Their biscuits are so tender and tastes like butter heaven! Amazing variety in their menu, we had to order several dishes! Oregon trail was a hot as well as the catfish with the creole gravy.. Very unique. Kudos to the chef! Service of Brandy and Nancy was amazing- very solicitous, cheerful and quick! Would very much love to go back..

This restaurant was amazing! Server was very attentive and the food was wonderful. I got the Yukon sandwich with egg and my boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, they were both fantastic. Great prices and environment. It was empty when we went in but it was all superb. Very underrated and will definitely come back soon.

The food was very creative. Taste amazing, extensive bourbon selection. I got the chicken and waffles(biscuit batter used) and my wife got the biscuits and gravy with a side of grits. No complaints with the food. But the service left a lot to be desired. Waited for far too long for a server when the place wasn't close to filled. I understand it was Mothers day, but we had reservations and the place hadn't filled up yet

After reading all the reviews I really wanted to like this restaurant. Our waitress was phenomenal and was very personable. The music and ambiance were a very nice touch as well. However, the food was not that impressive at all. My kiddo got the kids French toast and it was literally a dry biscuit cooked in French toast dip,so she wouldn't eat it. I got the Buffalo chicken biscuit and it paled into comparison of the picture. The top of the biscuit was concrete and the bottom was perfect. The waitress brought a new one and they were good. The chicken was just Meh and not worth $16. Wife got the Philly sandwich and it was nothing to write home about. Like I said I really wanted it to be better, but it just wasn't very good at all.

Food was amazing. I had the 🐔 and 🧇 wife had catfish and grits, with cabbage and greens. I should have gotten that. All of it was really good. The sweet tea banged. Old Fashion was beyond good and the espresso Martini was astonishing.

What a fantastic find! We are already planning our next visit. We had brunch. We got the Fool's Gold but added on the Yukon Potatoes and Smoked Cheddar Grits. Let me tell you those smoked cheddar grits I could eat by the trough. Their biscuits are also amazing . The bacon was our least favorite. We also had screwdriver drinks and they hit the spot on a warm summer morning! We sat outside and the screened in area made it really nice. No bugs to contend with. You can also have your dog in the patio. We didn't sit inside but did go to the restroom. The inside is inviting and we will return to sit inside and take it all in. Bathrooms are clean. We really loved the staff. They are so friendly and all work together to wait on the guests. If you haven't been to this restaurant check it out!

Food was excellent. Service (waiter) was outstanding. Quirky atmosphere but comfortable. Preparation was somewhat slow and eating took some time.

I was visiting in the area for a family event and this place was suggested. My son and I had a great lunch here, the food was great, and the service was phenomenal. If it's your first visit, Seth is the best to guide you through! The ambiance was perfect for me. Low lighting, great music, and the decor was simple but very well put together. My first visit was during happy hour (to my surprise). There were certain sandwiches and apps half off. I ordered the Trail Pickins, Buffalo chicken sandwich, and biscuit donuts. The Trail Pickins was an exciting treat. The peach cobbler jam and creole gravy were a hit for me! All of them were delicious, but those were my favorite. The peach cobbler jam tasted exactly how I imagined, and the creole gravy had just the right amount of spice and seasoning. I usually find cajun/creole food to be over seasoned. This was just right! The buffalo chicken sandwich hit the spot. It is suggested to be eaten with a fork, please accept the suggestion. The chicken was very tender and juicy and was a lovely combination with the house made pickles and buttery biscuit. Lastly, the biscuit donuts were very good to my surprise. They weren't too heavy or dense as one may suspect, they were very fluffy and paired extremely well with the honey dip. The next day, I stopped by with more family members. This time, I ordered shrimp n grits! The shrimp were cooked just right, and the grits were nice and creamy, and of course, the creole gravy was the icing on top! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this establishment and hope to visit the next time I am in town. Thanks again, Seth, for the wonderful experience!

The biscuits themselves are pretty good. But it's the dozens of clever ingredient combinations on their loaded biscuits that makes this a worthy diversion three miles off the nearest interstate. The different gravies are okay, but the fried chicken is the real highlight of any topping I've ever sampled here. And the seasoned potato wedges are some of the best I've eaten in my lifetime! Get them! The service is excellent here as well.

