What People Are Saying About Bourbon Blue

In Short – More Wyeth farmhouse than Bourbon Street bistro, this Manayunk restaurant isn't what you'd expect from its name. Instead of bawdy beads and hurricane mixers, Bourbon Blue offers thick stone walls and a rustic yet refined, dining room that separates diners from the young Banana The menu includes oysters with gouda dressings and crawfish etoufee creatively tops fried tomatoes. The adobo topping on the porterhouse tastes tangy and the saving grace? Chocolate bourbon pecan pie.

Its a cool place!

by tekkid

I have been here 5 times and always have a good time. The hostess, car service guy and bouncers know me. They welcome me back and we make small talk... I feel like norm from cheers when i go in there. Food is excellent to me. I dont understand the negative comments i've read below. Some of the comments, have never happen to me as yet.

  • Pros: Car service, food, atmosphere, service

Nice place for dinner and drinks

by dbenders

I liked the idea of this place, so I kind of took some of the negative reviews with a grain of salt and went anyway. We really had a good time. The service was very good, everyone loved their food and the atmosphere was perfect. We had a dinner reservation before 9pm so there wasn't a cover and we didn't have the 18% included gratuity that people complained about. Maybe that stuff happens downstairs where the live band was playing. If you want music, but are more concerned with eating I recommend staying in the upstairs dining room. The music is definitely loud enough. Overall, it was a great night and we would go back.

Don't waste your money

by drewgu

Went there early Saturday evening to celebrate a college graduation. Waitress service was spotty. We had three groups seated at the bar tables and had trouble getting served drinks. One group had to wait over an hour for its entrees. Two of our groups were served meals and were finished 1/2 hour before the meals for the third group arrived. This was even after we were assured several times that our food would be right out. The food was mediocre at best. Side vegetables were lukewarm. We would have sent all food back except we didn't want to wait another hour. Save your money and go elsewhere.

  • Pros: Parking service
  • Cons: Waitress service, waiting time, food quality
