The Bourbon Cellar is located in a strip mall in North Scottsdale Arizona. They specialize in serving a variety of craft bourbons, craft sandwiches and craft burgers of Prime in-house ground Filet, Bison, Elk, Venison, Cajun Turkey and Veggie.

At the time of this review they are newly opened and are going with the lunch menu as an all day menu and offer three course dinner specials at night. (subject to change at any time)

Inside the atmosphere is clean and neat. It’s woody with brick walls.  Gracing the walls are slices of Barrels and stacked wine bottles.

Seating is available at the bar, dining room and front and side patios.

 

The side patio is lush with plantings and also has a water feature.

I’ve been to the original location before and enjoyed the Prime Filet Ground in House Burger. It was a very detailed burger and might have been the only burger I’ve ever tried that was so delicious and flavorful it didn’t need a sauce.

The generously sized burger is served on an apple cider egg bun. It’s packed with lots of lettuce and a tomato slice and is topped with a wasabi deviled egg….(what a treat!) I didn’t have this burger this time but my husband had to have it again. He was somewhat upset that again they didn’t prepare it medium-rare like he asked for and got it sort of medium on one side and medium-well on the other side……But he said just like last time it was a juicy flavorful burger that was delicious……but he would have loved if they prepared it medium/rare. Next time he is going to ask for a rare burger. (I note that we do go to many restaurants and very few…actually almost none of the restaurants have a cook that can prepare a medium/rare burger…The only restaurant I can remember where my husband got a medium/rare burger was Amuse Bouche in Surprise AZ under the original owner)

What impressed me last time about this burger was that this was maybe the only time I had a super flavorful juicy burger that didn’t need any sauce or dressing to be delicious.

This time I tried the Ground Cajun Turkey Burger with Bourbon Pickles as a topping. Burgers come with hand cut fries or slaw…

This Turkey Burger was juicy with really good super flavorful grill marks on it. It was flavorful but in a very different way than the filet burger…..It was good but I think I needed different toppings than what I picked to make it special like the Filet Burger. Maybe instead of bourbon pickles I should have went with something like raw onions and avocado????

That was my trip to The Bourbon Cellar in Scottsdale AZ.
