Nice atmosphere, attentive wait staff. I was just disappointed that I ordered short ribs, but seemed to have received pot roast. The roast was cooked well, but it doesn't compare to the depth of flavor and tenderness that you get from short ribs. read more

Bourbon's is 45 minutes from home, and a restaurant needs to be great to warrant that drive. Bourbon's is worthy. We discovered it by chance 2-3 years ago and have been returning since. I highly recommend making a reservation on Open Table because they're always busy. The decor is fun and somehow makes this rather large space feel almost intimate and homey--that is, except for the noise level, which is just below that of a rock concert. I prefer their outdoor seating during months when the weather cooperates. Service has consistently been outstanding regardless of where you're seated or how busy they are. On our first visit the waitress suggested their fried chicken. That was the last thing I would have ordered, because why pay for something we make at home? I'm glad I listened, because their fried chicken is quite possibly the best I've ever had. Each bite is juicy on the inside and has a perfect crunch on the outside. The breading is something special. Better yet, it's good for leftovers the next day because it heats up well and stays crispy in the oven or air fryer. I prefer their regular mashed potatoes over the mashed sweet potatoes because, in my opinion, the latter is too sweet. They could afford to leave out some of the extra sugar they're putting in. I usually sub collard greens for green beans, but have decided their collard greens are just too darned spicy (you can see red pepper flakes and there are whole and large pieces of garlic throughout). I'll try a different side next time. My husband's brisket pizza was nothing special as far as flavor goes, and it was very greasy, so I can recommend that. My daughter said the French dip is one of the best things she's had there. Her friend found the Nashville hot chicken sandwich too hot and wished he'd ordered regular chicken. On this visit we were celebrating my daughter's birthday. The complimentary slice of banana cake was large enough to split at least 3 ways. The cake itself was moist and warm--yum. It does contain nuts. The icing was meh so we just ate the cake. I had a Limonata martini, which was refreshing and well-made. From past experience I also recommend the mac and cheese. It's not Kraft, so some kids might not like it. Overall, their food is delicious, and when you put it together with the feel of the place (except the obnoxious noise level inside) and excellent service, Bourbon's is a place you should visit. read more

My bf & I met one of his friends here for lunch. The restaurant has both indoor & outdoor seating. It kind of has a fancy look to it, but it's more casual than it looks. Our server was friendly and fairly attentive. The food is southern low country cuisine. I went with the shrimp and grits, which was delicious. Everyone else raved about their food. Cocktails were tasty too. read more

Food was pretty good. Noise level was awful. We had a table of eight and could not hear each other. High ceilings maybe? Wait staff was good. read more

The restaurant's atmosphere is great whether you enjoy your drinks and meal in the outside dining area or in the restaurant. My wife and I were in Brighton for a wedding and decided to check out Main St. for dinner. We walked the strip and came across bourbons so decided to stop in. The waitstaff was very friendly and welcoming They told us that we could have a seat at the bar if something was available to avoid the 40 minute wait so that is what we had done. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about their extensive selection of specialty drinks. The food menu was great with a variety of dishes that would satisfy anyone. I had the blackened grouper and it's was amazing. This is a place to check out if you are ever on Main St. in Brighton, Michigan. read more

Always have a great experience here. Staff is friendly. Food is great! Pizza is to die for! They have bourbon/whiskey you can't easily find. Great vibes! read more

This place does not miss. Excellent meal and service every single time. The French dip is my absolute favorite.

We came for brunch on a sunny Sunday morning and sat outside; they have umbrellas so that you stay shaded. The server was very friendly, quick and offered good recommendations. I ordered the crepes on the specials menu and they were to die for-stuffed with cream cheese filling, lots of berries and a touch of Nutella. The short rib Benedict (split in 2 pictured) came with sweet potato home fries, which was a nice complement to the meal. I also got the lavender lemonade with coconut rum from the special menu and it was very light and earthy. I was really impressed with the brunch here! read more

The whole experience was great. Good service, good food, well balanced drinks. The ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend

The atmosphere was vibrant but not too loud to have a conversation. We got lucky and found seats at the bar. The bourbon and wine selection is amazing. My ribeye was somewhat tough, but the mashed potatoes, cornbread and asparagus were really good. My wife had the halibut special which was phenomenal. read more

Love the food here all the times I've been. Today was my first time and brunch and the mushroom omelet was filling and the biscuit is that came with it was delicious. I would hope that they step up their tea game to more offerings and a higher end brand and also have natural sugar for the coffee. Other than that this place is the bomb! read more

Oh we had a n ie time meeting up for lunch on a Saturday. Sat at a nice high top, had views of two great basketball games. The bartender made a killer espresso martini! Highly recommend you start with the fried pickles. They are like French fries yo! Not those huge spears you can't bite without all the batter coming off - FRENCH fries! read more

Great laid back restaurant in the heart of Brighton. Service from the bar and waitstaff was top-notch. Try the fig and pear pizza appetizer! Amazing!! Everything is delicious. You will not be disappointed. read more

Bottom of the line service takes an hour to get in when you have a reservation. Seated 30 minutes late. Ridiculous.

