They have a variety of options to choose from, all of which are good prices on high quality meats which are locally sourced. If you're planning a big party, or just meal-planning, this place should be your go-to for meats. Pro tip: check out their Facebook page and sign up for their mailers. They frequently have really amazing specials, like 10 lbs of fresh ground beef for $30, but they only advertise through Facebook or direct email! Oh, and be sure to pick up their jalapeño poppers when you stop by!

First time in today as I just moved into town. Both gentlemen I spoke to were awesome.

Also the rib roasts were some beautifully marbled pieces of meat at a very fair price, I'll be regretting not purchasing one today. Can't wait to try their other products and I'll certainly be back. I found my butcher shop in our new home town.

Local here! This is our go to spot for fresh local meat. We always get our chicken, beef, eggs and…read morefish here. The quality of the beef is superb since they own the farm (Apple Brandy Beef) which their beef comes from. On top of that, the staff are always friendly and the type of folks you get to know on a first name basis. And the space is always very clean and fresh smelling. If you grab a ribeye, don't forget a jar of their Apple Brandy Beef steak rub. Pro tip: Get a pound of their beef bacon which is thinly sliced brisket which cooks up just like bacon and is seasoned with a nice black pepper rub. Sear it on med-high in a cast iron for a nice pairing with the local Dry Ridge Farm eggs (you've never had eggs till you have those).

Bacon and prime rib were both sliced to order. I could smell the bacon as soon as we walked in it was awesome. The fact they sell fresh eggs was a bonus. Yes, incredible bacon. Just cooked the prime rib, it was about 4.5 pounds. Simply roasted medium rare it came out amazing. I will be back next time I'm in town. Thank you!

Not the best, but if you are persistent it's worth it. Hard to get a hold of people and orders are often not at the market when they're supposed to be, or there's miscommunication. Some staff seemed confused on the CSA pick up protocols, but overall a great place.

Shopping in HNG for pumpkins, jam, drinks, and artisanol ice cream from Marion NC was a real treat. The bags to select a variety of apples and the seriously varied meat selection look amazing, unfortunately as I am traveling thru I could not purchase these. The private event area -- open barn style -- is one of the best I've seen. A huge area with stage & light strings, it has a big dance floor and a great kids play area full of tricycles. Outside there is a giant rope web and large "sliding ducts" for more play space. Get a pumpkin and book an event!!

The combination of attentive service, high-quality steaks, and a standout bourbon selection makes it a spot worth seeking out in Valdese.[1][2][3] ## Service and Hospitality Austin provided friendly, knowledgeable service, with spot-on recommendations and consistent follow-up throughout the meal, which really elevated the evening. The staff quickly seated the party of four and acknowledged the celebration for the wife's birthday, helping the night feel special from the start. When one filet needed a bit more sear, the owner personally stepped in, oversaw the re-fire, and had it returned to the table cooked perfectly. That level of ownership and responsiveness showed real commitment to **hospitality**. ## Food and Preparation Entrées arrived beautifully plated and cooked to appropriate temperatures, which is especially important at a butcher-driven concept known for its meats. The corrected filet came back with the ideal sear and doneness, reinforcing confidence in the kitchen's skill.[2][1] Portioning and presentation aligned with expectations for a farm-to-table steakhouse, highlighting the quality of their locally sourced meats.[3][1] ## Bourbon Library The bourbon library is a major highlight, offering an impressive selection of hard-to-find bottles that adds a distinctive draw for whiskey lovers. It pairs perfectly with their meat-focused menu and makes Highlands Butchery feel like a destination, not just a neighborhood spot.[4][1][2] Having such depth behind the bar also supports Austin's recommendations, allowing guests to explore pours they may not encounter elsewhere. ## Atmosphere and Noise The only real drawback of the evening was the room volume, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. Given how popular and lively the space can be, some additional noise baffles or acoustic treatments could help deaden the sound and make the dining room more comfortable without losing the energetic vibe. With that one improvement, this experience would easily move from a 4.5 to a full 5 out of 5, especially given the strength of the service, food, and bourbon program!

Called three times over the past few weeks to order a Berkshire pork roast for Christmas. 1st time I was told, no problem, call back in a week and we'll order it.

I ended up going into the store, and the gentlemen said he would get it tomorrow and he would call when it was in. This was two days ago, and I still don't have a call back.
