Ribs were tender and delicious, love the cornbread, the green beans while they looked delicious - had way too much vinegar for my liking. Surprisingly they also have smoked fish here so will have to come back and try that in addition to a lot of other great additions. read more

I have literally been coming here since they opened and it is my absolute BBQ favorite. Their barbecue is to die for but I almost always get the grilled salmon now! SO good. And the side choices are unique and delicious. I usually get chili and ancient grains pilaf, but the cold quinoa salad (except way too much cilantro), the mac and cheese, barbecue beans, and sweet potato fries are other favorites. The soups of the day are always delish, too. I'm not a big drinker but they have a great full bar and offer excellent local craft beers. The best recent addition is the booths along the side. I have a bad hip and can't sit in hard, unpadded chairs. The booths solve that problem beautifully! They also offer delivery through some online platforms. I can't recommend this fabulous family-owned restaurant highly enough! read more

Our golf group dined at Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-Que in Reno. I ordered the Prime Rib Tips with a side of Cornbread and Potato Salad. The group thoroughly enjoyed the quality of food, great service, and casual atmosphere. The staff were some of the most friendly and welcoming we've experienced here in Reno. Note: indoor and outdoor seating was comfortable. The "garage door" separating the indoor and outdoor dining area was open which made the space feel big. read more

Char B Que has breakfast. They offer a breakfast sandwich with choice of protein/ meat; Breakfast burritos and or tacos with choice of meat and breakfast bowls. I chose the breakfast bowl with brisket as the protein. The bowl has 3 scrambled or fried eggs, plenty of cheese and potato and tender and tasty brisket. Everything was cooked to order and came out quickly. I ordered it to go and it was still nice and warm when I got home. Char B Que offers a ton of bbq items and sauces that are well made. It's also very clean and roomy inside for large or small events. read more

It was a first time at Butcher's Kitchen. The bartender Eric was very helpful with our menu selections. We had the Monday special Burrito & Beer, $15. My husband and I split the burrito it was plentiful. We got to meet the owner Ed, the son, but unfortunately his Dad also named Ed wasn't there. I noticed they had a sign up they were features on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. Just to taste the food you'll know why they were on the show! Fantastic! If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat! I look forward to going back for happy hour. read more

Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-QUE - Char-B-Que Burger - Barbeque Near Me - Reno, Nevada

A year's gone by and this one is still firmly in the rotation, and believe it or not, I've actually expanded from my usual and beloved brisket, starting with their burritos! I favor a VERY specific style of burrito. Protein heavy with cheese, great salsa, beans, veg and signature condiments allowed as long as they make sense and enhance the whole offering, Absolutely no rice is permitted, and it better be rolled up in one of the GOOD tortillas. IYKYK. These hit absolutely every mark with bonus points for excellent protein options (including the specials) and incredible salsas! If you think about this for a second, it makes sense that a bbq joint would excel at meat and sauce. Try one for yourself. I'm also now a huge fan of the chicken. Moist and succulent, smoky and delicious. Textbook bbq bird. Pro-tip: order half chicken all white meat for a portion that's big enough for three. I still haven't tried a burger, though they absolutely speak to me. This could happen soon. Stay tuned. read more

I have been craving good BBQ for a while and was excited to try here. Great area, lots of parking, quick and polite service. Unfortunately, the food just missed the mark for me. We spent approximately $50 for two plates, but most BBQ spots are around that range so to be expected. The Tri-Tip & corn-bread were by far the stars of the show, but the fries were really good too! Loved the seasoning! The rest seemed to lack flavor for my liking. The brisket was a bit hard to swallow, even with the sauce. Overall we won't be going here for our BBQ cravings, but not angry at it. read more

