty, but a little flat (I told the waitress). Service was great and prices were quite reasonable. Very solid place.
(4)Stefan S.
Yelp helped me find this place while I was exploring the greater Miami area--and what a perfect lunch spot! The inside has that clean rustic barn feel, or maybe a cross between contemporary and country kitchen... you get the idea. The food was all super fresh and tasty, and the staff all seemed very friendly. Waiter recommended the crispy Brussels sprouts, which were a light and yummy way to start off our meal. I tried the un-traditional B.L.T., which was nothing like your moms boring excuse for a sandwich. It was filled with a generous helping of delicious thick-cut bacon, a creamy buttermilk spread, and fresh haas avocado--all tied together with fluffy bread so perfectly toasted on the outside. Definitely check this place out!

I don't know why the name is in all caps, so I'm wondering if "WHISK" is an acronym: ....Waiting Hopeless Inside a Southern Kitchen...? OK, maybe not. I can say for sure, however, that WHISK is quite the hot spot in South Miami right now. It's crazy-popular, though i didn't figure that out until later. We arrived here early, after an airboat tour in the Everglades. We were feeling tired, somewhat crumpled and very underdressed (the other patrons and staff were looking quite dressy). The place was also tiny and cramped. So even though tables were available, our family ordered food for pickup later. I didn't actually experience the insane popularity of WHISK until I showed up 30 minutes later to get our food: the small parking lot was full, with several cars waiting for a space; plus there was a short line of cars on the road (waiting behind them, I guess). The entryway of the restaurant was packed full of people, and another line of people were waiting outside the front door. There was no street parking for at least two blocks. It's a good thing that mom-in-law came with me to grab the goods (while I circled the block in the car). I thought, "This must be it; I have found the source of the fabled ambrosia!" For that could be the only explanation for what I was seeing here. When we brought the food home, here's what I had (all apps): -- Fried green tomatoes: ($7) Evenly battered, perfectly done and delicious; not too oily. Best i've ever had. -- Pulled pork sliders: ($10) Very tasty, with large chunks of lean and smoky pork; Oh yeah. -- Low country shrimp and grits: ($11) Just decadent; with bacon and scallions mixed in to the grits; actually a little too rich for my taste; but yes, I ate it all. -- Cornbread: ($6) The only disappointment; nice flavor but too dry. I've had better (Thanks Mom.) Ok...yeah - So the food was pretty damn good (4.5 stars), but I can't say I would wait in a long line to eat in this tiny space. Unfortunately WHISK does not take reservations, so that is the only option during normal meal hours. If you're claustrophobic or dislike lines, then take-out is really your best option.

Whisk used to be great but it's kind of jumped the shark. We went for brunch today and got running eggs, uncooked bacon and pancakes that were both burned and raw. We even sent the pancakes back to have them return the same as they left. I had the shrimp and grits which were excellent, but it couldn't make up for the other mistakes. Hopefully it was a bad day, but I don't think we'll be back for brunch again. Also, they gave us a half full cup of coffee and never refilled it.

Out of towners here... read other yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. Small but craft draft beer selection. Not a wine person but the list looked long. Ordered the chicken breast and my boyfriend had the beef. Chicken is fried and has delicious bacon gravy. The beef comes with awesome rice. Service was great! Just enough checking in on us. It wasnt super fancy but I wouldnt go in my running clothes!

I have been here twice, and both times It did not disappoint. The restaurant has a really cool vive, it is not pretentious, the food is really good. Try the fried green tomatoes, the pulled pork sliders, the ribs are beyond good. People are friendly. It is really nice to have a place like this in the South Miami area. %100 recommended!!

The limited parking outside of Whisk along with its partialy hidden location don't seem that promising, but approaching the restaurant immediately changes your mind. You realize you've stumbled on a neighborhood gem when you walk in and see the clean, modern décor and smell what's emanating from the open kitchen. The hostess was smiling and friendly, and escorted us directly to our reserved table; which was prepared and waiting for us when we arrived. The menu was one page and concise, and offered many different choices within the theme without being confusing or complicated. The complexity instead is saved for dishes such as the bacon wrapped, gorgonzola stuffed figs which is a balancing act of flavors. This particular bite comes on a long toothpick and is salty, sweet, with the sharp flavors of the gorgonzola and each note harmonizes without overpowering the other flavors. Surprises include the level of accountability the chefs seem to pride themselves in, from the open kitchen to the printing of farm sources on the menu. I knew my chicken's origin, as well as where the quail special had come from before they cooked it and served it on a plate. The fried chicken, some of the best in South Florida, had a wonderful crispy exterior behind which was hidden the white juicy flesh filled with flavor and expertly combined with creamy gravy and lying on a bed of home-style mashed potatoes, huge lumps authenticating the freshness and preparation of the food. Other notable offerings include the fried green tomatoes, balsamic marinated skirt steak salad with goat cheese fritter, cornbread, Brussels sprouts, and whatever dessert the pastry chef has conjured from her imagination that day. The service was attentive and friendly. My glass was never empty. I was never waiting an exorbitant amount of time for any particular request. There is a confidence in the quality of food and integrity of the ingredients used by the chef that trickles down throughout the working environment of the restaurant. If everyone, from the diner to the servers to the hostess, believes in the product being presented it not only provides for a pleasant dining experience it provides for a comfortable and intimate experience. The standard of dining out should be fresh, delicious food at a reasonable price and that is exactly what Whisk offers.

I had a great experience here! My dad convinced us to go after seeing it on the food network. Since we are visiting from New Jersey we figured it would be an exciting place to start our vacation and it really was! After having the kale and spinach Caesar salad I don't think I will ever have a Caesar salad with just lettuce again. The kale added another depth of flavor that was just great. I had the key lime pie for dessert and it was good I just wish it had been a little colder. Another wise a great dinner overall. Also best mashed potatoes ever.

Amazingly delicious! After seeing WHISK pop-up on my "Recent Activity" so many times, I got excited and bookmarked it for a future adventure. Well, after making our way to this hidden jewel, I can only say, "Thank You Yelpers!" This place is truly fantastic. I expected to find the restaurant on SW 57th Ave, but instead, it's tucked around the back of the strip mall, on SW 56th Ave. Given the amount of great reviews (on Yelp, of course!) and the plethora of photos depicting delicious plates of food, it was no surprise there was a wait to be seated. However, as packed as it was, the staff did a great job getting people inside and sat quickly. Once we were seated, the fun really began! With so many great menu choices, we decided to order several apps and sides, a salad, and split an entree. Wow! Even though we ordered way too much food, it was hard to stop eating....it was so delicious. Don't get me wrong, while the food left a memorable impression and has me yearning for more, the staff (including hostesses, wait staff, and management) deserves an applause as well, as they were quick, kind, and attentive. Furthermore, WHISK employs enough people to ensure you're well taken care of and you're needs are met. Great job by them! The only downside to WHISK is that it's located so far from my house. Waah waah waaaaaah lol

Good Food, Bad Service. When you enter you are greeted with a warm ambiance, a hostess, and a playlist of music from the 80's playing in the restuarant. I first ordered the soup of the day and it was delicious. Afterwards, I ordered a Broccoli and Kale Salad (basically there take on a Caesar Salad) it was good, but nothing out of this world. Unfortunately, this delightful combination of food and atmosphere was ruined by the poor service of the server Mike. The only reason he checked up on us was to see if we were done. In addition, I had to constantly remind the server for water and was greeted with a sigh and a roll of the eyes every time I reminded him for water. Also, when I requested a paper napkin, he once again sighed and rolled his eyes. I was very close by requesting the manager but I was so upset, I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Also, the kitchen staff is VERY loud it is very unprofessional. I am sure Whisk's core values are much higher than that. The conversations being held in the kitchen is not appropriate at work nor in a restaurant where adults and children are eating. Keep in mind, I was sitting towards the bar/entrance. I will not come again. VERY disappointed, after my second time coming. I'm giving it 2 stars because everything was clean and the ambiance was very nice.

We were in the area and stumbled upon this place. It's charming, so we decided to give it a try. We had a small wait, and were then escorted to a communal table. Not what i expected, but we definitely didn't mind. It's kinda cool because u can basically see the entire kitchen! Our waiter was pretty nice and efficient. We ordered... I got the shrimp po boy and my husband got shrimp and grits. The wait for the food was a little longer than expected, as the place was pretty hoppin'! Once we got it, everything tasted good. As i was into the second half of my dish, i noticed a piece of aluminum foil in my sandwich. The waiter offered a new dish, but i was nearly finished so i declined. I just told him to warn the kitchen of the foil incident. He then offered free dessert, but we had plans and couldn't stay for dessert. Instead he made me a berry lemonade to-go for me at my request. The place was solid, but nothing amazing/to die for. Maybe we'd come back if we're ever in the area!

I love a good hole in the wall and whisk is just that! Super comfortable and trendy atmosphere. The service is great and the plate selection is pretty good. I had the burgers and chips and that was good but really average. The chips are tasty but for me the plate fell short with the burger, which was huge!
(3)Mario R.
Meh, sums this restaurant up perfectly. I've been dying to try their fried green tomatoes and have come for lunch and dinner on 4 different occasions, yet they are always sold out! Chicken with honey was pretty good, but portion is tiny. Sandwiches are decent, nothing out of this world IMO. Other than those two items(although I've tried more than one sandwich), the dates and bread pudding are all that I would recommend.
(2)Mike R.
Another one beats the dust. I guess I shouldn't be disappointed, it is Cuba after all.....I meant to say Miami. I tried Whisk over a year ago, and it was pretty descent, but in Miami, no sooner they achieve success, they lose their way and become old news. Went to Whisk on a Saturday afternoon, my Portobello mushroom hoagie, was plain and tasteless, it was put together as and afterthought and not a dish worthy of a restaurant with four stars on Yelp. The tuna melt sandwich was salty, fishy with an awful dressing, and wilted tomatoes. This shall be my last visit.
(2)Ana B.
Pretty good food (we ordered the steak sandwich and the turkey & Brie sandwich), but SO overpriced. $15 sandwich? Really? The $7 slice of stale, dry red velvet cake was pretty bad too. Never got a refill of my drink either... Not impressed.
(3)Elle A.
I'm a bit torn over this place, after reading all the reviews, I really expected a bit more, but the food was merely good, not great, so I think I'll stay with a three star rating for now. WHISK was right by Pinecrest Park where we spent part of our day, and I have been wanting to eat there for some time. Every time we're in the area we wind up eating at ROK Brgr, but I don't like burgers, and wasn't even in the mood for their veggie option that day, so off we went to WHISK. The place is small and even though it was an off hour it was bustling. We were seated at a table for two which was somewhat squished between two other couples and it made me antsy. I don't mind sitting very close to people I know but it's unsettling for me to sit this close to strangers and I was able to hear their conversations very clearly. It was really distracting. Also, it was very loud inside the restaurant. One of my favorite things is peace and quiet, so I was just a bit rattled by the noise level combined with how crowded everything felt. We were given menus with the day's specials, the regular menu, a wine list and water served up in mason jars. There were a lot of southern-themed dishes on the menu - shrimp and grits, fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, ribs - you get the idea. I think I've been to too many of these restaurants lately and am getting tired of these selections - I don't know. I guess I was just feeling kind of cranky, we walked for hours that day. There were a lot of different servers too - one for drinks, one to take our order, another to serve our actual food, another to bring us a box for leftovers. I don't know why I'm complaining so much. The service itself was good and all the food came out very quickly. We started with the fried green tomatoes with buttermilk herb dressing. They were very good, nice and hot, obviously freshly fried without a hint of greasiness and the dressing that it came with was nice and light. For mains we had the BBQ chicken salad and the UN-Traditional BLT. The BBQ chicken in the salad was sweet and very tender. It was dressed lightly in a pleasant dressing and overall I enjoyed the salad but I didn't detect any bacon in there as stated on the menu and the tomato wedges were mealy. Mealy tomatoes suck. The BLT was good, it was served on grilled bread and was chock fully of crispy well-done bacon as requested, but aside from there being arugula, I didn't see what was so untraditional about this particular sandwich. Maybe it was the buttermilk spread but it tasted like plain mayonnaise to us. We were full and decided to skip dessert, actually none of the choices really appealed to me and I don't order dessert often in restaurants unless it's really something special. So will I ever go back here? Not so sure, especially given the plethora of choices in this part of Miami.

I went with a party of 4, we ordered a ton of appetizers and 2 entrees to share. The appetizers were awesome. The dates being the best, and the shrimp and grits (which should be made larger and into an entree... doesn't seem fitting as an app.) being second. We also had the corn and the chicken and biscuits. The entrees on the other hand... weren't so impressive. Whisk still gets four stars from me because for the price and location... everything was good. It's what I'd expect walking in the door, which is usually crowded with people after 7:00pm on a Friday/Saturday night. All in all, they weren't outta this world... but I'll be back and recommend the place. This was actually my third visit... and I'd say they have all been pretty consistent. PS. not too happy you guys always seem to run out of the most popular dishes...
(4)Adalberto M.
I can say so many things about how wonderful this place is, but I'll try my very best to keep it short. Get your GPS because this place is hidden in the South Miami area and parking is very limited. If you're coming here for a Sunday brunch, get here as soon as they open. Sangria of the day were Lychee Sangria and Pomegranate Sangria. Both delicious and visually appealing. But $11.00 each ? Easy there big guy... Special of the day: Pork Benedict. Panko fried pork loin on top of a biscuit, poached egg, creamy sauce and a bit of spicy bbq sauce. De-f***-licious!! My wife had the shrimp and grits which was also a hit. We passed on dessert but had such a great meal in this nice, trendy place. We'll be back!
(4)Gisy V.
I had two friends tell me how great this place is so I went with high recommendations and expectations. Boy what a disappointment!!! I ordered the pulled pork burritos, the pork didn't have flavor at all, I didn't finish it. My hubby had the friend chicken and although it was juicy it didn't have much flavor not even with the side of gravy it came with. The chips they served were also soggy and cold. The quality of food was poor and overpriced. They also took forever with bringing out the food.
(2)JoAnn D.
Ordered some take out from here last week and it was delicious! I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the blackened chicken samdwich and we shared the bacon wrapped dates. The dates were to die for. I will definitely be getting them again when I go back. I've never eaten inside Whisk but when I went to pick up my food, I was pleasantly surprised at how cute and laid back the atmosphere was. Great for a date or to catch up with friends.
(4)Alex D.
I had heard about Whisk from friends, so I finally tried it. Everything we tried was pretty good, but just pretty good and not great. Perhaps it was an off night; but, frankly, I was not blown away. The server offered the nightly special menu and the regular menu. We opted for the nightly specials, which I found somewhat blah and unimaginative. I will try Whisk again, but I'm in no hurry.
(3)Misha M.
Whisk is my cafeteria...I eat there 3-4 times a week, as it is a short distance from my office. Simple and fresh food, intersting wine and beer list, but be aware: lunch waiting lines can be long particularly on Friday. I recommend sitting at the bar, where the friendliest bartenders are happy to propose something from the menu. Must order: fried green tomatoes, gourmet burrito, Panco crusted fish, swordfish filet. Another way to avoid lines is late lunch as they are opened from lunch to dinner. One mone thing: the restaurant can host several dozens of guest, but the parking holds 10 cars...you do the math; park nearby and walk
(5)AJ M.
Had a Giftcard and finally got to use. Wish we had made it sooner, this place was amazing. Was worried about parking based on reviews but we got a spot with ease. Started with the brussel sprouts and fried green, tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes were fried perfectly and delicious, the brussel sprouts were amazing, we loved the roasted red pepper aioli. I ordered the quail, the larger portion thanks to our waitress. It was small yet meaty and flavorful. My wife ordered the crab fried rice which did not disappoint. Believe it or not we ended with the shrimp and grits. The grits were cheesy and creamy and the shrimps were delicious. We can't wait to return.
(5)Cecily K.
tl;dr: good rustic elegant atmosphere for lunch or dinner, good selection of drinks, large-portioned comfort-food appetizers, and free parking. Entrees are rather expensive, and the sandwiches are meh. The dates wrapped in bacon are so delicious and rather large, so I would definitely recommend sharing with a friend. The cornbread and the fried okra were only alright, but I guess that's what you get if you're looking for southern comfort food in Miami. I wasn't a huge fan of my UN-traditional BLT sandwich because it was rather bland, but the ingredients were very fresh. Overall entrees were just a little too pricey for my liking and the food was nothing special.
(3)Liz C.
I can understand all the hype about this place but I guess it just didn't do much for me. I thought the bread pudding was more like a piece of dry cake than bread pudding (it was way too dry) & the music was too loud. Also, my salad was boring maybe because the turkey was cold. I think I would have preferred warm turkey on top. It's just my personal taste. My friends ordered dishes that looked much better than mine & they finished them all. They seemed happy. I will say that all the appetizers were delicious & the presentation was very nice too. I can understand why the fried green tomatoes are very popular. Will most likely give this place another try but from the other reviews it will be wise to stick to weekdays as the parking is a nightmare on the weekends & rightly so since the parking lot is teeny tiny. Our waiter was nice & made sure my water was topped the entire time. And they have a sign right at the front letting you know that you will be seated when your entire party arrives. Don't understand why people get mad about this, it's their policy & they have a right to stand by it. Especially on those very busy days when there's nothing more annoying than waiting for a table & seeing a guy holding a table for 1/2 hour while he waits for his friends to arrive. So for that policy & for sticking by it, I congratulate them.
(3)Patricia N.
This is a great spot with a great location right in the heart of South Miami. Whisk serves delicious plates and has a great variety of food, with many healthy options. Everything tastes so fresh, and it is at times difficult to pick and choose from the menu because everything is delectable. Though the service is good, the restaurant tends to be packed and does not seat you until your whole party has arrived. Additionally, parking is a hassle as it is usually very hard to find. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth it. All the appetizers are amazing and one is surely to be satisfied upon leaving this restaurant. The Fried Green Tomatoes are a must try along with the Bacon-Wrapped Dates and the Corn on the Cob
(4)Sandra M.
After seeing all the great reviews I was hoping to really like this place. Sadly that just wasn't the case. First off like most people have mentioned parking is a bit of a challenge. They only have a few parking spots out front. So unless you are really lucky expect to be circling around for a parking spot. We started off with the Aged White Cheddar & Parmesan Pimiento dip which was just OK. As an entree I decided to go with the Charleston Chicken Sandwich and the hubby had the special Friday burger. My sandwich wasn't bad but I wish it would have at least brought some chips as a side. The burger was good but nothing out of this world as other Yelpers had mentioned. The service wasn't great either. When it came time to pay we were charged for something that we didn't even order and getting that fixed took a while.
(3)Bowie S.
I went with my roommates here for dinner. We heard about the great Yelp reviews and had to try it. I had the chimichurri steak skirt and salad and it was delicious. My roommates had the spicy beef and pork burrito. The portions were of good size here and the food was good. Not quite 5 stars but definitely worth a try. The ambiance was ok, busy dressy casual, had a bar area and tv's there. There was quite a wait but it was worth it!
(4)Claire S.
My hubby and I came here on a rare date awhile back. My friendo voluntarily babysat my monster child!!! I like this place because it reminds me of the type of restaurant you can find it Atlanta, and we lived there for awhile. Service is nice and the food is great!! I recommend the fried grit sticks--these were the bomb dot com!!!
(5)Steve L.
Awesome place tucked away in Sunset place.... We stopped here with some friends for lunch and loved what they had to offer. As for starters I would recommend the bacon wrapped and stuffed dates... If your looking for something sweet and savory to please your palate these will fit the bill... as they say great things come in small packages and boy these dates surely pleased the taste buds..The shrimp Po boy was as fresh and favorable as could be with the crispy fried shrimp and fresh made house pickle combination. Another pleaser was the highly recommended steak sandwich which I must say was spectacular as well...the fresh toasted bread and overstuffed savory fork tender steak surely pleased our tastebuds.... All I can say the risk in trying this place was a Win Win situation... So if you find yourself looking for something different to try find your way to Whisk and give it a try.....your taste buds will thank you
(4)Brittney L.
Dined at whisk for lunch . The berry lemonade and shrimp and grits was OMG soo good! The service was amazing everyone was very attentive. The pork chop was ok very juicy , mash potatoes were some of the best I have ever had , corn bread also very tasty!
(5)Vanessa C.
I love this place! It's off a little from sunset place and I wouldn't even had known it existed until my boyfriend told me about it (he used to work there). The first time I went there we had the Friday burger. It was delicious! And I noticed that they don't repeat the same burger. Trust me it has to be good if they go to burger bash to the SOBEWFF and win!! You definitely have to get there early on Fridays though because they do run out. I used to work at an attorney's office near by and started ordering delivery and that is when I discovered the Skirt Steak Sandwich! Ultimate favorite dish. I didn't think I would like it from some if the ingredients but it was so tasty the combination of flavors definitely worked. Another good dish is the burritos! Pork, rice, beans, pico, heavenly goodness! And if you don't want to eat with your hands the spicy coconut beef is very good too! Down fall definitely is parking but it usually is whenever you're in South Miami. So expect to find parking along the strip and walk a little. But it will be so worth it!!
(5)Erik G.
Sooooo gooood! Hanger steak sandwich. Delicious. The steak was well seasoned, cooked perfectly for me , medium well. It was chopped up making it easy to bite into. Very tender and soft.
(5)Olson S.
The tomato basil soup is the best I've ever had! The cheese dip was really good as well. All four of us were pleased with our meals and drinks. Expect a wait if you do not have a reservation.
(5)Pamela M.
I wasn't a fan the first time I went because it was southern comfort food. But then it grew on me! The friend green tomatoes are delicious and the ribs are awesome!!! I really enjoy this place. It's really hard to find parking but if you can it will be worth it.
(5)Leilani D.
So I'd almost be willing to give this place five stars just based on the fried green tomatoes. Honestly, just order ten plates of fried green tomatoes and thank me later. The breading is light and flavorful, the buttermilk sauce is heavenly. But I digress. I did keep eating, and unfortunately not everything lived up to the fried green tomato hype. I think part of it was my fault. A) that I ordered badly and B) brought along expectations that were not met. I got the shrimp and grits and they were just...lacking. Usually shrimp and grits comes with some sort of broth/sauce (expectation). I've seen mostly tomato, but sometimes BBQ can work too. These grits were just too dry. They needed cheese or sauce, something to add a bit more flavor. On the bright side, the bacon wrapped dates were also stellar, and so was my friends steak which I was able to snag a couple bites of. Everyone else (eggs Benny, more steak and eggs, and huevos rancheros) was all very pleased with their meals. So again, I could've just made a menu mistake. Order any of these other things and you'll probably be happy. Important tip: the fried green tomato secret is out, and this tiny parking lot starts filling up FAST. If you want to snag a brunch table (and a parking spot) you better show up early.
(4)Christina C.
Whisk fails to disappoint! So, as per my last review, I said my next venture would be brunch. I kept my promise, but since then, I've gone FIVE times to have brunch at Whisk...so sorry for the delay! I went yesterday with my boyfriend & tried the Fried Green Tomato Stack. WOW! In the past, I've gotten the 2 Eggs Country Breakfast & it was fantastic, but I wanted to try something different this time & I'm a huge fan of their Fried Green Tomatoes, so why no!?!! My boyfriend got the Eggs Benedict & has yet to veer from those! We usually split the Buttermilk Pancakes & they are just to die for! The praline butter they use on the pancakes...IDK what it is or what is in them....but it's just incredible! Whisk has to be one of my favorite places, hands down! I highly recommend trying brunch from Whisk! It's a Sunday treat that will leave you asking for more!
(5)Lissette V.
WOW!!! This restaurant is absolutely PERFECT!!! The ambiance was great and I felt relaxed even with the big crowds and the amount of wait time. It was a Friday night at 7:30pm & we waited for 30 minutes. As soon as we were seated Jeffery greeted us & his service was phenomenal throughout our dining experience. My boyfriend & I shared the dishes we ate. For appetizer we had the chicken biscuit. Best one yet, even better than the ones at Yardbird. For our main entrees we had the McDonald Burger and the Burritos. Jeffery brought out one dish at a time split in two so we didn't have to struggle or have an overload of plates since the tables are small. This blew us away. His attention to details. The food was absolutely amazing to the very last bite. Whisk see you next week :)
(5)Ali M.
Hands down favorite place in Miami. Each ingredient tastes so fresh and well thought out. The burritos are one of my favorites, as well as the corn and corn bread appetizers. The have a burger special on Friday that never disappoints and also often have a fish sandwich special (both are awesome). Had the fried chicken salad - probably won't get it again because most other things are much better. The dressing was very good and great fried chicken as well.
(5)Stephanie H.
My second favorite spot to dine in South Miami! I highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates, the burritos (always half order or share -they are so filling- ), the BLT!!! To die for! The staff is very friendly, everytime I go I feel like Im home.
(4)Tina V.
I love this place, its cute but parking is a pain. If you find parking great and if you dont good luck. Shrimp and Grits (5/5) i love it here, always get it with extra grits. Fish sandwich (2/5) ehh... bones still attached to the fish??? Tasted gritty Overall a good brunch place to be exact. My new Saturday brunch crawl.
(4)Crisveth O.
I didn't expect it to be this good! I was looking for place to eat and have quick beer with a friend and I found this place on yelp. I got to say, this is one of the great sandwiches I've eaten at a restaurant. Everything seems so fresh and made to perfection!
(5)Ingrid R.
Let's start with the positive: The lemonade is great and the pork burritos are delicious! I always get the full order and take home whatever I don't eat; they make for decent leftovers. Also, if you like hot sauce I recommend asking them for their homemade spicy sauce. It's not very spicy but it compliments the burrito. I've also gone for their brunch a couple of times and I wasn't very impressed by it, especially the pancakes. I'm all about a good pancake so please step your game up on those puppies and stop sending them out burnt. Now for the negative: This story is over a year old but it gets me every time I think about it so I feel it's worth sharing. I went in on Saturday night with my boyfriend and another couple. Our waitress was somewhat nice at the beginning. We placed our orders, got a bottle of wine, and enjoyed our night right up until dessert time. I had raved about this place to the other couple and so far they had liked everything they ordered. To top the night off, my friend decided to order a brownie for the table. Our waitress brings it over and we all take a bite. My friend looks up, severely disappointed, and calls the waitress over and kindly asks if she could warm up the brownie for him. She straight up looked at him and said no, we don't have microwaves here. I giggled to myself (may have been the wine) because I thought she was joking but she walked away right after saying no. The four of us looked at each other wondering if this was some kind of joke. When we realized she was serious, we called her over and my friend stated again that he would like if she could warm up the brownie. And she again tells him that they have no means of warming up the brownie and we have to have it the way that it came. AM I IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE? If you have an oven or a pan, you have a way of warming up the damn brownie. And how did you make the brownie in the first place? My guess would be in an oven in your restaurant. We were completely shocked and asked her to bring the manager over so we can get clear confirmation that it was impossible for them to warm up the brownie. The manager walks over with the same attitude as the waitress and explains that they don't warm up brownies for customers because they don't have a way to do it. We replied that we didn't feel like we were asking for too much by requesting that the brownie be warmed up. It should also be pointed out that the only reason we asked was because the restaurant wasn't very busy so we felt it wouldn't be that much of a hassle for the people in the kitchen. She finally caved in and took the brownie from us and returned it back on the same plate lukewarm (took her less than 5 minutes and how she warmed it up I will never know, considering how adamant she and the waitress were about not having the ability to re-heat it). There was never an apology and her face expressed this look of, "Well, I did you all a favor." It was quite disappointing and unfortunately ruined the dining experience for us. And the brownie didn't taste at all good, room temperature or warmed up. I don't know if it was an off night for her but she definitely did not display the customer service you would expect of a manager running a restaurant with such great reviews. It's a shame because I have heard that she is a very nice person and prides herself in her work and customer service. I didn't let that issue stop me from returning, although I've never been able to shake that experience. Can't say the same thing for the other couple; they will never again step foot in Whisk.

Food is really good. Can be loud for lunch. Great option in South Miami for something a notch above franchise restaurant options in the area.

We stumbled on the place using Yelp. The reviews were good and we were less than half a mile away on a Friday evening. We arrived a the place without reservations and with a preteen daughter. The place was not empty but still some tables were In use. We asked for a table and the hostess sat us as soon as our party of three was completed. The place looks clean, casual yet hip and nicely decorated. The staff it's extremely effectively and helpful but not too warm. The menu is not big yet have plenty of alternatives. Beware if you are On a diet this place will be very challenging to order from. Almost everything contained buttermilk, was deep fried, bathed in honey or breaded. Do not take this the wrong way everything we tried was great! We ordered different dishes and shared. The fried green tomatoes were excellent and the bacon wrap dates just as good. A member of our party ordered fried chicken w honey and it was good but no great. We decided to share the fried buttermilk chicken & the molasses BBQ pork chop. The chicken was great but the pork chops rocked. We could not leave without trying the desserts: bread pudding and the cheesecake. The pudding was excellent and decadent even without any ice cream, and the cheese cake was not the traditional cream cheese one ...it was goat cheese! Wow super delicious !!!! It was bit pricey but the experience was great! We will definitely try it again but not with out having a vigorous workout that day and the week after. Lol

I like this place. The only problem is that you can't make reservations on the same day....so for a last minute planner like me it's annoying. The food is pretty good and their corn bread is addictive.
(4)Cathy S.
This restaurant is a hidden gem. The chef puts together such surprisingly tasty creations, like a work of art! The atmosphere is casual and loud and they do not take reservations. There is usually a wait, but the food is definitely worth the wait.

Excellent! Herb marinated skirt steak.....mmmmmmmm This by far is their best steak or sandwich now. Their beet salad is also good and every Friday they have a special burger with Parmesan chips. The staff is really nice and helpful. Some of their specials are a hit and miss. Best time to go is around 3pm after lunch and before dinner because it gets super duper packed.

Missed breakfast...YELP search led us to this restaurant down a little alley/street. Quick seating..good service. Orders three beans soup - I expected heaps of three different beans in a rich broth. Received the rich broth and three (1, 2, 3) beans. The neighboring table had a heaping mound of beans...they charge extra for sharing plates so I did not ask my neighbor to share... Pork burritos - tasty but so is Chipotle's. Nice, quick lunch but nothing noteworthy.

Try the corn risotto fritters! everything was amazing! ONLY DOWNSIDE if you plan on going for brunch, this is NOT a day drinking kinda spot. The food is well priced for the quality and service but the drinks will put you up quite a bit! Our food (for 2 ppl) was $50 which is not bad...but 4 mimosas in reg champagne flutes (super tiny) were the same price $50!... Normally, for brunch, most people like to hang out for a bit have a few mimosas order a few apps and food, make it a few hours affair, its a shame you cant do that here bc your drinks cost as much as food. My suggestion: A drink special for bottomless mimosas or a 2-4-1 or something!
(5)Lazaro E.
This place rocks. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and very clean. I love the pork burritos super tasty and and very filling.. Also try the shrimp po'boy you can never go wrong with that.. Its not on the regular menu; but if you ask nicely they'll make it for you.
(5)Joaquin M.
Awesome food, service and ambiance. Brunch was phenomenal. Eggs Benedict with a biscuit. Add extra thick cut bacon.
(4)Daniela M.
Parking was horrible. Appetizers were OK. I had the huevos rancheros which I did not like at all.
(2)Yessenia R.
Love it!! Great fried chicken and fried green tomato. I enjoy it every time I go. Presentation is lovely and service is very pleasant.
(5)Sasha R.
I love Whisk!!! This is a favorite lunch, brunch, or dinner spot for my boyfriend and me. There is usually no wait for a table of two, unless we go around 8 or 9 PM on Friday or Saturday (30 min or so wait-sometimes no wait at all). I also like to take my mom and aunt around lunch time. This is a place that everyone in my family loves. They have a good craft beer selection, and their white sangria is pretty delicious. I have a few favorites here...As an appetizer, I love the fried green tomatoes with buttermilk ranch. They sometimes have dips on daily specials menu; always good. Whatever fried fish sandwich they have on special is always AMAZING, as well as any of their burger specials on Friday nights. For brunch I love the shrimp po' boy or the low country shrimp and grits as well as the Eggs Benedict. My go-to meal is the Whisk House salad with a shrimp skewer. It's light, but filling and full of flavor! The steak and goat cheese salad is also a favorite of mine. For dessert, I recommend the bread pudding of the day (Heath bar or brownie versions are the best). Everything on their menu is really good, depending on what you're in the mood for. The service is always attentive and quick. Whisk, thanks for being awesome!

Stumbled upon this place on Yelp, bc otherwise I would never known it existed. It sits behind the Chevron gas station on 56 avenue. Once you find it, the parking is difficult. So you might have to grab a meter parking, not a big deal. For 2 hours it was $3. We arrive there and once we opened the doors I was like "oh man this place is small and packed" so I thought we wouldn't be getting a table for a while since it's noon on a Friday. But we sat almost immediately (it was only 2 of us.) Once we sat, I noticed on the menu Hibernation Ale, a beer popular in Denver at The Great Divide Brewery. It reminded me of my recent trip there so I had to get it. We ordered the Homemade Corn Bread as an appetizer. It was pretty good. I ordered the Turkey Avocado sandwich, which was fantastic! Didn't come with a side of anything, which was little disappointing but honestly the sandwich had filled me up so it wasn't a big deal. My husband ordered the specialty burger they have on Fridays. He liked it! (considering he was hesitant because they had stuff on it he usually doesn't eat.) The only gripe was the bun gets a little soggy after a while with all the sauce they add, which is a pet peeve of mine. No soggy buns. The burger came with homemade chips which was good. Next, we had dessert, some Vanilla Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake type thing, all compact into a cup, and it was amazing!! Definitely recommended. The food was pretty good however the prices were a little high for lunch, overall for us 2 it was about $50 plus tip. I would come back here again, just not too often. Lol
(4)Christine Y.
Amazing food and service!! We did not like the huevos rancheros so the chef replaced with the shrimp and grits. Best grits I've ever had. Also shared the steak sandwich, which was fantastic. Will definitely be back. My husband and I brought our 8 month old daughter, the staff was very accommodating and she also loved the grits.
(5)Evelio R.
Awesome food, great selection of wine and craft beer, and a cozy wooden architectural design. A bit small so it gets packed quickly; hence come early or make reservations. Definitely would return.
(5)The Hungry T.
First off, the service was GREAT. It was busy but we were seated immediately and Kara, our waitress, was phenomenal. She extremely friendly and took her time to give suggestions and answer our questions. We ordered quickly and received our food fast and hot. The food deserves three thumbs up! Fresh and completely symmetrical (if that makes sense). Their steak salad was well tossed so you had the perfect amount of dressing every time! The BLT was also phenomenal! Each bite had the perfect amount of bacon, tomato, arugula, and fresh, fresh avocado. Absolutely LOVED it. Their cornbread was also unreal. The ambiance is fun, unique, and fresh. Loved this place. Definitely a MUST TRY. Again, and again, and again!
(5)Katie C.
I've been here a couple times and every time it's packed. I can tell there is a huge following. Food is good and staff is friendly. I had the Mexican burrito both times and highly recommend it. It's pretty big so you may take some home for a snack later.
(4)Kym C.
Excellent food and service! Yes parking is at a premium but isn't it that way every where in Miami. We went right at noon on a Saturday, got a spot immediately and was served immediately. Crab cake is outrageously good!!!!!
(5)Rachel T.
Came here for brunch today and it did not disappoint! You know it's good when there is a line outside for the 30 minutes before they open. The waiter was nice and speedy. We ate the huevos rancheros (super yummy and beautifully presented) and the country eggs and biscuit (so friggin good - the biscuit was so perfect and the grits were the best I ever had). I'm already planning to come back with friends.
(5)Legna C.
My favorite. Love the space, the food is delicious and innovative / different. Friday's they do a specialty burger and it's always amazing. Fried green tomatoes, bacon wrapped dates, shrimp & grits, the skirt steak salad. Everything is good. Try the bread pudding, whatever flavor it might be. Just do it.
(5)Alejandro R.
When most restaurants expand the quality and service tend to dip significantly. This place is a testament that it does not always have to be that way. I've been frequenting whisk since the prior location in the gables. Then it was a meal counter with 4 tables. Now it's booked into a full service restaraunt. The decor is clean and modern country style spot. It looks very well maintained and not stuffy. It's very comfortable and has an ease to it. The food has never dissapointed. They have amazing fresh ingredients to make the perfect salads and sandwiches. The fried rice is stellar, chock full of vegetables and well seasoned. Something about the coffee just does it right for me. The main entrees are equally delicious. Shrimp and grits that battle most in miami. The standout for me has been a special of quail with grit cakes wilted kale and a mustard sauce. I drool thinking about it. This place does a great job of making rich food not feel so heavy. I haven't had anything over seasoned or drowning in sauces or dressing. I leave here feel fully satiated without the agony and shame I feel after most rich meals. The real star here has to be all the desserts and baked goods. The guava caked has left me with a hole in my heart. I feel empty without it. I just now had the white chocolate blueberry muffin and I'm pretty sure they took my soul with it. A fine crust and crunch on the outside and a moist crumbly muffin inside filled with white chocolate chops and sumptuous blueberries. I took an extra order to go because I couldn't live with myself had I not. The pricing is great but the parking is not. Figure out where to park and get there ASAP!
(5)Hernani A.
We like this place, yes it is one more of the same.... But the ambience is nice, very good service and food is good. Nothing that you cannot get in the other 50 alike restaurants in the gables but well.... We went with a group of friends and everybody was happy with their selections, from the salads to the burgers, even the chicken fingers for the kids were good. And it is easy to find a parking spot. Not too overpriced. Cool.
(4)Andrea A.
So happy to have found this little spot tonight! Especially in South Miami! This is the type of restaurant you'd usually find at Wynwood. Everything from the decor, to the amazing appetizers, and entrees were spectacular! It is a little small but very accommodating and accepts reservations for a group of 4 or more. We went to celebrate my best friend's birthday. Whisk had been recommended to her previously and I can now see why! We started off our meal with the fried green tomatoes, corn on the cobb, roasted corn and Parmesan risotto fritters. My fiancé is a semi-picky eater and he loved every single one of the appetizers. Then we all selected our entrees. I was a little nervous because when you hear of the word Gourmet, you think high prices and small meals that will leave you wanting to drive by mcdonalds to fill up that empty feeling in your stomach but boy was I wrong! I had the Whisk House Salad, the vinaigrette alone was delicious! It felt so light and refreshing yet so filling I ended up bringing half of it home. My fiancé had the spicy seared beef with the sauce on the side and he LOVED it! Everyone else at our table loved their meals! Definitely will be coming back again!
(5)Autumn R.
My friend and I came here for brunch twice, and we like it. I have gotten the shrimp and grits and the pancakes. The shrimp and grits were pretty good- they had a different taste to them because of the added mushrooms. And the pancakes are melt-in-your-mouth good! However, they are VERY sweet, almost desert-like. I can never eat them all because the sweetness can be a bit overwhelming at times. Also, the scrambled eggs with cheese are pretty good! The service is decent and the atmosphere is quaint, rustic-chic, and lovely.
(4)Jasmine R.
Farm to table fresh! Amazing apps, drinks and food. We had the peanut butter and jelly bread pudding- to die! Great place to eat with friends or family! Chicken biscuit is also a must! Oh and I don't like tomatoes and their friend green tomatoes made me a believer!!!
(5)Carms P.
Overpriced and food is ok... One hit wonder. Won't go back.
(3)Carolina M.
I love this place. Today I ordered the steak sandwich in Multigrain bread and hubby had the pork sandwich. I don't remember the exact names. My steak sandwich was amazing! the steak was perfectly cooked as I ordered it (medium ). I'm not sure what else was in there because I was starving and had no time to waste in looking inside. The dressing used added that extra touch that made it unique. Hubby also loved his. I tried a piece and again the combination of flavors was perfect. Even the side salad was out of this world. Garlicky dressing.. Yum! Our favorite part was the dessert. OH MY GOD! it's one of the best bread puddings I've had. It comes in a vanilla bean sauce and on top has a blueberry sauce with granola... I initially thought the granola was a little weird... But boy, oh boy I was so wrong! I don't honestly know how the chef came up with this combination. The result is amazing! I have to say that Louis , our waiter was amazing. 5 stars for you, Louis! Can't wait to go back to try more from their menu. The only thing I'd change is the music volume... It was too loud for my taste.... The good thing is that it was good music
(5)Bee B.
Lovely place with great atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic dinner date or even a group. Friday burgers are always a great way to go. The double burrito dish is great for sharing and I have gotten it to go often to munch on in the car with my partner while on the go. Cornbread is also great as a side accompanying their sandwiches (steak sandwich is awesome).
(5)Anthony B.
I would give this restaurant five stars but the parking is impossible! The staff is friendly the place is clean and pretty much everything on the menu is delicious! From their delicious brussels sprouts to their Fried Green tomatoes, wonderful turkey sandwiches delicious wraps hamburgers etc.! Just rude a bike or walk there because you're not going to find a parking space! Well eventually you will.
(4)Andrea A.
This place makes my heart happy. Good southern cooking and a comfortable atmosphere. I usually get something different every time, but my go-tos are fried green tomatoes, risotto, chicken salad salad and cornbread. The specials are usually good and I've been told burger Friday shouldn't be missed. One of the top restaurants in south Miami.
(5)Crissy S.
The crab cakes were quite possibly the best I have ever had, delicious! I had the hanger steak sandwich as an entree which was good, but the Mahi Mahi my husband ordered was much better- clearly fresh and seasoned to perfection. The service was great, the chef even checked in with us to make sure everything was good. I would definitely return next time I'm in the area.
(4)Ale G.
Whisk is a gem! It's a little whole in the wall but it is always packed! The parking lot is small too so it's a little difficult getting in. I've been to Whisk a few times and love it! I always get the fried green tomatoes and I've had the burrito and steak. The burrito is delicious with shredded pork meat. It taste so fresh and everything you order does too. My boyfriend had the fried chicken and mashed potatoes last time and that was soo good! I think he found his new favorite plate there. I ordered the Chinese style rice with steak. The steak was so soft and good! It really complimented the rice. I don't really like Chinese rice because of all the MSG and the taste. But Whisk makes it light and with veggies. It's just fresh and delicious with zucchini veggies. I love whisk and it never diss appoints! Must try if you've never been!
(4)Haruyo M.
Boyfriend n I tried this place and looooooved it! He's a southern boy and thought the shrimp n grits were delish and took him back to his childhood like the guy from Ratatouille. We also had the onion soup and fried okra which were really yumms too! I liked the cornmeal batter on the okra to give it more crunch. And then adding goat cheese......... Soo happy! Oh we tried the Caesar salad as well..to be "healthy" lol. It was tasty. Server was friendly and spaced our dishes nicely. Bathroom was clean. Will def return.
(5)Liliana E.
After hearing good things about this place for a long, long time...I finally made it. It's great, an absolute gem.
(5)Steve R.
I took my family to Whisk this past weekend. Overall, we had a great experience, with some small frustrations that kept our enthusiasm from being too great. First of all, the parking situation was terrible. I know South Miami doesn't have much in the way of easy parking (except perhaps the Sunset Place garage and a couple of other lots), but the parking situation in front of Whisk is truly, uniquely horrible. There's a tiny parking lot, which can hold perhaps 15 cars, and everyone else can park along a dirt road that runs along the front of the restaurant. Every space along this dirty, muddy path was taken on the night we went, so we were forced to park three or four blocks away and walk to the restaurant. I don't know how possible it would be to have a couple of valet attendants, or what the cost would be, but it would go a long way toward alleviating the situation. The restaurant itself was crowded and noisy, but not unpleasantly so. We were seated within fifteen minutes, and everything went smoothy from there. We had cornbread and pulled pork sandwiches for appetizers, both of which were delicious. I ordered the skirt steak salad, which was truly fantastic, perhaps some of the best steak I have ever had. Overall, the food was excellent, even at the slightly elevated prices (in my cheapskate opinion). Service was snappy and attentive, though our waiter seemed a little overtaxed. He seemed to be working too many tables, so I had a sense he was always on the verge of having a panic attack. I would recommend Whisk to anyone looking for quality American Southern food (fried chicken, steak, and the like) in the South Miami area. It's a wonderful place, even if it's something of an epic journey to get inside. I would suggest, however, that you go during the week, and be ready for something of a complicated parking situation.
(4)Stefano P.
Great neighborhood resteraunt. Especially love the fried green tomatoes. Pretty much all the sandwiches on the menu are great. My only complaint about this resteraunt would be the noise. All the surfaces are hard. Ex. Concrete floors tin ceilings, bare walls. It might look good but it provides zero sound insulation so it can get rather loud. The parking is also impossible. Fortunately, the food overcomes all these inconveniences.
(4)T B.
Amazing Food. Menu changes every few months and the food is always fresh, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Favorite place for Fried Green Tomatoes and the best southern food you'll find in Miami. It can be a little loud but always a great time :) MUST TRY: Fried Green Tomatoes Cornbread with Honey Butter Skirt Steak Salad (holy moly amazing) Whisk Burritos (get two- it's amazing the next day too!!) Whole Fried Fish- sometimes on the specials menu but SO DELICIOUS. Fried Chicken- always crispy and juicy Spicy Seared Beef- it's saucy comfort with perfectly cooked rice and spinach.
(5)Veronica D.
I have been wanting to try whisk for quite some time. I was expecting an over crowded tiny restaurant with bad service and I was completely wrong. My hubby, dtr and I were sat right away and all the servers were completely on point. We ordered fried green tomatoes, avocado Blt sandwich and the turkey sandwich, all of which were amaze balls. But even more orgasmic was the peanut butter mouse cake! I ate the whole thing, and I don't care that gained 5 pounds in one sitting! We will definitely be back!
(5)Juan L.
This place is delicious. My standard experience there would be to try and grab a table by the kitchen window, order the fried chicken as my meal, and bacon wrapped dates and/or cornbread to start. That's if I even make it in, because parking is a giant pain. Half the times I'd like to eat there, I drive all the way over there and am forced to go elsewhere because there is zero available parking. Oh well, still a delicious meal. I recommended it.
(4)Erin H.
I went on a Saturday night and this place was bumpin! Service was great, our server was excellent and attentive. The bacon wrapped dates appetizer was awesome, my fried Bell and Evans chicken breast with gravy was on point! It's tucked away in a strip mall but walking distance to other bars in Sunset Place and South Miami. I really want to go back for brunch too!
(5)Sarah M.
This is by far my favorite restaurant in Miami. Every special occasion is punctuated by a visit here, and the staff is always excellent and the food, oh man the food. Hands down my favorite bacon wrapped dates are made here and we always end up ordering a plate to start and then deciding, you know what, we need another plate. The menu shifts a bit every once in a while, but their fried chicken, pulled pork, corn bread, pimento cheese, pork chop, they've all been winners. Never a bad meal. Oh, and don't forget their bread pudding.
(5)Charity Z.
Love the food and the atmosphere,great place to have a drink. The skirt steak salad is amazing!
(4)TamEra M.
Wow! Is all I can say! The food here is delicious and the white sangria is as well. The only reason I have to give this place 4 stars is bcuz one, the parking is horrendous and two, the wait can sometimes be a minute depending on how many ppl u have in your party. And while you wait go a few doors down and get your lashes, brows or a "tattoo" at HANIC
(4)Branny J.
Let's face it the parking sucks, the service is ok at best, but the FOOD is exquisite. They have the best skirt steak sandwich and the cornbread is phenomenal! P.S. Not sure who this Annie chick is but she's great too.
(5)Cat T.
Great food. Southern rustic decor, gourmet comfort food - as good as many excellent Charleston SC foodie-ish restaurants that I love, and believe me, I am no "foodie"!
(5)Martin O.
This is one of the best lunches you can have in South Florida. I had lunch here with South Florida's Favorite Yelp Foodie and she ordered up the appetizers: The Corn on the Cob was clearly the best I've ever had in a long time and a Roasted Pork Dish. Both went well with my Arnold Palmer that was served in a small Mason Canning Jar. She also ordered up some Fried Potato Chips (Hot, Oily, Crispy). For a main course I had the Burger which was perfectly prepared. I had a taste of their Corn Bread which was also very good with small kernels of corn inside. The owner, Kristin Conner came by to say hi, she looked at our table of food and said, "that's a Strong Order". I've never heard that line before, but all I was thinking at the time is taking home the left overs. For dessert, their Key Lime Pie was also very good. Whisk Gourmet is located in a remote area several long blocks from the Sunset Mall. Parking around it is very limited. A reservation is recommended during peak hours.
(5)Madeline M.
Being a Miami native I can't believe I had never visited WHISK til last Saturday... The place was packed but luckily a seat at the bar became available shortly after I arrived at 8pm. The atmosphere was warm, the staff was friendly, attentive and gave great suggestions for a first timer and the patrons raved about their previous visits... I had a spectacular meal, made some new acquaintences and even ran into a old family member I'd not seen in a while... Kudos to WHISK and ask Arnold would say "I'll Be Back"....
(5)Lisset N.
My husband and I LOVE this place! We eat there 2-3 times a month....although it is a little pricey, the food is well worth it! Burger Fridays are our favorite! The burgers are huge, ridiculously delicious (a creative new burger every week) and the house-made chips w/ Parmesan are extremely addictive. Another great dish is the fried chicken with smashed potatoes and veggies---probably the best veggies I've ever eaten! Fried green tomatoes and corn on the cob are other favorites :) The staff are always friendly and service is always en pointe. I've only experienced one issue where my burger was under-cooked, but the manager made sure to have it done right and removed the charge from the bill. Yes, the parking is a hassle due to limited amount of spaces, but there is plenty of street parking around the restaurant (a little walking before/after a meal is not so bad---make an evening out of it; walk over to B&N or window-shop). Overall, a great little restaurant, which, I agree, should expand to a larger space with more parking as long as it doesn't compromise the quality of the food or the service.
(5)Damian A.
Had some great seats by the kitchen that allowed me to not only read the menu but see some of the dishes. I was immediately attracted to the corn in a visible sense. However, seeing is not tasting. After taking one magical bite into one, I was transported to a buttery heaven plush with flavors and explosions. That was just the corn!!! All else was just as tantalizing. 25 mile drives don't seem too far anymore for this result.
(5)Usu I.
Fantastic menu and so much to choose from. Rarely do I have such difficulty figuring out what I would like to eat, and I found Whisk's menu was very appealing. The food was great quality and I enjoyed it very much. I have only been here once, and I plan to go again and try other dishes.
(4)Karla S.
Whisk me up! Quite frankly, I am not easy to please -- just ask my husband, the poor thing. However, this place sang sweet music to my ears. So what brings me to rate Whisk Gourmet so highly? Quality and ambiance. The iced tea was the perfect choice to cool down on a hot Miami day. The fried green tomatoes were crisp, not too greasy, tart and so delicious. Now, what stole my heart was my tuna sandwich and home made chips. The right amount of home made mayo, nice fresh bread, perfectly sized chunks of fresh tuna (no canned cat food anywhere here), and crispy salty chips to balance it all out. I was naughty during my visit to Whisk. I had heard stories about their rich and creamy, brilliant creation of a key lime pie. Naturally, I had to order a slice. The verdict? Heaven. You better believe I will be back for more.
(4)Mach S.
Worst service ever!!!! Ordered Eggs Benedict and they came totally overcooked, waiter was not willing to bring me a new plate. Sandwiches and food are mediocre. Never coming back to this place again!
(1)Claudia A.
Absolutely amazing! I had the house whisk salad with chicken and omg it's just so tasty. My husband had the crab fried rice and it was soooooo delicious! Chunks of crab and veggies in a generous dish. A definite good dish!
(5)Shaan B.
Loved the food and beer selection here. Split the filet mignon sandwich and turkey sandwich with a co worker and a sour beer. Hardly ever see sour beer especially in Miami so that was pretty impressive. The other food looked amazing as well.
(4)H. Deborah S.
I've been back a couple of times now and can say that the owner must have heard the rally cry for more fresh items on the menu. The service and food was totally on point tonight. Amazing news flash for those who don't know - this is not a high art food delivery station. It's comfort food done well...very well tonight. I like they added so many great salads and veggie options. We knocked back some stellar beer selections, a couple of salads that were enormous and delicious, a fried chicken (excellent, if not a bit salty), and a sandwich without the bread. Oh yeah...and two deserts. The first was so good, we had to have another just to make sure we weren't dreaming. It's a busy place with limited parking in the lot, however, there is plenty of parking within a two block radius so don't let that keep you away. What ever you are doing...just keep doing it!
(4)Karl T.
Really good high quality food. I'm definitely coming back. Everything is fresh and the atmosphere is great.
(5)Laura A.
The food is good , not blown away by this place , but still recommend people to try it The flatbread Brie and arugula was pretty good As well as the spicy Seared steak,( that was my fav)! Big portion served with coconut jasmin rice and vegetables, The white Leeche sangia was good, but very sweet and not enough alcohols The key lime pie was very good
(3)Terry L.
It started off as an echo, then a whisper, finally a scream of me having to try out this restaurant! I finally had to try this place and had high expectations coming in and I am happy to say that those expectations were met! You can easily drive past this place as it is located on a little road, one that I never had even drove on in my many years of shopping and even going to school within the vicinity. I expected this large store front with a large parking lot, instead I was met with a small parking lot and a small store front (which is great as it told me that this place is intimate and must be excellent with it having so many great reviews and it being hidden away). Upon entering, you notice so many things... The size of the place is pretty intimate, the ceiling's memorizing design, the open kitchen, the bar and the actual whisks designed to wrap around some lights as decor. Looking at the menu... I did not know where to start and what to order... Everything looked so good... I heard about the sandwiches and wanted to give that a shot but other things were poking out. I ended up ordering the following... Soda of the day - The flavor escapes me but as the waitress explained to me... It simply is Sizzling Water with a flavor added to it. I really did not care for it as it did not come across as "soda" just flavored water but kudos to a great concept. Fried Corn on the Cobb - This was amazing and so flavorful (maybe it was Cayenne-Honey Butter that was given to add on the corn). Due to it being fried it was a little crispy but kept the juiciness that you get when you sink your teeth into corn. Low Country Shrimp & Grits - As I don't care for cheese, I did not try this (my sister did) and she loved it. I'm surprised that they consider this as an appetizer as the amount given was alot and really filled her up prior to her entree. Warm Homemade Cornbread - This was so moist and had pieces of corn inside, not the best I've had, but it was warm and moist. Braised BBQ Chicken - This was my entree. It was well executed. The chicken was well cooked but the real star of the dish was the Molasses BBQ sauce that was placed over the chicken (it kept me licking my fingers). The mashed potatoes were the best, in fact, it was the best mashed potatoes I ever had and you could tell it was freshly made with real potatoes. BBQ Grilled Pork Chop - This was my sisters entree. She advised me that she did not care for the dish but advised that she was accustomed to it being made differently. Blue Crab & Roasted Corn Fried Rice - I took this as a to go dish. Unfortunately, I did not really care for it as it had a burnt aftertaste. It was simply crab meat sliced and placed in fried rice. Overall, I enjoyed myself and service was OK. I would definitely dine here again and would encourage you to do the same. As a note - Fridays are the only day that they serve burgers and I heard that they are very good.
(4)Amy Jo A.
Been wanting to have lunch here for a long time. Went with hubby and sister in law and was great. Lovely selection for lunch as far as salads and sandwiches go. Grilled sweet potatoe and asparagus salad yummy. Bread pudding for dessert. Parking is a bitch and that's why four stars. Something needs to change there and also no reservations. All in all worth going for. Also sister in law said quiche is great but only on Sunday.
(4)Lisa R.
All I can say, LOVE LOVE LOVE! Small, quaint, and totally cool gastro pub! Great for groups and beers with Amazing food! We had a crap load too! Brussel sprouts with maple bacon, fried green tomatoes with dipping sauce, pulled pork slides that I would marry if it was legal to do that sort of thing! Ha! And as a main course I had the pork chop! Dude, it was so big, like something out of the Flinstones! So friggin good! Plus the BEER!! Their menu is actually not elaborate, yet they have something for everyone! So many yummy craft beers to drink and enjoy! It was so great and refreshing to find this place in our own backyard! So come on down! What are you waiting for! GO! DO IT! You won't regret it!
(5)Lissette C.
Whisk'd away like I can't explain! I went for dinner and had Corn on the Cob (my favorite small plate of all time), fried chicken, mashed potatoes and broccoli. The food was A+, portions, timing and all. Our waiter was a little spaced out, but it wasn't bad enough to deter me from coming back. Bonus: the actual restaurant is the cutest, it feels like home.

