Had a large party for a celebration and they accommodated us nicely! Food and drinks were great! Appreciated their service:)

Ok so I am always looking for cool places with a great vibe. This place was recommended by a couple folks so we gave it a try tonight. The place is in a strip mall. Very quaint but very cool. First impressions from the staff is always critical but Adam and Jeff were so accomdating and informative. Killer bourbon selections and a great barrel aged Manhattan. The food was just so damn good. Cauliflower wings and maple sweet potato waffle fries are sooo good. We had a truffle Gouda Burger and Chicken & Waffles were delicious. May we the best burger I have ever had. One of my new favorite places in the area. read more

Amazing food and great value. Solid service and wow on the burgers and desserts (salted caramel waffle) are stellar

Good food and service. Crab cakes melted in my mouth. Brussel sprouts app was delicious.

We stopped here before going to Light Up Middletown. And we were glad we did. Excellent food and service! We'll be back.

Good food, great service Grippo burger and chicken and waffle are a few favorites. A few good salads also, you won't be disappointed read more

We've door-dashed burgers from Bourbon's Kitchen twice now, and despite the 15+ min travel time, our burgers have been delicious and inventive!! We've tried and loved: The Bernie Mac (excellent!! We will order with an extra side of BBQ sauce next time), Truffle & Gouda (Excellent also, and we ordered with extra bacon jam), and the In n Out Burger (yes, very reminiscent of the famous So. Cal burger chain's burger). These are all 8.5/10 - 9/10 burgers!! Fries are delicious, as are the sweet potato waffle fries. Highly recommended, especially for burger aficionados!! read more

Great laidback but classy atmosphere, good music. Had the vietnamese coffee stout- Aces. Chickn n waffles was to die for- right amount of kick to the fried chicken and the waffles had crunchy sugar bits in it. Also never would of thought of putting the mac n cheese in a shrimp taco but it worked! Waitress was bubbly and attentive. 5/5 would recommend. read more

Food always delicious and consistent, the bourbon melt is my go to. Bartenders always professional and friendly, try it you won't be disappointed read more

This place is phenomenal, I have been a customer consistently since the opening and I have consistently been met with great food and friendly service. I've tried almost every burger and a number of other items and none of them disappointed. My favorite is probably the in and out burger. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu and this is one of my favorite restaurants. The fries and the sauce that they make are like Kobe and Shaq in their primes it's just blissful. If you are in the area definitely worth the visit. Only downside that I've ever experienced is the lack of space in restaurant, but that doesn't seem to be a huge deal as it seems as if there expanding a bit. read more

We went with a large group (a youth basketball team and parents) of about 25 people. Our waiter, Chase, was absolutely outstanding. He took care of our whole group and blew us away with his ability to manage such a large group so efficiently. The food was also amazing. Everyone left feeling full and afterwards everyone talked about how it was such a great experience all the way around. Would highly recommend. read more

Hidden gem. Small local restaurant and bar. I wouldn't recommend for a large group, but great for date night. I was looking for a restaurant/bar with "good" drinks and remembered eating here a year or so ago. They have decent drink menu and the Old Fashioned did not disappoint. My husband had the whiskey sour. Tasted good, but the fancy glass made for a tiny drink. We chose the Bourbon BBQ smoked wings as appetizer based on the server's recommendation. Delicious!! We both had a hard time choosing what to have for dinner. The menu has many great options and made it hard to chose. I went with the adult grilled cheese. Very tasty, the only thing that would have made it better is if it had been hot or at least warmer. My husband went with chicken and waffles, which he had the first time we came. Nice serving size, spicy chicken with sugary sweet waffles. The atmosphere is loud and close quarters, so don't expect intimate quiet conversation. We will definitely come back and we won't wait years this time! read more

Gem of a spot in Middletown. Great selection of bourbon and some very well made cocktails. Personally can recommend the Black current and Barrel aged Manhattan. Any place that serves their cocktails with a single large ice cube instead of crushed ice that melts too quickly is good in my book. Food and service are also great. We had the Poutine fries and shared a burger, both were excellent. read more

Great food, drinks and service. The space inside is not I've but you typically don't wait long

I live in California and had came home to visit family/friends, Paul and David invited me to dinner at your location and HOLY COW!! IT WAS DELICIOUS and the staff was so warm and welcoming! We are moving back to the area (less than 10 minutes from your restaurant) and look so forward to bringing my husband for dinner and many more dinner dates with Paul and David!! Thank you for all you do!! read more

This place is hands down amazing. The staff is friendly and attentive, they are knowledgeable about the cocktails, bourbons and the food. The Spirits selection is varied and expansive! They have a plethora of bourbons to choose from and allow you to make flights. The space is limited and groups are welcome, but you need to plan a little in advance. We even brought kids and they were fine there. I have stopped on for a lunch burger on occasion too and the lunch service is just as good as the dinner one. The Chicken and waffles is to die for! Best in the Greater Cinci Area by far! We also loved teh Cauliflower wings with Grippo dust so much we ordered an extra app of it when the meal was served. This place is great for a date night, lunch or family outing. I highly recommend it! read more

Excellent food and excellent service, this place has become our new favorite restaurant.

