259 St Paul St, St. Catharines, ON L2R 3M7, Canada
Downtown St. Catharine's first Bourbon & Smokehouse. We offer a wide variety of spirits, cocktails and craft beer - including a selection of hand-picked rare bourbons. Our menu caters the best in smoked meats, smoked exclusively with Niagara fruit woods. Nothing goes wasted in our smoking process, as the drippings provide the perfect flavour to our house-made bbq sauces and gravy. From our small bites, to our sandwiches and even our B.Y.O.P. (Build your own platters), our menu offers something for everyone, whether you're in for a quick lunch or ready to dive-in mouth first. Not a meat-eater? We have you covered too! We provide a variety of Veggie options including our Mac & Cheese.
We have been dying to try this place out. So happy we did. We ordered a Caesar and a silversmith red, both were delicious. Then we ordered a burnt end app... delicious. For our mains he ordered the brisket sandwich which he said was the best one he's ever had, and I had the smash burger with a side of Mac and cheese who our awesome server made my Mac and cheese with fresh dill, some pickles & buttermilk ranch! 🤤🤤 I'm sorry I didn't catch our servers name - she was so great. Awesome afternoon here ... highly Suggest
Made reservations for 630 and was seated on time but after our server shared the features, we never saw him again. Someone else finally came to take our drink order 35 minutes later. The drinks we ordered were good, thankfully. When she brought us our drinks we ordered an appetizer to share. We ordered burnt ends and these took about 40 minutes to come out. Other tables have come and gone at this point. Also, the cornbread was dry. The service was very slow and we were very disappointed when we left.
Server was incredibly friendly and the food was incredible, such amazing smoke flavor. They gave me a sauce which was good but it wasn’t needed, the meat flavor shines through.
Wow. So delicious. These guys don't mess around. So delicious. Absolutely amazing. Make a reservation, as this place is packed... Rightfully so. The meat falls off of everything.
Excellent food, service was actually great but a little short in staff. Light was slightly too dim but all and all I would say is more like 4.9 stars then the 4 stars I gave but I didn't have that option😂 strongly recommend, I would say is a MUST TRY if you are around the area.
We had a great experience at Bourbon and Smoke. The deviled eggs were a beautiful and yummy start to our meal. We order the 3 meat platter and upgraded to the ribs. Everything was really delicious and for 2 people it works out to good value. The waitress was very kind and friendly and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. She makes awesome cocktails that clearly take a lot of effort and we'll thought out ingredients. Even their seltzer was yummy! We'll definitely be back!
My husband and I smoke meat regularly and are always leary when trying a restaurant that sells any BBQ and smokes meats. We were encouraged to try this place and boy are we glad we did. We were there later in the evening on a Saturday, and service was friendly and quick, but not so quick that you felt rushed. We chatted with the owner a bit and one of the cooks during our experience. I cant say weve been many places where that has happened and we do dine out a few times a month.As for the food, it was out of this world. Our daughters loved their smash burger and chicken taco. My husband and I each got the BYOP platters, and we shared and swapped between the 4 of us. We just couldn't put the food down lol. Needless to say we will be back!
We had a great time enjoying the delicious this amazing BBQ restaurant. Perfectly located, across from the Performing Arts and close walk to The Meridian Centre. The bourbon list is spectacular, i enjoyed a couple Wild Turkey 100 and a fabulous brisket sandwich with waffle fries. My buddies shared a platter of Nashville chicken, sausage and brisket with a smoked potato salad and we were very happy with our food. Definitely coming back.
The first time we went to 1954 with fam. We experienced amazing service and food was absolutely delicious. We were greeted with smile and great service. The food portion was more than enough and took some of tue delicious brisket home. I highly recommend this place.
Food was amazing, drinks were superb, people who served us were wonderful. Delightful, considerate and kind, made us feel so warm and welcome :)
Very mid. Onion dip was definitely just cream cheese/mayo blend with onion dip mix (served cold). Service was slow. Portions were okay.
Amazing flavours!
A casual restaurant with delicious food and friendly service.
Amazing food would recommend a million times over.. we got the family platter and the sides were huge the platter was huge. We had leftovers for three days. That s with having 4 people eating it.. we also did get an appetizer. Kid-friendliness: Brought my seven week old baby and they made sure there was Space it is a small place so buggies are probably not the way to go but car seats are.. there is only like one or two tables that can really accommodate a little baby. But it was still a good time
Food was so so so good! Our server was personable and knew every answer to each question. Would come back 100%.
Phenomenal food. Amazing service. Came hear for dinner and was a little hesitant when I saw the smaller menu items but oh my god me and my girlfriend were shocked. The mushroom toast was unbelievable and the bison was incredible.
Joe knows his stuff when it comes to bourbon selection and really good bbq. Awesome restaurant. Food
These guys have some of the best BBQ my wife and I have ever had. They also catered our wedding in 2023 and the food was smoked on-site and was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The amazing customer service provided, coupled with the incredible food, make this place a must-go! We will absolutely be back.
Who opens a restaurant takes a reservation and doesnt open lol. Not sure 1 star is fair
If I could give this place a negative 0 I would. Completely Horrible Food, and extremely bad customer Service. Would never spend my money at this dump again.
No idea about what the food or service are actually like since I made a reservation 10 days in advance and when I called to confirm, I was told they were closed for renovations. They are terrible at answering the phone as well. I m not sure how I lucked out and had someone pick up only to tell me my reservation wasn t a reservation after all. It took about 10 attempts over 3 days to get the phone answered when I made the reservation in the first place.
I didn t even eat here and I m disappointed. My boyfriend and I wanted to try this place for my birthday dinner because of the great reviews! We called a few times and no one picked up the phone. We couldn t even leave a voicemail because it was full, so we just assumed they were busy. We decided to just try going there anyways and found out they weren t even open. No indication on their website or any social media, no sign on the door, nothing in their voicemail message, NOTHING! I would still like to try this place but this whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.
Service was very good , great nachos with fried chicken !! Ginette liked the wine !! Food : 5/5
A great choice in St Catharines. The food is wonderful. The menu has many different types of food to choose from. The service is excellent. Parking: Two municipal parking lots as well as stree parking are within a short walking distance.
Awesome place, if you are a lover of all things bourbon and smoke this is the place for you, had a great night celebrating my birthday with friends, our host was amazing and so accommodating! Would highly recommend!!
Tried to place orders many times during posted open times no answer and closed. This place is very inconsistent with their hours of operation. Great food but needs better management!