At the bar on a sat morning! Great way to start the day. I have been here several times. Coffee is point and the mimosas are quite tasty. Laid back atmosphere will a friendly wait staff, the bartender today was on point with service. A very cool place for brunch! Check them out!

Let's start by saying, Cincinnati truly lost a gem. My first visit was when they were located downtown Cincinnati. I had been looking forward to returning when I made it back to Cincinnati only to find out they had moved to KY. They make the best biscuits I've ever had (Kitchen Social, second)... buttery, soft, crumbly interior with crisp edges. Chef's kiss. I've only had the Yukon. The fried chicken breast has a delicate seasoned batter and juicy all-white meat inside. Breasts can easily be overcooked but this was perfect. The potato wedges that accompanied served hot with a Cajun seasoning. Obviously, not a light meal by any means but delicious, nonetheless. I ordered an old fashioned and it was also good. Sadly, I don't frequent Union, KY often so wouldn't frequent as often as I'd like but maybe that's a good thing. Lol.

Stopped in for my favorite which is the Oregon Trail. My girlfriend got the waffle with shrimp and grits and she loved her food. The Oregon trail is gluten free and vegan without the chicken and full of vegetables! It's by far my favorite item on the menu. Not pictured is the buffalo soldier that my other friend had and he said it was bursting with flavor. We were all satisfied and had great service!

Incredible! First let me say I'm not from the area. This thing called Goetta? Why is it not served outside Cincinnati. I lived it! Great service and food was awesome. Biscuits were soft and tasty and great gravy too. Fried eggs were perfect. Have to stop here!

So many stars, I don't know where to start. Saw this place on Yelp - gave it a try for my birthday, and was not disappointed. Three hungry dudes came in for brunch and we couldn't decide between Gold Shoes and Trail Pickins, so we got both (if you thought 7 biscuits between three of us was enough, think again). We especially liked the Creole and Goetta gravies. The Peppercorn one was just okay. The pickles in the Trail Pickins were fantastic - as were both jellies and butter. I kind of scoffed at the jelly/butter assortment (do people really get this?) - answer: Yes. And you should too! The entrees were also fantastic. I think the consensus among us was we would all get the Steak and Eggs if we came back. The Oregon Trail was a healthier option for sure - the shrimp and grits were great too - but man, that steak with chimichurri was fantastic! We also got a dessert, but that may have been one too many biscuits for us. It was a birthday splurge, but probably not again - just because we were so full from the appetizer biscuits and the generous portions in the entrees! Service was excellent. We sat outside - wait staff was attentive and make good recommendations for it being our first time. We definitely want to come back soon!

OMGoodness!! This was worth the drive and wait (be patient, I promise it's worth it). The Fools Gold entree was served hot on a cute cast iron plate cooked to perfection. Hands down the best biscuits I have ever had, I chose the sawmill gravy with garlic that was delicious . I ordered Biscuits, Donuts and Bread Pudding to take home...I can't wait to come and visit again.

Got to make a return trip here with family this evening. Their Oregon Trail meal is wonderful and so packed with vegetables and full of flavor! My husband really enjoyed the Sifters Shrimp and grits skillet as well. Haley was a great server and kept our water full, a busy job on a hot day! The atmosphere was conducive to visiting and the staff were all friendly and helpful! This was my 3rd time here. Will return again!

Over all great. Really good selection of drinks and food. I had the Yukon add egg. Was a good sandwich my only issue was there was hardly any sausage gravy on it. Would be a 5 star if there was more. The cheesy grits and Parmesan garlic fries were amazing though 10/10.

We have been to Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey 2x now - it's a great local spot! On this trip we ordered: Rosewood Sandwich: tons of flavor - really happy I chose this sandwich! My only complaint was the fries - they were so salty I could barely eat them. I did share feedback with the manager and they confirmed something had went wrong in the kitchen & comped the sandwich as an apology. The Mother Load: chicken & biscuits.. you can't go wrong! Not pictured: biscuit donuts.. must have! love that the texture is crunchy on the outside, but soft & fluffy on the inside. **Really appreciate the manager hearing feedback on the food without insult & taking action to fix it immediately! The staff did such a great job during our visit and deserve recognition!

