After being ignored by the staff for 10 minutes waiting to be seated, we eventually had a nice meal at Boure. We started with the Fried Crawfish Bites ($13.99) which had a really great spicy sauce. Next up was the main course where we ordered a Boure burger (blue cheese, sauce, fried pickles) with onion rings, a cheesesteak and a kid's Fettuccine Alfredo. The burger was tasty with a little spice and the onion rings were awesome. The cheesesteak was merely average -- we couldn't find any cheese on it and the meat was a little too salty. The kids Fettuccine Alfredo was probably the best thing we had. Everyone was fighting over it. Overall, Boure is a fun place to eat. Service was decent and prices were reasonable. read more

Boure Restaurant - Waiting to be seated! - New American Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

This was suggested to us recently ahead of our trip to Oxford. It was suggested as a "nicer" spot, but at 2PM on a Saturday it was way more in the casual realm. Great service and the food was tasty. Truly some of the best fries I've had in a while. read more

Absolutely amazing service by Dane! We came in half an hour before close on a Monday night and received impeccable service. Drinks along with Chicken and Andouille Gumbo was amazing! Salmon BLT + Onion rings, and Country Fried Steak for mains was amazing. read more

Excellent restaurant. Enjoyed the shrimp and grits. Best recipe in the south and I have Louisiana and South Carolina roots. Great little spot with excellent service and ambiance in downtown Oxford. My husband loved his shrimp tacos too. read more

Stopped here for dinner before the University of Kentucky Men's basketball game against Ole Miss. Hostess and waiter were super friendly. I had the Pasta Jambalaya with grilled shrimp and crawfish and peppers and sausage. It was delicious! My wife had the Chicken Carbonara. She enjoyed about half and took the rest for a later meal at home. Good value. read more

Boure Restaurant - Pasta Jambalaya - New American Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Maybe it was an off night but my son and I stopped here in mid June after a very long drive from Dallas. There was hardly anyone there - We weren't greeted promptly, the waiter was teetering on rude and the food was mediocre at best. My shrimp po-boy had about 6 tiny shrimp and no flavor. I would have asked for some sauce but after waiting 30 minutes for our food - the waiter disappeared. Not sure what all these great reviews were talking about - we were highly disappointed! read more

I came in this evening with a small group for a drink and a dessert. We ordered the drinks before the dessert and had completely finished the dessert at least 15 minutes before our drinks even arrived. There was no wait and several empty tables in view of where I was seated....yet the restaurant being busy was our server's excuse for slow service. I would estimate it took about 25 minutes for our 3 drinks to come out. We unfortunately had to send back one of the drinks but cancelled the order and left when it had been another 10 minutes with no sign of the different drink or our server. When dealing with unfortunate service at a restaurant, I always consider that sometimes, it may just be off that day for whatever reason. However, I've given Boure the benefit of the doubt one to many times. Today was their third and final chance. I won't be back. And I certainly will not recommend this place nor will I spread any form of positive WOM. read more

We returned for a second visit and brought family from out of town. Everyone loved their food. Service was great again. Feedback - we saw a young lady sitting at a 6 top table. She was there when we sat down and was still there more than an hour later. We saw 4 or 5 families come in and were told the wait was going to be 20-30 minutes. All the family's left and did not put their name in. Seeing the young lady waiting over an hour for her friends to show was absolutely ridiculous. The table could have been turned minimum 1x while we were there. She ordered water the entire time. If the entire party is not there, DON'T Seat Them! If I was a server and that was my table I would have been upset! read more

Mind you I haven't been able to get back down to Oxford since before COVID-19, but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about all the wonderful people and wonderful eats down yonder. Boure is the stuff of dreams. Super fun atmosphere, right on the city square, and spitting distance of other great food and drink establishments. In such a food-rich area a restaurant really needs to shine. In the half dozen times that I was a patron I tried several different dishes, but the one I still drool over is the Pasta Jambalaya. Pair this with a cup of the Gumbo or a side salad and I am in heaven. The portions are large and make for great leftovers. The pasta was always al dente and the assorted meats and vegetables were flavorful and plentiful. No complaints with any of my visits. read more

From the outside it appears that it is a formal restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised that it was more of a dressy casual vibe. I went with a larger group but they were able to accommodate us, so that was helpful. Had a burger that was perfectly prepared. Definitely will return on next trip to Oxford. read more

We will definitely be coming back! This was our last night after moving part of our family down here and the rest will follow later. We went due to Yelp reviews I read and a local recommendation. I had the salmon and I ate all of it. I'm not a big fish lover but I eat it every once in a while. I finished every last bite. The filet melted in your mouth. It was all delicious! read more

Boure Restaurant - Shrimp and grits - New American Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

The food was delicious and the atmosphere fun. Wait can be long sometimes, but it's always worth the wait!

