Bourbon & Boards

This spot is adorable and the board concept is super fun! We had a great time here and all the food we got was amazing. I did horrible both taking pictures so I guess I'll have to go back.

The restaurant was busy and vibrant on a Friday night. Our table of 5 had a reservation and we were seated right away. It was our server's first night on the job. So this review will show some grace. There were a few missteps but she did pretty well. The food was delicious. We ordered 2 boards to share as well as a bowl of rib eye mac and cheese. Somehow that was the only picture we got. Our two boards were the Spaniard and the Englishman. There was plenty of food and some great tasting flavor profiles. Refills of water came often and the owner or manager was checking in on customers making sure things were good. Restaurant has a cool vibe and I would definitely go back again.

Lively and fun ambiance for a Sunday brunch. Our bartender/server was super nice and friendly. Food was pretty good, though I wouldn't say it was anything special. Not bad!

Had reservations but went early and were seated right away! Very cool vibe with a 3 piece band playing. They were really good. Started with a cocktail. I had the basic old fashioned smoked. Really good. And a nice pour! Then we had the seasonal bisque. Amazing! Tomato bisque with a big crouton topped with chèvre. So good.American board. Everything tasted really good. Loved the Chorizo meatballs. Really great flavors but not and miss with the chorizo heat. Nathalie was awesome. We had a blas

Courtney had a bubbly personality and made our first time experience great! Atmosphere is quant. Food was delicious! There were 4 of us for dinner. We started with the honey glazed pork belly and empanadas, best empanadas in Florida! Then we moved to the steak tacos, tuna tacos, chicken Ceasars sandwich, and ribeye mac-n-cheese, everything was delicious! My cocktail, St. Augustine sunset was a spin on a margarita and very refreshing. Looking forward to trying breakfast items which you can order all hours! I'm sad I didn't get pictures...

Yelp doesn't let me down often but it did this time. In my opinion, there is no way this place should be getting a 4.6 rating. The food was awful. I wonder if a lot of "friends" of the restaurant have been doing reviews.First, the service was poor. We sat at our table for 15 minutes and no waiter showed up. I finally had to flag someone down and they went and found our waiter. He turned out to be a nice guy but we only saw him twice during our meal - once when he took our order and then again after we were done eating. Asking us how everything is after we're done eating isn't very helpful. He should have checked partway through the meal how everything was and if we needed anything else.Next let's talk about the food. Ahh yes. This is where the real issue was. You basically order a bunch of boards with some food on them. The prices are very high. I get it. It's St. Augustine. The problem is you don't get very much food and it was awful. The two burger sliders on my fiancé's board were cold (lukewarm) as were the meatballs on my dad's board. The meatballs also had gristle in them and were kind of tough. The chicken wings on the American Board were similarly poor. My bisteca strips were tough, cold and tasteless. The shrimp that came with my board were soggy and not fresh. The Mac N Cheese board was even worse. The Mac N Cheese tasted old and stale and it seemed someone had just microwaved leftover Mac N Cheese they had lying around. None of the food we had seemed fresh. It all tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a long time. Another issue was the price. The American Board with two small cold sliders and two cold chicken wings was $30. Absurd for what you get. The other boards were just as bad.At the end of the meal the waiter asked how everything had been. I gave him an honest appraisal. I wasn't looking for any money back (nor was any offered). I just thought they should know. He said he would go back and talk to the chef. He came back out and said the chef offered to buy us cheesecake. We politely declined and just asked for the bill. At this point, we just wanted to leave. I make it a point of never punishing the waitstaff for a bad experience unless they did something deliberate. Our waiter was a nice guy and, even though he really only came to our table twice, I left him the usual 20% tip. Again, I get it this is a tourist town and people come and go. However, even so that doesn't justify this poor quality of food for such high prices. I would give Bourbon & Board a wide berth and find other places to spend your dining dollars.

Subpar dinner at Bourbon & Boards. The food was nothing special. The Brisket Mac & Cheese was the only thing I would recommend. On top of that, the service was horrible. Our server seemed intoxicated and was missing for the half of the meal. One of the tables near us, walked out and another was complaining they had had service for an hour. Would not recommend eating here

Highly recommend the bourbon tasting If you're a bourbon fan, you absolutely need to check this out! I heard it's an amazing experience, with a great selection. People are raving about the knowledgeable staff and the overall atmosphere. Seriously, don't miss out on this one. You won't regret it!

What a great vibe! The staff were so nice and they went above and beyond in serving us. And lastly, and most importantly, the food was exceptional. We tried the Brie board (and the accompanying honey and fruit just made this); the chicken Caesar sandwich left us speechless; the gnocchi had a touch of heat that was outstanding; and the tuna tacos (my personal favorite) with the ponzu sauce were so light and yummy I had to eat all three! Cannot wait to go back!!

Worst service in St. Augustine. Food not much better. Cocktails all delivered separately over 20 minutes. Sliders ordered medium rare delivered well done and cold with congealed cheese and no condiments.