Bartender made me a fantastic yuzu cocktail and I loved it when I took a sip and the cucumber tickled my nose. Will definitely go back and see what else tickles my fancy.
Very surprising ! It was delicious! I ordered crispy shrimp tacos , blackened fish tacos and fried chicken tacos. The tacos are $6 to $7 each, and soooo good The drink, grannys banana bread, made with bourbon , was so delicious ! I recommend ! Food
If you like dry brisket, tasteless cornbread and baked beans straight from the can this is your place, My advise do not waste your money at this restaurant.
I had the chicken sandwich. It was really good, although it did not come with a side, you have to purchase that separately. The sandwich was already quite expensive for it not to come with a side. I had a cocktail, my friend did as well. Both drinks came out smelling like old dish rags. It was so bad that we couldn t finish our drinks. Service was great, atmosphere was great.
Most of the meat we were served was 3/4 fat. Won t waste my money on this establishment ever again. Been to many smoke houses and not one would ever serve you the garbage we were served.
Bartender was great and food was amazing ! Hidden gem .
I dont know about the food, i dont know about the atmosphere, but I do know about the service. Answer your phone. It took 35 tries to get through to make a reservation for Fathers Day, ours plans changed and were trying to cancel our reservation to free up our table. Its been 3 days of calling with no answer.
Food was bomb. Service was great. Cute little pub vibe. Couldn t have asked for more for a family dinner spot.
This place was fantastic. I will admit when I walked in I thought to myself, hmmm they re not busy . It picked up quickly. The atmosphere was warm, dim lights, with a rustic vibe. The server was great. He was friendly and attentive. The drinks were well made and had a very nice presentation. The food was amazing. Great flavors. We started with the bomb onion dip. The name did not lie. We did not leave an ounce behind. We both ordered the BYOP. We tried the coleslaw, baked beans, Mac and cheese, brisket, Nashville hot chicken, smoked chicken, ribs and of course corn bread. The only complaint is that we were too full to finish. Bonus is we have left overs. It is definitely worth a try!
An experience! Food was top notch, drinks were fun and I loved watching what others ordered as everything was so unique!
When we travel we love trying random restaurants. We try to avoid chain restaurants, currently wishing we lived in the area so we could go back. If we end up in the area again wed definitely come.back here. Food and service was phenomenal!
Impossible to contact. Ive tried calling to book on multiple occasions. Never once have they picked up the phone, the voice-mail box is always full and they dont respond when I try to book a reservation through their website.
Always a great experience. Love going for dinner before the concerts. Always very accommodating and kind. Will make sure your food is exactly as you want it. Everything I have had over the last 2 years has been delicious.
Unreal spot seeiously should be 5 stars
Excellent food, good service.
Kid-friendliness: I see children in there enjoying themselves with their parents all of the time. Food
Best bar on St Paul st. Pulled pork is fantastic. Food
Perfect atmosphere. The staff are friendly, attentive, and inviting. All prices are very reasonable, and the variety is fantastic. The food is memorable, for all the right reasons. Will be back.
Great discovery! The food and service were just excellent. I had the fish and pulled pork tacos and a caesar salad which came with real thin slices of cheese. Honestly, the fish was perfectly cooked, well garnished with an assortment of veggies including red cabbage. The pulled pork was just as well garnished and so tasty. I also picked at my friends baked beans that combined the right amount of smoke and sweetness. Price very reasonably for the quality! I will return. Parking: After six free parking on all streets. Kid-friendliness: The tacos are definitely kid friendly
Best food in St. Catharines. Tacos are the best, bbq is an obvious choice, don t sleep on the chicken sandy or the burger either!
Drove a long way to come here and tried calling a few times first. Google says open, the website says open, but it s closed. Staff are inside too, so why they wouldn t answer the phone to let patrons know they re closed is beyond me but it s incredibly rude.
7 of us went for dinner last night. First time dining here and it will definitely not be our last. Service was amazing and the cocktails out of this world and well priced compared to other local places. The table shared two platters and everything was delicious! Well done Bourbon and Smoke!
Best mac and cheese that Ive had in my entire life! Oh my goodness! We had the regular mac with pulled pork, unreal. We also had the Deviled eggs (really delicious and interesting take on a classic), and fried&Nashville chicken sandwiches (amazing, of course). The 3 cocktails we had were perfect. Atmosphere was nice and tied in well with the cuisine, and the staff were really helpful, informative and nice. Really wonderful spot!
Food was great. Interesting bar menu with a bartender that knew what he was doing
Great food, and great service.
I was SOOO disappointed. We tried calling for over an hour no answer on either phone number I could find. The only way we could order was through DoorDash. We order the family dinner and I strongly question the Brisket and pulled pork. There was 1 piece of brisket in the container and maybe a handful of pulled pork. Really $130 buys you that. Such a disappointment .
Service outstanding food was great and the music was amazing highly recommend this place
The passion and commitment to providing excellent food and a fantastic dining experience are key to this great restaurant.
We loved the place. The food was great, he price reasonable and the service attentive. I guess, this earns them 5 stars.
1954 Bourbon & Smoke in St. Catherines is a place you need to dine at. Our four-some shared two platters of BBQ goodness. Corn bread. Buttermilk deep fried boneless chicken. Melt in your mouth ribs and pulled pork. Brisket. Smoked Mac n Cheese AND Smoked Potato Salad. Cole slaw and slices of heavenly pickles. Nevermind the selection of rare and vintage Bourbons.
Fantastic, food was perfect. Did the BYOP (Build your own plater). Everything on the plate was amazing. Smoked Nigroni was a great addition! We will be back.
Great atmosphere. Amazing food, service and unique cocktails. The owner is wonderful!!
Went to Bourbon and Smoke for a late meal. Had the place to ourselves. Atmosphere was great. Owner and waitress were very personable. Food was amazing. We tried the Brisket, Pulled Pork and Fried Chicken. Mac and Cheese very good and very filling. Nachos were fantastic. Highly recommend and will definately be coming back again.
Excellent BBQ dinner with outstanding service. Loved the fried chicken and fish tacos. Amazing Bourbon selection to finish the evening.
Incredible food and drinks. Ive never enjoyed brisket in my life until coming here!
