    Bourbons always delivers on a good meal with great service! They have a nice choice of meals with a good range of price points. They also have plenty of outdoor seating including a "covered" patio area. The place can be pretty loud, especially since they play good music that you can hear from several buildings down Main Street.

    We had the filet mignon for lunch and it was excellent. This is not the place to go for a quiet dinner. It was extremely noisy. Our waitress was not very attentive. We did not receive our corn bread and wasn’t offered drink refills until we were ready to leave. I won’t returning mostly because of the noise.

    Friendly right from the hostess podium on. Our server was great. All our entrees were delicious. It was fun trading bites. I don't think you can go wrong here. Get reservations though, they're always busy. Busy restaurants are busy because they offer a great experience at a good value, so don't be put off by the need to make reservations. I made ours the day before (mid-week evening) with no problem.
