The food was great, the walleye and pork belly were excellent. The service was fantastic and treated us very well!

The curds were amazing!! The other food was good too but the curds were so yummy! We went in the summer so we were able to sit outside. Our waiter was very good and recommended different drinks to us! read more

The flight of cocktails was amazing. It was fun to try ones I was curious about but didn't want to commit! I loved the one that was like a French 75! I ordered the white chicken chili, it wasn't pretty to look at but so tasty. read more

We say "outside" and it was perfect. The truffle fries were the highlight of the night. I would go back simply for them. read more

Magic. The service and staff hum like a fine Swiss watch and make the place worth it, even if the food wasn't spectacular, which it was.

One Bourbon was outstanding. Nicely arranged bar, dining room, and outdoor seating. The staff was very friendly and engaging, and the service and attentiveness of our waiter was second to none! The bourbon selection was huge and the food (highly recommend the salmon) was amazing! We were a little hesitant at first because it was fairly easy to get a reservation on Yelp for prime time on a Saturday night. Definitely a hidden gem for a downtown date night! read more

Best ribeye in Grand Rapids! 400 bourbons / whiskeys. Great service. We'll be back!!!

Delicious food and great service! Everything was fresh and the peanut butter pie was amazing!

The first time we tried OB we were hooked! The food, the service, the space, all solid. Fast forward to booking the upstairs for our wedding reception, huge mistake. Visited for my birthday, was kicked out of our table because we were 1 hour and 40 minutes into our 2 hour allotted time. So much so that the manager stood at the corner of our table asking when we were leaving because they had the next group waiting, he started taking our meals before we were done. Due to this interaction and a request to see the space while there, it was a mess. Fast forward to find out that manager was fired. I called to cancel our reception reservation, that same manager had filtered the calls I made from the owners. A month before our reception was to take place the owner reached out to finalize the menu, having no clue we had cancelled. The owner is a true gem, she was very understanding and helpful and apologetic. We gave OB one more chance after that, letting all those things go - the food was horrible. I was served completely inedible chicken. It had the texture of rubber. I told the on duty manager, she took my meal said sorry, didn't comp, didn't ask if I wanted something else. I had to stop at chic-fil-a to get a meal. Just has seriously gone downhill. Work on food quality and staff management and I think it could seriously improve. read more

Food was good. I had the BBQ poutine which was ok. It was good but not something I would go back for. I had the drink sampler because I couldn't decide on just one drink. All of them were delicious! read more

If you can get to One Bourbon on a nice night I highly recommend checking out their outdoor patio. Our server was super friendly and fast. They take reservations and we had no problem getting in! I got the southern chicken sandwich and it was..... INCREDIBLE! I got the Nashville sauce on the side and put on my own amount based on how hot I liked it. I do recommend this! It came with 3 crispy tenders. My husband got the one bourbon burger and liked it too! I took a bite and liked mine better... but I'm not one to order a burger at a restaurant! I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Food and service were great! We sat in greenhouse. Next time we will opt for inside the restaurant.

Lounge and Oak Room taken way with! Such beauty and quality of services! We hosted my Dad's Wake here this weekend, 5/11/24. Beyond our expectations for kindnesses from the staff here @ One Bourbon . Abbi (yes, correct spelling) was lovely in helping walk me through this process of reserving room setup, flowers, food, expenses, and everything. I honestly had NO idea ‍ what I was doing. She made the entire process seem less & it turned out beautifully, simply EXACTLY as we hoped for. We opted for a cocktail type open bar heavy hors d'oeuvres event from 4-7. Our guests streamed in & out of my father's wake comfortably. The Bartender, along with Abbi, MADE this event! The thoughtfulness they put into talking with our guests and being present but not intrusive was very special indeed! My Father really enjoyed coming to this establishment and how WELL YOU DID at helping us honor him! We thank you!!! read more

Our waiter Conner was great, looked after us. We impressed that the chef came out and talked to us.

We came to Grand Rapids in search of some amazing food and One Bourbon did not disappoint. First walking in we were greeted with kind smiles and great customer service. Our shareable we picked out was the hot cheese dish. Our entrees included the bourbon poutine and 1b burger. The burger was full of flavor! Highly recommend! The poutine was a fan favorite of my husbands but beware if you don't like peppered gravy then this isn't your dish. Megan one of the owners was super sweet and talked to us for a few minutes to get out opinions. We can't thank her enough for her hospitality! read more

Excellent food, service and setting. Our favorite for night out or special occasions.

I would highly recommend this place. Great selection of bourbon and whiskeys. The restaurant is really cool and was decorated very cool. The service was really good and the server knew the menu very well. We got the steak and one of us got the risotto. Everything had great flavor. My steak was cooked perfect and the sweet potato hash was delicious. We also got the deviled eggs which was pretty good. The sauce that came with them was really good. read more

First time at One Bourbon and it was an excellent experience. We had great drinks & food-- the peanut butter pie is amazing! We had the privilege of listening to Teddy Brewer sing and play acoustic outside on the beautiful patio. Lastly, the service was great and they had this amazing mirror in the women's bathroom. Absolutely love this. We need more of these around-- such power and so encouraging. Made me smile. Thank you! We will be back! read more

This is a great restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. I had the bourbon burger which had so much flavor, highly recommend. My brother had the Nashville grilled chicken and said that it would be a basic meal without the gravy, it made his meal!! My mom had the Westside best side salad and hated it. Said no flavor. Very plain. Overall enjoyable experience though! read more

