Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bourbons offers a lively atmosphere with "phenomenal" food and "amazing" service. It's a popular spot for brunch, lunch, and dinner, with a menu full of delightful Southern/New Orleans-style dishes. The outdoor seating is a highlight, especially for those sensitive to noise. Reservations are recommended due to its busy nature.

    Asked for a high top table when making the reservation but they couldn’t accommodate. Noise level in the general dining room is very high. Service was great and food was good.

    Even though the restaurant was on fire from the holiday fest, Shane was super friendly as always…the entire staff was gracious and welcoming, including Will who had a huge party and Nate who was helping in the kitchen, yet both made a point to say hello. The food was fantastic as well!

    Rachel was amazing as always and so were our meals. Tina and Nate were gracious in letting us arrive late for our reservation (I called to confirm!) and still sat us with a minimal wait even though the restaurant and bar were both packed!

    Nice atmosphere but be sure to make a reservation as it's a busy spot. A little pricey but good food.

    Very friendly staff. Food was excellent. Waiter was outstanding. Noise level was high so conversation was difficult. The dining room was crowded so comfort was sacrificed for seating. Overall, very good food and service. Suggestion: expand seating area for comfort and add some quiet seating areas for intimate dining occasions. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Our server Kaitlyn took excellent care of us. In fact we always get great service at Bourbon's. Drinks come quickly and the appetizers and food do too. I especially like the corn chowder and the southern chicken salad. But any entree with the fried chicken is a winner. Gotta try the warm Vidalia onion dip with sweet potato chips!
