    Shelby recommended the southern biscuits or something with chicken and street corn. It was delicious!! Thank you for also bringing back pork belly tacos. What gives this rating a 5 star is that Shelby was my server. She is all that and a bag of chips. She is the heart of bourbon and always makes every visit the best experience. She makes me feel like I can walk on water. See you next time.

    It was pretty good but the eggs were runny even though we ordered them scrambled. I didn’t eat my eggs and 2 of my kids didn’t eat theirs either.

    The food was excellent and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Our server was terrible and definitely the worst I've experienced at any BHG restaurant, so I think/hope that was a fluke. Everything else was wonderful and I've been here many times and always experienced great service.

    Shelby was an amazing server and Apollo shared his wealth of knowledge with us. Both took time to explain the great cocktails and food. Thoroughly enjoyed our first experience at OBC Kitchen and can’t wait to return! Thank you!!!

    Everyone in our party was able to find something they desired on this wide, but contained menu. I'd be hard pressed to imagine someone being disappointed here. Bonus - this summer, if you spend $100, you receive a $25 gift card to use by the end of July.
