    Went for my mom and I's birthday. We got lucky with a table within a private area which made for a wonderful dinner spot. We had to order a handful of items because we could simply could not only order a couple things. Every. Item. Was. AMAZING. Service was also spectacular

    Tri tip and sour cream and brown butter mashed potatoes
    Deanie H.

    Came to celebrate my friend's 30th! Our server was friendly but totally overwhelmed. To be fair, I don't think management accounted for graduation weekend when staffing. To drink, I wanted an NA option with NA sparkling wine but they were out of the liqueur, so I was able to just get the glass of NA sparkling wine--though our server had to check bc that is not on the menu, which is a missed opportunity. The food options are true to the name. Many "slabs" of meat on the menu, little vegan options, if any, because it's the type of place where Brussels have bacon. Out of 12 of us, at least half got a steak salad. I ordered the sour cream chive mash and tri-tip. The meat was a bit tough but had good flavor. Enough for one hungry person but two can share. I was worried the mashed potatoes wouldn't live up to my whipped potato preference but they did. Was not a fan of the sour cream forward taste after a while but the brown butter finish was a nice touch. The sides are also very shareable. We were in a room with another large party and the ambiance was a bit crowded but we made it work. Overall we had a great dinner because it was a joy to be among friends and the restaurant let us hang out for about 4 hours.

    Tasty place and great foods to try! Got the Dirty Martini to start. It was a bit smaller than I was expecting with only 1 stuffed blue cheese olive. I got Grey Goose vodka and was charged an extra $2. Delicious apps. Had the crab beignets, salmon dip and curly fries, which was all amazing. Asked for mustard and was charged an extra $1. Not a big deal, but the server never disclosed the upcharges for the vodka and mustard until the bill came. The steak and mahi were our main entrees. Mahi was perfect! Steak was a bit chewy and tough. Desserts were chocolate cake thing and icecream!

    Crispy Thai Sausage Spring Roll

    Date night at Butcher & The Boar was nothing short of spectacular! The space strikes that perfect balance of elegant and moody, paired with an unexpectedly great playlist that sets the vibe right away. Food and service were top-tier, and our server Ricky was truly out of this world--fun, knowledgeable, and the kind of person who turns a great meal into a memorable experience. We started with the Crispy Thai Sausage Spring Roll, and wow -- that nam jim sauce was so fire! Then came the Blue Crab Beignets, which were absolutely delicious; the remoulade really makes each bite pop. For my main, I had the Pulled Pork Burger, smoky, sweet, and packed with flavor. Dessert was the Flourless Chocolate Torte, rich, decadent, and the perfect finish to the night. We also tried a few drinks, but the standout for me was the Lady Marmalade mocktail -- bright, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. We walked out with full hearts and big smiles. Thank you Butcher & The Boar for an unforgettable night we'll be talking about for a long time!

    Smoked tri tip
    Lily D.

    Everyone was absolutely so kind at the restaurant from the beginning to the end. The service is absolutely amazing. The blue crab beignets are soft and light. Smoked tri tip comes in medium rare, the potatoes and chimchurri pair perfectly with it. Seasoned perfectly. The blackened Mahi mahi is thick and filling. The corn bread with miso butter is dense and comes warm. The sundae comes with 4 topping choices brought to you at the table. Peanuts, maraschino cherries, chocolate sauce, and miso caramel.

    Mac and cheese with brisket
    Bob K.

    Super great experience at Butcher & The Boar in their newer location in North Loop. Had the tri tip which was great and the highlight was the sausage sampler. Could eat that every day. Great service and awesome environment. Total win.

    Well I loved the original Butcher in the boat so it's no surprise to fall in love with the food all over again. The ambiance is very nice and romantic for a perfect date, slightly dim lights, candle light, not too loud., just a nice setting. The service is good although it can be a bit slow at times. They are very polite and know the menu well too. The food is wonderful and I highly recommend the charcuterie it's the best I've had. You can't miss choosing this place for food or drink.

    Crab beignets
    Keith E.

    My wife chose this place for our 16th anniversary and it did not disappoint! The weather was atrocious the night we went (we couldn't reschedule as we had tickets for the Trans Siberian Orchestra) which may have contributed to the restaurant not being super busy but the ambiance was perfect. There were a couple large groups dining and they did a great job of keeping plenty of space between parties so it was never too noisy. Our server (younger Asian guy, shame on me for forgetting his name) was absolutely wonderful. He was ready with suggestions and had answers to any question we asked whether it was drinks or food. Everything was delicious, we ended up getting several appetizers then sharing a single entree. I could literally make a meal out of those crab beignets, they were simply incredible.

    Do You Remember the Taste of Strawberries?

    Went to Butcher and the Boar last night for a fantastic dinner. We got the Blue Crab Beignets, which are not pictured, for a started. We were surprised with how many it came with. The remoulade for dipping was fantastic. I think I would have been happier though if it were maybe 4 pieces with more crab in each than the 8 pieces it came it, but it was still delicious! I got the Tri-Tip which had a fantastic chimichurri over it and the Sour Cream-Chive Mash was to die for. My drink, "Do You Remember the Taste of Strawberries?" was so light and refreshing. I was very happy with the experience overall. Service was slightly on the slower side, but mainly because they had one server working one half of the dining room in anticipation that it wouldn't be too busy. The overall feel of the restaurant was super cozy. I loved the decor and lighting. Definitely a great place for a date night.

