Dartmouth Cafe

I am from the south so good southern comfort food is hard to find up here! The chicken and waffles are delicious! The waffle and the syrup is wonderful, but I do wish the chicken was more seasoned and crispier The salad was absolutely delightful and the hash was pretty good and well seasoned, not enough brisket for my taste

We had a great brunch here this past Sunday. The place is right off newburry and super close to the back bay station and copley station. The atmosphere and decor were great and I liked how the place was set up. We had a nice table in the back room which was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and always around when you needed them. Ordering was fast and easy and food came out quick. We tried their biscuits which were incredible. Served with a spreadable cheese and brown sugar sauce, they were so worth it. The buttery and sweet dish was biscuits on another level. I had the french beignets and tried the biscuits and gravy, a rare option from what I’ve seen in the area. Both were extremely tasty and with a deep flavor. The biscuits used were tha same as their signature ones so you can imagine the flavor. The whole brunch experience here was excellent and very worth it. Prices were great and food was very delicious. I will definitely be back!

I'd say Buttermilk & Bourbon is pretty good across the board, but not amazing. They recommend about four plates for two people, which is a lot of food. I'd recommend three plates (depending on what you get) if you also want dessert. We got the biscuits (amazing, but the spreads it comes with are just okay); Chicken sliders (amazing); Fried chicken (good, but it needs to come with some picked something or other to help break up the flavor); Brisket Mac and cheese (just okay, the person I was with liked it more (very, very little brisket, btw)); The ribs (great, but the sause they come with makes the Mac salad kind of sweet, which was off putting to me); The bread pudding peach cobbler (amazing!)

Great spot for a change of pace. The atmosphere is nice, it's loud with conversations but nicely set up. The fried chicken is brilliantly fried and flavorful. The sweet and spicy sauce is spicy to me, but could be good for you. The brisket mac is very cheesy, it has a nutty undertone that is delicious. We also got the beignets- PHENOMENAL! So flaky and sweet. It was a great finish to a savory meal! The soft serve mimosa is a nice cold refreshing drink. The bartenders made sure to keep an eye on us and all their other patrons with some very attentive servic.

Normally, I don’t enjoy tapas style but this was fun and good. I ordered the fried chicken boneless thighs with the white BBQ sauce. It was excellent. The street corn was pretty good but the special Swordfish came blackened and so over cooked I only ate one bite. I did eat all of the potato salad though. I was a little surprised to be charged full price for it. I should have sent it back but my server disappeared. All in all it was a good meal. I’d go there again, probably.
