The food is made to order and not your typical bar food it's better! I got the portobello burger with seasoned waffle fries. It was delish. The Bourbon sauce is sweet and tasty.
My husband and I visited this establishment with our toddler for dinner on a Saturday night and I seriously can’t say enough fabulous things about it. Let me start by saying the service was absolutely fantastic. I didn’t catch our waitress’ name, but she was very polite and attentive. She checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was prepared how we liked it and that we had everything we needed. The place didn’t have a single empty seat in it and there were 2 waitresses working and she rocked it. While the place was very busy, we were able able to find parking very easily. Also the loudness of a packed establishment was never overwhelming. We were able to sit comfortably and talk to each other and our son without having to raise our voices. The aesthetic of the place is really beautiful. You can really tell the owners took their time creating a comfortable atmosphere for their patrons. Finally the Star of the show was the food and drinks. We ordered cheese curds and the jumbo pretzel for appetizers. Both were wonderful. The pretzel was perfectly salted and the homemade beer cheese that came with it was quite possibly the best we’ve had yet. My husband ordered the fried tenderloin and was mind blown by it. It was very big and the tenderloin patty was thick’s and perfectly cooked. He ordered tenderloins literally everywhere we go and he boasted the rest of the night about it being the best tenderloin he’s ever had. They also have Yuengling on draft which about made my hubbys heart beat out of his chest. He also got a Laws bourbon smoked with cherry, which he also loved. I don’t remember the name of it thought. I ordered a pineapple margarita and it was AMAZING! They clearly use fresh juices to make it and not premixed margarita mix. Then I also had a pear martini, because it was on special and I couldn’t not try it. It was out of this world. Thank god I didn’t start with that because two of those and I would have been on the floor. It was so good it felt dangerous. We already agreed that we will definitely have our next date night at Bourbons. Can’t wait to go back!!
Kind of a hole in the wall, but the good was great, service too. Liquor selection surpasses anywhere I've seen around here.
Great food! Great place to have a family get together!
A nice little bar & grill. Food was reasonably priced. Waitress was friendly & helpful. Awesome bourbon selection. We tried 1792 Small Batch & 1792 Sweet Wheat. Very good. I would recommend checking out Bourbon's if you're in the area.
Very nice place with really great food! The workers are so much nicer here than other places! Definitely one of my new favorite places to go!
Stopped for lunch and was so glad we did! The food was great and came out fast. My daughter had a blast checking out all the cool Halloween decorations.
It's really a great place to relax...the Halloween decorations are over the top..very well done...food is very good. Just had a bacon cheeseburger, but it was better than most places...bacon was perfect. Waitress is about as nice and friendly as you can get. Just made you feel welcomed and so friendly... she just had great manners... I wish I had got her name. I would 100% recommend if you have never been there before. Great place to watch a game. They have many big screen TVs.
