Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about Bouchard Inn & Restaurant and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the General Manager, Brittney Bouchard.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Bouchard Inn & Restaurant stand apart from its competitors. Brittney passionately told us about the quality of both their service and their products. She said:

“We deliver the most top-quality product and service that we can. There’s never a time that we do anything to fall below that standard. We always plan on delivering excellent service and an excellent quality of food to everyone.”

She continued by telling us about their dedication to providing an all-around outstanding experience to their guests. Brittney shared:

“We try to deliver the greatest overall experience. It’s not just dinner here; it’s a whole array of steps along the way that make people want to stay here. We just try our best to fulfill the needs of our guests. I think that’s what shines through the most.”

Brittney is also incredibly proud of their staff and told us about the incredible people that work at Bouchard:

“The food is fantastic; our chef is fantastic, and our staff is amazing as well. We are very lucky as far as that goes. Everybody is very hard working here. All of our staff are 100-percent dedicated to what they do. This isn’t a job to anybody; this is a passion. We are very lucky to have found these people who really want to strive for excellence in this field.”

Building Success, Online and Off

Bouchard Inn & Restaurant has earned a fabulous reputation, both online and off. With thousands of positive reviews, we wanted to know what their secret is to having grown such an incredible presence online. We were shocked to hear what they had to say about that:

“We’re not doing anything to grow our business besides delivering a great product and a great experience. We’ve been lucky enough that the reputation and the reviews have come in organically. There’s never a time that we’ve ever asked anybody to write a review. We literally do what we do as best as we can, and that’s what shines through to our guests. The thing what we’re doing to grow our business is do what we do well. That’s all.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Bouchard Inn & Restaurant has managed to. We asked if Brittney could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Unfortunately, I can’t provide an answer to that as far as growing an online business. We honestly just try to give the best experience we can. All of our guests are special, and as long as we treat them that way, the online business will just grow organically.”


Congratulations to Bouchard Inn & Restaurant for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Brittney for taking the time to speak with us!
