Drawing on the South’s trademark charm, the restaurant offers a vibrant, cozy atmosphere with an innovative American menu featuring Southern-influences. Santos channels his love of New Orleans and all things Southern to transport guests to the Bayou by way of Buttermilk & Bourbon.
Takeout and delivery services are available via our website and Doordash. There are 3 options for seating: Standard (Indoors), High-Top (Indoors) and Patio (Outdoor). All outdoor patio reservations are subject to being canceled in the event of inclement weather. We offer a fifteen-minute grace period and ask that you call us if you will be running late or your reservation may be cancelled.
*We allot 1 hour and a half for a reservation of 2 guests and 2 hours for reservations consisting of 3 or more guests.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

    I wish Jason’s restaurants had more room. Both buttermilk locations are tight spaced and uncomfortable. The crab dip was great at the back bay location last year, but this year it was not my top fav nor was the dirty fries . The wagyu and everything else is always great.

    Food used to be a lot better (and portions bigger/more balanced re: sides/veg-centric options). Now it's oversalted and overpriced, and the service is pretty lousy (waiters who had no idea what they were doing, runners who took away dishes before people were done eating).

    Great time at B&B as always! Service was attentive, which was great. The food was just ok this time, but it might’ve been an off-day for the kitchen. Still one of my go-tos! Got the biscuit basket (10/10), the hash scramble (5/10), and the biscuits and gravy (6/10). The Biscuits and Gravy tend to be my favorite but the gravy was really watery this time and had soooo many crunchy onions.

    Food came out incredibly fast, and was delicious, but I’m really sad to see that they’ve lost some of their vegetarian options on the menu.

    Overall we had a great meal. The ambiance is very cool. I really like this place and will return. One thing they could improve on is time processing the check. It took quite a long time for our server to get our check after I'd put my credit card in it.
