Had a great overall experience at Butch's. I went there with my parents who are around 90 and they were so sweet when we arrived. 2 groups offered to jump off their tables when they saw us come in and they quickly cleaned the table before we sat down. The high top seating was sturdy and comfortable for everyone. It made it so easy for my parents who hadn't been out to eat since my dad broke his hip in November. The Friday fish fry was delicious, affordable and satisfying. The entire staff made it such a fun experience , including Butch coming over and cracking up over my dad's jokes. I enticed my mom to play the bowling game which she had never played and she scores 54 - 135 - 177. I may have created a monster because now she wants to join the league read more

Great place for dinner! The kitchen is immaculate, staff is very friendly, and the food was awesome. We had chicken wings done perfectly, very meaty and a burger also done perfectly. they obviously take great pride in their product. Can't beat it for the price point. We absolutely will be back. read more

Love Butch's!! Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and goooooood burgers and mussels. The service is amazing as well!

The best BBQ in town, hands down. Butch is THE pit master. Fall off the bone ribs with a beautiful bark, sauce is sweet and tangy but you don't need much of it because the ribs are so well seasoned from the spice rub. Smoky flavor is out of this world. Brisket is ridiculously good. Tender, juicy, tons of flavor. It was my first time there and Butch himself introduced himself to me and made a point of making sure my experience was great. All of the staff was so friendly and kind. Friendly neighborhood bar where everyone seems to know one another, with a gem of a secret weapon- Butch. read more

Friendly service and great ribs. They take time to cook and present their ribs. Prices are fair.

Limited menu with great BBQ, pleasant small bar atmosphere. Service is always with a smile

WOW, I placed a catering order and it was delicious! The ribs, pulled pork, and smoked chicken was the best I've ever had. The guests at my party thought it was incredible. I visit Butch's quite often and always enjoy myself. The staff and patrons are the nicest people. It was my first time ordering catering, and I will definitely order again! This place is a must try for people that have never visited! read more

Came in on a Tuesday night. Amy was behind the bar and Charlene was cooking. Both girls were in there 30s (or so). Commented to Charlene that she had an old lady name, who agreed and said her dad named her after his first girlfriend. Whoa! This joint has 4 taps, of which 2 of them are out, so things started off a bit disappointing. However, they had Great Lakes Christmas Ale in a bottle. Yum yum. They also have a TouchTunes juke box I can play from my phone which is cool, and 4 nice size flat screens. Tuesday night special is a steak, potato and salad for $5.95. Monty had the steak and said it was very good. Amy talked me into the rib on a stick. Served in a basket, it was a slice of pork loin, seasoned, grilled and chopped up with a bbq sauce on the side. It was all good, but the bbq had a nice kick to it. Char said it was Sweat Baby Rays Original, I'm saying bull shit. It was a great sauce that may have started with SBR, but was very nicely doctored up. Also ordered the fried mushrooms. Small basket of shrooms, but very well done. Lastly, the place has a brass pole in the lounge. Asked Amy what that was all about and all she could say was "a guy owns the bar..." ROCK ON!!!!! read more

Very expensive for a corner bar.Greedy .No customer loyalty or service.They treat their customers like dirt.

Best Ribs I've had in a long time! They fell off the Bone Had a Fabulous Smoky flavor with great sauce. They were so good I didn't use the sauce. They were already Perfect! To think I gave driving by his place for years! Should have stopped in sooner! Thanks for cooking dinner tonight! Kathy read more

1st time experience, and will absolutely return. The device was friendly and welcoming, the prices fair, and the food fantastic. The barbecue is done onsite and you can tell that the onset takes pride in the food that is served. We felt that everyone was welcoming and we were greeted as soon as we walked I . The owner came to check on us and tell us about his business. Even out 1 year old loved it. So happy we stopped in. I would have posted pictures of the food but it was too good and we ate it all‍ read more

Went for the very first time. Lived in the area 40 years and decided to stop. Met up with a friend who was also a newbie. Place was clean and orderly. Ordered a cheeseburger to split and it was more than enough to share and was actually very good. My only complaint if I were to have one is that it's extremely limited on food choices as it is a limited menu but they offer a $10 lunch daily. Service was good. People were friendly. read more