The drinks are smokin! The deviled eggs are devine, and the BBQ - wow! High quality proteins cooked to perfection!
fantastic food and nice people
I am still fantasizing about the ribs and I m not even a ribs girl. They left a very delicious and smoked taste in my mouth. The server was very friendly and down to earth. He truly takes the time to make sure we are catered to. He really hit it off with my guy so that s a bonus. Thank you so much Joe. Looking forward to coming back for more ribs. Oh and don t even get me started on the biscuits.
Food was awesome , had the butter and booze cocktail amazing . Will definitely be back
Fantastic food and portion sizes! Great customer service too.
I was overall not very impressed, but I acknowledge that Im just not the target audience here. I also went in on Family Day, so Im assuming they had a sleleton crew working to explain the long wait times. It took 15 minutes just to receive menus. The atmosphere was dark and loud, which did not make it easy to read black menus with white text or have a conversation at a reasonable volume. It also didnt really do the food pictures justice, because the presentation was great. The food was pretty good, but I was hoping for better at the price point. It also did not have bearly as much smoke flavour as expected. They had a lot of fancy cocktails and craft beers that I did not try because I dont drink much, but it seems like they are the main thing to go here for. They even have smoked cocktails, which add some theatrics to the experience. Overall Id say that having a bit more light at the tables or a menu colour change would make a bit difference for a lot of people. I would also suggest listing some non-alcoholic options as I had to guess which soft drinks were available and that can be a lot of pressure for someone who doesnt do well in situations with a lot of alcohol and seemingly no other options... Most of my issues were the not for me, but I see the appeal type, though. I could see this being a perfect experience for someone with different preferences.
We ordered through Skip the Dishes, so I cant speak to the atmosphere in the restaurant, but man oh man, the food was amazing! Ive traveled down south dozens of times, I would say the cornbread and mac and cheese rivals anything Ive had before. The fried chicken was also good, but I thought it came with buttermilk ranch (based on pictures I saw) so a little disappointed I didnt get any. Smoked chicken was also good, brisket was a small piece, but excellent flavor. Paid an upcharge for the ribs, but worth every penny. Four huge meaty ribs, that I couldnt finish in one sitting. The only negative, which might not be for others, was that the baked beans were spicy. Like, blow my socks off, spicy. Excited to try the cole slaw and potato salad next time.
We had an absolutely amazing meal here tonight! Great food, great drinks and wonderful service.
8 for Dinner on Thursday night / couldnt be happier with the food/ we had a selection of almost everything , and all was delicious ! Cocktails expertly made and service friendly and efficient. Over all an absolutely great place !
As a food lover, this is what it s all about. For an incredible 7 dollars, I got the best english muffin sandwich i ve ever had, and some amazing french toast. The portions are perfectly plentiful and the food is made with a deep affection for food and attention to detail.
Great food, good portions but our waiter/bartender was alone and because of that our food temperature suffered. Mac & Cheese was luke warm at best. My fries were cold and my sandwich was warm on one side and cold on the other (seemed like it sat halfway under a heat lamp). I was able to get my fries replaced but by the time our food had arrived we had already been there for an hour and 20mins and we didnt have time to ask for the food to be warmed up. Again I know this is because the waiter/bartender was alone and he never stopped moving but you can only do so much so he wasnt able to check on the tables. I would love to try this place on a less busy day (there was a show across the street we were going to). My wife had the Smoke & Mirrors drink and it was delicious, my son had the Spruce Willis (first time he has had a drink with bitters) and really enjoyed it. The Tuna Ceviche and the Bomb Onion Dip were amazing. We had the Porkys Revenge, Nashville Hot and the Brisket sandwich which were all delicious. My mother had the Cob salad which was huge and she couldnt even finish it. Even our food ended up in a takeout container.
The experience was all around very positive!! I wish the platter we received was a bit hotter. Maybe put the entire platter in the oven for a few minutes before serving, toss the sides on and you re good to go!! Dietary restrictions: I can t have lactose and the server was very helpful and courteous.
If you re looking for a smoked old fashion, this is where you want to go
We stopped in for late night ccktails and apps. Everything was excellent and customer service was over and above. We will definitely be back.
Absolutely amazing. Cant say anything other than that. Just go here....
Great service, fun drinks, awesome top shelf tequila, the smoke&mirrors drink smells and tastes amazing!!!
I drove from Chippawa to St . Catherines to find out that the information on your website is incorrect!!!! Your restaurant was closed !!!!!! Tuff competition in this area owning a restaurant, if you change your hours update them on the website. Pretty simply recipe for success!!!
Simply awesome! Couple date night so we got the platter and we were all stuffed! Everything was great, brisket, pulled pork, chicken everything!! Food : 5/5
Not only did they remake my order 3 different times due to my delivery driver being delayed, they called and ensured I was up to date and to let them know if I had any issues. Truly above and beyond service and food quality, I cannot stress enough how much respect and care they place into each and every meal. Visit them, do it now, don t hesitate.
Everything about this place is amazing. The drinks, staff and food.
We had tickets for a show across the street tonight-so delicious!!! If you like Mexican this is the place to go!! The nachos and tacos were so good the waiter was awesome too! Will be back!!
Incredible BBQ. From food to service, only good things to say. Our server with the sick tattoo sleeve was so lovely and thoughtful. We re BBQ fiends, and this was probably the best brisket, pulled pork, and fried chicken that we ve had. I m a huge fan of Matty Matheson s Meat + 3, and I thought 1954 was comparable but after 2 more bites, honestly, I think 1954 is better than Matty s. The BBQ is juicer and more tender than Matty s- and Matty s BBQ was really good to me so that s saying something about 1954. We got the BYOP s with cornbread, baked beans, coleslaw, and potato salad. The pickles and the pickled jalapeños were phenomenal. It s gotta be a crime to serve pickles that good. Overall, quality BBQ and sides. Collectively an incredible meal. We re from Toronto but we ll definitely make the trip back just for the food and vibes. Yeah, I think I m in love with a BBQ joint. You are losing at life if you don t eat here at least once. Edited: *Added pictures
Cant say enough about the fantastic service and food here. We had 4 different tacos, smoked potato salad and the best mac and cheese I have ever had at a restaurant. We originally went into Trust Beer Bar around the corner but the server was more than rude, bordering on harrassment so we got up and left before ordering which ended up being great for us, otherwise we never would have found this gem,. Thank you for turning a disaster into an amazing evening!
Super disappointed. Made a reservation for tonight and left all my information. No one could be bothered to call and let us know they were closing for tonight. For mothers day weekend... thanks
My daughter booked us in there Saturday night for Mother s Day dinner. Got to the restaurant to only to find a sign on the door that they were closed. They had all the information they could ve called us and let us know but they left her hanging on Mother s Day weekend looking for another restaurant poor poor Professional conduct.
