Boro Bourbon & Brews

Popped in for quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. Ample portions, displayed very nicely. We left before the live music started. Great little joint just off the square.

Gave Boro Bourbon & Brews a shot for the first time with my wife. We order cheese curds for an appetizer. She got a plain burger (she doesn't like toppings) and I ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich. Both orders came with fries and we both had water to drink.

Dylan was our server. We sat ourselves at a table in the back near the restrooms and had our drinks received and app order placed within 15 minutes of arriving. We got there close to 5pn and it wasn't busy inside.

The cheese curds arrived hot with a side of marinara sauce. They are decent, but I wouldn't call them cheese curds. It's just mini fried mozzarella bites. They're very (and I mean VERY) greasy.

My wife ordered her burger well done (you can have your burgers cooked to order, which I really like). There was still a little bit of pink in the middle but not enough for her to send back. It definitely had a char grilled flavor and tasted fresh (I had a bite). She's not the biggest fan of char grilled flavor so if you're not either, you may not like their burgers. But objectively speaking, they're good quality.

My Philly cheese steak sandwich was the best part of my dining experience here. The meat was savory and juicy, the bread was slightly toasted on the outside but still soft with a nice chew. I didn't change anything about how it comes (provolone cheese, peppers and onions) and these ingredients really enhanced the power house of flavor that this sandwich delivers.

The fries that came with both of our meals definitely tasted fresh. I'm not sure what they're seasoned with, but it definitely has a mild, sweetness to it (maybe a barbecue seasoning). Again, my main gripe is how greasy they were, same as the cheese curds.

Lastly, you'll be given the option to pay your bill with cash or card, with card being slightly more. I've seen this before back north where I'm from, but hardly ever around here. If you wanna save a buck, bring cash lol.

Overall, not a bad place. I won't be running back here anytime soon, but definitely not going to stay away either.

I was REALLY excited for this place but as it sits today after my first visit, I'm just a little disappointed. I would like to try again in a while but we'll see.

Went in on Sunday afternoon, it was dead except for people at the bar. We seated ourselves and initially got quick service. However service dwindled, even with no increased patronage, so we paid and left.

Ordered the fries, beer Mac and cheese, and a few cocktails (alcohol and non alcoholic). The fries were absolutely fantastic. Best fries in town if I had to bet on it. However, the Mac and cheese was lukewarm and felt like it was terribly microwaved before it hit my plate and table. Extremely disappointed.

As for service, our server was mostly absent. Sat at a table with coworkers folding napkins and utensils for 20 minutes without checking on us while complaining about coworkers to other coworkers. Then retreated to be back for another 5 and finally came to check on us, at which point I cashed out and left instead of spending more money like I planned.

Atmosphere was good. It's nice, has a live music stage, and a good amount of TVs for football. A good Sunday afternoon spot I'd say..assuming service is better. Unfortunately the atmosphere is deteriorated by what appeared to be a regular patron or two that accosted the staff, was pretty belligerent and pretty rude. Should I return and this person is here, it's an absolute no go. The establishment should ask him to leave after he clearly has had enough yet.. he's still being served.

I'll try it again in the future but I'll wait until maybe it hits its 12 month mark before I come back to ensure it's established and the staff issues have been worked out.

I had the Berry Berry Salad & Bourbon Peach Cobbler.. both extremely good. You could taste the effort that was put in to making each bite. Amazing staff, vibe, and location. M’Boro needed this joint, and I’m looking forward to returning!

Excellent new addition to the scene on the square! The food is fabulous, the atmosphere is super cool with tvs everywhere to watch the games, the garage doors open makes it feel like the whole place is a giant patio, and the people are awesome! My new favorite spot!
