absolutely love Bourbon's Kitchen in Middletown! My husband took me there a few days ago to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience. He ordered a burger and said it was amazing--perfectly juicy and full of flavor. I had a chicken pasta dish that was very good, and we shared the roasted Brussels sprouts as a starter, which were absolutely delicious. Our waitress, Micky, was truly amazing--friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel extra special. The service here is consistently fast and welcoming, which is one of the many reasons this restaurant has become one of my favorite places to visit in Middletown. Highly recommend! read more

Bourbon's Kitchen - Truffle & Gouda (burger but subbed grilled chicken) - Bars Near Me - Middletown, Ohio

Overall, a nice experience. It looks small when you walk in, but there's a whole other large dining area to the left that you can't initially see. This main room & bar when you enter the restaurant feels more updated. Server was very attentive, food was delicious. Restrooms seemed a little dirty. read more

We stopped in just before a regional high school playoff game, and the place was packed with great energy. Even with the crowd, the staff was quick, friendly, and clearly focused on customer service The old-fashioned cocktails were top-notch, and the bourbon selection was one of the best I've seen around. The wings were crisp and flavorful, and the burgers were outstanding, I highly recommend the Truffle and Gouda Burger It's easily one of the best I've had in a while. An awesome little spot for good food, great drinks, and excellent service before the big game. Highly recommend! read more

Foods always great. Get the Bernie Mac one of the best burgers I've ever had. Highly reccomend

Stopped in for a quick dinner. We absolutely adored the Broasted Grippo wings, sooooo yummy! Shrimp taco were a little on the watery side and could use more flavor they were a little bland. We sat at the Bar and received excellent prompt service. Would definitely come back for those Grippo wings, they were perfectly tender inside yet crispy on the outside. read more

Cute little hybrid restaurant/bar. Food looked good. Bartenders were lovely. Stopped in for a drink. It's a long, skinny building. Sat at the bar, order drinks. Sipping away when all of a sudden, it felt like they'd turned the heat on. One of my restaurant peeves (and this is on the patrons as much as the restaurant workers, to be fair) is when there's a line/wait and people stand holding the door open, letting all the cool air (or heat) escape. With no regard for anyone else's comfort, this group of gals was standing in the door, fantasying about strapping on the feed bag. I got up, walked over to the hostess stand, asked if they were planning on asking them to close the door, and when it became apparent they were not, I did it myself. Have some class. Wait your turn. Just like I did, except I didn't sacrifice anyone else's comfort. read more

Excellent!! Wish it were closer to us!! Salads were spot on! Garlic bread with pesto - AMAZING!!! and the house made meatballs were yummy!! We also had the famous Gouda onion burger - WOW!! Hands down best burger EVER!!! The old fashioned was delicious!! If you're on the fence - GO!! read more

I really want to support this business but I don't know. A couple of weeks ago we ate here with out of town family and the fish tacos, wings and alcoholic drinks were great. I question why the waffles are not scratch made. They taste good but they are overly sweet. The size is on point and priced reasonably for the dish. I know they don't do breakfast and maybe that is a cost benefit. I hope to continue patronizing the establishment. Staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is decorated nicely read more

We stopped here back during burger week and enjoyed their burger week special, fries, and some cocktails. They had a great menu, attentive service and a great selection of cocktails. Cool vibe inside but a loud at times so conversation was tough when it got loud. Would definitely go back! read more

Undoubtedly one of the best places to eat in Middletown! Our appetizers were fantastic and so were the entrees. Everything was a great price and came out surprisingly fast. The building is on the smaller side but we were able to make a reservation before arriving. It's a cute place that you should definitely try! read more