**** UPDATE**** As most people know after the pandemic things were rough, this business established itself midway through 2022 the end of the pandemic. They just recently had an overhaul of staff (MID MAY 2023) as there were SOME quality control issues. The owners are entirely dedicated to providing an excellent drink and dinner experience for the size of the establishment. Please continue to support your local business and if you had a bad experience in the past please give these guys another shot!!! Posting this May 27th 2023. Have full faith in this establishment. (The restaurant unfortunately suffered an unexpected hot water issue mothers day weekend and had to close on emergency orders, unfortunately staff were preoccupied with finding a solution to their issue and understandably were unable to reach out to customers.) Amazing restaurant 10/10 they have beautiful cocktails and AMAZING SOUTHERN FRIED BBQ. Ingredients are fresh and local, taste is always fresh and can vary depending on season, but always delicious. Staff is insanely attentive and given the hustle and bustle of St. Paul street they keep their establishment well maintained CLEAN and above all SAFE. Amazing cool dark environment, very chill music always playing. This is a top notch spot on St. Paul and St. Catharines in general.
This place was freaking fantastic, I did not come hungry enough because I want to try every single item on this menu! The drinks were absolutely fantastic aswell! I cant wait to go back!
From the onset of walking into the restaurant the owner and staff make you feel welcome! They are very kind, personable and knowledgeable on the drinks and menu. Their passion for what they do transcends to their interactions with patrons. We were in the area for our anniversary and would travel from Toronto just to visit this establishment. The food and people are incredible. Run, don t walk, come visit!!!!
Wife and I frequent Beechwood, and have passed this establishment many times! Have often thought of stopping in for a bourbon. Today was the day, Joe and his staff do not disappoint from the onset he was kind, attentive and his passion and love of what he does shine through! He knows his stuff when it comes to bourbon, the selection is fantastic, the food is incredible but it all pails in comparison to the hospitality provided. If you haven t been before, I would HIGHLY recommend you stop in for a chat, high quality food and drinks. You won t regret it, lifelong out of town customers made today. Thank you Joe!
best nashville hot chicken sandwich ive ever eaten genuinely! it was perfectly crispy, juicy, and soft! service was also so good, owner was super knowledgable and personable
Fantastic food
Brisket taste awesome , had a bourbon from Kentucky
Amazing food and customer service!!!!
Great food the best way I can describe it is meat candy.get a platter and try a few different things
All 3 of us had the pick 2 bbq. When it arrived it was played fairly decently. We chose the smoked chicken which was tasteless and dry AF, the pulled pork which was 1 of 2 ok items but still a bit tasteless, the brisket that was decent but still not seasoned, the ribs which were also tasteless and dry as a shoe, the sausage and the shrimp which were so so. The sides werent much better. We ordered the sweet tater fries which were too salty to eat (had no honey or butter), the cornbread which had no flavor at all, the reg fries that were ok, and the baked beans but sent them back because they were made with black eyed peas and were not a fan so we substatuted the tater salad ... Also flavorless. I ate, maybe 5 bites of each item on my plate. My wife left the ribs and tater salad. The service was awesome though... We let him know about the issues and he was very nice. He asked if we wanted the food that wasnt edible and we said yes (we have pups at home). He let the kitchen/ management know about our experience. Unfortunately he said that management wouldnt even offer a slight discount nor did they even come out to apologize for the horrible meal I just spent way too much on. Thumbs down for this place
Amazing smoked platter, lots of food that was smoke perfectly and still juicy! Drinks are unique and delicious. Server was excellent with great drink recommendations.
Horrible, horrible food. Ordered from here months ago and it was lovely. Tonight was awful. Baked beans were literally 2 types of flavorless canned beans stirred together. No sauce. Not baked. Cole slaw was wilted shredded cabbage drizzled with vinegar. No flavor - just sour. The fried chicken is inedible. Super dry little pieces of chicken with huge amounts of dark crinkly dried out almost burnt batter. Now we only have the pulled pork to talk about. Chemical taste, no sauce. They forgot to send the two portions we ordered. Better that way. We ordered the Ceviche (which was passable) which came with tortilla chips which were great. We need to talk about the packaging - Kraft paper bags for the chicken and the tortilla chips. Soaked through with grease. Wrap the food in wax paper. 90% of this order is utterly inedible and went straight in the garbage. The person preparing this food desperately needs training.
Food is always amazing, and drinks are spectacular!
Great food, great cocktails, great service!
Had a date night on the outdoor patio and had a great experience. We split the choose 3 platter with brisket, ribs and sausage. Everything was tender smoky and delicious. The chairs and tables and fine outdoors but the busy street does detract a little bit. Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is street level and would have no issues accommodating a wheelchair.
Was visiting St Catherines for work. I was casually looking for a hamburger joint but saw this place 1954. The atmosphere is dark with candlelight. Soulful jazz and soft rock play on the speaker. They serve smoked drinks (really wish I tried one) My favourite part of this experience was the food. I had the fried chicken platter, which was cooked to perfection. The honey drizzle was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place for a unique dining experience, with incredible food and service. Thank you! If I m in town again I ll be back.
I highly recommend not going. We made reservations for our sons Birthday and they did not open or call to cancel. Truly poor performance. Went next door and had a great time.
Took my reservation, had everyone show up and didnt even open. Extremely unprofessional. Would avoid.
Called and made reservations for a birthday dinner for tonight. 7 people showed up to a closed restaurant. Extremely unprofessional and very disappointed. Thankfully the restaurant next door (Twenty Kitchen & Bar) were open and able to accommodate 7 people at the last minute. Strongly recommend NOT going to this place.
I thought I d seen it all in the cocktail world wow. Talk about dinner and a show!!!!
Weve been eyeing this place for a while and we decided it was time to do it. We both ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and were not disappointed. Excellent flavour, and just the right portioning made the cost just right. The establishment was fresh and clean and the service was on point. Thanks for the quick lunch and well definitely be back!!
Food is fantastic! Very tasty and well smoked. Lots of flavor! Plenty of drink options - indoor and outdoor seating. Food
Really big portions! I d recommend sharing a two piece with someone, it s too big for one person. Nice presentation and food and drink options. In a nice spot too. I loved the waffle fries!
A bit slow but good
Best place in all of North America to get some bourbon
Amazing food snd great service.
