Best WLM Reviews

Celebrated New Year's Eve at Buttermilk & Bourbon and it was a fantastic experience! We decided to dine in and stick around for the countdown. The restaurant's design and festive decorations added a special touch to the evening. It seems they had a New Year's Eve special going on, offering extra buttery bread to all customers, with the bonus of it being refillable – a delicious treat!
The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. When I expressed a preference for something off their regular menu instead of the special New Year's drink list, one of the staff members kindly went to check in the kitchen for me. The food lived up to the expectations, rounding off a great night. Definitely looking forward to returning on a regular weekend to relive the great vibes and cuisine.
I wanted to love it.. but it was not it. The menu had pretty good options and the drink was tasty but not strong. The waitress was personable but we had to call her over a few times. My food came out at different times and took a long time to get my bacon. It was a nit chaotic. The cinnamon french toast was good and came out pretty quickly. And apparently another customer saw a mouse. Was not impressed overall
I could go on about the problematic usage of New Orleans “Voodoo” here that is literal cultural appropriation and racial stereotyping against Haitian Vodou and New Orleans Vodou traditions alike. Found the naming of “Voodoo Cocktails” and “voodoo doll” imagery (they don’t exist in Haitian Vodou; and using it is just participating in Hollywood racist dialogue) extremely tiresome (nor would I be the first) but that’s on the owners who probably won’t listen nor even acknowledge the problematic nature of their brand’s imagery.
Now about the food. The fried chicken thighs were dry and meh, not quite the best nor were they crispy (I’d say Popeyes has better fried chicken than here). Even with the sauce, the dryness of the chicken lacked flavor and was a drastic contrast to the sauce. You could say the chicken was suitably crispy for someone with braces but for the average Joe, this was hardly fried chicken. The beignets were alright (unless you’re someone who likes them on the light brown side) and service was okay. Not my favorite restaurant nor should be surprised about Southern style cuisine in Boston but it was okay.
The chicken tights and the biscuits were great. The mac and chesse was tasty as well. The ribs were okay. The nachos need more beef. I will say for the chicken avoid ordering the spicy at least the first time, it is pretty spicy
There is so much to say about this place!
First - it’s a vibe! The decor and lighting make it a fun place to be.
Secondly - the food is delicious!! They serve small plates that are filling and full of flavor. The owner changes the menu up too.
Third, the drinks are unique and delicious!
Their service is top notch! Luke was our server and he steered us in the right direction for the best food choices and drink pairings.
Go!! You won’t forget your experience!
This place is amazing!!! A upscale but laid back New Orleans x tapas that will tantalize your taste buds… from the great service to the amazing atmosphere this is a must!!!
The food is I point best biscuits in the north, fresh jumbo shrimp always a blast, authentic tastes with their chicken and grits, or even get a little wild with their gator toast. They have something for every from both breakfast items and lunch and dinner.
Unwind with some of the best bourbon cocktails out there while enjoying the vibe. I personally enjoyed the throw back hip hop music in the back ground as it made for. A fun afternoon with the wife.
The viet cajun ribs are awesome although only 4. The mussels are good too. For a european stomach or lady watching her figure, one dish is enough. 3 dishes for two, we were stuffed. Not maybe dessert options.
I would really not recommend the sacotash blackened catfish. The fish was a tad bit dry but good but the sacotash soupy thing texture and acrid taste made me of vomit.
Atmosphere is somewhat romantic, bar seems fancy and parking is easy is upstairs free garage.
This was our first time in Boston and we went to Buttermilk & Bourbon for lunch and the food was amazing. The honey glazed biscuits were the best! They were fluffy and so soft. We also got the crab cake and chicken and waffles and everything came out so good. You can tell the food was freshly made and the quality was there. Our server’s name was Coral and she was very friendly and attentive. She was very professional. The restaurant was very nice. I loved the decor and feel of it. I love southern food and I am so glad we found this place. We definitely can’t wait to visit again!
