Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bourbons is a lively and popular spot, perfect for enjoying southern-style cuisine and creative cocktails. "excellent cocktails" and "mouthwatering" dishes like fried chicken and Mushroom pizza are highlights. The service is "fantastic," with standout servers like Shane and Paul. While the noise level can be high, the outdoor patio offers a more relaxed ambiance. Reservations are recommended for this bustling restaurant.

    Excellent New Years Eve meal with my Bride. Our server, Will, was great. Hostess was friendly and accommodating. We've been here many times and will continue to do so.

    This is our second year we have done a family holiday dinner here. Food and service are good. I suggest not having so many tables- It was very cramped. With that said, we will be back

    Parking was terrible; we needed to walk a couple blocks in the rain. The food was excellent, as usual. The service was excellent. as usual. What was not acceptable was the noise level. The din made it impossible to converse during dinner. Customers were shouting to be heard, servers were shouting to be heard, and an enjoyable dining experience was impossible. In the past we had always eaten outside during warm weather. Last night was a typical December in Michigan evening so eating outside was impossible. We eat here a lot, even though we live an hour away. It is our go-to restaurant for celebrations. We will enjoy Bourbons in the warmer months.

    I absolutely love this restaurant. Never had a bad meal here have brought multiple friends and family members and they've never had a bad meal either. Drinks are great, staff is attentive. Definitely an energetic place so not a great spot for a quiet meeting but great for pretty much everything else. Do yourself a favor and make an OpenTable reservation to beat the wait time. They're usually very good with seating you at or close to your reservation time, even with a crowd of people. 10/10!
