About The Butcher's Tale

The Butcher's Tale is a renowned restaurant in Minneapolis that offers exceptional steaks, delectable key lime pie, and fantastic craft cocktails. The attentive and knowledgeable staff creates a memorable dining experience for special occasions and private parties. This hidden gem is considered a rival to more well-known steakhouses, with standout dishes like the 8 oz filet mignon and the Kansas cut, which some guests have called possibly the best steak they've ever had. Guests also enjoy the seasonal beer garden and the above-and-beyond customer experience. The restaurant features a beautiful and intimate setting, perfect for a date, with delicious sides, small plates, and mocktails, catering even to pescatarians. Recent visitors praised the food, noting the filet cooked to perfection—crispy on top and melt-in-your-mouth in the center—as well as the Ribeye, buffalo sprouts, and macaroni. The fried apple pie with pumpkin salted caramel ice cream was also highlighted as divine. The staff was described as very attentive, polite, and kind, making the overall experience enjoyable. The atmosphere is immaculate, with comfortable and elegant decor, just the right amount of dimmed lights. The location is convenient for dining before shows at the nearby State Theater, and the restaurant’s cozy atmosphere makes it a great choice for a special night out.

Ordered two Filet's for my wife and I. Expensive steaks, but poor results. First, my plate was served at least five minutes after my wife's. I assumed it was to cook it to my liking, which was medium. Got my steak, and it was bloody red inside. My wifes ordered to be medium rare, and hers was just as undercooked as mine. Explained to the server about the concern, and she only offered to explain that they cook it by temp, and not by look, and that she assured me it was cooked...read full review