This was a great place to eat at during my time in Mississippi, Me and my girlfriend was amazed with this place as she came over to visit me during my birthday week and this was her favorite place. The burger and fries was very good but the best thing in my mind was the onion rings they were perfect to me and the soup we had which was the Gumbo was amazing as well. If I ever have to make another trip out to Oxford Mississippi again I will definitely be back. read more

Shrimp & grits was amazing!!!! Service was great! Highly recommend! Hummus great also but huge serving so be prepared!

My favorite restaurant in Oxford. Have had the burger and the filet there. They were excellent. This trip had the shrimp poboy. Not impressed. Paucity of shrimp and bread too soft. Will stick with the other selections. This was the first time I ordered to go using their online ordering system. It worked great. User friendly and fast! As usual the restaurant was very busy, but I received my to-go order exactly as scheduled. read more

The steak was ok..not great! The service was excellent! The atmosphere was great! I will be back to try other things on the menu! They have an awesome upstairs area and outdoor space! read more

Order the Ribeye and was not disappointed. Cooked perfect. Blue cheese crumbles with a balsamic reduction gave a nice flavor. Server recommended the jambalaya so intrigued to go back since the Ribeye was not their first choice... hmmm read more

Great Cajun food!! Would recommend for anyone looking for some great Cajun. Recommend the shrimp and grits.

Anniversary dinner there was fantastic. I had shrimp & grits and my wife had crab cakes. Being originally from Louisiana we are hard to impress but Boure' is every bit as good as those great Louisiana restaurants. Only complaint is that it is very loud in the restaurant. read more

Boure Restaurant - Shrimp and grits and hamburger. - New American Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Used to really like going here but the last two times were not very good. Ordered the Boure burger and they brought the breakfast burger. Dry and tough. Ordered the shrimp and grits recently and it was very smokie with lots of bell peppers , onions and sausage. Had no resemblance or flavor or shrimp and grits. My wife had the country fried steak and was very tough. One thing we used to love was the fried crawfish as appetizers but they discontinued. read more

All of the positive recommendations about the Boure were true at my first visit. Was able to get a table for two during lunch on a Tuesday. Waiter greeted us immediately with water. The setting was comfortable and relaxed for lunch. Southwest salad was excellent and my son loved the bunless burger bowl. Highly recommend - definitely one of the best! read more

Even though it was a Friday night, we were seated very quickly. Our waiter was funny, personable, and very attentive. The seafood jambalaya was great, but the shrimp tacos good, but a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a pleasant evening. read more

Instagram worthy view (& drinks) in the heart of Oxford! With a prime spot on the square this is the perfect place to come after shopping or before bar hopping! If you are touring or visiting Ole Miss and want a taste of the city this is the place! read more

Boure Restaurant - Top floor at Boure - New American Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

See all

Boure is a Southern/Creole eatery in the historic Oxford square. Just like the style of many other buildings in the square, the venue of Boure is spacious, two-stories, and they have a balcony overlooking the street. The restaurant is decorated very simply but the building is what creates the interesting atmosphere. We came on a Friday night and were seated right away in the first floor dining area. Waiter was really attentive and the food and drinks came out quickly. The drink menu is fairly extensive with selections from beer, wine and cocktails. I got a French Chardonnay that was excellent. The dinner menu has several appetizers, salads, sandwiches/burgers and entrees. I got the chicken and vegetable dumplings with fried onions on top. The dish was flavorful with peas and carrots in a peppery gravy. I wish there had been a few more dumplings on my plate but otherwise portion was big and I couldn't finish it. I liked the contrast of the creamy chicken with the crispy onions on top. My traveling companion got the fried shrimp po-boy with french fries. I tried a bite of the shrimp and the fries which were tasty. The portion of the sandwich was good and they didn't skimp on the french fries. I enjoyed dinner here as the ambiance, service and food all was a great introduction to the city of Oxford. If you come here just plan accordingly as they do not take reservations. read more

This is one of my go-tos when I can't decide where else to eat. My favorite sweet potatoes in town! I also love their salads and pasta. Their upstairs patio is a fave spot for an evening glass of wine for me and my husband. It does get very busy in the evenings and on weekends but usually always worth the wait. read more

Fun casual place! Great food and service! Everyone in our party really liked their food!