Second time eating here and figured it deserves a great review! First time I ate at the restaurant...this time I ordered to go. First experience...food was Delicious!! I had the turkey sandwhich. The only thing I dislike is the parking!! It is BAD!! they share a lot with other businesses in a small strip plaza and WILL TOW YOUR CAR if you don't park in the designated Whisk parking. Trying to find parking there is indescribably horrible! However when you do find parking...it's worth the hassle once you bite into the food. Today I ordered pulled pork sliders, corn bread and the fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes!!! All of them were so yummy!!! Will be back again!

Great place in a great location! The service is amazing. The crowd is great, very familiar. They serve cold beer which is rare in Miami. And to top it off good food. Highly Recomended
(5)Patty K.
Too busy. I love this place but I can never help feeling both impatient and rushed whenever I come. Makes me wish there were more places that offered this combo of what should be a cozy neighborhood spot and truly good casual food.

This place was such a find in South Miami! I'm so glad I got the chance to go today. Highly recommend parking elsewhere in the area and walking to the restaurant (very limited parking). I ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with house chips and split the fried green tomatoes with a friend. The fried green tomatoes were excellent, especially with the sauce. The BBQ pork sandwich was also super delicious and the servings were generous (I wasn't able to finish it). The ambience was nice and homey, though it was a bit loud and I think my friend and I had to speak louder than usual to communicate. Well worth the trip! I'd love to try the cornbread, skirt steak salad, and desserts next time.

Make sure you start with the fried green tomatoes! Nice little place to have a meal. Not good for big groups last time I went.

Thank you Yelp'ers for not steering me wrong. Quietly tucked away on a little side street lies Whisk, but don't let that fool you! The coziness and aroma alone will bring you back to this lovely little spot. Their menu was creative and included many fresh lunch options. I had the Turkey Brie on Multigrain and my mom went with the fish sandwich special of the day. Both were served tightly wrapped in parchment paper (great for avoiding messy sandwich sliding) and perfectly allowed you to evenly bite through and enjoy all ingredients equally. I was most surprised by the simple arugula salad served as a side; very fresh and tasty with a slightly sweet dressing, not overwhelming. The fresh squeezed lemonade was a perfect thirst quencher on our 80 degree Miami day. Large portion sizes for lunch and not too expensive, $13-16/sandwich; given quality and quantity I am not complaining at all. The only negative I experienced was with service. Great host, attentive when walking in and leaving, food came out extremely fast (it even arrived before our lemonade!), but our server wasn't quite as attentive. We had to flag a different server just to remind them of our drink order and, although he obliged, he wiped down 3 unoccupied tables and disappeared into the back before notifying the bar and returning with our drinks. Overall, this quaint spot was great for lunch. Will happily return to try their dinner entrees in the future. Enjoy!

Whisk. You are awesome. I like your style. Your food. Your friendly staff. Your house made chips with Parmesan are killer. I absolutely crave your fried green tomato salad with buttermilk dressing (hold the bacon). Your cheesy grits are perfection. Your brussels sprouts are the new black. Did I mention the amazing cornbread? Thank you. I will be back. Again and again.
(5)Yesenia S.
Do not come here and leave without having the fried green tomatoes and warm coconut bread pudding.
(5)Leslie A.
Whisk is consistently excellent! The sangria is wonderful, and the food is fantastic. The ceviche was top notch, as was the pulled pork sliders and the baby back ribs were fall off the bone tender. This place is great and worth a visit. The only drawback is the parking. Fortunately you can usually get a paying spot on Red Road, but it would be nice if their parking lot was bigger All in all it is a fantastic restaurant. The service is also really great. Whisk is a well oiled machine that puts out exemplary food!
(5)Raquel D.
The service was excellent. Such nice staff and the food was really good. We went for Sunday brunch which is served until 4pm - which is awesome. Quality food for the price. It's a quaint and comfortable place. Their biscuits and jam are amazing. I will definitely return!
(4)Cathleen P.
Whisk never disappoints. We have always had amazing meals here. This past Sunday we had brunch at Whisk and everything was delicious. I had the vegetable quiche. My date had the eggs benedict, with perfectly poached eggs! A rarity in Miami. Needless to say Whisk is always at the top of my list. Great food, great ambiance.

After hearing rave reviews, I finally made my over to WHISK. Blink & you'll miss it, WHISK is a hidden gem in South Miami. I came in with a friend around 12:30pm on a Saturday, and was seated right away. One look at the menu and I was excited to try the sandwiches I had heard so much about. Kicked off by ordering the 'Soda of the Day' which was strawberry lime. A little too carbonated, yet it was perfectly sweet. Our waiter was extremely patient with me trying to decide on what to order. Anyone who dines with me, knows I take forever to make a decision. I finally just asked my waiter to show me some of his favorites, and I was instantly sold me on the mahi mahi sandwich! My buddy ended up ordering the tuna melt. The mahi mahi sandwich comes with a side salad, that is just as delicious as the sandwich. My god... That sandwich was delish!! It came on a multi grain bread with lettuce, tomato, onions and some tarter like sauce. Sooo good! I didn't want my sandwich to end! Haha. My buddy claimed that his tuna melt was probably the best tuna melt he's ever had! I didn't have dessert because I was too full, but definitely will next time! The staff and my waiter (who's name slips my mind, but he had the pretty blue eyes!) were awesome! Extremely friendly and generous! Bravo, WHISK! You've gained two new fans that will be back again soon! :)

Whisk is a hidden gem, hidden in location but not in renown. This place is /always/ packed and with good reason - killer food and a great ambiance. Is it hard to park here? Yes. It is annoying to wait? Yes. Is it worth the wait? Absolutely. I have not had the pleasure of a brunch at Whisk, but I have experienced both Lunch and Dinner - both of which were very pleasant and full of surprises. Appetizers: Chicken' Biscuit - Buttery heaven. This is a southern staple with a twist and i loved it. Fried Green Tomatoes - This is what everyone talks about, and with good reason. That buttermilk dressing could make anything taste good, so putting it on something that is already great takes it to a new level. Warm Homemade Cornbread - It is good, not out of this world, but I think that is only due to the comparison with the other two dishes I tried. This is a solid cornbread and nothing to scoff at. Entrees/Sides: Fried Bell & Evans Chicken Breast - This was fried chicken perfection! Moist inside, crispy outside, tons of flavor. The smashed potatoes and bacon gravy were wonderful additions to an already great fried chicken. Would order again! Pork Tenderloin Sandwich - Be still my heart. Caramelized onions AND red pepper aioli?? Sign me up, all day. It was amazing. Desserts: I haven't made it to dessert.. I KNOW! I am terrible, I will do it next time. The service is good, but it's easy for waiters and waitresses to lose track of water glasses and small things, mainly due to the amount of people in such a small place. It's not that bad, honestly, and the waitresses and waiters I've had have all been funny, upbeat and took the edge off of the "wait frustration" immediately. All in all, Whisk is always a great experience. As long as you are in good company, the wait will go quickly and you can get to the amazing food and continue your good time. Don't fear the line, embrace it, be one with the line, and when you are.. your name will be called!

Bringing the best of the South to Miami! The burrito is so delicious. Big enough to split or save the rest for lunch the next day (...or later that evening...).
(5)Mike U.
This has been a long time coming! Finally, the day has arrived. I was able to find some time to make my way over there for lunch. The only thing is...the parking situation. It definitely is not the best... Small lot, small street, & street parking is a bit of a distance away. - Triggerfish Ceviche. A special of the day. Chunks of triggerfish, which isn't always available, had a good texture and bite to the fish. Not too overly sour and punched in the face with lime, but balanced. Served with plantain chips so that you can scoop 'em up and have a little bite, chew and crunch all at the same time. - WHISK Gourmet Southern Pulled Pork Burritos (2), yes, you read that right, you get (2) burritos, two of them, dos, deuce! These burritos are actually a pretty hefty size. It is packed with jasmine rice, black beans, shredded muenster cheese, pico de gallo, avocado & peppadew cream. The pulled pork is still juicy and you can taste the seasoning, it is well put together. This massive portion will definitely have you taking some home... The combination of the ingredients really went well with each other. Make sure you ask for the house hot sauce...it's MONEY! - Heath Bread Pudding: Crumbled heath bits and pieces over a warm caramelly bread pudding that is not too overly sweet...JUST PERFECT! It is so soft and creamy in the center, as you put a spoonful in your mouth it just has a party all up in there!!! Delicious! I am a fan of WHISK! Definitely cannot wait until the next visit!
(5)Joann C.
Had to try the fried green tomatoes as they are on every review I saw. Must say that I was not disappointed at all. Go for it ... You will not be disappointed either. Had the Fried Bell and Evans Chicken Breast (on a tour of all the places that serve fried chicken in Miami). It was fried perfectly! - outside was crispy while not being dry inside. Love the bacon gravy and smashed potatoes. It was your quintessential southern dish complete with honey green beans. My friend had the pork chop and was worried that it would be dry. The pork chop was nowhere near dry. In fact, this dish almost stole the show (until the dessert arrived)! I also couldn't keep my fork away from the fingerling potatoes ... Yum! Desserts are seasonal and change quickly. However, if the bread pudding makes it to the menu when you're there make sure you snag yourself a slice!
(3)Alex A.
What an awesome restaurant. Excellent comfort food with exceptional service. Had the Judge's Choice Burger which was acclaimed by many. I really liked it and served with an awesome salad. Great craft beer selection to boot. The final plate was their desert, famous bread pudding. Delicious desert that's very unique. Overall will be heading back soon to savor their other plates and indulge in their excellent taste in food. Update: Visited again for Mother's Day. Brunch was great and food was awesome. Their homemade muffins were great. Definitely a hit!
(5)Erin M.
GREAT small hidden southern food gem in south Miami. A huge fan of the green tomatoes, burrito, and skirt steak salad. LOVE the staff they always remember myself & my husband by name and know what our usual is. Love that.
(5)Joanne M.
My favorite restaurant in South Florida! I'm here a few times a month and I've never had a bad meal. Everything is delicious. I myself prefer the shrimp n' grits, spicy seared beef and key lime pie but honestly everything is great. They also have the best brunch. Can't believe it took me this long to review Whisk. If you haven't been, make the drive, it's worth it.
(5)Shana W.
Wow! This place is awesome. I came for a birthday dinner with my girls. Each of us with some weird eating habit. 1 vegan, 1 gluten free, and 1 allergic to fish. This place was able to cater to ALL 3. This is what we all ordered and loved it!!!!! Vegan - Fried corn with no butter; portobello mushroom sandwich with extra chips and avocado, and lychee sangria. Gluten Free - Lemonade, baked bbq chicken with veggies. No Fish - BBQ Pork Burritos, sangria and key lime pie. We were stuffed and so happy. BUT, the best part was our waiter KIAH!!! Once he heard about our weird habits, he confirmed with the chef at the start of the meal what we could all eat. And if he didn't know then we made sure to find out. He was so funny and personable. He didn't try to pretend to know the menu, he really knew it and would ask questions if he didn't. We didn't feel neglected or bombarded. If you have a chance then take a seat with KIAH!!! I will definitely come back
(5)Diana M.
They simply had to open up a brick and mortar because the catering is sooooo good that we were rooting for more!
(5)Camila G.
I used to go to whisk when they were a very small restaurant at Le Jeune road. So Good and fresh. Now they definitely got bigger and better!! I love this place! My husband craves about their burrito and I am obsessed with their sandwiches and salads.
(5)Joey D.
I'm usually very optimistic when trying a new restaurant. However my experience at Whisk was not a good one. My partner and I decided to go for brunch, served only on Sunday. The cornerstone of any good breakfast for me is coffee. I was served a cup of "dirtwater" for $3.25. I could see thru the cup. It looked more like a cup of tea, and it was maybe 6 oz of liquid. It was advertised as Panther Coffee; but trust me, Panther would never serve a cup of coffee this way. I spoke to my waitress about the coffee being sub-standard. She agreed with me, but said there was nothing she could do about it. The coffee was "pre-proportioned that way by the owner", I assume to maximize profits. It was insulting, frankly. How difficult is it to brew a good cup of coffee? The food was a mixed bag. My partner had the pancakes, which honestly weren't that good. I make better pancakes from scratch. I had granola parfait, which was good. The service was poor. Nobody was rude to us per se, but the staff is not terribly attentive, most of them talking to each other, or to patrons they know. The place is very small, super busy and super loud. It was near impossible to get anyone's attention. I felt rushed and unwelcome. The dinner menu looks promising on paper. Maybe if the service got better I'd give it another chance. But if you're looking for a good breakfast, I'd skip it, save your $$ and cook at home.
(1)Marbella A.
Fried green tomatoes are a MUST delicious!! Great beer selection, great atmosphere, service was excellent and the parking was fast.
(4)Cristina M.
I came here for dinner with my family and the service was great and the food was delicious. The only reason this place does not get 5 stars from me is because the parking for this restaurant was a mission. If you do not want to get a parking ticket you have to make sure you hunt a driver down as soon as they back out the parking lot. Other then that the service was excellent, they were able to make a grilled cheese for my step daughter without hesitation (It was not offered on the menu) and they comped my glass of wine in which I appreciated very much! Overall a nice restaurant!
(4)Nathalie B.
If you can get over the awful parking situation and the long wait, this is a wonderful little restaurant. We went on a Friday night for dinner and ordered the Bacon Wrapped, Gorgonzola Stuffed Dates and the Pork Tenderloin Masitas. The dates were amazing! I can see why this is such a popular dish. The Masitas were, meh. I probably wouldn't order those again. I originally wanted the fried green tomatoes but my BF vetoed that one lol. He ordered the Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs as his entree, which were delicious and very tender. I ordered the Balsamic Marinated Skirt-Steak Salad with Goat Cheese Fritter . I found it odd that they called this dish a salad when really it's just a delicious skirt steak with a small side of salad. Regardless, I would recommend this dish. The steak was cooked to perfection and deliciously seasoned. The the goat cheese fritter...to die for. My daughter ordered the kids chicken fingers. Usually she removed the breading of her chicken fingers but she didn't do that here. She devoured them (breading and all)! I would definitely come here again!
(4)Nina R.
One of my favorite go to restaurants for delicious comfort food! The dates, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken salad, steak sandwich and burgers are all amazing!
(5)Kara T.
Delicious. Sit near the kitchen to get the best recommendations from the chefs. The steak sandwich was literally to die for. I'm not a steak kind of girl, but it got me. Piled high- a perfect combination of textures. They brought us complimentary breakfast hash, which was very flavorful and tasty. It's a hearty dish. We also had the fried green tomatoes, which weren't my number one, but I wasn't upset about them either. I don't think I'd get them again. I needed a little more crisp. Overall- LOVE! Great ambience, food, service. I'm itching to get to more of their menu.
(5)Tierra H.
The food is delicious. Vanessa at the Bar was amazing. My only complaint is the parking. I had the fish, my daughter had the ribs (which was the best) and we also tried the shrimp and grits all of the food was hmmm hmmm good. This place stays packed.
(5)Maritel C.
Best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had! The service was exceptional. My only complaint would be the white whine sangria. It was overpriced for what it was.
(4)Hortensia A.
So on the quest for food, famished from shopping at dadeland, we decided to look on yelp for close places and we found this hidden gem! This place is adorable and a bit rustic, yet welcoming and cool all at once! The only reason it gets 4 stars vs 5 is the parking. It's a nightmare! But as far as the food, killer! ( ok, not a good word to use with food, but it was great!) For starters we had the fried green tomatoes. They were tart and savory. With a buttermilk dipping sauce that I would like to slather on everything! As a main course I went light and had the turkey and Brie sandwich. It was delicious. If you're not into sweet and savory, request the cranberry mayo on the side. My boyfriend ordered the pork chop. Not only was it one of the most delicious chops ever, it was colossal! For dessert we had the pumpkin bread pudding. It was ok, not my fav. Needed to be sweeter and softer. The only serve beer and wine and only have American coffee. Once they decide to get an expresso machine and full liquor license, they are going to need to expand because this place will be a contender in south Miami! Happy eating !
(4)Nick P.
My wife and i stopped at Whisk for lunch on our way back from the Florida Keys. We saw the good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. We were not disappointed! The food was excellent. We ordered a fried green tomato appetizer which was extremely good. It was served with what I believe was homemade ranch. We also order coffee and breakfast. The coffee was some of the best I've had, no kidding. I got huevos rancheros and my wife got steak and eggs. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The side of potatoes were delicious. The huevos rancheros was exceptional. The pico de gallo was so good, I just wished there had been more! The atmosphere was really great. Small artsy place. Loved the decor. Although they were really busy the service was very fast and friendly. Whisk is a great brunch place to try in Miami. Would definitely go again.
(5)Desi K.
I tried Whisk for the first time a few days ago when my mom and I were looking for a lunch spot in the area. I picked this spot because I love southern food and photos posted on Yelp looked amazing . My mom was actually a little hesitant to try it because she had been there once during the first few weeks when they first opened and had a bad experience. I convinced her to give it a second chance since most restaurants take some time to get it together after they open and that been a while ago. We were starving so I called ahead 8 minutes beforehand to make sure there wasn't a long wait. The hostess said there was no one and that we should be fine. When we got there a few minutes later, there were 5 different parties ahead of us. I was a little peeved that the hostess didn't let us know that lunch there can get full so quickly but it was a lesson learned: always put your name down ahead of time just to be safe. We decided to eat at the bar where two seats had just opened up. It was a good decision because our waitress/bartender, Vanessa, was very, very sweet and attentive. The food was everything I hoped for. I ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, the fried green tomatoes and a side of grits. My mom ordered the pulled pork burrito and really enjoyed it. I recommend Whisk but if you decide to go during their busy hours, beware that parking can be very, very limited since it's in a tiny parking area and lots of people are trying to get a spot at one time.
(4)Jennifer G.
I couldn't wait to go to whisk after all the good things i heard from friends...def one of my favorite restaurants! Great service and amazing food. The bacon wrapped dates are a MUST HAVE and the white sangria was to die for. Chicken biscuits were out of this world, and for entree i had the JUICIEST pork chop! I give it 5 stars! Def coming back! :)
(5)Mina G.
Recently I saw the Zagat top 50 of miami, WHISK made the list so I had to try it. Needless to say, it was amazing! The flatbread was so delicious, the best kind of savory. Then we had the turkey and Brie sandwich on wheat and the fried chicken salad. Both to die for and some of the better fried chicken in Miami. Dessert was the cake, also very good with great local coffee from Panther. All in all I would go again, good food at a great price!! Make reservations!
(5)Elizabeth M.
Let me start off saying that my husband was upset because I hadn't suggested going to this place sooner! We were just blown away with our meal...in fact, we asked for seconds of our appetizer! Here's what we had: Low Country Shrimp & Grits - We ordered more it was that good! Btw my hubby wasn't a fan of grits... Until now! You have to try this!!! Whole Snapper with Peanut Sauce and Jasmin Rice (Special of the day) - It was perfect, we just wished the fish was bigger. lol Warm Heath Bar Bread Pudding - OMG we left the restaurant and couldn't stop talking about how good it was! Our new favorite dessert!!! Counting the days until we return!
(5)Tess O.
Quirky and pricey-- two words that perfectly describe WHISK. 3 sandwhiches, 3 beers, and a cornbread came out to $75 not including tip. The sandwhiches are absolutely delicious-- I tried the tuna melt, and at $8 I didn't feel like it was too pricey. However, I still don't feel like I got a good meal for what I paid because the presentation was poor. The sandwhich had deli type paper around it as if id picked it up at a local Cuban coffee shop. To me, presentation is everything! The corn bread appetizer was $7, and it brought 3 cubes of corn bread that broke apart the minute I picked one up. It was so dry that I had to use butter, which I really dislike on principle. One reason I had returned to this restaurant was the berry lemonade. It is pink, comes in a mason jar, and tipped off with raspberries, blackberries, and orange slices. Delicious! Unfortunately, they were all out. I think they should be better stocked in their most popular drink option. The staff had always been courteous and friendly. The wait is usually pretty long, so make a reservation or get there BEFORE you are hungry so your stomach doesn't devour itself while you wait.
(3)Angeli O.
I love, love, LOVE Whisk! I have been coming here for almost two years and I really enjoy its cozy and quaint atmosphere. I live around 5 minutes away and I reached a point a couple of months ago where I got take-out every single day for two weeks. No. Shame. Their turkey-cranberry salad and their cornbread are my absolute favorite things to get, but I have yet to try something that I have not liked. A place where I have been for romantic dates, casual hangouts with friends, and birthday dinners. A+ !!!
(4)Rob P.
I've been here once and bought every sandwich on the menu for my coworkers. Everyone loved their sandwich. The bartender was cute too :P
(5)Yudith G.
I've been here plenty; never disappoints. The place very cute and cozy. They have daily specials. Food is very fresh; organic. The have a variety of beers and wines. Their burgers are amazing! I love their pork fingerlings w/ blue cheese and fried green tomatoes as appetizers. As an entree, the buttermilk fried chicken breast is my favorite. The grilled BBQ pork chop is very good as well. Only negative is the parking, it's very limited. MUST TRY THIS PLACE!
(5)Talal A.
Creative southern comfort food. Everybody likes fried food which is Whisk's signature. I try to avoid fried food when I can but if I decide to eat it, Whisk would be the choice. They have good other non-fried choices that are really delicious such as the tenderloin on hoagie and pork ribs. This is a must try place in Miami.
(3)Christian R.
One of my favorite spots to eat. Hands down the best pork chop. Everything I have tried here is delicious--fried green tomatoes, bacon-wrapped dates, corn bread, pork sliders, fried chicken... you name it and it's delicious. Don't hesitate to eat here.
(5)I- D.
And now a Haiku: A date here this weekend The fried chicken got me laid Whisk, thanks for the Clap Actually in all likelihood there's no risk of VD as a result of this encounter but as Haikus go, one can be pressed to bend the story line in order to fit the metrics. The first two stanzas are true. Thank you Whisk!
(5)Paige U.
Took my nephew, a UM student, out for lunch here early on a Friday afternoon. He lives close by of course, and had heard of it but never eaten here yet. I was excited to try it from all the good reviews, so we headed over. It was not busy when we got there and there was space in the little lot, so for me parking was not a problem. The lot was small though, so I could see how parking would be a problem on Friday or Saturday night. The inside of the place is very cute, great decor, feels comfy and fun, but it's small. However, since it wasn't busy, we were seated right away. The hostess was nice and friendly, and our waiter was fantastic, very friendly, and answered all our questions. 5 stars for the staff. Now, onto the food, we ordered 2 teas, the caramelized onion and brie flatbread, the homemade cornbread, and the pulled pork sliders - $48 with tip. Everything was good, nothing disappointed or excited.... it was just good. I've had better, but I've had worse. 3 stars for the food. Maybe the other menu items are better, and that's what everyone's raving about. I suppose it is similar in price to other area restaurants, but I think that at $13 for a brie flatbread, that flatbread should at least wow me.
(3)Jessica S.
One of our favorite neighborhood spots! Busy all the time, but for a good reason. Bacon wrapped dates are out of this world good, as are the fried green tomatoes. The tuna wrap sucked though. Parking is also horrible, the lot is always full.
(5)Adam S.
Came here for a special occasion lunch (anniversary of the day wife & I first met). We were attracted to this place because its menu reminded us of an atlanta restaurant. We were correct too. This is an above average higher end southern food place with a heavy focus on salads and sandwiches. My wife loved this place. I liked it. We had fried grits for an appetizer. It was a tasty dish. Not gonna blow your socks off, but they are grits so go figure. I had the grouper BBQ "rueben." It was fried grouper on my choice of whole wheat or multigrain with slaw, tomato, and Carolina BBQ sauce. The fish was well fried and the sandwich itself was actually very nice. My only issue with this dish was, can you really call something that doesn't have a single component of a traditional rueben a "rueben?" I mean the bread, no sauerkraut, no Russian dressing, no corned beef... How is that a rueben? I don't want to get bogged down in that though. Also tried their homemade soda that was orange and jalepeno flavored. Tasty, but a little flat (I told the waitress). Service was great and prices were quite reasonable. Very solid place.
(4)Stefan S.
Yelp helped me find this place while I was exploring the greater Miami area--and what a perfect lunch spot! The inside has that clean rustic barn feel, or maybe a cross between contemporary and country kitchen... you get the idea. The food was all super fresh and tasty, and the staff all seemed very friendly. Waiter recommended the crispy Brussels sprouts, which were a light and yummy way to start off our meal. I tried the un-traditional B.L.T., which was nothing like your moms boring excuse for a sandwich. It was filled with a generous helping of delicious thick-cut bacon, a creamy buttermilk spread, and fresh haas avocado--all tied together with fluffy bread so perfectly toasted on the outside. Definitely check this place out!
(5)Daniela M.
Parking was horrible. Appetizers were OK. I had the huevos rancheros which I did not like at all.
(2)Yessenia R.
Love it!! Great fried chicken and fried green tomato. I enjoy it every time I go. Presentation is lovely and service is very pleasant.
(5)Stefano P.
Great neighborhood resteraunt. Especially love the fried green tomatoes. Pretty much all the sandwiches on the menu are great. My only complaint about this resteraunt would be the noise. All the surfaces are hard. Ex. Concrete floors tin ceilings, bare walls. It might look good but it provides zero sound insulation so it can get rather loud. The parking is also impossible. Fortunately, the food overcomes all these inconveniences.
(4)T B.
Amazing Food. Menu changes every few months and the food is always fresh, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Favorite place for Fried Green Tomatoes and the best southern food you'll find in Miami. It can be a little loud but always a great time :) MUST TRY: Fried Green Tomatoes Cornbread with Honey Butter Skirt Steak Salad (holy moly amazing) Whisk Burritos (get two- it's amazing the next day too!!) Whole Fried Fish- sometimes on the specials menu but SO DELICIOUS. Fried Chicken- always crispy and juicy Spicy Seared Beef- it's saucy comfort with perfectly cooked rice and spinach.
(5)Dan B.
I don't know why the name is in all caps, so I'm wondering if "WHISK" is an acronym: ....Waiting Hopeless Inside a Southern Kitchen...? OK, maybe not. I can say for sure, however, that WHISK is quite the hot spot in South Miami right now. It's crazy-popular, though i didn't figure that out until later. We arrived here early, after an airboat tour in the Everglades. We were feeling tired, somewhat crumpled and very underdressed (the other patrons and staff were looking quite dressy). The place was also tiny and cramped. So even though tables were available, our family ordered food for pickup later. I didn't actually experience the insane popularity of WHISK until I showed up 30 minutes later to get our food: the small parking lot was full, with several cars waiting for a space; plus there was a short line of cars on the road (waiting behind them, I guess). The entryway of the restaurant was packed full of people, and another line of people were waiting outside the front door. There was no street parking for at least two blocks. It's a good thing that mom-in-law came with me to grab the goods (while I circled the block in the car). I thought, "This must be it; I have found the source of the fabled ambrosia!" For that could be the only explanation for what I was seeing here. When we brought the food home, here's what I had (all apps): -- Fried green tomatoes: ($7) Evenly battered, perfectly done and delicious; not too oily. Best i've ever had. -- Pulled pork sliders: ($10) Very tasty, with large chunks of lean and smoky pork; Oh yeah. -- Low country shrimp and grits: ($11) Just decadent; with bacon and scallions mixed in to the grits; actually a little too rich for my taste; but yes, I ate it all. -- Cornbread: ($6) The only disappointment; nice flavor but too dry. I've had better (Thanks Mom.) Ok...yeah - So the food was pretty damn good (4.5 stars), but I can't say I would wait in a long line to eat in this tiny space. Unfortunately WHISK does not take reservations, so that is the only option during normal meal hours. If you're claustrophobic or dislike lines, then take-out is really your best option.

Whisk used to be great but it's kind of jumped the shark. We went for brunch today and got running eggs, uncooked bacon and pancakes that were both burned and raw. We even sent the pancakes back to have them return the same as they left. I had the shrimp and grits which were excellent, but it couldn't make up for the other mistakes. Hopefully it was a bad day, but I don't think we'll be back for brunch again. Also, they gave us a half full cup of coffee and never refilled it.

Out of towners here... read other yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. Small but craft draft beer selection. Not a wine person but the list looked long. Ordered the chicken breast and my boyfriend had the beef. Chicken is fried and has delicious bacon gravy. The beef comes with awesome rice. Service was great! Just enough checking in on us. It wasnt super fancy but I wouldnt go in my running clothes!

I have been here twice, and both times It did not disappoint. The restaurant has a really cool vive, it is not pretentious, the food is really good. Try the fried green tomatoes, the pulled pork sliders, the ribs are beyond good. People are friendly. It is really nice to have a place like this in the South Miami area. %100 recommended!!

The limited parking outside of Whisk along with its partialy hidden location don't seem that promising, but approaching the restaurant immediately changes your mind. You realize you've stumbled on a neighborhood gem when you walk in and see the clean, modern décor and smell what's emanating from the open kitchen. The hostess was smiling and friendly, and escorted us directly to our reserved table; which was prepared and waiting for us when we arrived. The menu was one page and concise, and offered many different choices within the theme without being confusing or complicated. The complexity instead is saved for dishes such as the bacon wrapped, gorgonzola stuffed figs which is a balancing act of flavors. This particular bite comes on a long toothpick and is salty, sweet, with the sharp flavors of the gorgonzola and each note harmonizes without overpowering the other flavors. Surprises include the level of accountability the chefs seem to pride themselves in, from the open kitchen to the printing of farm sources on the menu. I knew my chicken's origin, as well as where the quail special had come from before they cooked it and served it on a plate. The fried chicken, some of the best in South Florida, had a wonderful crispy exterior behind which was hidden the white juicy flesh filled with flavor and expertly combined with creamy gravy and lying on a bed of home-style mashed potatoes, huge lumps authenticating the freshness and preparation of the food. Other notable offerings include the fried green tomatoes, balsamic marinated skirt steak salad with goat cheese fritter, cornbread, Brussels sprouts, and whatever dessert the pastry chef has conjured from her imagination that day. The service was attentive and friendly. My glass was never empty. I was never waiting an exorbitant amount of time for any particular request. There is a confidence in the quality of food and integrity of the ingredients used by the chef that trickles down throughout the working environment of the restaurant. If everyone, from the diner to the servers to the hostess, believes in the product being presented it not only provides for a pleasant dining experience it provides for a comfortable and intimate experience. The standard of dining out should be fresh, delicious food at a reasonable price and that is exactly what Whisk offers.

I had a great experience here! My dad convinced us to go after seeing it on the food network. Since we are visiting from New Jersey we figured it would be an exciting place to start our vacation and it really was! After having the kale and spinach Caesar salad I don't think I will ever have a Caesar salad with just lettuce again. The kale added another depth of flavor that was just great. I had the key lime pie for dessert and it was good I just wish it had been a little colder. Another wise a great dinner overall. Also best mashed potatoes ever.

I didn't expect it to be this good! I was looking for place to eat and have quick beer with a friend and I found this place on yelp. I got to say, this is one of the great sandwiches I've eaten at a restaurant. Everything seems so fresh and made to perfection!
(5)Brittney L.
Dined at whisk for lunch . The berry lemonade and shrimp and grits was OMG soo good! The service was amazing everyone was very attentive. The pork chop was ok very juicy , mash potatoes were some of the best I have ever had , corn bread also very tasty!

Amazingly delicious! After seeing WHISK pop-up on my "Recent Activity" so many times, I got excited and bookmarked it for a future adventure. Well, after making our way to this hidden jewel, I can only say, "Thank You Yelpers!" This place is truly fantastic. I expected to find the restaurant on SW 57th Ave, but instead, it's tucked around the back of the strip mall, on SW 56th Ave. Given the amount of great reviews (on Yelp, of course!) and the plethora of photos depicting delicious plates of food, it was no surprise there was a wait to be seated. However, as packed as it was, the staff did a great job getting people inside and sat quickly. Once we were seated, the fun really began! With so many great menu choices, we decided to order several apps and sides, a salad, and split an entree. Wow! Even though we ordered way too much food, it was hard to stop eating....it was so delicious. Don't get me wrong, while the food left a memorable impression and has me yearning for more, the staff (including hostesses, wait staff, and management) deserves an applause as well, as they were quick, kind, and attentive. Furthermore, WHISK employs enough people to ensure you're well taken care of and you're needs are met. Great job by them! The only downside to WHISK is that it's located so far from my house. Waah waah waaaaaah lol

Good Food, Bad Service. When you enter you are greeted with a warm ambiance, a hostess, and a playlist of music from the 80's playing in the restuarant. I first ordered the soup of the day and it was delicious. Afterwards, I ordered a Broccoli and Kale Salad (basically there take on a Caesar Salad) it was good, but nothing out of this world. Unfortunately, this delightful combination of food and atmosphere was ruined by the poor service of the server Mike. The only reason he checked up on us was to see if we were done. In addition, I had to constantly remind the server for water and was greeted with a sigh and a roll of the eyes every time I reminded him for water. Also, when I requested a paper napkin, he once again sighed and rolled his eyes. I was very close by requesting the manager but I was so upset, I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Also, the kitchen staff is VERY loud it is very unprofessional. I am sure Whisk's core values are much higher than that. The conversations being held in the kitchen is not appropriate at work nor in a restaurant where adults and children are eating. Keep in mind, I was sitting towards the bar/entrance. I will not come again. VERY disappointed, after my second time coming. I'm giving it 2 stars because everything was clean and the ambiance was very nice.

I have been wanting to try whisk for quite some time. I was expecting an over crowded tiny restaurant with bad service and I was completely wrong. My hubby, dtr and I were sat right away and all the servers were completely on point. We ordered fried green tomatoes, avocado Blt sandwich and the turkey sandwich, all of which were amaze balls. But even more orgasmic was the peanut butter mouse cake! I ate the whole thing, and I don't care that gained 5 pounds in one sitting! We will definitely be back!

We were in the area and stumbled upon this place. It's charming, so we decided to give it a try. We had a small wait, and were then escorted to a communal table. Not what i expected, but we definitely didn't mind. It's kinda cool because u can basically see the entire kitchen! Our waiter was pretty nice and efficient. We ordered... I got the shrimp po boy and my husband got shrimp and grits. The wait for the food was a little longer than expected, as the place was pretty hoppin'! Once we got it, everything tasted good. As i was into the second half of my dish, i noticed a piece of aluminum foil in my sandwich. The waiter offered a new dish, but i was nearly finished so i declined. I just told him to warn the kitchen of the foil incident. He then offered free dessert, but we had plans and couldn't stay for dessert. Instead he made me a berry lemonade to-go for me at my request. The place was solid, but nothing amazing/to die for. Maybe we'd come back if we're ever in the area!

I love a good hole in the wall and whisk is just that! Super comfortable and trendy atmosphere. The service is great and the plate selection is pretty good. I had the burgers and chips and that was good but really average. The chips are tasty but for me the plate fell short with the burger, which was huge!
(3)Mario R.
Meh, sums this restaurant up perfectly. I've been dying to try their fried green tomatoes and have come for lunch and dinner on 4 different occasions, yet they are always sold out! Chicken with honey was pretty good, but portion is tiny. Sandwiches are decent, nothing out of this world IMO. Other than those two items(although I've tried more than one sandwich), the dates and bread pudding are all that I would recommend.
(2)Mike R.
Another one beats the dust. I guess I shouldn't be disappointed, it is Cuba after all.....I meant to say Miami. I tried Whisk over a year ago, and it was pretty descent, but in Miami, no sooner they achieve success, they lose their way and become old news. Went to Whisk on a Saturday afternoon, my Portobello mushroom hoagie, was plain and tasteless, it was put together as and afterthought and not a dish worthy of a restaurant with four stars on Yelp. The tuna melt sandwich was salty, fishy with an awful dressing, and wilted tomatoes. This shall be my last visit.
(2)Ana B.
Pretty good food (we ordered the steak sandwich and the turkey & Brie sandwich), but SO overpriced. $15 sandwich? Really? The $7 slice of stale, dry red velvet cake was pretty bad too. Never got a refill of my drink either... Not impressed.
(3)Elle A.
I'm a bit torn over this place, after reading all the reviews, I really expected a bit more, but the food was merely good, not great, so I think I'll stay with a three star rating for now. WHISK was right by Pinecrest Park where we spent part of our day, and I have been wanting to eat there for some time. Every time we're in the area we wind up eating at ROK Brgr, but I don't like burgers, and wasn't even in the mood for their veggie option that day, so off we went to WHISK. The place is small and even though it was an off hour it was bustling. We were seated at a table for two which was somewhat squished between two other couples and it made me antsy. I don't mind sitting very close to people I know but it's unsettling for me to sit this close to strangers and I was able to hear their conversations very clearly. It was really distracting. Also, it was very loud inside the restaurant. One of my favorite things is peace and quiet, so I was just a bit rattled by the noise level combined with how crowded everything felt. We were given menus with the day's specials, the regular menu, a wine list and water served up in mason jars. There were a lot of southern-themed dishes on the menu - shrimp and grits, fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, ribs - you get the idea. I think I've been to too many of these restaurants lately and am getting tired of these selections - I don't know. I guess I was just feeling kind of cranky, we walked for hours that day. There were a lot of different servers too - one for drinks, one to take our order, another to serve our actual food, another to bring us a box for leftovers. I don't know why I'm complaining so much. The service itself was good and all the food came out very quickly. We started with the fried green tomatoes with buttermilk herb dressing. They were very good, nice and hot, obviously freshly fried without a hint of greasiness and the dressing that it came with was nice and light. For mains we had the BBQ chicken salad and the UN-Traditional BLT. The BBQ chicken in the salad was sweet and very tender. It was dressed lightly in a pleasant dressing and overall I enjoyed the salad but I didn't detect any bacon in there as stated on the menu and the tomato wedges were mealy. Mealy tomatoes suck. The BLT was good, it was served on grilled bread and was chock fully of crispy well-done bacon as requested, but aside from there being arugula, I didn't see what was so untraditional about this particular sandwich. Maybe it was the buttermilk spread but it tasted like plain mayonnaise to us. We were full and decided to skip dessert, actually none of the choices really appealed to me and I don't order dessert often in restaurants unless it's really something special. So will I ever go back here? Not so sure, especially given the plethora of choices in this part of Miami.

I went with a party of 4, we ordered a ton of appetizers and 2 entrees to share. The appetizers were awesome. The dates being the best, and the shrimp and grits (which should be made larger and into an entree... doesn't seem fitting as an app.) being second. We also had the corn and the chicken and biscuits. The entrees on the other hand... weren't so impressive. Whisk still gets four stars from me because for the price and location... everything was good. It's what I'd expect walking in the door, which is usually crowded with people after 7:00pm on a Friday/Saturday night. All in all, they weren't outta this world... but I'll be back and recommend the place. This was actually my third visit... and I'd say they have all been pretty consistent. PS. not too happy you guys always seem to run out of the most popular dishes...
(4)Adalberto M.
I can say so many things about how wonderful this place is, but I'll try my very best to keep it short. Get your GPS because this place is hidden in the South Miami area and parking is very limited. If you're coming here for a Sunday brunch, get here as soon as they open. Sangria of the day were Lychee Sangria and Pomegranate Sangria. Both delicious and visually appealing. But $11.00 each ? Easy there big guy... Special of the day: Pork Benedict. Panko fried pork loin on top of a biscuit, poached egg, creamy sauce and a bit of spicy bbq sauce. De-f***-licious!! My wife had the shrimp and grits which was also a hit. We passed on dessert but had such a great meal in this nice, trendy place. We'll be back!
(4)Gisy V.
I had two friends tell me how great this place is so I went with high recommendations and expectations. Boy what a disappointment!!! I ordered the pulled pork burritos, the pork didn't have flavor at all, I didn't finish it. My hubby had the friend chicken and although it was juicy it didn't have much flavor not even with the side of gravy it came with. The chips they served were also soggy and cold. The quality of food was poor and overpriced. They also took forever with bringing out the food.
(2)JoAnn D.
Ordered some take out from here last week and it was delicious! I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the blackened chicken samdwich and we shared the bacon wrapped dates. The dates were to die for. I will definitely be getting them again when I go back. I've never eaten inside Whisk but when I went to pick up my food, I was pleasantly surprised at how cute and laid back the atmosphere was. Great for a date or to catch up with friends.
(4)Alex D.
I had heard about Whisk from friends, so I finally tried it. Everything we tried was pretty good, but just pretty good and not great. Perhaps it was an off night; but, frankly, I was not blown away. The server offered the nightly special menu and the regular menu. We opted for the nightly specials, which I found somewhat blah and unimaginative. I will try Whisk again, but I'm in no hurry.
(3)Misha M.
Whisk is my cafeteria...I eat there 3-4 times a week, as it is a short distance from my office. Simple and fresh food, intersting wine and beer list, but be aware: lunch waiting lines can be long particularly on Friday. I recommend sitting at the bar, where the friendliest bartenders are happy to propose something from the menu. Must order: fried green tomatoes, gourmet burrito, Panco crusted fish, swordfish filet. Another way to avoid lines is late lunch as they are opened from lunch to dinner. One mone thing: the restaurant can host several dozens of guest, but the parking holds 10 cars...you do the math; park nearby and walk
(5)AJ M.
Had a Giftcard and finally got to use. Wish we had made it sooner, this place was amazing. Was worried about parking based on reviews but we got a spot with ease. Started with the brussel sprouts and fried green, tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes were fried perfectly and delicious, the brussel sprouts were amazing, we loved the roasted red pepper aioli. I ordered the quail, the larger portion thanks to our waitress. It was small yet meaty and flavorful. My wife ordered the crab fried rice which did not disappoint. Believe it or not we ended with the shrimp and grits. The grits were cheesy and creamy and the shrimps were delicious. We can't wait to return.
(5)Cecily K.
tl;dr: good rustic elegant atmosphere for lunch or dinner, good selection of drinks, large-portioned comfort-food appetizers, and free parking. Entrees are rather expensive, and the sandwiches are meh. The dates wrapped in bacon are so delicious and rather large, so I would definitely recommend sharing with a friend. The cornbread and the fried okra were only alright, but I guess that's what you get if you're looking for southern comfort food in Miami. I wasn't a huge fan of my UN-traditional BLT sandwich because it was rather bland, but the ingredients were very fresh. Overall entrees were just a little too pricey for my liking and the food was nothing special.
(3)Liz C.
I can understand all the hype about this place but I guess it just didn't do much for me. I thought the bread pudding was more like a piece of dry cake than bread pudding (it was way too dry) & the music was too loud. Also, my salad was boring maybe because the turkey was cold. I think I would have preferred warm turkey on top. It's just my personal taste. My friends ordered dishes that looked much better than mine & they finished them all. They seemed happy. I will say that all the appetizers were delicious & the presentation was very nice too. I can understand why the fried green tomatoes are very popular. Will most likely give this place another try but from the other reviews it will be wise to stick to weekdays as the parking is a nightmare on the weekends & rightly so since the parking lot is teeny tiny. Our waiter was nice & made sure my water was topped the entire time. And they have a sign right at the front letting you know that you will be seated when your entire party arrives. Don't understand why people get mad about this, it's their policy & they have a right to stand by it. Especially on those very busy days when there's nothing more annoying than waiting for a table & seeing a guy holding a table for 1/2 hour while he waits for his friends to arrive. So for that policy & for sticking by it, I congratulate them.
(3)Patricia N.
This is a great spot with a great location right in the heart of South Miami. Whisk serves delicious plates and has a great variety of food, with many healthy options. Everything tastes so fresh, and it is at times difficult to pick and choose from the menu because everything is delectable. Though the service is good, the restaurant tends to be packed and does not seat you until your whole party has arrived. Additionally, parking is a hassle as it is usually very hard to find. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth it. All the appetizers are amazing and one is surely to be satisfied upon leaving this restaurant. The Fried Green Tomatoes are a must try along with the Bacon-Wrapped Dates and the Corn on the Cob
(4)Sandra M.
After seeing all the great reviews I was hoping to really like this place. Sadly that just wasn't the case. First off like most people have mentioned parking is a bit of a challenge. They only have a few parking spots out front. So unless you are really lucky expect to be circling around for a parking spot. We started off with the Aged White Cheddar & Parmesan Pimiento dip which was just OK. As an entree I decided to go with the Charleston Chicken Sandwich and the hubby had the special Friday burger. My sandwich wasn't bad but I wish it would have at least brought some chips as a side. The burger was good but nothing out of this world as other Yelpers had mentioned. The service wasn't great either. When it came time to pay we were charged for something that we didn't even order and getting that fixed took a while.
(3)Bowie S.
I went with my roommates here for dinner. We heard about the great Yelp reviews and had to try it. I had the chimichurri steak skirt and salad and it was delicious. My roommates had the spicy beef and pork burrito. The portions were of good size here and the food was good. Not quite 5 stars but definitely worth a try. The ambiance was ok, busy dressy casual, had a bar area and tv's there. There was quite a wait but it was worth it!
(4)Claire S.
My hubby and I came here on a rare date awhile back. My friendo voluntarily babysat my monster child!!! I like this place because it reminds me of the type of restaurant you can find it Atlanta, and we lived there for awhile. Service is nice and the food is great!! I recommend the fried grit sticks--these were the bomb dot com!!!
(5)Steve L.
Awesome place tucked away in Sunset place.... We stopped here with some friends for lunch and loved what they had to offer. As for starters I would recommend the bacon wrapped and stuffed dates... If your looking for something sweet and savory to please your palate these will fit the bill... as they say great things come in small packages and boy these dates surely pleased the taste buds..The shrimp Po boy was as fresh and favorable as could be with the crispy fried shrimp and fresh made house pickle combination. Another pleaser was the highly recommended steak sandwich which I must say was spectacular as well...the fresh toasted bread and overstuffed savory fork tender steak surely pleased our tastebuds.... All I can say the risk in trying this place was a Win Win situation... So if you find yourself looking for something different to try find your way to Whisk and give it a try.....your taste buds will thank you
(4)Stephanie H.
My second favorite spot to dine in South Miami! I highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates, the burritos (always half order or share -they are so filling- ), the BLT!!! To die for! The staff is very friendly, everytime I go I feel like Im home.
(4)Tina V.
I love this place, its cute but parking is a pain. If you find parking great and if you dont good luck. Shrimp and Grits (5/5) i love it here, always get it with extra grits. Fish sandwich (2/5) ehh... bones still attached to the fish??? Tasted gritty Overall a good brunch place to be exact. My new Saturday brunch crawl.
(4)Vanessa C.
I love this place! It's off a little from sunset place and I wouldn't even had known it existed until my boyfriend told me about it (he used to work there). The first time I went there we had the Friday burger. It was delicious! And I noticed that they don't repeat the same burger. Trust me it has to be good if they go to burger bash to the SOBEWFF and win!! You definitely have to get there early on Fridays though because they do run out. I used to work at an attorney's office near by and started ordering delivery and that is when I discovered the Skirt Steak Sandwich! Ultimate favorite dish. I didn't think I would like it from some if the ingredients but it was so tasty the combination of flavors definitely worked. Another good dish is the burritos! Pork, rice, beans, pico, heavenly goodness! And if you don't want to eat with your hands the spicy coconut beef is very good too! Down fall definitely is parking but it usually is whenever you're in South Miami. So expect to find parking along the strip and walk a little. But it will be so worth it!!
(5)Erik G.
Sooooo gooood! Hanger steak sandwich. Delicious. The steak was well seasoned, cooked perfectly for me , medium well. It was chopped up making it easy to bite into. Very tender and soft.
(5)Olson S.
The tomato basil soup is the best I've ever had! The cheese dip was really good as well. All four of us were pleased with our meals and drinks. Expect a wait if you do not have a reservation.
(5)Pamela M.
I wasn't a fan the first time I went because it was southern comfort food. But then it grew on me! The friend green tomatoes are delicious and the ribs are awesome!!! I really enjoy this place. It's really hard to find parking but if you can it will be worth it.
(5)Leilani D.
So I'd almost be willing to give this place five stars just based on the fried green tomatoes. Honestly, just order ten plates of fried green tomatoes and thank me later. The breading is light and flavorful, the buttermilk sauce is heavenly. But I digress. I did keep eating, and unfortunately not everything lived up to the fried green tomato hype. I think part of it was my fault. A) that I ordered badly and B) brought along expectations that were not met. I got the shrimp and grits and they were just...lacking. Usually shrimp and grits comes with some sort of broth/sauce (expectation). I've seen mostly tomato, but sometimes BBQ can work too. These grits were just too dry. They needed cheese or sauce, something to add a bit more flavor. On the bright side, the bacon wrapped dates were also stellar, and so was my friends steak which I was able to snag a couple bites of. Everyone else (eggs Benny, more steak and eggs, and huevos rancheros) was all very pleased with their meals. So again, I could've just made a menu mistake. Order any of these other things and you'll probably be happy. Important tip: the fried green tomato secret is out, and this tiny parking lot starts filling up FAST. If you want to snag a brunch table (and a parking spot) you better show up early.
(4)Christina C.
Whisk fails to disappoint! So, as per my last review, I said my next venture would be brunch. I kept my promise, but since then, I've gone FIVE times to have brunch at Whisk...so sorry for the delay! I went yesterday with my boyfriend & tried the Fried Green Tomato Stack. WOW! In the past, I've gotten the 2 Eggs Country Breakfast & it was fantastic, but I wanted to try something different this time & I'm a huge fan of their Fried Green Tomatoes, so why no!?!! My boyfriend got the Eggs Benedict & has yet to veer from those! We usually split the Buttermilk Pancakes & they are just to die for! The praline butter they use on the pancakes...IDK what it is or what is in them....but it's just incredible! Whisk has to be one of my favorite places, hands down! I highly recommend trying brunch from Whisk! It's a Sunday treat that will leave you asking for more!
(5)Lissette V.
WOW!!! This restaurant is absolutely PERFECT!!! The ambiance was great and I felt relaxed even with the big crowds and the amount of wait time. It was a Friday night at 7:30pm & we waited for 30 minutes. As soon as we were seated Jeffery greeted us & his service was phenomenal throughout our dining experience. My boyfriend & I shared the dishes we ate. For appetizer we had the chicken biscuit. Best one yet, even better than the ones at Yardbird. For our main entrees we had the McDonald Burger and the Burritos. Jeffery brought out one dish at a time split in two so we didn't have to struggle or have an overload of plates since the tables are small. This blew us away. His attention to details. The food was absolutely amazing to the very last bite. Whisk see you next week :)
(5)Ali M.
Hands down favorite place in Miami. Each ingredient tastes so fresh and well thought out. The burritos are one of my favorites, as well as the corn and corn bread appetizers. The have a burger special on Friday that never disappoints and also often have a fish sandwich special (both are awesome). Had the fried chicken salad - probably won't get it again because most other things are much better. The dressing was very good and great fried chicken as well.
(5)Sajuliet G.
Try the corn risotto fritters! everything was amazing! ONLY DOWNSIDE if you plan on going for brunch, this is NOT a day drinking kinda spot. The food is well priced for the quality and service but the drinks will put you up quite a bit! Our food (for 2 ppl) was $50 which is not bad...but 4 mimosas in reg champagne flutes (super tiny) were the same price $50!... Normally, for brunch, most people like to hang out for a bit have a few mimosas order a few apps and food, make it a few hours affair, its a shame you cant do that here bc your drinks cost as much as food. My suggestion: A drink special for bottomless mimosas or a 2-4-1 or something!
(5)Lazaro E.
This place rocks. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and very clean. I love the pork burritos super tasty and and very filling.. Also try the shrimp po'boy you can never go wrong with that.. Its not on the regular menu; but if you ask nicely they'll make it for you.
(5)Joaquin M.
Awesome food, service and ambiance. Brunch was phenomenal. Eggs Benedict with a biscuit. Add extra thick cut bacon.
(4)Ingrid R.
Let's start with the positive: The lemonade is great and the pork burritos are delicious! I always get the full order and take home whatever I don't eat; they make for decent leftovers. Also, if you like hot sauce I recommend asking them for their homemade spicy sauce. It's not very spicy but it compliments the burrito. I've also gone for their brunch a couple of times and I wasn't very impressed by it, especially the pancakes. I'm all about a good pancake so please step your game up on those puppies and stop sending them out burnt. Now for the negative: This story is over a year old but it gets me every time I think about it so I feel it's worth sharing. I went in on Saturday night with my boyfriend and another couple. Our waitress was somewhat nice at the beginning. We placed our orders, got a bottle of wine, and enjoyed our night right up until dessert time. I had raved about this place to the other couple and so far they had liked everything they ordered. To top the night off, my friend decided to order a brownie for the table. Our waitress brings it over and we all take a bite. My friend looks up, severely disappointed, and calls the waitress over and kindly asks if she could warm up the brownie for him. She straight up looked at him and said no, we don't have microwaves here. I giggled to myself (may have been the wine) because I thought she was joking but she walked away right after saying no. The four of us looked at each other wondering if this was some kind of joke. When we realized she was serious, we called her over and my friend stated again that he would like if she could warm up the brownie. And she again tells him that they have no means of warming up the brownie and we have to have it the way that it came. AM I IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE? If you have an oven or a pan, you have a way of warming up the damn brownie. And how did you make the brownie in the first place? My guess would be in an oven in your restaurant. We were completely shocked and asked her to bring the manager over so we can get clear confirmation that it was impossible for them to warm up the brownie. The manager walks over with the same attitude as the waitress and explains that they don't warm up brownies for customers because they don't have a way to do it. We replied that we didn't feel like we were asking for too much by requesting that the brownie be warmed up. It should also be pointed out that the only reason we asked was because the restaurant wasn't very busy so we felt it wouldn't be that much of a hassle for the people in the kitchen. She finally caved in and took the brownie from us and returned it back on the same plate lukewarm (took her less than 5 minutes and how she warmed it up I will never know, considering how adamant she and the waitress were about not having the ability to re-heat it). There was never an apology and her face expressed this look of, "Well, I did you all a favor." It was quite disappointing and unfortunately ruined the dining experience for us. And the brownie didn't taste at all good, room temperature or warmed up. I don't know if it was an off night for her but she definitely did not display the customer service you would expect of a manager running a restaurant with such great reviews. It's a shame because I have heard that she is a very nice person and prides herself in her work and customer service. I didn't let that issue stop me from returning, although I've never been able to shake that experience. Can't say the same thing for the other couple; they will never again step foot in Whisk.