RUDE! Stay Away. Went to have a work lunch with a few coworkers because the menu looked good. unfortunately the hospitality was not. the first two of our party arrived at 11:40, we walked in to see one person sitting at the bar and a few in the corner but the bartender told us they were not open till 12 and we had leave. Learn to lock the door instead of playing selective service to who you choose. We then texted the other co-workers and we ended up around the corner at The Crystal Keg and had a good lunch with drinks. read more

I have only been here one time so I will have to give a second chance before adjusting the rating. I am a KCBS certified judge, so I know a little about BBQ. I went in on a Monday night, which is their rib night. My first impression of the decor was that it was an old bar. The staff was friendly and prompt. I ordered 8 ribs and a side of cole slaw and BBQ sauce on the side. The slaw was excellent. The ribs were baby backs. The tenderness and pull from the bone was perfect. I also appreciate the removal of the membrane on the back. The sauce had a great flavor too. The flavor, however, was a little lacking. There was no smoke on these ribs. I also did not care for the bark. The rub was moist and mushy, but that would have been disguised if the sauce was put on the rib. I will have to give some of the other meats a try, but I am reluctant based on my first impression. I hope the feedback is valuable to the establishment and its customers. read more

Butch's is definitely not closed! Best Smoked ribs, brisket and pulled pork that I've ever had!! Small local bar with great BBQ, give them a try, you won't be sorry. read more

I called this restaurant one time, asked a small question. My first question was Is the owner there? Some gentlemen on the phone started screaming at me with verbal abuse and degrogatory comments to me. I only called there to ask what time they close or are they open late. The owner I imagine was on the phone and was a complete tool and Pompous Asshole. Don't bother coming here, I mean if you treat people on the phone like that, I could only imagine how you would talk to your guests in house or your employees!! Bad owners, bad employees, bad business. Go to Outback Steakhouse!! It's better Ribs anyway!!! read more

Great BBQ, check out the prime rib special on Tuesday & Thursday!! Staff is very friendly and the beer is always COLD... read more

Excellent Fried Bologna Sandwich on Monday's. Beef, Chicken and Shrimp kabobs on Wednesday. Very reasonably priced.

These ribs are awesome! I don't know how or why they have bad reviews- the ribs-- on point.

I must have driven past the place a billion times living in North Royalton for 5+ years. Since there aren't any great rib places around I thought I'd stop, plus the "2 time award winner" a frame sign made me wonder. A smoker/grill is on display in the front, but don't let that fool you. You walk in to the dive-iest of dives. I like dives, but no this is not the kind of place I want to buy ribs from. The 1 bartender who is serving 1 patron, pulls me out a slab from a warmer and gives me a couple sauces to-go. She was pleasant and nice, but I'd chalk the ribs up as some of the WORST. My husband said they weren't the worst but they weren't good in his book. I hated the sauce so much I had to rinse it off and put my bottle stuff on. The meat was dry and leathery, chewy, reminds me of... Alligator meat, very brittle. Not only that but 1 slab cost 18.00. Rip off. OH and when I was in the bar picking up the ribs I looked around for the "awards" the only ones i saw were from a LONG time ago, I'm talking maybe the 80's. I would love to know the date of the most recent award... read more

In most cases, I can excuse the decor if the food is good. I just couldn't bring myself to eat here after walking inside. Before "Butch" purchased the place, it was an old dive bar. Now, it's an old dive bar with a smoker out in front. It's very dark inside, and smelling of cigarette smoke - think Super 8 Motel lobby (minus 80% of the light bulbs). After walking inside, there was one person working the bar who looked at us but never made any offer to seat us despite there being only one other patron in the place that was seated at the bar. We were there for about 60 seconds and left. read more

Ordered ribs from here tonight for takeout. Along with coleslaw and back beans this was awesome. The ribs fall off the bone and have great flavor. The sides are just as good. Had a family event we decided to just order out for and had plenty of food and everyone left stuffed. Would definitely go to butchs again! read more

The ambiance will fool you,Butch and his staff are as friendly as can be. The jukebox has the best variety that I've seen. That being said,my wife and I showed up on Tuesday for prime rib . The quality of the prime rib was incredible. The portions were great . There is nothing bad to say about this place. You must stop here . Thanks Butch! read more
