Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bourbons is a lively and popular spot, perfect for enjoying southern-style cuisine and creative cocktails. "excellent cocktails" and "mouthwatering" dishes like fried chicken and Mushroom pizza are highlights. The service is "fantastic," with standout servers like Shane and Paul. While the noise level can be high, the outdoor patio offers a more relaxed ambiance. Reservations are recommended for this bustling restaurant.

    Experience and food was below average for overpriced breakfast. Will not be back for breakfast. My daughter could barely eat one of the breakfast “specials” which looked terrible and while I would have liked to send it back she insisted on me not bringing it up even though she maybe ate 3 bites. Nonetheless, not even a “how was your food” or “did you not like the dish?” from the server. If you’re going to try be an upscale brunch place and charge upscale prices, act like it by having upscale food and service. The other 3 meals were not much better. Croissant sandwich was soggy. The other 2 meals were decent.

    Our first time, over the Christmas holidays, was enjoyable, but nearly ruined by the noise level. It never fails to confound us why modern restaurants insist on a noise level equal to a jet engine. The open hard ceiling bounces noise back, and loud music doesn’t help. Focus on the food ( which is quite good), the service (excellent) and allow people to visit each other.

    Nice night out. Very noisy but still enjoyable. Drinks were good but wish old fashioned had big cube not just normal ice. Food was good. I had pork ends from app menu, too much sauce. But the rest of our food was really good. Service was excellent!

    Ordered blackened salmon, served with no seasoning and when asked why they were surprised it was missed. Only offered to provide seasoning on the side which doesn’t go very well. Expensive meal

    Fabulous time, as always, though with the holidays and large table groups we had to wait 30 minutes beyond our reservation time to get seated. The cocktails and food never disappoint so it was worth the wait! If you are a first timer, the entry way doesn't have a lot of waiting space and the bar fills up, so take that into consideration.

    We got there early and got seated promptly. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was good and priced very fair. Portions were large. Wine list offered a good selection.

    Incredible food, outstanding service but very loud. The southern fare was a great change from the ordinary restaurant fare. We’ll definitely return!

    Everyone’s food arrived HOT which is very rare these days. The drinks were a bit pricy but very good, service was great. We have visited Bourbons multiple times in the past few years and it seems to be getting better and better each time we visit. In other words, we have not has a bad experience ever. Thank you and keep up the good work!

    Bourbons is always spot on for a lunch with the girls, happy hour, brunch, dinner, you name it - bartenders and servers are the best.