Food is really good. Can be loud for lunch. Great option in South Miami for something a notch above franchise restaurant options in the area.
(4)Mitzy R.
We stumbled on the place using Yelp. The reviews were good and we were less than half a mile away on a Friday evening. We arrived a the place without reservations and with a preteen daughter. The place was not empty but still some tables were In use. We asked for a table and the hostess sat us as soon as our party of three was completed. The place looks clean, casual yet hip and nicely decorated. The staff it's extremely effectively and helpful but not too warm. The menu is not big yet have plenty of alternatives. Beware if you are On a diet this place will be very challenging to order from. Almost everything contained buttermilk, was deep fried, bathed in honey or breaded. Do not take this the wrong way everything we tried was great! We ordered different dishes and shared. The fried green tomatoes were excellent and the bacon wrap dates just as good. A member of our party ordered fried chicken w honey and it was good but no great. We decided to share the fried buttermilk chicken & the molasses BBQ pork chop. The chicken was great but the pork chops rocked. We could not leave without trying the desserts: bread pudding and the cheesecake. The pudding was excellent and decadent even without any ice cream, and the cheese cake was not the traditional cream cheese one ...it was goat cheese! Wow super delicious !!!! It was bit pricey but the experience was great! We will definitely try it again but not with out having a vigorous workout that day and the week after. Lol

I like this place. The only problem is that you can't make reservations on the same day....so for a last minute planner like me it's annoying. The food is pretty good and their corn bread is addictive.
(4)Cathy S.
This restaurant is a hidden gem. The chef puts together such surprisingly tasty creations, like a work of art! The atmosphere is casual and loud and they do not take reservations. There is usually a wait, but the food is definitely worth the wait.

Excellent! Herb marinated skirt steak.....mmmmmmmm This by far is their best steak or sandwich now. Their beet salad is also good and every Friday they have a special burger with Parmesan chips. The staff is really nice and helpful. Some of their specials are a hit and miss. Best time to go is around 3pm after lunch and before dinner because it gets super duper packed.

Missed breakfast...YELP search led us to this restaurant down a little alley/street. Quick seating..good service. Orders three beans soup - I expected heaps of three different beans in a rich broth. Received the rich broth and three (1, 2, 3) beans. The neighboring table had a heaping mound of beans...they charge extra for sharing plates so I did not ask my neighbor to share... Pork burritos - tasty but so is Chipotle's. Nice, quick lunch but nothing noteworthy.

I love Whisk!!! This is a favorite lunch, brunch, or dinner spot for my boyfriend and me. There is usually no wait for a table of two, unless we go around 8 or 9 PM on Friday or Saturday (30 min or so wait-sometimes no wait at all). I also like to take my mom and aunt around lunch time. This is a place that everyone in my family loves. They have a good craft beer selection, and their white sangria is pretty delicious. I have a few favorites here...As an appetizer, I love the fried green tomatoes with buttermilk ranch. They sometimes have dips on daily specials menu; always good. Whatever fried fish sandwich they have on special is always AMAZING, as well as any of their burger specials on Friday nights. For brunch I love the shrimp po' boy or the low country shrimp and grits as well as the Eggs Benedict. My go-to meal is the Whisk House salad with a shrimp skewer. It's light, but filling and full of flavor! The steak and goat cheese salad is also a favorite of mine. For dessert, I recommend the bread pudding of the day (Heath bar or brownie versions are the best). Everything on their menu is really good, depending on what you're in the mood for. The service is always attentive and quick. Whisk, thanks for being awesome!

Stumbled upon this place on Yelp, bc otherwise I would never known it existed. It sits behind the Chevron gas station on 56 avenue. Once you find it, the parking is difficult. So you might have to grab a meter parking, not a big deal. For 2 hours it was $3. We arrive there and once we opened the doors I was like "oh man this place is small and packed" so I thought we wouldn't be getting a table for a while since it's noon on a Friday. But we sat almost immediately (it was only 2 of us.) Once we sat, I noticed on the menu Hibernation Ale, a beer popular in Denver at The Great Divide Brewery. It reminded me of my recent trip there so I had to get it. We ordered the Homemade Corn Bread as an appetizer. It was pretty good. I ordered the Turkey Avocado sandwich, which was fantastic! Didn't come with a side of anything, which was little disappointing but honestly the sandwich had filled me up so it wasn't a big deal. My husband ordered the specialty burger they have on Fridays. He liked it! (considering he was hesitant because they had stuff on it he usually doesn't eat.) The only gripe was the bun gets a little soggy after a while with all the sauce they add, which is a pet peeve of mine. No soggy buns. The burger came with homemade chips which was good. Next, we had dessert, some Vanilla Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake type thing, all compact into a cup, and it was amazing!! Definitely recommended. The food was pretty good however the prices were a little high for lunch, overall for us 2 it was about $50 plus tip. I would come back here again, just not too often. Lol
(4)Christine Y.
Amazing food and service!! We did not like the huevos rancheros so the chef replaced with the shrimp and grits. Best grits I've ever had. Also shared the steak sandwich, which was fantastic. Will definitely be back. My husband and I brought our 8 month old daughter, the staff was very accommodating and she also loved the grits.
(5)Evelio R.
Awesome food, great selection of wine and craft beer, and a cozy wooden architectural design. A bit small so it gets packed quickly; hence come early or make reservations. Definitely would return.
(5)The Hungry T.
First off, the service was GREAT. It was busy but we were seated immediately and Kara, our waitress, was phenomenal. She extremely friendly and took her time to give suggestions and answer our questions. We ordered quickly and received our food fast and hot. The food deserves three thumbs up! Fresh and completely symmetrical (if that makes sense). Their steak salad was well tossed so you had the perfect amount of dressing every time! The BLT was also phenomenal! Each bite had the perfect amount of bacon, tomato, arugula, and fresh, fresh avocado. Absolutely LOVED it. Their cornbread was also unreal. The ambiance is fun, unique, and fresh. Loved this place. Definitely a MUST TRY. Again, and again, and again!
(5)Katie C.
I've been here a couple times and every time it's packed. I can tell there is a huge following. Food is good and staff is friendly. I had the Mexican burrito both times and highly recommend it. It's pretty big so you may take some home for a snack later.
(4)Kym C.
Excellent food and service! Yes parking is at a premium but isn't it that way every where in Miami. We went right at noon on a Saturday, got a spot immediately and was served immediately. Crab cake is outrageously good!!!!!
(5)Rachel T.
Came here for brunch today and it did not disappoint! You know it's good when there is a line outside for the 30 minutes before they open. The waiter was nice and speedy. We ate the huevos rancheros (super yummy and beautifully presented) and the country eggs and biscuit (so friggin good - the biscuit was so perfect and the grits were the best I ever had). I'm already planning to come back with friends.
(5)Legna C.
My favorite. Love the space, the food is delicious and innovative / different. Friday's they do a specialty burger and it's always amazing. Fried green tomatoes, bacon wrapped dates, shrimp & grits, the skirt steak salad. Everything is good. Try the bread pudding, whatever flavor it might be. Just do it.
(5)Autumn R.
My friend and I came here for brunch twice, and we like it. I have gotten the shrimp and grits and the pancakes. The shrimp and grits were pretty good- they had a different taste to them because of the added mushrooms. And the pancakes are melt-in-your-mouth good! However, they are VERY sweet, almost desert-like. I can never eat them all because the sweetness can be a bit overwhelming at times. Also, the scrambled eggs with cheese are pretty good! The service is decent and the atmosphere is quaint, rustic-chic, and lovely.
(4)Jasmine R.
Farm to table fresh! Amazing apps, drinks and food. We had the peanut butter and jelly bread pudding- to die! Great place to eat with friends or family! Chicken biscuit is also a must! Oh and I don't like tomatoes and their friend green tomatoes made me a believer!!!
(5)Carms P.
Overpriced and food is ok... One hit wonder. Won't go back.

When most restaurants expand the quality and service tend to dip significantly. This place is a testament that it does not always have to be that way. I've been frequenting whisk since the prior location in the gables. Then it was a meal counter with 4 tables. Now it's booked into a full service restaraunt. The decor is clean and modern country style spot. It looks very well maintained and not stuffy. It's very comfortable and has an ease to it. The food has never dissapointed. They have amazing fresh ingredients to make the perfect salads and sandwiches. The fried rice is stellar, chock full of vegetables and well seasoned. Something about the coffee just does it right for me. The main entrees are equally delicious. Shrimp and grits that battle most in miami. The standout for me has been a special of quail with grit cakes wilted kale and a mustard sauce. I drool thinking about it. This place does a great job of making rich food not feel so heavy. I haven't had anything over seasoned or drowning in sauces or dressing. I leave here feel fully satiated without the agony and shame I feel after most rich meals. The real star here has to be all the desserts and baked goods. The guava caked has left me with a hole in my heart. I feel empty without it. I just now had the white chocolate blueberry muffin and I'm pretty sure they took my soul with it. A fine crust and crunch on the outside and a moist crumbly muffin inside filled with white chocolate chops and sumptuous blueberries. I took an extra order to go because I couldn't live with myself had I not. The pricing is great but the parking is not. Figure out where to park and get there ASAP!
(5)Hernani A.
We like this place, yes it is one more of the same.... But the ambience is nice, very good service and food is good. Nothing that you cannot get in the other 50 alike restaurants in the gables but well.... We went with a group of friends and everybody was happy with their selections, from the salads to the burgers, even the chicken fingers for the kids were good. And it is easy to find a parking spot. Not too overpriced. Cool.
(4)Andrea A.
So happy to have found this little spot tonight! Especially in South Miami! This is the type of restaurant you'd usually find at Wynwood. Everything from the decor, to the amazing appetizers, and entrees were spectacular! It is a little small but very accommodating and accepts reservations for a group of 4 or more. We went to celebrate my best friend's birthday. Whisk had been recommended to her previously and I can now see why! We started off our meal with the fried green tomatoes, corn on the cobb, roasted corn and Parmesan risotto fritters. My fiancé is a semi-picky eater and he loved every single one of the appetizers. Then we all selected our entrees. I was a little nervous because when you hear of the word Gourmet, you think high prices and small meals that will leave you wanting to drive by mcdonalds to fill up that empty feeling in your stomach but boy was I wrong! I had the Whisk House Salad, the vinaigrette alone was delicious! It felt so light and refreshing yet so filling I ended up bringing half of it home. My fiancé had the spicy seared beef with the sauce on the side and he LOVED it! Everyone else at our table loved their meals! Definitely will be coming back again!
(5)Carolina M.
I love this place. Today I ordered the steak sandwich in Multigrain bread and hubby had the pork sandwich. I don't remember the exact names. My steak sandwich was amazing! the steak was perfectly cooked as I ordered it (medium ). I'm not sure what else was in there because I was starving and had no time to waste in looking inside. The dressing used added that extra touch that made it unique. Hubby also loved his. I tried a piece and again the combination of flavors was perfect. Even the side salad was out of this world. Garlicky dressing.. Yum! Our favorite part was the dessert. OH MY GOD! it's one of the best bread puddings I've had. It comes in a vanilla bean sauce and on top has a blueberry sauce with granola... I initially thought the granola was a little weird... But boy, oh boy I was so wrong! I don't honestly know how the chef came up with this combination. The result is amazing! I have to say that Louis , our waiter was amazing. 5 stars for you, Louis! Can't wait to go back to try more from their menu. The only thing I'd change is the music volume... It was too loud for my taste.... The good thing is that it was good music
(5)Bee B.
Lovely place with great atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic dinner date or even a group. Friday burgers are always a great way to go. The double burrito dish is great for sharing and I have gotten it to go often to munch on in the car with my partner while on the go. Cornbread is also great as a side accompanying their sandwiches (steak sandwich is awesome).
(5)Anthony B.
I would give this restaurant five stars but the parking is impossible! The staff is friendly the place is clean and pretty much everything on the menu is delicious! From their delicious brussels sprouts to their Fried Green tomatoes, wonderful turkey sandwiches delicious wraps hamburgers etc.! Just rude a bike or walk there because you're not going to find a parking space! Well eventually you will.
(4)Andrea A.
This place makes my heart happy. Good southern cooking and a comfortable atmosphere. I usually get something different every time, but my go-tos are fried green tomatoes, risotto, chicken salad salad and cornbread. The specials are usually good and I've been told burger Friday shouldn't be missed. One of the top restaurants in south Miami.
(5)Crissy S.
The crab cakes were quite possibly the best I have ever had, delicious! I had the hanger steak sandwich as an entree which was good, but the Mahi Mahi my husband ordered was much better- clearly fresh and seasoned to perfection. The service was great, the chef even checked in with us to make sure everything was good. I would definitely return next time I'm in the area.
(4)Ale G.
Whisk is a gem! It's a little whole in the wall but it is always packed! The parking lot is small too so it's a little difficult getting in. I've been to Whisk a few times and love it! I always get the fried green tomatoes and I've had the burrito and steak. The burrito is delicious with shredded pork meat. It taste so fresh and everything you order does too. My boyfriend had the fried chicken and mashed potatoes last time and that was soo good! I think he found his new favorite plate there. I ordered the Chinese style rice with steak. The steak was so soft and good! It really complimented the rice. I don't really like Chinese rice because of all the MSG and the taste. But Whisk makes it light and with veggies. It's just fresh and delicious with zucchini veggies. I love whisk and it never diss appoints! Must try if you've never been!
(4)Haruyo M.
Boyfriend n I tried this place and looooooved it! He's a southern boy and thought the shrimp n grits were delish and took him back to his childhood like the guy from Ratatouille. We also had the onion soup and fried okra which were really yumms too! I liked the cornmeal batter on the okra to give it more crunch. And then adding goat cheese......... Soo happy! Oh we tried the Caesar salad as well..to be "healthy" lol. It was tasty. Server was friendly and spaced our dishes nicely. Bathroom was clean. Will def return.
(5)Liliana E.
After hearing good things about this place for a long, long time...I finally made it. It's great, an absolute gem.
(5)Steve R.
I took my family to Whisk this past weekend. Overall, we had a great experience, with some small frustrations that kept our enthusiasm from being too great. First of all, the parking situation was terrible. I know South Miami doesn't have much in the way of easy parking (except perhaps the Sunset Place garage and a couple of other lots), but the parking situation in front of Whisk is truly, uniquely horrible. There's a tiny parking lot, which can hold perhaps 15 cars, and everyone else can park along a dirt road that runs along the front of the restaurant. Every space along this dirty, muddy path was taken on the night we went, so we were forced to park three or four blocks away and walk to the restaurant. I don't know how possible it would be to have a couple of valet attendants, or what the cost would be, but it would go a long way toward alleviating the situation. The restaurant itself was crowded and noisy, but not unpleasantly so. We were seated within fifteen minutes, and everything went smoothy from there. We had cornbread and pulled pork sandwiches for appetizers, both of which were delicious. I ordered the skirt steak salad, which was truly fantastic, perhaps some of the best steak I have ever had. Overall, the food was excellent, even at the slightly elevated prices (in my cheapskate opinion). Service was snappy and attentive, though our waiter seemed a little overtaxed. He seemed to be working too many tables, so I had a sense he was always on the verge of having a panic attack. I would recommend Whisk to anyone looking for quality American Southern food (fried chicken, steak, and the like) in the South Miami area. It's a wonderful place, even if it's something of an epic journey to get inside. I would suggest, however, that you go during the week, and be ready for something of a complicated parking situation.
(4)Juan L.
This place is delicious. My standard experience there would be to try and grab a table by the kitchen window, order the fried chicken as my meal, and bacon wrapped dates and/or cornbread to start. That's if I even make it in, because parking is a giant pain. Half the times I'd like to eat there, I drive all the way over there and am forced to go elsewhere because there is zero available parking. Oh well, still a delicious meal. I recommended it.
(4)Erin H.
I went on a Saturday night and this place was bumpin! Service was great, our server was excellent and attentive. The bacon wrapped dates appetizer was awesome, my fried Bell and Evans chicken breast with gravy was on point! It's tucked away in a strip mall but walking distance to other bars in Sunset Place and South Miami. I really want to go back for brunch too!
(5)Sarah M.
This is by far my favorite restaurant in Miami. Every special occasion is punctuated by a visit here, and the staff is always excellent and the food, oh man the food. Hands down my favorite bacon wrapped dates are made here and we always end up ordering a plate to start and then deciding, you know what, we need another plate. The menu shifts a bit every once in a while, but their fried chicken, pulled pork, corn bread, pimento cheese, pork chop, they've all been winners. Never a bad meal. Oh, and don't forget their bread pudding.
(5)Charity Z.
Love the food and the atmosphere,great place to have a drink. The skirt steak salad is amazing!
(4)TamEra M.
Wow! Is all I can say! The food here is delicious and the white sangria is as well. The only reason I have to give this place 4 stars is bcuz one, the parking is horrendous and two, the wait can sometimes be a minute depending on how many ppl u have in your party. And while you wait go a few doors down and get your lashes, brows or a "tattoo" at HANIC
(4)Rose L.
Tastiest food in town. Exceptional service. They serve Southern fare with a modern twist. Their beer braised baby back ribs are out of this world. I love the atmosphere, and it has an open kitchen, so you can watch the chef and staff prepare your meal with speed and care.
(5)Hung D.
Great little bistro hidden behind the chaotic Sunset Place. Parking can be a pain sometimes, but the food is well with the effort to find side street parking. The ambience is a little loud and space is tight, but the menu and daily specials are the main event. The fried green tomatoes and maple glazed brussell sprouts is an all time fave. The gianormous sandwiches are a feat in itself. Try the fried snapper sandwich when they are on the menu, it's tasty goodness between two slices of bread. Spicy beef on coconut rice is a sure hit. You will be hard pressed to find something not to your liking on the menu. A decent wine and beer selection to boot with daily draft and wine specials. A real neighborhood gem.
(5)David S.
Good food and drinks, diverse menu. Took off one star because there is not enough parking (had to park in front of meters in front of boca tanning/57th ave and walk), also kind of pricey. Excellent food and service tho
(4)Andy D.
I haven't been in a while, somewhat purposeful do to hating the parking, and yes I've mentioned it in every review and because I've been out of town. So this being review number 300, I'll start fresh. The parking apparently just causes me to wanna go someplace else, as it's 1:45pm and Whisk is packed. Luckily I parked in a metered spot on Red Road, or I'd still be driving around. Walking into Whisk's lot I see a large black van advertising EBPCYCLING.com taking up two spaces, this would be like him/her taking up 5000 spaces at Dadeland Mall by parking ratio, I'll bet he's a proponent of share the road; however, his/her moral compass that comes to parking is as inadequate as a unic in a brothel. Ok I vented I'm fine now. Let's move on to what really matters. The food, the service, the restaurant! The service her, is friendly, fast and efficient. Even with a huge luncheon crowd, they worked flawlessly. The restaurant has a very eclectic menu, from fried green tomatoes, to fried chicken salad, to the shrimp and grits. All those items I have had before and I highly recommend them. Today, not so luck on the food front, I had the Boston Bibb Lettuce and Feta Cheese, with a shrimp skewer. Largely it was uninspiring, nothing to write home about, and hardly worth my time writing about now. The G/F had a Mahi Mahi fish sandwich and it was exceptional. So all in all I'd say bravo to Whisk! My salad, well always somewhere you'll find a dud! But, Whisk has been consistently good, so I'll give that one a Mulligan.
(4)Paddy C.
Excellent, from the staff to the food. The busboy may also be one of the best busboys I have ever seen at any restaurant. My favorite about this restaurant is the opening for the kitchen!
(5)Javier R.
This review is regarding only in the host who greeted us on Friday, October 10.we were quoted a 20 minute wait time when we called in about 10 minutes before arriving, and literally about 10 minutes after being told there is only a 20 minute wait we arrived only to be told the wait was over an hour. thanks for your accurate wait times which increased 300% in the span of about 10 minutes.
(1)Mike R.
Gotta love this place. Excellent food, good value, good draft beer selection, nice wine list. Always get the fried green tomatoes. And the BLT is one of my favorites. Gets a bit noisy and no reservations for less than 6, so you will wait if you get there after 630pm.
(5)Yudicel G.
Whisk was great! The food was awesome and the service was good! Their sangria is amazing. Came for lunch and was instantly hooked. Never though I would have liked it so much since it's a little small and hidden. Exceeded my expectations and I plan on coming back! Highly recommend!
(5)Sara F.
Oh yum yum yum! You must try: Gorgonzola stuffed Medjool dates, fried chicken and mashed taters, sweet cornbread with jalapenos, fried chicken tenders and spinach salad, and pulled pork burritos, I could go on and on. Exceptionally varied menu full of creative dishes that will please both comfort foodies and health-conscious eaters. No way you will be disappointed with this one. Only drawback is tricky parking.
(5)Sam S.
The bacon wrapped dates is enough to keep me coming back... The rest of my meal (pork sliders and girlfriends BBQ ribs) were just OK. The noise level in Whisk is also outrageously high, you can't hear the person next to you! 3 star restaurant saved by the bacon!
(4)Amie O.
Went for lunch today by the advice of a friend. It was awesome. I had the fried green tomato blt. It was to die for. My grandmother had the shrimp and grits. It had pork belly in it. Sooo good and my sister had the ceaser salad which had shaved Brussel sprouts and shaved broccoli. She loved it. They even had fresh squeezed lemonade. My favorite. We'll be going back.
(5)Victoria A.
I would say 3.5 is more fitting. We were really looking forward to trying Whisk. The ambiance is nice and different, but very small space. Expect to be crammed and crowded on the weekend. The appetizers were great but entrees were lacking, we weren't impressed. Our server and bartender were great!
(4)Mark W.
Great food, good prices, nice people. Parking is available but success means it's hard to find a parking spot. Other than parking difficulty, I highly recommend.
(4)Nicole D.
This place was nice! The decor, service and food were tasty. Had corn bread & fried green tomato appetizers. Braised BBQ chicken entree was good, but should have been cooked longer. I'd return!
(4)Dan P.
FANTASTIC. Been here every weekend for the past 3 weeks, easily one of my favorite places in Miami. Highly suggest the rancheros huevos, steak and eggs, fried green tomato sandwiches and fried okra. They are also open for brunch on Sundays now too (side bar says closed on Sundays). Get there early, because it gets packed and there will be a wait!
(5)Olivia R.
I've had the tuna sandwich and kale ceaser salad. Tuna sandwich: I had tuna sandwich on multigrain bread. It was a pretty good tuna sandwich, packed with different veggies. I wish it came with the home made chips they offer, because $9 sandwich is pretty expensive. Kale ceaser: for a 14 dollar salad it didn't really meet my expectations. Yes it was packed with kale and brussel sprouts, but it lacked flavor (unless you want to pour the entire thick dressing on). The bacon croutons were very cool though, they really did have a hint of bacon!
(3)Alain B.
I've been a regular here for years. They're original location was off the intersection of ponce and us1. Although they moved to a more spacious location, I imagined the quality would suffer since their staff along with their customers may have doubled or may have tripled. This place is always consistent. They have a great selection. Before bacon wrapped dates became a staple on most menus, they were serving it. I typically go for lunch and order the roasted turkey salad with cranberries, the blackened mahi sandwich (add avocado), the burrito, the fried green tomato sandwich (probably one of their best options), and their burgers usually served on Fridays. If they happen to have the buttermilk cake be sure to order it! They also have some great coffee and make superb Arnold Palmers.
(5)Kristina C.
Found this little gem and enjoyed the chicken sandwich very much. My boyfriends sandwich came out wrong but they were kind enough to switch it out. Will be returning for lunch!
(4)Jackie S.
After over a year hiatus I eventually made it back to Ol' Whisk!! The date: January 2, 2013. The occasion: Playing hooky...not ready to go back for work. Firstly I want to say the waitstaff is awesome!! Super friendly, all smiles and terrific service!!! Brownie point #1: Location, they sat us by the kitchen and we could see in as we ate. Awesome strategy...I want it ALL!!!! Brownie point #2: I drove our waiter bonkers sampling wines until I found one I liked. He never complained or made an annoyed gesture. Brownie points #3-7: The FOOD!!!!!! * Parmesan Pimiento cheese spread - weird I cant really describe but good * Bacon wrapped figs - do I need to say more????? * Hanger Steak Sandwich - DELICIOUS! Perfectly cooked tender pieces of steak. * Roast Beef & Brie sandwich - special of the day, different than the hanger steak sandwich, not as carnivorish but explosive in flavors. * Chocolate coconut pie - insane amount of chocolate but don't worry they give you a small enough piece to prevent a diabetic comma Brownie point #8: All this + 2 beers and 1 wine = $90!!! I love you Whisk :)
(5)Kristine C.
Last night I ate at Whisk. It's a place I've been to a few times. The first time I didn't really like what I ate and can't remember what it was. My friend likes some of the items so we went back. I thought I'd give it another chance. To be quite honest, I thought it was ok but nothing out of this world. Last night was about the same. Mahi sandwich I could have honestly made at home with a salad with dressing that was amazing! Shrimp and grits that was lacking some seasoning but creamy and tender. But here's the thing, this is the reason I give it 4 stars. The food is good, the prices are good, the ingredients are high quality, the service is great and the place is really nice. While yes, I feel that it's not one of my favorite places to go because the flavors are not ones that I like, I feel that others may feel completely different. For instance, the pork sliders, one I liked, the other, not so much. Overall I'd tell you to take a chance on this place and don't forget to try the "soda of the day" and the deserts. I'm really not a desert person but have to admit the bread pudding is fantastic! Enjoy!
(4)Nancy O.
First time here I had the fried tomato as an appetizer. I recommend them. I am a spicy freak, I want everything spicy... the batter they fry them in could be overtop if it had more flavor than the existing. Water is served in mason jar drinking mug with no ice at least for me they didn't add any. side note: There is a sharing fee for entrees.

A group of friends and I decided to head over to Whisk for a light weekday dinner. Luckily, we found a couple parking spots still open in the teeny lot. I had heard so much about the place but had never been, despite living close by for years... I had to see what I was missing out on. I was really pleased with the look of Whisk inside. It's very cute and comfortable, and kind of... home-y? For starters: I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes!! I don't usually like tomatoes, but I guess green ones are totally different. They are perfectly made, and they come with a delicious buttermilk sauce for dipping, although they taste wonderful on their own too. I can't wait to return to try the pimiento cheese and fried green tomato sandwich. It must be amazing. We also had the homemade potato chips, which were yummy but very,very salty. I love salty food, but I think the combination of salt and salty cheese took these a little over the top. I had a roasted turkey sandwich with brie and cranberry mayonnaise (I was feeling autumn-y). It was really good! Plus, it was $7.95. That made it taste even better. Our waiter was not the friendliest... He seemed really annoyed when my friend asked for less cheese on her sandwich and I think he made a bigger deal out of the situation than was necessary. We looked at the dessert menu and decided nothing really jumped out at us. I would return to Whisk to try that fried green tomato sandwich, or one of their entrees. The turkey sandwich was a unique idea that I'll try to replicate at home. The fried green tomatoes were the only thing that really blew me away.
(4)John H.
I had read all of the very good to great reviews of this place so had to try it out. It was good, but not at all great. The ambiance and interior decor are creative and up-lifting. The menu is very creative and shows that the chef/owner has training and knowledge of food. However, the waitress was rushed, not happy, not attentive, and did not want to listen. The young guy who brought our plates to the table mumbled which plate had which food and all but threw the plates down on the table. The dishes were creative in the ingredients. They were plated well. The flavors, however, were lacking and bland as if they had been cooked long before we ate at about 7 p.m. We liked it enough to want to give it one more try. Maybe that was an off night for the staff and for those dishes. We will see.
(3)Douglas B.
Was turned on to Whisk when I got a gift certificate from my one of my clients. It immediately went on our short-list of great restaurants. Great food, awesome atmosphere and excellent wait staff. Highly recommend.
(4)B G.
Easy 5 star review. They have great food, great wine and a great craft beer selection. Def also has a menu that you WANT to explore. Best value on their menu is believe it or not their burrito! Its huge and its cheap too! But their apps and there desserts were also stellar. Great place, been here at least 5 times.

Extremely overrated.... I'm a big yelper, been in town for a week and been going to highest rated yelper restaurants all week. This and and southern swine were lame as heck. Had all the most mentioned items; dates, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, pulled pork burrito, steak sandwich and the pork entree. Let's go in order... Dates were great but honestly I haven't had bad dates anywhere, not sure how u can go wrong there. Fried green tomatoes... Not bad by any means but the artichoke hearts at sunset tavern for 1$ during happy hour were just as good. What im trying to say is, NOTHING SPEACIAL. Next up the fried chicken... I asked the server how it's prepared and he said, it's fried chicken with mash potatoes and honey glazed greenbeans. I looked at him and said so whats the big deal, he said oh it's our number one seller because of the marinade... Plzzzzz there wasn't a drop of marinade that I could taste. I know this sounds extremely harsh, even rude, but KFC had more taste. Coming from the 'eating house' the past Sunday for their chicken and waffles was worlds better. For those who ordered the burrito and steak sandwich I just felt flat out bad for. The burrito was the most bland dried out burrito I've ever had. I guess they try compensating by having two served for 14 bucks. Top it off its served in tin foil.. Classy. The steak sandwich was just mediocre, again not bad, but not fine dining by any means. This was served in wax paper... The pork easily the highlight and the meal everybody wished they had ordered. All around overrated and would not come back unless they offered half off during happy hour. Sorry guys had to do it...

Great food and ambiance. Service was equally as great. Highly recommend checking it out.

I know that I am in love when I can't get something off my mind. Whisk, you have indeed whisked me off my feet. The prior incarnation at their smaller location on LeJeune was my first experience with them and even though the space and menu were only a quarter of what they now are, I was immediately smitten by their down home style gourmet comfort food that is locally sourced, although their limited hours killed me and therefore I only enjoyed meals there once or twice. After their move, I had it on my 'to do' list but somehow just kept forgetting about it. Perhaps that was for the best, because my obsession is at risk of ruining my waistline. I came recently to try out the infamous Friday burger special...omg, talk about a foodgasm! Eyes half closed, mmmmms and oooohhhs escaping from my lips between bites, I savored each and every delectable bite of that perfectly cooked decadent goodness. Of course this meal had it's lingering effects on me and for days all I could think about was Whisk...Whisk....Whisk. So another trip was in quick order, this time I went for blackened Mahi that I have to say was the tenderest fish I have had in the few years that I have been eating seafood. If all fish was cooked like this, I would have started eating it EONS ago! Their desserts are pretty amazing too, although it's hard to save room for them...but trust me, you want to find a way. The beer selection is pretty damn good too, awesome craft beers on tap and in bottle format. And I really do love the atmosphere and the service. I felt quite well attended to and cozy, even on the Friday night when this place was slammed and there was a 30 minute wait. Totally worth it btw.

Good food!!! Parking may be a bit of a hassle but overall great quality and excellent service.
(4)Lola F.
This place rocks! Parking is a hassle but the food is so good it's worth it. Fridays is the only day they make to-die-for burgers. Great place for lunch or dinner. I plan to continue eating here for many years. My faves are the dates, spicy beef, their burritos and most importantly the corn-meal fish sandwich...heaven!
(5)Romi C.
My sheer indifference about this place demonstrates: - how hard i am to please..i would apologize for being a jackhole..... but....no. And this is my opinion. -how the Miami food scene hasn't evolved enough to my standards (i think bacon wrapped dates are just that...they make great drinking finger foods though!) -how exhausted I am of the delayed blossoming of this damned southern fried food craze...thick cut bacon and smoke flavor on everything. Yeah i get it but enough is enough. (ooh fried chicken THIS.... fried green tomato THAT (which oddly gave me a faint inkling of a taste...ummm.. like they were marinated in some sort of chimichurri prior to being fried??!) I'd love to see a menu that departs from the whole southern comfort direction, you have nice ingredients? why not think outside the hipster Paula Deen box? HERE'S A COMPLIMENT!!! ( or 4) i think the owners are very smart and i tip my hat to this gold huevo goose for: - the steak salad I've ordered to go is better than the same old same old that is available in the area during lunch hours. - being located in an area that lacks panache in their eateries; the main demographic having been starved for dark frou frou restaurants to down bottles of vino (and have passive aggressive dinners with the kids when they're in town visiting whilst accumulating cool parent points.) -nice beverage selection! -these guys were amongst the first to tap into the pockets of this whole collective mentality of douchers that proudly rant " i'm a FOODIE because i eat at ____________" GENIUS!
(2)Barbara A.
Really fantastic! I had the fried chicken and it was outstanding. Can't remember what my friend had but she loved it too!
(5)Victoria V.
This is my boyfriend and I's favorite restaurant. The home like setting accompanied with homemade food is simply satisfying and amazing. We always start with the corn bread but we enjoy every single thing we have ever tried: fried rice, pulled pork sliders, pork burritos, tuna sandwich and ALL of the deserts!
(5)ROSE J.
I've been hear twice and the food and wine are amazing! the place is a bit loud and its gets super packed so arrive early. parking is limited since it gets crowded but its worth the wait. def a must try!
(5)Fed C.
The reviews aren't lying. This place is as good as it gets. Simply sensational food and drink. Someone please give me the crispy fried brussels sprouts recipe!
(5)H G.
Chicken sandwich was AMAZING Chicken tortilla soup was okay - everything seemed blended together Service was great Coming back for sure, and getting the BLT next time
(4)Patty T.
Whisk is such a treat! I always try something new and I am never disappointed. The must haves are their Brussel sprouts, and dates for appetizers:) yummyyyyy Expect a 15-20 min wait on average but all worth it!
(5)Betty G.
Whisk came highly recommended by a co-worker, but I was very disappointed with their lack of customer service. I arrived with two other family members as my husband was trying to find a parking spot. The lot outside the restaurant was completely full and they don't have valet. I told the hostess that my husband was parking, but she said that she could not seat us until the full party had arrived. At this point another family arrived and they were seated immediately. Then another party of four arrived and I asked her if we could be seated before them as we had arrived prior to them. The hostess proceeded to say that my whole party had to be present to be seated. I asked speak to the manager. I never got to see the manager, nor did the hostess apologize. As she came back, my husband arrived and she had no choice but to seat us ahead of the other family. I was disappointed by their failure to accommodate their customers, especially when we were the first to arrive and had been waiting to be seated with two senior citizens in our party. The brunch itself was good. My biscuit was a bit undercooked and tasted really doughy. I think if it had been left to cook longer it would have been perfect. I had the home-made lemonade and that was good. Overall, the lack of customer service left a bitter taste in my mouth and tainted the rest of the meal.

WHISK is one of my wife and I's favorite restaurants in Miami or elsewhere. The style of food is best described as "upscale new southern" with nods to latin/southwestern and asian elements. The large open kitchen is great, as is the ambience. It can get a bit loud and echo-prone, but it manages to combine both a homey and upscale feeling. There is a community table basically next to the open kitchen as well as individual seating. The things we've had that are consistently great: - Corn on the cob. That doesn't sound particularly special -- but they quick-fry it (sans batter) so its really crispy yet has that fresh snap. And the butter concoction just adds to it. - Low country shrimp and grits. Very fresh shrimp, well-seasoned and a new american take on a southern dish. - The dates. If it's your first time, you must get these. - The pork loins are awesome. Although their chicken, burritos etc. are very good, I didn't find them AS stand out or substantially better than any other well-executed restaurant. Note that it is a small place, so the wait can be a bit, and the parking is terrible. Their own lot is very small and there's not a lot of curbside near the restaurant. I usually park in the parallel street over and walk through the alley to get to the restaurant. It's also a bit hidden, so you'll have to keep an eye out.
(5)Katie W.
Small place, small parking lot, but I could care less about that because this place was AWESOME! My first visit was this past weekend with my bf and we didn't even have to wait. The bar seats are first come first serve which is a plus. Once we were settled in, we scanned the menu and were at a loss of what to order since everything sounded amazing. I finally settled on the fried green tomato appetizer and the honey fried chicken appetizer for myself and my bf got the Buttermilk fried chicken entree with a side of corn bread. The food came out piping hot. The fried green tomatoes were so delicious and they were only elevated even more by the oh so unbelievably creamy dreamy wonderful homemade ranch sauce. OH DEAR GOD THE RANCH SAUCE! Let me tell you about this ranch. You know the wishbone, hidden valley or whatever store brand ranch sauce you know of, well.....that's not what ranch tastes like. The homemade ranch at Whisk is what ranch tastes like and I never even knew it. Oh how I was blind before, but now I see. It was pure heaven I tell you. anywaaaays....on to the fried chicken. It was so super crispy and full flavored. The inside was extremely juicy and tender. It was the perfect blend of flavor and texture. The honey complemented the savoriness of the chicken really well. My bf's chicken was just as yummy as mine and the gravy that came with his took me back to the days of eating southern cooked meals with my family in Virginia. From the food to the customer service, Whisk met every expectation. Go try it for yourself. oh and to the people complaining about the southern food "craze" and the amount of fried food served here, here's some advice: 1. There are NOT a lot of southern comfort food places in Miami 2. There are cuban restaurants on every corner in Miami (which is fine, I like cuban food too), but no one complains that there are too many, so why b#tch about southern places 3. The southern food thing is not a craze or trend invented by Paula Deen. It's been around for generations and it's just finally making it's way to Miami. 4. If you're going to complain about too much fried food here, maybe look them up online to see what they have to offer before you show up and complain. You want to eat healthier every now and then that's fine, look up healthy restaurants & go there instead complaining.
(5)Richard D.
I've been here twice and both times have been great. Let's start with the atmosphere, loud and festive. Great rustic type intetior. I have never had fried green tomatoes, but after having them here. It's one of my favorite dishes. The tomatoes are fried perfectly and they come with this buttermilk dipping sauce that is like crack. Now another great app is the shrimp and grits. To be honest it's a nice portion and could be easily eaten as an entree. The grits are nice and creamy with mushrooms and diced bacon which definitely works well with the crispy grilled shrimp. My girlfriend loved her fried Brussels sprouts and we also had the risotto fritters. We usually never have enough room to try dessert but we definitely want to. And for the most part we have only had appetizers but I did have the pulled pork burritos that were legit. I think I might want to go tonight! Highly recommend going here.
(4)Christy C.
This is my favorite somewhat casual restaurant in Miami. My husband and I dine at Whisk at least twice a month. We love the fried green tomatoes and the burrito (The full order is big enough to share)! Amazing! Pros: Delicious food, Great service, Nice Ambiance Cons: Parking, Long wait times, Alcohol is a bit pricey The cons do not stop us from going back. We LOVE Whisk :)
(5)Dave W.
We popped in for an early dinner on a rainy gloomy day, and truthfully, we were blown away. We entered wet and bedraggeled. We left satiated, happy, and ready to take on the world! We were seated at a long stainless steel table which we'd normally share with other patrons but, due to the early hour, we had it all to ourselves. The decor was modern, the service friendly and on point, and our food was fresh, creative, and fun! What more could we ask for?! My salad with nuts, fresh crunchy veggies, and barbecued chicken was a great mix of flavors... Truly outstanding. We can't wait to return!
(4)Mailin J.
Get whisked away at WHISK Gourmet! I'm telling you the service was wonderful. Our server, Andres, didn't miss a beat. He was ready with great recommendations and swift service. He picked up my straw wrapper before I took a second blink. I recommend the fried green tomatoes, berry lemonade and burrito! Check out the photos as I took two to share with ya'll. Happy Whiskin'.
(4)Arturo B.
I have been going to WHISK for a couple of years. The old location was tiny and the waits were incredibly long. I visited maybe 2-3 times for their Friday Burger. The location at South Miami is such a I typically visit Fridays for the "Burger special". The sirloin patty is really meaty and juicy. Combined with the special ingredient of the week and a side salad (fresh greens, tomatoes, and balsamic vinaigrette) makes this burger one of the best in Miami. You can also order the housemade potato chips with grated Parmesan. Don't get me wrong, they are really good, but I prefer the salad as a healthier choice. The WHISK Burritos are insanely good too. Flour tortilla filled with pulled pork lechon style (roasted tender and with a hint of acid from the mojo), jasmine rice, black beans, pico de gallo, avocado and cilantro. All these ingredients together become a synesthesia of flavors. Highly recommended to share as 2 burritos are served. Arrive early and plan your meal accordingly. The restaurant is usually packed for both lunch and dinner. Avoid peak times if possible.
(4)Helen W.
Good food, friendly service, festive ambience. Had the Vanilla Ganache Cheese Cake for dessert - Chef Lorena's desserts continue to disappoint with complete mediocrity (chocolate tasted like nothing!).
(4)Laura V.
Whisk serves delectable food. The fried green tomatoes are wonderful. Twice I've ordered the vegetable plate and the combination of flavors is always delicious no matter which veggies I order. Staff is quite charming and the dining room is cozy. For such amazing food the prices are a bargain.
(5)Nichole M.
So went to this little place on Sat afternoon with my mom. I have to say, if you can get over the parking bit, this is really a good place. I'll definitely come back to try other things on the menu. We had the fried green tomatoes which were so delicious! Buttermilk batter was really tasty and was cooked to perfection. The bacon wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola... wow! We also ordered the corn bread which was just OK for me.. I've had better. After the appetizers we were pretty good so just shared the hanger steak salad which was yummy. Steak was cooked perfectly and I loved the fried goat cheese! I really wish we could have made some room for desert but that will just have to wait till next time. I have to go back to try the shrimp and grits and the fried chicken entree. Our neighbors had it and it looked and smelled spectacular. I'll be back!
(4)Joel M.
Underwhelming. Food was ok, service was poor. It took nearly 10 minutes to be acknowledged while waiting to place a carry out order at the bar during a slow part of the day. The only bright spot was the bread pudding.
(2)Christi B.
Went here last weekend so good, we started with of course the fried green tomatoes so good! My friend had the tuna salad sandwich and ordered the steak sandwich on multigrain bread and we shared, steak was cooked perfect and the tuna was amazing! We each had a draft beer my friends ordered the IPA and I had the brown dog ale, very refreshing! We were so full could not make it to desert! :-)
(5)Alissa W.
Went to their new location that is now an actual restaurant that you sit down with waiter service. I kind of miss the old Whisk because this place was EXTREMELY loud for lunch. they may not have sound proofed their walls because I definitely left with a headache. So for atmosphere I would give this place a 2 for very loud, and very lousy. Now for food AMAZING high quality ingredients. I ordered the turkey on multigrain with bib lettuce, and a portion of haas avocados. Also ordered the crispy fried chicken spinach salad. Came with homemade buttermilk dressing cremini mushroom fresh spinach and eggs. WOW what an amazing salad this is a must try ! one of the best salads I have ever had. Ask for extra dressing to dip the chicken in.
(4)Julia R.
The food wasn't bad but the place is so ridiculously overpriced that we won't be coming bad and won't recommend it to anybody.
(3)Giancarlo B.
The food is delicious & reasonably priced. You have to try their BLT, it's ridiculous.
(5)Carolyn G.
I went to this restaurant because I saw it on TV and someone also recommended it. However, the three times that I've eaten there I was very disappointed. The food really lacks flavor. Even a simple Greek salad was very bland. I felt I could've made a better one at home. The famous fried chicken was also not noteworthy and the burritos were also not impressive. They both lacked flavor. I tried to give the place the benefit of the doubt that's why I've been there three times but unfortunately I'm done trying Whisk.
(2)Christine P.
Was off on a random weekday and decided to make a lunch date with my best friend. We wanted to play the role of 'ladies who lunch' - even if for just a day. We ordered the dates with bacon and gorgonzola cheese - OMG. For lunch my friend ordered the steak sandwich.... so many intense flavors and lots to chew on! I got the burrito - mainly because the jasmine rice inside of it was calling my name. Definitely a very different high-end take on the burrito... and the pork was very flavorful. We were too stuffed to order dessert... but will definitely be back.
(4)Lourdes A.
I looooooove this place! Their menu is delicious, prices are pretty reasonable. Bacon wrapped dates, fried green tomatoes...delicious. Great date spot :)
(5)Evan M.
Came here for lunch with a friend that I was visiting in Miami. She swore by this place for dinner but hadn't tried it for lunch. We were able to be sat right away at a high table that we shared with two 4 other people. I loved how you could see right in to the kitchen and check out the action! I ordered an iced tea. It was a really nice flavor even unsweetened. The service was prompt. We both ordered the buttermilk fried chicken salad because of how amazing they looked on the table next to us. Once they came it was a healthy portion, The honey mustard was nice and light. And the chicken was done to perfection. The food and service was good but I was a little disgruntled when the hostess approached us, in the middle of us eating, asking if she could move us to another table because of a large group arriving. I simply replied, "we're in the middle of eating and almost finished". I thought that was kind of rude. Especially being that they could have sat us at another two top from the very beginning, there were about 2 or three of them available upon our arrival. It's whatever though. If I lived in the area I would definitely go back and try this place again.
(4)Roz R.
Waiter was lovely. Manager & owner are a curious pair. I found hair in the half-sandwich I took home from my lunch, and they actually didn't seem too surprised. Both offered me a new sandwich "next time I'm in town," (I don't live in Miami), but neither seemed at all horrified that staff hair is falling in customers' food. They said it happens from time to time. I asked if Whisk would instead give my friend, who does live in town, a gift certificate for whatever amount the owner thought made sense, and he said I was being unreasonable and hung up on me. Yes, to this request, he disconnected the phone call!! I've heard great things about Whisk. But they are too casual about something so basic--ew!! I've never come across hair in my food before though, so maybe this is typical of all food places. Customers, check your food before eating. I'm sure it is a rare event at Whisk, but if you're the one with a black strand of hair in your lunch, it doesn't matter. More importantly, be prepared for the owner, Brendan, to treat it lightly, and prehaps even imply that you were responsible somehow. Not a great business strategy.
(1)Denise D.
New Sunday Brunch menu is fantastic. Try their Huevos Rancheros and the red sangria! And if you've got room, share the fluffiest pancakes ever.
(5)Persefoni V.
this is a solid go to neighborhood restaurant. the food is consistent as is the service. majority of the time there is a wait but the hostess seats you fairly quick. Their burrito is amazing! A full order is enough to share with someone. their brussel sprouts are one of the best in Miami as is their burger which is only served on Fridays. It is worth circling South Miami for 10 min. to find a parking spot. They also have a delicious brunch. I had their shrimp and grits and would go back again for it.
(5)Meghann A.
Whisk was recommended to me while I was in South Miami for work. At first impression, the parking is horrible. It's a tiny, hidden restaurant off a tiny back road with a total of maybe 10 spots in the back. I lucked out by snagging a person's spot right as they were pulling out I avoided the wait by sitting at the counter and ordered the first sandwich that popped out at me on the menu - the grilled tuna, avocado, and bacon melt (sans the cheese - I wasn't feeling it). For some reason, when I read that description I thought it was going to be a grilled tuna steak and not tuna salad. If I had given it more than two seconds of thought, I probably would have ordered something different since I'm not the biggest fan of tuna salad (this was totally my error- not sure where my head was). When it arrived there was a two-second delay of "oh, this wasn't what I thought it was" before I dove right in (I was hungry and didn't care what I was eating at this point) Wow. So happy I ordered this by mistake. Probably the best tuna sandwich I've ever had. The tuna salad wasn't terribly heavy and the bacon and avocado were so fresh and flavorful - this baby rocked. I finished every single bite of the giant sandwich (this thing was huge) and loved every bit of it. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. I would happily recommend Whisk to anyone traveling to South Miami based off of their delicious food, just be warned that parking is a pain and to expect a big wait during peak hours.
(3)Ashley T.
Had an amazing dinner here two nights ago. Place was packed with a great atmosphere. Meals were so tasty and the menu was unique.
(5)Chris C.
This place can't get any better! Hidden away close enough to cool places in South Miami but hidden enough to stay away from mainstream. I love it! The food is some good ol' comfort food...gourmet style! I feel like everything here is cooked by Guy Fieri while wearing a tuxedo. Whatever you eat is delciious, just make sure to get the red chili sauce. That sauce kicked me in the face earlier today and I apologized for being in its way....yeah that good!
(5)Nick C.
The comfort i feel when i walk into this place is unmatched by any restaurant I have been to in the South Miami area. I am in love with their corn bread and all the options they offer always taste much fresher than most restaurants i've been to. Everyone I have taken to this place always want to go back or ask me "NIck what was that place you took us to once?". The prices are a little high but I guess thats what you pay for quality. However, desserts here don't blow my mind so I usually just walk to Whip 'N Dip and get the best homemade ice cream in Miami if I have room.
(5)AnaKaren G.
Found our new weekday lunch spot! Food is amazing... tuna avocado BLT and roasted turkey with brie are delish. The bacon wrapped dates are a must. Our server Giselle was great! We arrived around 11am, by the time we left it was already crowded and not to mention the parking lot. Get there early, if not this place is still worth the wait.
(5)Paty D.
I finally made it to Whisk after months of wanting to go. I kept salavating every time I read the reviews so I finally went for lunch today and boy was I happy! My friend and I got there about 1:15 and we got seated right away. It definitely is a tiny space- even smaller than what I had envisioned- but it wasn't packed so we were fine. They have so many tantalizing choices to choose from but the moment I saw goat cheese I was taken! I had the Turkey and Cranberry salad and it was amazing to say the least!!! It is made with homemade turkey- no deli meat here- which was flavorful and moist. The dried cranberries were a nice compliment along with the candied walnuts and goat cheese. The goat cheese melded beautifully with the other flavors and was not overpowering. To me the best part was the subtle sweetness that came from the candied walnuts- absolute heaven!! I definitely will become a regular at this place since I truly appreciate a well crafted salad and more importantly, fresh ingredients. I also saw some of the sandwiches others were eating and they too looked delish! I only wish they were opened on the weekends!
(4)Mai N.
We stopped by for lunch bc our local friend recommended it, we were glad we stopped by! It's kinda expensive for lunch, but the food is definitely GOURMET!!! Fresh and delicious! We ordered the burrito (order the half portion bc the full portion is two burritos, very large size!) I ordered the shrimp w grits! The grits had mushrooms and bacon (YUMMY!!!) the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and fresh! Loved the lunch! Will recommend this place for lunch date or cute date! Food is excellent!!
(4)Lucy F.
Holy Insane Sandwiches! This place is dynamite delicious. Seriously never had a bad meal here. I'll drive out of my way to go to Whisk. It's a great place to meet up with friends to eat an affordable meal. Even if it's a sandwich this is a full meal, they don't skimp on portions here which other places can do. I feel like the meal was prepared just for me as I can never find something that I want to change, so yummy!
(4)Jonathan P.
Had brunch there last wknd fried chicken on a biscuit great and eggs Benedict awesome might have dinner there tonite one of the best and freshest tasting food in the area
(5)Alex F.
I'm conflicted in my views about sharing the joy of Whisk. It's so delicious I want to tell everyone I know to spread the word, but also want to keep the secret to myself so I don't have to wait when I have the opportunity to eat there. Yet, from what I hear lots of people already know about this heavenly secret on Le Jeune! (Our server told us that lunchtime there is over an hour wait almost every day.) My first encounter with Whisk was trying the potato chips and key lime pie when my roommate came home with them after a delicious lunch she had. Last week, an event at the University of Miami I attended and I had their delicious catering and I knew I had to stop by soon. I went late Wednesday afternoon and it's safe to say I'm hooked. I tried the Fried Green Tomato sandwich and an Arnold Palmer after my table split the homemade potato chips and the guacamole. I couldn't resist the urge to take home a piece of the key lime pie and I'll be honest when I say that it upset me too much to finish it off and I kept a small slice of it in the refrigerator until I finally finished it yesterday! The way that people describe the venue, I knew that it'd be small but this place is tiny! I think there may only be four or five tables, which would make me think that it'd be an expensive meal but I walked out spending less than $20 even after all of the food I ordered! I hear that Whisk is going to grow in the coming months into a larger location to accommodate the huge crowds they've been drawing in, I hope that the new location will be open on the weekends so that we can all enjoy a wonderful brunch on Saturdays and Sundays!

