Lee Ann WilliamsJanuary 30, 2016The Bourbon House is wonderful. I had the roasted chicken with jambalaya risotto! Perfect chicken not dry at all and then I finished with Creme brûlée for dessert! Oh and the corn and crab soup was so- Nicole CheramieNovember 9, 2018This popular spot down Bourbon Street's best kept secret is breakfast & drinks. Come early and dig into a fried chicken biscuit with hot sauce & honey or grab a Bourbon Milk Punch for an adult treat.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
- C’mon in. Sit down 🪑 at the raw bar and let Perry and the crew shuck you some of the freshest and tastiest oysters 🦪 around. Yes 🙌 have a nice glass of your favorite beverage too! Certainly NOLA
Sunil SubramanianJuly 31, 2016The bourbon bbq shrimp,fish of the day,cold seafood platter, catfish pecan, and shrimp scampi were all amazing. For dessert the chocolate banana pudding, and the chocolate pecan crunch were delicious- Nicole CheramieNovember 9, 2018This popular seafood spot down Bourbon Street's best kept secret is its Bourbon Milk Punch cocktail. Order this adult treat at the oyster bar and stay to watch them shuck the oysters for a fun show.
- Djaniella D.June 1, 2017I'd recommend the char broiled oysters as an appetizer and the smothered chicken for dinner.. YUM!!
Dianne BengtsonJune 17, 2013Seafoof Gumbo was the best I had on the whole trip. Stuffed crab is sensational. Paneed Veal to die for. Chocolate bread pudding served with bourbon sauce is beyond description. I'll be back!
SailorFebruary 2, 2020I loved the service and the ambiance and the food was delicious although i’d rather it been hot than arrived at the table all at the same time.
Divya MulanjurDecember 24, 2014The bourbon milk punch was amazing! Like dessert,but with a smooth kick to the end of a sip. So good. And the service was excellent.
Melonee GainesJuly 6, 2016The team approach to serving can get a little confusing but great service, lovely ambience. Those tuna poke nachos deserve a standing ovation!
Andres MendozaOctober 13, 2013We ordered the baked ouster trio, the BBQ Shrimps and the Milk Bourbon and everything was amazing! Nice place and even better considering that we didn't need to wait an hour in a line- Tim BreitbergDecember 6, 2013Great bourbon selection, great oysters Rockafeller, good food. make sure and get a glencairn with your bourbon, they have their logo on there and it's only 45, which is $2 less than retail.
Gabriel HayesSeptember 24, 2015The Frozen Bourbon Milk Punch is so good. A creamy blend of milk, ice cream and Old Forester Bourbon.
Great oysters, great entrees and amazing bourbon selection! Make this a must on your list of your staying in the vieux carre!
Sandra CifoMay 8, 2017Charbroiled oysters the size of your hand, crab cake to die for, Louise salad with such good dressing and red fish that is amazing- The Bourbon Milk Punch is a must! Get it for dessert. Order a large or you’ll regret it!
Pamela ValoreDecember 21, 2016Not sure what it is about the oysters here as opposed to any other place, but these are seriously the best, hands-down!
- Their bourbon milk punch is my favorite drink in New Orleans!
Jamie FarringtonMarch 15, 2012The crab crusted gulf fish is AMAZING. Definitely recommend it! Along with a dozen raw oysters to complete the meal. Boyfriend got the roasted chicken and thought it was delicious
Tanya RojasNovember 21, 2015Great place. Loved the whisky flights. Get the bourbon milk for dessert.
KenFebruary 12, 2013Happy hour from 4-6, oysters and small plates. Combine that with pecan crunch and a $2.50 mini-bourbon milkshake and an Abita draft, and you have a taste of victory!
Richard RevillaJanuary 25, 2015Come here for Oysters that is really the purpose. Restaurant is laid out very nice and staff is very friendly.

MattJune 3, 2013The oysters are excellent and the bourbon selection is off the charts. It's going to be tough keeping this expense report reasonable.
Jessica FloresAugust 31, 2012The $4 kids pasta is surprisingly large. It's the best kids menu deal I've ever seen.
Colleen Newvine TebeauApril 12, 2011Go for happy hour to get $1 oysters. Sit at the bar and watch Rickey shuck 'em faster than you can eat 'em. Also my favorite shrimp remoulade in town.