We enjoyed it! The food was excellent, though not a huge selection. I would describe it as elevated bar food; highly elevated, plus there's Chicken and Waffles on offer! Is this available all day; are there different menus for dinner time? I do not know. Ours was a Sunday noon visit. Of course I went for the C&W. Our waitress, Danielle, asked if I wanted it tossed in the honey hot sauce. It was a very good question and I opted to take it on the side. Way more hot than honey, and I was glad to be able to drizzle and dip. The Waffles were excellent, crispy soft and just sweet enough. The syrup pour was generous. Chicken nice and tender. Phenomenal dish. Danielle, by the way, was one of the best waitresses we've experienced in recent memory. Shout out! My husband had the All American burger and loved it. The fries were special, lightly seasoned (didn't need salt) and pillowy soft inside. The half sour pickles were great! Lots of white tiles makes it very bright inside. Reclaimed wood and iron piping were included in the decor too. It seems kind of small, but when I back to visit the very clean and accessible ladies room, I noticed a much bigger second dining room with its own bar. It was not in operation at the time. I was unhappy that they only offered the extensive bourbon and drink list via a QR code. They should be proud enough of what's on offer to have quality printed lists. They didn't seem to have a problem with this in the past! I saw the photos on Yelp! They also try to steer you to use that for the food menu too but at least those are available in print (but missing a couple items, LOL). It didn't bother me because nothing would've been more appealing than the chicken and waffles. But, it might annoy you. Pro tip 1: the Fancy Sauce is perfect for dipping fries! Pro Tip 2: if you sit at one of the high tops by front window, your table will experience a tremor every time that front door slams closed. Keeping this one on the brunch list for sure. read more

The food we ordered was amazing. The service as well was amazing. This is a family friendly place so that is even better. We had short rib sandwich, american burger, and crispy shrimp. I had the hero beer which is a very good amber malt beer comparable to yuengling. Will return and I definitely recommend. Close to Land of Illusion. read more

This spot is such a hidden gem in Middletown. Their French fries and salads are really good. The burgers looked awesome but I did not try one. You don't expect it to be as big as it is for how small the outside makes it seem! read more

It was just ok, nothing to special where I would say let's go back. The inside was very well decorated and the service was friendly and quick. The food even though I just got a chop salad off a very limited menu it was just ok nothing special just a normal salad with a lack of toppings other than 100s of very hard croutons along with hard bacon lol For 21.00 I got a bowl of lettuce with croutons and 1 glass of Moscato. **my friend ordered the se thing but paid for add ons like the scrambled egg lol and chees read more

We tried it for the first time last Saturday. The food was excellent! Drinks were fantastic! Our server was top notch! If I could have changed anything at all it would be to suggest some type of garlic toast or a breadstick with the pasta dishes. Side salad would have raised it to another level. We will definitely go back! read more

Dinner here recently was a nice find. They have a really good menu with a lot of choices. Great beer selection and of course they also offer flights of bourbon. Overall pretty good selection. The bar dining area was packed so they took us around the corner to another area. It was a little awkward as the restaurant next-door was closed and I felt like they were using part of their restaurant for additional seating. This was the reason I knocked off a star. The ambience was just a little goofy. The food on the other hand was fantastic, as well as our service. The chicken tenders, which is something I don't normally get or excellent. I would definitely come back again. read more

Great service in this cozy neighborhood joint. And the food was so good!! We look forward to returning!

Checked out this place for dinner the other night. We got the dynamite shrimp as an appetizer & it was delicious! Fried shrimp & the sauce on it was a little spicy and terrific! They have quite a menu from chicken, salads and burgers. I got the in & out burger. It had cheese and sautéed onions and their signature sauce. It was double patties as well. Loved it & loved the sauce! The fries were beer battered- my favorite kind, but I've heard they do very good gluten free fries there too! The ambiance was cool! Lots of bourbons behind the bar & a classy cocktail menu. One side of the restaurant is smaller with a small bar and the other side is much larger with another bar area. Didn't try a cocktail this time just had a beer, but I will definitely be back! Our service was also excellent! read more

Good food, great service, got there early on a Saturday evening and got a table right away, but it was hopping. Just what we wanted for a quick dinner out. Shrimp was cooked just right. read more

Don't be discouraged by the appearance of the place from the road - we went based on some strong recommendations from friends today, and we LOVED our experience. Super friendly service, reasonably quick service, and our food was excellent. There were 8 of us and we tried a little bit of everything - lots of various burgers especially. Everyone raved about their meal. Highly recommend! read more