This place is A-MAZING. Going down to Miami means giving up a lot of southern comforts that you can find in the rest of Florida, and Whisk Gourmet is the saving grace. The first visit I ever had was in their original location, a tiny little hole in the wall in a tiny plaza with limited parking and limited seats. The food was incredible then, and it's only improved in the years that have passed. On my two recent visits I was able to see the new location and soak in what it has to offer. Beverages are served in Mason jars, and the plating is absolutely gorgeous for all of the food. Whisk has successfully brought together comfort foods and sandwiches with gourmet flair, something that can easily be done wrong. If you can, I recommend sitting near the window to the kitchen. It's great to see the fast paced environment, and you can see the care and quality that go into each plate. The chicken and biscuits are delicious, the club sandwich is packed with flavor and offered with homemade potato chips, but don't leave here without trying the cornbread! Served with a scallion butter, the corn bread is tender and moist and is the perfect pre-meal treat.
(5)Cheryl L.
Best fried chicken I have ever had. Every dish I have had here has been amazing. Hands down best restaurant in Miami!
(5)Natassia M.
I have to say... Whisk lost its touch when it moved to its new location. I remember the food tasting so delicious before. I've been 3 times at the new location and have been disappointed every time. The food is nothing out of this world. I've actually left most of the food on my plate each time. I won't be coming back here. It's become more hype than anything else.
(1)Monica S.
Somewhere between a rustic country kitchen meets a woody, autumnal haven, Whisk innovates with its cuisine and brings a new kind of lunchtime flair to South Miami. For the meal, I went with 2 apps and a simple herb salad. Basic in execution, the salad was nothing out of the ordinary, save for the clever inclusion of cilantro, but the BBQ pulled pork topped cornbread was fab. The standout dish was the fried green tomatoes which they absolutely master. Crispy, not soggy, and paired with a buttermilk dip, these things give the Whistle Stop Café a run for its money. My meal companion's roast beef sandwich looked divine and were it not poor form, I might've eaten his portion as well. I loved it and can't wait to return!
(4)Kimbo G.
Came in for the first time with my family to check it out and decided to just do some appetizers. Amazing!!! Tried the southern corn bread, crab cake, shrimp and grits, and grilled cheese. All were outstanding! Must try!!!
(5)Sperry T.
Love this place. Truly unique food. Shrimp and grits - delicious. Order an entree size (not on menu) and have enough to share. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the grits were creamy and had multi-level flavors. Not a big fan of the fried tomatoes. Maybe this is because I am from the South and have had better at family dinners. Whisk's fried green tomatoes are just too thick and I don't taste the 'green' flavor enough. Also had the fried chicken salad. Good, but I will order something else next time since there are so many things I want to try. Atmosphere was inviting and energized. We sat near the kitchen and even with the organized chaos there, the cooks were smiling and joking together. Nice to see. Possibly my new favorite place.
(5)David H.
Had lunch here today. I did not expect anything but boy was I wrong. One of best tuna blts I ever had. It was perfect
(4)Cristi D.
Naturally, I chose Whisk as my first restaurant to review. This is by far, hands-down my favorite restaurant. Reason being, not that I have counted, I have probably dined here over 50 times easily. I still have yet to find a reason to stop going nor do I ever get sick of it. In fact, I get a little joy when I beat my "how many times in one week I go to Whisk" record. So far my record is 4 times in one week. As a self-proclaimed Whisk enthusiast, I think I know exactly what to get here. Some of my favorites include: the Whisk burritos, bacon-wrapped dates, key lime pie (still the best I've ever had, even from Key West), BBQ chicken salad, and the turkey and brie sandwich. Although these items are always on the menu, I'd also suggest venturing onto their daily specials menu. Everything is always amazing and fresh! P.S. Two words: BURGER FRIDAYS

Great lunch spot in South Miami! It's a little off the beaten path, but it's easy to find and it's a really cute little place. Perfect for a lunch date! The parking lot is very small, but we circled around and it wasn't hard to find street parking in the area. It was a nice day and it's a nice area, so it made for an enjoyable walk. After reading good reviews on the bacon wrapped dates and the fried green tomatoes, my boyfriend and I had to try them. Both appetizers were delicious and we were very happy. The bacon was nice and crispy, just how I like it. We ordered the veggie hoagie and the chicken salad sandwich which were really yummy! My boyfriend also enjoyed the sangria! The food was great, the service was quick and friendly -- we couldn't be happier. We returned soon after to try the Sunday Brunch, which was absolutely delicious! :)

I finally had the opportunity to come and try this place out. If it wasnt for yelp, i would have never discovered this great little place. It was pretty packed and the parking isnt very good but i knew that meant the place was going to be really good. Get the gourmet burrito! it was really good :)
(5)Jessica A.
Excellent! Parking was no issue, wait was shorter than expected, and food is spectacular.

I had lunch today at WHISK with a customer. It was a pleasant experience. The service is great. Someone is constantly passing by the table asking if you need anything and our water was constantly refilled. Warm Homemade Cornbread... AWESOME! Bacon Wrapped, Gorgonzola Stuffed, Medjool Dates... AMAZING. Baked Anson Mills Cheese Grits... not as creamy as I'd hope. Maybe my fault as I was expecting something closer to a polenta. My husband had the Dry Rubbed NY Strip Steak (12 oz.). The taste of the steak was phenomenal. I had the Grilled Tuna Salad Avocado Bacon Melt on multi-grain. It was good, but the steak was just so much better. My customer had the WHISK Gourmet Burritos. It looked good and my customer almost ate through the two burritos so I have to assume it was good. For desert we shared a new item on the menu, Pumpkin Pie Tartlet with Fresh Whipped Cream and Pepita Brittle. It was super pleasant. I enjoyed the two bites I had because I was just too full to finish it off. I am looking forward to a return visit to continue trying other items on the menu. p.s. I made a trip to the ladies room. Super clean, very nicely decorated. A pleasant experience for a public bathroom.

"I love the Friday burger, I have dreams of what I want to do to it" - Maria A. - she actually wrote that on my computer as means to get me to break my writer's block This was about two years ago and I'm just now finishing this review I don't dream about it but it's a damn good burger pricey

Whisk me away! I'd heard so many great things about this place that I was dying to check it out for myself. It was a bit hidden near Sunset Place, but we got lucky enough to manage a parking spot right in front. I can see how it might get a bit tricky though! Even on a Monday night, it was packed, with a 20 minute wait. If you're feeling impatient though, you may be able to get seats a little quicker at the bar. The decor was a bit simple/spartan, but clean, with kind of a cozy feel to it. While we were waiting we decided to peruse the menu, and even with the extra time to choose...it was still a very difficult decision. So many options seemed to jump out, and it was kind of a mix of Southern dishes (like shrimp and grits) and more unique salads and sandwiches with lots of greens and vegetables. All of the prices seemed reasonable too, with most of the sandwiches being a mere $8.95. My friend and I split the bacon wrapped dates with gorgonzola, and I opted for the fried green tomato sandwich on multi-grain. The dates were absolute perfection, I've had similar appetizers elsewhere that paled in comparison to the masterful preparation of Whisk's version. The dates were not overly dry, and the bacon was perfectly crispy. It made a phenomenal combination with the gorgonzola. My sandwich came cut into two nice triangles like back when I was in grade school. Easy to eat and a cool spin on the basic sandwich. The pimiento cheese (which seemed like a mayo, cheese mix) added enough moistness to prevent the bread and fried green tomatoes from making the sandwich too dry. My friend got the steak sandwich, and his was incredibly juicy and messy, but also really good. Our server was very helpful and attentive. They've also got a pretty decent wine list and some cool beers on tap! All in all, it was a delicious meal, and I'm looking forward to going back to try more sandwiches and some of their other entrees. Great spot for American fare, with some inventive twists and fresh ingredients.

A long time ago, my fellow Yelper Lourdes C. was singing the praises of Whisk. We could never get together and go because of the early hour the restaurant would close at its previous location. As soon as we heard they were moving and would therefore have later hours, we made it a point to go. (Obviously, this review is old but was drafted way back when too.) On a Tuesday evening the joint was packed solid. The wait was about 30 minutes. There's a small bar that was only serving wine and it was full of other people waiting for their tables. So we hung around outside until we were called. There were 4-seater tables and then a couple of communal tables right in front of the kitchen. I'm not that friendly and we had a lot of catching up to do, so we sat at a 4-seater. The decor was minimal, allowing the space to present its openness and simple furniture well. I appreciated the small rustic touches, like having mason jars with handles for drink glasses. Our waiter was super-nice and patient and accomodating. Wish I could remember his name.... He talked us through the wine list and helped us settle on a Malbec/Cabernet Blend. It was delicious and went so well with our meal. For apps, we had the bacon-wrapped dates and brown bag homemade potato chips. The dates were the perfect mix of sweet and salty and the potato chips were addictive! The chips are sprinkled with salt and parmesan cheese. Airy, savory and again, ADDICTIVE! For my entree, I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, which wasn't on the menu but I requested it and the waiter was happy to have the kitchen oblige. The chicken was strips of breast meat, coated and fried to a great crisp. I mean, it was *just a sandwich* but what a delicious sandwich!! I also tasted both the Skirt Steak Sandwich and Charleston Chicken Salad Sandwich. The steak was so tender and juicy and the chicken salad was soooo good. Mmmm!!! For dessert, we indulged in Michy's Cupcakes. Overall a good experience. I'm glad Whisk moved to this larger space and changed the hours so that everybody can enjoy what they have to offer. My only two things to note are that the acoustics weren't the best so it was quite loud in there. We had to shout at each other to hold conversation. It's been a while since I've been so I'm hoping they've fixed that by now. Also, the parking was a bit of a headache.

Dem' Shrimp n' grits is good! The bacon wrapped, gorgonzola stuffed dates were my favorite appetizer. Their bag potato chips are perfect, nothing extra or fancy just perfect. The fried green tomatoes were also something I'd order again. 1/2 of the table ordered the breaded veal skirt steak; the other 1/2 ordered the low country shrimp n'grits. (The asparagus that came with the veal was the best I've ever had. Not drowning in hollandaise sauce but grilled) Both were great, but I loved my shrimp n' grits more. The problem I encountered is my 2 year old ate 1/2 my shrimp. (Yes they were blackened and so a little spicy, my daughter loves shrimp and can handle a little spice.) They were accommodating and let me order just some extra shrimp so I actually had some shrimp to eat with my grits. Now, deserts! Berries and cream, bread pudding, key lime pie, chocolate flour-less cake. I liked my berries and cream the best. I like the simple look, service was great, and we will be returning.

Looooove it and can't wait to go back. So this place was somewhat hard to find. It's located in the back of South Miami bordering where the family homes start and the parking lot is quite small. So, we parked in the garage (the cheaper one) & walked over. It's super cute and also super on trend with mason jars and simple yet modern furniture. I ordered the B.L.T. sandwich with fries and had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. The fried green tomatoes are sooo delicious, just deliciously battered, deep fried most likely, and taste nothing like I expected. The sandwich was delicious as well, very juicy and flavorful. It seems like they use fresher ingredients than other restaurants I've been to. Our waiter was also very cute and friendly which is always a plus. Pros: Delicious food, trendy, good for groups, no wait time, good looking workers, located in South Miami. Cons: Specific location IN South Miami, seating (higher tables seat you directly next to strangers, which can sometimes get awkward), kind of pricey for what you get, somewhat loud atmosphere (can literally hear all pots/pans).

I recently opened the listing for Whisk to double check their address, and did a head slap when I realized I hadn't reviewed this restaurant yet. The first time I came to Whisk it was for an Elite event at their former location for a CMYE back in early July, 2009. On that night I had their burger with muenster cheese, cole slaw, grilled Spanish onion, lettuce, tomato and BBQ sauce with a side of their homemade potato chips and it was heaven! Since then I'd been to Whisk's former location a few other times. This past January, I went to their new location in the vicinity of Sunset Place to meet up with several other Yelpers for dinner. Their new location has a dining area that's easily 4 times larger than the one at their original building, but even though they have more people dining here and more people to serve, the food quality doesn't seem to have suffered at all. I'd only eaten a salad for lunch on the day we came here and we didn't arrive until about 7:30 p.m., so I was very hungry when we first sat down. I had an order of their homemade brown bag potato chips as an appetizer (which are incredible if you top them with a bit of sea salt from one of the grinders that's on the tables). For my entree, I had their roasted turkey and brie cheese sandwich with cranberry mayo, tomatoes and arugula. It was really tasty, and everyone else at the table commented on how great their food was and how happy they were with their meals. For dessert I tried their key lime pie which was some of the best I'd eaten. A few of the people at our table commented that they're not even big fans of key lime pie, but they love the slices served up here at Whisk. The only critical comment I'd make is that parking in front of the building and on the street where Whisk is located is very limited. Also, they do check the meters on SW 57th as well, as a few got tickets when their meters expired while they were dining. Aside from that, Whisk is a welcome addition to this neighborhood, and I'm very pleased to see that they've been able to increase the number of patrons they can serve in their dining area, while keeping up the quality of their food and the presentation. Next I need to return here on a Friday to try one of their burgers once again!
(4)Nicole H.
Still good but, they moved to South Miami and its not as good as I remembered :/ Still good though but- the parking and waiting kind of ruined the boutique feel this place used to have...
(4)Mit P.
When you drive into the back street where this place is located and see the parking lot full of Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari and the odd Rolls Royce, you know this place is going to be special. And it lives up to the promise. Things I like 1) Everything on the menu. It's really good. The burger is as good as people say. A lot of their sandwiches are great - I like the Shrimp Po Boy, the various types of steak sandwiches, and the Turkey and Brie sandwich. The cheddar and pimento toast points and the fried green tomatoes are good to share. The spicy seared beef is my favorite of the mains. 2) Great desserts. Key Lime Pie is good, but the Berries Romanov is my favorite. 3) Friendly staff and service. 4) Casual relaxed atmosphere suitable for Southern Florida. 5) Always room to eat at the bar. Things to improve 1) Parking is difficult.
(5)Rags M.
There's nothing trendy about Whisk. It's just good Southern style food done right. Yes, parking is tight, the dining space is relatively small and it is insanely popular just about any hour of the day. But their service is on mark, food comes out fast and hot, and tables turn over quickly. Order whatever strikes your fancy. It's all good.
(5)Maria A.
3 years, that's how long it's been since I started coming to Whisk. And the only thing I can say for certain is that it's gotten better with age. It recently moved and I, probably like many regulars was awaiting the new space. I've been back four times since their re-opening and I'm impressed with their growth. They've added some new dishes, the space is bigger, the parking is still bad (and to be fair the supply will never meet the demand; unless they owned a parking garage) and the staff is still as friendly as ever. Besides, they still have the familiar favorites from the former digs. New standout - the chicken wings, just say yes! Coming soon - Beer & Wine! until then call to confirm they're still in BYOB phase

When a craving comes along, you must Whisk it. For a yummy time at lunch, you must Whisk it! Whisk it, (watoosh!) Whisk it Good! Have you ever high-fived a million angels? I have. I believe it happened shortly after I bit into a date stuffed with gorgonzola cheese, and wrapped in bacon. It happened again when I had the shredded cheddar, parmesan, pimento, scallion spread with the dusted garlic toast points. By the time I got around to actually ordering my amazingly delicious entree - 2 burritos stuffed to the brim with pulled pork-lechon style, jasmine rice, black beans, pico de gallo, sliced avocado, cilantro & sour Cream .. I could only take down one burrito, and was pretty sad to be too full to keep eating. I felt as stuffed at the overflowing burrito in front of me. I literally pouted that I couldn't fit anymore! So, how good was it? I was back that night for New Year's Eve takeout . and a few days later for their daily special, Shrimp and Grits. (I'm a city girl with a Southern Heart, what can I say?) Basically, it's growing to an addiction of dangerous proportions, but the food is worth it. I love that it is local, fresh, and the location is cozy enough for a good lunch time or dinner gathering. Parking-well- the gates to Heaven come at a price. Prepare to battle it out with the Parking Vultures or do some walking. Believe the hype. Believe the glory. and leave room for dessert!
(5)Spencer A.
My spicy chili steak was fantastic. Was not pleased with the up-charge for substituting my rice for succotash when it was the waitress's idea. Management removed the charge without so much as an "sorry about that." No offer of coffee or desert, just the revised check. Got there early so parking was no problem. But it looked like a mess when we left as the place was getting crowded. I found the wait staff uninspired and disinterested. My only complaint as the rest of the meal and experience was good. Would go back but not in a hurry.
(3)Myriam V.
Just had dinner at Whisk for the first time. The food was fresh, delicious and the service was excellent. I can't say enough good things!! Rarely do I write reviews unless something is extremely good or extremely bad.
(5)Laura G.
Not too shabby! My lovely friend stephanie finally got me to try whisk for our lunch date last week. I was pressed on time and leaving to Italy soon, she decided it would be a great idea to have some southern fair. I drove around a bit trying to find parking in the wrong spot and decided to wait for Steph so SHE (a Whisk veteran) could show me where to go. I can't say I was a fan of the walk in 110 degree heat to this hidden little gem in a strip mall, but I was greeted with large mug of cold water, which certainly made all these worries 'melt away.' When we got there was a so loud and crowded that we couldn't hear each other so we ate quickly, which is part why I gave this place four stars (the other is because I just don't understand why anyone would ever decide to make fried chicken with chicken breast). I had my very first taste of Fried Green tomatoes, which I must say they taste a bit like mozzarella sticks, clearly not my favorites. Next we ordered the dates, which were downright amazing, thick cut bacon and a very nice filling and to finish off our meal we tried the pulled pork with juuuust the right amount of BBQ and a very well made cornbread. All in all, I would be more than happy to come back here -you know- for quality control.

Each individual dish has it's own delight, from the homey feel of the appetizers to the more rich in flavor main dishes with a variety of options from sandwiches to the slow cooked to perfection beef.
(4)Jose M.
This place is awesome: great service, even better food. I recommend the dates and the pork sliders. The decoration is really cool too.
(4)Sabrina L.
Whisk is kinda hidden behind Sunset place, but don't let that fool you, this place was pretty crowded on a Tuesday Night. Decided to go with a small appetizer , ordered the hummus, my friend had the cheese appetizer which I ate most of because it was so damn good!! but at this time...cannot recall the name; and my other friend tried the burrito. but the highlight overall were the potato chips!!!! soooooooo good!! u must try it! Gotta come here again and try more dishes!
(4)Brian C.
I think this place is overrated. I read the reviews and gave it a couple chances. The parking is horrible. The lot is small and can only fit a couple of cars. There is parking in the alley, but I've never seen a spot open up there. Onto the food. The food is decent. I wouldn't go to say that it is amazing or anything, but just decent. I had the fried chicken and it was moist, but wasn't that flavorful. Each bite seemed like it was missing something. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either...just ok. The burrito, however, was awful. I'm from LA so I know a good burrito when I have one. This wasn't it. Dry and tasteless, I struggled through it. Was not good at all. The only good thing I had was the cornbread. It was moist and a solid piece of cornbread. The butter that went with it was good as well. I slathered it all over the cornbread and ate a butter drenched piece of cornbread. The place is small tucked in the middle of a back alley. If you don't look out for it, you'll definitely miss it. The staff is friendly and attentive which is a plus. Service was always good when I went, but the food didn't live up to the reviews.
(3)Diany S.
Now this place was seriously packed when I went. Finding parking is a bit of a problem. I forgot exactly what I ordered, but I do remember it was good.
(4)Carol P.
Best overpriced fried chicken I've ever had! Amazing mashed potatoes and love their sweet tea!!
(4)Michelle B.
I ate here few days ago for lunch and want to try breakfast if they have it. If you can get a table i recommend it. There brussel sprouts in some aioli sauce are superb and there cornbreads good also. They have great sandwiches. It's crowded and cramped and the service was decent but good food.
(4)Jacob C.
I could have sworn that I wrote a review about Whisk already considering the numerous times I've been there...but I guess not. If I could honestly give Whisk more then 5 stars I would. I went to the old Whisk and I've been to the new Whisk and it has never disappointed me. Everything that they serve is absolute perfection. I won't bother wasting any time talking about the old Whisk location considering you can't go there anymore. The new one is hidden on a back street close to Sunset Place. You might wanna break out the GPS to find it if you're not familiar with the area. Parking can be a little scarce...especially because they just opened so a lot of people have been going. Everything on the menu is worth getting...and I really mean that....EVERYTHING!! They have different specials everyday so you might want to take a glance at the specials board because those are always great as well. If you really want to try yourself to something nice, you'll go to Whisk on a Friday and have the burger special. They only serve the burgers on Friday...and every Friday its a different one. I've had burgers all over Miami and I can honestly say that their burgers are hands down the BEST in Miami! My favorite burgers are the Blue Smoke burger and the Short Rib Burger....my mouth is actually starting to water thinking about them. I think I'm going to go to Whisk right now just because I'm writing this review!
(5)Caroline H.
Whisk is an excellent place, and truly a gem in Miami. I started eating there right after they opened and quickly became a fan. The prices are excellent for the food they have. They have a large selection of sandwiches that I usually order from, large entrees with classic meals, and a bunch of different appetizers. The food there is so packed with flavor, I always end up scarfing down my meal in about 5 minutes. The dessert is delicious, and when I'm in the mood to really treat myself I get the bread pudding. The service is wonderful, and I've never had to wait for a table more than 15 minutes. The only downside is the parking. The only time I can get a spot in their tiny lot is about 3-4 pm in the afternoon, or right before they close. This is, however, typical for a lot of South Miami restaurants. It is also a bit loud inside, as the whole place is concrete, but that doesn't bother me. I can honestly say that the food there is the best tasting food I have ever eaten, and the prices are great. I eat there almost every week!
(5)Grant P.
When we decided to try this place we were on a bit of a time crunch. We only had an hour and a half before a movie we were seeing started across the street, and there was a 40 minute wait for a table. We decided to suck it up and have some wine at the crowded bar while we waited. Unfortunately, at the time they only served beer and wine. My S/O is always let down by that since she doesn't drink beer and needs to be in a wine mood--which isn't often (so high maintenance). I, on the other hand, love wine anytime. Once we were sat we told our server about the movie we were trying to make and the stepped up service was surely appreciated! The food was also great! Being from Atlanta, the atmosphere and Southern cuisine was a little touch of home for us. I would certainly recommend this place. Try to hit it on an off-night. The parking is limited and so is the seating.
(4)Bill B.
A great little spot in an out-of-the-way location. Great find. Had it not been recommended I'd never have have found it! I went there for an early dinner. The appetizer, salad and dinner were excellent. My date had a dish with which she was very pleased. While both of us enjoyed our dinners, we also got the dessert menu and had difficulty with the ultimate decision as they all looked excellent. Settling on the peanut butter pie it was great but a bit larger than we could finish. Not complaining, just a comment. Would love to go back. It is a Miami version of southern cooking. Pretty good version too as the menu's items are excellent.
(4)Iletuno E.
This is a favorite for a quality, reasonable meal with a nice, casual atmosphere. I once had a piece of Key Lime Cake that I'll never forget. Amazing
(4)Jeff A.
Amazing! Had to try the fried green tomatoes AND the bacon wrapped dates - fantastic! I had the chicken & spinach salad ... just as good! I just wish I had some room for dessert.
(5)Monica D.
Whisk is a unique restaurant with its Southern style food presented in a sofisticated style and in a chic & casual setting. The place has a lively feel to it since voices bounce off the walls as if you are in dining hall. My sandwhich was nothing less then decadent, stacked up high, it had fried green tomatoes, a fried egg, bacon, greens and other delicious things in it which I can't remember but combined to make an amazing flavour. The sauce especially. I asked what was in the sauce and I can't remember the ingredients because it was like ten different things which also combined to make delicousness. Home made fries and lemonade topped this all off. The server was enthusiastic about the food ..and really knowledgable about it too! It's tucked away in a dark street but its well worth finding this treasure and you'll be surprised to see there's lots of people there late on a week night.
(4)Greg B.
I had to take my buddy to the airport the other day, he was here on R&R with his family visiting his parents before heading back to Ft Bragg to ship out to Afghanistan. It was a pretty emotional goodbye- his mother was crying, wife was sobbing and kids wouldn't let him go. Driving over to Miami international he was getting a little worked up, rare to see for a guy whose deployed as much as he has. I asked him what the deal was and he looks over at me and says "I'M GONNA MISS BURGER FRIDAY AT WHISK!" So there you go folks, if the only thing on a guys mind whose about to roll out to the shiznicks is missing those tasty gourmet whisk burgers--well then you know what I had to do. Told his dumbass to get the eff' out of my ride so I can get to Whisk. Here's the data Food: My idea of gourmet. I recently had the mahi mahi sandwich, fresh tomato, mutli grain bread and a good dijon sauce. Not going to talk about the burgers , just look at the pictures and they speak for themselves. They also have these cheese potato chips that were damn good. To top it off I ordered a black coffee and the waitress was happy to hear that because they don't have any cortaditos or espresso here.... Atmosphere: I've been here twice and both times this place was packed and I'm talking like people about to shoot each other for parking spots packed. Here's a tidbit, if the parking lot is full drive around the corner and drop a few bucks for a metered spot. Service was good, especially considering the amount of folks being served. Excellent food, good service and atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back here again.
(4)Robert D.
Amazing food and service. This is the place that you will never feel like you waste your money. A classic Miami restaurant that you can go with your parents, friends or date. PS try the cornbread and aged white cheddar cheese dip!!!! Only reason Im giving it 4 stars is because I feel they overcharge you for beer. Unless Im fist pumping to a Lady Gaga song at 3am in some club I shouldn't be charged $8 for a beer.
(4)Natasha S.
I had heard about this place several times and finally made the trek down to south Miami to try it out. I like the design of this place with all the pictures of the whisks everywhere. I had the roasted turkey and Brie sandwich. The sandwich itself was a good portion though they skimped on the Brie. I also had the bacon covered dates with Gorgonzola filling which were very good. Yes, the parking is a pain but I don't hold it against them. I thought that not sitting one person in a party of two was also a bit much but I let it slide. What I do hold against them is their "splitting fees." It is ridiculous when a place tries to nickel and dime you. However, the food itself does warrant a second look.
(3)Tanya L.
O.M.G.! Thank you Ramon for introducing this place to us! I have heard about this place before but did not really believe that the burgers could be that great. Well they proved me wrong!!! Every Friday they make a different burger and in order to try it you have to prepay and reserve. We reserved 4 burgers in advance so that they could prepare them for us this Friday. The place is very small and it is located in a plaza. Parking is not that great. After finally parking we walked in around 6:30pm and they close at 7pm. The place was filled with people and we had to wait for a while to be seated. Finally we get a table and not less than 5 or 10mins later we receive our burgers! It was a Sweet Onion & Bacon burger that consist of 8oz. Naturally Raised Sirloin Patty, Caramelized Spanish Onions, Neuske Bacon, Double Cream Havarti Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato & Dijon on Onion Challah Bun. with House Chips. I am not a onion fan but this burger was delicious. I tend to never finish my food. But this baby disappeared in a heartbeat. When they brought out the burgers several people leaving the restaurant were a little upset and stated "oh you are the lucky ones who reserved the burgers" They were jealous they could not try them. ha ha. Next time reserve! We ended up being the only ones left in the restaurant and the employees were very friendly. They chatted with us and made sure we were satisfied. We even met the chef! For dessert they recommended the key lime pie. Again I am not a dessert fan but figured I would give it a try. They left me speechless. It was the best favor I had tried! If I lived closer I think I would be there every Friday to try all the new burgers. But since I don't live close I think I will be making several trips back on fridays when I have the chance! Everyone should definitely try this place!!
(5)Katy S.
Bleh, I don't see what all the fuss is about. The location is awesome, right by Sunset Place. But the food was pretty mediocre. I had the Turkey, Avocado, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, & Dijon for 7.95. I expected a lot more from this place due to the ranting reviews on Yelp. But I really didn't think it was a life changing sandwich. Maybe it's because I've had one of the best sandwiches of my life in NYC and always compare any sandwich to that place. LOL. Would I give it another try when I'm in the area? Sure. I'm always big on second chances ;)
(3)Michael M.
2nd time here in a week... Any place that serves fresh fish, whether in a sandwich or a platter is a home run for me! Love it! Berry cheesecake for dessert, of boy!!
(4)Caro D.
The new location is great! So much more space, although parking outside of their tiny lot probably means coughing up money to a meter - it is much safer than jay-running across LeJeune during a busy Tuesday lunch hour. Along with more parking, the new location now offers more time: Whisk now serves dinner! Open till 10 PM most days and 11 PM Friday and Saturday makes this an easy weeknight meal out with friends, or weekend date. The atmosphere is still pretty casual and they kept the communal table idea for some diners, which while short on elbow space does encourage you to meet new people - or just eavesdrop, whichever suits you. (I usually eavesdrop, some of the people watching is pretty choice with Lourdes Academy so close by) Food-wise, it's still the same great menu so many other yelpers have raved about. The potato chips are still crisp perfection, the spicy beef is still delicious. They've added a few new items (or items that I looked over before) to go with the new decor, but I've only tried the bacon-wrapped date (incredible) so I can't speak for the others.
(5)Dana R.
This is your quintessential neighborhood spot that is always brimming with people who are antsy to get their hands on some of their specialties (think fried green tomatoes and brown bag potato chips- yum). As soon as you walk in you will feel a sense of home. No snooty waiters, no astronomical prices, and nothing on the menu that needs a lesson in pronunciation. You will find yourself oohing and aahing at others' plates as you make your way to your table, trying frantically to figure out what you will order. Decisions, decisions. You will wish you had invited a few more friends along so you could manipulate the ordering schedule, expertly putting yourself in a position to try as many items as possible. I can help make this process just a little easier for you- do not miss out on the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola. The combination is sweet and savory and you almost feel like you're eating dessert first! Next up is the entree. You really can't go wrong but I will tell you that the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad is to die for. Don't be fooled by the word 'salad' - this is as indulgent as is gets.
(4)Erin L.
I went here on a whim one night with my mother and boyfriend. All of us walked away a little happier, because of how great our meal was! We started out with the fried green tomatoes and the pimento cheese appetizers. We were so smart to get both because the combination was to die for! I am pregnant so I stuck with the soda of the day it was grapefruit basil, yum! I was so impressed by the fried green tomatoes that I got them in a sandwich, fantastic. My boyfriend got the burritos. They were not a typical burrito, but man were they delicious, and I was quite a large portion. My mother got the shrimp and grits, she won. Every bite made her smile! I, of course, had to get dessert. I went with the peanut butter pie. My boyfriend, who does not like peanut butter, and me, who loves peanut butter both went crazy for it. Even though we were both full, we had to finish it. If you haven't been here, you MUST go! It is my favorite restaurant in Miami!

We lucked out on a random walk-in and got seated promptly at the bar. Was half expecting the usual overrated eatery in a Miami. Ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich. shrimp and grits, and fried green tomatoes. We were blown away. So simple yet so good. The pork tenderloin did not taste like any pork I'd tasted. Delicate, juicy, tender, and flavorful...are you sure this us pork??? The shrimp and grits...fresh and grits done right from scratch. I order grits whenever I can. One of the best. Green fried tomatoes with a nice cool buttermilk sauce. Light and perfect lunch. Minus one star for the service. Bartender who served us seemed annoyed or bored at having to take food orders and maybe because we did no order alcohol? Everyone else at the bar seemed to be grabbing lunch besides us. Don't know if she gave them the same "experience" as us. Would love to go back next time we're in town.

Whisk is a trendy restaurant in the heart of South Miami. I have to say, the fried tomatoes are so well done, the bacon wrapped dates are super tasty and may I add...I have never tasted such a DELICIOUS fried mangrove snapper. The mangrove snapper is a special so I call ahead to see if they have it. I gave it 4 stars because the service is just ok. Regardless, i would go back to Whisk in a heartbeat!

This is hands-down my favorite place to eat in Miami - probably because it reminds me the most of home. A native of Jacksonville, dinner consisted of family around the table, fried southern goodness and the sharing of great stories. This is exactly what you find at whisk - and the food is even better! (don't tell my mom!) A gourmet restaurant with an intimate setting, you can always expect to sit next to a stranger at whisk and enjoy dinner with people you may have never met otherwise. Their rustic and charming décor takes the mood even further and makes it really feel like a family table. Lets be honest though, you don't only come to whisk for the atmosphere, you come for their AMAZING food. I have eaten here multiple times and have always been pleased. Their fresh ingredients are mixed with southern inspiration to give you the perfect gourmet meal. My go-to sandwich is the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with pimento cheese, bacon and spring mix. The warmth of the tomatoes melts the cheesy spread even further, its sweetness meshing with the salt of the bacon for a delectable taste. Their burrito is also amazing and comes with 4 pieces, perfect for sharing or taking home for leftovers. My favorite appetizers include their sweet cornbread and bacon wrapped figs. I have yet to make it for burger Friday but intend to try in the very near future as I am sure it will blow my taste buds out of the water!

WHY IS EVERYTHING AT WHISK DELICIOUS?! WHY!? Honestly what is there to say that hasn't already been said? The place is super small, the seating is limited, food is uber delicious, staff is uber friendly, parking and waiting sucks but totally worth it, burger Fridays are the best day to go and the prices are reasonable. I've had the bacon cheddar burger, Whisk burritos, fried green tomato sandwhich, hummus, ceviche, yeah the list goes on and on. This place rocks my world and even though they're moving further away from my job, Whisk is most definitely worth the drive!

So, I was really hoping to like this place more..... but sadly I think you need to be a carnivore to really like this place. I went to lunch here with a friends and we had the hummus for an appetizer. Unless you like your hummus heavy on the cumin and on the thick dry side, I do not recommend. I prefer a more creamy texture and a more even blend of flavors. I ordered the shrimp po boy sandwich (which was one of the specials that day), however I like the one at the Alibi much better. This one was just okay. The shrimp was breaded in a cornmeal batter and were cooked well. The sauce really didn't have much flavor. If I eat here again I will try a different sandwich. They don't have many non-meat options, but do have a couple of seafood sandwiches. I think you get get better sandwiches for better prices elsewhere (if you're not a burger eater). The service was fine and like everyone mentioned....make sure you know where you are going. There is no sign-age and you can park in a metered lot across the street. (the lot there is exceptionally small).

Place is dynamite! Affordable and delicious! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Whisk is one of Miami's best hidden gems. Not only is the service wonderful every time but the food has always been delicious. We've tried the biscuits, fried green tomato salad, spicy carrot soup, chicken salad sandwich, turkey/avocado sandwich, pork loin chop and the bread pudding (to die for!). Whenever you, it's packed but the wait for a table isn't very long. The team does a good job at rotating the tables and filling them quickly. The bar area is also very nice as well. Just do yourself a favor and go! We've gone twice and can't stop raving about it.
(5)Melanie A.
Innovative and delicious. Perfect sized menu and each dish is special. Definitely recommend!
(5)Dominique C.
I have never had anything that even slightly resembles how amazing whisk is in miami. Every time I have gone, the quality is impeccable! You can tell that every bite of food there will be very fresh and maybe even organic/free range. My favorite appetizer is the bacon wrapped dates, filled with cheese! The tuna sandwich is amazing (hits the spot). The shrimp and grits are on point! Everything, just everything is always more than perfect! I would recommend this place to even the snobbiest food friend! You can't really complain unless its noise and space related or maybe because they just ran out of their amazing pork chops.
(5)Crystel L.
The good was excellent and so was the service! Split the fried chicken and steak sandwich with my friend, and both were delicious. I love that they have beer from local (meaning somewhere in Florida) breweries available. The parking is such a hassle, but that's South Miami as a whole, so not the restaurant's fault. Great overall experience.
(5)Elizabeth B.
Unfortunately I cannot give them a life review. Amazing Southern food is hard to find in Miami and Whisk hardly meets that expectation. I had great hope for an unforgettable experience but I ended with one I hope to forget. I had the Lychee sangria which was actually quite delicious but I cannot speak the same for the pimento cheese app. This course was boring and consisted of more cheep Sysco mayo and Parmesan cheese than pimento flavor. The buttermilk fried chicken salad was just as boring because it was basically 3 chicken tenders sitting atop overdressed spinach leaves and yet I was begging for some kind of seasoning!!!! My fiancée had the braised molasses BBQ pork ribs which him growing up in South Carolina and Tennessee was no where near satisfied with. Dessert was ok, we shared the peanut butter mousse pie. In past reviews there were many complaints about the service and I see why, they give you your space and aren't constantly hassling you I like this about them I go out to dinner to enjoy the company of my friends or family not to carry on awkward convo with my server. I'm not too sure what Guy Fieri saw in his trip but I wish it was present in my evening. The place was packed on a Tuesday so if you like sub par food and talking so loud your ears ring and fighting to find a parking spot please stop in this restaurant immediately, but If your looking for your southern food fix keep searching!!!!

This restaurant was not recommended by my circle of friends. They all had warned me about the horrible service. However, I did want to give it a try... What a mistake. Last night our server lost some of the money of our tab, that money was counted not 1 but 3 times by the ladies in my table. After we paid she came back to the table to return us cash!!! We still stayed there for a while talking. Once we decided to leave and we were waiting for our car, because it was raining, the waitress came back and told us that we didn't pay enough. I asked her how much we were short by and she replied "no I'm not short on the tab I'm short on my tip". Manager came outside to assess the situation and ended snatching money out of my hand. He didn't confirm what we said and didn't care to treat his costumers right. What a disgusting experience, I will never go back to that establishment and I will make sure everybody knows what those unprofessional and uneducated people are doing. There's plenty of better places in the area, that I will rather give my money to. Never again!!!!

Went to lunch after my ABPM&R Board exam, could not have chosen a better spot. Had a beer and the seared steak in a spicy coconut sauce! Made me forget about the exam and just put me in a whole better mood. The lunch crowd was thick when I got there around 2pm but since I was alone I was able to grab a spot at the bar. The crowd dispersed around 2:45pm. Even though the restaurant was full the service did not waver one bit and I had my food within 10 minutes of me putting the order in. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in Miami.
(5)Rachel P.
I know, 2 stars for Whisk, say what?! I must have gone and lost my mind! Well the reason is exactly what the stars suggest, "Meh. I've experienced better." First off, how in the world can you even have a conversation in this place without screaming the entire time you are there-mind you this is 2pm on a Tuesday!! It's pretty difficult to get caught up with friends when the room is SO obnoxiously loud and full of several infants! I know, I know..moms need to get out too, but geez, the acoustics in this place pure out suck. And then you get a waiter who is anything but friendly, it makes your dining out experience even worse. Actually, I don't think I even saw any of the waiters smile the entire time we were there. I get it, you're busy, but maybe throwing on some charm or even a welcoming smile will get you a better tip! As for the food, I am pretty disappointed that you can't have half a sandwich with soup or salad or really half of anything. When I asked our waiter he pretty much just said, "No" and didn't offer any suggestions. So needless to say, there are way better lunch spots in Miami where I don't leave with a huge ass headache.
(2)Valerie G.
Amazingly fresh meals everyday. I love this place. You would never expect to find such a great place in such a small street. It seems to be hidden. (Guess that's a good thing as mostly locals come here) Once you walk in you'll fall in love with this place. It's small and cozy. Service is great!
(5)Eli S.
Everyone seems to love this place. I find it just ok. They have all right beers on their menu, and I do love corn bread, but it's hard for me to find something on the menu that really excites me, and the open kitchen will leave you smelling funny for a bit. Call ahead! This place is little and it gets PACKED!
(3)Tam N.
Went here twice already for lunch. One on a monday which was super crowded but I think its due to the spring breakers and one on a sat at 3pm, an off hour. Seating might take a bit if you're coming at prime times but the staff is pretty quick. They're very attentive and will get your order right away. Appetizers: Fried Green Tomatoes: AMAZING def a try if you haven't them, the buttermilk dip makes it even more yummy. Fried corn with spicy butter (comes in 3s) is also a good try. Sandwiches: All of them are great, def get it with the toasted multigrain bread it adds another dimension of flavor. I had the roasted turkey with brie, the turkey with avacado (def a must try), and the skirt steak sandwich. The sandwiches are def big enough to share so try splitting some with friends. Salad: Friend had the skirt steak salad, good portion, fresh greens and great dressing Everything is super fresh and theres even a sitting area right in front of the kitchen to watch them prepare it. There are burger specials on friday to mix it up. Parking is right around the side for FREE but can get full during lunch hrs. Meter parking is available across the street

food continues to be divine. parking, on the other hand, sucks!

Dear Whisk, you built me up, let me down, and built me up again. After reading so many great reviews on here I was expecting nothing but perfection, however, I was a tad disappointed. Strike 1: You were out of your soup of the day, Potato & Goat Cheese w/ Crumbled Bacon. I was craving this so badly, and when I get there - ZIP! All gone. If one offers soup of the day, it should have enough soup to last the whole. entire. day. Strike 2: The "Warm" Homemade Corn Bread w/ Scallion & Honey Butter - how sad. Three chunks of room temperature, stale corn bread with this... lukewarm honey butter mush. I guess it's something you just "whisked" together. Strike 3: The WHISK Gourmet Burritos - kinda bland, nothing exciting. OOOh but I did find a nice surprise in mine: a chunk of ginger. Yummy. When I asked the waiter what it was he said it was not supposed to be in there, but then returned to tell me it's what they cook the jasmine rice with, so it was a mistake. They were kind enough to comp the burrito. Good service! Despite the above going sour... the vegetable fried rice w/ chicken breast was FABULOUS. So tasty, perfectly seasoned, the chicken was perfect! And the star of the show... the one little item that made us realize we will have to come back despite our not so stellar first experience: the key lime pie. OMG. Perfection. So tart, so sweet, that crust... yum! Well done, Whisk! We will be back to try your burgers and hopefully your Goat Cheese and Potato Soup.

