    July 20, 2024 - Nashville chicken sandwich + Home Cut Fries + Sorbet Float
    Ann B.

    July 2, 2024 - My friend treated me to lunch. Thank you Keisha I've passed by this restaurant quite a few times, but was never able to visit. The staff were all nice and even though there was a line almost to the door it was moving quite quickly. Throughout the entire time that we were there, there was almost always a line to the door. The interior is nice, lots of seats. We ordered: 1 Nashville Chkn + Hand Cut Fries 1 Sorbet Float 1 Nashville Chkn + Hush Puppies *Remy Dip* 1 CPB Shake The Nashville chicken was thick and nicely fried, for me it was a bit too salty. I'm definitely going to go back and try something different.

    This restaurant has been hyped up in the Durham Region Eats group on Facebook. I decided to give them a try. The restaurant is run by well-known Food Network personality and chef Andrea Nicholson. I did see her working the front of the kitchen, preparing and chopping vegetables. We ordered a bunch of entrées. Most of my family ordered the buttermilk chicken wings, buttermilk chicken tenders, pulled pork sandwich, and country fried chicken steak with white gravy, You have a choice of 1, 2, 3 sides. The pricing reflects the number of sides. Some of the sides require additional charge while the regular sides are fries, mashed potato, mac n cheese, hush puppies, coleslaw, cucumber salad, and green beans. We arrived prior to the lunch rush, it seemed. Only a few customers inside. We were optimistic that our orders would come out pretty fast. We were unfortunately mistaken. We waited about 1 hour for our orders to come out. I understand the food was supposed to be made to order, but it took way too long. I also noticed many take out orders being prioritized and packed up. The kitchen needed a manager to ensure orders are getting prepared as fast as possible. Maybe the owner should have been managing the front of the front of the house instead of chopping broccoli. As for the food, I had the country fried steak with 2 sides, hush puppies, and mac n cheese, $19.50. The white gravy had some bits of bacon. The steak was underseasoned, and the breading was soggy. I think the gravy was a bit too thick, and it seemed like the gravy was sitting there for a while. The sides were decent. Mac n cheese was seasoned well, and a powdery cheese sprinkled on top. The hush puppies freshly fried and were my favourite side. The Remy dipping sauce complimented the hush puppies very well. The buttermilk chicken wings were crispy and came with a buffalo hot dipping sauce. The wings were decent size and meaty. The cucumber salad with dill sauce was pretty good as well. The mashed potatoes were also under-seasoned and didn't come with gravy (extra $3) For my first visit, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. The hype of a Food Network personality running a local restaurant in my neighborhood was the main attraction. I will give them another chance and try their smoked chicken or pork shoulder.

    We had Butchies tonight and wow what a meal!!! Definitely has that southern country style home cooking taste and style to it I had the pulled pork sandwich with two sides being the hush puppies and the crispy yams The hush puppies were super awesome and tasty and the dip that went along with was yummo!!! The yams had a nice lil spicy dip that went along with it and gave them a nice taste to it My wife had the crispy buttermilk chicken strips with fries and a Caesar salad The chicken strips were crispy and tender Overall the meal itself was satisfying and filling Definitely a place to go when you want that home style cooked meal Will definitely go back again!!!

    Second review for Butchies and once again....another winner. This week they had a special of pork&beans with jalapeño cornbread....i can't say enough good things. This place has great bbq and everything is delicious! Portions are big! For the amount of people they have walking in and out and staying their service is fast! Come check them out.

    Excellent service, friendly staff, went on a Wednesday evening, busy but enough seating available. Busy because this place is so great. The fries are crispy and really good. Cucumber salad is creamy and tasty. Will have to go back to try more sides. I very much enjoyed the hush puppies and dip. Please go and try Butchies.

    Another great find via yelp! Pulled in parking lot and the smell of smoke meats was enticing! Didn't disappoint once inside. We both had the grilled salmon Sammie...Didn't disappoint. Had a nice remoulade sauce. You could choose 1, 2 or 3 sides. I got the cucumber salad. Nice big chunks of cuke in a light mayo dill sauce. My husband's green beans ew nice.. needed just a little more tenderness. Overall excellent.