An, almost, hilarious disappointment! Ordered a Cob Salad they were out of tomatoes: but also, added no bacon: no avocado a pathetic mess the side of chicken, burned & placed on the same plate My poutine was cold curds (very few) not melded together and the gravy mix, like sandpaper, not mixed properly and sprinkled at the bottom of dish (inedible, actually) you would be better served at the take out window in the drive thru at Wendy s , and save $50 bucks!
Tonight was our first time at 1954. Great service, the layers of flavour in the food were amazing. You wont be sorry to try this place out. Were definitely going back!
We had high hopes for this place and I really do hate leaving bad reviews but we needed to provide feedback in hopes that this restaurant will try to improve. My fiancé and I both ordered the same thing, 2 piece platter with brisket, pulled pork and 2 sides. Presentation was okay. -As you can see in the photo attached, the brisket had a TON of fat on either side, making for a very small amount of edible meat. My fiancés piece of brisket was even worse and completely inedible. We smoke meat at home including brisket and I wouldn t serve that piece to a dog. The server told us they apparently have people that specifically request fatty pieces. I believe that they have a serious misunderstanding of a fatty piece of brisket. Therefore I don t really buy that. Nonetheless, he made it right and brought us new pieces of brisket - which were not as fatty but still not good dry and rubbery and cut very thick. -Pulled pork was the best thing on the plate, a bit more flavourful and the sauce on the side was decent. My fiancé said he had a chemical taste from it though - we saw this mentioned in another review. -The sides were mediocre: corn bread was flavourless and hard on the outside, wasn t buttered. Baked beans was not baked beans. It was basically Chili and had heat to it, so it took away from the entire flavour and concept of baked beans. Overall, we did not taste any smoke at all in any of the meats. Our server was friendly and personable, but the food was just really disappointing. They are definitely trying to please a wide crowd with their diverse menu options, but are missing the mark on the BBQ and smoke aspect. We won t come back. Side note - they don t have burnt ends on the menu. Any legit bbq place would have that on their menu even as a side.
For over a decade Ive been to RibFests from London to Richmond Hill, Barrie to Niagara Falls and everywhere in between. RibFest season is my favourite time of year. I have likely tried all they have to offer and thought Id enjoyed some of the best BBQ back ribs in the world. That was until we stopped in this past Thursday, Sept 28, 2023 at 1954 on St. Pauls Street for dinner. The ribs were incredibly tender, incredibly juicy and incredibly flavourful, and that was before we put any sauce on them! The chef brought the ribs out with our choices of Bourbon sauce and Espresso sauce on the side, but encouraged us to try the ribs first before we drowned them. He wasnt wrong. What an experience! Who knew naked ribs could be this good! Then when I tried my ribs with the espresso BBQ sauce, it was game over. Best Ribs Ever! Full Stop! And as if things couldnt get any better, the slaw, baked beans and homemade cornbread put the whole meal over the top. I sincerely hope theyre able to expand to grow into additional locations and/or perhaps even participate at Rib Festivals across Ontario. The competition wont stand a chance! Bravo 1954! Bravo! Kid-friendliness: Our waiter and the chef were both incredibly friendly and helpful, and there are lots of options on the menu for kids to choose from. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs. Enter straight in of St. Paul Street, or dine on the outdoor sidewalk patio.
Wasnt overly impressed its quite a small restaurant and felt claustrophobic. Wait times were long for everything. The food was good for the most part but the coleslaw and beans were very disappointing for a BBQ spot.
Yup its me, the one that rounded up the bill and only tipped $4.80 and here is why... Coming from the service industry I will say that it is NOT in my nature to not tip or tip below par. However, having been to this restaurant twice before my expectations were high. To start off the restaurant was not busy, and we were not in a rush. It took awhile to order first drinks but they had one large table and when he did come take the order the server was helpful and recommended a drink based on personal tastes. After our drinks were brought over, we mentioned 1 more might join us but we would start with the onion dip. Onion dip came and it was great with the fried Pitas. The dish had too much dip (not a bad problem to have). Sounds like a good start thus far, but then it went downhill quick. By the time our third person arrived we waited and waited and waited for someone to come back over to take our order. Finally he came back and asked to take our order. We all had something different from the menu and oh boy did it miss the mark. I had the special which was supposed to be a pork belly BLT with Boston lettuce. The pork was cooked ok, a bit dry and my lettuce was not crispy at all, it was hot and soggy. My friend got the 2 piece plate with brisket and chicken, they gave her pulled pork and chicken instead (they did fix this) so she got to try all 3 meats. Chicken was ok, brisket was dry, thick and the pulled pork was bland. Oh and the cornbread... dry and completely flavorless. Dont mess up cornbread at a BBQ place, just dont. The last plate was a burger with a side poutine, and all we could say was should have gone to Harveys. This dish looked like it was off the kids menu with regards to the size. I wouldnt call that poutine an upgrade either. During all this the person that was last to arrive was still waiting on the water he ordered. Finally got some more water for the table and it wasnt until we were done eating that they returned to ask if we wanted anymore alcoholic beverages, which had I been asked before my food was brought out and my glass sat empty at the far end of the table I probably would have spent more money. In hindsight, Im not mad about that, final bills were outrageous for what we got. We were here for 2 hours, and like I said we werent in a rush, but our table was definitely neglected... offered 1 drink in that entire time. When we were done we waited such a long time for someone to come ask if we were done, I felt like I could have fallen asleep at the table. Finally the staff ended their convo by the bar to come top up our waters when we were clearly done and just looking for the bill. Even our third guest had to get going so the staff had to have seen them leave. Definitely a clue as to when I table is ready to go. Had the food just been the issue I would have tipped accordingly because we all know that isnt the servers fault. In this case the entire experience was off and this very much included the service we got. Service was lacking, timing was terrible. Food was underwhelming and tasteless. Will not be back.
Funky place, great Nashville Chicken as well as other goodies. Cobb salad fresh and delicious.Signature drinks are expensive but so worth it
Crispy shrimp tacos were delicious also enjoyed the drinks and deviled eggs
We had a great time here! The bartender/server was super friendly, attentive, and clearly cares about the customer experience. I would highly recommend the bomb onion dip and the fried chicken. The cocktails were good too!
I got the ribs, brisket and cornbread. Everything was great but next time Ill get just a plate of ribs and cornbread because they were so good. Unfortunately you have to pay extra to get ribs on your platter even though you only get 3. The drink menu looked good, but the prices were insane (most were $16 each) so we stuck with water. Id rate it higher if there werent so many things you had to pay extra for. Brisket was a bit bland. Tasted smokey but not seasoned.
