    Happy Hour Review First time I have tried Bourbons Happy which is Monday thru Friday from 3 6pm. As far as Happy Hours go I was quite please with this one and fet it was definately a step above your normal Happy our where they serve lower quality whiskey and are light on the booze. My Old Fashion was made using Old Forester Bourbon which is an excellent Bourbon from a cocktail standpoint where it was well made and nicely balanced and they definately did not chince on the bourbon and used a Luxardo cocktail Cherry to boot! Nice!! Price was $7 and for a drink of this quality is absolute deal by any standard. Aside from the Booze they also have a limited Food menu, also $7 an item, where I ended up getting the flatbread which was excellent. Well cooked with lots of cheese and a meat topping (not sure which meat but had a ham consistency about it) and was quite tasty. For 1 person this was more than enough for my dinner where at $14 dollars total for my drink and food at this quality is amazing. I guess this is Bourbons idea of an adult happy meal - Move over McDonalds there is a new player in town and he's got my vote (: Overall if you like Happy hours and dont want to sacrifice quality over price than this is a must visit. They will definately be seeing more of me in the future.

    Terrible, absolutely disgusting food! My dish looked like it had been shit on the plate, the pizza looked like it was defrosted from the supermarket, and for that money it was simply unacceptable.

    Arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and still had to wait more than 30 minutes. They were super nice about it, and to be fair, it was Kentucky Derby day, right as the race was starting. They also comped us two desserts, which was very kind. Corn chowder was amazing! The wedge salad was delicious as well. I ordered it with salmon. I had a pink margarita that was really good, too. Our server, Tyler, has been mentioned in other reviews and for good reason. He was attentive and personable the whole time we were there. Looking forward to going back sometime soon!

    Cool place with nice decor and very attentive service. Make a reservation they were busy. We opted out of brunch menu and had lunch instead. Fried pickles perfectly crispy with spicy dip. Shrimp appt was not my favorite too spicy, they do provide two slices of bread with it. On the pricier side $18 for 5 shrimp Nashville hot chicken delicious French dip was ok needed a bit more flavor Brisket sandwich was good Order truffle fries its better then dessert.

    Went here about 3 years ago for an old work trip and happened to be back in the area so I had to make a stop. I ordered the brisket sandwich was served open face style on a piece of sourdough. Being that it's brisket, the break served more like a sponge than anything else. The brisket had pretty good flavor. My only gripe would be that I feel like the sauce drowned out the good natural smoke flavor. However, it was still really good. The bartender was super friendly, always approached with a smile and made sure I didn't need anything. The restaurant itself is super clean with a large bar to sit at. No fault of the restaurant but know that you'll have to either park on the street or in a public parking area. Nothing abnormal for this area. All in all, I really like Bourbon's and will be back in the future!

    First visit on NYE. Made reservations for 8pm. We am were so surprised that the place was packed. I was concerned about weather and parking so we arrived early, checked in at the desk and had to go across the street to get a drink to wait for our table. Bourbons host sent a text when our table was ready, which was exactly at our reservation time. We sat squeezed in at a two-top along the windows. There's no coat check and no place to put coats and purses which was annoying to have to fight with all the coats at such a small spot for the whole dinner. I ordered a spicy rum cocktail after confirming with the waitress that the drink is spicy. Got the drink, it's was very sweet and tasted like peach but not spicy. She suggested a spicy margarita instead. It came and it was spiced with BBQ seasoning. I thought the rim was tajin but it was hot BBQ or Cajun spice that was smoky. I told her it was fine but it was crap. I didn't want to keep trying. My husband first ordered a bowl of corn chowder. It was more like chicken tortilla soup. No corn but corn flavor, not so much creamy, full of chicken and potatoes. It was smoky and spiced too, which made it taste more like tortilla soup. Our entrees were the Bourbons burger and short ribs. Flavors were good but nothing outstanding. The burger was nicely done and a substantial patty. There were no sauces for the burger and had to get our waitress to get ketchup. Waitress was excellent. She was on top of everything and very gracious. The dining room was very full and loud, even at 9pm. The dining room was well run and turned tables quickly. Everyone was very nice. Glad we tried it was consensus is that we won't be back unless someone asks to go. The food and drinks were underwhelming for the popularity of Bourbons. I am glad we tried it though.