Came to Grand Rapids for a business trip. Was looking for some place local to have dinner/drinks. The Ambiance and atmosphere was epic! One of those speak easy kind of vibes with more bourbon's and whiskey options than 1 could dream of. I personally have a gluten allergy, and was torn between the pork hop and the ribeye. Ultimately I went for the ribeye, and OMG, it just melts in your mouth! The ribeye was so delicious, I forgot to take a picture of it, lol. Beyond the Ambiance, and the food...I have to commend the wait staff on amazing service! The service was that of what you'd expect from a place that charges $40+ per oz. on steaks...not a place that charges $40 per steak! Our waiter was Cody and the guy at the bar while we waited for a table was Dustin. Dustin took the time to verify the bourbon he made my old fashioned with was certified gluten free, and not just distilled to be gluten free! And I loved the shirt on the wall stating that the soup of the day is Bourbon! read more

Very highly recommend. The cocktail flight was incredible ... same with Apple Whiskey Sour. Delicious food ... fun environment (was a little lout with a few groups) but nothing terrible. Kenny the server was awesome. Such a nice change of pace from some of the other west side restaurants ... also LOVE the fact they take reservations !!! read more

This is like a second home for my family. Amazing appetizers, food, cocktails galore. The staff is always friendly and welcoming as well. If you want quality food and craft cocktails, this is the spot for you read more

I love this place. The cocktails and food are great! But what really gives this place an extra sparkle in my eye is the music they play. It's bangers we all know and love and it REALLY sets this restaurant & bar apart from others in GR that also have a good food and cocktail scene. The music isn't pretentious nor is it some indie underground noise that no one knows. It's versatile by generation and genre, playing all of the best songs. I find that it makes an experience like bourbon tasting, which can be so pretentious, a more down to earth, relaxed and fun environment. read more

Great food, service and ambience! Good and thoughtful recommendations that were excellent.

Came here for our anniversary dinner. Bourbon burger was absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend! Service was on point for a Friday night! My glass always stayed full! Price for food was as expected and worth it! We will definitely be coming back again! read more

One Bourbon - Bourbon Burger - American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Contrary to their name, their menu has considerably more than one option for Bourbon. In fact they have so many options it's easy to get lost in endless possibilities. On a cold October evening during COVID we came here with some friends. I'm typically a scotch drinker, but settle for Bourbon on occasion. I was recommended one from their selection and it did not disappoint. It was so pleasing to have the warmth of the Bourbon while we sat outside. We feasted on a smorgasbord of appetizers, of which each were average to above average. It's not unfair to say that the company was better than the food. I would certainly come back, it's somewhat of a novelty to have so many whiskey/Bourbon/scotch options. Maybe a drink or two with an old friend. Or a cocktail after dinner. But I don't think I'm going to set out for much more than that. read more

The food was delicious and service was good. Good happy hour, too. We went on Saturday night at 5 pm and it filled up quickly.

Update: Went back to 1B for my birthday weekend. I cannot say enough about how hospitable the staff is at One Bourbon. I had a decent sized group that I requested outdoor seating for...and Meagan and her staff made sure we were all well attended to. Not to mention, I asked Meagan to recommend a bourbon for me for my evening and it was amazing. The BBQ poutine was phenomenal. The attention to detail at One Bourbon is rare hence why I've changed my rating from four stars to five. I've been wanting to visit this place for awhile. Their selection of bourbon is extensive. I can see how it could be intimidating for more novice bourbon drinkers. But their staff is incredibly helpful when it comes to helping others decide on what to order based off their preferences. The menu is a mix of southern and comfort food. I'm a big fan of their shrimp and grits. I'll definitely be back. read more

Visited for the first time on NYE. Loved the ambience and the drinks were delicious. The food, however, was just OK. I would be visit again but for drinks and maybe an appetizer. Bar staff was excellent our waiter was OK. read more

My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at One Bourbon tonight. The service was very friendly from the hostess to the waitress and manager/co-owner. We had a pretty early dinner which helped us get seated quickly and it was actually happy hour, to our surprise. We started with the Georgia Egg Rolls which we loved. The rice/beans added a great texture to the egg roll while the garlic aioli was the perfect dipping sauce. I ordered the turkey reuben and my wife ordered the fried chicken. The entrees are large and we ended up taking a box home with leftover chicken and our combined leftover fries. The turkey reuben was fantastic and easily one of the best I've ever had. The cole slaw was a little runny which made the bread start to get soggy to the end but it wasn't horrible. My wife enjoyed the chicken and she asked for the Nashville hot sauce on the side, which was smart because it definitely had a kick. Overall, this place has a cool atmosphere/vibe to it and the design of the restaurant is awesome. The old exposed brick and local touches hanging on the walls were perfect. The co-owner stopped by our table multiple times to check on our drinks, appetizers, and finally the entrees. We will definitely be back! read more

Update January 2020 One Bourbon has turned into a regular spot for date night. The food is a great selection of southern inspired comfort food. The southern chicken sandwich is a must try along with the poutine and the shrimp and grits. The pickles and cheese appetizer is a nice starter to share. The pickles are house made and complement the cheese perfectly. I have also enjoyed their specialty cocktails and great selection of bourbon. Meagan is a sweetheart and always treats us like family. Give it a try you won't be disappointed read more