Great BBQ spot downtown St.Catharines. Ive had the porkys revenge mac and the brisket sandwich, would highly recommend both. The few times Ive been, Ive always been pleasantly surprised with the amazing service, more than accommodating when it comes to food orders and drinks. Downtown isnt always my go to, but this place is definitely worth the trip.
Ordered the BFF Platter for takeout and had most of it reheated hours later and.... WOW I cant imagine how amazing it would be if we dined in and had it fresh fresh from their kitchen because we couldnt believe how outstanding it was reheated at home By far the best (in my opinion) was the ribs. Thick thick smoky skin with the most amazing deep flavours but still fell of the bone. These were the best ribs Ive ever had and have converted me to being a rib lover. I get it now Mac n cheese was jalapeno I believe and so delicious. Also had: brisket, pulled pork, sausage, chicken, waffle fries, cornbread. All amazing. Cornbread was exceptional, soft and sweet and flavourful. Melts in your mouth And it unexpectedly came with 4 side sauces and Im guessing what they are based off taste: Bourbon BBQ Mustard-y BBQ Dijon Aioli (10000/10) Honey Dijon Definitely will be coming in. I want to try more
Diamond in the rough. DT SC is a little sketchy but we were so glad we tried this place. So many smokehouse eateries have closed but this one wont. Good eats, good drinks and real people running it. Good craft drinks and the smoke is unreal mouthwatering. We will be back.
Went Saturday night for drinks and had the absolute best service! Definitely our new spot.
I love the mac and cheese!! The potatoe salad sauce is great as well!
Had an excellent dinner there last night. The food was delicious, the bourbon selection was impressive, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be going back.
There arent many great BBQ spots in town so its a delight weve got 1954 downtown now. I highly recommend ordering the platter to try the different offerings, my favourite items were the Mac and cheese, the pulled pork and fried chicken. Generous serving size for only $26 making it a very reasonable price. Only criticism is they need to make their coleslaw more creamy, otherwise everything was great!
The best fried chicken ever! Actually all the meat is to die for ! Looking forward to trying the whole menu !
Exceptional fried chicken sandwich.
$17 for a sandwich, with no side. Flavour was good though.
Food was absolutely delicious and has such a nice atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and I will definitely be back!!!
Still dreaming about their potato salad and mac n cheese. The food here is SO good.
Simply one of the best meals Ive had! The food was incredible.. highly recommend the mac & cheese as a side, the fried chicken was amazing and the brisket was perfectly done! In addition to the amazing food, the service was top notch! They went out of their way and made our dining experience perfect! Cant recommend this place enough! We didnt stop to take pictures but youre missing out if you dont eat at 1954!
Lovely restaurant! Staff was friendly, drinks were well made, wide variety of options but most of all the BBQ was amazing. Prices are reasonable and portions are well worth it!
We decided to pop in without ever hearing of this place and had cocktails and appetizers. Appetizers were very good, but the cocktails were amazing. I was not expecting the exotic ingredients and presentation. Very impressive!
Loved the fried chicken
Great food and hospitality
Holy moly, I popped in for the super bowl deal and this place is my new spot. We got the ribs for take away and it was fall-off-the-bone good. I had to go back and try the cocktails. I started with the New York sour and it blew my mind. Moved on to the butter and booze and I m not even exaggerating, it was like a boozy werthers original. I don t know what their mixologist Dana does but she has a twist on a classic old fashioned that I can t resist. 10/10, amazing food, cocktails and staff. I m so sad they re closed on my day off.
Not only one of the best restaurants in st Catharines, but in southern Ontario. I have had three meals there, and all of them have been uniformly delish. From fried chicken, to tacos to bbq brisket, passing through their great sides and deserts, all have been cooked to perfection. Added points for their great staff.
Best BBQ joint in the province, unreal food! Great portions, awesome atmosphere and delicious food. Definitely will be back to try more!
Our fist time attending this restaurant yesterday. It s very small environment, but the food was absolutely delicious! Even took our teen and he loved it too! We enjoyed the fried chicken, brisket, macaroni, and corn bread . Definitely would come back again !
Awesome, melt in your mouth ribs, smoked potato salad. Excellent meal. MD Awesome brisket SF. Oooh, the macaroni -SD. and cheese! Friendly staff. Awesome chefs. Thank you so much for the experience.
delicious bbq, amazing service and some good cocktails too! highly recommend the fried chicken and nachos! you wont be disappointed
We have not been downtown in years and the unique restaurant like this that popped up are fantastic! We did a girls night here. The cocktails were amazing! The smoked chicken patai and smoked devilled eggs were amazing. So much we are going back tomorrow. Lol The entree, smoked pork mac and cheese was so yummy and rich. A good portion too! Service was super friendly.
Absolutely incredible food was so fresh, staff was fabulous definitely somewhere Im gonna recommend to all my family and friends!
Absolutely ridiculous how good and fresh the food is! there is no place I have found like it staff so respectful and aware! Will definitely be bringing my friends and highly recomend!
Stopped on our way to Niagara Falls. We stopped here as the taco place on the corner that we like to go to was closed. The meat wasn t as tender as it should be for a bbq place. There wasn t a smoke house sort of vibe, it was just servers bringing food from the back. It s all in one boxy room thats loud and the acoustics aren t the greatest. We had a couple mains and apps, there was a lot of vinegar in the dishes. They say vinegar cuts the fat, but this was a little too much. My expectations may have been different compared to authentic smokehouses in other towns, this place doesn t have it, but maybe they ll work themselves into that in the future. Would have left a 3 star average review, but not only is the vibe missing with subpar food, but watching the front and back staff smoke outside the front windows was really unappetizing and grubby. This isn t the kind of smoke you want to be smelling at a smokehouse while you re eating.
You gotta try this place!! Everything that touched our mouths was UNREAL!! Will be back very soon. 6/5 stars
This is by far the best whiskey and bourbon bar in the entire niagara region. This has to be the most poppin spot on all of st paul street. Im so glad they have such a great sound system and excellent playlists really sets the vibe of the smokehouse although they dont advertise themselves as a smokehouse because they make the best drinks and food that doesnt need to be smoked in the entire st paul street... Although they can smoke that too !