My family and I were out in Middletown for a soccer tournament. We needed a quick and early lunch and found Bourbon's Kitchen nearby the fields. We were seated right away and ordered a couple of beers from the decent beer list. They also have over 130 whiskeys and a long cocktail list. For lunch, I had the Grippo's sandwich with hand-breaded chicken. This was topped with muenster cheese, fancy sauce, creamy coleslaw, crushed Grippo's chips, and smoked bacon ($15.50). Sweet potato waffle fries are a $4 addition but are well worth it. This sandwich is typically served as a steak burger, but chicken can be subbed or an impossible burger. This was delicious and the spicy from the Grippo's chips really stood out. My wife had the Baja fish tacos with crispy haddock, fire-roasted black beans, and corn, house-pickled purple cabbage, salsa verde, ancho chile crema, and cilantro ($14). She seemed really happy with her choice, though the fries were an interesting side choice. Our kids enjoyed the cheeseburgers and fries from the kids' menu ($7.99). Overall this was a really good lunch and we will be back if ever in the area again. read more

Wonderfully made cocktails (all a 10!, best smoked Old Fashioned ever! One of the best Manhattans ever, and Weller Blue?!?! Omg), super upbeat staff and food flavor so powerful and that pops so loud it would embarrass a 12 gauge shotgun shell. BEST BURGER OF THE YEAR: I love the Gouda truffle burger so much I will be sending teams to taste test. This place is so good that it needs to be featured on a Food Channel show. Ms. Chris is a Genuis GM managing to perfection and Arlene tends the bar with more aplomb than King Charles leads England. The owner and chef have done well. read more

What an amazing restaurant!! I tried both the truffle burger and the chicken sandwich. Talk about delicious! The burger was cheesy with a great subtle truffle flavor. The fries were also some of the best I've tried recently. Their "special sauce" is also a great dipping accompaniment. The service was good. The server seemed to struggle a bit remembering our orders and had to come back several times to verify and brought out a wrong drink. But everybody has those days, it was still a great experience. The restaurant is cozy. For larger parties, they have long tables separated on the other side of the restaurant so it was quiet and nice. read more

We've been here twice and I have two great meals. We had 11 in our party and called ahead, so we got seated right away. Looks like a hole in the wall from outside but inside, they can accommodate larger groups in the back. The queso poutine fries were a hit as an appetizer! My crispy chicken sandwich was good but a couple others in our group said their chicken was a bit chewy. They have an excellent selection at the bar and we've had good service each time we've come. read more

My wife and I have yet to have anything here we did not like. Service is always friendly. We have never waited for more than 5 minutes to be seated. It's best that I have to drive a bit to get here bc otherwise I would be a weekly customer. Most recently we tried the chicken and waffles. Chicken had a slight kick to it that was matched with a nice sweet waffle. LOVED the crème brûlée cheesecake. Our bill is typically between $40-$60 including tip, for two. Just depends on if we order drinks and dessert. read more

Frustration - went "out of my way" to get here before closing today ... Jumped through "traffic hoops" Arrive with 26 mins remaining.... I wasted my effort, energy, and time. They were "CLOSED" and I'm unhappy they could not post / update their hours. Speaking of updated "Hours of operation" they list their restaurant in the "serves breakfast" category of Yelp. Sure, as long as you don't mind waiting until 11am for your breakfast. read more

Myself and two friends try to meet somewhere between Cincy and Dayton, this time we picked here! Idk if the gps was confused or if it really is that far off the highway, but it felt like we had to drive for a bit before arriving. From the website it looks like an upper scale kind of place and the menu prices are as to be expected for the cuisine and portions. Upon arrival we were admittedly a little hesitant as it is is highly unassuming - situated between a subway and discount smokes... I will say the food was good and the service was lovely! The sweet potato fries were THE best. The spicy shrimp appetizer was delicious too!! read more

We got a coupon for a free appetizer here after Skydiving, so we had to give it a try. This place is really nice! It's small but very modern and clean looking. It would fit in perfectly in the Columbus Short North area. Our waiter was as friendly as can be and very attentive. We started with an appetizer of the chicken pot stickers and I ordered the chicken BLT for the main dish. The pot stickers were the bomb! Slightly crunchy shell with a delicious sweet sauce. Great way to start the meal. The BLT was just as yummy! They packed the bagel full of chicken. I had to fight to keep it all in there! The bacon really did add a nice touch to the sandwich too. Everything went so well together. The fries were plain and not too salty. Just the way I like! I understand why this place has such good reviews now! You have to stop by if you're in the area! Also - the bathrooms are nice! There's a cute changing table in the women's bathroom, which I thought was nice of them to have. read more