My fiancée noticed Boomtown when we recently visited the Union Kroger. We tried Boomtown for dinner this evening. Wow! Their food was great! I had the prime rib meal and she had the black catfish. My prime rib was cooked perfectly, the seasonings were delicious and it was the thickest cut of prime rib that I've ever ordered! Her black catfish was seasoned and cooked well! The ranch dressing on the salad had to be homemade and was delicious! We ordered drinks. The Tillman's Apple cocktail was sweet and tasty! And the bread pudding king cake topped it all off with a sweet ending...delicious! We met and spoke with the manager and also chef Jeffrey. He's from louisiana...should I say more? Everyone was friendly! It's a small restaurant but inviting and cozy. You will definitely want to get there early...there were people waiting when we left at 7. I definitely recommend this place for a great dinner! We'll be back!

If you haven't been to Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey, here's your sign to make the trip. Amazing, amazing food. And this is coming from Louisianian's who know good food. Chef Jeffrey is from Baton Rouge, LA and crafted an amazing menu full of flavor that will make your taste buds soar. You absolutely can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The grits are something to write home about. The saddle is on a French toast biscuit with short ribs. Juicy and will be dreaming about it in the future. Go ahead and add this as a place to stop and eat brunch! It's drool worthy and we're already talking about stopping back by this afternoon for their bread pudding desert.

Pretty good stuff. I dig biscuits, but this drop-style version may not be what you're used to.... these aren't round fluffy biscuits, they're more like savory cookies and crispy around the exterior. Still plenty tasty! Accoutrements include blackberry jam, honey butter and house-made pickles. The chicken biscuit sandwiches seem to be a popular order. I went with a breakfast plate with eggs, potatoes, sausage gravy and a slab of goetta (a specialty sausage specific to this region and made with pin oats). A satisfying meal. There's also a full bar here, heavy on the whiskey, never letting guests forget they're in bourbon country.

A friend of ours from Independence told us about this restaurant. We made the drive from Cincinnati on a Sunday afternoon. Our party of 3 was seated at the bar. We were waited on by Devin. We opened with The Gold Shoes biscuit trio. Three incredible (INCREDIBLE) biscuits with a sampler of 3 gravies (goetta, peppercorn, and sawmill). How do they make the biscuits that buttery and rich? The gravies were excellent too. The goetta gravy was particularly delicious. Our party had The Barnyard Chicken sandwich, The French Dip sandwich and the Yukon chicken biscuit. The Yukon came with cheese grits, and the sandwiches came with fries. Every single item we were served was three thumbs up! Devin was a gracious and interesting host and we also got to meet Chef Jeff. The place is loud and they should make no apologies about that. The bar has an incredible selection of bourbon (it's Kentucky and has "Whiskey" in its name). I have a few selections in mind for our next visit. And all three diners were impressed and happily stuffed.

First time going here, and they had a great selection on the menu. I had the Boomtown wedge salad and a side of mac and cheese. They were not at all stingy on either one of them. My husband got the mother load, aka chicken and waffles, as well as biscuits & Sawmill gravy with a side of eggs and bacon. Definitely worth every bite. Our server was awesome and helpful with our first-time menu questions. Definitely recommend the food.

Just believe me when I tell you....go once, don't read and dissect the menu! Be adventurous and you will love EVERY bite! My husband and I both had their weekend special, Lamb Hash. The way the chef combines flavors is like a piece of art. Not just the presentation, but textures and flavor. The shredded lamb mixed with lamb sausage was incredible, but you add sweet potatoes, radishes, sliced jalapeños and top that with sunny side up eggs and tzatziki sauce......I'm NEVER speechless, but I can't think of an adjective that would do his dish justice!! His wedge salad dressing was the perfect thickness and there was no doubt it was house made!! We shared the salad, but having left overs is never a bad thing either! Now, for their Bloody Mary!! It's perfection, like I stated before. Devon was so attentive and saw my garnish was eaten quickly, so he came out with another garnish of havarti and cucumber! Customer service never disappoints here!! I truly thought the restaurant had been open a long time, because the vibe felt like a place you've been to for years. I've already made plans with my friend to come for her birthday!!

