Charming

Drawing on the South’s trademark charm, the restaurant offers a vibrant, cozy atmosphere with an innovative American menu featuring Southern-influences. Santos channels his love of New Orleans and all things Southern to transport guests to the Bayou by way of Buttermilk & Bourbon.
Takeout and delivery services are available via our website and Doordash. There are 3 options for seating: Standard (Indoors), High-Top (Indoors) and Patio (Outdoor). All outdoor patio reservations are subject to being canceled in the event of inclement weather. We offer a fifteen-minute grace period and ask that you call us if you will be running late or your reservation may be cancelled.
*We allot 1 hour and a half for a reservation of 2 guests and 2 hours for reservations consisting of 3 or more guests.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

We have such a fantastic time at Buttermilk and Bourbon every time. Our service with Ethan was perfect and Mimi is a rock star, ensuring everyone was smiling and having a blast. The Christmas decorations look so good, I could only imagine how much effort was put into making B&B look festive. The kitchen was on point with each plate, with the mussels special being the best dish. 10/10 will be back again

Amazing food and amazing service. It was quiet at 1:30 with snow steadily coming down. We’ve never had a bad experience. This place is simply amazing!!! Love everything about it from the food, drinks, location to the decor.

I wish Jason’s restaurants had more room. Both buttermilk locations are tight spaced and uncomfortable. The crab dip was great at the back bay location last year, but this year it was not my top fav nor was the dirty fries . The wagyu and everything else is always great.

Food used to be a lot better (and portions bigger/more balanced re: sides/veg-centric options). Now it's oversalted and overpriced, and the service is pretty lousy (waiters who had no idea what they were doing, runners who took away dishes before people were done eating).