Brought my wife here for her birthday , she is a very picky eater and absolutely loved everything even the mildly spicy beans ! It was warm in the restaurant and the staff did not hesitate to turn the air conditioning on ! The food , staff , cocktails are out of this world . This place has a very chill vibe and there is something for everyone on the menu , a place you can comfortably spend a couple hours at
1st time doing take out service & ordered the Devil Eggs & Tuna Ceviche. Ceviche was great (FYI add some Scotch Bonnet to even make it better) & the Devil Eggs are probably the best Ive ever had. Even in take-out the staff was very friendly.
The smoked Prescott and the pulled pork was among the best restaurant dishes Ive had. Generous proportions, cool cocktails, and the owner has a true love of whiskey.
Wow! Where have you been all my life This region needed this type of food, quality, & service. Fresh, flavourful, home made. It shows! Keep up the amazing work you do! Recommend: reservations for dinner especially on a Friday or Saturday.
I am giving it a 1 star because I cant give it a zero . In the span of 1 week, I ordered the same meal 3 times. The last one was an absolute disaster. I actually vomited the meal. When I called to advise the restaurant of the difference of taste with the very same meal within the span of a week, they said they dont serve such meal in their restaurant. Conclusion. Customer service, zero BYOB with incomplete starter, Zero I will NEVER eat food from 1954 Bourbon and Smoke again. This is a first in 17 years of eating in St. Catharines downtown restaurants.
The food was very dry and bland. It seemed like most of the food we ordered had little to no seasoning. Their customer service was also terrible. DO NOT COME HERE, save your money and go somewhere else that will actually give you some culture and flavour because this place is bland and extremely unpleasant.
Amazing people I was hutch hiking to the Falls so they gave me wifi and a glass of cool water. Bless them.
Very interesting and delicious cocktails and super friendly staff. On the pricier side, but you absolutely get what you pay for here.
Really nice bbq spot. Had the bbq platter and fried chicken sandwich. Their fried chicken is on par with oddbird which is absolutely delicious. The brisket and the pulled pork were very tender as well. Great to have a restaurant like this in st.catharines. They have a decent bourbon selection for those interested in whisky.
Absolute perfection. The food is 10/10. This is a must try.
Our Bookclub had lunch here yesterday, party of 5. We came at 12:30 which was perfect, as it wasn t crazy crowded. We were able to talk and enjoy our conversation, which can be a challenge these days. As we were a large group we ordered the family platter which came with a perfect amount for 6+ hearty eaters. Let s just say we all went home with leftovers. Fall off the bone ribs, the juiciest and most tender and flavourful brisket I have ever experienced! Huge 1/2 chicken breast(S) so good! Sausages too. So many sides to choose from but I can speak to a wonderful slaw, Smokey Mac & cheese and crispy seasoned waffle fries. So much food my family will enjoy today for lunch. Oh and homemade pickles and deviled eggs accoutrements. The restaurant was spotless and there was patio seating if we wanted it. As it was a warm day we choose to sit indoors. The waitstaff were attentive and very professional, they are proud of their craft. We will most definitely we back! They even agreed to be in our photo. 5-Stars from The Happy Bookers
Ordered a bunch of stuff, apps entrees and sides. They were All Delicious ! Smoked potato salad, mac & cheese, Fries, slaw & Ribs perfectly delicious. Definitely a new staple for takeout ! !
My wife and I had dinner here, on the Saturday of the first open streets. Service was excellent, and quick. I had the Mac n Cheese with brisket, and my wife had a pulled pork sandwich. Both were excellent, my Mac n Cheese was super cheesy. The brisket was a little fatty, but very flavourful. The pulled pork was excellent and the sauce was definitely on point. There was a good selection of cocktails and beer, although nothing on tap. Prices were very reasonable, especially for bbq. We will definitely return.
Neat place, food was great and lots of unique drink options. Atmosphere is good but it was a bit loud and you have to be ok with smoke, fittingly they make a neat live smoke drink that fills the room with smoke for a bit. Not a problem, just be aware. Food
A feast fit for a king really liked how you could build your own platter will be back!
June2022: our first time here, and first impressions are well be back!. My wife and I shared the unusual nachos with hand-cut waffle fries combined with corn chips and a variety of interesting toppings. Rated as A+. We also shared the Tuesday special tortilla trio. The blackened fish was tasty but messy (Rated B), pulled pork was excellent (A+) and the Nashville Chicken was very good (Rated B). A fairly new establishment, but the start-up bugs are all worked out!
I stopped in here yesterday with a friend for cocktails and an app and I was so impressed! The drinks were refreshing and we tried the tuna ceviche which was delicious! I really went out of my comfort zone by ordering this, but I was so pleasantly surprised. The service was amazing as well, you can tell everyone is very passionate about their menu. I will definitely be going back soon.
Went for lunch today. Food was delicious and portion size was great! Prices are below what could be charged! Staff was incredible and very informative!! A+++ I will recommend and definitely be a returning customer!
Really good but they give bad portions for corn bread. You cant charge 5 bucks for one corn bread muffin cut in half
Nashville hot chicken sandwich was outstanding!!!
Absolutely loved everything we ordered! I only have one negative thing to say, having lived within a 20 mile radius of New Orleans for 20 years, poboys are a staple. I wished there was a shrimp poboy on the menu rather than catfish(very southern) and of course the shrimp with blackened seasoning! Just a suggestion. Very difficult to find authentic poboys in the area.
Came in here for a drink before a show. The people were friendly and the drinks were amazing. Definitely check out Bourbon & Smoke next time you are downtown.
Great food service was slow
Went on a busy concert night and the place was packed. They were able to accommodate us at the bar. The food was great and the service even better. Loved the brisket.
Delicious food and awesome server! This place needs way more attention, probably the best BBQ my family and I have ever had! We got the family BBQ Platter and it was perfect for our family of 5. Highly recommend
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner here last night. All the food was delicious, menu was well thought out, service was top. Great cocktails. Portions were excellent value. Loved our experience here!
