   Perfect location. We sat outside on July 4th and it was just lovely.

   Food was great but it was really hot in the restaurant and I was sweating the whole time. Other than that the service was good and the playlist they were playing was 🔥.

   I must admit that I regularly rely on reviews from other diners, but rarely take the time to write reviews of my own (good or bad). I’m trying to do better! My experience at Buttermilk & Bourbon compelled me to make this a notable exception. In a nutshell: Buttermilk & Bourbon wins the “prize” for the largest delta between my expectations and the reality of my experience. My wife and I visited the restaurant as one stop on a holiday weekend in Boston, focused largely on checking off spots on our culinary bucket list. Great reviews of the food, service, and ambiance at this spot got our hopes up high, but this place managed to crush every hope of an even decent meal. For example: what subspecies of chicken has one leg, one wing, and three breasts per half? (I suspect this strange hybrid made it to our table because they preserve the thighs for a separate “all thighs” option.) I sent the mutant bird back for the “all thigh” option, but it never made it off of my bill.

   Drinks were delicious, and the food was superb. I grew up on gulf shrimp fresh caught in Pensacola, and the shrimp cocktail was perfectly cooked with great sauces. Save room for beignets.

    Great for New Orleans-style Southern cooking. Loved: the biscuits and shrimp and gritz Good: the lobster/corn hush puppies Not my favorite: the crab salad lettuce wraps and (slightly dry) Nashville boneless hot chicken thighs Also loved the beignets for dessert, and the Hurricane packs a punch!

    Great food. Good service. Busy. Tuesday night. 6pm. I’d booked (on open table) a regular table inside. I advised them my son was in a wheelchair. When we arrived, it was evident there was no way a wheelchair was getting to the regular inside tables. The front desk guy was clearly busy and stressed. He was on the phone and didn’t want eye-contact! I’d explained about the wheelchair thing and he just said “yeah, your’e outside” and took another phone call. I was then ushered upstairs to the outdoor patio on the corner of Dartmouth and Commonwealth. It was not a good first impression. However, everything from that point on was great. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and helpful. Food (fried chicken thighs, smoked trout toast, mac n cheese, devilled crab lettuce wraps, raspberry biscuit pudding) was superb. Cocktails were delicious and overall value was good. We’re looking forward to coming back. There were many menu items we still wanted but didn’t have the room.

    We had an amazing time! We came here for my best friend's birthday and it was our entire party's first time here. Everything we ate was delicious! The drinks were on point and our server was so awesome even though we were there until closing for Brunch. He was so calm and friendly (we had some hiccups on our part with our food orders). He even brought out a special dessert for my bestie! I was not expecting this at all and that made us so happy! I wish I remembered his name because I definitely want him to get credit for his amazing service!! We will certainly be back for sure!

    Average food. The hash was basically nothing but potatoes with poached eggs. The AC was broken and the dining room had reached 82 degrees at mid-morning. Very unpleasant and no apologies and not even a water refill.

    BBQ shrimp and chili grits were very good, the biscuits are more like muffins, heavy but very good. The Nashville style chicken was just average and the chicken sliders were also average and overcooked. The atmosphere where we were seated was very dark and kids were yelling next to us. There is a choice for outdoor seating which looked very nice. Overall it’s worth a try.

    Ordered beef sliders, chicken wings, and BBQ shrimp. Burgers were almost raw inside (asked for medium), wings were overdone with a terrible sweet and spicy sauce, shrimp and grits were good. They redid the burgers (still not medium but better), and took the wings off the bill as they were too bad to eat. Service was good, but the food was not up to its reputation.

    Food was excellent, loved the alligator fries and biscuits. Our server was very friendly but there was a lack of attention to detail. He immediately greeted us and took a drink order but didn’t see him again for about 20-30 min. When our appetizers came we had no napkin, utensils, or plates… we literally had to have get up from our table to get anyones attention to get what we needed.

    Some stars (lettuce cups with crab salad and avocado) and some mediocre dishes. Hot honey glazed chicken was almost burnt. Lobster hush puppies were pretty good — the corn custard was the star of that dish. Great location, but outside terrace furniture and brickwork floor was not in the greatest condition. Waiters were bored and spent a lot of time grumbling (we were seated next to a serving station).

    As soon as we got there the host was very rude, didn’t say hello, just brought us to our table and didn’t say anything. The food was okay. The chicken sandwiches were a little burned and the food lacked seasoning like salt. Pictures looked good online but definitely won’t go back.