My wife and I went there last Saturday, the food was amazing and to top it off the service was next level. Brooke payed great attention to us and catered to our every need. Will definitely be back! read more

Our dinner was wonderful! We loved the comfy ambiance of the restaurant, and the food was first class. We didnt have to wait at all til we were seated, and then our waitress, Chelsea, met us quickly with our drink orders and a big smile.. It was overall a beautiful dining experience, a perfect end to a beautiful day! read more

Tyler M was a fantastic server, he was very funny and was great at his job! The food was JAW DROPPING and delicious. The kitchen was very fast and did a great job!!! Everyone was standing on business and we loved it. The ambiance was spectacular. Again, Tyler M was an amazing server!!! Keep it up guys! read more

Everything was amazing from the moment we walked up to the hostess stand to the moment we left as we were told to have a good night! Every staff member was incredibly friendly!! Little touches make the difference, like being handed the menu, the drinks refilled as soon as they are emptied, patience as we looked over the menu. All of our meals were absolutely delicious! Our server Paul was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! The only negative for my family was that our daughter is easily overwhelmed with new places especially if they are noisy, but once she put her noise-canceling earbuds in, she was fine! She greatly appreciated our server's amazingly sweet demeanor as she needed more time with decisions! read more

Cute place. One thing - if you're interested in Happy Hour you have to sit at the bar in order to take advantage of the specials. That's BS. If bar is full you're SOL. Cocktails a bit pricey but decent. Corn chowder was delicious - chock full of ingredients and not too spicy. Between the fresh dressing and the candied pecans I fell in love with the wedge salad. A friend told us to order the biscuits, but we were told biscuits are only available on Sunday. read more

Parking is awful, but the food is great! Had the shrimp & grits, and I'd travel a good hour to eat shrimp & grits here when the craving hits. Super, super loud, but very attentive waitstaff. I'll be back. read more

The restaurant itself is gorgeous, has a very cool vibe. The place is very loud so if you're going with a group to chat and catch up with it will be hard to hear if it's busy. Our waitress was the sweetest and did a great job. Food was just okay. I got the Mac and cheese and it lacked flavor, it had zero it was basically plain noodles tasting. My friends got more of the brunch items and no one was blown away by their meal just all kind of bland and then for the price. Definitely higher priced than what it should be for lack of flavor. I would saw portion size seemed a little smaller to then other places for similar items. We did the mimosas and Bellini which were fine but more juice than any champagne. read more

Great restaurant for brunch, lunch, or dinner! Service was quick and easy. Lots of great drink options - both unique and classic. The cinnamon sugar on rim of the apple cider mimosa was a chef's kiss! The food was also extremely delicious. Mac and cheese was superrr creamy and cheesy. Will be back soon!! read more

My fiancé and I loved Bourbons, never had a bad experience until our last visit. The ambience wasn't great due to the service and attitude we received from two waitresses along with the manager. We had two completely incompetent waitresses, one brought us water and took our drink order after a few minutes. We then didn't see her for 20 minutes, at this point we still hadn't received our drinks nor did anyone take our food order. Another waitress had been eyeing us and came over to take our food order. While taking our food order, the original waitress we had came back to interrupt the waitress taking our order to discuss another table. Something that should have waited until after taking our order and stepping away from our table. Then our original waitress brought our drinks. Sadly the drink I had ordered wasn't made with the correct ingredients, and that drink is my staple here so I knew it was off and had different topping. Someone brought the food out to us, I had already taken a few bites of the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and fries before I noticed a hair inside my chicken sandwich sticking out of the side, and a hair in my pile of fries. Eventually the second waitress that took our order came back, and I pointed out both of the hairs, she then proceeded to take my plate and said they would make me a new sandwich, but we had already been there awhile and I had lost my appetite. I asked to leave the sandwich and to take it off the bill. I did not want a new sandwich made, we didn't want to wait or be there any longer. She said she couldn't do that but they could make me a new sandwich or I could talk to the manager so we said we'd like to talk to the manager. Nate the manager, seemed friendly, we see him every time we come in. When he came to talk to us, we could barely hear his voice as he is extremely shy and may be socially awkward. He then proceeded to take my plate and tell me I couldn't eat it due to health reasons, which I understood, but he insisted on bringing me a new sandwich or one to go. I said no we just want it taken off and that he can leave the sandwich as I do not want a new one. He took the plate, spoke to one of the owners and then brought it back to me, as if I wanted it after he held it for 5 minutes talking. I thought Bourbons had higher standards, I thought they would at least treat their clients right and take the sandwich off the bill without asking, or have one made to go even if I didn't want it. The plate should have been taken to the manager and the kitchen to show the cooks immediately. We shouldn't have had to ask for that to be removed from our bill. We have always been very kind and generous, especially to the people of Bourbons, and that deserved no tip and no bill. This experience left an awful taste in our mouth, and what was once our favorite restaurant, we may never return to. I don't believe we would even be treated well if we did return. read more

