Great drinks and fast service. But chicken wings weren’t hot enough and lacked some flavor. I would return for other options

Our experience at Buttermilk and Bourbon was nothing short of fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious — the honey biscuits are a must-try, perfectly paired with the hot honey chicken sliders and the flavorful short rib hash. Each dish was packed with bold, satisfying flavors that left us eager for the next bite. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make our visit special. Without even being told, they surprised my wife with a little dessert to celebrate our birthdays — a thoughtful touch that truly showcased their attention to detail. From the warm atmosphere to the incredible food and thoughtful service, we couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. We’ll definitely be back for more!
