Our Food
At Buttermilk & Bourbon, Southern favorites get a Boston twist. Think warm honey-glazed biscuits with smoked cinnamon butter and pimento cheese, New Orleans BBQ shrimp with tasso ham, and baked mac & cheese loaded with jalapeño cheddar and crispy bacon. Our buttermilk fried chicken comes in all the styles you crave—Nashville hot, sweet & spicy, white BBQ, or classic BBQ syrup.
Sides? We’ve got you—loaded potato salad, buttered jalapeño grits, and collard greens that hit just right. Wash it all down with hurricanes on tap, large-batch cocktails, or bourbon-based creations that pack a punch. Southern comfort, Boston style, and always unforgettable.