EVERYTHING is great on the menu, love coming here. Great service and beers

Went here yesterday night for the first time and boy was it packed! We actually only had to wait about 10 minutes, however, as we were only a party of 2 so they sat us quickly. We ordered the following things: (1) Pulled Pork and Cornbread, (2) Fried Green Tomatoes, (3) Whisk Burritos with Steak, and (4) Shrimp and Grits. The cornbread and tomatoes were absolutely perfect. The cornbread was nice and moist and had that little bit of sweetness that it is supposed to have. The pork was very good as well and the BBQ sauce that came with it was good too, but I think it needs a little more drizzled over the top of the dish rather than on the sides. The tomatoes were very, very good and the breading on them was absolutely perfect as was the ranch to dip them in. I would get both of these dishes again. The Burritos were very good as well, but my only gripe with them were the sizes of the steak that were in them. They were absolutely huge and when you try to bite them down they do not break apart, which is never good. So, you're stuck with a large hunk of meat or having to eat this by taking everything apart. The burrito itself was very good even with this issue. Finally, the shrimp and grits were just okay for me because of the simple fact that it was almost like the dish wasn't even seasoned properly. I had to add salt and pepper to the dish just to get some semblance of flavor from the dish. Once I did this simple thing, the dish became instantly better. I think Whisk does a good job with their small menu and they always keep the diners informed when they run out of things (most of the desserts and some of the entrees ran out on Saturday night - so go early if you want to have a chance at some dishes). The hostess and wait staff were all helpful and very courteous and the prices were fair and I felt like I got my moneys worth. I will definitely be back in the future.
(4)Jared T.
Had a very good burrito. Tasty meal at a average price. Great decor and good staff make this place great for a bite to eat before a movie.
(4)Khiem N.
I have heard about this place for years but never really felt a need to visit. Now after my third time, I would say that this place is fantastic americana food. I have tried something new every time I've dined and they have not disappointed. It is on the pricey side but you do get some real quality food. Especially the sandwhiches.
(5)Hilda H.
I don't know were to begin, but ill start by saying that it is worth waiting thirty minutes for parking. It is worth listening to the bickering of your partner because they are hungry and its taking to long to park. The sand-wishes here are heavenly, the soups are top gourmet, The portions are colossal and busting with flavor. The streak sand-which has a lot of steak an very tender. I tried the ahi tuna sand-which which was amazing, if you love sushi this is going to be just Le creme of Le creme for you. I tried the caramelized onion and potato soup, all i have to say is OMG :) . Definitely will be a regular at whisk and will tolerate the ridiculous parking or any-ones bitching just to get inside and try this food. The only thing i regret is not waiting last time until parking was found because this is the most incredible place for sandwiches Ive been to. You can also make any sandwhich into and entree. Deli Lane has nothing on this place.
(5)Christina R.
Found this restaurant on Yelp and I am so happy I did, I loved the food and the atmosphere is very modern. Love the uniqueness of the entrees. Definitely coming back.
(5)Elizabeth C.
Again, the BLT add avocado was a hit. My boyfriend and I get it on thick, fresh wheat bread and rave to each other with just wide eyed stares. We tried two new things today, a rare thing for us, as we like to stick to what we know at Whisk. Instead of the buttermilk chicken wings, we went with Panko Breaded Pork Flat Iron "Masitas," which are not your abuela's masitas de puerco (see pic). Loved! For dessert, we shared a slice of cake, which today was carrot cake. Salivation! We even got a to-go slice for my boyfriend's dad, a carrot cake connoisseur. Our server was attentive and pleasant. We love Whisk!
(5)Urban G.
The new location is larger and quite lovely. We went on a Monday night. The restaurant was packed. We ordered a glass of wine at the bar whilst waiting for our table. The crowd was a bit of a mixed bag. Mostly middle aged, overweight bordering on obese. The staff is fantastic. Hostess was efficient. Bartender tended bar and our waitress was helpful, cheerful and knowledgable. Attractive staff. Our food was delicious. We ordered a few appetizers and the standout were the brussel sprouts. Yum! Yum! I ordered the grouper with spicy peanut sauce. So delicious was this dish. The parking is a pain in the toukas. The location is off the beaten path but its worth a visit.
(4)Rebecca C.
Please don't go to Whisk Gourmet; I want to keep it all to myself. Yes, it is small. It is crowded. And it's not for groups. Twenty people fit max. There will probably be a wait. Nope, it doesn't have a sign. There's barely parking. And the place isn't really decorated. But what it does have... do I really have to tell you? They have the best tuna sandwiches, mahi sanwiches, homemade lemonade, freshly made fingerling chips, and keylime pie worth fighting for, that means you! They take care of you like if you were a guest in their home. They have new specials daily, check online, to keep us coming back. They have a devoted fan club, now including me.
(5)Miggy F.
Great roast turkey salad
(4)Stacie H.
Introduced by some friends, Whisk has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. I come with my friends, mom and son. I recommend it to anyone who will listen. I love the Fried Green Tomatoes and the Hanger Steak Sandwich. The staff are very friendly and quick. They are really great about water refills! Their desserts are really good and never too sweet. If you like good and hearty comfort food, you will love Whisk.
(5)Carla L.
How many ways do I love thee Whisk? Let me count the ways... Finally, we have made it to the Holy Grail which is Whisk and yes, it was everything that was promised, and MORE. As everyone else has said the place is small. Imagine trying to put 15 - 20 diners in your tiny kitchen. This is what it feels like but if you have a problem with that you can get it to go. Two metal tables (6 people each) and two small tables, one for 2 people and one that fits 3. That is it. Again, worth it. Even though the girls they placed next to me had marshmallows for brains and were talking about the stupidest things I was able to ignore it out of the sheer deliciousness of what was being consumed!!! The amazing food saved them from intense slappage. Now, the food... may I say this was the best sandwich I have EVER eaten? I do not love sandwiches, not my first choice a any point and I HAD come for Burger Friday, however the appeal of an Oven Baked Roast Beef with Goat Cheese won me over. I think I need to say this again, this was the best Sandwich I have EVER eaten. It comes close to the best THING I have ever eaten. I seriously kid you not my dear Yelpers. It was the perfect infusion of flavor, it had just enough sauce with a wee bit of horseradish, the cheese gave it just the right impact. There is much to be said about good food and food that is a rare creation. Few people know how to mix and match flavors to create something new and tantalizing, food can be art and few are true food artists. Michy Bernstein is one of those people, she is a food Artiste, so are the creations at Whisk. Hats off to you. Do NOT park at Havanna Harry's and you will most likely not find parking in front of Whisk. Pay at the meters across the street and put your life in the hands of traffic whizzing by, trust me its worth it. Yes, I did try my husbands burger and it truly was fantastic, however that Roast Beef sandwich was made in heaven just for ME.
(5)Rickie G.
Not to bad of a place. Nothing crazy good that I would make a long trip for, but if your in the area then it's worth a try. Maybe you will order something that will blow your mind like many other reviews. As for me I split a Avocado BLT and a hanger steak sandwich. The hanger steak was cooked the way I asked and tasted pretty good. The Avocado BLT sandwich had a good flavor also but the bacon didn't taste very fresh. Overall the staff was really friendly and you can tell the place has some good food potential. It gets four stars cause I will go back again.
(4)Gustavo A. L.
It's been said that third time is a charm...and on my third try to finally enjoy a Whisk culinary sample - success !! We waited until a bit later to go "after lunch hour" hoping to be able to get a table without waiting, no such luck ! went inside and the owner very charmingly informed us that it would be around a 15 minute wait, to which a random diner gleefully chimed in that the place was totally worth the wait. Based on previous reviews and first hand account from some of our more respected Yelpers, we knew that we were in for a treat, so after thinking about it for 1.2 seconds, we decided that waiting was the best alternative. Initially, we ordered to go, with the option of eating in, should a table open before our food was ready - Lo and behold, our WAS ready right on time for us to take a place at the table, which in all fairness, makes it part of the whole experience. So the food - simply outstanding- Being Burger Friday, I opted for the burger of the day- this was no ordinary burger...it is hands down, by leaps and bounds, the BEST burger I've ever had. Not surprising though, this is no ordinary burger, in fact it is technically called a burger because of the way it is presented, but I would say that this is a Gourmet meal presented as a burger, all the ingredients are top notch, the beef is simply ....perfect !!! the vegetables on the burger are a top of the line salad and the cheese is just amazing ... to the point that you can totally remove the buns and eat this with a fork and knife and it is a fantastic meal. Oh yeah and the potato chips, out of this world ! I was allowed to take a bite ...or several from my partners sandwich - Baked Roast Beef Sandwich - and the best word I can use to describe it is FLAWLESS!! The food tells the story here, these are carefully created, prepared and presented dishes, that totally set Whisk Gourmet apart and puts it on top of the class. As for the experience, eating on stainless steel kitchen tables, sitting on stools, elbow to elbow with perfect strangers is totally unique and special. Embrace it ! Savor it ! Engage your table mates in conversation - the food makes you feel so good, that you will be totally satisfied and entertained. This unique dining experience leaves me secretly hoping that Whisk never decides to expand, relocate or change absolutely anything about them, it makes them special and unique and I selfishly like it that way.
(5)Katy W.
Wow. I trusted my husband to find us some food near the Biltmore for a quick stop on our Coral Gables road trip from Miami Beach. The fact that he chose this suggests that I should let him pick more often! Seriously though, this is one of two places we ate in Coral Gables and both were memorable. Not only was food in all of Miami/South Florida awesome, but Coral Gables of all places also really impressed. We luckily arrived just after the opened and it was already busy. I was a little physically ill with poison oak (whole 'notha story) so I wasn't thrilled with the bar height stainless table with stools we ended up at. Since my mother-in-law (hereafter MIL) was along with us, I didn't mention it. Anyway, the server was very pleasant in a completely sincere way (another thing I found common in Miami throughout our travels!) and promptly asked for our drink order. We then proceeded to debate the menu and my MIL and I landed on the steak sandwich, an unusual choice for me and I think her as well. It came with a lovely salad on the side with a great dressing. We enjoyed it immensely. She was a little disappointed because from her vantage point, she had noticed the homemade potato chips were all the rage and we failed to order or substitute any. (In fact, she kept bringing it up and we seriously considered returning mainly for the chips, but also for the other great menu items.) My husband ordered the low country shrimp and grits and he really liked that as well. I am glad I didn't get it though because the grits seemed bland. My husband is a little bit of a grit snob though and he seemed to think that was how it was 'supposed' to be. I am inclined to think he's right. This was one of the best lunches we ate and everything felt fresh and interesting. I am a little sad we missed out on the chips and that we will have to travel about 3,000 miles to sample their items again. A great treat and well priced. Oh yea, one negative: parking is totally insane. I was driving a monster-sized rental and just gave up trying to park it well since this woman *insisted* on pulling out of her spot (even though I was almost in my space) before I could park, annoying the crap out of me.
(5)Stephanie G.
So, I FINALLY made it over to Whisk Gourmet after months of envying all of my friends that work on the area while i'm stuck in Downtown all-the-time! If they were open on weekends, I would have paid them a visit earlier. Sadly, they're not. Before placing my takeout order I pulled the menu up on my iPhone and settled on the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Organic Spinach Salad with Shaved Red Onion, Local Avocado Slices, Chopped Egg, Cremini Mushrooms & Honey-Mustard Dressing. The salad really flavorful and quite good. The dressing went a long way. I didn't need the mushrooms, but the rest of it hit the spot. If i'd eaten there I could have taken advantage of their specials menu which looked really interesting, so i'm anxious to return to try one of their famous burgers everyone keeps raving about. Hopefully, it'll be soon.
(4)Keri L.
Came here for lunch with a couple friends. We planned on trying another place, but when my friend saw Whisk so close, she became overwhelmed with excitement and insisted we come to whisk instead. I'm so glad she did, this place is amazing! The place was packed, but we were still seated quickly. There was a slight delay in getting our orders, but not too long for the amount of people inside. I tried the bbq chicken sandwich, a creation so huge I had to eat it with a fork and knife. It was delicious, I savored end every bite! My friends enjoyed their meals as well. I would definely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty southern food with a modern twist.
(5)Chris C.
Simple comfort food deliciously elevated and executed. Great sandwiches and salads. But beware of some minor but annoying peripheral nits - parking is an absolute nightmare, you can be waiting for quite a while for a table during peak dinner time (not many tables and they don't take reservations for parties of fewer than six), and some of the patrons can be a little obnoxious. But come when it's slower and enjoy the cornbread and chicken!
(4)C R.
Parking is a bitch, but the food is great. Fresh, very tasty stuff.
(5)Jessica B.
Yummy, went with a friend for lunch, it was awesome, it was also my second time there as my first i had picked up lunch on the go. Great service, friendly staff, and divine food. this quaint little establishment has amazing plates. First we started with their buttermilk wings and their potao chips delish. Then my friend had the mahi sandwich tasted great but to much lettuce on it for my taste and I had the turkey and dried cranberry salad which was great. Finally we finished off with the best bread pudding, omg delicious. I definitely will be going back the only downfall is the parking. Its quite small for the amount of people that go to the restaurant.
(5)Ivan M.
Best lunch place in Miami - hands down. Easiest way to explain Whisk is an very nice Cracker Barrel. Exceptional comfort food, sandwiches, and deserts. Start with fried green tomatoes, and quickly move to the legendary burrito. Follow with a homemade blondie. And wash down with freshly squeeze lemonade. Seriously, stick to my menu, you won't regret it.
(5)carla c.
Don't know what the hype is all about! Food is okay and service is HORRIBLE! Went on a Wed and our server was on a "break" the entire time we were there. I had the green tomatoes, but how can you mess those up and a burrito that honestly Chipotle makes a better one. Not worth the wait or hassel!
(1)Lizette Q.
After reading so many reviews.. my friends and I decided to hit up WHISK. The location was great, a little tucked in, however, they have parking upfront and it's also walking distance to the Sunset Place Shops. The place inside was small yet comfortable. We were seated immediately; (I think we beat the dinner rush) and shown the specials of the days. I had the grilled and slice skirt steak sandwich which consisted of multigrain bread, steak, lettuce, tomato and I believe a blue cheese dressing topped off with caramelized onions. The sandwich was delicious; the items in the sandwich were a great compliment. My only complaint was that the steak was a little hard but it could have been because I ordered it well done. My friend ordered theirs medium well and was a little softer. Still my sandwich was delish and I would have it again. The sandwich came with the house chips and OMG these chips were freaking great. The chips were crispy, somewhat sweet with shaved parmesan cheese - QUE RICO! The chips alone are worth a repeat visit. We ended the meal with a slice of the key lime pie. The key lime pie was served with whip cream and several pieces of raspberry. The key lime was really good, it was sweet, smooth and with the right amount of tangy. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. Our waitress could have afforded to smile a bit, but otherwise, a great place...I would definitely go back.

WHISK = Home-y, Tasty, Consistent food. As a local (live in South Gables), this is definitely our "go-to" spot. It has never failed us (and we've been going there at least twice a month for the last year). My husband always orders the same dish, the Pork Loin (comes with roasted potatoes and green beans and carrots), and it's ALWAYS been cooked perfectly! We also always order the fried green tomatoes and they are also always crispy and super tasty! I always alternate with salads and they have all been great, considering I don't like a lot of "stuff" on my salads. My personal fave is the Turkey, Goat cheese and cranberry Spinach salad. Go for it! They even have the appetizer portion on this one. We've also ordered the corn bread with pulled BBQ pork, the fish of the day, shrimp and grits (by far the BEST in town) and most sandwiches (which I find to be the best sandwich deals in town! They are large and delicious for the price!) The only problem is parking- there is barely any. We usually have to wait for about 20min for a spot to open up unless we're lucky... If you haven't tried this SOMI spot, go for it! Great for lunch and dinner!

Came in on a Saturday for lunch w/ the girls, and it was packed. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated (which can be a ridiculously long time for the ravenously hungry). The design is modern, clean, and simple. Thankfully, nothing too pretentious. After being seated, we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes and Orange Basil soda, which were amazing! For lunch, we had the sandwiches which took a lot longer than expected to come out. However, the food was definitely worth the wait. Had one of the best tuna avocado sandwiches in my life, and I felt completely satisfied. I liked the concept of farm to table, you can definitely taste the freshness in their food, and the Open Kitchen was a nice touch. Liked this place a lot :) Would definitely come back, but be prepared to wait on Saturdays.

FINALLY! I have been hearing from many-a-yelper that this place was outta hand. I had an inkling that I would not be disappointed, since I hold yelp recommendations in high esteem. 'Twas true yet again. Went today for lunch with some fellow yelpers, and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table at lunch time. The place is tiny, about 4 tables, but no matter. The wait was well worth it. This place really does have the best burger I've ever had. (No, I've never been to 8 Oz, B&B, or One Burger, but I have a hard time believing any of those places could even come close to what I savored today). I had the pastrami and aged cheddar burger (minus the pastrami, wasnt really in the mood for it). The aged cheddar was the perfect cheese for a burger. It enhanced the flavor of the beef perfectly. Not ONLY does this place have the best burger, but they also happen to have the most incredibly home made chips I've tasted in my entire life. Like the good foodie that I am, even though I was full I kept reaching for the chips on my plate, each time thinking "ok, last one". They're just too good to be left on the dish alone and unwanted. I had a tiny little bite of their key lime pie, and it was amazing. A frequent mistake I have found with key lime pies is that people tend to make them too tart with not enough of a sweet kick to balance it out. Not at Whisk. Even if you have no room left after the world's best burger and home-made chips, do yourself the favor of ordering this pie. Next time I plan on trying the Gorgonzola salad. I saw one of the waitresses bringing over to the table next to us, and it looked too good to pass up. Added bonus- they serve their drinks in mason jars :)

I love the food and the atmosphere! I have been to Whisk a couple times as it came highly recommended by a few friends. Trust me you wont be disappointed. It has such a down to earth feel with great food! It has limited parking, but I am not afraid of having to walk a little bit more for some good food. I have tired the roasted turkey (roasted in their kitchen, not deli meat) salad and a daily BBQ chicken special, both were great. I also like that they have a vegetable plate that includes their special vegetable sides for the day....love me some dark leafy greens! By far the best thing I have had at Whisk is their Mango Cake! Oh is it to die for! I am not a big sweets person but it has to be one of the best cakes I have ever had and I crave it now. So when you go, ask if they have their mango cake and order a slice (which is more like two slices in size). I wish more small local spots like Whisk would start popping up around South Miami!

Absolutely Declicious! I went to Whisk for the first time after hearing great things and it went above and beyond my expectations. The place has great atmosphere, the staff is friendly and the food superb! We started with the fried green tomatoes, okra, and bacon wrapped dates which were out of this world. For an entree I had the shrimp and avocado salad..amazing, I cleaned the plate! As full as I was I had to try the dessert which was bread pudding-phenomenal, AND some dark chocolate mousse with pralines-OMG I was in heaven. I will be returning here very very soon!

Whisk is exactly the type of restaurant that I absolutely love to love. The menu is full of mouthwatering dishes, playful flavor combos, and good ingredients. Unfortunately, I feel like Whisk has succumbed to a typical disease of this type of restaurant...complacency. Changing the menu every now and then doesn't solve the problem inherent with this type of food--if it isn't executed well, it isn't worth eating. We ordered the brussel sprouts with bacon (a special), and I was underwhelmed. Nothing original about the dish, and the bacon was more there for texture than flavor...not something bacon is used to. Overall, underwhelming and under seasoned. Each of us order skirt steak dishes for dinner, my dining companion the skirt steak salad and myself the skirt steak sandwich. Salad -- meat was DANGEROUSLY undercooked, and this is from someone who enjoys rare beef. DANGEROUSLY. Also, lukewarm...Sandwich -- bleu cheese was indistinguishable as blue cheese and the beef was lukewarm. I'm more disappointed than anything, I'd heard such good things. Maybe it deserves a second chance...but not anytime soon. I'm still disappointed.

This is a gem of a place, tucked away where what passes for locals find it more than those of us from farther away. The menu is inventive and reasonably deep for a small place, the food is wonderfully presented, tastes great, and the atmosphere is just to the hip side without sliding into hipster territory.

I knew I needed to try Whisk the moment all my favorite Yelpers started giving it glowing 5-star reviews. Unfortunately, I work too far away to go for lunch, and they're not open for dinner. Finally, as fortune would have it, I didn't have to work on a Friday, enlisted a couple friends, and off we went! Since it was burger friday after all, I couldn't resist, and I was treated to a huge beefy burger topped with carmelized onions, bacon, and gorgonzola. Yum and yum! The parmesan-dusted homemade chips were equally awesome. For starters we tried the guacamole, with fresh-fried tortilla chips, and the fried green tomatoes. They were both delish! The chips were a wee bit greasy, but that's cool. One friend had the chicken salad sandwich on multigrain, and it was quite tasty. Another had the burger, and loved it as well. And the last one had the burritos, which were quite tasty, and even better with a splash of hot sauce. We all saved room for dessert and tried the blondie and Brendan's Famous Key Lime Pie. The blondie was good, but maybe a few too many chocolate chips for me - let me taste that blondie flavor! The key lime pie was indescribable. I wish I had ordered one just for myself, and I know that next time I will! The service was fantastic. Our waitress even kindly asked a couple to move to a 2-top to make room for our party of 4. The super-nice couple kindly obliged, and we barely had to wait 10 minutes for our table. Our waitress was there to refill our drinks when we drained them, and couldn't have been nicer. I don't know when I'll get to actually eat at Whisk again, but I have devised a plan that will allow me to call in my order, drive down from my office, pick it up, and be back before my lunch hour's up. So it means I have to eat at my desk. For Whisk, it's totally worth it!!

First of all, this would be a five star rating had it not been for the hostess forgetting about us and seating others ahead of us. The situation was remedied and we decided to eat at the bar. Whisk is one of the best restaurants in Miami. This is a no nonsense kind of place with a wide variety of offerings to satisfy just about any craving. We started with a nice glass of processo which then led to a Cobain Syrah suggested by the hostess. At $40, it was a bit pricey for what it was but still good. Fried green tomatoes did not disappoint. I can't say I have ever had real, homemade FGTs. The ones at most of the southern type joints I've been to are of the frozen variety that are not good at all. These were not like that at all. I liked that the breading did not fall off in one big clump when touched with a fork. We split the herb crusted veal skirt steak special. Wonderful. I don't like that they charge a split fee. We were thinking of having a couple offerings so that's why we split. They do serve splits on two plates however one would have sufficed. Perhaps if we had just ordered the entree without specifying a split they would not have charged the split fee. I will ask next time. We finished off the evening with a wonderful chocolate bread pudding. I am a huge bread pudding fan and the chocolate variety was intriguing. Good stuff. It isn't a big deal but wow is this place loud. I'm surprised they wouldn't make attempts at softening the din by using some heavy cloth wall coverings or even some acoustic foam on the ceiling. Both of these items could be disguised as art and applied tastefully to the space. Thanks Whisk. I will most certainly return.

Honestly just go. I've been there two days in a row now and I am itching to go back for dinner. And I absolutely hate routines. I'm a spontaneous type of person that doesn't like to eat eggs for breakfast two days in a row, so believe me when I say it's a marvelous joint. The decor is very American and elegant, completely open format vibe(great job to the designer) The food is absolutely amazing. Best Key Lime pie I've ever had, best Mahi Mahi sandwich I've ever had. Great American Coffee. Amazing shrimp & grits platter. I would down my rating due to the location, but the food gives me such a warm home-like feeling inside, the location of the restaurant (it's tucked away on a side street close to Sunset Mall in South Miami) is not an issue. The staff members are very nice, educated, and engaging. It's creative, it feels right and tastes good. "Whisk" it up for lunch or dinner next time you're in the Sunset/South Fla area! Oh ya -they cater! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Location: 4/5

Always outstanding
(5)Ricardo M.
One place I wish I remembered to go to more often. Always fantastic food (the Fried Green Tomatoes is a must) and the service is always friendly. A bit on the higher side, but the quality is apparent with every meal. Highly recommended.
(5)Amelia G.
This is by far the most "foodie" place in my neighborhood. Everything else around us, is either too commercial or for the "non-adventurous" types. I've been here MANY times for lunch and once for dinner and it's an awesome spot for some good beer and a good, quick bite for a great price. Only critique is, it's SO loud. You really have to yell to have a conversation. Ew. Either way, the food is awesome, so if you don't want the noise, order it to go, it's just as good. Don't miss out on the following: - Charleston Chicken sandwich - this is my regular order and it's the best chicken sandwich in town. I guarantee it. - Brown bag chips are...FIRE! - Pork Burrito - is HUGE and perfect for two people (they bring you two burritos!!!!) - Bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese...I know everyone is doing it, but it's really good. So why not? Dessert is "meh," nothing out of this world...stick to drinks and beer and get dessert somewhere else in town. Oh, and by the way, they do a fresh Arnold Palmer...and it's awesome.
(4)George G.
Love the food! Dig the fried green tomatoes, all the salads, sandwiches and the specials are top notch! Im just down the street so I get to pop in for often. 2 complaints, that keep me from giving the 5 star treatment 1st, is the parking, it sucks in the worst way. Luck I can walk but the 2 times I have driven I have been blocked in by another diner( whom went ahead & sat down to eat). furthermore, every time I have eaten here some kind of parking issue or dispute has occurred. The place has 8 tight compact spots w/ 1 lane to pull in & back out of. Some folks get really heated! So, that reviewer that said he had no parking problems, just remember it summer & when school gets in this highly residential neighborhood gets packed!!! 2nd, the place has only like 10 individual tables and they take reservations for lunch. This really becomes a problem when you have a line out the door and it's a rushing lunch crowd. Your next in line, you see your table open up, your ready to eat and BAM! " I'm sorry I have to hold this table it's been reserved."
(4)Alex C.
It's really tiny in here so you might have to be getting up to let people by. The fried green tomato side is really well done and comes fresh from the fryer. My Turkey and Brie sandwich left a bit to be desired, though. It felt like something I could make (and be disappointed by) at home. However, I hear it from a good source that the Friday burger is the cat's pajamas so I will try that next time.
(3)Angelina N.
I miss their old big ooey gooey break apart to glorious strands of warm chocolate-baked to perfection chocolate chip cookies. Now they are doing "cookies and milk" which is a plate of 4 small stale cookies with funky flavors and a shot glass of goopy sugary "milk" to dip them in. Whisk...if you can hear me...don't fix something that isn't broken. Please bring back the old recipe of giant cookie deliciousness stacked in a jar! I would give it 5 stars for the impeccable food and excellent service but, as a chocolate chip cookie fanatic, it broke my heart to end a perfect meal with a not-so pleasant dessert.
(4)Cory P.
After hearing about it for a long time, we finally decided to give this place a shot since we moved a couple of blocks away might as well get to know the new 'hood. After almost giving up due to no parking available, there was quite a long wait so decided to just sit and order at the bar. Im so glad we did! Hands down, best avocado BLT EVER! My husband had the hangar steak sandwich and said it was pretty good. The key lime pie was ok, not great The bacon wrapped dates were wayyy too sweet. Also they are supposed to be stuffed with gorgonzola cheese.....but I didn't taste any, so that was confusing. Place was crowded so will have to return during a weeknight or maybe for lunch, but the food was delish. Prob more of a lunch place though because larger selection of sandwiches.
(3)Elyse W.
Damn, Whisk. It's like you were a pretty, Midwestern farm girl who went to Hollywood, met your gays, and became a bombshell. I mean, damn, ever since this place moved to South Miami and became a proper restaurant, its fantastic! I took my dads here for his birthday and he's got classic American, Cheesecake Factory/I WANNA BIG 'OLE PIECE OF DEAD COW ON MY PLATE STAT type of guy. Okay, I'm not really being fair, he has more discerning taste than that, but I've taken him to other places in town I really like -- Michy's, Mandolin Aegean , Grazianos -- and he'll roll his eyes, like I'm some kind of pretentious snob or something, which I might be (BUT MY TASTE IS THE BEST.....right?.....RIGHT??!!?!?!!!! -- sorry, I channeled Kanye West there for a second). Anyway, the thing is, my mom is a phenomenal cook, so for my dad to throw down money on food, it better be ample and it better be good and Whisk totally fit the bill (which I paid). Everything we ordered was bursting (like a Kardashian in Spanx) with flavor -- from the bacon wrapped dates, to the salads, and the entrees -- all of which everyone agreed were kick ass. I got the spicy seared beef and it had this really great sweet and spicy dynamic to it that was super satisfying. Even the side of spinach was tasty, THE SPINACH! If Popeye ate here on the regular, he'd end up looking like J. Wellington Wimpy. Service was great as well. Had the same cute waiter, Dan, who was very sweet to my blunt parents (my mom: "I want your cheapest glass of red wine, please"....she also conned him into letting her keep this ceramic cow that pours milk from its mouth that Whisk gives you with your order of coffee...and he was nice about it...) After the meal, my mom asked me if it was as good as her food and I said, "Yes...if you had gone to culinary school" because it's basically American comfort food executed by someone with a sophisticated sense of flavors and textures. Just a really good place.
(5)Jose M.
Whisk is a very popular spot for locals and was packed. I've heard so many good things about this place and was looking forward to eating here. My expectations were high. On the service side no complaints. Great service and nice ambiance. The food. The food. I liked the food, but was not blow away. I so much wanted to love the food. It was good, but not incredible gourmet. The prices on the other hand were gourmet. I think food items are expensive because they use a lot of organic meats and vegetables, so please don't change that. I am willing to pay for organic. Desert was good also. Had the Key Lime pie. A pricey piece of Key Lime Pie at that. I recommend going here, but it won't be my first choice.
(3)Michael B.
Took a friend here on a Thursday evening at around 9 and was seated without reservations in 15 minutes. Nice casual cool vibe. Had the bacon wrapped date appetizer which were a great mix of sweet and salty taste. For an entree, I had the shrimp and grits which was extremely tasty. The grits by themselves had great flavor with a buttery taste mixed with crushed bacon. The shrimp were also good and had some bacon grease caked on the tail shells as a bonus that gave them some extra flavor when I sucked out the meat in the tail. Lol. My friend had the burrito and loved it. All in all for the flavor and price, this place is a winner!
(5)Berta C.
I am never disappointed with the food at Whisk. Delicious. Parking is rather annoying and the wait can be a little intense but it is one of the best places to dine in the area.
(5)Berit G.
I went to Whisk for the first time this past Wednesday. I met four of my girlfriends for dinner. First the pros: the food was great, ambiance nice, if a little too loud. The Fried Green Tomato appetizer and hummus were delish. My entree was the beet salad, which was amazing! Now, as far as the things that I think they need to address for future visits: please have something better than folding chairs for those instances where an extra chair is needed at a table. Also, please be a little more prompt with the service: getting us our first drink, taking orders, getting our bill out, picking up payment. The waiter was slow with respect to all of this. The chocolate cake/mousse dessert was soooo worth the calories. : )
(4)Mike M.
Great spot in South Miami/Coral Gables/Pinecrest (I am not sure what city it is actually in since all three converge in that area). The atmosphere is kind of like an upscale deli yet small town eatery. My personal favorite is the turkey and avacado sandwich. Very good spot for family, friends couples, or alone. It is your choice. In my opinion it is a weeknight spot where you go to enjoy yourself without spending too much.
(4)Adrey D.
I really made an effort to like this place but it was hard after being seated next to the kitchen open window and seeing one of the cooks take out his cellphone constantly and touch it and then touch the food NO GLOVES and seeing the trash pass by my table... isn't that some kind of code violation??? (whisk people: why would you put an open window looking into the kitchen? isn't that risking customers coughing inside or hair falling in? the first time I went i liked my salad although the fried chicken was so so but after being seated net to the kitchen im never coming back.
(1)jen r.
it sucks to have to drop whisk down to 3 stars but last night my dining experience left much to be desired. i have always been a huge fan and am recommending whisk left and right even though i hadnt been to the new location. the new south miami location is really nice, probably 5 times larger than the old space, but they still manage a nice home feeling. the service was just alright, we had to ask for water refills and our waiter was not the least bit interested in small talk, mentioning specials, or offering recommendations. we went with 2 specials from the chalk board. the dates/feta entree salad and the veal skirt steak. although they were both entrees we wanted to share them. much to our surprise when the bill came, we got a $1 sharing fee for the salad and a $3 sharing fee for the steak. i was pissed but honestly didnt feel like complaining over 4 bucks. although no where on the menu did i see a sharing fee. and we shared 2 entrees between 2 people, not like we didnt both order something. also, charging $1 for refills is just tacky (its in a really small mason jar btw, so you for sure need a refill, since it is filled to the rim with ice). i hate nickel and diming from restaurants, especially when the entrees are about 15-20 on average. the salad was good but i think it only had 2 dates sliced up. the steak was very bland and nothing special at all. i was disappointed to say the least. im sure i will give it another shot but will stick to the staple salads/sandwiches or friday burgers.
(3)Ximena P.
If you're a sandwich snob, or even just a sandwich enthusiast, you're gonna love this place. It's a hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem with so many delicious combinations to choose from. It's a great place to go with family or friends, but not for an intimate dinner cause it can get a little loud when it gets busy. The fried green tomatoes are a good choice, and so far my favorite sandwich is the Grilled Tuna Salad Avocado Bacon Melt. It fills you up without feeling too heavy afterwards.
(5)Ashley R.
My husband and I went to whisk for date night tonight and it was delicious! I'd been there once and loved it, but this was my husbands first time. We started with the fried green tomatoes (a personal favorite) and the BBQ pork appetizer, which was EXTREMELY good. We split the house greens salad and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken for dinner. It was the perfect amount of food and the buttermilk fried chicken was AMAZING! The service and ambiance was perfect. We'll be back soon.
(5)Brenda B.
I placed an order for pick up (lunch) and although the food was yummy both times - I had the pork burritos the first time and the Low Country Shrimp and Grits the 2nd time - the service was not very good. I was not greeted when I walked through the door and stood around for about 5 minutes before I could get someone's attention to ask where I could pick up my food. Both times they did not include utensils or napkins in my to-go order and the 2nd time they messed up my order and forgot to include dessert I ordered. Not sure what the service is like when you dine in but I wasnt impressed with my experience so far.
(3)Turbo Smurf X.
I have eaten several meals from Whisk always take out. I ventured there for the first time and can't say this will be a regular in my dining rotation. Let's start with the decor. There is nothing to write about. A bar, a picture window of the kitchen. Dark woods and no fancy decor, art work, or unique decorations. If you are seated at the high tops get ready for family style because you are at a large table and the chairs are very close together. On to the food. Everybody said try the pulled pork appetizer its the best. Not so much. The corn bread base (square) fell apart upon cutting. The pulled pork did not have that rich deep taste that smoked (or even slow cooker) pork should have. And there was a taste of the food having been prepared a couple of days ago and this was the left over that I could not shake. The "grilled" tuna salad with bacon sprouts and whatever else was in there was tasty and came cutely presented (wrapped in paper, cut in half, stacked and skewered with a good size vampire stake) on a plate. The bread was tasty, did not get any grill taste from the "grilled" tuna, but the sandwich was good. Pricey, but good. BUT, it came on a plate with the wax paper wrapping and vampire stake and nothing else. Nothing else. For the price, how about a pickle spear, or something more frou frou as an accompaniment or at least for appearance. The company had a salad that seemed substantial and had lots of goat cheese. We ordered the side of chips which are good, but maybe next time the chips good be more full size chips and not chiplets or chips of chip. Kind of hard to get the potato taste from a chip of a chip. Prices are high. Service was ok. The food, except for the pulled pork yuck, was fresh and there were some interesting ideas and menu items. Maybe next time I will have to eat at low rise table.
(3)Jason G.
Whisk is a hidden gem. And by hidden, I really mean hidden. It's tucked away in a strip mall in what has been a catering office. You know by now from the ratings and other reviews that the food is great, really it is. But the hidden gem aspect really brings it down a notch for me. This place seats about 15 people. We were lucky enough to get there right after Noon, but those who got there any later were waiting for a table. And there's not exactly a place to wait so they were essentially standing over all of the other diners. The service was prompt, but I didn't enjoy eating inside a catering office elbow-to-elbow with the other 14 guests. I had a Turkey, Avocado, and Applewood smoked bacon sandwich. It was really great. A huge sandwich with just the right amount of mayo on warm multi-grain bread. My sister had a tuna salad salad, and the tuna was seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of dijon. There's a lot of great food in this town, and plenty of places to get a good salad or sandwich. Until Whisk gets a more proper venue, you might want to choose something else.
(3)Kristina T.
Though it's hidden away from the main drag of South Miami, WHISK continuously pleases the masses. If you are looking for a low-key restaurant with great home-style food, Whisk is a great option. Try their pulled-pork with cornbread or their bacon wrapped dates. Also, their salads are fabulous.
(4)Michael S.
I really want to love this place as much as much as my fellow Yelpers but I can't help but think that the only reason this place is getting such rave reviews is because of the pathetic state of restaurants and food in South Florida. If this were in Brooklyn or Portland or the Bay Area or LA or.... it would maybe rate three stars. This place is a lot like the Buena Vista Bistro. A really good little neighborhood joint. There should be at lease two of these in downtown Coral Gables, four on the Beach, a couple downtown, Morningside, up and down US-1,etc. they should be all over the place. The food is good and solid but not great. I have had several dishes and none were disappointing. I will surely be coming back. What I would really like is to eat like this on a consistent basis any where I am in South Florida, good simple food served well for a reasonable price.
(4)Sebastian R.
Very nice place, food was really good. Very flavorful. My only concern maybe the parking. Would definitely return to try other dishes.
(4)Maite H.
Love love love...can't get enough of the food here. Love their turkey avocado sandwich which is the best I've ever had. Parking can be a pain when the restaurant is busy. Wish it was open on Sundays. Love the cutesy decor inside bulbs hanging from a wire with a whisk looking covering.
(5)John M.
Went at 6:30pm on a Friday now and there was plenty of seating for two to four people. Is a very American and country style place in it's food selection. The water is also served in jars with handles which you would only find at a country place! Pretty good burger and chips. The turkey and cranberry salad was really good too! However, I liked the $10 burger at the FIU food trucks much better.
(4)Mary e.
Oh, the things we do for a good lunch! I parked 5 blocks away because there was nothing closer. Thankfully, it was a beauuuutiful day for walking. Got there and there was a 25 min wait. Yikes! But two spots opened up at the counter and we quickly snagged them. And it was packed! Whisk needs a bigger place! Was it worth it? Oh yeah! I had the scrumptiously delicious tomato bisque and the chicken salad on multigrain. My taste buds were in heaven. My lunch buddy had the blackened fish sandwich. She said it was heavenly too! Leave it to whisk to make your taste buds dance and your heart pitter-patter. I love this place.
(4)Lorely B.
Have come here a few times but i have to rave about today's specials. Arugula and fennel salad was healthy deliciousness and had a little kick to it with the poppy vinaigrette. The Peruvian ceciche was soooo fresh I loved it!!!! Came w a side of fresh plantain chips - beats the bag ones! The shrimp po boy sandwich was SO good you gotta try it! I also hear they're moving to a new location - hope it's bigger!
(5)Jaclyn G.
So, I popped by Whisk for lunch and I.... J*zzed In My Pants. youtube.com/watch?v=4pXf… Andy Samberg and the Lonely Island crew need to hook it up with some seriously absorbant Underoos before visiting this foodgasm inducing restaurant, 'cause things might get...messy. (Or sticky? Too much? Yeah, ok.) But, why? What is it about Whisk that makes a dining experience there result in so many "happy endings?" Is it the crisp *homemade* potato chips with melted parmesan cheese served as an appetizer? Or maybe the scandalously addictive sweet scallion butter served with warm, freshly baked cornbread? Or perhaps it's the mouth-filling gorgonzola stuffed figs, lovingly wrapped in bacon and rolling with wild abandon in its greasy love blanket of fat? And who doesn't dig a love blanket of bacon fat?! If you're a vegetarian/vegan...."C'MON SON!" ( cmonsononline.com ) I bypassed the infamous Friday Blue Burger for some Spicy Steak action - 8 oz of perfectly cooked churrasco marinating in a coconut chili sauce with some delicately sweet jasmine rice and sauteed spinach. A word about the rice: Your (Puerto Rican/Cuban/Columbian/Honduran/Dominican/Japanese/ÂIndian) grandmother doesn't do it better. No one's does. I'm sorry (no, I'm not...), but it's true. Menus are printed everyday to feature a rotating list of spectacular dishes made with ingredients that are fresh and available that day. Gotta love that philosophy. Then, what's the deal with 4 stars versus the almighty 5? Although the actual restaurant space is quite nice - very warm, welcoming, and features a kickin' view of their open kitchen - the parking situation literally makes me want to take the eponymous "whisk" and beat the nearest meter maid vehicle (admittedly, I'm probably not gettin' very far with that). The lot at Whisk is infinitesimally small. And don't even THINK about parking in the Ace Hardware mall - I spotted a "hard at work" rent-a-cop patrolling the area with cell phone in hand, watching patrons leave their car, and calling the tow company if they didn't use one of the shops designated for that lot. You've been warned. But enough about THAT... get yourself to Whisk and order every frickin' thing on the menu. You can't go wrong. And pack a pair of those absorbant Underoos. You'll thank me after that first bite.

I'll pop the Yelp bukakke cherry on you for this joint. Knowing half the owners and the many ex-pats from Tarpon Bend, many of the kitchen staff were old friends. Still, wasn't expecting such a nice sit down atmosphere. More so a quick service place, simply figuring the congested South Miami streets location would negate any ample available parking for lots of tables. Instead, Whisk comes off as a (positive) condensed version of a Miracle Mile restaurant. Mahogany wood decor, "whisk" shaped hanging lights, high tops with community seating, creating a great communal atmosphere. The bar encompasses the entire main section, without taking over the surrounding seating area. Now onto the actual reason to come. Fried Green Tomatoes - Blackened Grouper Sandwich - Key Lime Pie. Every single one of those were the best versions I've ever had. And this is a guy who's seen his share of thirty pounds gained (now lost - fatty!) from all different kinds of key lime pie. Thrown in the bar has a great beer list - ordered a Triple Karmeliet, and if we still lived in Miami, this would be a bi-monthly visit. Let me go get you a towel for that bukakke.

Shrimp and Grits was outstanding! Can't wait to go back for more.

So I've heard so much about this place from all my fellow Yelpers and I was a little hesitant about going because I was afraid of being disappointed after all the hype. My dear friend Jacobo told us he was going last Friday and demanded that we went for the Friday specialty burgers, so we went. It was a bit hard to find parking, it was a little tight, so if you come, I would suggest you park on 72nd and walk on over. As I walked in, I saw a huge table of Yelpers so I swooped over to say hello. There was one seat left and Maria asked me to join them. I was waiting for Christian to park the car and for Jacobo and other friends to arrive, so I sat with them while I waited. Obviously we all weren't going to fit at the Yelp table, so I asked the server, Luana, if we could get a table nearby. Luana was so accommodating and checked with the hostess to see if we could get the table closest to where we were. Luana came back right away with menus to sit us at our table. Since all I kept hearing about the burgers, I decided to order one. The special of the day was the beef burger with Gorgonzola cheese, caramelized onions and bacon. I ordered a side salad with it as well vs. the chips. I was so hungry and when my food came out, it looked and smelled spectacular. The burger was huge, but I ate the hole thing. One word...YYYYYUUUUUUUMMMMMMM!!!!!!! It totally hit the spot. It was filling and needless to say, I didn't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day...except the Key Lime Pie I ordered. I did split it with someone else though. The key lime pie was perfectly tart and sweet. It is served with a few raspberries and whip cream. The raspberries were a nice taste to it as it kind of toned down the tartness a little. The restaurant itself is large and clean, plenty of tables. There is a bar and from what I heard they will be having full bar service soon. They will also be having more choices in the dessert menu, pies, cakes, cupcakes, etc. If you sit in anyone's section, ask for Luana. She provided the best customer service I have had in a very long time. Thank you Jacobo for hyping it up for us and telling us about the Burger Fridays. Thank you Whisk for such an awesome burger, and thanks Luana for being such a great server.

Really great food and a friendly staff! I've never had to wait for a seat. It's casual, but still has a nice feel to it. Only downside is limited parking and no outdoor seating. Still a great place for lunch or dinner!

Burrito=amazing but delivery time=suck We did some delivery for the office one day and Whisk was the winner. After looking over the menu burrito was the way to go. When the order came almost an hour after the 45mins that they told us, food was lukewarm at best. My order came with Two huge pork burritos filled with rice and beans and yummyness. Since i guess mine was wrapped up it was still pretty warm, and the flavor was just great. I cant wait to actually go try them in person. I've heard only great things about Friday Specials :-)

Came here for dinner on a Saturday. We didn't have trouble with parking and we didn't have to wait too long before we got a table. Fried green tomatoes were tasty - although I have a sneaky suspicion anything with that homemade buttermilk sauce would be tasty. Their steak sandwich was cooked to perfection. I wish I had room to try dessert, but I'll definitely be back.

Whoa, what happened, Whisk? I'm so torn. You moved to a new spot, and let me and my girlfriend down big time tonight. We'll start with the hostess who was kind of lost in space. She told us the wait would be something around 20 minutes, where it was more like 40-50 minutes. There were about three open tables, though... Anyway, someone decided that the restaurant should include reservations, which is a huge fail, in my opinion. I'm no professional restaurant manager, or anything, but doesn't it make sense to have a first come first served since you have an extremely small space? Also, IF you're gonna have reservations, don't put together two four-person tables for eight people (like they did tonight), seat them in the 'first come, first serve' high-tops that you're offering me! Well, on to the other errors of the evening. We're finally seated and it takes a few minutes to get our water and order taken. Only two servers and a busboy seem to be working. Also, no complimentary house chips, bread, or anything? I never expected it at the previous location, because it was mostly a lunch spot, but now this is a full fledged restaurant, charging pretty ridiculous prices for their dishes, and there is no complimentary anything. Our appetizers were the only reason this place doesn't get one star. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and delicious, and the sauce served with them is out of this world. The tomato bisque soup was also very tasty. I then ordered the Cumin Dusted Grilled Chicken, which includes Jasmine Rice, Black Beans, Sliced Avocado, Pico de Gallo & Herb Salad ($13.95). I kindly ask that the black beans be on the side. Well, that didn't happen. Right over my rice, and a ton of it, might I add. I sat there waiting for my server, but he seemed to be too busy discussing wines or something at another table for a long time. No one else ever came by, so I just ate the chicken, which was more like Cumin Pasted than 'Dusted'. The overwhelming amount of cumin was insane (not in a good way). The avocado and salad were pretty good (they also forgot the supposed Pico de Gallo). Finally the server came and saw the beans on the plate. He apologized, but didn't ask if I wanted rice or something else on the house. He did come over with a non- fudge brownie (called a blondie), which was pretty good. He apologized and said the brownie was on him. The "dessert" was a bit stale and whoever was baking it left a chunk of wax paper stuck on the bottom, which was difficult to remove. Still, I was left with no rice or potatoes to eat my food with. That is fail #3 in my book. We got to the place at 6 and ended up leaving around 8:30. Two and a half hours wasted on one of my worst restaurant experiences of all time (of all time). I've never been to a place that I used to love which completely turned me off from any future visits. I might give it one more chance, but that'll only be during lunch, if the parking lot is empty, which is another ridiculous thing. If you're looking to move to a bigger place, and parking used to be an issue at your previous location, search for a place with BETTER PARKING. Alright, I'm done. Worst $40+ dinner ever.

Excellent food! Parking was a bit challenging but worth having a little patience. Juevos rancheros was the best ever. Vegetable quiche was very tasty and the salad with arugula, shaved Parmesan, roasted corn with polenta fritters was amazing. Only wish we had one in Boca.

For a hipstery new american place, Whisk has pretty good food for not too much money, though the consensus was our appetizers (bacon-wrapped cheese, cornbread, fried green tomatoes with buttermilk sauce) were better than the entrées. I got the spicy seared beef, which was perfectly cooked, but the sandwiches ordered by others in my group were merely average. Good wine list too. The atmosphere was too self-consciously rustic to take seriously, with water served in glass jars and other things looking like they were purchased at a Cracker Barrel Country Store. Also pretty crowded for a weeknight. Parking was a pain as well, and we ended up with a big ol' "Violation" sticker for parking at a strip mall down the street (though no ticket, so joke's on them.)
(4)Elias G.
Wow, I can't believe I haven't reviewed Whisk! I've been to Whisk twice; once at the original location and once at the new location. What stopped us from going to Whisk more often was the original location and the lack of weekend hours. The new location offers better parking and now they're open on weekends! I'm a huge fan of big gourmet burgers, and Whisk has me sold with their Friday burger specials. Luckily, both times I've had lunch there they had a burger special that was right up my alley. My wife is a huge fan of their chicken salad sandwich. My mom likes the fish sandwich, which is pretty good, too. Next time I go, if it's not Friday, or it's not a burger I'm feeling, the roast beef sandwich sounds pretty awesome. The only downside is that even though the new location has good parking, they're always packed (good for Whisk!) and you sometimes have to circle-around a few times or park a block away. South Miami's very small, and I don't mind walking, so it's no big deal; it happens when going to almost any other restaurant in SoMi anyway. I look forward to reading each week's burger special every Friday and can't wait to go back.
(5)Elle K.
Whisk is a great place for a weeknight dinner when you do not feel like cooking. The staff is very nice and the communal tables make for great conversation and fun meal. I recommend the fried green tomato sandwich with a side of spinach and mushrooms or the roasted potatoes. Try the key lime pie and be prepared to share.
(3)Jaclyn F.
This place was amazing! Everything on the yelp reviews I read was true. The Fried green tomatoes were great and I hate the fried chicken salad for dinner which was good too. Everything was reasonably priced and the portions were good. We were very impressed by our service. Needless to say, we will be coming back.
(4)Cristy M.
WoW!! Awesome. Period.
(5)Joaquin R.
Very disappointed. The food was mediocre at best. Also, I wasnt too pleased with them charging $1.00-$3.00 extra if you are splitting a sandwich or an entree. Customers service was okay and the decor was nice. Parking is terrible.

