We live in the neighborhood, but haven't gone because one of our neighbors said it was a little pricey. The bourbon is a little pricey, but happy hour is amazing! The service was great. The food was delicious. We will totally be back!!

Wonderful food and terrific cocktails and an awesome staff. Can't wait until we visit again.

Excellent service and all food and cocktails were amazing! I especially loved the size of the menu. Enough small bites bite options to make it a meal and the main options were so hard to choose between. Can't wait to go back.

Dishes ranged from "excellent" to "just okay" - I would certainly give this restaurant a try if you are in the area. First off, the drinks. Husband got a Baked Apple Old Fashioned, while I got a NA cocktail that doesn't seem to be found online so I can't remember the name but had Orgeat in it. First off, LOVE that they have a couple NA cocktails, always great to see. Both our drinks were similar: very strong and pretty gross upon first sip. But 15 minutes later when both had a chance to settle, they were really tasty. The Old Fashioned got sweeter, mine stopped punching me in the face with almond taste. So give it a couple minutes before diving into your drink. Apps - deviled eggs and KFC bites. Man I wanted to like the eggs. I LOVE deviled eggs. But these were very, very tart - even as someone who likes an egg on the tangy side - and just had too much going on. The KFC bites were tasty, but unremarkable. The entrees are where this place shines. The local mushroom pasta is phenomenal with noodles perfectly done, just this side of al dente. The country fried chicken was nice and crispy and the Brussels were exceptional. The mac and cheese side was nice too, although I don't love cavatappi noodles with mac, but still enjoyable. Service was friendly and managers were roaming around to help out. That said, if you want to go on a Friday night or weekend...make a reservation. We did not and so got sat in the bar area (where the host stand is) and it was so loud I physically recoiled a few times. Having a drunk 6-top next to us didn't help, but the small space really amplifies the noise.

A surprising find! My buddy and I have been trying to meet up more often and enjoy bourbon, so have been going to a bar. However, when our schedules aligned on a Monday, we needed to find a new place as the usual haunt was closed. Google had me stumble upon Subourbon and I'm glad that it did. While the location initially had me a bit wary, entering the establishment had a more upscale feel than I was expecting. It's not an opulent Michelin starred restaurant, but very nice for the bourbon forward bar that it is. Service was prompt and friendly, giving us plenty of space to catch up. The bourbon selection was quite plentiful and with some of their specials, I know we'll be coming back. Probably the most surprising was the quality of food that comes out of the kitchen. I had their shrimp and grits and appreciated the presentation and removal of the tails for eating. We also got a few appetizers that were great! Bottom line - I'll be returning to Subourbon for their Thursday whiskey flights. It's definitely worth a stop and punches above its weight class for the area.

You'll enjoy Subourbon anytime you go, but you'll especially enjoy Subourbon during happy hour. Signature cocktails that normally sell for $13 are $7! Their impressive array of small plates are deeply discounted as well. Their 4pm-6pm Happy Hour even extends to Saturday, and their "Four Seasons Patio"ensures that there's enough space for you to get in on the fun. My wife and I split several starters. I enjoyed my chai old fashioned. Deviled Eggs were nice -- better than many others that I had in both size and flavor. Cornbread was really good as was the Pimento Cheese Dip. Fried Green Tomatoes were okay. Entree-wise, we split the Honey Butter Fried Chicken which laid across a bed of Brussel Sprouts and Mashed Potatoes. I put this dish in the "good-not-great" category. We tried the Sweet Potato Pie dessert, and (unlike the Deviled Eggs) it disappointed in size and taste. But rooted in the "Great" category is the service. Our server Andre was magnificent in his knowledge of the menu and welcoming disposition. His kindness was matched by that of the manager who diligently worked to get our gift certificate to work when there was an initial snafu. I can't thank them enough.

My family and I had the pleasure of hosting a small party at Subourbon Restaurant last year, and it was nothing short of a delightful experience. The moment we stepped in, we were enveloped in an ambiance that can only be described as warmly inviting, with decorations that transported us to the charm of an old tavern. The unique decor contributed significantly to the overall atmosphere, making our evening even more special. The culinary experience at Subourbon was exceptional. Although I can't recall the specifics of what everyone ordered, the unanimous verdict was that each dish was a hit. A standout for me was their fried green tomato - an absolute revelation! It was so good that it left a lasting impression, becoming a highlight of our dining experience. The service we received was top tier. Our server was exceedingly attentive, ensuring that our evening progressed smoothly without any hitches. It's rare to find such dedicated service that makes you feel both valued and taken care of. However, it wasn't all without a slight drawback. My one and only gripe pertains to the bourbon pricing. While I understand that premium and allocated bottles come at a higher cost, I found the markups at Subourbon to be quite steep. This was true not only for the rare finds but also for what one might consider standard top-shelf bourbons. The prices seemed excessively high, which was a bit of a letdown in an otherwise impeccable dining experience. Despite this, our overall experience at Subourbon Restaurant was immensely enjoyable. From the atmospheric setting and the delectable food to the exemplary service, it was an evening to remember. While the bourbon prices were a tad disappointing, it doesn't detract from the fact that Subourbon offers a dining experience that's well worth indulging in. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a special dining experience, with a gentle reminder to be mindful of the bourbon selections if you're watching your budget.

Love this place and am happy they aren't far from home. We came for Restaurant Week on Friday night in time for Happy Hour. We sat at the bar and our bartender was amazing. Friendly and speedy. I had a cocktail to start, with Fried Green Tomatoes. Yum. A nice glass of Malbec went well with my three courses: Hush Puppies with honey pecan butter, Voodoo Pasta with added shrimp, and a slice of Sweet Potato Pie. They outdid themselves. It's become one of my favorite restaurants now.

I wish I could do 4.5...it's not a 5 but very close! They do things right here. You feel like you are welcomed, the bartender (Derek) is outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable and totally on top of things. The Happy Hour is really great. You can try so many dishes for only $7 each. It's cozy, warm and definitely worth the Happy Hpur!