Another amazing experience at Bourbons! Delicious food and drinks, and awesome service! I had the short ribs and my husband had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. We split a wedge salad. So amazing! We were celebrating our anniversary and originally had a reservation for a different restaurant in Brighton. Changed our minds last minute and so glad we did. Bourbons never disappoints! read more

I have eaten here several times over the past few years and the food is consistently great. Live in the south and few places make greens and grits better. Bartender was very friendly and welcoming but not overly attentive, which I prefer. As you would expect with the name, the bourbon selection is great, from Russell's to old forester to Pappies. They have what you would like to see. read more

The smokehouse pizza is legit! It was a nice thin crust with brisket and smoked Gouda, topped with crispy onions. Delicious! Not as easy to eat with your hands but a knife and fork make it very easy; just like the Italians recommend. But for a place named bourbons, not all cocktails are equal. I got the rosemary sour and I cannot say I would recommend it. My friend got some decent drinks like the cask strength old fashioned and that was really good. The whiskey sour needs some fresh squeezed lemon juice and an egg white; let's make that happen asap. We dined outdoors, and this place has an awesome selection for individual pours. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Great food. Great service. Love the atmosphere. Definitely worth the wait. Love the flatbread and the fried chicken sandwich.

I came here once for brunch and wasn't impressed came today for dinner and it was much better. Ordered pickle fries for an appetizer and they were great! Freshly fried with a little crispness to the batter. And the white bbq dipping sauce was good. There was a drink special for Ladies Night that was made with rum and was blueberry coconut lemonade. Can't remember 109% what it was called, but it was amazing. Seriously one of the best alcohol drinks I've ever had! Main course was buttermilk fried chicken. It was cooked fine. Crispy. The best part was the peppercorn honey on it. The buttermilk biscuit SUCKED! It was so dense and flavorless. The green beans were a little undercooked. Mashed sweet potatoes were pretty good. I was very pleased with my meal! read more

We went here to dinner with friends and it was amazing! We would come back again. The onion dip was SO good. We were slightly dissatisfied with the burnt ends. It was mostly BBQ sauce and the cornbread. You had to really hunt for the meat. But the entrees were beyond tasty! I choose the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The grits were cheesy and delicious and greens I didn't want to share, but I did . Staff was great, I was glad to have a reservation because the place was packed!! read more

This place has some of the best and most friendly staff in Brighton. Aside from that there isn't much that ever urges me to come back. Last night I had the fried chicken which I've heard is very good but was disappointed to see that $22 gets you one small boneless thigh with no seasoning and badly prepared breading that immediately falls off. We also had an order of the short ribs which definitely are not short ribs but instead probably beef shoulder. Very dry and under seasoned. This place was, as usual for Brighton, very good when it first opened but has taken a sharp turn down in recent years. If you're looking to try something new look elsewhere. And if you want good fried chicken KFC isn't far. read more

French dip was 5 stars on a Friday afternoon around 4PM. Service was superb. Pimento hamburger was so-so. Cooked perfectly as medium with pink inside and not dry but pickles were too thin and soggy. Tomato was greenhouse type and flavorless. Meat wasn't very seasoned either and the pimento was runny. Fries were perfect - hot, skinny-ish, and crispy on the outside but not greasy. I'll try somthing different next time. Cute place! read more

First time eating here and we loved everything we ordered! We had the salmon and ribs and they were cooked to perfection! Our waitress Rachel was so helpful and friendly! The place was lively and yet we didn't feel over crowded at our table, we can't wait to visit again! read more

On a roadtrip through Michigan, the Southern Chicken Salad (salad with fried chicken) was my favorite dish from the entire trip :) fried chicken was fire and the salad was fresh. Loved the honey mustard vinaigrette. We also shared an order of truffle fries--delicious! There were so many other good looking menu items we saw come out of the kitchen that also looked amazing. Hope to come back again! read more

Love this place! Paul and all the bartenders are amazing, thank you!! Sunday brunch every chance I get.