My favorite barbecue in Northern Nevada! This place has been featured on the food channel, and Guy Fieri himself has been here due to the quality of food being off the charts!! I love getting the pulled pork sandwich. I also love the rib tips. Last night I ordered a half pound of tri-tip half pound of pulled pork and some ribs and I was so impressed with the quality of the meats. I don't think any place can top this barbecue spot. I love the french fries here they are seasoned perfectly in the coleslaw is unreal as well. Usually not a huge coleslaw fan. Everything is well seasoned and I even bought a bun so I can make a pulled pork sandwich with the spread that I took pictures of. The service is always fast but sometimes I do call it in in advance just so it's ready when I get there. Everybody is always friendly and very nice and super helpful if you have any questions. I love their location. It is very big. They have enough seating even when they are very busy and it's always kept very clean. They always have a good number of TVs playing some sports as well too, which is a good vibe. Anybody that comes here on vacation I always recommend them to come to the spot! I will be back for more noms read more

For the drive home from Reno, I had to do some calculations in regard to dinner. Tomorrow, we are going to Tres Hermanas in Davis, Saturday night to Tropeiro's Grill downtown. So for tonight...BBQ! Yelp showed Butcher's Kitchen nearby and with a fair number of reviews. In something of a strip mall, it was easy to find. One person was just finishing ordering when I walked in. The person behind the counter was super helpful as I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of options on the menu. All I really wanted was ribs, but so glad I chose the plate. Which came with two sides. I selected Mac and cheese and a wedge salad. Couldn't eat the salad on the road, so I think I'll have that now. But everything else was really, really good. The little garlic rolls were super fresh, mildly seasoned and perfectly toasted. The ribs, though...oh man! I don't usually get BBQ sauce, kinda have to be in the mood for it. So, the actual rib on its own is important. And these were excellent. Tender, juicy, and delightfully seasoned. But the best part? They were wonderfully smoked. The ribs were really meaty, too. A+! I know I'm being rather one-sided, here but everything was seriously delicious. The Mac n cheese was packed full in the container, had a generous amount of cheese and the cheese was thick with a nice sharp cheddar flavor. I could eat that stuff every day. Alright. That's enough of that. I'm going to eat the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. If you ever end up in Reno and feel like BBQ, Butcher's Kitchen does it right. Right down to the sides. read more

Guy Fieri stop on DDD! Delicious bbq at an affordable price. Ribs were good but lacked the "fall off the bone" tenderness. The standout was the brisket. Roasted veggies were good but the potatoes were still firm and not fork tender. Garlic bread was probably the weakest, however, still edible. I wanted more garlic flavor. Order at the counter. Lots of tables for big parties. There is also seating outside. Lots of takeout happening. Parking is plentiful. read more

Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-QUE - Brisket and ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I've been here several times and it was always great. This time, not so much. I got an order to go and watched it sit on the counter as they took multiple orders out to those eating there, including three large groups that ordered after me. By the time I finally got my order, the fries were cold and soggy. And the brisket was not great. Previously it was so tender and just pulled apart and melted. This time it was tougher and chewy, like they were in a hurry so upped the temp to get it done rather than a nice slow and low. This used to be my go-to BBQ place, but I'll be looking at other options now. read more

Whenever I go somewhere new on vacation I like to look up Diners, Drive-in's and Dives locations. Saw this one so we decided to try it out. It did not disappoint! We happened to show up during happy hour but we had dinner reservations in a few hours so we just got a couple of "bites" to share. We all enjoyed what we got! (There was 4 of us). The sliders were great and only $3 each. My husband wanted to try the rib tips as that is one of the items Guy got on the show. Those were also tasty. The Italian sausage had a little kick. There were 3 different bbq sauce options. We tried 2 of the 3 (didn't get the spicy one). I personally didn't love either of the 2 we tried but the others did. The guy who rang us up was helpful and nice. Give this place a try if you're in the area. Head up; it doesn't look like much from the front/parking lot but is nice once inside. read more

