Cory, Grant, and Autumn are AMAZING! I wish I could type all three of these as one, because as a whole they are amazing. I go to brunch every Sunday. I used to rotate around, but now it's only here because of these three. They make me feel at home. Oh, the food & drinks are AMAZING as well. But, the service from these rockstars keep me coming back. My weekly bartenders are now friends, and I look forward to my brunch every week. Keep them around, and recognize them as the rockstars they are!

During Covid times, we had some not so good experiences here (understandable IMO.) But since then I really have no complaints. Had the cheesesteak with beer onions…those onions were the star. Wish there was more cheese but still a great cheesesteak, meat was cooked well and well flavored due to the onions. I wish I didn’t get full off of the sexy fries so I could have eaten the whole thing. ?My husband had the short rib grilled cheese. Wouldn’t necessarily call it a “grilled cheese” as there is hardly any cheese. With that being said, he still loved it. He couldn’t stop raving how flavorful the sandwich was. So despite it not being a “grilled cheese,” it was still a great sandwich.Sexy fries never disappoint.Service was great and pretty quick considering how packed the place was.

My husband met a friend here for lunch. He had the Mahi Mahi and said it was delicious. They had great service and loved the atmosphere. Please check it out it is well worth it.Parking: There is a large parking lot with many options.Wheelchair accessibility: As a wheelchair user, this is obviously very important to us. The accessibility here is very easy!

We had a large party of 15. We were all in town for a wedding. A lot of people did not know each other, but we all decided to have dinner at this restaurant. They refused to give us separate checks or separate credit cards for payment. The place was busy, service was poor, food was acceptable but nothing special. Someone had to pay for the whole tab knowing they did not know the other people or how they get payment from them. I find this totally ridiculous and will never be back.

The food was average, and reminded us of bar food (which is sad because the pricing is not comparable to pub food). I got the gochujang sloppy joe, which was not at all spicy, lacked any sauce, overcooked wagyu beef, the buns were drenched in the slaw and meat juices. The plate came out looking like a mess, looked like they wanted to be rid of the beef so they gave me it all. The Beet salad was good. The coffee creme brulee, was not brulee'd enough we could still see the sugar crystals and it had no crack, also the coffee creme brulee taste was just gross (coming from coffee lovers). But the bacon in the shortrib grilled cheese was perfectly crisped, at least they got that one right. The service felt rushed and uninviting. The ambiance was also loud, untidy, with an unusual layout and a dark lighting. Overall, not a nice dining experience

The short ribbed grill cheese didn’t have cheese and the short ribs were over cooked. I asked the waitress if it was supposed to have cheese, she said yes and I showed her my Sandwich… she had trouble finding the cheese herself! The corn bread crumbled and tasted like it was made in made in a pan that previously had meat in it. The food was disappointing but the atmosphere was good. It was Sunday so maybe they had different staff.

As someone who appreciates a cozy dining experience with fantastic comfort food, I have to say that The Butcher and The Barkeep truly delivers. From the moment my wife and I stepped in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance of the restaurant sets the perfect tone for a relaxed evening out.Now, let's talk about the food. My fish and chips were absolutely delightful - crispy, golden batter encasing tender fish fillets, served with perfectly cooked chips. It was a classic dish executed flawlessly. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her shrimp and grits, which were flavorful and satisfying. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring we left feeling happily satisfied.One thing that stood out to us was the attention to detail in the presentation of each dish. It's clear that the chefs at The Butcher and The Barkeep take pride in their craft, as every plate was not only delicious but also beautifully plated. The combination of excellent food and charming ambiance makes this restaurant a must-visit for anyone in search of a comforting dining experience.Overall, our evening at The Butcher and The Barkeep was delightful, and we can't wait to return to try more of their enticing menu offerings. Whether you're craving classic comfort food or looking to explore new flavors, this restaurant is sure to impress. Highly recommended!

Always can count on this place for a delicious seasonal cocktail and a yummy burger or house salad with crispy salmon…and the sexy fries are a MUST- I repeat, do NOT skip the sexy fries. You’re welcome.

We are here last night as a party of 9 and it was great. We were there on the first night of a new menu and the food was delicious. Our server Steven was great and very helpful. The manager Michael was incredibly hospitable and made sure to spend some time with our table making sure everything was good. We will definitely be back and can't recommend this restaurant enough!

Good apps. “Sexy fries” are yummy, house salads good, really good mixed drinks. Got the cherry bomb. SKIP THE FALAFEL. Worst I ever had, it looked like chicken nuggets… will be trying something else next time….

Excellent service! Corn bread was amazing! Filet was good. Tater tots were amazing- queso was a little watery. Salmon was very good. We will definitely be back! Great menu!
