Reviews for The Bourbon Cellar in Scottsdale, AZ
Enjoyed everything about this place. The food, the service, the atmosphere. Absolutely loved the bloody Mary mix they use. The... place was spotless, open, and artistic. Planning on making it a regular spot when in the area. Read more
“BUYER BEWARE”, we are absolutely done with this place. We were tricked by the new sign hanging over the building but once... again, I left with a very bitter taste in my mouth. Once we got there we were talking to Doug, who is the owner, and I havethanked him for his 21 years of service in our military. His enthusiasm of his new adventure sounded very charming to turn itinto a sports bar. He expressed to us that he really worked on his menu and made more things affordable, such as his $10 blandno seasoning hamburger, just a plain burger on the bun, no cheese, no lettuce, no tomato, no onion. We ordered a old fashionmade with Buffalo Trace (I can buy a bottle of that for $25), we watched him put ice in our glasses and then muddled the icethat turned into small fragments and watered down our drink. It was bad enough that he, is the owner but really didn’t knowhow to make an old fashion, duh! Here’s what really ticked us off. Upon having to ask for condiments, silverware, and ourbill. We were extremely surprised that that tiny little “Affordable” drink that was $15, we were charged another up chargeof four dollars for Buffalo trace, that is a bunch of Buffalo $rap. As I said this was our fourth time to try a new beginning,and not once did he ever make the other three visits corrected, I reminded him why we hadn’t been back. We are done. STAYAWAY! Read more
We really hate to review Bourbon Cellar as one star, as the support of Veterans is one of the reasons we chose to go. Our... waitress, Tiffany, was absolutely perfect, made great drinks, and couldn’t have been sweeter to us, or a better server. But myMarket Price filet mignon was so tough and filled with tough connective tissue - I could not even cut through it with thegenerous steak knife provided - I couldn’t eat it. We have never sent a filet back anywhere, but to pay almost $40 for a verytough piece of meat, was unreasonable. Tiffany called owner after a second filet had exact same issue, & we finally asked for itto be taken off of our bill. Owner told her NO, as we had tried two. The only reason we had kitchen try a second one is to givethem the benefit of the doubt, after their suggestion of replacement, thinking a fluke. But when second filet was just astough, we finally asked for it to be deducted from bill, offering to pay for sides. When the owner flatly refused, we thankedour server, assuring her it wasn’t her fault, payed for it & tipped accordingly, and left. We were just plain disappointed inwhat was supposed to be a very special meal out. In all fairness, my husband’s filet was acceptable. Not especially tender,but acceptable, & definitely not filled with tough connective tissue. I think the owner needs to trust his diners more. We neverwould have returned a filet if not a reason to do so. How could he not know that. It’s not fun. Sad it ended the way it did. Read more

What a great restaurant. Doug does an outstanding job with the food he makes. The deviled eggs are the best along with all the... other menu items. Doug is a huge supporter of veterans. Thank you! Read more
Stats show that my reviews have been read 330,000 times. And in all my reviews I believe I have awarded five stars perhaps four... times. So when I give this place five stars it's because I really want you to try it! So, the owner is a (very proud) Veteranturned businessman in the food service industry. He is a hard working guy with great ideas on the customer experience. He alsoowns a local butcher shop and this is his source for these grass fed USDA Prime cuts. You see that - Prime! His price for anice piece of prime is ten dollars below all the nearby steak houses charge for Choice! And their meats come from the back of aSysco truck, which is not the case at the Bourbon Cellar. And with his connections this includes fresh fish. And this is ascratch kitchen, which is common enough in the greater Phoenix area that I don't know why anyone would go out to a seriousdinner anywhere but a scratch kitchen. Nice bar with a few high-tops. Nice patio areas with a water feature. The place isclearly geared for people to enjoy outdoor dining. No - I still don't like non-chain restaurants being located in strip malls,but I have to accept this is the norm in the area. But it also means you can find a parking space, and do some walking around,maybe get some chores done. Staff are exceptional, tell Autumn hello for me. She is clearly a disciple of the place and singsits praises with great eloquence. Just walk inside and inhale - the kitchen scents will drive you to order something. Bring anapatite because this is not a place that sends you home hungry. Even something simple like a lunchtime Ruben will feed afamily. Go for it! Read more
Way overpriced! I never give bad reviews but this needs to be said. Ordered a bone in steak that was market priced and it was... $165! It was okay until it started having a really bad smell of it gone bad to the point that we couldn't eat it anymore. Thegroup had one salad, the steak, and drinks that totalled to over $300. Way too expensive for a sports bar! Wish they told us theprice before, learned our lesson. Read more