Aside from the slight tude from I believe, the owner, our experience at Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-QUE was amazing! The rest of the staff were kind and offered up great service! Maybe that was just his personality. We had a little bit of a wait in line, but that was not a problem, because we had some time to mull over the menu. We ordered two brisket sandwiches, fries, a salad and that green chile stew. Food was really fresh and delicious! Portions were solid and we left full and happy! Two thumbs up! read more

Came In for lunch party of 2. Second visit to this establishment. My first was to go. Glad I had a sit down meal. It was early lunch approx around 11:30, not busy, 6 or 7 tables occupied. Enjoyed their friendly service. I got the pulled pork plates this time, it's consist of pulled pork, garlic bread, Mac salad, and chilli and as my sauce I had house bbq hot, I really enjoyed their friendly service savory moist texture off the pulled pork with house bbq (hot). My friend had pork short ribs plate, garlic bread, Mac salad and their soup of the day. She enjoyed the soup of the day and pork short ribs. It's soft and tender as she bites into the meat, very moist and favorable. We would definitely be back for sit down meal opposed to take out, read more

I came here for lunch today and I was very impressed. They were packed so we ended up grabbing a spot at the bar. A good sign. The aroma of Smokey meats hits you in the face the moment you walk in. The gentleman taking our order was helpful and gave us some pointers. There is a special of the day which looked good. I ordered the brisket burrito with some sweet potato fries. It was all super good. The burrito looked like a toddlers arm. I'll be back to try the other items. read more

Great service and great food. Tried the brisket and pork ribs. Cooked perfect. My wife tried the pulled pork and loved it.

Service was fair, interior was dirty. We ordered sliced brisket, beans, and garlic bread. The beans were ok, the bread was ok, the meat was mid and lukewarm. We will not return. read more

Randomly found this today - didn't feel like breakfast and it was only 10:30am. They opened the full menu for us. Let me tell you - these are the best ribs I've had in a very long time. Very tender but with a nice crust. Great flavor and sauces on the side. The potato salad is a must try. Wedge potatoes make it unique and their flavorings are classic with real dill. The ham hock beans are flavorful with a kick of heat. read more

Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-QUE - Full rack "meal" with two sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I had an incredible experience at Butcher's Kitchen. The brisket was hands down the most tender and flavorful I've ever had, perfectly cooked and absolutely packed with flavor. You can really tell they take pride in their food. The sweet potato fries were just as impressive, easily the best I've had in Reno. Crispy, well-seasoned, and done just right. The ambience really elevated the whole experience. It has a warm, inviting atmosphere with a clean, modern feel!Comfortable enough to relax, but still lively and well put together. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Eric (I believe he may be the manager) provided exceptional customer care. He was attentive, welcoming, and made sure we were completely satisfied throughout the entire experience. Great food, great service, and an all-around top-notch spot. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

First off let me preface this by making clear I am a Texan.... So my idea of bar-b-Que is a little different from other folks. I walked in and was stared at by two cashiers awkwardly. Waiting for either or to take command of the situation and welcome me in. They didn't so I broke the ice to thaw out the situation. Once the awkwardness of disengaging customer service was out of the way I commenced to ordering brisket, two types of sausages, half rack of ribs and some ahi tuna with sides of Mac n cheese, green beans and finally cornbread. Here's how it chewed; Brisket on the lean and dry side but had great smoky flavor notes. Definitely could have used some bark but maybe naked is their style. Ribs were tasty and came off the bone. They were not quite dry but not tender juicy either. Both sausages were tasty af. I had Cajun and the jalapeño cheese I believe. Ahi Tuna was good and not over seared. The green beans ( not over cooked and soggy ) and cornbread were both tasty as well. The ambiance is chill, the counter could use some pep. And to be fair I came in around 7 pm so towards the end of their night so the food and service could be better during prime time. read more