Lots of love for these biscuits and the very talented chef behind them!! We moved to the Florence-Union area earlier this year, and had the best surprise when we discovered a second location of Boomtown was just five minutes away from our home! Bummed that the original Pendleton location closed -- but we consider ourselves lucky that we can dine at the closer location to us anytime! We've tried just about everything on the menu at this point. My favorite is the Rhine Poutine -- it's arguably the best poutine in Greater Cincy! My fiancé's go-to is always the Yukon -- because you can never go wrong with fried chicken on a biscuit. We also always start with an order of Trail Pickins, and sometimes even take an order to-go because these biscuits are THAT good. We also adore the biscuit donuts -- what a fun dessert to an already delicious brunch. An honorable menu mention has to be the Oregon Trail. I order it as is (without chicken) and it's an absolutely delicious array of crispy veggies and memorable flavors. My dad is not a biscuit person ... but we brought him here when he was in town anyways to see if we could change his mind. And sure enough, while we were dining, he uttered the words, "These are the best biscuits I've ever had!"

The food is okay but overpriced. The service was slow. The decor was cute. I just feel that for the price, we could do a lot better elsewhere. I will most likely not return.

Yuk. The food did not taste good at all. I had the Steak & Eggs. The steak had a funny taste and seemed to be the cheapest cut one could get. The eggs had a weird taste. The Brussels sprouts also had a weird taste. They were overcooked, too sweet, oily, and almost had the flavor of coffee in it. It's almost like the cook is not cleaning the grill and leaves the oil from whatever he cooks on it - chicken, beef, fish, whatever. The meal also left a metallic aftertaste in my mouth.

This place was a little slow so a little nervous. I would say slow down on that thought. The food was strong and very flavorful. I have biscuits and chicken incredible. The smoked grits are a 5 out 5. The bread pudding was incredible. My server suggested that I eat this first hot because it taste better. I followed her instructions and she nailed it.

I was initially skeptical of Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey given that the pictures of the biscuits seemed to show dry and dense drop biscuits, but was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We stopped in at around 11AM for brunch and were quickly seated at the bar. I think there was only one or two tables free in the restaurant at the time; seems like a pretty popular place. We ordered two dishes: Gold Shoe w/ Over Medium Eggs and Goetta - I'm certainly no Goetta expert (in fact, this was the first time I've had it) but I thought this was fantastic. Nice and crisp exterior with a fall-apart but not mushy interior. The taste was meaty but reminiscent of oat. It's like a much better version of meat loaf. The meal came with two eggs which I got over medium; they were cooked perfectly. Also two drop biscuits and sawmill gravy. As I mentioned above, I was extremely skeptical of the drop biscuits. But after eating them, I found that the exterior had an oven baked snap to it and the interior was buttery and still quite fluffy. For a non-laminated biscuit, this was extremely good. The sawmill gravy, on the other hand, was a bit of a disappointment for me. I found that the sweetness and milkiness of it drowned out the savory and peppery notes. I think I would request to get a different gravy next time. The Rhine Poutine - These were heavily paprika spiced and salted yukon potato wedges covered with thinly shredded smoked cheddar (although I didn't taste any smoke), goetta gravy, and green onion garnish. Also a slice of pan fried goetta on top. The goetta gravy really makes the dish. The potato wedges stayed crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, even when covered with gravy. The components of the dish were very well balanced. I did find this to be a little oversalted, perhaps removing the initial salt application on the potatoes would solve this?

Today I went to boomtown biscuits for the first time and I will be back! Our server Seth was amazing, explained everything on the menu and was extremely nice. I love the restaurant itself, so cute in there. The food was delicious, the biscuit appetizer with the different sauces was amazing. I got the fools gold and the eggs were hot and the geotta was to die for. Not to mention the biscuits and gravy. I love this place and will be back!

Can a restaurant be your spirit animal? If so this one is mine. I was watching Snack vs Chef and one of the Chefs had a restaurant "Biscuit's and Whiskey . I knew from that moment that I needed to eat (and drink) here even though I found out I live over 3 hours away. Luckily it's only 20 minutes from the airport so next flight we decided we would stop in and eat. The menu is amazing. I wish I could eat my way from top to bottom. We only had room for the Trail Pickens before our flight and it was a good mix of sweet and savory. We are planning a site seeing trip this summer so I will be back!!!

