Local Favorites
Urban Stillhouse's food is a marriage of new and traditional American cuisine featuring elevated takes on classic staples. We update our menu seasonally to ensure quality and creativity and only use the freshest locally sourced meat, fish and produce. Our bourbon-inspired dishes are cooked to order on our wood-fired grill that uses wooden staves from our bourbon barrels to produce that exceptional open flame taste. The Urban Stillhouse is just like the premium spirits made by Horse Soldier Bourbon: authentic, award-winning, and all-American. Join our family in celebrating the American Dream.