So good, we come almost every week. Love their specials and Monday is a great deal for burritos. Their sandwiches are overflowing with delightful grills fresh meat. Just insanely good. I haven't met a plate here that I didn't devoured or look forward to those left overs. Great beers and cider on tap as well, which as discounted with the specials of the day. Fast, quick and friendly service. The guys there recognize us and are super friendly. read more

Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-QUE - Saucey Sammy I recommend the Beef Brisket Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I love Carolina's BBQ -- their combo plate is hard to beat. But I wanted something different and finally tried Butcher's Kitchen Char-B-Que... and WOW. Let's talk brisket. Most brisket is dry. It just is. This was not. Thick, generous slices with a gorgeous bark and juicy, tender interior. The kind of brisket that makes you pause mid-bite. Phenomenal. Gourmet-level execution. I was craving chicken but didn't want pulled or roasted, so I went with the charbroiled and baked wings and ordered the Southern-style white BBQ sauce. These wings were next-level. That spicy, vinegar-forward white sauce had depth and attitude, and the char on the wings sealed the deal. Crisp outside, tender inside. Wing aficionados, this is your moment. The coleslaw? Southern-leaning, lightly creamed, balanced -- not an afterthought. As a former food & beverage manager and admitted foodie, I don't throw praise around lightly. This menu has serious depth, and the execution backs it up. Ask for T. She is the best at navigating the menu. Next time I will hit the bar. -dls read more

Great BBQ Between the three of us we had pork, beef, and poultry The ribs were good, not falling off the bone good but better than what you would get in Utah read more

If you decide to go here, the hard part is deciding what to order! They have such a very robust menu and you can't go wrong. Just had their meatloaf and it was delicious! Paired it with garlic bread and mac and cheese, and wanted more! You could also order to go or have them cater. Everything is delicious! read more

We had the pork tips and the shrimp poboy. Both were excellently prepared and very tasty. We came during the peak of lunch but there was no delay in service. There is seating both indoors and out, kind of a rustic folksy atmosphere. Only downside was they had sold out of the ribs and only had tips left. Highly recommend though! read more

I have two problems. The first is that it is raining. The second is that I have to finish the second half of a four hour movie. Delivery is the key! We ordered, for delivery, brisket and ribs! Well done!... Ok. So they are currently out of ribs (They smoke a limited quantity each day.) So we get two brisket orders instead. Tell me who will complain about brisket? If you want to get ribs, go early and often. The rest of us are stuck with *cough* mediocre brisket (It is absolutely not mediocre!) The best part, and I mean the very best part, is that the owner called us directly and offered an option! That, my friends is customer service! Weirdly, we got two full racks of ribs! Will I order again? Absolutely! So, I was cleaning up... I missed an entire 1/2 pound of brisket! Shame on me! I now have dinner tomorrow as well! Lessoned learned: you will always get more than you pay for here! read more

It's been awhile since I've been here. They've made some changes and mostly good. They added a new menu board that's digital, more tables, and a few booths. They raised their prices, which I know every one has, but they made the portions smaller. My husband and I used to be able to share an entrée plate (tri tip, mac n cheese and house salad) and a chili, and be completely satisfied. This time we were a little disappointed. We will definitely be back as they have my favorite chili and the food is great. We will know what to expect next time. You order at the counter and bring your food to you. Also the BBQ sauces are warm and delicious! read more

Was happy to find this place on yelp and overwhelmed at the same time looking at the menu with the line. I opted for the Philly cheese steak. Bread was super soft. Lots of flavor in this sandwich.

I've been coming to this place for about three years for the brisket and tritip burritos. Lots of flavor and tenderness. This is a casual bbq spot with indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a bar, but I've never been there to drink. The staff are friendly and normally the service is quick, very seldomly I have to wait more than 5 minutes for my order. You can also order ahead of time for pick-up, which is very convenient when on the go. For the most part the food quality is very consistent, every now and then someone may forget to properly salt the pinto beans. Overall all this is a great place, I've brought here multiple coworkers and they all loved it and now they're regular customers. read more
