New Orleans-inspired dishes, lively lounge, and signature biscuits
"Add a Creole kick to your breakfast at this New Orleans-style spot in Back Bay. From 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays you can order buttermilk-fried chicken and waffles, honey glazed biscuits with pimento cheese spread, and a low country scramble with andouille sausage, jalapeno grits, tomato gumbo, and charred okra. Leave room for the fresh fried beignets with powdered sugar." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"Jason Santos’ Southern restaurant pays homage to traditions, and barbecue made the cut on his menu. In addition to the richly seasoned, grilled baby back ribs and New Orleans barbecued shrimp, a number of hearty sides that came with New Orleans twists are top contenders to complement the meal, such as the smoked mac and cheese topped with Cheetos crumbs." - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"With a name like Buttermilk & Bourbon, a restaurant had better serve a good buttermilk fried chicken — and fortunately it does. Get it in the form of wings, boneless thighs, or a bone-in half chicken, served in a choice of styles (Nashville hot, sweet and spicy, or with barbecue syrup or white barbecue sauce). Might as well stick with the fried theme and get some beignets for dessert. There’s a location in Watertown, too." - Erika Adams
"The original location, which opened in early 2017, established many of the bestselling staples that inform the newer outpost — notably the fried chicken and biscuits — and introduced popular items like the Aged Gouda Mac ‘n’ Cheese (a longtime crowd favorite made with aged gouda and pork scraps). It serves as the source of the brand’s playful, New Orleans–tinged approach to Southern cooking and continues to influence menus as the chef expands." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Chef Jason Santos’ Buttermilk & Bourbon is doing a take on Southern small plates. Think honey-glazed biscuits served with sweet, smoked cinnamon butter and a savory pimento cheese spread, or brisket boudin croquettes. Buttermilk & Bourbon is open for indoor dining, takeout, and delivery." - Karen Wilber