I came to Whisk tonight with the BF, and it was a HOT MESS. For some reason they take reservations now, which is very odd for a restaurant of their size. Sure, they're in a new space that isn't the size of a cubicle, but the restaurant isn't big enough to keep people waiting and three precious tables empty. So, after being told the wait would be 20 minutes (which was a lie) we stood around awkwardly until we finally got seated. They took our order pretty quickly and 5 minutes later I'm informed that they've run out of mashed potatoes, and that they would be replaced with roasted potatoes. Don't know how you can run out of mashed potatoes, nor do I know why I wasn't told when I first ordered (I LOVE mashed potatoes and it was a selling point for the dish I ordered). The BF ordered a dish that came with rice and beans. He asked that the beans come on the side. They didn't. Also, our main dishes took FOREVER to come out. The service wasn't great. There were only two waiters for the entire place and although our guy was nice, it just was too little too late. He did bring us a blondie to make up for the rice and bean scenario, but even that had paper stuck to it. They just were all over the place tonight. The parking still sucks. People still block cars in for some reason too. Must be a Whisk thing. Only reason this is a two star is because their fried green tomatoes continue to rock my world. Their tomato bisque was also pretty tasty. Maybe they were having an off night, but they need to get it together.
(2)Marquis M.
Every time we have a visitor or a special occassion we come here, not because it's particularly fancy or trendy but because the food is so good. It is a trendy atmosphere but the food is just the best in the area. Every meal we have ever ordered has been absolutely delicious. My favorite is the grilled veggie sandwich and the herb salad. Of course, my boyfriend loves the mahi sandwich. My parents loved the entrees, and everyone loves the fried green tomatoes and potato chips. The oreo cupcake was like crack.... It's a MUST.
(5)Christine S.
You'll always get a great meal at Whisk - from the appetizer's -bacon wrapped dates-to the fried chicken salad, unique sandwiches... to the amazing entries....always busy....always friendly...a great local place...go early to plan for parking and closed on Sundays. You wont' be disappointed!
(4)Oscar M.
Definitely a great place. Parking is extremely limited, so keep that in mind. I live in the area so next time I will definitely walk over instead. But besides that, the atmosphere is very casual and the food is delicious (the WHISK Burrito is a definite favorite). Staff is also great and attentive. If you're a SoMi resident, this should definitely be a place to check out.
(4)Juddy V.
Great place. I went here after a movie with my parents we all had sandwiches and chips and they were very good. Or waitress (Alexandria?) had a great personality and mad a really good experience GREAT! I can't wait to go back again.
(5)Ikira D.
About to try the fantabulous black and blue burger for the first time! I tried it and I LOVED IT! I'm picky with burgers because my dad makes the best burgers in all of MIA.... he's been de-throned. The black and blue has a wonderful balance of sweet and savory. The beef was cooked perfectly... medium rare is my preference. The Gorgonzola, bacon and sweet onion jam crowned the burger perfectly in balance and harmony on a wonderful brioche bun. They only have them on Friday's... and this was an incredible meal to say goodbye to 2010 with. You can order chips or salad with your burger.... I decided to go all out with the chips and I was glad I did. They were also phenomenal! Freshly made, thin and with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. They even had a sweetness to them that was complimented by the cheese. Everyone cleaned their plates and enjoyed wonderful desserts... Most of us ordered and absolutely LOVED the key lime pie... I will be a returning customer!
(5)Pat M.
Insane! Insanely good I tells ya'! This place might just have the best food in Miami. No joke. We started off with an order of hummus and chips. It was so good I'm convinced they flew it in from the middle east or they have a dedicated bedouin in the back cranking it out. As a purist I insist Po'boys should only be served on hoagie rolls and not kaiser rolls, but the shrimp in mine were so good I forgot about all that. The wife had a salad that had her rolling her eyes (I haven't been able to get her to do that in years!). Went back for Valentine's, but this time at their new location in Sunset Place. Got a communal table next to the open kitchen, which proved to be the best table in the house. Started off with the house potato chips, which truth be told, were unimpressive. However, the aged cheddar and parmesan pimento cheese spread made me forget about all that. The Spicy Seared Beef with garlic chili coconut sauce was ridiculously good, and I appreciate a dish prepared with so much care. The kitchen show was worth the price of admission. The energy and sights only added to the great experience. Food this good (and photogenic) isn't easily found in Miami. This is the kind of joint I'd expect to find somewhere in SF's Fisherman's Wharf. And I can tell you the last time I was there I wish I had found something like this. Looking through the pics that've been posted here is like looking thru Gourmet magazine's greatest hits. My only criticism would be the ludicrous parking situation. I need to get back there for Burger Friday. I'll be sure to bring a change of underwear.
(5)Javier M.
Amazing flavors all the way from the fried green tomatoes to the Irish car bomb cake. A must visit small hip place.
(5)Eddy A.
Whisk is in a new place. They're open later hours and they're open on the weekends. HUZZAH! the new digs are minimalistic with a touch of that Californian wine valley vibe. The food is excellent as always and if you're lucky you just might get a table right in front of the chef himself. Even have a quick chat with him! Reservations are limited to large parties right now, and parking is still a drag but its way loads better than before. Come here for kunch or dinner, but be sure to come on fridays for the whisk burger special. Undoubtedly THE best burger in miami!
(5)Juan N.
Great restaurant that routinely has a variety of specials and different types of dishes, however it still maintains some southern inspired dishes throughout the menu. Everything is delicious. The Carolina BBQ sauce on the cornbread and pulled pork is great, as is the entire dish. I usually get the burrito which is also really good. Excellent service and friendly servers. The restaurant's popularity is bigger than the size of the actual restaurant so it can be difficult to get a table at times. If you have trouble finding a table you can just do take out, which is a very popular option at the restaurant. One of the things I like about Whisk is that they update their menu daily so that you can see the specials online. The other thing I like is how they constantly are adding new items to the menu.
(4)Gregory N.
Whisk is a near perfect example of the type of neighborhood restaurant that one could become a regular and also be proud to show off to out of town guests. The food is somewhat creative, Charleston low country influence. The decor is not over designed or pretentious, but simple and tasteful. The service is unfailing. I had the fried chicken breast, pretty good. Smashed potatoes, not too bad. And kale as the sauteed vegetable, well I would've liked almost any other vegetable, okra, green beans, lima beans, spinach, anthing else. Parking is a bit difficult for some reason, lots of cars parked on the street and in the lot, but virtually nothing else around is open. Mysterious. This place is highly recommended for couples, groups or eating alone at the bar.
(4)AmongTheStar S.
Whisk is one of the few places in Miami that offers what I like to call "clean cuisine". Everything tastes fresh, and doesn't boast the boring overdone tastes and flavors of the disgusting chain restaurants Miami is used to. Because of the chain restaurants Miami seems to cater to, my husband and I have had a hard time finding somewhere that is unique, different, and consistently delicious. We come here at least twice a month and have yet to ever have a bad experience. Each time the waiters are more and more knowledgeable of the menu, and always enthusiastic about the daily offerings of the chef. As for other negative reviews, every restaurant is allowed a bad day. It happens. To expect absolute perfection catered to every person's specific set of standards is unrealistic. Most people we've found in Miami are extremely picky, then settle for uninspired and unoriginal options such as fettuccini alfredo. For these people, anything different isn't welcomed warmly. Hopefully Whisk forges ahead in helping to set the standard for a change of scenery in Miami's restaurants.
(5)Jen H.
I came here for burger Friday because my bf lovessss burgers. After looking for parking for 15 minutes, we finally found a spot right in front. My bf loved the burger and I thought it was good, which is a major feat because I don't like burgers. I could tell that this was a high quality, juicy burger, with a lot of flavor and not that dead cow taste I find in other burgers. The lemonade was also yummy. It is a little weird to eat there though because its so small, it feels like you're eating in someone's kitchen.
(4)Elizabeth T.
If you're looking for delicious and fresh takes on classic salads and sandwiches, this is the place to go. I had always heard about the yummy goodness that is Whisk when it was at its old location, but (if I'm being honest), I never felt like braving the crowds required for lunch. But now, Whisk is bigger, brighter, and even better tasting (what I've heard from others - as I said, I've only ever eaten at the new location). It's a trendy, modern atmosphere while simultaneously retaining a cozy, homey feeling. The openness makes for an enjoyable atmosphere, even during the busiest of times. I love sitting at the long tables - they're right next to the kitchen, so you can peek in at the operation, but the communal aspect lets me reminisce back to elementary school. My favorite item on the menu is the Charleston Chicken Salad sandwich. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a refreshing (yet surprisingly filling) lunch option, while still minimizing the budget but maximizing the flavor!
(5)Bob G.
Whisk has long been the place to wish you could visit for a meal. Their old location had no parking and limited space, but developed a fanatical following nonetheless (my sister has been raving about if forever, as have a number of friends). The eatery has just opened in a new location in South Miami that should satisfy some of the critics of the limits of the old. Their public opening happened on Thursday. By 3pm, they had hit almost 200 covers; the staff seemed to have reached that strange state of elation and exhaustion that comes from unexpected, overwhelming success. My group visited on Friday for a lunch to celebrate my son's recent engagement, with very pleasant results. The restaurant offers both traditional tables, and two long "communal" tables butting up to the open kitchen. Each table seats 12, and offers those closest a view of the controlled chaos of a working kitchen. These tables are tall (like gathering tables) so diners are elevated above the rest of the room. Our party of 6.5 people (one person didn't show), we sat in a small semiprivate room off to the side. It afforded some intimacy without feeling as if you were walled off from the activity of the main room. The staff was gracious and attentive. The menus are printed daily, with a changing set of specials. Friday, as we discovered is burger day; no one ordered that dish, but we could see several coming out of the kitchen for other diners; as a burger fan, I will be back in the near future to see if the flavor lives up to the presentation. We ordered several appetizers: the hummus is freshly made, and topped with a salsa-like dollop of fresh tomatoes and herbs. The flavor was deep and rich, and nicely framed by the dressing. The chips were also thin and crisp, and framed, rather than overwhelmed, the hummus. The star, though, were the fried green tomatoes. The flavor was great - the batter that coated and the delicate flavor of the tomatoes complimented each other quite nicely. This dish is accompanied by a Herb Buttermilk dressing that was just a tiny bit thin for dipping ,but that did work well with the tomatoes. My only complaint is that the batter felt a bit thick, and as the tomatoes cooled, gained a slight oily taste. The table ordered a variety of sandwiches and salads; there were no complaints (and little talking when the food arrived), with dishes cleaned by all. My dish was a skirt steak salad. I expected a salad with the steak strips cut into the salad, but Whisk plates this with the steak nicely sliced and layered on the side, with the salad nicely arranged in a tower beside. This worked out well, as I didn't have to battle the lettuce for a bite of succulent beef. The salad came with macerated grape tomatoes that were just delicious (macerating differs from marinating in that the object - tomatoes in this case - are soaked in a sweet liquid rather than an acidic one). The only negative was the noise level. The space is not large, with concrete floors and no real sound-absorbing material. When we arrived there were only a few diners, but by the time we were done, the restaurant was packed and it was hard to hear. Hopefully some wall hangings or ceiling panels will make their way into the space to tone down the volume. Overall, we enjoyed the experience, and - given that my office is right across the street - will become regulars (especially on burger Fridays!). Now, a note about parking.... for Whisk, the location allows them to expand their seating to accommodate their fans. Limited parking is available in front of the restaurant (about 12 spaces). There is some parking along the East side of 56th Avenue, and almost unlimited parking available two blocks to the West, in the parking garage adjacent to Town, the public lot one block west, as well as in Sunset Place and in the South Miami Municipal Garage. There are also spaces along Sunset, East of Red as well as on Red Road itself. I suspect you could even take advantage of the valet parking at the intersection of 56th and Sunset. The problem is getting from the off-site parking spaces to Whisk. I am not sure why the City of South Miami hasn't made this area more pedestrian friendly, or why the merchants don't raise a stink about the lack of sidewalks or public passages. If you park West of Red, the best way to get to the Restaurant is by walking on 74th St by the Chevron station, then North on 56th to Whisk. And hey - after a great meal, a little exercise is a good thing!

Whisk is that restaurant you can take ownership of and call it your spot. The food is amazing and the staff is excellent. I've been using Whisk as a way to show my staff that I appreciate them... For young college kids, they work really hard and are extremely responsible. So, I started treating them to lunch there because the food is soooo yummy and they appreciate it soooooo much... Now they all look forward to going. I especially love taking them on BURGER FRIDAYS!!! Bottomline: Delicious Food + Pleasing Aesthetics + Friendly Staff = An Amazing Experience =) My Tip: Get a side of cranberry mayo for your chips. YUMS!
(5)Emily P.
Possibly my favorite restaurant in Miami. I was a little sad that they moved, but only because it is a farther drive now, but I will take a longer drive over their much improved hours of operation. My two favorites are the turkey with cranberry mayo and brie sandwich and the skirt steak sandwich with blue cheese and onion compote. The potato chips with parmesan are also yummy tho I preferred when they used the smaller potatoes to make them. Every time I go I am always tempted by something on the menu, one of these days I really want to try that fried chicken salad, but I tend to order what I already know and love. Luckily with the new hours I can have many more opportunities to try something new. The parking does still suck tho despite the extra spots :(
(5)judy n.
Wow. There's not much more to be said. After all the other Stellar reviews, I HAD To come try this place out. Bacon wrapped gorgonzola stuffed dates - great mix of sweet and savory The Fried green tomato sandwich was AWESOME! Roast turkey and brie sandwich - the brie MADE the sandwich. Why hasn't anyone else ever thought of that? Fingerling potato chips - mm! Key Lime Pie - fresh and light, and not too tart- Just Right! The pulled pork burrito was alright... i'd easily come back for more of the above things. With the very reasonable prices, awesome service.... you don't have a reason not to try this place.
(5)Michael B.
Well, it's everything I thought it could be and hoped it would be!! After knowing of their existence for about a year now and hearing all the hype for months and months, I finally made it out to Whisk last night and it was just scrumptious!! We started with my favorite appetizer in the world...bacon wrapped dates...and let me just tell you...they are nothing short of divine. I had the Spicy Seared Beef Churrasco. I'm not even a huge fan on churassco and it was amazingly delicious and came in a coconut chili sauce...holy shit! I tried what else was ordered at my table...the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad and the Pork Burrito. They were both fresh, full of flavor and perfect. The chicken was some of the freshest and best fried chicken I have ever had and the burrito was perfectly flavorful. The prices here are quite reasonable, especially the sandwiches that are mostly in the $8.95 range. The service was attentive and friendly and the experience was overwhelmingly great. If haven't been yet, you must add this to your short list if places to try.
(5)Michael R.
Hands down, the best food for your buck in South Miami. The pulled pork burritos and fried green tomatoes are CRAZY GOOD!!! The reason for a missing star ... the parking is HORRIBLE!
(4)Ryan M.
I had the burritos and they was good. It didn't blow my skirt up but I would certainly go back and be open to adjust my rating upon trying other things.The pulled pork could have been more tender/juicy. Whisk makes an attempt at being a good new southern cuisine restaurant but falls short in my opinion. The menu was a little all over the place, and I think if they concentrated on fewer items, they would be able to make those items better. The beer list was also very limited, and needs to be expanded.
(3)Larry B.
For starters, WHISK is a little hole in the wall. It seats approximately 70 patrons but beware: This little place is packed with flavor! From the outside you do not think much of it but once you set foot inside you are just amazed! The light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are whisks!! LOL. The decor is very homey and country-ish with a hint of modern.. all intertwined. TIP: GET THERE EARLY BECAUSE IT GETS FULL VERY QUICK. Today was my first time at Whisk and I had the Blackened Grouper Sandwich and oh my! It was delish!!! Wait... no! IT WAS DELISH!!! There! It was extremely flavorful. I took my firs bite and... I WAS HOOKED. I kept on biting it and the more I bit into it the more flavor I savored. It was juicy, spicy, and... oh well you get the picture! :) I also tried the Fried Green Tomatoes..... SUPERB! I will definitely be going back. I want to try everything there is on the menu. If you have never been to Whisk... GET IT MOVING! You will NOT regret it.
(5)Hannah S.
Whisk has its own particular charm. I went there for the first time about 9 months ago, and while I definitely enjoyed it, I wasn't head over heels. I'd been meaning to go back, but I rarely do lunch during the week, so it wasn't until today that I was able to return, with my mom in tow (I knew she'd love it!). This place is tiny - as everyone is aware. They've moving soon, however, to South Miami, to a 75 seat restaurant. Should make a world of difference. The small factor is ok, it's just that parking is extremely limited as is seating. But like I said - it has a particular charm, part of which is due to its teeny tiny size. Today I had a blackened tripletail sandwich with herb salad, and the mom had the grilled tuna. My sandwich was very tasty, and the bread was warm and definitely some of the best I've ever tasted. Nice little salad too. Mom definitely dug her sandwich as well. Presentation can't be beat, too - very picturesque. All in all, a very sweet little place. Not necessarily the best sandwich I've ever had, as I've heard many people say, but tasty nonetheless, and I'll return for sure. I think my favorite part might be the mason jar glasses - toooo adorable!
(4)Jenna M.
I've been wondering what all the rave was about so I had to go when I realized they moved to South Miami. Lunch was delicious. The place has a really clean feel and was super busy. I had a hummus and avocado sandwich that was perfect. They did not skimp on the avocado. And an update for Maria's last review: they now have beer and wine ready to serve.
(5)Claudia A.
Comfortable little place with great beer and food. The menu items sound simple, but they are far from in flavor. The fried green tomatoes are a must, and the burrito is one of my favorites. There can be a wait sometimes, and the bar is small. The table service staff is knowledgeable and pleasant, but it can be hit or miss in terms of timing.
(4)Jordan N.
Locals sometime have the yearning to get away from Miami. The Latin-throbbing, car-clogging, heat-stifling, line-backing, rule-breaking Miami.... Yes, there's a time when I just want to go someplace small and feel like I'm in another world with no counter-competition with number-toting customers waiting for their turn. Heck, I just wanted to go someplace where I could just sit and a friendly waitress with a dirty apron would come up to me and ask what I would like, with no-one clamoring for her attention. That's what you get here in the three-tables catering company serving good organic and healthy food for surprisingly reasonable prices by the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables. You won't get any of that shock as you would if you had dined elsewhere in this part of Miami, especially for the yummy food you can get here. The waitress made good recommendations, and I've tried two of the three and although parts of the menu really changes daily, the two items were the spicy Chipotle BBQ Burger & Dry Marinated Skirt Steak. The key lime pie dessert was just right in my book - not too sweet, but creamy with a nice subtle flavor. The side that was shared as an appetizer was the homemade potato chips - which I must say was fluffy and tasty. The only thing I didn't really enjoy was the noise the wicker chairs make - but it does help make for a homey atmosphere. That being said... Thanks for making me feel at home.

So I'm here ... Trying to enjoy a dinner with my friends on my night off ..so we came to whisk in south Miami ... ( wa wa ) so my first impression I get to the table to find " bacon wrapped dates "? That, just like all the food here ... Falls apart and under cooked ... My server was too busy flirting with hostess who obviously was actually doing her job ... While our water stayed empty ... No beverage was offered replaced ... Then my food was never rang in because like a happy puppy dog I chose the beer he recommended ... And he never rang it in the food with it ...After 30 minutes ... He must of rang it up on the fly ... my BBQ chicken n corn bread 40 minutes now comes out cold ... No manager ever came by the table ... And a what seemed to be the chef ... Ran through the floor ... This place was a huge disappointment ... Coming from an industry guy too ... Sad to say but ... I'll never come back . ... P.s bread pudding sucks too... Plus after everything he effs up my credit card payment ... This guy might as well be a south Miami meter maid it suits him...

So I'm forver in love (insert hearts here) my hidden gem. This is such a cool and healthy place to eat. It's also vegetarian friendly which is why I'm so excited. I struggle finding places that claim they're vegetarian friendly but only offer, HOUSE SALADS -_- I had the hummus and avocado sandwich on multigrain bread with homemade chips sans the shredded cheese. I then washed it down with homemade lemonade & a brownie- shhh! Next time I'll try the mahi sandwich (yes, I eat fish). I don't why this place reminds me of Key West, it has that old comfy southern feeling. It's a 'lil messy during peak time but still clean. Don't attempt to walk in here with a party of 5 and expect to be seated right away lol! I always see big groups standing outside waiting while I walk pass them and park myself right @ the bar :p I would give WHISK 5 stars, but the parking situation is just rude.

Friday Burger!!

I have to say, this place has its charm. Though, it's quite small, the wait may be long, the food is well worth the wait. The ambiance is warm, waiters and hostesses are nice. I recommend eating at this place!

Very good. The only problem they are closed on sundays :(

I'd give this place 5 stars but it's way too small and cramped to be 100% satisfied. WIth that said, the food is FIVE STARS. I'm utterly obsessed with their fried green tomato sandwich loaded with bacon and mayo. During my pregnancy, I ate it on a weekly basis (thus the 35 pound weight gain) and now that I am no longer pregnant, I get the greid green tomato salad with buttermilk dressing, which is delish. The cookies here are homemade and not to be missed. And for all you Misha's Cupcakes fans, Whisk serves them up. I hear they are moving...thank goodness! With such a huge foodie fan base, Whisk is in dire need of bigger digs.

the cravings i get for "Burger Fridays" at whisk can only be equaled to those cravings a pregnant woman gets during the third trimester...or so I figure...actually, in the case of "burger fridays" i am more like a crack addict who cant get the fix as often as he wants. A couple of weeks ago I found myself wishing that the unveiling of whisk 2 would put an end to the silly Friday restrictions; are they looking out for my cholesterol? are these special cows that can only be sacrificed on Fridays? Whats the deal? The best thing you make and its available once a week? Is it a restaurant psycho trick: "give it to them once a week, and they will come". the deal is that I get the burger itch about once a week, and it does not necessarily fall on fridays, so I end up settling for a much less satisfying burger. Anyways, the new whisk has much better seating, look, and parking; the food is just as good as before, did I say they have parking, they also have a bar, with a friendly bartender. Now if only they found cows they could sacrifice on a daily basis!!

Honestly, no offense, but I thought this place would be a little better. Granted, we went when it had only been open for just a few weeks, but still. No liquor/wine/beer license, slow wait staff, and slow service in general. I ordered the Fresh Grilled Tuna Salad, which I must admit was very good. I suspect it may have had an excess of mayonnaise in it, which is probably what made it good. But regardless, good. Friends and I ordered the hummus as an appetizer, but had to ask for more chips as there was tons more hummus than there were chips. For dessert, we had key lime pie and a white brownie, but they came like 20 minutes apart! First the brownie, then the key lime pie forever later, ridiculous! The waiter was OK, but screwed up the check and didn't seem to have his business together. We had to ask for cokes and refills more than once, which is in my book unacceptable. Room for improvement is my review.

Solid 4 stars. Considering their floors are sealed cement, I almost busted my ass because it was so slippery...parking was kinda a hassle, so I wasn't too optimistic, BUT the reviews were stating otherwise. We walk in, and I'm instantly in love with the decor. So cute. We're seated promptly and given menus - I wasn't really feeling it, but then we ordered. We had the cheddat & parmesan pimento cheese & the cornbread to start. Omg. Already off to a great start. The cheese was so rich, and the toast it came with was a perfect match. Cornbread? Pretty dense, but so good. The richness of the cheese (something we don't normally eat anyway) was a bit much to have a second appetizer with it. Had we known it would've been so good and filling, we wouldn't have ordered the cornbread. Either way, yummy. The boyfriend ordered a BLT with avocado, and I had the grilled veggie sandwich. Judging by the fact that the menu has the words "Splitting fee: $1.00" almost everywhere I looked, I figured that the servings were huge. They were. (currently eating the other half of my sandwich for lunch...) Service was quick, attentive, and knowledgeable. I ended up loving it and found things I wanna try for next time we go! If I weren't a pescetarian, I would have been alllll over those gorgonzola stuffed, bacon wrapped dates. They looked amazing going by...omg. Excellent work, Whisk. *Only other downside? It was a little too loud for our taste... :/

New location same great food...and more: dinner! Congratulations to the new location opened just in time for the end of year holiday season and a fresh start into the New Year. I much like the community high top tables and the open kitchen. Whisk now can finally sit and host all of the people that have discovered them over the years and encourages slow food and conversation. The décor is held clean and functional, staff is very attentive and as already noted, the food is great. I will have to go back for diner sometime soon, in the meantime I can still recommend my favorite: Lechon Burritos! My one drawback is that the place gets pretty loud when full (full being a good, no great thing) but I know that will be tackled with some artwork soon ;)
(5)Liz T.
Drove past this spot two times, super hard to see the sign and we went for lunch so it was bright outside too! They had pretty good food, nice and fresh. Had the burger, bacon wrapped dates (delish), and bf had the turkey sand, other friend had the burger. The Whisk is actually a cater company, so the 'restaurant' is quite small and there is limited seating and parking...but it's nice to go here for lunch and for those that want to order their catered food; you can taste a variety of what the chef has to offer. This place is similar to many restaurants in LA very cute cafe-like, with fresh healthy options.

I don't know if it was the incredible fried green tomatoes, or the shrimp n grits, or the delightful tiramisu, or the company but whatever it was it's a must must must return!!!! Wooooowwww beautiful little place in south Miami with one of a kind gourmet southern food. I loved that the kitchen its open so you can smell the food being cooked yuummmm. I was so intoxicated with the wonderful aromas coming out of the kitchen that by the time the food got there I would have eaten the entire menu. I also liked the pub style tables , different but cute. If you go for lunch during weekdays get there before 12 noon or you'll wait for ever. I had to take away one star becaaaauuuassee..... Told the hostess : table for 2 and..... she wouldn't sit us because my friend was still parking . So I said: " my friend is parking she is right outside " , and she said : noooo we have to wait for the full party to be here. Ooookkk there was like 50 tables available and only like 4 or 5 costumers in there, I mean I would understand if the place was jumping with costumers and they needed to sit people right away. But seriously that was a little tooooo much, I mean there were maybe 4 occupied tables. Back to the food : heeeeaaaaavvvvveeeeennnn . Fresh , tasty, perfect amount of seasoning on my steak,really good portions, and dessert (sigh)oh man oh man probably the best tiramisu I have ever had. Service was great, our waiter (who's name I forgot) was very helpful. I can't wait to come back. Make sure you try the shrimp and grits.

Whisk, where have you been all my life?? After hearing everyone rave about Whisk, Zac and I decided to try the infamous burgers one Friday evening. We barely found parking in the small plaza where Whisk is situated. Whisk was full of people. Luckily we were able to find a table to sit in. We went all out at Whisk, trying an appetizer of hummus. DELISH!!! Then came the burger and chips, a medium-rare cheddar and ranch mouthwatering piece of heaven!! The chips had Parmesan cheese bits on them. For dessert, we ordered a brownie which was good. The service was spectacular and fast. This is what other restaurants should model their service after. I also loved the quaint look of the place, making the customer feel as they are enjoying their meal in the comfort of their own home. This is hands-down the best burger I have ever had!
(5)Stephanie L.
I think the food here is phenomenal. I only gave it 4 stars because it can be hit or miss. Some of the dishes are really really impressive, like the Fried Green Tomato Burger, but others are kind of bleh. I had a spicy coconut steak with spinach and rice. The taste was great. In the end though I felt like the sauce was way too heavy and didn't feel so good after. I've heard from a few people that what they ordered was amazing, and most of what I've tried has been. But like I said, it can be hit or miss and it's hard to order a $12 sandwich you don't like. It's also SUPER tiny and crowded. On one hand it adds to the charm of this place -- you feel like you are in someone's house and that's great with the comfort food they have to offer. Also there are communal tables where you sit with strangers, which I think is kind of cool. However, you are scrunched in there because there isn't enough space for everyone and I was really uncomfortable. I recommend everyone to try it out and see how you feel about it. Especially for burger fridays!

I'm still dreaming about their fried green tomatoes. I went on Burger Friday with some friends and we had: -Fried Green Tomato burger with those crispy little chips: One of the BEST burgers I've EVER had. -Tuna Sandwich: Extremely fresh, my friend kept telling me how it was one of the best she's ever had. -Pulled Pork Burrito: It was an explosion of flavors in my mouth, my friend had to pull it away after I tried a bite. The portions were large (everyone had to take some home and we were too full for the delicious looking dessert .) The service is extremely friendly and for what you get this place is super cheap. Two small things that bother me are 1. there is usually a wait because the seating area is really really small (and a bit cramped) but it's really not a big deal...I did see a lot of people picking up takeout, seems like the thing to do if you're in a bit of a rush AND 2. It's not opened on the weekends :/ Overall though, this is some of the BEST food you're going to get in this city.

So, I am admittedly a long-time fan of Whisk... but this is sadly my first review of one of my all-time fav places in Miami. Along with the rest of Miami, I was thrilled to visit their new space for the first time... and its truly better than ever. The new space has a mixed look of urban chic and country sensibility, and Whisk successfully maintained it's casual/laid-back vibe. No need to dress up, and I love that... mostly because you get to have some of the best food in Miami while still dressing comfortably - what's not to love about that?! The only minor negative is the lack of parking (you may have to park a few blocks away and walk), but I can deal with burning a few calories before/after my meal. On my last visit to Whisk I had THE MOST AMAZING SOUP EVER! It was one of their fresh daily specials... a broth based squash soup with chunks of crusty bread. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was honestly the best soup I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavorful... just like the rest of their menu items. Some of my usual picks include their turkey/cranberry salad (its like thanksgiving in a salad, but better cause it has goat cheese... so good), the most fluffy fried rice with steak, and their pork burritos. But honestly, you can't go wrong... everything is delish at this place.
(5)Jane D.
So worth the wait even if you get there late. But if you wanna dine without the wait in line - get there before Noon! Parking is tight - so save the aggravation and park in the meters across the street. Try the Breseola (sp?) Cigar App with Goat Cheese and Honey. The Fried Green Tomato Sandwich (BLT) is phenomenal. Always check the Specials Board - lots of delightful little gems to try.
(5)alejandra g.
Went here for lunch on a Friday. It's a small cute place. I don't mind the wait because it's not a typical Miami place. I shared the fried green tomatoes (amazing!). Even my boyfriend loved it and he is not a big fan of tomatoes. Has the burger which is big enough to share with chips. Nothing out of tis world, but it was very tasty. I will definately come here again.
(4)Christina A.
Dear Whisk: I heart you. I heart you even more now that you are in a bigger space and open late! Your Friday burgers are now accessible to me without me having to skip out of work, YAY! I also adore your amazing Fried Green Tomato sandwich and Key Lime Pie...mmmmm. I don't care that I have to deal with the insanity of South Miami parking or wait for a table. You're worth it. Love, Me
(4)Manuel G.
I had lunch here recently with my friends who always go there when visiting from Los Angeles where they live,and was very pleasantly surprised at how good the lunch menu & service was, I had the pork burritos & could only eat half as it was of such propensity!,their Soup was also excellent. IMO great place for lunch in South Miami. Prices are reasonable , one quirk ,parking can be a mission.
(4)L M.
The food = OUTSTANDING. The parking & atmosphere= UGHHH! Started with the pimento cheese appetizer- delicious. Had the turkey, avocado, tomato sandwich and it was so good. Fresh turkey, lots of avocado, toasty seedy bread, and those good non-grocery store tomatoes. Deelish. My mom had the tuna salad and they kindly changed it to a perfectly grilled tuna steak atop a mixed green salad. She loved it. From the looks of it just about every other person (Friday at lunchtime) had the burger and it was huge! Why do I knock it down a star? The parking is a NIGHTMARE. Seriously give yourself an extra 20 minutes to try and stalk down a meter space few blocks away. Awful. Also, we were seated at one of the long tables in the back of the restaurant after waiting 15 minutes (like everyone else who walked in). These two women decided they don't feel like waiting and barged in and sat in the two seats in between us and another couple- the host looked mortified but was too afraid to say anything so they just served them there. So rude! I wish she would have said something because as soon as the women sat down they started talking so loudly and I couldn't even carry on a conversation with my partner sitting across from me. I'll definitely be back, just better prepared with a parking strategy! And hopefully minus the rude women who think they are too good to wait their turn for a table like everyone else.

Food is great must TRY.. Restaurant is awesome am in the business and can tell that they spent money on it.. Great Atmosphere, nice vibe very cozy the reason I gave them 4stars cause the service was fine just plain service! I wasn't embraced!! They had no espresso, cappuccino or coffee con letche! there tea was local but not good!! Over all is good I will come back and recommend friends to check it out... They need to be More detail oriented.. I hope they keep it up and improve cause they have what it takes to be the best..
(4)Steve S.
Shrimp & Grits needed to be spicer. It was much too bland. Brussels sprouts were amazing as well as the dates stuffed with Gorgonzola wrapped in bacon. We had a takeout that was ready when promised. Our first visit. one in group had a blt with fried green tomatoes that he loved
(3)Alina R.
Up one star from my last review. After a few visits here, I'm happy to give them a star increase because the food is consistently fresh and delicious. This time I ordered their buttermilk fried chicken salad. Fried chicken breast strips over spinach, cremini mushrooms, red onion and sliced avocado with a delicious home made honey mustard dressing. I've been craving that salad for over a week now since I had it. Their fingerling potato chips are awesome and so is their fresh lemonade. I have to get back here soon!!
(5)Jamie F.
After all the hype that Whisk has received I visited for lunch with a friend. I had been to their previous location and vouch for their burgers as being some of the best in town. I was not as impressed with our lunch fare as I thought I would be. My friend had a steak sandwich that was tough and nearly impossible to eat as a sandwich - she eventually just used a knife and fork. My fried green tomato salad was good but needed something else - I ended up using a spicy chili sauce to give it some zing. The buttermilk wings we had to start off were frankly, disappointing. No flavor and no spice and a little undercooked on top of it! Yes, the salads are fresh and tasty and they do a great job of local and fresh ingredients. But to rate #1 in my book I need some more flavor to keep me interested.
(3)Michael L.
Ive been wanting to go to this place for months...And this was one of the places i wanted to yelp in 2010, so here it goes: Location: in a plaza between a miami photo and a chef tian (chinese take out) this place is easy to miss, since the dont have a sign. Parking can be a hassle, but there was plenty right across Lejeune that was metered. Beware, the meter was strictly enforced, saw the officer giving a car right next to me a ticket as i was scarfing down my take out meal! Inside can only hold maybe 10-20 customers at most, the place is TINY..Now im all for the small cutesy places, but its getting to be borderline ridiculous, i would still call it small and cutesy if it were 3 times bigger. good thing I heeded the advice of others and ordered take out. The food: Its friday, which means unique burger day. And this place is the epitome of unique burgers, you can check out their daily menu online. Today was the BIG FRIDAY "Bresaola" BURGER - Naturally Raised Sirloin Patty, Lettuce, Tomato, Walnut-Raisin & Whipped Goat Cheese Spread, Air Cured Beef Tenderloin Slices & Red Onion Confit on Onion Challah Bun. I won't say this is the best burger ive had, because its not. The meat did not have that chargrilled flavor. But boy it did have a medly of other flavors from the walnut-raisin/whipped goat cheese spread to the cured beef tenderloin slice. The burgers here are king of unique flavors, however the meat, while appropriately juicy just did not have that char grilled goodness. The burger comes with either salad or chips, i picked the salad, and i was not disappointed. The mixed greens barely needed any dressing, the ingredients were uber fresh and i ended up scarfing that down as fast as the burger. Of course the juices of the meat and the goat cheese spread was all mixed into the greens in my takeout container so I'm sure that created a flavor bomb in itself. There are better burgers out there, but noone compares in the aspect of blending unique flavors so masterfully. NOONE. The key lime pie was deeelish. Smooth creamy, not overpowering, with a crispy crust i wish it was bigger!! Cost: this place is a little on the high side. I ordered the burger and a key lime pie: total was 20 and some change. However this place uses the highest of ingredients and im almost convinced they grow their own herbs. Thats how fresh everything tastes. Was it worth the 30 minute drive to see what all the yelp craze was about..absolutely ive driven further for worse stuff! Will I be back? i'll have to take my fiancee for sure! This is not 5 stars for me, simply because ive had better burgers and to me 5 stars is the best Ive ever had up until that point. And if you see my reviews I have very few 5 star places.
(4)Maritza M.
Ok, once you get past the parking situation (and trust me, it's a deterrent), you'll find that this place serves unpretentious, downright DELICIOUS food. We had the pulled pork appetizer which was spicy and full of flavor. We also had the homemade chips, which were very good as well. My fiancee had the burrito (AWESOME) and I had a turkey/brie sandwich which was also good. But, BY FAR, if you happen to be in the good graces of whatever deity you choose to align yourself with, and they happen to have the buttermilk pie, please make sure to order a DOUBLE helping. To say this dessert was good is to say the sun is merely warm, to say the ocean is damp. This dessert was sublime. Sweet but not overpowering, flaky crust but not dry, I cannot even tell you what the tastes were individually because it was the perfect orchestration of flavors. It was incredible. Oh yeah, lol.... The service was GREAT, the ambiance was so not "Miami". Great place to go, but if you decide to go on a Saturday evening best you walk there....
(4)Freddy G.
Tania R. introduced me to Whisk and now I'm a fan. Last time I went, I had their burger which was HUGE and delicious. They also make a mean tuna sandwich and tasty salads. The service is great and the food is always fresh. Must try! 4 Stars!
(4)Lourdes W.
Hello, Delicious! Boom Boom Boom...my friend and I were greeted, seated, and satisfied in less than an hour. What this place lacks in tables (and parking), it makes up in taste! I didn't care if I had to be rolled out to my car, but I was going to savor every single bite of my turkey, avocado, cheese and bacon sandwich. The homemade potato chips with Parmesan cheese shreds are a must-have. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. I've worked in Coral Gables for too long and I wonder why wasn't I Whisked away sooner?!?!
(5)Whitney R.
Wow! Oh Wow! Whisk will you be my lover? My Foodie partner? The one I go to in the middle of the day when I just can get enough goodness? Yes. I had been drooling over the possibility of going to Whisk every time I sign into Yelp and see it sitting there in the newly reviewed box. All those stars, it dazzled me! I finally had a day off from work in which to venture to the little spot hidden in the gables. Once I walked in and sat down we ordered iced tea which was fresh and cool. We started with the Aged Cheddar Pimento dip. It was served with perfect tortilla chips (the kind they have in San Diego where I grew up, they tasted like heaven). The dip was flavorful and the kind you go "ooooo" as soon as it hits your tongue. I ordered the Veggie Sandwich which was sprouts, avocado, tomato, onion, red lettuce mix. My dad got the Friend Green Tomato sandwich with bacon. They served it with an herb dressing that made it orgasmic. Over all this is the best lunch I've had in FORVER! The price was right, under $30 which underestimates what great quality of food you get. I told the waitress as we left, "Man, you guys earned those stars on Yelp!"
(5)Vanessa S.
Ok ok ok, first I have to say... I read the reviews, my friends tried it and raved but it wasn't until I read the baked roast beef sandwich description that I decided today would be the day I'd eat lunch from Whisk, and boy was I sorry I waited! First things first, I called to ask a few questions since I'm not familiar with the menu and the person on the phone was sooo nice! You know in Miami people always seem so annoyed when you ask questions, this was so refreshing. Then, when Carlos showed up with the delivery he was another sweetheart, not the usual "Here's your food, where's the money delivery guy."... he asked if we had menus and made some conversation. Finally to the food. I had the tenderloin salad.... gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, shaved tenderloin and a spring mix.... mmmmmmmmm. I'm not a big salad eater, but this was yummy. My coworker had the baked roast beef... one bite in he was in love. I can't wait to hit this place up on a Friday and try the burgers! Thanks everyone for convincing me to try Whisk!
(4)Dennis B.
Went to this place last Monday night after reading a lot of good Yelp reviews about it. Although, overall, it was an "OK" dinner experience it doesn't justify any more than a 3-star rating (which is probably even somewhat generous). Considering the many good reviews, this place didn't really impress me. The fried green tomatoes appetizer and sauce that came with it were very good. In terms of presentation, pretty boring ....just a bunch of fried green tomatoes on a white plate....you be the judge whether that's important to you or not. I guess they just try to keep things simple. Still tasted good though. A few things that bothered me as a customer.... The waiter was polite and not unfriendly but he had zero personality. He was also not very attentive - never asked if we would like another glass of wine, would like to order or needed anything else throughout the entire meal. My water glass was empty and was never refilled. While deciding which dessert to order and asking the waiter about the dessert options I dropped the hint that it was the wifey's birthday. Getting a small birthday freebie for her, like a brownie would've been a nice gesture of course but I know not all restaurants do that and, thus, didn't fully expect it. But not even a simple "Happy Birthday" from the waiter is unacceptable, in my opinion. The wifey asked if she could get a different side dish with her main course (sauteed spinach instead of the roasted herb and garlic potatoes) and although they both cost exactly the same on the menu there was a $2 extra charge for this. I find that annoying, especially considering she didn't order some 7 or 8-dollar sandwich...the fish sandwich daily special she ordered cost more than some of the entrees they have on the menu. ------- My turkey sandwich was pretty good but sounded a lot more exotic on the menu with the "brie and cranberry mayo." Basically something I could've easily made at home. Key Limepie dessert was small but good...it didn't have that exaggerated artificial lime taste to it that many restaurants seem to think their customers expect from this dessert. The positives...the red wine I ordered tasted great (I believe it was from Spain, $6 for the glass) and I did like the interior of the place and, overall, the food was good and tasted fresh (although it didn't exactly blow me away, either). I would go there again and give them another chance but the bottom line is, this first visit didn't impress very much.
(3)Lara S.
Good food, cute-as-can-be interior, and friendly people. I am definitely a fan of this place. I had a hard time finding it at first because it's in a small shopping plaza, and it has a small sign. It's near Havana Harrys (but don't park there or you will be towed- as the sign inside Whisk warns). I went for lunch yesterday around 2:30PM. The place is small, and I was lucky to get a seat at the long table near the window. A couple more people joined my table as I perused the menu. I liked the cozy atmosphere inside and I didn't mind the community-table type set up- it's nice, you get to meet people. But, this would be something to keep in mind if you are going with a lot of people or are in a loner mood. A few people popped in and out picking up to-go orders. The food and atmosphere reminded me of cafes in other places I have lived - Boulder and Ann Arbor- more than Miami. It was kind of a fresher, upscale version of Southern favorites (at least that was the menu of the week). Weekly specials were written on a board and also on a simply printed menu. I heard that they change their menu often. It was my first time there, so when I go back I'll see what kind of changes they make. I overheard the owner explaining the chef's training in Southern kitchens and how he moved up from sous chef to his own place. I also heard they are looking for a bigger space. I was torn between a veggie sandwich with hummus and veggies, the veggie plate with a mix of grilled and sauteed veggies, the fried green tomatoes, and the beet salad. I wanted something light, like the salad, but I really wanted to try the fried green tomatoes. Since I was dining alone I didn't want to order or spend too much money. The server helped me out by offering a half order of the fried green tomatoes even though that wasn't listed on the menu. My food was very good. Perfect amount of dressing on the salad and very tasty beets. There could have been a bit more goat cheese. The fried green tomatoes were good, but not great. My half order was decently sized, though, with 3 large slices. Overall, I think this is a good lunch or early dinner spot (they close at 7). The parking can be tough, and the prices are a bit high. My total bill was around $15. Maybe not bad for some, but I can't afford to spend $15 on lunch on a regular basis. But, when I want a cute, friendly place to have a nice lunch I would definitely choose Whisk. TIP: the owner said the best time to come (to get parking and avoid a crowd) is before 12 and after 3.
(4)Carolina N.
Everything is good at Whisk. The food is worth the wait and the parking hassle. Anything they make with grouper is delicious - the tacos, salad, and regular entrees. I also love the steak sandwich, hummus, and the burger, which is only served on Fridays. They also serve great lemonade and key lime pie.
(5)David M.
Fabulous. Great food. Outstanding flavor. Would come back again and tell all my friends
(5)Fiona M.
I wanted to give this restaurant a fiver but unfortunately there was a slight mess up. Love the decor of the restaurant and the whole homey feel. OK let me talk about the mess up...i ordered the grouper and it was under cooked. I asked the waiter if the fish could be cooked a little bit longer. He was very gracious and brought me a whole new meal ( i had taken two bites of the first one). I thought that was very nice! I would come again...i keep thinking about the bacon wrapped dates!!
(4)Adrian S.
The homemade potato chips, bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with gorgonzola, shrimp n grits, vegetable fried rice w/ churrasco & lemonade were all very good. Absolutely love this place. Won't give it the 5th star just yet. I've only been there once.
(4)Alessandra G.
I went on a Saturday night around 7 and to my surprise it wasn't crowded! I waited less than 5 minutes to get a great table...the restaurant has a warm and energetic atmosphere, the kitchen's open for all to see and the staff is welcoming. We started off the the hummus which was delicious! We also tried the cornbread..which was lukewarm and not the tastiest... For my meal I had the half order of burritos. It was AMAZING! Served wrap style it wasn't messy like one would think...it was perfect. It was also very the perfect portion and I was extremely satisfied. I tried my friend's churrasco teriyaki..fantastic as well. All in all I WHISK was awesome. Can't wait to go back. Great, convenient location as well. Go! :)
(4)Krupa H.
After reading all of the reviews, I had to try this place out. I decided to get it to go since I heard the place was small. I got the Whisk House Salad which was just ok because I did not really like the dressing, and I got the their roasted fingerling potatoes on the side. The fries were mediocre for me as well. Since this place has gotten so many good reviews I will definately still come back and sit down to eat and try something else and hopefully have a better experience, and the place was tiny inside so this is not a good place to come with a group.
(3)Florence Y.
It's been a long time coming! Baked roast beef sandwich with this apple-walnut tasting salad...hmm...mm...good! It was worth the $13.95? I stole chips from Ana P's plate...non stop. Iced tea in mason jars just made it taste better..and yes I was stuffed but I still shamelessly "shared" the key lime pie with fellow table mates! I believe they switch up their menu every week. So always check them out online before you head over. Tip-bits: Prepare to wait close to an hour during lunch times Park in the front...if you are lucky enough to find any Park across the street, metered parking In the small plaza beside Havana Harry's
(4)Norma S.
The food was amazing! the service outstanding.I love that its such an intimate setting. We had shrimp and grits, chips, and the key lime pie. Everything was DELISH! we practically inhaled our food I went there for lunch with my husband and baby.I did not even dare try to waltz in their with my stroller. I ended up sitting on one of the high top tables and put my baby in the carrier and wore her while we ate. Totally worth it.. I will be going back minus the mini me.

this place is mediocre at best. the food was neither great nor awful...just eh. i found for the most part that everything was pretty flavorless. the fried green tomatoes were greasy as was the ridiculously over price wet with oil tasteless fried chicken! sorry guys bacon does not fix everything...try a better recipe for the chicken and lose the bacon...that dish was greasy enough without it! as for the service...well there is none! the staff was far more interested in playing with one another than in serving. the waitron/order taker had zero personality and even less interest...hint...suggestive sell...or perhaps just a tad of excitement about your product??? on a high note when we were outside leaving one of the kitchen staff was outside, as they were now closed, and he was lovely...perhaps he would serve you better out front! i think this place is riding on its word of mouth hype that rests precariously on the fear of going against the status quo...a few more outside the south miami clan visitors who arent afraid to not agree with the "in crowd" and your gig will be up...just saying....

The churrasco sandwich was soggy and the meat was tough. It also had too much tomato and that was all I could taste. The chips were greasy, hard, charred, and unappetizing. This made me wonder if they even took the time to taste their own food, I would not put my name on anything they served. The dining area was the size of a bathroom. My friend was in the middle of eating but the manager began discussing a catering event with a customer while literally straddling him. It was certainly an uncomfortable and unwelcoming dining experience. Maybe I have a brain tumor that is altering my sense of taste and touch? I don't understand how there are so many great reviews.

I have NEVER had a better tuna sandwich. NO JOKE, it was delicious!! The fried green tomatoes are absolutely mouthwatering, and the sauce that comes with the dish couldn't compliment them more. Although those are the only things i have tried here, i also have heard that the pulled pork burrito is excellent as well as the fried green tomato burger. However the place is pretty small, only a few tables, and some are shared by several customers at a time since they accommodate more ppl. Despite this mild inconvenience i couldn't help but give it 5 stars for the great food, especially the tuna sandwich!!! I could have it every day of my life.

Whisk a hidden gem, please stay that way! read about it and decided to try it for lunch during the holidays, WOW what a surprise. The place is small but inviting, tables are shared by patrons and enhance the ambiance and encourage you to talk to your neighbors, try it... Now, lets talk about the food. for an appetizer I ordered blue cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, the bacon was crispy the dates firm and the blue cheese gooey, one word.. orgasmic. As a main course we shared the shrimp and grits and a mahi sandwich. The grits were cooked perfectly and the shrimp were delicious. The sandwich was served on a fresh multi-grain bread which was crusty outside with a soft interior and a fresh grilled mahi with a side of greens, simple but perfectly cooked. Will definitely go back! Please keep this gem a secret so we can continue to enjoy it!! remember Shhhhhhh.

Best Restuarant of Coral Gables - Miami New Times 2010 Place is family owned / run & every time I have dined there, the experience has been exceptional. Fresh, organic ingredients combined with reasonable prices & creative menu make Whisk Gourmet a real gem Burger Fridays ---- Best Burger out there. Pulled Pork Burritos, Steak Sandwich, Tuna, Charleston Chicken Salad are other standouts. Small dining area with only a few tables. Constantly packed but wait times are minimal. Heard the rumours regarding expansion into new larger location & hope they are true. Whisk is a winner & def should be experienced ...

Just came back from having lunch at Whisk Gourmet! It was delicious! I had planned this lunch a few weeks in advance since they are only open M-F from 11 am to 7 pm and it is hard for me to get to Coral Gables on the weekdays. It was worth the wait! We had the Friday Burger with the homemade chips (gorgonzola cheese, bacon, red confit onion), the turkey, avocado, tomato sandwich, the butternut squash coconut curry soup (one of the best soups I ever had) and the key lime pie for dessert (we wanted the blondie but it was still in the oven). All the plates were excellent! The place is small but we did not have to wait very long for a table. Our waitress was very nice and offered her advise on the dishes like add bacon to the turkey sandwich, which bread to get for the sandwich and which dessert she preferred. We found parking fairly easy across the street with the only inconvenience of having to cross busy Le Jeune Rd. I highly recommend it! They also offer catering and I plan to use their services the next time we have an event.

Eclectic, gastro-style, good. Friendly staff, super busy on Sat. Night. Meat in the side of rice and beans...wish I would have known...

Whisk has the kind of food I daydream about. I need to branch out and try other things on their menu, but first I have to get over my love affair with the turkey avocado sandwich on multigrain with bacon. Everything is so fresh and flavorful and wholesome. The homemade potato chips with black pepper and parmesan are irresistible. It's a bit pricey for lunch -- especially when you factor in delivery -- but what a treat!
(5)L Y.
Food was great, but lack of service. No proper introduction, no smile, cut off our sentence at the middle of ordering, did not even received a thank you or good bye at the end. I think I had gotten better service in a fast food restaurant.
(2)Andrew P.
Whisk has all the right ideas (thoughtful, creative menu with a matching atmosphere, enthusiastic staff) but comes up short sometimes on execution. The vibe suggests they are focused and will be getting better soon, but I don't know how long it's seemed that way. The wine selection was solid, prices fair, and staff only added to the experience / atmosphere. I will be back and am really pulling for Whisk to come through. In the meantime, it's still a solid option and worth the trip.

*THIS* place exemplifies why I use Yelp - when I visit my family and friends in my hometown [and assuming I find an awesome under-the-radar spot], I'm totally "in the in". This place made me "in the in" with family and friends alike. Mere blocks from my house, I might have missed this unassuming restaurant nested in a small shopping area. Just remember: it's between Havana Harry's and Ponce. You better not miss it. And, you better try to find street parking because this place gets SLAMMED. So, what do I recommend? Oh, everything. Seriously. I am ordinarily a woman / grrl full of complaints. But, not here. Everything I tasted was extraordinary and fresh. When I close my eyes, I can still taste the absolute best fried green tomatoes I've ever had. For my entree, I following the recommendation of my waiter, Dan [who is my favorite waiter in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD]: the spicy seared beef. Holy Argentinian-Thai bliss! It was out of the world. I loved it so much that I hoarded it, and opted to finish the other half of my sister's Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Organic Spinach Salad as well as chomp down on my man's mahi-mahi sandwich [rather than finish my own food...]. This experience - of all the different flavors was sheer bliss. Ok, I lied. I had one complaint. I wanted more seasoning in the fried chicken batter. But, I passed that comment on through my man Dan, and the chefs said they'd consider it. Now THAT is service for you. This is one of my my new faves in Dade.

I went last week, mainly because everyone talked so much about it, i had the burger with what appeared to be asiago cheese. it was good, but not spectacular. my wife had the coconut skirt steak, she liked it alot. would i go again? probably, i really want to try their buttermilk chicken. she loved the lemonade... it truly tasted like pure lemon.

I like this place. Food is great quality. Parking is hard to find.

*BIG FRIDAY "Blue Smoke" BURGER - 8oz. Sirloin Beef Patty w/ Gorgonzola Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato. Rolled out of bed (and I do mean rolled out of bed), and my first thoughts were = it's friday/ whisk burger/ damnit who's calling me. After doing a quick errand, I went en route to Whisk. After getting flipped off on the expressway for no good reason, I reach Bird Rd and after a few blocks, call whisk and make my order to go. Not a fool, I know it's gonna be packed. I get it, walk out the door, get in my car, go to a gas station to get an arizona 99 cent drink, and take my burger to the nearest incognito spot around, a park. I pull in and park in the shade and like a secret affair, have at it with little regard to dining mores. First two bites were good, but nothing amazing. And then came the gorgonzola cheese and that just opened up every single flavor in the burger. Amazing. I, also especially like their in-house chips, but I wonder if they'd ever try mixing that in with sweet potato chips... Also, they have like, 7 parking spots... for about 5 businesses in the plaza. I'll leave it at that. Still worth the wait. Best burger in miami.
(5)Justin F.
You will not be disappointed in any way after visiting WHISK !!! Fried Green Tomato sandwich or Spicy Beef are bomb !
(4)Emilio F.
Food was great. Fresh and light. I went there looking for the Burger but they only offer it on certain days. Seems like they change the menus all the time. First time here. Had the burritos and a tuna sandwich that was out of control. Beware the place is small so you might have to wait. Parking is another pain, but it is all worth it.
(4)Jonathan F.
Negatives: are that there is next to no parking. This tiny restaurant literally shares 5 parking spots with three other businesses. Additionally, every time I manage to go they are ALWAYS out of the tuna salad for a tuna salad sandwich. Positives: all other sandwiches are amazing.
(4)Chris B.
a great small, active urban restaurant with great style; moderately priced with good service and good food. Menu changes daily to keep up the interest. Food made to order; no refrigerator salads. Its like being in your own kitchen with your own kids politely serving you. Perfect for the urban village of South Miami.

I had dinner with my sister at Whisk earlier this week. I had heard great things about it and couldn't wait to try it. All of the menu selections sounded delicious and it was hard to narrow it down. We weren't too hungry so we did not get appetizers. I had the chicken-salad salad and my sister had the cumin dusted grilled chicken with rice and beans. My entree was a scoop of homemade chicken salad with walnuts, golden raisins, celery, mayo and dijon mustard atop a large portion of fresh greens, cherry tomatoes and thin sliced cucumbers tossed in a light sweet cider vinegar dressing. It was delicious! You could tell the chicken salad was homemade. My sister's dish was also awesome. Her chicken breast came with a generous side of black beans and white rice, a small side salad, and two big delicious tortilla chip type of things. The chicken was super tender and tasty. You could tell all their ingredients are very fresh and they put a lot of care into preparing the food. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy inside. It reminded me of a restaurant in Chicago. They have two long high tables that they use for communal seating. My sister and I were seated next to a party of about 5 or 6 women. Some might not like that, but it was fine with me. My one slight gripe about this place is the price. I believe its priced high, but that is probably due to the quality of ingredients. I was a bit turned off when I read that the sandwiches do not include a side, but you could get house made chips for $1.50 or a side salad for around $4.50. So it would bring up the price of a basic sandwich with a side salad to $12-14. A pork chop entree was priced around $21. The quality and taste will bring me back though. I just have to make sure I get my BF to pay.