Brunch happens to be one of my love languages and it's nice to be able to speak this language with a flight of mimosas close to home. I had the shrimp and grits and BAM all the flavor! I did think I could have gotten just a little bit larger of a serving for the price but overall the food quality was spot on yummy-I'm-my-tummy-delish. Next time I will try the steak and eggs with brussel sprouts. Mmmmmm

It's an oddity for sure. The hours alone are head-scratching. For a place that has "whiskey" in its name, they keep very unusual hours - closing at 6 or 7 pm. Maybe this is Covid/staffing-related? I had read about this place and its well-known chef so added it to my bookmarks for my next trip home. We attempted an early dinner on my first night, but it was closed for a private party. My mother and I went back the next morning for breakfast - which again is weird because looking at the menu, while there ARE breakfast choices, it's really not a breakfast-centric joint. It was crowded on a Saturday morning around 10 (right after they opened). It is also LOUD. Much too loud. Part of that is owing to the nature of the room - all hard surfaces and nothing to soften the din. But the other part of it is the hard rock music that is playing LOUDLY in the morning. Now listen, I am a HUGE KISS fan, and hearing "Love Gun" anytime is usually A-OK with me... but I'm not sure it's the right thing for a breakfast crowd in Union, Kentucky. In general, I loved all the musical choices, but it's not appropriate for the room. Or the time of day. I didn't see anyone drinking whiskey with their biscuits, but there were biscuits at every table. My mother ordered the FOOL'S GOLD (Two Biscuits, Two Eggs, Bacon, Sawmill Gravy - $12) and confirmed that the gravy was on the side. It was. I made a plate out of sides... a scrambled egg, bacon, smoked cheddar grits and a biscuit. Oh, and jam. More on that later. The biscuits are pretty good. They're not the best you'll ever have and they won't remind you of grandma's, but they're OK. The bacon we both received was awful. Not in the least bit crisp. We didn't eat much of that. I tried Mom's gravy and it was OK... mostly it tasted like flour. My smoked cheddar grits were good and if you're going to go here, I'd recommend those. Here's something else... if you want butter with your biscuit, that'll be $1. Want some jam? That's another buck. I kid you not. What's up with that? Hey, I live in Los Angeles so I've seen all kinds of crazy shit on menus, but that's pretty nuts. I went ahead and sprang for the $1 side of jam and it was... basically the same size/taste side of jam that you'd get for free at any IHOP. I don't get it. This isn't the worst food you'll find in Northern KY to be sure. But there are a LOT better breakfast/brunch places. And better biscuits to be sure. With butter and jam - natch.

I am so happy I finally got to eat at this stupendous place. We decided for Sunday brunch and this place is ideal. I ordered Gold shoes. Love the name. It's a flight of gravies for their scrumptious biscuits. I got the goetta gravy sawmill and mushroom. The goetta was my favorite so full of flavor. My friend got the fools gold which is two biscuits two eggs gravy. The biscuits they make are light and fluffy and so good. I will be back to try a sandwich or shrimp and grits.

Have been looking forward to trying this place and finally was over that way. Glad we did. Great biscuits that aren't heavy but not too light. They do a biscuit flight with a choice of 3 gravies. Since the gravies are used in a number of their dishes this is a great way to preview them. Food was good, service was good. We both really enjoyed our meals and look forward to going back.

What an incredible experience prospecting at Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey!!! Seth was our server and truly the best service I've experienced in the greater Cincinnati region! From the time we were seated, welcoming, friendly let us take time with the menu. We started with biscuits & jams/jellies & butter. The biscuits were warm came right out of the kitchen about a minute after we ordered . My Dad enjoyed a Bloody Mary, which they make their own mix, but note it's spicy. I enjoyed a mimosa flight with 3 selections: traditional orange juice, blueberry & peach. Then the main dish If you're wanting a traditional egg biscuit and bacon go with the Fools Gold, Mom went with French dip sandwich with Parmesan fries huge portion and me with the buffalo soldier I've had it at the other location it was just as good that buffalo chicken and melted blue cheese is to die for. What a wonderful brunch today and Seth took care of everything seamlessly hot coffee even with a to go cup for my Dad. Make your way to Union for an incredible experience at Boomtown!

