Bourbon

About This Establishment

Crispy Boudin Balls crackle on the bite, then Shrimp & Grits deliver Gulf shrimp with the Holy Trinity and Congaree Milling Co. grits, finished with chili oil. The Bourbon Gumbo Bowl weds confit duck with Andouille in a rich, spicy spoonful, warming the room. Portions feel robust in flavor even if they run on the generous side for the price—this is bold, texture-forward Cajun-Creole with a Southern twist.