The food was incredible. We ordered the Family platter and it did not disappoint! If I had to pick my favourite, the fried chicken, no, the brisket, no, the ribs, no, the sausage, no, the smoked chicken . Alright it was all my favourite. Joe, our server, I later found out was the owner. He was pleasant and gave us the history of the business. I would DEFINITELY suggest this restaurant to anyone! Thanks Joe
Joe and Blair sling some of the best BBQ in the St Catherines area. We had the Family platter which had a little bit of everything - smoked chicken, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, sausage and a ton of sides. Joe suggested we swap out half the chicken with fried chicken and well, duh, yes please!! That fired chicken was sooooo damn good, marinated in buttermilk and fried to crispy perfection. The rest of the smoked meats did not disappoint, each with a light smoke flavour that didn t overpower and let you taste the meat and the tasty rubs. Sauces are served on the side and I loved the Carolina and the espresso BBQ. The ribs were juicy and fall off the bone, and the brisket was melty tender - just don t ask them the secret of cooking it!!! Here s how we knew this place was as legit - when asked how long Joe smokes his brisket his answer was We don t go by time, we go by temperature . Pro answer for sure. Don t skimp on the sides, with the beans and the slaw a favorite. The cornbread is sliced in half and the cut half is cooked (on the flattop maybe?) so it s gets super crunchy for a textural wonderland. Above all though, you can tell Joe and Blair love what the they do, and what they cook and just want you to have a great, memorable meal. Mission accomplished guys.
Had a great dinner. Much respect to the single server who was juggling a ton of customers. Super friendly and didnt miss a beat.
Amazing food I have to go back thats how good it is great service everything on the menu is well prepared and cook to perfection you wont be disappointed. The cost and portions are perfect. Thx will be back
Delicious cocktails, choice craft beer, friendly service.
Best smokehouse in town, the chef has probably the best name history, fantastic creative cocktails, will absolutely be back
Awesome place. Every dish of the build your own platter was a star in its own right. The service was amazing too.
My husband loves the meats here and my son loves their Mac n cheese. However there is not much for a vegetarian. Poutine is not traditionally made with beef gravy, its normally a plant based gravy, but here its beef gravy.
Great service, tasty food.
Smash Burger was good.
Great southern smoked food , unique cocktails and craft beer choices ! Shared BBQ BFF platter with my father , every part of it was smoked and rich in flavour. It came with brisket, pulled pork , sausage , chicken, ribs and two sides. The Corn bread melts in your mouth , and the mac and cheese side would even be perfect as a main ! My cocktail smoke and mirrors , had a strong pear taste with a full brandy body. Definitely needs another staff member or two as the drink specialist was also serving the whole restaurant, taking orders and greeting. Including the outside. Although at times we were waiting , for example to pay as it got busier but it never felt excessively long even with this crutch. Price for quantity, taste , and its classy ambience and style make this place a must go in St. Catharines, even the whole Niagara Region !
The food and drink where phenomenal. The smoked brisket and ribs amongst the best I have ever had if not better.
We absolutely loved this brand new restaurant in St. Catherines. Their food is so plentiful and is a real BBQ place! Great food, staff and atmosphere, wed be back!
So the wife and I tried getting some takeout from 1954 Bourbon, and our experience was mixed. We ordered the B.Y.O.P BBQ platter with 3 meats, the brisket, the sausage and the Nashville chicken. For sides we grabbed the waffle cut fries and the baked beans As well as one order of the Mac Con Queso, and finished it up with 2 orders of Cornbread. First and foremost we both felt the cost was a little too high for the amount of food we received. Running about $75 in total, with only a small amount of food to show for it. As for the food, Ill start with what we liked. The Nashville chicken, done with a dry rub, was absolutely fantastic. If I were to order here again that is what I would get, along with the waffle fries. The cornbread is another item i would certainly order again, and the Mac Con Queso was also pretty delicious. However, the majority of the meal was quite the dissatisfaction. The one sausage we received was over smoked, to the point you could only taste smoke and no sausage. The Brisket was quite tasty, unfortunately of the very small portion we received of it, only about 10% was Meat. The rest was pure fat, so we did not really get more then 2 or 3 bites. Which was very disappointing, given that it did taste good. The baked beans while not bad, were not to my taste. They are a super spicy sweet baked bean, as opposed to a BBQ baked bean, my wife however did enjoy them in small amounts. All in all we were fairly disappointed with 1954. But I would be willing to try dining in and see if the experience would be a bit different. Wed probably only buy the fried chicken, and maybe try one of the cocktails. Attached is a photo of the brisket and sausage link, taken after I had eaten a good chunk of the sausage.
Meat was done so nicely
Fantastic place to go for any occasion. The staff are friendlier here that anywhere Ive ever been... the food is to die for, melt in your mouth great! Date night, friend night, whatever you want... great food, great drinks and great atmosphere!
This restaurant has one of the best selections of bourbon and whiskey s around and the BBQ is amazing. I highly recommend the fried chicken it s the best I ve ever tasted. I highly recommend this place.
Had dinner here the other night and wow...Was I impressed. The portions were great, and the food was so good. Its a nice little spot. The owner is incredibly personable and seems very passionate about the business. He came to our table and chatted with us for a while. The music choices were great too. The one thing I would like to see in a spot like this is beer on tap. Everything was in cans, which is fine, but when I think BBQ, I think a nice frosty glass, and a cold pint. I will absolutely be back.
Hidden of St. Catharines! Wonderful experience after the Nutcracker performance across the street. I wish I could have complimented the gentleman that made our meal experience one of a kind, but I cant recall his name! The Nashville is the bomb! As are the Devil Eggs! They even arranged a mini meal for my dog! Exceptional service and food quality! Thank you 1954!
Alright... Let me start off by saying that Joseph has put together the Best Bourbon Selection not only in Niagara, but I would be Hard Pressed to believe that there is any better in Ontario... He has many Unicorns to select from. He also has a vast menu of Ryes, Tequilas, Scotchs and Irish Whiskey. Being a former bartender, I can also mention that Joseph has top notch ingredients when making any type of Cocktail. One of his signature drinks Smoke & Mirrors is out of this world... Now the Food... Anything from the Smoked BBQ is CRAZY GOOD!! Sides like Mac & Cheese, Slaw, Cornbread, Pickles... OFF THE WALL!! His signature Buttermilk Fried Chicken with the Hot Honey Drizzle AMAZING!!! This place is FIRE!!!!!! Pun Intended!! I dream about this place for the Great Food & Drink!!! Great Job to Joseph and the 1954 Bourbon and Smoke Team!!! HELL YEAH!!!
The food is excellent and the drinks are delightful! The restaurant has a warm and cozy feel. Once youve tasted any of their smoked meats, fried chicken, smoked potatoe salad , French fries are the Absolute Best! You will want to return to try everything on the menu
Delicious cocktails, the friendliest service and a perfect combination of elegance and mouth-watering comfort food! I m making it my New Year s resolution to try everything on 1954 s menu!
