When it comes to weekend brunching in south Florida, admittedly, diners have plenty of restaurants to choose from, but how about trying out a swanky whiskey bar?
The casually sophisticated space known as Warren American Whiskey Kitchen focuses on serving up comfort fare with a twist. While Delray’s Atlantic Avenue is well known as being a foodie’s paradise, Warren has set up shop west of the bustling area in a quieter location.
One of the first things diners see when they enter the stylish restaurant is the impressive collection of nearly 1,000 bottles of whiskey that line that wall. They offer everything from single-barrel bourbons to rare, bottled scotches sourced from all over the world.
The cozy dining room abuts a large bar that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. An enormous pet friendly patio out back offers a casual spot to dine and relax.
If you aren’t acquainted with whiskey cocktails, just ask one of their knowledgeable servers who can guide you to choosing the perfect libation. Specialty cocktails include Peachy Keen made with Woodford Reserve, Crème de Peche, peach bitters, and basil, or Casa Caliente crafted with Corazon blanco tequila and habanero infused agave.
Warren features a nice raw bar offering that includes colossal (and they do mean ginormous) shrimp cocktail, Alaskan king crab legs, whole Maine lobster, and oysters.
The Warren Breakfast is not your traditional eye opener. Instead, think two eggs served to your liking accompanied by shaved prosciutto, grilled asparagus, and a roasted tomato half.
If you indulged too much the night before, the Wayne’s Hangover Cure may be just what the doctor ordered: two 4-ounce burgers are topped with crispy pork belly, aged cheddar, and a fried egg served with a crispy hashbrown.
For those with a sweet tooth, try the bread pudding French toast made with caramel bourbon bananas and chocolate chips, topped off with whipped cream.
Their signature Damn Good Burger is just as good as it sounds made with a signature dry-aged blend, topped with melted aged Gruyere, bourbon glaze, crispy bacon, and a fried egg served on a brioche roll along with a side of crispy fries.
Other brunch items include prime short rib hash and eggs, a breakfast burrito, meaty omelet, and a smoked salmon platter or avocado toast if you are in the mood for lighter fare.
They also have a second location in Naples.
Warren American Whiskey Kitchen is located at 15084 Lyons Road in Delray Beach, Florida.
