   Went here for the Nashville hot chicken but I was disappointed as it was not even remotely hot. That said, the lobster hush puppies and chicken sliders were excellent. Good cocktails and ambiance though.

   We love the seasonal menu. Some of the staples are always in the menu. The cocktails are great. Who doesn’t love beignets?

   I caught up with my co-workers for dinner after working with them for a year. It was so fun to sit outside and have a delicious cocktail. The southern food was tasty and easy to share the small plates.

   Was in Boston on vacation and my brother-in-law who lives there said he'd be a new regular. Brunch was awesome!

   Went to get drinks and apps with friends- buttermilk and bourbon never disappoints!! The lobster hush puppies are my all time favorite menu item, possibly in all of Boston. If you love a chocolatey espresso martini, B&B is the place to go. Service was wonderful, the ambiance/decor is so fun, and the food/drinks are always amazing.

   Food was fantastic, but the server did not seem happy to be there. He was tired, somewhat uninterested in our party, and disappeared for the majority of the meal after taking our order until it was time for the bill. The other servers around us were energetic and happy with their tables in comparison. The staff actually delivering the food provided us with more service and had a happier demeanor. The meal was otherwise still good.

   Food was delicious and service was great. Small location though and we unfortunately were seated next to the loudest group. We couldn’t hear ourselves talk and had to rush out. Our ears were ringing.

    Always a treat, very filling meals and drinks. They always have Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale (a personal favorite) and their white BBQ sauce and fried chicken are excellent. And then there's soft-serve.

    Incredible! I am skeptical of places in the NE claiming they have southern cuisine, since I am actually from the south but this place was absolutely delicious!! My belly hurt but I couldn’t stop eating! Life isn’t worth living without those honey biscuits

    We sat outside, which was much quieter than inside the restaurant. We were at the edge of the patio, so service was slightly less attentive than it might have been but this was not a problem. (Servers did not clear empty plates when putting down new ones?!?) The food was excellent, all of it, and we were pleased at the reasonable prices. Also had some delicious cocktails. All five of us agreed it was some of the best fried chicken we had ever had (and we're from the south!). Nice to be able to pair it with a fresh green salad. Really delicious meal, reasonable pricing, great time overall!

    Food was good and service excellent. Table was very uncomfortable and noise level made me want to leave. I couldn’t hear my friends and have a conversation. It was like eating in a club. I was hoping for a New Orleans jazzy vibe. It was more clubby.

    Our large family party shared 6-8 different plates/items. Food was tasty, and well-presented. Would be an easier/ more comfortable to visit this restaurant with a smaller group. Outdoor seating was reason we we chose the restaurant, but Open Table reservations were only possible for inside seating for our party of 8. By phone, inquired about changing res, but were told max party outside was 6, After arriving, we saw several groups of seven seated on patio.

    Wonderful and unique for Boston. Had the spinach salad, fried chicken sliders, shrimp and grits, ribs, and swordfish. And the beignets. All was great although our favorite was the salad, sliders and the shrimp and grits. Very authentic (my husband comes from a long line of Louisiana Creoles and is very picky). They serve “small plates) which are actually very generous. We wanted to taste everything and over-ordered, but it was worth it.

    I was surprised the menu was as limited as it was. I was expecting more offerings. The Fried Chicken sliders were the only way to get a decent piece of fried chicken. I would have liked an on-the-bone fried chicken option but didn't see one. The fried chicken wings were good, but a little dry. Nothing especially special about them. The sauces were just OK, too. The ribs were over cooked and didn't have much flavor. The biscuits - which are not what you might be familiar with- were very good. I'll probably not rush back anytime soon, but when I do, I'll probably just order the sliders and biscuits.

    Took over 45 minutes to get drinks. Food was sub-par. Our waiter rarely came over - even when we went to the host and requested him for assistance. I've been before it have loved it - this time...not so much.

    We’re from Los Angeles but any time we’re in Boston, we make time to have a meal at Buttermilk and Bourbon. Service and food/drinks can never disappoint. So glad Chef Jason is expanding his restaurants which we’ll eventually need to check out the next time we’re in MA!

    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.