    Smoked Chicken Wings with Poutine and Buttermilk Chicken Fingers with Broccoli Salad and Mac and Cheese

    My go-to at Butchies is the Buttermilk Chicken Fingers and Broccoli Salad. I also get the Creamy Dill Dip. Ordering is pretty straightforward, you walk up to the counter and order your meat + 1, 2, 3 sides. It takes a bit of time for them to make and bring you your order. They have plenty of seating and parking. The patio is huge and pet friendly. Checkout my IG Foodie Account @wanderandeatwithme for more foodie adventures.

    Four of us came to Butchies based on a recommendation, having no other business in Whitby but to try this restaurant. This is a very simple restaurant where you order at the counter and have your food served one of about a dozen tables (based on the photos, they also have outdoor seating in the summer months). The service is quick and adequate and the atmosphere is for all intents and purposes neutral. Butchies is all about the food. They offer a number of southern-style meat dishes such as chicken fried steak and buttermilk fried chicken, and brisket, as well as some daily specials (trout on the day of our visit). Each dish comes with a couple of sides. There is also an impressive selection of craft beer including picks from Little Beasts Brewing Co. which is about 15 minutes away (review to follow). We ordered four meat dishes along with every imaginable side dish and a handful of pints. The food was excellent. Everything is prepared fresh from scratch. The meat is juicy and flavor without being too oily. The sides are rich and comforting. Every aspect of every dish feels like its been generously lubricated in fat (if you know, you know) and flavor. For dessert I had a slice of raspberry rhubarb pie (also made from scratch) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cup of tea. The tea was the one bit of the meal where Butchies could use to improve as it was a simple tea bag. Also, some home-brewed iced tea would be great given the southern style of the restaurant. Don't even think about coming to Butchies if you are counting carbs or calories. They don't skimp on the butter. Even the brussels sprouts dish looked to be fried in butter (I doubt I would eat them otherwise to be honest). Butchies hits all the right notes on well prepared southern comfort food. Its not something you can eat every day but its definitively worth coming back for.

    Modern diner vibe
    Farheen S.

    A modern diner restaurant in Whitby - Butchies serves comfort food. The menu includes your option of a meat plus 1, 2 or 3 sides. You order up at the counter and pay. Staff brings you water, cutlery and food to your table. There aren't any table numbers, they call your name out and you wave them over to you. The restaurant was busy on a Wednesday and staff were still able to navigate and find tables. They also have a wide selection of beers and a huge beautiful patio which I'm sure is buzzing in the summer. Food: 1) buttermilk fried chicken wings - large, deeply fried and tasty but definitely on the oily side. 2) Nashville hot chicken sandwich - a good chicken sandwich hut I was missing the Nashville hot part, it just felt like a conventional hot sauce - like Frank's. Nashville hot is typically a hot cayenne oil, this one had barely any heat. Sides: Mac and cheese - 4/5, creamy and yummy Fries - 5/5 thick and delicious Brussels sprouts - 4/5, delicious but not crispy enough for my liking The pies also looked delicious but we didn't get a chance to try as we were full. Prices are good as well, we paid $29 for both meals (add tip on top).

    We ordered pick up from Butchies for Fathers Day lunch. Although pre ordering the wait was a while but, we understand that holidays can be hectic for sure. We ordered an assortment of meals, country fried steak, chicken tenders, salmon, Mac and cheese, Nashville chicken sandwich, fries, yam fries, cucumber salad. The salmon was very dry and not much flavour unfortunately, chicken tenders were pretty overdone but otherwise, you could say it was a decent meal. Probably won't be in a rush to go back .. however, it was OK if you're looking for something different to try (and I see other reviewers have really enjoyed things so maybe volume got the best of them today.

    Nicki R.

    Customer Service: For a busy place, the staff were very friendly and offered suggestions. The ambiance was nice and the service was quick. Patio is cute in the summer, it really provides a memorable experience Food: I've been here a few times and tried their fried chicken wings and country fried steak with white bacon gravy. For sides, I got the mac n cheese (my favourite) and baba's cucumber salad. Everything was fire, I loved it. The salad was creamy and tasty. If there's one con, I'd have to say that the breading on the country fried steak and chicken was too much.

My mom and I both got wraps and half a container of salad. I got a Veggie Wrap with Smoked Tofu Salad and my mom got a BBQ Chicken Wrap with Roasted Eggplant Salad. We were stuffed. We swapped half a wrap so we could try both. Both were winners! The chicken was real BBQ chicken, lots of greens and some veganese(vegan mayo, but you wouldn't know it). My veggie wrap was hearty, full of roasted peppers, goat cheese, eggplant and sprouts. The service was great! Food was excellent! I'm definitely going to try one of their drinks next time I'm in. While I was eating, I had a chance to read their extensive drink menu and I've picked one out for my next visit! Really impressed! I'll be back!