Wow! I came here from out of town. I have to say, it was serendipity that I stopped here. I have been watching my weight, so I had the lettuce wraps and the "chicken wing" cauliflower. I guess that is a thing now. It is for me! What a great dish! Great for a side or a meal. The lettuce wraps were so fantastic. Great flavor, a little cilantro, black bean and corn salsa and great roasted chicken. Man, I could not finish it all. Try this place out!!!!! read more

Stopped in here due to the #1 rating for MiddleTown on Yelp. The restaurant is in an old shopping center which was odd but the inside had an OTR feel to it. Small but nicely set up. We went at 5 and it was moderately busy and 89 percent of the tables were full with still quite a bit of bar space available. I would assume this place gets packed by late dinner or weekends. It was my 8 year old son, adult brother and law, his 6 year old nephew and me. The whole left side is a booth with tables and chairs accompanying it down the restaurant. I got the California burger and it was delicious. There wasn't anything that wasn't exceptional about the burger. The buns were especially good. My son got boneless wings and he liked them which means they must have been good. We also got the Mac n cheese. Most restaurants have dry or tasteless Mac but This was cheesy and moist. The only thing that needed improvement were that fries. I would like to see a more crisp with more seasoning. These were McDonald's-esque with no salt. The fry sauce was good though! We came with two kids so we didn't get any adult drinks but they had plenty of craft beer and bourbons to choose from! I will definitely be back! read more

We love eating here! The food is unique and of a higher quality. It's a smallish restaurant but great service and cute decor.

Was a great find and unexpectedly as well. I Had the grippo burger and it rocked! Didn't care for where we were seated by the kitchen and didn't vibe with the server but that's, that. I'd go back when in area. read more

It's nice to be back on Yelp. I've been on quite a self-imposed Yelp hiatus due to COVID. I've only recently become comfortable with venturing out and about. (Comfortable is a relative term. Am I completely "comfortable" ? No, absolutely not. Have I accepted the risks & potential exposure I may receive by going out into the public? Yes, I have.) Plus, the last thing overworked, under appreciated (and paid, tbh) workers need is an entitled Yelper complaining about the time it took to sit in a properly socially distanced restaurant or any other issue that may arise that's completely out of their control. And, like I said, I've not been out much lately before this past month. What could I write a review about? My house? No one needs to see my 2 star review based on the clothes pile that continuously rises in the laundry room. I've had a few review drafts in the wings, but the stupid app update deletes whatever I've been writing & saving for later. So here is attempt numero tres: I don't live in the Middletown area. I actually have made concerted efforts to avoid it because of the time my mom's purse was stolen from a Cracker Barrel parking lot in 2001. No, seriously man, bad vibes. 7 year old Stephanie felt it, and so does 26 year old Stephanie. At my sparkling semi-new (I hit my year anniversary last week!) job that takes me all around the city & beyond, I met a wonderful colleague from the Middletown area that has encouraged me to give the local businesses by her a chance. Her first place to take me was Bourbon Kitchen! Bourbon Kitchen sits in a plain strip mall anchored by a Subway and Boost mobile. On my original visit, the owners had an attached italian restaurant. Since then, they've closed it - I don't know if it was because of COVID or not, but I like to think it's because they're so focused on their booming bourbon bar (hehe) that they needed the extra space to expand. Yep, that's the story I'm sticking with. It's strangely spacious inside the restaurant/bar, with ample seating even through COVID (yay, shower curtains!). My friend and I sit at the bar every time. Of course, this bar has an impressive bourbon selection, but I come to bars for one thing and one thing only - beer. And beer they have! They've a pretty nice tap selection too. I wouldn't expect to see that at a bourbon bar period, much less in Middletown. I will say, the winter tap selection was much more appealing to me than the summer one I saw a few weeks ago - but they may simply be because of personal preference. The food here, for me, has been hit or miss. - Cauliflower wings: Definition hit or miss. For sure order them well done, because they're super soggy otherwise. Basically, they've become a vehicle of the copious amounts of ranch I consume. I wouldn't order again unless someone else is adamant to have them. - Dips: paaaaaassss. Guacamole is overly lime-y and queso is bland. It tastes like Tostitos queso, which the WW gal in me can appreciate - but I'm not coming here to count my points. - Chicken Potstickers: I wish I'd get more in an order! They definitely give enough for the price, I'm just stingy. The Asian slaw is especially delicious. My friend has been noted to order this simply for the slaw. - Southwest Chicken Salad: Delicious! It can easily be shared with two people. The crispy chicken they put on top I'd eat by itself. If you cut it up and call it popcorn chicken, I'd believe you and happily eat it. Also, the overly lime-y guacamole actually works here and is a welcomed addition to the party. -Truffle & Gouda Burger: I would NOT expect to find a sandwich this fancy in Middletown. Something this tasty? Definitely, there's good food to be found everywhere. But something that makes me feel the need to break out my finest pearls? It's a pleasant surprise! -In N Out: There are many local variations of the famous In N Out sandwich. All are good - but they don't compare to the real thing, and this is no exception. As long as you keep your expectations down a tad, you'll find you're enjoying a well-made, flavorful burger. I also think it's important to note that their service is always awesome. I've only been in a few times, but I feel like I've been treated like a regular each time. Maybe it's because I'm with a regular, but they seem to give that personalized hospitality to everyone. I've always been the type of gal that believes service can elevate bad food, and it can break great food. Here it's no exception: even when I make poor menu decisions, I know the staff will take care of me. Looking at this review, I've realized I've rambled on for quite a bit. I mean I'm notorious for that anyway, but this is my first review in eight months...go big or go home friends. Or better yet, go to Bourbon Kitchen and enjoy a drink. read more

