   Best meal that we had in our stay here. Our server, Terrence, was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. The charbroiled oysters were amazing and had great flavor. Great appetizer! Shrimp and grits and the alligator and crawfish as main courses can’t be beat. Try out the Bourbon House, you won’t be disappointed.

   The food was good. Service could have been better. The waiter wasn't very attentive. Table sat with dirty dishes for a long time, and it took forever to receive the check.

   The food was absolutely amazing! The chargrilled oysters were truly incredible—rich, smoky, and perfectly cooked. The smoked shrimp and crab boudin balls were also outstanding, packed with bold flavor. As for the bourbon-glazed shrimp, the sauce was spectacular-sweet, savory, and irresistibly delicious. But the real showstopper was the redfish on the half shell with its lemon beurre blanc sauce - honestly world-changing.The sauce was so perfectly balanced, it elevated the dish to another level. Highly recommend this place is a must-visit for seafood lovers!

It’s always a pleasure to know our guests loved the flavors we pour our heart into! We're especially happy that the redfish on the half shell with the lemon beurre blanc sauce made such a memorable impact. We couldn't agree more – it’s definitely a showstopper!

   If you like bourbon and great Louisiana cooking, you'll like Bourbon House. Considering its proximity to Bourbon St, it was a wonderful Oasis from the hubbub of Bourbon St.

   It was awful. We waited forever to be taken care of. Bread came before the drinks. They forgot an order of oysters. Then we were charged for a very expensive bourbon we did not order. It was taken care of. However, the whole experience was lousy and the food was mediocre for the cost. Vet disappointed ☹️

   We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing visit. From the long wait to the missed oyster order and mistaken charge—it’s clear we fell short on several fronts, and that’s not the experience we strive to provide. We appreciate you acknowledging that the billing issue was corrected, but we understand that doesn’t undo the frustration. Your feedback is being shared with our team so we can address these service lapses and work to prevent similar issues in the future. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the high-quality hospitality and cuisine you’ve come to expect. Warm regards, Gerilyn & the BH Team

   We had a delicious dinner at Bourbon House. The raw oysters were big and sweet and very tasty. Olivia our server was attentive and took good care of us. I enjoyed my gumbo and bbq shrimp. The bourbon sauce on the shrimp was wonderful! I’d definitely go back! Very nice meal!

We’re also glad you loved the gumbo and BBQ shrimp (that bourbon sauce does have a way of stealing the show). We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for another delicious visit! Warmly, Gerilyn & the BH Team
