Buttermilk & Bourbon

About

Buttermilk & Bourbon is chef Jason Santos’s Back Bay restaurant bringing New Orleans flavor and Southern hospitality to Boston. The menu gives Southern favorites a Boston twist: warm honey-glazed biscuits with smoked cinnamon butter and pimento cheese, New Orleans BBQ shrimp with tasso ham, and baked mac and cheese with jalapeño cheddar and bacon. Buttermilk fried chicken comes Nashville hot, sweet and spicy, with white BBQ or with classic BBQ syrup.

Sides include loaded potato salad, buttered jalapeño grits and collard greens, and the bar pours hurricanes on tap, large-batch cocktails and bourbon drinks. Designed by Erica Diskin of Assembly Designs, the space features brick walls covered in New Orleans-inspired murals, tin ceiling tiles and a large center bar, plus separate dining rooms that double as private dining spaces. There is also lounge seating, an interactive oyster bar and a 40-seat patio. Santos is a nationally recognized chef.