Got a window table on a Thursday nite across from podcast table. Enjoyed some libations and great food with friends. The menu was expansive with so many choices. Burger bowls, Philly cheese, soups, salads and spicy choices. Everything was delicious.. unfortunately no room for dessert. Enjoy! read more

I have dined here several times and enjoy it each time. On this particular visit, I tried their fried pickles as an appetizer. It is accompanied by their come back sauce. Wonderful! For dinner, I started with a small salad with their bacon vinaigrette dressing. Unique and delicious. For and enter, I chose their shrimp Po Boy sandwich. It was stuffed with delicious deep fried shrimp. The server was very attentive. This was a delightful experience. read more

Boure is a must when visiting Oxford. Excellent menu choices, right on the square and great people watching if you snag a spot on the balcony. The pasta jambalaya is delicious. No reservations but you can get on the waitlist and walk around the square. read more

Loved the wet salad & hummus appetizer. Located right on the square. Service was good.

I like this place! Nice casual place and the food is good. I wish they had a big nice Ribeye.

Food is #1, even over service & ambience, but this was a "miss". The grilled cheese with white cheddar was not the hot, melty goodness I hoped with the inside not hot enough. The bread was good, perfectly griddled. The tomato basil soup was flavorful & piping hot but the fried cheese curd left a greasy mouth feel, without contributing anything to the dish. A side of whole grilled okra needed a bit more seasoning. The other entree of Red Snapper was a bitter disappointment after many recommendations for the fish dishes. It was a sizable portion of golden brown fish atop a bed of what appeared to be INSTANT rice - sticky clumps, when I would have expected long grain. I could not cut the coating on the fish with a fork. It was heavy & tough, and oily. The accompanying green onion hush puppies were small, overcooked little nuggets that were greasy, with almost no 'middle' and certainly no evidence of the green onion in the menu description. I use green onion in the ones I make at home so I would know. And mine are crispy & light, properly fried in the hottest oil, turned once! With a fluffy, flavorful inside. Not these - I had one bite and left them on the plate with the rice. I got a take out for the fish. I'll remove the breading and use the fish for a chowder. read more

Boure Restaurant - Grilled Salmon Blt Sandwich - New American Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

If you've never been to Oxford MS, you're missing out on one of the most interesting, quirkiest cities in the country. It is a strange place for any number of reasons, and certainly it's food scene is one of those reasons. You would not expect to find really good, interesting food in the middle of BFE Mississippi, but it is here. This particular location is a cajun, semiformal restaurant. I ended up here driving home from Missouri. My meal started with some really delicious, lightly fried crawfish. They came with a surprisingly spicy dipping sauce. For my entree I got their bacon and pimento cheese burger. It comes dressed to your desires and cooked how you want it. I mistakenly ordered a double meat burger and it was ridiculously massive. The meat was top notch. The pimento cheese was some of the best I've had. The bun was sourdough which was a brilliant idea. This is Mississippi so the portions were large and the prices were small. I'd certainly recommend a visit if you find yourself in this wonderfully strange city. read more

Boure Restaurant - Crawfish tails - New American Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

See all

Not bad by any means but probably my least favorite meal while on a quick trip through Oxford. It was a quiet Saturday night, students weren't around as it was summer and locals must have called it a night due to a quick pop up storm that was there then done. Service was a bit lacking--while our server wasn't rude, he was dismissive and inattentive. However, we noticed him talking to and checking on other tables quite well and we realized our casual dress after a day on the town must have prompted him to think we weren't the tipping kind (we tipped well regardless). Anyway, how was the food? Pros--the cocktails are super solid. I recommend the pomegranate vodka cocktail and the Mississippi Mule for sure. The crawdad tail appetizer was really good too. The entrees though--just okay. Good, but not great. I had the salmon BLT and all the ingredients were pretty good though the salmon could have had a bit more flavor and the bread could have been better. My wife had a po'boy but they skimped on the sauce and used the wrong kind of bread for a po boy which resulted in a plate full of shrimp spilling out of the bread instead of holding together like a sandwich. But, they were both good if a bit pricey for what they were. Also--it was a nice night to dine on the terrace but for some reason you can only order appetizers outside so we dined in. read more

Atmosphere and food was delicious. We were a walk in Large party. We had the private room and everything was delicious