This one is for Seth! We've been there a total of 3 times and the time between was very staggered. Each visit we felt like the most important people in the dining room; Seth took his time to explain the menu and advise of things that were new and trending. I have to say that I'm not an avid biscuit eater but every time I've visited I had to have some biscuits! They have an appetizer that comes with a variety of sauces--you can't miss out on the homemade butter. I've had something different each time I've gone but the most recent order might be my regular order from now on. The Prime Rib entree was phenomenal, the meat just melts off the bone! We also ordered the Grubsteak, it was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was so fragrant. Now let's talk about the good stuff--alcohol! I know every bar says they make the best Old Fashions but truly Seth can wrangle them up properly that I always have a couple while I'm there. He's great at fulfilling requests for cocktails off menu as well. That week they had this strawberry margarita special but I don't care for tequila, he made me a banging Strawberry Bourbon Sour, yup that's what I'm calling it. They also have a great collection of whiskey. Seth can't wait to see you again, you're such a patient and kind soul!

So I've been here twice. The first time the food wasn't great tasting but I like giving places two shots. So I go a second time for their rib special. It wasn't so special. They were really dry. I can say the drinks were pretty good. They have really nice and attentive servers.

After seeing Chef Christian on the Food Network, this was instantly added to my must-try list. We arrived a few minutes before the rest of our party, and the hostess told us that we needed everyone there to be seated so we politely stepped aside to wait. Then the manager came out and saw that we had a baby with us and immediately sat us at our table while we waited for the other couple to show up. We were seated at a quiet table and the food was fantastic. The biscuit waffle was savory and delicious and the fried chicken was some of the best I've ever had. We also tried a few of the gravies, and my favorite was definitely the peppercorn. Out of our entire party, not a single one of us could come up with a complaint from our visit. Can't wait to go back and try something new!

I was so excited to try this place while on a road trip recently. I drove out of my way to get there, and spent four hours driving and craving the biscuits and gravy. I walked in excited and then reality set in. Needless to say, we left very disappointed. They advertise a vegan gravy, but they had none that day and we were there around 10 a.m. It wasn't because they were sold out, it was because they had not made any. So, I ate a biscuit, and then left to continue our road trip, still hungry. The server informed me that I got lucky because they had pork free biscuits that day, since it was lent. Apparently all the other days of the week, the biscuits contain pork. I instantly questioned why it isn't mentioned on their website or menu that their biscuits are made with pork. I would have skipped this place altogether. Had they not been out of the gravy, and had it not been lent, I would have ordered a biscuit with vegan gravy, unaware I was eating pork, and I would have been sick. Very sick. I also questioned why they didn't have the vegan gravy the day that they actually had pork free biscuits. It made zero sense to me, and I was irritated that I drove out of my way, to leave still hungry. I can't wrap my head around why this or any company would operate this way. A vegan gravy on a pork biscuit, means it isn't vegan. Adding pork to biscuits and not openly disclosing that, is irresponsible. Why on earth would any restaurant eliminate a customer base by adding pork to all of their biscuits? There are people with dietary and religious restrictions who can't eat pork. They did try to sell me this kale and sweet potato dish, and I did try it. I took two bites and sent it back. It tasted like over salted kale and sweet potatoes. It was nothing special, and not what I drove there to eat. I doubt I'd ever return to any Boomtown location, and will reconsider driving out of my way to dine while traveling in the future. This place was a let down. Definitely not impressed.

Service is absolutely great; food is better than any food locally and that's a fact. This restaurant does not get the credit it deserves. It is a repeat stop for us frequently.

One of the best brunch places in the greater Cincinnati area! Everything is great! Definitely need to try one of their biscuit dishes and a Bloody Mary.

First time eating there. Had lunch and it was delicious, every bite. Everyone that worked there were considerate and caring. I lived that it was family owned. I will be back soon.

I've been a huge fan of this place since it was in Pendleton. They always gave my daughter a free biscuit w/jam without even asking. The Union location is actually even cooler. The bathroom design makes me wanna use the bathroom so bad, but I never have to when I'm there. But I go to wash my hands, and it's pretty fun. Hopefully I can blow that bathroom up next time I'm there after some shrimp and grits. Shooooooootzzzz
