Was visiting the area with friends and had a great meal at Bourbon's. Two of us had the Bayou…read moreburgers (ground chuck, ribs and brisket-that's what I'm talking about!), and they were really delicious. Another had the étouffée which was just OK and not really a dinner- sized portion to be honest, and was too spicy. I saw an old menu on Yelp with some fried chicken livers and must've missed those or maybe they've changed the menu but that would've been a fav. For a young whippersnapper, that executive chef Cody Cable is doing it!

I have been coming to Bourbon since 2021. I love the atmosphere and feel that their core menu of…read moredrinks (heart of darkness, frankly my dear, sazerac, ya-ya hurricane) are consistent and good. The rotating cocktails are where I feel that the quality has started to slip in the past year or two. The last few times I've been I haven't particularly enjoyed my drinks, which sucks because the vibe and service here are great. It's not like I'm ordering anything off menu, just the drinks on menu that use base liquors that aren't bourbon. I brought my family here this weekend and felt a little disappointed and embarrassed at the quality of the drinks for the price. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Bourbon is good at what they're named after, but everything else is just.... Eh.

Last night my fiance and I went to Rust for "Jazz Night". I was not only looking forward to a…read morenight of good jazz, but also to trying some of their enticing entrees/appetizers...... Peppercorn encrusted fillet, mango shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon just to name a few. Here's how our night turned out - the jazz band started out with a John Mayer cover and the kitchen was only serving chicken wings, chicken livers and french fries. Really? I mean, really?? One good thing... martinis were only $3 and here's another... they're closing for one month for renovations which hopefully means the rest of the night was a fluke. The place itself is really cool with a lot of potential.

This trip was no different. We had a large group of 16 and it started there. Was told a 2hr wait. If we split in to groups of 8 we'd be seated in 45. Took this option. Actually got seated in about 25 minutes seperately. (A table of 8 that was right next to us was vacant and NEVER got used for the entire 90 minutes or so that we stayed at the restaurant so why not accommodate our group? - strike one) Our waitress I'm told was very chippy with an attitude toward some party members. (I didnt get any attitude toward me) but heard a few people stating how she was answering people's requests and how unpleasant she was. - Strike two. The food. I ordered the meatloaf nachos (which were good). I also ordered the fried pork chops w/ side salad. Loading up on fake bacon bits (like 1000 pieces) doesnt make the salad better. This is a hint to their kitchen. The pork chops were dry and the "red skinned" mash potatoes" (which I do not remember the menu stating that they were red skinned potatoes which would mean SKIN would be present in the mash. Otherwise I would not have ordered this. ALSO, their baked beans.......this was the worst part of the meal. I am expecting some version of beans with a bbq base or similar...instead I got some sort of bean SOUP which was totally inedible in my opinion. Whole meal was trash. Strike three. My 83 year old father said at the end of the meal "worst meal I've ever had". Which I had him repeat to the table just in case anyone thought it was just me. $700 with tip for the quality is a bit much. I will never ever return no matter what my siblings say.

We went to the Terrace Theatre's special showing of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me for my birthday…read moreand wanted to grab a bite first, but I wanted to stay REAL CLOSE to the Theatre on Maybank Hwy. I asked my foodie group for recommendations and read reviews here and chose this place because they have a Sushi Ninja popup on Wed-Thur-Fri. We LOVE SUSHI! And hubs loves whiskey! Traffic was SO BAD it took an hour and a half to get to the Terrace from Goose Creek. Left at 4:45, parked at 6:15. Show at 7:30. This is why I stick close to home. But we hit Paddock & Whiskey and had the best time, great drinks, and excellent Sushi Ninja sushi! Best in Charleston? That's a high bar. But wow. This was excellent sushi. I ate a piece before the pic, it looked so good. We got the Nigiri Mori at the recommendation of the amazing bartender, and I also got her favorite gin and tonic. Local, very fruity and naturally sweet. Lovely! The drink was good too LOL Seriously, though, the Tropical Gin from Beyond Distilling Company is sweet and fruity-good. The Aburi scallop is not to be missed! I swear I got an almost Bleu cheese taste from it, in the most pleasant and pungent way. The A5 Wagyu was also a hit. The Bluefin Tuna, Hamachi, and regular scallop with smoked sea salt were all so fresh and delicious. It was all so good. The sushi chef came out since he was told it was our first time and was so kind and genuine in his appreciation for the fish. I am impressed. The sushi was gone in a minute so we ordered another round and hubby was offered a discount dram (or 2) of a special bourbon and of course he couldn't say no. It was worth it. The space is tight but that makes it cozy and sincere. I would totally hang out all the time if I were local. The outdoor seating is great, too. This is an incredible locals bar tucked away in an art theater strip mall with an amazing sushi meal three nights a week. Where do I sign up? If you're in the area, check 'em out! If you're on the way, be patient and turn up the music. It's all waiting for you. Would brave the horrific traffic again for it.