    Cornbread
    Michael C.

    This restaurant is in a huge, gorgeous space that nails the industrial-chic aesthetic, complete with high ceilings, dark lighting, and moody decor. Lighting-wise, it's definitely on the darker side, which adds to the ambiance, but the 80s/90s rock music felt a little out of place for the overall vibe. Our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and walking us through the components of each dish, which we really appreciated. That said, once the food hit the table, the service really slowed down... it took a painfully long time to get boxes and the check, which was frustrating. As for the food: the Brussels sprouts are a MUST. Spicy, crispy, and generously portioned, these were easily one of the best items we had. The pork chop is enormous and 100% worth the price, with a flavorful kick and perfectly charred skin that gives it an amazing texture. The cornbread was another win, packed with real corn and paired with a deliciously rich butter. Unfortunately, the mac and cheese didn't hold up to the rest because it lacked flavor and creaminess. All in all it was a solid and satisfying dinner with a few standouts and some room for improvement.

    Top sirloin and green beans
    Kevin H.

    This place is crazy good! We arrived early for our reservation and asked if we could be seated in the bar booth instead of the main dining area (more our vibe). The hostess was so friendly and accommodating; showed us to our table, then asked if we wanted to see the speakeasy - of course we did! So we walked back to the back to the Char Room. Wasn't your typical speakeasy as it is open, but with dark woods and lovely smoky smell from smoking their bourbons. On the food! We started with fire roasted oysters with a thick farm bread to ensure none of the butter escaped and then the grilled shrimp. Both were insanely yummy. Only thing wrong with the oysters is there was only four and the shrimp need a new name that describes them better as having an amazing chilled flavor with a spicy white sauce. Sam, our server, recommended the shrimp which we had to thank him for -amazing! He also suggested one of the specials, the top sirloin and added that the spicy white sauce from the shrimp would pair with the steak nicely. It certainly did not disappoint! The top sirloin was perfectly cooked, mouth watering and melted in our mouths. As a side, we got the green beans which were sautéed in garlic bacon and a light cream sauce which we could've used for bread dipping but we were so full! For dessert (the liquid kind), we sipped on a 2oz pour of the Old Fitzgerald bourbon 7yr Bottled in Bond. All the wait staff were so attentive and friendly. Sam was awesome, from his sense of humor to his recommendations, all superb. This is a place simply can't wait to come back to!!

    This is a beautiful spot! We came here for happy hour and everything went well. We ordered the burger & chicken sandwich with fries. The burger was okay, I think adding more toppings or reducing the size of the buns would take this to the next pe would take this to the next level. I liked the chicken Sammy, the slaw was on the sweeter side but paired so well. I really enjoyed the flourless chocolate torte. It was like a fudgy, rich brownie with chantilly cream topped with berries. Although this is not on the happy hour menu, it's worth a try. The service was good and I loved the ambiance. It really felt like a speakeasy with good music.

    Corn bread
    Darren L.

    Lovely dinner for a Valentine's Day date. Everything we ordered was delicious and we had a lot of food to take home at the end. Our server recommended a few of his favorites, and so we got those (porchetta charcuterie, brussel sprouts, charred chicken). I'm not a big fan of corn bread in general and probably wouldn't order that again- just because there is so much of it. Highly recommend the charred chicken!! The pork chop was also good, but there was a ton of it. We had it for three meals, basically (two additional meals after taking what we couldn't finish home). Good for that price, though! Overall good experience! The music seemed a little off for the feel of the restaurant, but I think it was because of the Valentine's Day theme. Service was great.

This is an Argentina style pizza, which is my first time having it. The crust is literally the best part and I don't even like crust on any pizza. The shredded cheese that they put on the pizza is very delicate very fresh. I can't wait to get other pizzas and try those other toppings. I also got the beef empanada and it was very fresh. Very good. I would rate that 10/10.. The empanada did not break apart when I took a bite into it.

She then made her rounds around the restaurant, the two hours I was there. I found the presentation completely inappropriate for a restaurant. It felt more like something you would see at a strip club or Vegas nightlife venue than at a restaurant, and it was especially jarring at a 5 PM event. Honestly, I would have found it inappropriate regardless of the time. I'm Latina and all for a good, sexy time. But there is a time and place for everything. Beyond that, the restaurant was extremely crowded and hot, and they were already running out of food. Given the number of people there, the food situation was poorly handled. I also had an issue with my drink charge. It was listed as $9, but I was charged over $11, while my friend was charged only $10 for hers. That inconsistency was frustrating. Unfortunately, between the uncomfortable atmosphere, extreme crowding, heat, lack of food, and billing discrepancy, this was a very disappointing experience. I've since seen other reviews mentioning long waits, and after experiencing the chaos myself, I can understand why.