I accidentally stumbled onto Whisk about 8 months ago and thank goodness I did!! Since that wonderful day it has been a staple of mine for a great lunch with friends. I can't walk in there without ordering the home made potato chips dotted with Parmesan cheese. My favorite sandwich has to be the grilled fish on multi-grain bread (the fish changes from time to time but it is always FRESH and delicious!). It comes with a side salad that has the best "brown butter" dressing. I always order the lemonade, no pink stuff here, it tastes exactly the way my mom used to make it!. I also recently tried the guacamole, we got quite a helping and it was great! No matter what I get at Whisk I always leave there full and happy. It's the best of simple and straightforward food with good ingredients and incredible flavor. The space is a bit small, so you might be sitting elbow to elbow with a stranger or waiting a few minutes during the lunch rush, but it is worth it. With it's quaint decor and cozy atmosphere, it conjures up thoughts of a grandma cooking away in her country home. I do miss the outdoor seating, especially during good weather, but Whisk is a MUST try, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Rick R.
The place rocks! They need to do something about the parking situation though - the parking lot is like a chick giving you blue balls - so tempting, but no chance! Shrimp and Grits; Skirt Steak; Corn Bread and Butter; Grouper Sandwich; and who could forget the Friday Burgers! Even the kids' chicken tenders were awesome! Sensible wine list and a few nice microbrews to go along with this great Southern-themed caterer gone restaurant extraordinaire. One of my favorite spots in Miami! But come early for lunch and dinner, otherwise be prepared to wait.
(5)Ivonne G.
We were introduced to this lovely little place by a set of friends that are regulars there and I'm so happy they did. It's a modern little place that are known for their homemade chips and amazing burgers. For the appetizer, we ordered the cornbread and bacon wrapped dates.. Delicious!! We went on a Friday, which is the day they make special burgers.. To die for - ranch bacon cheese burger.. Yum. The service could have been better which is why this place gets only 4 stars.. Will definitely be visiting this place again
(4)Nathalie B.
Good food for a random tiny place. Friendly staff. Only complaint would be the inconsistency in how good the food is.. but when it is a good day.. its delish..

I recently visited this tiny family own/run business located just blocks away from my High School Alma Mater. Let me tell you, if you don't know Gables well, you probably won't find this place, but Ramon C. was driving and he scope out the location because Maria A. could not stop talking about it. I was told by Ramon C. he already check on dessert and we will make it on time before they close. When i first step into the shop, I was like "this is nice, just my type of place because it's very simple decor with nothing fancy but very comforting as well." Ramon C. ordered the Turkey and Brie sandwich on Multigrain per recommendation of Maria and I ordered the Grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich per my conversation with one of the owners. The owner told me the Mahi-Mahi was local and really freash. Out came the sandwiches and I tasted mine, after the first bite I was speechless! The fish was grilled to perfection!! It has very nice grill marks on by side and was just pefectly cooked, you could taste the softness and freshness of the fish when it's cook right. From the top of my head this is a great sandwich and I decided Ramon C. should have a tried and swap half of the sadwich with him. The Turkey sandwich had a cranberry mayo, arugula and tomatoes on a multigrain bread. The turkey sandwich was good, but it could not top the Mahi-Mahi and I regret swapping half with Ramon C aftewards. The past 2 1/2 year I have visit many great cities by the sea and had so many variety of fish sandwich but none surpass this one!! After I finished both half of sandwiches I was ready for dessert, Brendan's Famous Key Lime Pie was the only thing I could have according to Ramon C. The slice of Pie was very fluffy and delicious, it got just the amount of tanginess in there and was not over powered by the sweetness which was perfection in my book. The folks behind this wonderful operation are not only great hosts, but were also kind enough to tell us how they started the place and some of the ideas behind the place. Fresh fish, fresh meat etc. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients they use in their dishes. I highly recommend this place if you like great fresh food served by wonderful people. I will definitely be back to try their other sandwiches and the hamburger as well on Friday's only. I hope I didn't bored anyone from this long review.

Me likey. Came here for lunch with a girlfriend on Saturday while taking a break from shopping at Sunset. Seeing as how as a good portion of our lives revolve around food, naturally we scouted the area on our Yelp apps and both agreed on WISK! First impression was bit of a bummer as parking was tedious (of course now I know I can walk from Sunset) and we were hoping for outside seating- it was a gorgeous weekend day. Our moods improved once we walked in and quickly developed food envy looking at everybody's plates. Atmosphere is country/modern if that even exists? Chalkboards with the specials, bamboo floors, stainless steel, and mason jars for your beverages. You get the drift. No tables were open we grabbed a spot at the bar. Orders went in and came out quick. Waitress was cute and sweet. Our turkey avocado sandwiches on toasted multigrain were had volume and were fantastic! Def get a side of crunchy homemade potato chips, sprinkled with sea salt and crunchy hot. We had front row seats of the great looking cakes in the cooler behind the bar but passed this round. Hey- we had to get back into the dressing room and dessert tummy guilt can often blow your shopping experience! Next time I'm for sure getting one of their tasty brews on tap AND dessert.

Maria A. has been raving about this place as long as I've known her. Tonight, I was finally able to see what was so awesome about it. Prior to my arrival I called in to make sure they had 'Key Lime Pie'. This was a strict requirement. So after that was taken care of I drove over with Gaie C. and I ordered the Turkey and Brie sandwich on Multigrain per recommendation of Maria. Gaie ordered the Grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich. Out came the sandwiches and Gaie had the brilliant idea of swapping halves. So I was able to have the best of both worlds. I was able to have the Turkey and the Mahi ;) .. The Turkey sandwich had a cranberry mayo , arugula and tomatoes on a multigrain bread. It was very goood. However Gaie wins tonight with the Grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich. It was sooo delicious that he regretted giving me half. After I finished both sandwiches I was ready for dessert. Brendan's Famous Key Lime Pie was the only thing I could think about. Out came the the pie and off I went to devour it. It didn't stand a chance , but I tried to savor every bit I could as it was sooo goood. I loved the presentation and the fresh fruit only made it even better. The folks behind this wonderful operation are not only great hosts , but were also kind enough to tell us how they started the place and some of the ideas behind the place. Fresh fish , fresh meat etc. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients used in their dishes. I cannot wait to come back and have the hamburger (which is only served on fridays and is more limited than a pair of tiffany dunks). I highly recommend this place if you like great fresh food served by wonderful people. :)

Just went for the first time this week. Went to pick up lunch for my aunt and her business partner to celebrate the last day of tax season (they are accountants). to celebrate we opened a bottle of moet chandon nectar imperiale....let me tell you...when a sandwich can hold its own to moet you know you found a winner!!! I am in love with this little jewel and cannot wait to take my hubby, a fellow foodie. I hear they have a delicious key lime pie and while i am not really a fan of this dessert... their blondie was one of the best i've ever eaten so i am willing to give their pie a try.
(5)Josy P.
Burger Fridays are to die for, but the service I received last time was less than desirable. We were ignored for a good 10 minutes. No water, no server, no attention. I miss the old Whisk.
(4)Matthew M.
The best food you can find in Miami bar none!
(5)Paula E.
words cannot describe how much it pains me to do this...I feel like I just walked out of a horrible break up...ugh sorry Whisk but yesterday's lunch was a slap in the face. Before, at the old place, I didn't really mind the crowds and lines during lunch rush hour because I knew the result was going to be satisfying enough to make it worth it...but when you sacrifice the quality of the food to accommodate more people, you lose both the quality and the service. Don't get me wrong, the hostess was very kind and accurate on the wait time, and my server brought me my iced tea in a timely manner. But the food left so much more to be desired...the fried green tomatoes I used to love were chewy and my turkey and brie sandwich was so dry it came close to stale. My colleague had the wings because he had heard they were some of the best in town...but he didn't seem to agree with this. Not to mention the place was filled with people and the kitchen and bar areas were so loud that people were literally screaming across the tables trying to have conversations with one another. It also filled up with smoke from the open kitchen and if was foggy and hard to breath in there. I hope this is just a beginning stage and that you solve the opening issues soon so I can return and at least be ready to be friends again.

I had great expectations heading into this restaurant; multiple friends have referred to it as their favorite food in the Miami area. The food was alright overall. Tasty, yes, but nothing overly spectacular, not up to par with what I had been told. However, our experience was tainted by many other factors. For one the parking situation is awful. Don't even bother trying to park anywhere near the restaurant. Luckily there IS metered street parking nearby, but even at a non-peak time I had to park 5 blocks away. Also, be prepared, Whisk refuses to sit a party unless all members were there. One member of our party was running late, but sent her order ahead of time so that the group could order it all at once. Even then, we were not seated. One hostess was very apologetic and explained that she could not break policy, however the other hostess was downright nasty, and truly the main reason I gave the place such a low rating. I have never experienced such horrific service anywhere else in Miami. Even once our group was all there, we were told to stand aside for another 15 minutes before the table was ready, and she elbowed one of our members in the side as she passed by instead of asking her to move. Despite the fact that we were careful not to be rude back to her during this experience she was constantly throwing us dirty looks during the wait. Additionally, instead of seating us at an open table with sufficient room, we were given a table with an additional seat on the end, right in the pathway of the waiters. The member of our group was seated in this seat was constantly knocked and stepped on throughout the meal. The loud volume also made it difficult to hear the other members of a party. Our waiter was pleasant enough, and apologized for the deficits in our experience, so that was a plus. The food was also decently priced for what you received. I'd be willing to try Whisk again, perhaps at a less busy time, but definitely NOT when that hostess is working.

Thought it would be empty for lunch on a Tuesday....boy was I wrong. Waited like 15 min for a table, but I think a full restaurant is a great sign. The fried green tomatoes were a great start, especially the dipping sauce - deeelish! Had the heavenly turkey and Brie sandwich. If you're a sucker for Brie cheese like me, then this is your sandwich. I was only able to eat half my sandwich though. Wish I would have split it since when i had the other half a few hours later, it just wasn't the same. Everything was so good and the fact that their menu changes often and they have different specials, makes me want to keep coming back over and over. Great job whisk!!!
(4)Cat F.
Visited on a Saturday afternoon. The place was jammed packed, but we did not wait, yay!! Service was decent (Miami standards) food was good. Good beer and wine menu! Had burrito for meal and dates for apps. Recommend for a nice lunch or brunch. I will return for brunch stay tuned....
(4)Tiger S.
One of the better chefs in South Florida. Arguably the best... Brendan and his crew do an excellent job. Great food, nice atmosphere. Best of luck!
(5)Elizabeth Z.
This place is heavenly. The parking, not so much, but I would endure 20 hellish parking lots just for a bite of one of their otherwordly sandwiches. Its a little pricier than the average lunch but oh so worth it, very fresh and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu!
(5)JOHN H.
My wife and i ordered take out from here the other night and though it was just OK. i would give it another chance but i just thought the food lacked flavor. i ordered the Burrito and was not impressed.
(3)Jessica Z.
Incredbile food that is fresh and made well. The owners and the staff are best in the business :) :)

If only Miami had more places like Whisk
(5)Berta T.
The food is delicious. A definite must if you are in the area. The service was very good. Parking can be a challenge.
(4)Aliette C.
I want to love this place but I just don't. I like the casual vibe but it's a bit too loud in there. Everything is just a bit over processed for my taste - it's like they're trying a little too hard. My skirt steak was over cooked and fatty and my guava cake was missing most of the icing on top.
(3)Ian C.
Nice ambiance, simple menu, awesome preparation! I had known about Whisk (and heard all the good press) since when it was in a strip center on Le Jeune. I used to order Chinese take-out next door (forgettable, but i'll leave it for another review), and damn, i should have skipped take-out and gone to Whisk. Almost perfect, un-pretentious, and not over-priced. It's discreetly located behind the Ace Hardware Strip Center in the South Miami Area. I guarantee you will leave happy!
(5)Angela H.
Great menu selection! Creative, and unique for Miami - Finally!! Thank you! Love the decor! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We are looking forward to going back!
(5)alex m.
Outside of a continued, slightly annoying parking situation, this place is really good. The Roast Beef Sandwich i had this week was so deliciously fresh, (along with the fried green tomatoes w/ buttermilk dip which is a continued favorite of mine). Other goodies like chicken wings, fresh deli-style sandwiches/fish, and desserts also keep me coming back to this joint. The use of farm fresh produce and quality ingredients is really evident, and a seems like even after expanding their restaurant and menu, the food is consistently satisfying along with the neighborhood feel and atmosphere which is always welcome, and easy to loose. Especially when coming from a their old small and charming little spot. Delicious!!!!
(4)Michael C.
What a place, a pain in the ass to find, but very worth seeking out. Not a typical Miami restaurant by any stretch of the word, Whisk kind of has this Southern hipster vibe that transports you to a college town in North Carolina. It's subtly upscale and very comfortable. The bacon wrapped dates, well, they are probably the single best item I have eaten at a restaurant in South Florida. Wow. Nobody does it better than this place. The fried green tomatoes are done very well here, although they didn't blow me away as much as the dates. The dry-marinated skirt steak entree reminded me of a good churrasco. It wasn't the most tender piece of meat I have had (it's skirt steak!), but the flavor and juiciness were superb. The steak was thoughtfully accompanied with gorgonzola, cherry tomatoes and onion confit, all which added to the flavor. The sides of local green beans and fingerling potatoes were well prepared and about what you would expect. The service was above average, and attentive without being overbearing, with the only flaw being a salad that arrived slightly after the main entree. Pricing was not cheap, but reasonable enough to make this a regular spot to go to. All and all, this is another place that I can't wait to come back and try new things at. I wish places like this existed in Broward County.
(5)Ivette B.
ate here with jen r.... our reviews are similar so i'll be concise. i loved THE FOOD at whisk. i ordered the Roasted Turkey & Dried Cranberry Salad. She had the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Organic Spinach Salad. Both were so outstanding that one of my new goals is to try everything on that menu. This place is not a 5 because of the parking and the size of the restaurant. It is tight in there and chances are you will have to share a table with strangers - this may stop me from going there if i'm looking to have private time with a friend over an awesome meal. I really hope it grows into a 5 star space - it deserves it.
(4)Jenaia F.
Disclaimer: Review is based off of takeout order only. For months, I've been driving by this place with the desire to check it out. I finally did today, and am really disappointed. I called in and asked for them to tell me about their salads - didn't have access to the menu while driving. The lady on the phone was quite nice and went through their salad list providing me with the ingredients and detailed description of each. I opted to go with the grilled veggie salad which sounded delicious - grilled onions, tomatoes, zucchini, and yellow squash with feta cheese over baby greens and a balsamic vinaigrette. Sounds great, doesn't it? It actually did taste pretty great, but for almost $11 I expected a little more than just 2 thin slices of yellow squash, 3 grilled onion rings and 2 slices of zucchini over 5 bites of greens. These are not expensive veggies, so I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that they were so skimpy with their serving. My stomach was growling before my meal, and it's still growling now. Pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.
(2)Suzanne D.
Nothing fantastic. Ordered the shrimp and grits, it was okay, but go to Angelique in Coral Gables, for a much better dish. The wait, the noise, and the reviews are not accurate, so don't expect too much.
(3)Nicholas T.
I've eaten here half a dozen times and loved it each time. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu. The key lime pie is exceptional, so if you still have room for it after dinner I highly recommend you try it.
(5)John E.
This place is awesome!! its small and cramped but what they do they do WELL! Even their home made potato chips are excellent. The Lemonade gives you a new theory on puckering. Just try to get there early for the lunch rush. Miami needs more local places like these and less chain stores.
(4)Kris F.
I ate here for the third time this past weekend and again, Whisk did not disappoint. The food is amazing. We went on a Friday night with friends (three couples total) and had to wait at the bar until a table opened up. While at the bar we had two delicious bottles of wine and three apps. The gorgonzola stuffed dates wrapped in bacon were absolutely to die for and the fried green tomatoes were also top notch. When we finally sat (an hour later), we were all pretty hungry, so we ordered another two bottles of wine, some cornbread and our entrees. Two people had the burger (every Friday there's a different burger special) and two ordered the burrito. These are the only two items I tasted, but I can tell you that both were absolutely amazing. I will definitely go back again and again. It was well worth the wait. But, the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think they've outgrown their current setting and have to find somewhere a bit bigger, yet with the exact charm that they currently have of being situated in an alley behind a bunch of storefronts.
(4)Felicia B.
Wisk: you elevate Miami food period! You make simple dishes sing. I ordered the grilled chicken today and was a bit worried that I didn't try something a bit more exciting from your wonderful menu. But, as Tania R. says you never let me down! The chicken was tasty and moist without a trace off fat and that cumin flavor came right through catapulting this simple cutlet to the head of its class. The fluffy Jasmin rice, black beans, sliced avocado & house Pico de Gall only further enhanced my enjoyment of the simple yet totally perfect dish. If this hadn't been take out I would even consider adding another star!

Well, I have to say Whisk is AMAZING!!! I have yet to have something on the menu that I dont enjoy. One of their employees is a client of the company I work for and everytime he would come in he would say "come to whisk" I never paid much thought to it because it didnt sound to appetizing to eat from a catering company.Finally I caved in and went. The Turkey Club is awesome as well as there Pulled Pork Burritos and lets not even mention their shrimp and grits YUM! everything they cook is delish, fresh ingredients, home-made taste.

The food was delicious, service excellent. Only thing we had a larger party which was broken up to two tables and it was very loud for conversation. I had the hummus and a veggie plate and a key lime pie for my birthday. Everything was fresh and tasty.

Great food . Get here early because parking is crazy !!! Awesome salads !!! This place is very busy all the time . Did I mention the burgers ??!!!
(4)Ingrida R.
Miami's GEM! I actually don't live in Florida anymore, but I dream of Whisk everyday. I would pay SO much money to have one here in CA. It has the freshest ingredients, amazing sandwiches, and I LOVE how the iced tea is served in mason jars! Every sandwich is mouthwatering. Parking is a little tough but sooo worth it. I would and do recommend this place to everyone.

you know how people talk about what animal they would choose to be if they could be anything they wanted? well, if someone asked me what restaurant i would be, it would be whisk. the food: super fresh, expertly prepared (LOVE the fresh tuna salad, cornmeal-crusted mahi mahi, delicious key lime pie), fun (and frequently-changing) menu the service: i want to be BFF with everyone who works there - they are so warm and friendly! but be warned: this place is popular and tiny, which makes for frequent waits (but they are moving too a much larger space in south miami in the fall!!!). parking can be tough, but there are metered spots on the other side of le jeune that are usually open. they are only open for lunch and early dinner, but we have gone for early dinner and brought our own wine (they didn't charge us for corkage) and had a fabulous time. call for takeout if you're in a hurry. i love you, whisk!!!

My second visit was good but not delicious. The place was packed so I had almost yell across the table to deliver my bad jokes. Acoustically it needs work. As for the food, the grilled veggie sandwich drizzled in Dijon and the golden beet Arugula salad were satisfying. My sis had the tuna salad and it was a bit drab. My advice: stick to its core competencies and you'll enjoy the place. Try their Fried chicken, burritos or Southern dishes and you will leave stoked. BTW, their wheat beer was bubbalicious.
(4)Paul S.
The Turkey Avocado Sandwich was crazy! Fresh !!!! On whole wheat bread!! , the homemade french fries were very crisp n good ! Good choice !!
(4)J N.
One of my favorite places in Miami. Love the food, love the ambience.
(5)Shelly-Ann G.
Great little neighborhood spot. The food is excellent and service is very friendly. Whisk is the place you can go and eat a hearty lunch and not feel terrible afterwards, they truly know how to cook fresh and healthy ingredients into wonderful down-home meals.
(4)luis s.
I have been here 4 times, and everything i had ha been great. I had the Cali burger last week and I must say one of the best burgers i have had. You must try the Sauteed mushrooms and spinach if you like that sort of stuff. I love the fact that its a small place with a selective menu. Great spot great atmosphere, the only thing that stinks is the parking but thats not there fault
(4)judy b.
Very good lunch, and delivered so quickly, i couldn't believe it (although they are only 1/2 block from my office). the salad was exquisite. good, fresh turkey breast (not processed deli garbage), nice fresh lettuce, the dressing was light and not too oily. the sandwiches looked excellent and were raved about by fellow office mates. will definitely order from there again.
(4)Kevin W.
Amazing cafe perfect for lunch. Great salads, sandwiches, and plates. Prices are reasonable. These people get it and are making excellent food. Only complaints are the parking in a small strip mall and the size of the place. Basically, only 15 people can fit inside this place. Otherwise, great and I can't wait to go back.
(5)Madelyn F.
There really isn't much else I can add to sing the praises of Whisk Gourmet. I love this place! Easy, quick and delicious - what's not to love?
(5)felix r.
Great burger and everything else is really good, understand that its a hole in the wall pretty much used for take out
(4)Franky A.
I've been to a few parties that have used their catering services and the food is by far the best I've had. It's tasty and fresh which is rare for most catered food. I highly recommend using them for a party. I've also had their take out once before and loved it.
(5)Lorena L.
Too pricey for what you get. I got the Buttermilk fried chicken spinach salad and my bf got the skirt steak. Food was good but not out of this world. Server was terrible. Kept forgetting to refill our waters and took the checkbook .5 seconds after I signed it, made me feel rushed. Not a great dessert menu either.
(2)Lilyvania M.
Delish gourmet food- must try the pulled pork burrito (this is not your typical burrito...think the best southern pulled pork with brie that just happens to be wrapped in a tortilla). Always great for lunch (delivery). Agree that can be a little pricey (but totally worth it...your taste buds will thank you).
(4)Carol Ann R.
We were introduced to Whisk on one of our annual trips to Miami. Thought the sandwiches and cookies were the best I had ever tasted! Now we go back on every visit - even if we have to think of an excuse to eat sandwiches. Almost worth a transcontinental flight. Fortunately, we visit Miami pretty often and can indulge ourselves at Whisk.
(5)David C.
So I saw Gaie's ROTD today about Whisk, remember Ramon telling me Friday is the only day they have burgers, and Maria saying "Best burger in Miami" I though, let me check this place out. Obviously I went with the burger and I definitely can say the hype is true. It was a bacon ranch burger, made with homemade ranch sauce and it was spectacular. I didn't know how ranch was going to taste on a burger but I said, what the hell, these guys seem to know what they're doing. I ordered it medium and I was delighted when I cut it in half for easier consumption and it actually was medium ! Let the record show that I also cut it in half for portion control, so I could leave room for the famous key lime pie but my efforts were thwarted by the taste of the burger. They're chips were a nice different side. I will have to return to try the Mahi and maybe next time I will leave space for pie. A+ to whisk. PS They are difficult to find as they have no sign outside, just a small sign on the window. Located in a little strip mall just south of Harry's next to a photo shop.
(5)Ana L.
I was amazed at how good a sandwich can taste!! The place is tiny so go with plenty of time to wait for a table.
(4)Melissa G.
Whisk is by far one of the best tiny hidden gems of Miami... so glad I found it. Everything is tasty... literally, everything. I'm a big fan of the burritos, the fried rice and how they serve thier drinks in glass jar mugs. If you haven't been, go today.
(5)Mariana R.
Moving out of Miami soon this is one of the few places I am going to miss. Love it, everything is amazing the freshest guacamole, the greatest burgers on fridays and the most amazing parmesan dusted potato chips. The whisk is definitely a must try you will love it.
(5)Jolie M.
My favorite place for lunch. I have never had a bad meal here. Everything that they create is spectacular. I have tried almost everything on their menu, but my favorites are the brie and turkey sandwich, whisk burritos with steak or chicken, steak and bleu cheese sandwich, and of course their wonderful homemade potato chips! I always start my meal with a arnold palmer and usually end it with a misha's cupcake or one of their fabulous deserts. Try it, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Annette M.
Small place, no reservations can be made, but worth the wait. They're not open for dinner, but you can take-out - voila! dinner! Come and eat here before they relocate to Kendall! :(
(5)Kelly O.
If I owned a restaurant this is what i'd want it to be: cute, great homemade food, and cozy. I split a great burger it was a cheddar ranch bacon burger and the fried green tomato salad. Both were really well executed. The lemonade and iced tea are made fresh which is a welcomed rarity. However, it is really cramped and our waitress should not be employed in the food industry. She just looked gross her hair was oily, she had no make up on and had broken out with two huge gross zits and she had food on her breasts that I guess she had dirtied by putting the plates too near her. Because of this the place lost a star. I would totally go again and hope to get another server.
(4)danielle b.
I love this place. When I went the first time I tried the fried green tomatoes as an app and the turkey avocado sandwich as an entree with a slice of key lime pie. Everything was delish and just from a picture I took I got all my coworkers psyched on it. We ordered the turkey sandwiches again the next week and they were just as amazing as the first time. I will definitely be back again soon and have taken every opportunity to tell all my friends how amazing it was. My only gripe was the communal seating. I went with my grandmother and she had to get up every time someone needed to get out and this really bugged her. I dont mind as much but next time we will definitely wait for one of the individual tables.
(5)A A.
If only the service was as good as the food. I have stopped coming here becuase the waiters act like they are doing you a favor. In particular the female bartender that is often behind the bar is especially rude and not service oriiented. I have sat at the bar several times and I always wonder how a place that pays so much attention to their food can keep someone like this on staff.
(3)Christine d.
Seriously, this is one of the best lunches I've had, ever. We ordered take-out so can't give an opinion about the place, the wait, etc... But the food is absolutely scrumptious. Don't miss the homemade chips! Mmmm
(4)Eileen A.
Love the new renovation. We need more restaurants like this in the South Miami/Coral Gables area. The decor is nice, the service is great, and the menu is different. Fried Green Tomatos are awesome!! I believe I had Spicy Skirt Steak Filets as my entree and it was pretty good, but I would try something different next time. Great place to meet for lunch or a girls dinner night. The restaurant is quite loud so it is not somewhere I would necessarily go to if I was on a date.
(4)Meghan K.
This place is delicious and the staff is so friendly. It is pretty small, so leave extra time or order take out! Highly recommended!
(5)Judy D.
Very disappointing first experience. After reading the rave reviews, we had to try Whisk for dinner. The very best thing, in our experience, were the fried green tomatoes. The sandwiches were very mundane and bland, though the fish in mine was cooked perfectly. The lack of parking was a problem, there was food on the floor and I almost fell on my arse and we sat next to a shrieking baby. Our waiter was very pleasant....and cute! There are no frills and we had to shout to be heard. Two sandwiches, one order of fried green tomatoes, a beer and iced tea plus a gratuity came out to $60. Ridiculous. Unless they do something special, this new shiny food establishment will be nothing more than another flash in the pan. We won't be returning.
(2)Ge I.
This place is yummy. We were told this place is good so we decided to try it at. The place is small but there is always people waiting to eat here. I had BLT with egg and that was good. I like that the bacon was not salty, the egg was a bit runny which I love because that is the way I make my BLT and Egg sandwich. My friends had the Charleston Chicken Salad and other friend had Roasted Turkey Sandwich and an order of there home made chips and home made key lime pie. For drinks it was Ice tea. The second time we went there I had the fried rice with chicken and my friends had steak sandwich and Dry Marinated Skirt Steak w/ Haricot Verts, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, Red Onion Confit & Macerated Grape Tomatoe. With home made chips and again key lime pie. Again everything was soooooo good. GO TO THIS PLACE TO EAT. It is worth the wait.
(5)El T.
Food is fresh, flavors are great and the service is very friendly. I would give this place 5 stars except that it's really really cramped. Go on off hours or take food for take out. I don't think it can seat more than 20 people if that much and you feel like a sardine.
(4)Sharie B.
I probably stop by Whisk at least once a month. Today I went with two friends and split the Turkey Avocado sandwich and the Chicken Salad sandwich, loaded with walnuts, on multigrain bread. Finished it with a lemonade and half a Red velvet cupcake, which made my afternoon. Daily specials are listed on their website. YUM.
(5)Cris A.
I always use yelp to find good restaurants and I've been batting pretty much a thousand with it. This was no exception. I was visiting from Washington DC and went here for lunch. The sandwiches are beautifully made and delicious. The atmosphere was excellent. They even had the Dolphins game on tv up over the bar which was a nice plus. Parking is a little difficult during busy times but that's about the only issues I can see though I did find parking pretty quickly myself.
(5)IK I.
Nice place. Happy I took a ride from the Miami beach area and did dinner the other night. Everything was really fresh. And tasty. Love those brown bag potato chips. I had the steak sandwich which was really amazing. The steak was cooked as ordered and tender. Service was somewhat spotty but adequate. The place was super busy for a tuesday evening but I understand that only because this place seems very popular with local residents. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice menu and delicious eclectic cuisine at a reasonable price. Just as an aside if your lucky enough to get seated by the open kitchen area you will be treated to a real show as the kitchen chugs away and creates some really great food. It was nice to see how efficiently the kitchen moved delicious food out to patrons.
(4)Claudia O.
I had an amazing pork burrito at Whisk. It was like an entire Cuban meal wrapped as a delicious package...yummmm! The staff is super friendly and the quaint space reminded me of someone's cozy kitchen.
(5)Penny G.
WOWOWOOWOWOW SOOOOOOOO YUMMY. This location is much more spacious and fresh and comfy. This is another spot that EVERYTHING is amazing, you cant go wrong with ANYTHING. Highly recommend any of the specials, the turkey avocado w bacon sandwich, anything containing the fried green tomatos, the turkey and dried cranberry salad, fried chicken salad, burritos, and burgers!! Everything is SUPER fresh and you can just tell that alot of thought has gone into WHISK GOURMET. So happy to hear they are open all day and even for dinner. Only thing is they need more parking!! A++++ total class act w amazing service and food, cannot say enough fab things about it, must go ASAP!!
(5)Gen M.
oooohhhh yummy! We stopped here after going to the botanical gardens and oh my! so good! We started with the fried green tomatoes with a buttermilk dressing, delicious. Perfect cornmeal crust and the dressing was so fresh, loved it. We also had the cornbread with scallion butter. My husband and I both loved the cornbread, it was moist and crumbly with pieces of corn throughout it. I liked the sweetness of the butter because I'm a fan of honey butter but I could have done without the scallions. It wasn't bad but I would have preferred just the sweet. My husband really liked the scallion flavor which is curious because he hates onion?? My entree was a special hamburger of the day that had mushrooms, cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato on a eggy bun. It was awesome and messy. One of the top burgers I've had. My husband got the special Pork Loin Chop of the day with roasted garlic potatoes and baby carrots. It had a light breading with some gravy ooooh good. The potatoes where outstanding and the carrots were even yummy and I don't really like cooked carrots. As you can see I really enjoyed my meal and I would so go back again! The place is a little bit I'm to cool for school as well as a lot of the people who go there (salads for everyone) but hey it's miami. The waitress was nice and the food is great.

Heard about this place a while back and finally made it for lunch a couple weeks ago. Overall it was a good experience. I would give this place 5 stars based on the food I tried, but the lack of parking, so so service, and lack of seating is definitely a downer. When I go somewhere I don't want to wait 5 minutes to find a parking spot and I definitely want to be seated when I walk in. I did have to wait a couple minutes for someone to leave the parking lot for us to get a parking space but luckily as we walked in a couple was leaving and we were seated quickly (however, this is not the case for the people who walked in after us and had to stand there for 15 minutes waiting..). Couldn't believe it but I knew the people seated at the table next to us and they gave us rave reviews for the food, along with recommendations. I had the mahi mahi sandwich and my boyfriend tried the turkey sandwich. My sandwich was amazing! I mean, I really loved it and highly recommend it. The boyfriend rated the turkey sandwich 7 out of 10 stars, so pretty good. When I asked our server for the corn bread she said they had run out for the day. Fortunately, I mean VERY fortunately our neighbor table had some leftover and shared. It was really good. And so was the desert we chose, a slice of key lime pie. It was made thick and delicious : ) Over the course of our eating there I heard a couple people ask for brownies, and I also heard the server tell them they had run out.. which is another reason I rated this place 4 stars. It wasn't that late in the afternoon to be running out of things like corn bread and brownies. I mean, when I go out to eat I want to know that I can find a spot to park, I won't be waiting 15 minutes to be seated (for lunch), and they have enough food. I don't think these are unreasonable demands. Thankfully the food they do have makes this place worth checking out. Hope they move to the larger location very soon!

this really is not a review as i've only been to whisk one time based on the recommendation of the 'yelp' lady in miami. however, my note is to let everyone know that whisk has moved. the new address is; 7382 SW 56th Ave. Coral Gables, FL 33146 (786) 268-8350
(4)Chris G.
Twice visited and solid performance. Great cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Met the owner and they are looking for new space to grow. The fries are tasty as is the steak and salads....bring your own wine or buy a bottle at the liquor store next door.
(4)Jenny G.
The best lunch in Miami, hands down. Everything these people touch turns to gold. You can order a block of wood with turpentine on it and somehow they will make it delicious. One of the top ten things I miss most about Miami.
(5)Katy L.
After about a year and a half of hearing about this place I decided to give it a go. Turns out this is a great spot for lunch. I have been twice in the past two weeks and both times everyone has enjoyed everything! I recommend the Mahi Mahi Sandwich,the BLT with fried egg, the Parmesan dusted potato chips, the blondies, and the key lime pie. I will definitely be going back!!
(4)Dan B.
I've been to whisk gourmet now many times and I think every thing on their menu is ubiquitously good. I think I reached the peak of goodness when I came on Friday to try the Pastrami and cheddar burger. Wait a minute. PASTRAMI AND CHEDDAR BURGER? Where do they get the audacity to make such a diabolical creation? This isn't normal! This can't go together! These are two items best enjoyed separately. Well, defying all logic, Whisk went ahead and combined the cured deli meat with the ground cheeseburger. It was fantastic. That's what I love about this place--they're daring. The meat is so juicy and thick, the bun is out of this world, the pastrami was a hit. Is it the best burger I've ever had? I don't know. It's up there. It depends on my mood. It's a different experience than getting a burger at Tobacco Road, so it's hard to measure them up. To me, there's nothing more satisfying in this world than having one of those death burgers with fries at Tobacco Road with lots of beer. The now extinct burger joint Bill & Ted's in the Sunset area undoubtedly had the best burgers Miami has ever seen. But, Whisk Gourmet does something incredible with the burger and kind of rejuvenates our love for burgers by offering a new burger every week. It's exciting and gives Miamians a worthy tradition that can probably pass the test of time. I've also tried the avocado turkey sandwich and the Charleston Chicken Salad sandwich. All of their sandwiches tend to be awesome. I think this could be my favorite place to get lunch nowadays in Miami.
(5)Tricia M.
Based on Yelp my husband and I decided to try lunch 1/21/2010. We arrived before 12 and were very surprised at the crowd already forming. The place was cozy and we were immediately welcomed by our server. We were seated at 1 large table with 2 other couples. Again based on prior reviews, I had my heart set on the turkey avocado sandwich. My husband and I both ordered the turkey avocado sandwich and It was excellent, I also would like to mention it was generous size sandwich. My husband is a big eater, but the lunch filled him up! The couple sitting next to us offered us their remaining date wrapped in bacon and it was delicious. He was also a yelper, nice guy. We were very pleased with lunch and will definently return! Btw we also ordered a slice of the key lime pie it was excellent! Definetly recommend this place!!!
(5)Rob C.
yelpers have it right, and it's a consensus agreement. had the grilled mahi on mixed grain with the side of parmesan potato chips. simple tasty flavors executed very well. place is small, kinda like a room in a house, so consider takeout. watch online for the rotating specials. only prob is it closes by 7 and not open for service on weekends (just catering)
(5)Michelle F.
Their turkey sandwich with brie is to die for!
(4)Casandra P.
This is the restaurant I wish I had across the street from my house. I not only love the food but also the variety, all so well executed. As proof of how much I love the lechon burritos, I drive from South Beach to the South Gables, circle the tiny parking lot, give up on legal parking, park next door at Havana Harry's while risking being towed, run out of the car, place my order, run back outside to make sure I don't get towed, pick up my order and eat it in the car. I did sit at the restaurant once when I went in the evening and it was a wonderful experience. It is very homey with lots of interesting ingredients on the shelf to peruse while waiting for dinner. By the way, the delivered lunch catering is also excellent. The food quality and taste does not suffer at all as a result of the transport. I can't say enough nice things about Whisk. I just hope it is around for a long time and they better never take those lechon burritos off the menu. I'm addicted!
(5)Giulia A.
we order from here for lunch at the office all the time. food is consistently great. no one at the office has ever complained - and we're a tough crowd to please when it comes to food.
(5)Charlie B.
great place for lunch...roast beef sandwich with brie with roasted pear and gorgonzola salad was very very good...popped in next door to cup cake nouveau for the most delicious cupcakes...best part though..spending time with JeanMarc, friend/twitter/yelper
(4)miami g.
Great food and service... and wonderful for catering. Only thing missing is more tables and booze and it would be the perfect!
(4)Barbie B.
I love this brother and sister owned and operated tiny restaurant! I always call for pick up because it gets crazy busy at lunch time. I almost always order the turkey and brie sandwich and add avocado. The portions are large, if I'm eating normally I can only finish half a sandwich, but sometimes it tastes too good to stop. They have amazing key lime pie and who can say no to a cupcake from Mishas?
(5)Tiffany S.
We order from the this restaurant quite frequently at work. The food is amazing and always fresh. We only wish they could deliver a little earlier seeing as though we eat at 12 and usually they can't make until 12:30. However the great tasting food, and friendly delivery guy definitely make up for the later delivery time. Finally my last suggestion would be that they should open on the weekends. I would love to go there with friends on the weekends to share such fresh and tasty food.
(4)Dani D.
Delicious!! Had the bacon wrapped dates and huevos rancheros! I can't wait to go back! The coffee was amaze too. Panther coffee. The parking is a little bit crazy but you can park just around the corner and walk. Service was great and the atmosphere is perfect for a Sunday brunch!
(4)Maidel R.
A taste of Charleston in Miami, what is there not to love about this cozy little Resturant in South Miami. The only real quality southern food in perhaps all of South Florida. I also need to add that the staff is amazing and they always, always accommodate to my shell fish allergy. O' n they serve craft beer. One of my favorite resturants ever
(5)Andrew A.
This is one if the best Gastro Pubs i have been to in Miami. The place is very different from anything else in the city. My fav thing about it is not just the food but the fact that it is a hidden gem in South Miami. I just read a great article from a blogger about this place. peacelovemimi.com
(5)Juan S.
Yes, I hate the parking situation, but the food is amazing. Great neighborhood place and some of the best food in Miami.
(4)Jason A.
From the moment I walked through the door I was impressed. I was greeted with a huge smile from the hostess and seated at a spacious table with my party of 6. My table was right by the kitchen which is not usually good... but the setup here allows you to look into the kitchen and see the chef preparing your food. I really enjoyed watching the kitchen staff work their magic and the chef was very entertaining and engaging....he even photobombed one of our pictures. After observing my meal put together I was ready to eat. The smell in the air was making my mouth water. The very friendly waitress set my grouper sandwich in front of me. It looked like a work of art. When I took the first bite it was bliss. The best grouper sandwich I ever had. It was perfectly seasoned with a delicious crunchy breading. The grouper was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The piece of grouper was huge and eventhough it was amazing, I had trouble finishing it. This place was just perfect. The ambience, atmosphere, decor, service and most of all the food was all very impressive. I honestly can't wait to go back. The only problem is that the grouper sandwich was so good, I don't know if I can bring myself to order anything else.
(5)Ricardo B.
Came here to try something new. Yes, the place is not exactly on any main roads but it is worth looking for it. We went for brunch on a sunday around 2pm. Only had to wait 25 mins for a table for four (not bad considering this is miami). You could seat at the bar too btw Service was good, not overly friendly and not rude at all. Food? I had the huevos rancheros: MMM GOOD!! The other people in the group had the turkey BLT and they enjoyed it. Food came out in a timely manner For dessert, i tried the maple bacon and pecan pie. Not a huge fan of pecan personally but this wasn't bad at all. We will definitely be back again.
(4)Tiby M.
Yum!!! Fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits... They do overdo salt. Ignore request for no salt. But pretty good.
(3)Ileem A.
We were shopping at Whole Foods and decided to wat here. We were pleasantly surprised as it is kind of hidden in a dark corner where you wouldnt expect it to be but in the inside it was definitely a hip place. They had Old Rasputen on tap so I was impressed when I sat at the bar, order one of those along with brussel sprouts and shrimp with grits. The brussel sprouts were really good but the shrimp and grits was incredible. We had the spicy seared beef for our entree which was up there with the brussel sprouts. Service was good. Definitely a place to check out
(4)Natalie I.
I remember whisk when it was on Le Jeune had 3 tables and was only open for lunch, which a line down the street with all the Gables business folks begging for one of whisk's gourmet sandwiches. Oh how this inspired little kitchen has grown. Whisk is now a staple in South Miami. The decor is great wood tables, clean lines, some tables you share some are privet tables. The bar is nice and big in a location by the front door and away from the kitchen. I have to say the layout of the restaurant is just fantastic. This was a brilliant business plan that grew with the success of the restaurant. You can tell they put a lot of function into the decor and its just so pretty. I love a well thought out well run restaurant. The service is excellent, bar is great, the brilliant minds behind this joint pay attention to the last detail! For instance I got a gift card for my grandpa, it came on a key chain with a mini whisk on it... who does that? Details like that make Whisk an amazing well run business and we haven't talk about the food yet! The food Oh My Gawd the food. The food is organic, it is healthy and it changes based on what is fresh. FRESH food is the best food and the brilliant minds at whisk understand that ingredients matter. Yes they have all the staples that made them take off, they still make a seriously bada$$ sandwich, but they have evolved into gourmet southern food. With good portions and delicious flavors. The price is fair and the food is worth every penny! To sum it up: Eat. Here. Now.
(5)Farah G.
Went for dinner, we loved everything. We had dates, masitas, and chicken biscuits for appetizer and they were all great. As far as entrees, i had the ribs, they were great.. Tender, not too much sauce. Someone else got the burrito...it was so big she had to take 1/4 of it home. The others had the spicy beef. It was yummy and unique. Maybe a little small for a guy, but luckily we had all those appetizers. Also good craft beer selection. Overall place is great. Definitely want to come back to try other things. If i have to say anything negative... Its a little cramped for space... And noisy... And we felt a little rushed... Its like you were taking your last bite and they were taking your plate away. Only reason i didnt give 5 stars.

Hidden treasure in SoMi. Diverse menu, quick lunch service. A little noisy for a lunch meeting but good food and service made it worth the visit.
(4)P H.
Really good food!! We went to WHISK recently on a weekday for lunch and loved it. We tried the fried chicken salad, shrimp and grits, and a sandwich, and everything was delicious. YUMMM. What a pleasant surprise because the place has somewhat of an unassuming exterior and is located kind of off the beaten path. The decor is nice and country-chic, yet simple and comfortable. We received good service and everything about our meal was super smooth and very enjoyable. We went on a weekday for lunch and had to circle around for parking, so I can imagine that parking must be super difficult on the weekends. This almost makes me not want to rave about this place any further because I'm going to have to spend even more time looking for a spot next time! I want to give a special thank-you shout-out to the staff member (maybe the bartender?) who saw us shivering under the ceiling fan for coming to us across the dining room to turn off the fan for us- without us even having to ask. That's amazing attention to customers care and service. Thanks!
(5)Roselin S.
I LOVE Whisk. It is one of my favorite restaurants known for its amazing comfort food and fusion of southern meets Miami. Sharing some appetizers and entrees is a great way to get a taste for a variety of menu options. For appetizers, I love the fried green tomatoes, pork tenderloin masitas, bacon wrapped gorgonzola stuffed dates, cornbread and maple glazed Brussels sprouts. Great entree options include the low country shrimp and grits, fried chicken breast and spicy seared beef which has the perfect kick to it. Top it off with their delicious key lime pie which has the perfect balance of lime and sweet taste. Their bread pudding is great too. Depending at what time you arrive, there may be a longer wait than usual. Order a cocktail or glass of wine while you wait-you won't regret it!

Was recommended by a friend on a past visit and I'm happy They did. Over past few trips to Miami I've been here a few times and I've always been very happy. The Fried Green Tomatoes were really fast as were the Polenta Fingers. I also enjoyed the Half Chicken entree and the Mahi Mahi Sandwich was really good too. The menu is a great mix of flavors so everyone can find something they like. I would definitely recommend coming here. Usually pretty busy so be ready to wait.

Cornbread and pulled pork! The best! It can be a little packed but for good reason. Good Country Food is hard to find in Miami
(5)Lulu P.
4 stars for the food, which is always great. We had a great server too, but the wait was really awful, as was the parking. Shrimp n grits were great. Sandwiches and salads are awesome too. But because this place is such a pain in the butt to get to and the parking is such a hassle, and it's always so packed and uncomfortable,we won't return.

Wow! This is everything we expected and more! My husband and I went on a Saturday afternoon and found that the restaurant was super packed; while we waited for a table, two seats at the bar opened up so we decided to take those since we were starving! We started with the fried green tomatoes, which can be described in one word: DELICIOUS!!!!! I think I could eat 4 orders of these! Om nom nom! Their lychee sangria is amazing and very refreshing, especially given the 100 degree weather we've been having lately! When the food arrived, I found myself having the best tuna melt sandwich I have ever had. It was so rich in flavor! Everything from the sauce to the thick cut bacon was delicious! My husband had the pulled pork sandwich, which was a monster of a sandwich and he loved it as well. I wish we would have had room for dessert because everyone who came in wanted to take a piece of their carrot cake. Maybe this will give us an excuse to go back! Overall, great service, incredible food, and cute little spot! This is our new hidden gem!

First time here, my husband and I order a cornbread which was good (tip add grown pepper on the butter ) I order a filet sandwich with blue cheese sauce (not good) the bread wasn't homemade and it was sweet and the combination with the Bibb lettuce and tomato it wasn't a good mix but my husband have the fried chicken which was delicious the mush potato was perfect and the fried chicken good , We didn't eat dessert because the one that we want wasn't ready buuuu I drink sangria of lychee that was a perfect!!!!

Yum Yum Yum!! This place makes my Southern heart happy... The service here is fantastic and the restaurant is cute, modern, and lively. Being from Charleston, SC I appreciate their effort to provide southern favorites like shrimp and grits and chicken & waffles. While the food was great, it isn't 100% authentically southern, but maybe as close as it gets in Miami. I recommend the chef salad and the chicken biscuit! The chicken biscuit came with this amazing sweet/spicy sauce that was unlike any sauce I've ever had. Veryyyy good! I've also heard this place is great for brunch. I'm sure I'll be back soon to test the theory.

This place is one of Miami's (not so hidden) gem. I'm sure you've heard someone say how good the food is, and I promise it will not disappoint. I've eaten here several times, and I've never had something that I did not like. I usually try something new, only because the menu has sort of changed each time I've gone. I had the most amazing fried chicken sandwich the first time I went & I keep going back hoping that I will find it on the menu again - no luck yet. The appetizer are a must! I suggest you also split the main course. My boyfriend and I order something different and then split it in order to try both. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is due to how small it is & how packed it always is so parking is a mission! Hopefully you get lucky enough to catch someone as they're leaving. Other than the parking, everything else is wonderful, including the service.

Recommendation: Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs Big flavor in this hidden gem. It's a pretty tight restaurant, but the food is great.

I came here last Sunday for brunch with some of my friends from med school. The restaurant is located in an off to the side strip mall that's seems to actually look like it's in a residential neighborhood. Parking is extremely limited, so plan to park further away and walk a while. The restaurant itself is pretty small and quaint, which lends itself well to a brunch spot. I decided to get the eggs benedict and a mimosa. First off, I loved the mimosa. The orange juice they used had just the right amount of pulp and it was just absolutely delicious. However, it was like 10 bucks which was a little pricy for my taste, since other places give you bottomless mimosas for just a few bucks more. The egg benedict was delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached. I would barely touch them and the yolk would run out. The portion size was just right, but I've definitely gotten bigger portions for about the same price. Overall, WHISK is a solid place for brunch. I would probably come back again, but not weekly just because it's a tad pricy. Although I've definitely had better brunch experiences back in California, WHISK is just a tad behind. Definitely a good place to try.
(4)Pamela P.
This menu is not light. This is all out hearty, homestyle southern food. Delicious! I loved the bacon wrapped dates and the crispy brussel sprouts. The wine list is one of the best I've seen in Miami. I shall return to try their fried chicken. Downsides: parking, sometimes very crowded.
(4)Lucila I.
The food was great, and the presentation as well. I went with work friends during our lunch hour and it was pretty packed. The place is nice and cozy. They only downside was the noise. The acoustics of the place a really bad and we could barely hold a conversation without yelling.
(4)Yoomi P.
We came here to get brunch on a Saturday afternoon... but to kill our excitement, they only have brunch on Sundays! :( we were so sadddd. But it was all okay b/c their non-brunch menu was still SO DELICIOUS! A friend and I shared the chicken' biscuit (appetizer) and the Southern Pulled Pork Burritos and it was more than enough food for us. We ordered the chicken biscuit b/c the couple next to us was eating it and it looked SOOO GOOD. and when we got it, the group on the other side of us asked us what we ordered saying they should've ordered that haha. And I must say, it was pretty darn delicious. I would definitely order it again. It's fried chicken on buttery biscuit with some kind of sweet sauce? It wall went super well together. The pulled pork burritos were also good. It comes in 2 burritos, so it's perfect to share. It sort of reminded me of a Chipotle burrito? hahaha, but I guess it was better than that. I wouldn't mind order this again either.. but want to try other things on the menu.. so I probably won't. The staff here was SOOOO nice and SOOOO funny. They definitely made our day. Everyone seemed sort of hipster-y? hahaha. They made us laugh the whole time we were there and I really appreciated that. I would recommend this place to friends visiting Miami! :)
(4)Stefanie M.
I love it every time. This is one of, if not the best of the restaurants in the South Miami area. The food is consistently great. I love sitting at the bar, which is more like a dining bar although they also serve food and wine, and ordering appetizers. A must order every time is the fried green tomatoes. I also really like the chicken biscuits appetizer. My go to orders include the Caesar salad, which has shaved Brussels sprouts, and the hummus sandwich. I also always check the specials - there always seems to be a great fish sandwich on there. Regardless of what you order, you always will know that the food is fresh and awesome. You really can't go wrong at Whisk.
(5)Melissa J.
I've been here twice so far and I must say, they don't dissapoint. The ambience is cozy and the staff is awesome. I've tried the pulled pork burrito (which is one of my favorites and large enough for 2...or one extremely hungry person), the crab cake, fried green tomatoes, and the swordfish sandwich (all of which were delicious). For dessert, I had the bread pudding which was insanely huge and so good that I'm considering ordering it as my entree next time. I will definitely be back to try their fried chicken, especially after reading on the bathroom wall that it's award winning...great marketing strategy guys, it worked. Thanks for the great service and food.
(4)Ratchel D.
Sat with very hungry toddler for 10 minutes, no one came by. On my way out, there were three waiters talking away. I told them about my experience and walked towards my car. Parking lot is very small, and service (based on today's experience) is poor.

YUMM .. best birthday dinner ever

Order Banana Bread Pudding, this review is over. Okay, so we ended up here randomly but I can't turn down a good brunch. We sat at the bar because this was incredibly packed, it isn't a huge space but it is just right. Parking is a bit on an issue because well it's south Miami and parking is always an issue. They do offer valet parking but the space is so small that you are better off finding parking in the side street. Looking over the brunch menu the selections were truly original, I order a small stack of Fried Green Tomato's and my husband ordered Huevos Rancheros - as we waited on those we also ordered some Bacon Wrapped, Gorgonzola Stuffed, Medjool Dates and Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts. Personally the appetizers were better than the entrée. The Fried Green Tomato's were good but a bit much I couldn't eat them all. My husband truly loved the Huevos Rancheros and highly recommends them. The Dates were a small portion and they were so good that I would probably suggest ordering two (each come with only three dates) apart from that order some panther coffee with some banana bread pudding. I would go again and again just for the desert.