    Previously we were eating around Rochester but recently came upon adorable Brighton and now we are eating around Brighton and Bourbons was our first spot. When we entered they were playing country music. While that is not my vibe, it is Southern inspired comfort food, so I get it, but thank goodness, they actually played a variety of music for all types of listeners, which was much appreciated. I rather several genres during an evening. I love, love, love their aesthetic. While they were going for comfort food, their large paintings give a distinctly European vibe with a fun rustic set of tables and chandeliers, it is quaint and adorable. I also liked the smell of campfire smoke that apparently came from their smoky old fashions. While I do not personally drink them, they are fun. The server who assisted us was very nice and knowledgeable. She did check in frequently. I guess the hit or miss might was the food, or perhaps what we ordered. I thoroughly enjoyed what I ordered where my husband was not as impressed with his food and drink. I started with the latte martini. It was so creamy and refreshing, a nice take on the espresso martini if you like a little cream in your coffee. I liked the touch of the chocolate shavings. I would order that again, so please keep it on the menu. My husband had the classic espresso martini, but it was not as good. Our gold standard is Eatally plus many other places in Michigan make a great one, so I am not sure how to make this one better but I would not order again. I also had their Kentucky vanilla cream ale, it was so delicious and very unique. It would be a must order drink any time I am here, it goes perfectly with the Southern food theme. Very light and refreshing, but had distinct notes of vanilla without being overly sweet. To eat I had the shrimp and grits and I subbed the mashed corn for red skin potatoes. It was a winner. I loved the cheese and jalapenos grits and the shrimp was nicely cooked. The mashed potatoes were nice and lumpy with skin left on, very flavorful, and the collard greens were also seasoned nicely, the entire plate went perfectly together. The corn bread was a bit dry but once I asked for a plate of butter, it was perfect. The portion was large and I had enough for a meal the next day. My husband ordered the French dip. It was small and very dry with a very small portion of meat for the price. He said the jus was good, but I did not try it. The gold standard for a beef sandwich is Portillo's, which is huge and half the price. He subbed fries for the mac and cheese. It was not great, tasted like a kid's meal mac. For a Southern inspired place, it should be great, but is was mediocre and the candied bacon was more like bacon bits, did not taste fresh. So, I am thinking, the on themed food, minus the mac, is the way to go here. The other Southern inspired meals coming out of the kitchen also looked as good as mine. Last we tried the hummingbird cake. What I like about it is that it did look homemade, like someone took a huge sheet pan at home and made some banana bread. It was not amazing, but I like that they made it and it did not seem to come out of a box. The frosting was good, and I liked the pecans. It was reasonably priced and a huge portion. I did make reservations and it was pretty empty when we arrived, but I was smart to make those reservations because it filled up quickly and was standing room only by the end. last notes, I also liked the bathroom, it was clean and had fun on theme soap containers. And for food, I guess, order that they are known for or are themed for for the best meal.

    What a great spot! Food was delicious, service was great, and the decor inside was beautiful!! This place would be great for a date, a group party, or just hanging out with friends at the bar. Everything was delicious... my kids are usually picky but had zero complaints. My wife and I split a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, fries, and a Georgia Pecan Salad. It was the perfect size (we were stuffed). My daughter had a pepperoni pizza (too big for her to finish). My son had the Pulled pork sandwich and side of Jalapeños-Grits. I would 100% recommend and return.

    AWESOME ! Service over and above what might normally be expected!…read more On April 20 while visiting daughter and grandkids in Brighton, my husband and I wanted to take everyone (daughter, boyfriend, grandson, grandson's girlfriend, granddaughter) out for a nice dinner. We were a little hesitant about finding a restaurant as grandson just started going through the process of determining food sensitivities. My daughter called ahead to check about gluten-free options on the menu as the list of what he can and cannot eat is very limiting at this time and he is still figuring things out which can be rough for a high school senior. We were seated promptly in the front window area and Shannon S. was our server. Now I don't know if Shannon was told to expect us, but she hit the ball out of the proverbial park. Not only did she suggest side options for grandson, but when questions about ingredients were asked that she couldn't answer she went to the kitchen to presumably ask chef--but she came back to the table with answers AND a binder containing all the ingredients for each menu item (no, sorry that has garlic as a seasoning; no sorry that has a sauce with onions; no sorry that has cheese). In the end, grandson was able to choose with confidence side dishes in place of the standard menu options so that his meal wouldn't mess with his digestive system--he became more of an active participant in deciding his dinner--and that his meal was one he really, really, really enjoyed. He was surprised that a restaurant would go to those lengths to help a customer. Brighton Bar and Grill was a favorite spot when husband and I lived in Howell years ago and will definitely come back to the high service and quality food we experienced on this visit.

Oddly, I'd never been to CB for breakfast before. I do enjoy their lunch/dinner options. We went there two days in a row, and both servers were very nice and attentive. I ordered the pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Those were the BEST pancakes I've ever eaten. Fluffy on the inside, crispy and buttery on the outside, with real maple syrup. I was in heaven! The eggs were cooked to my liking and the bacon was nice and crispy. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the floors were greasy and I was slipping as I walked. Otherwise, a delightful experience!