I cannot express how much I enjoy this restaurant! My favorite menu item is the Grippo burger, but I have enjoyed almost every menu item they have. A couple of friends and myself thoroughly enjoyed their New Year's Eve special, which was prime rib, mashed potatoes, salad, and asparagus. I was not expecting how amazing that meal was. The restaurant Has periodic specials so I have been stalking their social medias. If you haven't tried Bourbon 's Kitchen,I suggest you do so soon. read more

6 of us visited for the first time on a Friday night. When you first arrive, you think you are in the wrong place. it is small and in a strip mall. But don't let first impressions turn you away. The whole experience was amazing , starting from the first greeting to our server. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable The food and drinks were delicious. I'd recommend the roasted Chix on any sandwich Id recommend the bourbon smash. All of us enjoyed our meals. We will be back. give it a try, you won't be sorry. read more

Tried this place a few times. Best burgers in town with other options and even a kid's menu. Took the family today and the burger I got would make my top 5 burger list of all time. I will be back to try the other options but it's hard not to order their burgers read more

Great craft food and cocktails. Superior bourbon selection. I love the chicken fingers sounds funny but they are seasoned so well and it's a meal fit for a heavy appetite. read more

We arrived later than most on a weeknight, but on a recommendation, decided to give it a shot. You can look at my reviews and you'll see an "A-OK" is a fair rating... Burbon's Kitchen gets a "Woohoo." Our server was top-notch, offered recommendations and knew the menu as though he designed it himself. My wife ordered a Cabernet, and he offered to let her know it was barrel-aged, so the flavor will be a bit more bold. He also offered the red blend which has the Cabernet in it. She went with the barrel aged, and was so very glad she did. Wonderful taste! Our daughter ordered the buffalo cauliflower - which was simply amazing, and I ordered the Gyro Tacos. The french fries were perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Actually, everything was cooked to perfection. I can't say it enough - this place is truly awesome. Highly recommended for friends & family! 11/2/18: Visited on a Friday night. Had to wait about 1/2 hour for a 6-top table (they offered bar seats, but we held out). All 6 of us were completely sold on this place. Tried the Chicken.. It's SO WORTH IT! read more

Great food, drinks, and service. The location is a little sketch and the food prices are a little steep. Beyond that it's worth a try.

Some nice folks at White Dog Distillery pointed us to Bourbons. We were so glad they did. As shown in the pictures, they take the safety of their employees and customers seriously making us feel comfortable dining indoors at a place we had never tried before today. The sweet potato waffle fries with bacon and maple glaze were spectacular. His chicken sandwich and my brisket reuben were really good too. So good that I forgot to take pics of the food. read more