What a great experience! Recently, went here with couple of friends the place was entirely cool, quick service, delicious wine, elegant dishes and affordable prices.

This place is just hands down AWESOME! Super amazing little gem hidden within sunset place. I literally mean hidden because as soon as my gps told me I have "arrived at my destination", the first thing I thought was "where the heck am I?!!" Before actually using my eyes to look for their delicately written name "Whisk". I had a nice little girls brunch with my friends Katlin and yzzy. We shared EVERYTHING cause we simply wanted to try everything lol. So we started off with their chicken tortilla soup, corn bread, and bacon wrapped stuffed dates. The tortilla soup was by far my most favorite thing! Packed with incredible flavor and the serving is pretty big compared to the price. Very much worth it + leftovers to take home woohoo! You may think cornbread sounds plain and boring... BUT NO! They serve a fluffy small loaf of cornbread with spiced honey butter. I don't care for cornbread but this honey butter pairing won my heart and I now have a newfound appreciation for cornbread. The bacon wrapped dates were stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese. I'm not the biggest fan of Gorgonzola because I prefer mild cheese over strong, but I had no problems with this! I guess the mouthwatering, perfectly cooked crispy bacon over powered the strong Gorgonzolaness because the cheese came off weak. Me gusta! So entrees... We shared their blackened fish (I forgot what kind of fish) sandwich and some kind of shrimp salad. Make sure you ask for extra greens in your salad because they don't give you much to begin with so the ratio of lettuce + toppings is off... and it's free anyway. The shrimp is as fire as the cilantro ginger vinegarette dressing! Very light, very healthy. Plus it has avocado, win! The blackened fish sandwich was served in a fluffy semi sweet hamburger lookin bun. The bun was my favorite part about this sandwich cause it reminds me of fuddrucker's buns. And as for their service... It was a little TOO good. Everytime I set aside a small empty plate so that yzzy could pass some of the salad onto it, a sever would immediately come up from nowhere and pick it off the table for me. This happened twice. Talk about ninja server skills! Beware.
(5)Joanna S.
I have been here twice now and this place is just awesome! It is a very small place that does not take reservations and has limited parking so be prepared for that. The quality and taste of the food along with the originality and freshness make this place very unique and amazing. I had the homemade soda of the day which was strawberry vanilla and was very flavorful and not too sweet. I also had the white lychee sangria mmmmm. We got the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they are very crunchy and flavorful. I then had the homemade grilled tuna melt sandwich with house made chips, out of this world! My bf had the ribs and they were fall off the bone full of flavor and just a great dish! We had the cheesecake for desert as well and it was awesome. We will definitely go back whenever we can and try the rest of the menu. This place is a little pricey but we'll worth it for the quality.
(5)Denise C.
We planned a double date for tonight and for days we talked about different restaurants to go to. Finally.....we decided to go to Whisk Gourmet and it was the best decision ever! A small and cozy restaurant indeed! The moment you walk in the delicious smell of food quickly lures you in. It was about a 30 minute wait for the table at around 7 pm but well worth it. I suggest sitting at the bar and ordering the white lychee sangria. Amazing and refreshing! Once we sat down, our server was fantastic. She was welcoming and friendly and made great recommendations. We decided to order several starters and each couple shared an entree. We started off with the fried tomatoes, the brussel sprouts, the corn bread with honey butter, the fried corn on the cob, chicken and biscuit and bacon wrapped dates. Every single dish was so tasty! My favorite was the fried corn on the cob and fried tomatoes. Our entrees were fried chicken with mash potatoes and spicy beef with white rice and spinach. After such amazing plates, we ordered the Nutella butter cream cake! The name says it all folks...you can imagine how incredible it was. We can't wait to come back and we will continue to recommend this spot to all our friends! Fantastic food, service and beautifully decorated restaurant!
(5)Elizabeth E.
I brought my husband here for dinner tonight. Being 9/11, I simply asked if they had any specials for Military or Firefighters. Their thoughtfulness to the service showed from when we arrived we were immediately seated even though there was a small wait and the manager comped my husband's entire meal. The ambiance and selections were delicious, and our waiter Jacob was great. Thank You, can't wait to come back back and dine again.
(5)Denise W.
Wow. That is the first word that comes to mind. This place is so amazing. We went there because it had been featured on diners drive in and dives. We have always had good luck with their recommendations and this was no exception. The grilled pork chop was so tender and delicious. The spicy beef was marinated in coconut milk and was wonderful. The fried chicken was the best. However due to all the good food, we almost passed on dessert which would have been a terrible tragedy. We had the coconut bread pudding. Hands down the best thing to pass my lips in forever. If you are in Miami, don't miss this hidden gem.
(5)Geraldine A.
Finally came after hearing about it for about 3 years! Got lucky cause I tried a variety of things on the menu since I was with a party of 5. Some things were a hit, some things were not so much a hit (not quite a miss though). The most amazing: Grilled Filet Mignon Sandwich, Sangria Here's what was delicious: Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts , Chicken Biscuit (app), Warm Homemade Cornbread It was aiiight: Blue Crab & Roasted Corn Fried Rice Want to come back soon to try the fried whole Snapper. I wish they had chocolate dessert, none on the menu when I went. Only something with a bit of chocolate ganache. Also, get there in time for your reservation. Because of demand they only wait 15 minutes for you! Cheers.
(4)Morgana H.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere! This was my second time here and I will definitely return to try something new!
(4)Rafael L.
This place is southern casual food at it's best. The fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits are amazing. The bacon wrapped dates were heavenly (they make really good bacon here). For dessert we shared the Key Lime Pie... ok here is where I'm going to spend a little more time... this key lime pie was out of this world good, the custard was good, but it was the crust that made it stand out... it was sweet, but a little salty too and this made the pie crust AMAZING. Also they also have an amazing beer selection. The only downside is the parking situation. They only have a couple of spots and everywhere else has a sign saying they will tow Whisk customers.

After all the rage around town this place really delivers !! In the South Miami area hidden within 56th Ave you'll find this place before the end of the block. Met up some friends at this hidden nook my first thought was ...hmm, scarce parking this place must be good!! Seek and you shall find I'd say, Although the location offers limited parking across the street there is plenty of parallel parking. So I get there first and as I reach the hostess I notice a young trendy crowd. I put my name down and already I run into a few local foodies. We were sat fairly quickly with a great view of the open style kitchen. Already I am anticipating what I am about to eat. Finally, the food came all at once (extra points for that). Let's just say we were all happy with what we saw. The presentation was excellent, then came the taste which to me was very tasty!! By the look of my friends faces they enjoyed their selections as well. The place was a hit !!! I ordered the filet mignon sandwich and they ordered the blt. The portions were great. Dessert was offered but we had no room for anything else. As far as I'm concerned this place gets two thumbs up with me and can agree with most that this is an excellent choice !!
(4)Lissette S.
Pricey but without the wow factor, the build up for the place was substantial and the actual product was just okay. Probably won't get a second visit from my party. Food was cold when it arrived at the table and the tastes of all items was a dull dream chattering thing.
(3)Norma G.
I used to go there on a regular basis, way back when they used to be in their other location. A part of me misses the coziness of the other place, how they knew your name and your favorite dish, now even though it's still yummy is just not the same. I discovered this gem thanks to the Iron Fork event, some years ago, they were giving away some pulled pork sandwiches and I was hooked, I found out where their restaurant was and I've been a follower since then (+/- 2006). Their daily specials are different every day, there's always something yummy and new to try out. This time I gave it a try since I haven't been there in years, because I don't live in the area anymore, and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Cornish hen, it was perfectly cooked and a little sweet because it had a BBQ sauce and also a little spicy, but the sweetness of the corn hash complemented the dish. I was very satisfied with it. My boyfriend ordered the BBQ pork chop and it was equally delicious, he was happy with it. Our desserts were yummy too, I don't really have a sweet tooth, but decided to try the lemon tart, it was ok, I wouldn't have it again. And my boyfriend had the cheesecake, I have to admit even though I'm not a fan of cheesecake I would rather have that than the lemon tart. Overall our experience was good. I know this is not the last time we eat here.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I love what's happening all around the Sunset and Dadeland areas! I tried getting a seat at Whisk on a random Saturday long ago, and it was packed, but a friend and I were able to snag some seats on a random weeknight and enjoy Whisks offerings! We opted to sit at the bar and was promptly greeted by the bartender, who was super sweet and attentive. We went with the Fried Green Tomatoes, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Whole Fried Snapper and a steak dish in a delicious sauce (I can't recall the name, only the description, but it was super delicious!) My friend felt the fish wasn't spectacular, but I thought it was delicious. On the other hand, he really enjoyed the beef, and while I thought it was good, I didn't feel it was anything out of the ordinary. To each his/her own! I really enjoyed this place and I'm sure to be back soon to try some more!
(4)Marcelo L.
if you're going to serve a cold filet mignon sandwich, at least have the forethought to call it a deli sandwich. I went there on the advice of CheckPlease South Florida. I guess lots of folks must've seen the episode, and it overwhelmed the kitchen (oh wait, we waited as long as anyone for a table, so pacing shouldn't have been a problem). Regardless, it took for me to ask a porter to ask to have the waiter brought over to return my Filet Mignon sandwich back. I commend the Manager on damage control, he was attentive and thoughtful.

I went on a weekend for Brunch and boy was it packed. It's a tiny restaurant but it was worth the wait. Parking is terrible so you might have to search for a bit or get metered parking and walk. There's a bar inside you could get drinks at while waiting. In terms of food, everything was great. We had the fried green tomatoes for our appetizer as well as splitting a huge chicken biscuit with gravy and scallions. I had the huevos rancheros and my roommate got the Papa's buttermilk pancakes. Both were awesome! I also got the red wine sangria, which was delicious. Overall, the food was great and we'll be back again to try other items on their brunch menu!
(4)Alex L.
First the bad news: no corona beer and yes, parking can be a challenge. The food and the service however, are wonderful. We came on a Saturday for lunch. It was packed. For appetizer we ordered the cheese spread which comes with crunchy toasts, very good. We ordered the roast beef and Swiss sandwich with the house chips which was one of the daily specials that day, a steak salad, and a juicy lamb dish with veggies. All was fresh and tasty. $85 total. A little pricey for lunch. No dessert. We were too full.
(4)Annette G.
I loved coming here. This is a perfect small restaurant in the heart of South Miami. We (2 of us) got seated immediately and our waiter took our order once we settled in . The ambience is warm and decor is effortlessly charming. The food was amazing!!! The menu has a little bit of everything & I really enjoyed the tuna melt sandwich. This is definitely the type of place I would come back to. I just hope it maintains the same level of service and detail.
(4)Mary-Lauren S.
Their fried green tomatoes and corn bread are out of this world! I usually get their Charleston chicken salad sandwich - my all time favorite!
(5)Marie P.
No parking ! You will have to wait like 20 min to be able to find one!!! No Parking in Miami !!! Impossible ...! If you find a place with parking you found heaven ! and what about free parking ! thats impossible today !!!!! Other thing i don't like is that is toooo noisy !!! if you want to relax and have lunch don't come here ! Other than that ...the menu is phenomenal !!! I love it :) first of all the corn on the Cobb is spectacular ! Always as an appetizer !!! Every single appetizer is really good ! I have tried it all :). Gourmet food !!! I'm having some grilled sea scallops (expensive but great) ! I also love the Mango salad that comes with mangos, peppers, onions, corn and cilantro vinaigrette !!! Mmmmmm ! Very good :). The staff is really Proffesional, super clean, modern, ... They do it right ! Is a family business and they are always there working and trying their best ! That makes a huge difference. .... !!! When you leave this place you think you left elementary school ! Your brain can't stand it ... Too much noise ! They should move to a bigger place, with Parking spaces and they will get beyond 5 stars !!!!!!
(3)Dan J.
Definitely my favorite place in Miami. You can go and get an amazing sandwich for $8-9, or you can have a nicer meal of Bell & Evans fried chicken, expertly prepared fish, etc. This is a place that takes pride in every single dish. Tasty homemade sodas, menu changing on a daily basis... I will gladly keep giving them my money until they give me a reason not to.
(5)Jan N.
This place gets a solid 4 star rating. Although parking is a HUGE pain in the a** (lot is teeny, and you've basically got to look around adjacent blocks for open spaces), the food more than made up for it. And no matter what time you come here, it's busy, busy, busy! But, honestly, very worth the wait! Appetizers were off the chain - fried green tomatoes, bacon wrapped dates (the best!), and cornbread - all delicious and satisfying! I would definitely recommend them! As my lunch entree, I had the portabella mushroom sandwich with melted mozarella (yes, fungus!), and I have no complaints. My mother in law had the turkey and cranberry sandwich, which she, too, was really happy with. And my husband had the fried chicken salad (boooooriiiing), which he would never have (hates salad), but was possessed that day and went for it. Final verdict - he dug it. Couldn't stop talking about the chicken decliciousness! Two words of advice: 1. If you binge on the appetizers (as I, of course, did), I'd suggest sharing the sandwich (for a $1 fee). Because of my gluttony, I didn't get to fully enjoy my entire lunch dish and, honestly, the sandwich is big enough for two. 2. For all the parents: this place is not baby friendly! The staff was accomodating, but because the space is so tight, a stroller is just a big embarassing obstruction. And you don't want to be that person everyone is looking at as they are uncomfortably shifting their chairs so you can get by (yep, that was me bumping you with the stroller wheels). So just make sure to leave the stroller in the car, or get yourself a baby sitter! Also, no children's menu. Main disappointment: I saw pictures of their burgers that made me want to eat the computer screen. But unforntuately, I think they only make them on Fridays; there were no burgers on the menu when I went over the weekend. Boo. Overall, great spot! I loved their lunch menu and am excited to eventually come for dinner. Dale!

First of all, the parking situation at Whisk is horrendous. Management definitely needs to find a solution to the overcrowding in the lot as finding a spot usually takes over 15 minutes every time I go. Another annoying thing: Whisk only seats full parties so if one person can't find parking - you're screwed. Besides all that, Whisk is a lovely little restaurant. The service is consistent and pleasant. For appetizers, the cornbread and dates are phenomenal. For entrees, the salads are all great and the steak sandwich is especially good. The burritos are good but nothing special. I also really like the garlic-chili coconut spicy seared beef. The desert here is also amazing! I had a peanut butter pie once and nearly died of a food coma. All in all, Whisk is a great little place for a casual lunch or dinner. The atmosphere inside is lively and if you can snag a table on a busy night, I wouldn't hesitate.
(4)Amberly M.
The food is great- southern table inspired. Just be aware that they will not seat you until your whole party has arrived and there is no place to wait. Parking is also very difficult- not a convenient lunch spot during busy hours, but if you live close to walk, then it is awesome!
(3)Gaby B.
You can tell this is an amazing restaurant because it gets packed !! I have gone a couple times and it has never been empty. In my opinion lunch is better even though it is busy dinner time is crazy and it almost feels like you're in a club instead of a restaurant. Also because of the open kitchen it can get pretty smokey and hot. However that is nothing a cold beer can't distract you from The times I have gone to whisk the service has not been anything special but the food is GREAT! They have delicious sandwiches I have tried the grilled skirt steak, turkey and Brie. & the mahi sandwich, all are fantastic The hummus is some of the best I've had anywhere and as others have mentioned the bacon wrapped dates are to die for! Bbq pork and corn bread appetizer, fried green tomatoes and buttermilk chicken are all very good as are the burritos They have a nice wine and beer selection & lastly let me just say I usually don't like key lime pie, I am more of a chocolate or ice cream kinda girl.. But the keylime pie at whisk is AMAZING the perfect combination of creaminess and tart. I can't wait to go back for a smuttynose brown dog & a slice of pie
(5)Elizabeth D.
Thanks for the suggestions, fellow Yelpers. Because of you, I decided to finally try fried green tomatos, and I can't think of a better place for my first time because they were delicious! My sister was a skeptic at first too, but how could we turn down fried food? She thought the burrito was the best burrito she's ever had. I didn't really care for my grilled peach and proscuitto salad and the potato chips were a bit chewy, but I'd return to try it out again.
(3)Alberto V.
I was expecting more it's wasn't bad I guess I went in a very busy day and the food was not what I was expecting still I'm going to give it another chance
(3)Aaron A.
Another gem in Miami. Why can't Broward County have any places like this? We ordered the fried green tomatoes, portobella mushroom sandwich, sangria, and craft beers. I know some other things were ordered which we loved but I can't remember just what.
(5)Jason C.
my wife and i go here while we visit maimi in the winter, been 3 times so far this yr, we have always had a good meal, 'shrimp and grits' are the best, love the dish, 'chick wings' are also a must, staff is always nice know there menu very cool looking inside and this is a must visit for us,
(4)K C.
I'm giving it 4 stars for the ambiance! Felt like I was at a cafe in Boston..... not Miami. It was welcoming, friendly staff, loved the house wine (can't remember which one right now). Other customers eating at the bar were also friendly and complimenting my boyfriend's bald head :) Food - I was so eager to try the shrimp and grits... was ok. I think it could have used some type of sauce to spice it up, make it more southern. However, I would love to come back and try other stuff in their menu.

After my first visit as a UYE, I could not wait to return just to have the yummy sandwich I had the first time. We were visiting a friend later one afternoon and decided to pop in for a late lunch/dinner. It was great, not crowded, parking right in front. Our waiter came over and got our drink order while he spoke with hubby about the burger they had since it was Friday. I ordered the Turkey and Brie sandwich, hubby got the burger which I can not remember the name. Nor, do I care to. We also ordered a side of spinach and mushrooms. As we waited for our food, I went to the restroom to wash my hands. Had been in here before so maybe it was just a bad day but it was in very bad shape. A stainless steel garbage can with a black lid does not quite work in a bathroom where you wash your hands go to grab a paper towel and the garbage is right below the paper towel holder. Water drips all over it. Then the base boards had so much dirt on them along with the floor. The floor was in bad shape as well. The smell was a moldy smell, get some bleach in there. So our food arrives, looking wonderful. The spinach and mushrooms were heavenly. Fresh, perfectly sauteed spinach with a good amount of small mushrooms in olive oil and lots of garlic. My sandwich was just as good as the first time I had it. The tomatoes were ripe, and so fresh. The ingredients they use are excellent. Hubby's burger was huge, huge, huge, it looked like a heart attack waiting to happen. He somehow managed to devour the entire thing. He loved it. He wanted me to try it but I just could not do it. OK, had to edit as Patrick L. pointed out the burger was called " The Bresaola Burger", in which he would love to try but he is trying to remain healthy, smart choice. Service was not bad but not good either. Our waiter never came to refill our water until I had to ask. He was nice but just seemed very content with his job. And I got the impression because their food is so good and people come, service is starting to slack a bit. Four stars is for their wonderful food, in which I am a fan, especially for that great sandwich and spinach and mushrooms. I can only hope service is better next time along with the restroom situation.

Love turkey and cranberry salad and the fried green tomatoes! Friday special: burgers. They are delish, only bad thing is you wear the burger fragrance since ventilation is not great.

Awesome food! We were a larger group & were able to share a little bit of everything. I ordered a bleu cheese filet mignon, and found it a little heavy with the cheese, but mixed with the mashed potatoes, it was amazing! All of our friends raved about the bacon wrapped dates, but the grits sticks were my favorite. The fried green tomatoes weren't bad either. Apparently, the pork chop was the best my husband has ever had. The prices were pretty reasonable, especially for the giant portions we recieved. We sat right in front of the kitchen, which provided a fun view. Our waiter was just OK. Parking was a bit of a pain, but we were there late enough that we just parked illegally with no issue.

Whisk has amazing food. It never disappoints! It's a bit loud, the acoustics aren't great, but the food is definitely worth it. And if you don't feel like dining out, they have take out. I probably take out from Whisk more than i actually have eaten there. Crave that gourmet burrito....yum!

Came here for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon. This place is off of 72nd located on a small little back road in South Miami. It is easy to miss and parking is very limited. Luckily, as I made my way on the street, someone just so happened to be leaving! As we made our way in, we noticed that the restaurant was very busy. Since we had a little less than an hour to eat for lunch, I was scared that we would not be able to be seated in time so I started to think contingency plan. We asked the hostess how long the wait would be for two and she said she actually had a table! Between the parking space and an open table, I knew that the food gods wanted us to have lunch here today! For appetizers we had the fried green tomatoes (5 come with it) with herb buttermilk dressing and bacon wrapped dates(4 dates) with gorgonzola. I feel like fried green tomatoes and bacon wrapped dates are the new trend for restaurants, everyone offers them now! Regardless, these were both very good, the tomatoes were firm thick slices encrusted in a crispy batter. The dates, bacon, and cheese melded perfectly although the bacon was a little burnt. Both appetizers were not greasy at all. For entrees I had the roasted turkey and dried cranberry salad and my sister had the roasted turkey sandwich on wheat. I don't know how we ended up getting different versions of the same thing, but I guess we both think the combination of cheese, berries, and turkey is delicious. Let me start off by saying these portions are very sizable for the price, and they definitely don't skimp on the turkey. The turkey in both our entrees was juicy, tasty, and plentiful. The brie was sooo creamy and gooey in her sandwich, the only downside is that the cranberry mayo flavor was very faint. The balsamic vinaigrette was very nice and light, it perfectly coated each piece of mixed green. I felt like it was the perfect amount of dressing; Enough to taste, but not too much as to overpower the flavor of the turkey, cheese, walnuts, etc. For dessert we shared the Warm Vanilla Bread Pudding with Fresh Strawberry Compote, Vanilla Creme Anglaise & Toasted Almonds. The bread pudding was warm and moist, the strawberry compote was sweet and tangy, and the vanilla anglaise was creamy and light at the same time. I know it sounds crazy to call a dessert healthy tasting, but it tasted healthy, but in a good way. Service was great, our waitress was kind and attentive and our water filled mason glasses were never empty. Random side note: All the waitresses were pretty. Who ever is in charge of hiring did a great job! Overall I give this place 4.5 stars( but Yelp doesn't allow that do they :/ ). What surprised me about this place is that I felt like everything I was eating was healthy, but full of flavor. Nothing was overly greasy, or heavy, or creamy. Just great flavorful food that did not feel like it was going to my waistline (I doubt it is true though). This is a great place to get a plate full of delicious food without busting the bank.

Such good fresh food!! I love all their specials. Once had a corn and shrimp risotto that was one of the best I have had in Miami. This place makes all their food special and unique in flavors. Their new location is very nice. Looking foward to go back soon!
(4)Christie T.
Food is good, service SUCKS, and you leave smelling like a fried green tomato!
(2)Daniel P.
Delicious! Best mahi sandwich ever! Hey owners, open a branch in s beach!

On the search of a place to eat dinner at, I recommended Whisk to my boyfriend. I have been here two other times before and the food has been good. I wanted my boyfriend to try it since he had never been. Overall the experience was good, but the food was nothing to brag about. We had the chicken biscuit and cornbread for appetizer. The chicken biscuit is ok, without the glaze it would be ordinary. For our meals I had the pulled pork burrito and he had the fried chicken. The pulled pork burrito is huge, I took most of it home. The fried chicken was good in my opinion but Mike compares all chicken to the chicken from Yardbird and he feels the fried chicken was just ok. For dessert we had the pecan pie and after one bite I refused to eat it. I did not like the flavor of the pecan pie at all, the bacon on the pie had a strong smoked flavor. Overall the experience was ok, I don't think we will be coming back anytime soon.
(3)Kyle M.
Had a fantastic lunch at Whisk. Started with a fantastic corn bread topped with BBQ pork. Had some of the parmesan potato chips as a side. For main course my girlfriend had a great Turkey Sandwich & I got a special ordered Blackened Chicken Sandwich. Overall, the service was good, the place was clean & all the food tasted great. The only thing I thought was a little bland were the chips. Parking can be a little tough so try and go when it's slow. I uploaded 4 pics of our food. I would definitely eat there again.
(4)Lester M.
The parking lot was full and the waiting list was long so I decided to park close by and order take out. No one was gonna denied me some WHISK. I had the pulled pork and cornbread for app and the WHISK burrito. The pulled pork was delicious. The contrast of the tanginess of the sauce and the sweetness of the cornbread was a match made in food heaven. I do have to mention, the cornbread was a bit crumbly. Just a heads up if you like your cornbread with a bit more body. The burrito was supreme. Soft tortilla, beautiful whole beans, fresh avocado, and the fact that the large order includes two, what more can I ask for. The place is pretty cool, as I saw it when I came to pick up my order but I will be updating this review when I come back for a more formal sit down dinner.

Visited Whisk on our vacation getaway to the "Heat" from Tennessee. Just watched DD and D the week prior, and after attending the Miami Heat game Whisk was my second priority. The wait was long but that only added to my anticipation....finally seated, I was let down. The service was great, very fun and friendly but the food was where the letdown happened. Ribs were ok, not half the flavor I was expecting and the Shrimp and Grits fell way short as well. I'll write this off as the one day the hype didn't meet the product, but I will try it again on my next visit south.

Whisk is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. It is both casual and trendy, but does not have a pretentious vibe. All of the menu options are inventive. The ingredients are fresh and the flavors are distinct. My favorite dishes are: Appetizer: Bacon-wrapped Dates, Fried Brussel Sprouts. The brussel sprouts are drizzled with a delicious aioli. Entree: Burrito. It is made with pork, black beans, rice, and avocado. Dessert: Any of their bread puddings. They change their desserts but there is often a bread pudding option that is fantastic. Brunch: Heuvos Rancheros. This is similar to the burrito but is deconstructed and is topped with two fried eggs. They also have a great beverage selection including many beers (not just the usual selection) and great local teas. The restaurant is suitable for small groups, no more than 10. Although the restaurant is usually packed I have never had to wait more than half an hour and I am usually seated right away. The prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality and originality of the food. Every dish that I have tried at Whisk has impressed me, either with flavors or quality, or usually both. I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know.
(5)Katerina S.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS PARKING!!! Ugh. If you get there late enough, you can park where the other stores have already closed, though. And if you get in early enough, you can probably find 1 or 2 spots open in front of the restaurant. Otherwise, the food here is seriously awesome. It reminds me of this place in DC called Founding Farmers. Amazing homemade food. The vegetable fried rice is the best I've had. Soup was delish! Sandwiches are extremely tasty!! It's a must go!
(5)Jeff B.
Highly recommend! Fantastic food, great service, and the lychee sangria is a MUST. My favorite of the appetizers was definitely the fried green tomatoes - don't think I've ever had better. The shrimp grits were also terrific, though I wasn't as excited with the okra. Do yourself a big favor: get the bacon-wrapped dates. Oh baby. After all the appetizers I decided to go for a smaller entree with the fried chicken spinach salad. Delicious. Everything everyone my table ordered looked fantastic as well. Our waiter was fantastic - saucy, smart, beautiful red-haired vixen who charmed everybody. Very impressed overall and if you're looking for good, hip, low-country cooking with an edge, this is definitely the place.
(4)Food G.
Loved the ambiance. Staff was great and knowledge of the menu. Food was good. Parking is a mess, had to park several blocks away on a rainy day. Been here 2 times and air conditioning was an issue. Felt hot.
(3)Claudia J.
New location is cool!! I love their ambiance, the lamps in the bar are whisks!! how cool is that! the minimum decoration is nice, wood pieces on the walls, and the ceiling... it probably was from the previous busines,, but that is fine!! it looks nice and goes with the whole place!! Food is good all the time, it shows consistency. The only thing I did not like was that it was too noisy..!! Maybe they could minimize the noise by putting some noise absorbing sponges. It gets crowded and it gets noisy - in my opinion. Definitely a fun place to try out more items on the menu!!

I have eaten at Whisk twice this year on trips to The U. I would really hit it four and a half. Keeping it from a five are parking and space which they are unable to really control. The food is fantastic. I've had the duck, crab cakes, and had a bite of several of the burgers. All of them were beyond great. The bacon wrapped stuffed dates were also just unbelievable. It's the same way for the fried green tomatoes. The wine list is smart and the service professional and timely. We also had a very large group for brunch. Again, not one bad word because there was not one bad dish. In fact everyone raved about their meal. I highly recommend Whisk when you are near the Coral Gables area.
(4)Dina A.
My fiancée and I have been to Whisk on several occasions and it never disappoints. On our last visit I had their Friday burger special and it was yummie! I only wish it didn't fall apart but it tasted just as good with a fork. My fiancée ordered the fried chicken but was disappointed at the lack if flavor...it was very juicy but he left the restaurant wishing he had ordered my burger instead. We will definitely keep coming back!
(4)Juan D.
Homie feel, quality control, great wine and beer... Great family/relax restaurant for enjoying exquisite craft food
(5)Stacy A.
Super cute interior! Reminds me of San Francisco! Parking is difficult to find but it is worth the wait or the walk. The drinks are amazing and the sandwiches are incredible. Staff is very fun and helpful! Definitely my favorite restaurant in South Florida.
(5)Sergio F.
It almost seems like an eternity since I had been Blue Smoke burger-deprived..Well at least since they closed for relocation to the new South Miami spot. For this special occasion, I prepped incessantly at the gym so that I may enjoy yummy calories! The meal was made that much more fun by the presence of fellow Yelpers (you guys know who you are :) and our CM Maria A. deserves a special shout of thanks for allowing us to engage in our app craving. Speaking off, the corn bread deserves smile for its crumbly goodness. Add the spread that came with and you're talking Nirvana. Our entertaining and insightful conversation helped to make the meal even more special! The owner even came by our table, which was a nice touch. On to the burger: What can I say that I haven't before. Whisk is one of the few restaurants that understands a burger can be well done without depriving it of taste and juiciness. Add to that the homemade potato chips that are truly homemade and this undercover fat kid is happy. The topper:KEY LIME PIE!! ('Nuff said) (Well, not really, since I found out they sell whole pies to take out. I can actuallly buy one of these goodies to enjoy with other meals. Thank you Whisk for reopening!
(5)Richard W.
I've never been disappointed with their food. I''ve always gotten their sandwiches which are always well stacked and cooked. The flavors are always well balanced and kinda inventive at the same time. My favorite is probably the steak grilled steak sandwich. Always cooked perfectly and very juicy. However, I've noticed that their service can be pretty inconsistent. Sometimes it's prompt and attentive, sometimes they leave me for 20 mins looking at a menu. Regardless, they are always very nice and polite. Parking can be a pain here .There are obviously not enough spaces so you may need to park further away and walk in. I would come back here many times.
(4)Amit U.
come here for brunch almost every sunday - if the daily specials entice me. whisk always produces great quality food, however they need to vary their menu more and bring back old favorites like the fried okra.
(4)Roxie G.
Been here several times and I have yet to be disappointed. Food is always fresh and the farm to table concept is worth the high prices. Best appetizers are the fried green tomatoes and the bacon wrapped dates. Their chicken salad sandwich is delicious. They offer Arnold palmers in a mason jar which I truly enjoy. Only negative is parking is extremely limited .
(4)Joe F.
I heard about Whisk because my brother works there. He has been telling me about it for a while now so one Sunday I decided to try it for Brunch. I had huevos rancheros and my date had the French toast. Both meals were excellent. The food portion was excellent and we will definitely be trying this place for dinner one night.
(4)Carlo G.
What a disappointment. I noticed that this place has very good reviews, hopefully things have changed. Came here in late 2013, there was a 10-min wait, good sign. The bread and butter was actually very good. That is where things went downhill. The fried chicken with honey was drenched in ultra-sweet honey that you could barely taste the chicken. The mahi-mahi sandwich was okay, it was dry and was falling apart in my hands. The grilled corn was very dry and tasted like ordinary corn with no flavor. Disappointed, didn't order dessert. The decor was very modern and attractive though. Will give this place another try soon because the reviews are very good. Maybe it was just a bad day.
(2)Joelle M.
Umm..delicious! I've gone here a few times and can literally tell you that everything is just amazing. It's also farely priced and a rare treat in South Miami. I highly recommend the Sunday brunch too. The green tomato stack is heavenly. This place is good for family , friends or whatever... highly recommend it!

Whisk has grown up, having completed its long-awaited move to its (relatively) spacious new digs. I had been a little worried that a scaled-up Whisk would no longer be Whisk, as part of the charm of lunching at the old Le Jeune location was shoehorning yourself into the tiny space and chowing down at miniscule tables elbow-to-elbow with total strangers. When a restaurant like this expands, you have to wonder if something will be lost in the process. Will they raise prices? Will they cut corners in the kitchen? Use cheaper, lesser-quality ingredients? I'm happy to report that none of the above concerns apply. I was with a group of 9-10 Yelpers that came by for lunch on New Year's Eve to get the skinny on the new location, and aside from some confusion in getting our various checks at the end, it was the typical amazing Whisk lunch. While still not the largest space around, it's probably 6-7 times the area of the old location. The space still has some endearing and quaint qualities, however, with a large rectangular portal to the kitchen and an attractive bar area above which hangs whisks fashioned as light fixtures. I'm not sure what was on tap at the bar, but I'll check that out one day and report back. Parking was always a challenge at the old Whisk, and parking will still be a challenge at the new Whisk. Pass by the small main lot, you just might get lucky - but odds are you'll have to park at a meter in South Miami, or at a meter over by George's on the Coral Gables side, and walk. Don't even think about parking at neighboring Ace Hardware, as its lot is vigorously guarded by a rent-a-cop with handcuffs dangling humorously from his waist. Friday is the famous Burger Day, and there isn't too much more I can say about that that hasn't already been said. This time it was the Blue Smoke Burger, a large burger with smoky bacon, the right amount of gorgonzola, and mixed greens. No matter what burger you get on Burger Friday, it's probably going to be a strong contender on any serious "Best Burger in Miami" list. A salad or chips comes with it. Now, let it be said that some may balk at paying $14.95 for a burger. I understand the skepticism that often accompanies double-digit burger prices, but just order it once and then try to tell me it's not worth it - it's all quality, from the beef to the greens to the roll. Thanks to Yelper generosity, I also sampled several small plates. The bacon-wrapped dates I'd had before, but they were as deliciously smoky-sweet as I remember. I had to restrain myself with the cornbread and fried chicken, and the cheese 'n crackers plate was another thing I probably could have polished off myself if my stomach wasn't already pleading for mercy. Oh, and don't forget the fried green tomatoes. A couple Yelpers opted for the lechon burrito over the burger.......and as appealing as the burgers are, the burrito just might be even better, and it's an everyday staple on the menu to boot. I didn't have the Key Lime Pie this time. As a minor criticism, again, I wish they'd make their KLP with meringue. I know everyone raves about it as is, but I'm a little disappointed that they don't make it this way. Friendly, locally-owned and with an emphasis on high-quality ingredients, this is the kind of restaurant we always complain about not having in Miami.
(5)Greshka P.
Small, hard to find, especially if you don't know the area, very little parking, closes at 7pm... Why 5 stars? Because the food and staff are amazing!!!! Believe me, once you have one bite you forget about all these things and will be planning when to come again. I've heard so many people rave about Whisk's burgers and now I know why. This was definitely worth the hour drive we had to make to get there. Every Friday is Burger Friday. They have a different burger per week which adds to the excitement of eating at Whisk. This time it was a Sweet Onion Bacon Cheeseburger. Absolutely delicious!! Cooked to order perfectly. You can either have it with homemade chips - you have to try these - or salad. And for drink, have an Arnold Palmer (ice tea with lemonade) served in a glass jar - a cute touch. If you have room for dessert, you might want to try the key lime pie. One of ten best I've had. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Even the Executive Chef (Brendan) came out and greeted us, which gave us the opportunity to thank him for a wonderful meal. Can't wait to go back and try another of his wonderful creations.
(5)B W.
Wow! Absolutely delicious! We were there for lunch, and split the pork sliders and tuna melt sandwich. Unlike any we'd had before. Even the hot jasmine green tea was a welcome change. Cool atmosphere. I wish we'd had room for dessert; the list looked great. The only downside is the very limited parking. Otherwise, can't wait to go back again.
(5)Vivian P.
My husband brought me here for breakfast brunch. Aside from the parking, the food it's delish. I had the Eggs Benedict and Mimosa and hubby had steak and eggs. No complaints here. Gave it four stars...pricey.
(4)Sinead M.
Excellent! Had an awesome butternut squash soup & shrimp & avocado salad. Both very tasty. Only BIG issue, parking. There is very minimal. Get there by 11:45a for lunch during the week to have a shot. I would definitely go back!

There's a certain down-home cooking celebrity chef (PD) that I could almost feel being channeled in WHISK, except, WHISK is much healthier! I started to realize that my bookmarks in Yelp were growing and I hadn't been knocking off items from the list. After a long stressful morning, I figured I would try something new for a change of pace. I happened to be within earshot so I decided to try it out. When I walked in, I was surprised at the open and homey feeling. I sat at the brushed steel bar. Clever idea, not quite rustic, but I'm always a fan of brushed steel. I ordered a glass of water while looking over the menu. I was handed a mason jar with a handle for the water. Clever idea. I loved the feeling. For appetizer, I ordered fried green tomatoes. I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised at the five mini-hockey pucks with the buttermilk dressing. I'm normally not a fan of tomatoes at all, but these actually were very nice. Thanks to a Yelp reviewer. For entree, I had the Grilled & Sliced Skirt Steak Sandwich. There is always a certain pull from skirt steaks for me. Done at medium, I found it very flavorful, but my only qualm was that the tomato in the sandwich overpowered part of the flavor from the meat. Next time I will order it san the red tomato. For dessert, Key lime pie with raspberries. It was not as tart as I would have thought it to be. The fruitiness was refreshing. I'm not sure the combination was the best, but it did have good flavors. My plate was very clean when I finished it. All the food was great, but nothing stood out. That's why I have to lean towards the four stars over five. Maybe next time I will be able to give WHISK five. Only time will tell. Bottom Line: White linen and down home cooking with great flavors for a good meal. I will be back.
(4)Carlos J.
I love whisk. Everything about it. Food, Staff, everything. Burger s on Fridays are fantastic. Brunch is excellent. Desserts are great. Great spot. One of my favorites!
(5)Cassie G.
Had to go check out the new space as soon as I got back into town. I was so excited to be seated on a hightop table that provided a peek into the kitchen. It was impossible not to watch the chefs as they stacked sandwiches, grilled steaks and tossed salads. It was definitely hard not to drool over the bowl of bacon wrapped dates just waiting to be plated and served to hungry people like me. We were starving once we sat down so ordered the hummus. I've never had it here and it was absolutely delicious. For our main courses my friends got the fried green tomato salad and turkey sandwiches, both Whisk classics. I wanted to try something new so ordered up the chicken wings and they were the perfect combo of crispy and moist. My only gripe was the service. I'm used to the tiny space where no empty water glass can go unnoticed and you can ask for a side of ranch dressing without having to chase someone down. Our waiter was remarkably inattentive. Sitting so close to the kitchen, I ended up just asking a chef when I needed a side of dressing since it just seemed more convenient. I'm sure they're just adjusting to the bigger space and it will get better in time but I sure am comforted by the fact they are still serving up great food, just more times of the day.
(5)Dick R.
Just flew into town, did a quick Yelp search for someplace to eat, WHISK popped up and away I went. I don't think you could stumble across this place unless you knew where is was. Off the main drag, in a small strip mall, with very limited parking. But since it was Sunday, I assumed parking next door at the hair salon was ok. It was almost closing time when I arrived and several groups where still waiting to be seated. I jumped into an open seat at the bar and began to puruse the menu. Being a Gourmet food joint, they have limited daily specials, and all day breakfast menu (no regular breakfast for me, give me a burger for breakfast and I'll be content). So the ham, cheddar, bacon, horseradish sandwich looked very appealing. When it arrived, it was stacked 4~5 inches tall, melted cheese all over the place, bacon pertruding from outside the bun, and it tasted delicious. The barkeep told me it was the last one for the day (good to be me today). All in all, the food was good, the beer selection looked acceptable (no time to consume, big dinner plans for later) and the mimosas were flying off the bar.
(5)Marilu F.
Visited a few Saturday's ago for a nice lunch with the husband. Parking is a nightmare, but aside from this the Vibe was nice, the decor was a Country Quaint style and i really dug it. Had the BBQ Chicken Salad on Spinach and I was raving about it for days. The Homemade Chips are a fresh new twist on a played out food and the Espresso Flan is easily, hands down the best Dessert I've ever had in Miami Dade County.
(4)Danielle P.
Fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts are definitely the choice for apps! My favorite salad is the balsamic skirt steak followed by the turkey and dried cranberries! Overall great service and delicious!
(5)Ryan A.
In my opinion, this is as good as it gets anywhere in the South FL area. The bacon-wrapped dates are the best thing on the menu which is filled with unique and creative dishes that are cooked to perfection. If you haven't tried this pace, you're missing out. the only negative is the tiny parking lot. Unless you get there right when they open, forget getting a space. But here's an inside tip. If you drive past WHISK and make your first right then go right at the light and make your first left, there's a really cheap parking garage that's only a minute walk to WHISK.
(5)Monica C.
The hubby and I were trying to find a cute restaurant for a Saturday date night. I have one word for this place AMAZING. The fried green tomatoes were hands down the best I have ever had. They also have a good variety of beer and vino which is always a plus. The decor of the restaurant was cute and trendy. I had a great night for a reasonable price.
(5)M M.
What an incredible restaurant, and I cannot think of anything to compare it to in Miami.... I have been going here since they were across from Merrick Park in the Gables. Everything is delicious on the menu especially the burritos and fried green tomato (salad and appetizer). Nice atmosphere too and great service. Miami certainly needs more restaurants like this.
(5)Steve H.
Ordinarily I would take a star off for the awful noise, slow food preparation, and atrocious location, but I can't do it. This place is too good. This is what a restaurant is supposed to be. I went today for lunch. It was my first time. I'm not a fan of frou-frou nouvelle food, and Whisk leans in that direction, but I decided to give it a shot. I had the fried chicken breast with smashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was beautifully seasoned. Everything was in balance. It's not the typical Miami experience, where the chef teaches a couple of Salvadorans how to cook and then runs off to the beach while they screw everything up. The breading was crispy. The chicken had a wonderful smoky flavor; I don't even know how they got it in there. The gravy was delicious. The vegetables seemed to be seasoned with honey. They were prepared perfectly, done to just the right degree. They adhere to the trendy "put everything in a pile in the middle of the plate" rule, which is annoying, but sooner or later, that will pass. I didn't want dessert, but I ordered it anyway, just to see what they could do. They push their bread pudding, but I didn't want that because it contains Myers's rum, which is basically rat poison dissolved in rubbing alcohol. I ordered the pound cake. It came surrounded by praline icing and pecans, and it was topped off with fresh whipped cream flavored with bourbon. I did not have the presence of mind to try the pound cake by itself, but I have no reason to doubt that it would have been fine on its own. The icing was buttery and full of praline flavor. The bourbon whipped cream was truly inspired. I cook better than any restaurant chef I know of, so I am pretty disgusted with Miami restaurants. The only local restaurants I have confidence in are high-end steakhouses, but I don't always want steak. Finally, there is a place I can recommend and enjoy with no qualms. The parking is horrible, but I would be willing to leave the car at Sunset Place and walk. I'm a Southerner, and usually I'm a little put off by weird variations on Southern food, but these people get away with it. To the owners: please, for God's sake, don't screw this up. And move to a bigger building!
(5)Collette M.
I decided to take my mom and sister for a nice lunch at Whisk. Upon arrival one should take into account the tiny amount of parking. It could be a hassle and since I never find space right near the restaurant I normallu find a metered parking across red rd and pay the $2. Now for the food. We began with the fried green tomatoes and they were delicious. I could have easily have eaten all five myself. For entrees I ordered the steak salad, my mom the steak sandwich and my sister the portobello mushroom sandwhich. Everything was cooked to perfection! For desert we ordered the breadpudding which was quite small for $8 and while a nice treat it's not something I would order again. All in all the service and food was awesome. I can't wait to go back.
(5)Ari K.
Heard great things about this place but was underwhelmed. Fried green tomatoes were fair, corn bread was dry. Multigrain bread is deelish but not good enough for a return.
(2)Suzana U.
Amazing everything was delicious BLt, burger, chips , lemonade

When a place is no bigger than a bread box, has a parking lot of the same size, is busier than a one-legged man at an a$$-kicking contest, AND doesn't take reservations and I can still leave the place with a 4/4.5 experience... that takes talent. WHISK has talent. It also has really good food that's entirely worth the wait. I wasn't sold on the idea from the beginning. I had a friend coming in town and I wanted to impress. Settling on the idea of coming to WHISK, I called with the intention of making a reservation for early-ish Saturday night. No reservations. Slight twitch from me. "What's the usual wait time?" "Could be long." There's that twitch again. Make the scenic drive to South Miami, only to have a white-hair NASCAR me out of the one available parking spot in the matchbox of available parking options. Facial tics. Spasms. Looks like rain is coming, so I let my companion out of the car and I go on a journey to find parking. I finally do so... and, quarters. The meters take quarters and each quarter gives you mere minutes of parking time. Of course. I sprint to the convenient store across the way to get quarters. "Buy something." Spasms. One pack of gum later, I have coins and run back to my car. No sooner did I empty the Franklin Mint into that $&*)$ meter than the skies opened up. Torrential rain. On me. I tried running back to WHISK but it was no use. I walked in incredibly annoyed. There was no way this evening was going well. To have to work this hard just to sit down... are you serious? Sorta. Knowing that I couldn't be at all happy with the situation, my friend had a cold beer waiting and a sympathetic ear. We sat for a couple of minutes (in addition to the odyssey that I went through just to walk in) and were gifted a table. I was starving, annoyed, wet... is that cornbread? With scallion-honey butter? I want it. Give it to me! Hmm... what to eat for dinner? I've been eating like it's my job and that's no bueno for my waistline. I need something health... is that Buttermilk Chicken Salad? With organic spinach, red onion, avocado, egg, Cremini Mushroom, and honey-mustard dressing? I want it. Give it to me! Salads are healthy. OMG. This cornbread is so good. The butter... what? I need another beer. This salad is enormous! Oh... can't... eat... it... all... but... I must! Ugh. I'm so full. I can't eat anym... what's a buttermilk pie? We should get it? Give it to us! Our waitress, Alex, took excellent care of us. Not only were her suggestions useful, but through humor, grace and having been to this rodeo many times before, she talked me off the ledge and allowed the food to do the rest. While I am not a fan of enduring planes, trains and automobiles just to have dinner, I must admit that by the time I was done eating at WHISK (and for the quality and quantity of the food we ate, the prices were very reasonable), I'd forgotten my troubles and could concentrate only on the fantastic dining experience. And to have that kind of take away from me after all that? That, my friends, is some darn good food. Go git ewe sum!

Everything here is really amazing. We ordered the Brie, turkey sandwich, corn bread, wings, BLT sandwich. It was all great. Lovely atmosphere and great energy too. Every one is nice and helpful.

I have been there twice and both times the food was AMAZING... but the staff left ALOT to be desired. The first time I was in a group of about 6 people and the server messed up our orders, then gave it to the wrong table, reordered it, forgot to get it to us.... omg, we didn't end up eating until almost two hours later. It was a bit frustrating, being at that point your about to eat your own hand from intense hunger. The second time I was in a big group of about 10 people. My friend (who has been working in the restaurant industry for years) asked the server to split the bill a certain way before ordering. The food came and was, again, AMAZING! But when the bill came he had put all the charges on to one bill. My friend asked him to politely split the bill and he started to be rude to her and argue that he wasn't able to. After much discussion with the manager ( who wasn't the server - even though the server at first LIED to my friend and said he WAS the manager, lol ) we were able to split the bill properly. That took another 40 minutes. The place is really small, hot (open kitchen), and cramped. The parking lot is super tiny and the wait staff seems like they need to get their act together. Maybe it's just because both times I was there I was with a large group of people, I don't know - but the customer service was unprofessional in one way or another. I definitely plan to go back because the food is fantastic. Seriously. For awesome food I will deal with small spaces, heat, no parking.... okay. But flat out bad service? I really hope they have gotten it together the next time I go.

I lunched at WHISK for the first time this past Saturday. Parking was very hard to come by but the restaurant was nicer than I expected. I had the tomato bisque which was delicious, but rather tiny, and a skirt steak salad which was also wonderful but not enough to satisfy me. I am a notorious doggy bag-er and I cleaned my plates! Great food but meager portions.

Ate there for the first time on Saturday, and I've got to say after hearing all the hype, the food was shockingly unremarkable. Worst part is that's the good news as the service was the absolute pits. When we walked in there was an awkward gathering of people around the hostess stand, who was absent, and remained so for about 5 minutes. I joined the group and eventually realized that half of us were waiting to put our names down and half of us already had. We had to figure it out amongst ourselves who was next while the hostess just stood behind her podium. Once seated, our server showed up quickly and took our drink order. We both ordered soda and learned that it comes in cans, which means no free re-fills = lame. Having heard such great things about Whisk my BF and I wanted to try several items, so to start, we each ordered an appetizer and asked to split a salad as well. I got the Pimento Cheese Spread, which I'll be honest, was really terrific, the toast points that came with it were pretty tasty too, even if they could chip a tooth. My BF got the Buttermilk Chicken Wings, which consisted only of drummettes and no actual wings. They were cooked well enough, but were bland and forgettable. Also, it's odd to me that they are served with Blue Cheese sauce. Being that they're not Buffalo wings, it seems like a good opportunity to do something original. The salad showed up half-way through finishing our appetizers, and they had neglected to split it as requested. I believe it was the owner himself who brought it out with the waiter alongside him. The waiter informed us that he realized they didn't split the salad, and that he was going to bring us another plate so we could do it ourselves. He returns with a tiny rectangular plate and sets it in front of my BF. Absurd. The salad was decent, the Fried Chicken was light, crisp and moist, if not flavorful. The dressing seemed like an afterthought, which is really a shame, because amazing house-made dressing can really elevate a simple salad. The mushrooms still had clumps of dirt on them and included whole stems, and I don't care how organic or local they are, that's just unacceptable. About two minutes (literally) after the salad hit the table, our entrees arrived. Oh good! I get to rush through my second course, while watching my entree congeal. Seriously? My BF ordered the "Spicy Seared Beef," with sauce on the side. It arrived swimming in sauce and was neither spicy nor seared and the taste was just ok. I didn't taste the rice or the black beans he added, but the presentation was awful. I ordered the Low Country Shrimp and Grits and had to send it back. I will give them credit for taking it off the check without much fuss. However, I could see the kitchen's reaction of disbelief that there could possibly be anything wrong with their food, I also didn't see anyone actually taste it... It was simply terrible, there was none of this wonderful bacon they go on about anywhere on the plate as the menu described, and it was completely and totally void of seasoning and flavor. It was as if they cooked the grits with tap water and called it a day, and the shrimp had also received no love whatsoever. I mean, my mother's shrimp and grits BLOWS theirs away and she is not a particularly good cook. My BF says to me "well, they're just grits, how good can they be?" Which seems to be the mentality of the kitchen, and is totally unaccpetable if you're asking people to actually pay for your food. If it goes on the plate, it should be delicious. Chicken stock, Ham stock, cheese, cream, truffle oil, garlic/shallots, bacon fat, and butter are a few good starting points when considering how to flavor grits, and S/P doesn't hurt either. I also ordered the Brussels Sprouts, but received Sauteed Spinach instead, and we both went without drinks for half of our meal. Maybe the server should worry more about the customers and less about how many buttons to leave open on his western style shirt. We won't be back.

Holy homemade-potato chips! My office orders from here about once a week! BLT's are to die for (get it with their multi-grain). And don't forget to grab a bag (or 2) of their home-made chips. You'll thank me later. Ps. They deliver (although this can sometimes take over an hr if during the lunch rush)!!

The food was excellent. The service was very good. The restaurant unfortunately has some serious ventilation problem. All the fumes from the kitchen permeate the dining room.. your cloth... your hair.. your face.. I will definitely come back but for takeout.