I remember that I was very disappointed by the food, but at that time, I thought that they were just doing some experimentation to introduce interesting Asian fusion food in this culinarily underwhelming town of Whitby. Thought it would be a good try. So I decided to come back maybe after this place settled more, but then COVID hit. And we never had a chance to come back until today. Unfortunately, the food experience was even worse this time. And their beer went very far from my beer preference, serving a lot of beers with wacky flavors - looks like those beers are taking over their craft beer lineups. Food: We had # Charred octopus with seasoned tomato sauce, chorizo, Calabria chili, ink tapioca crisp. Well, Octopus did not have "charred" flavor. Surface had no crispness. The portion was huge, but the octopus was rubbery texture, dry. The tomato sauce underneath it was just too much for the octopus portion. Over-seasoned & salty tomato sauce with additional salt and spice from chorizo pieces. Do they want to make me thirsty to sell more beer? Yes that might have worked, and unfortunately it didn't. I waited for our server to order another beer but it took her more than 15 minutes to come to our table . # Jagerschnitzel : Essentially, schnitzel. Came with braised red cabbage, apple sauerkraut, Yukon mashed potato with "mushroom sauce". Schnitzel was endlessly huge but dry. Mushroom sauce tasted like can or some pre-made cheap & junky taste. A lot of mashed potatoes. Well suited for those who want to get a lot of comfort food to fill stomach with no intention of enjoying delicacy. Beer was OK. They have rotating beer selections on tap. We had tap beers such as IPA, Scotch Ale and Premium Pilsner. IPA was not as good, it left a lot of one-dimensional bitter aftertaste. If I want IPA then I will go to Town Brewery. Premium Pilsner was good. We also had Scotch Ale which was also good with nice Scotch aftertaste. Do I come back? No, if the food quality remains the same.

I'd say ten minutes after my order was accepted, it was cancelled. I had to scramble to find somewhere else to grab takeout for dinner. I never got a reason why my order was abruptly cancelled. This experience made me avoid hitting Ghost Kitchens until I was recently in Ajax. I have been craving salad practically every day for the last month. After running some errands in the area, I was ready for some lunch. I did a search on my Uber Eats app and found Saladworks. I placed the following order: - Bently salad with light raspberry vinaigrette - Daydream cucumber beverage It had an estimated pickup time of fifteen minutes. It was perfect for me to slowly make my way over here. I looked at the address and it said that it was in Ghost Kitchens. I will admit that I did have some reservations after having placed this order. The good news was that it never got cancelled, so I was happy. This Ghost Kitchens location is in a plaza. It's closest to Kingston Road, with the main entrance facing south. I backed into a parking spot and walked in. There is a huge screen where you can place your order if you don't have Uber Eats or some other app installed. I walked over to the pickup counter and dinged the bell. A woman said that she would be right there. She asked for my order number. I rattled it off to her. She found my order and handed it to me. I thanked her and headed to my car to eat. You can also dine inside. There were plenty of seats and tables. The downside was that washrooms were unavailable during my visit. I thoroughly enjoyed my salad. The base was a romaine-iceberg lettuce blend. It had smoked ham, roasted turkey, sliced egg, diced tomatoes, and provolone cheese. What was cool was that most proteins were cubed. It was a nice change of pace. This salad was awesome, especially with the light raspberry vinaigrette. The salad was crunchy and fresh. The raspberry vinaigrette was delicious such that I took it home to enjoy on another salad the following week. If this place offered bottles of this vinaigrette, I'd get some in a heartbeat. My salad came with some rosemary bread. It was a nice touch. It was yummy. You didn't get a lot of it, but it was a perfect side to the salad. I wash everything down with a can of Daydream cucumber lime beverage. It tasted like getting a drink at a spa. I loved the subtle cucumber flavour with a hint of lime. It wasn't worth what I had paid for, though, especially when I found a four-pack of this flavour at Winners a week later that was perhaps a twoonie more. I finally placed a successful order from Ghost Kitchens. I absolutely loved my salad from Saladworks and had a great experience. I can't wait to explore its other salads on the menu. (209)
