The Arrogant Butcher - Dessert menu - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I almost never give reviews to places, but this place deserves one. Collin was our fantastic server! He was so kind and personable. My husband got the Cactus Juicy and the All American Blonde beers- both great and light. I ordered 2 of the Blood Orange Paloma drinks- so delicious and light. The app nachos were awesome and the Buther's half chicken was some of the best chicken I've had in a long time. I paired that with the green chile creamed corn. The only downside was the music was a bit loud on the patio for conversation, but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time here for lunch!! HIGHLY recommend. read more

The Arrogant Butcher came highly recommended by the concierge at the Sheraton, and what a great recommendation! We were in town for a huge convention, and the restaurant was packed on a Monday night. Luckily, we found seats at the bar, and that turned out to be a fantastic choice. Our bartender/server, Chia, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly busy, but somehow made sure everyone at the bar received phenomenal service. Friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything--she really made the experience special. And the food was fantastic! Everything we had was tasty, but I especially loved the grilled Brussels sprouts. And the brownie lava cake with ice cream was absolutely delicious--the perfect way to finish the meal! I also really enjoyed the ambiance. It has that energetic downtown feel and is a great spot for sporting events, drinks, dinner, or just hanging out. There's also outdoor seating with misters, although with temperatures still over 102F at 7 p.m., most people wisely chose to dine inside where it was much cooler. A little history The Arrogant Butcher opened in 2011 at CityScape in downtown Phoenix, becoming one of restaurateur Sam Fox's early downtown Phoenix concepts under Fox Restaurant Concepts. Its location right in the heart of downtown, next to what was then US Airways Center, made it a natural destination for game nights, conventions, and downtown visitors. All in all, great downtown location, excellent service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere. It's conveniently located not far from the Sheraton, which made it an easy walk/ride for us. Highly recommend The Arrogant Butcher! And a special shoutout to Chia for taking such great care of us. Cheers! read more

The bartender greeted me as I came in for a late lunch and quickly informed me that they make everything fresh with a farm-to-table pipeline. She gave me a sample of the Cactus Bird Juicy Wheat, and it was the right call for a light mid-day beverage. After some good feedback on my shortlist of lunch queries, I went with the Farmer's Market Bowl--featuring charred avocado, grilled asparagus, crispy Japanese sweet potato, toasted grains, red pepper emulsion, salted cashew, arugula, and chimichurri--which was flavorful and light, filling without being heavy. I trashed the plated presentation by quickly stirring the bowl to ensure that all the ingredients got coated in the sauce. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch while traveling, and it was a great break! For starters, we got the meatballs--they were super delicious and a definite must-try. My bowl of chicken noodle soup was okay, though nothing too special. My husband ordered the Caesar salad, which had an interesting twist with Brussels sprouts mixed in; I tried a bite and actually didn't mind the unique take! The portions were generous, and the service was quick, attentive, and friendly throughout. read more

Great food and service at a reasonable price point. Really enjoyed our dinner here on Father's Day. We started out with spinach and artichoke dip which was decent but not anything special. For entrees we got the prime rib and crispy chicken breast. We both really enjoyed our entrees. The prime rib was the perfect temp and 12oz was plenty of meat. We finished with a banana split which was great. Would definitely come back here next time I'm downtown. read more

We had dinner at The Arrogant Butcher and overall it was a really solid experience. From the moment we sat down, the service stood out--our servers were friendly, attentive, and consistently checked in without being overbearing, which made the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. The menu has a nice variety, and we each ended up trying something different. The sandwiches come with one side, and I decided to upgrade to the mac and cheese for an extra $3--and that was absolutely the right call. It was creamy, rich, and full of flavor--honestly the highlight of my meal. I ordered the French Dip, which had great flavor overall, though it was a bit more well-done than I personally prefer since I usually like mine closer to rare. Still, the bread was good, the au jus added nice depth, and it was an enjoyable dish. One thing that stands out for me is the salt and pepper mill on our table. I love freshly ground black pepper. My husband ordered the Kobe burger, and that was a definite win--juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. He really loved it. My daughter went with the steak, which she said was good, but it didn't quite stand out compared to some of the other dishes we tried. Overall, it was a good meal with a mix of standout items and a few that didn't quite wow us. The excellent service and comfortable atmosphere definitely added to the experience, and we'd come back again--especially knowing what to order next time read more

After a wonderful experience last night, I finally had to write this. I've been here four times now, and it gets busy for a reason - great atmosphere, great food, great service, quick, and everything is made fresh. My waitress last night was Emily, who was also my waitress on a previous visit. She is FANTASTIC - friendly, knowledgeable, makes excellent recommendations, and is the exact reason I leave completely satisfied every time (and why my bill is so high!). Management - keep her on the payroll at all costs. She even offered a free dessert and vouched for my parking ticket. Above and beyond. On her recommendation, I tried the oysters and thank goodness I did. They were delivered by the new manager, Louis (I believe that's his name - he was my waiter the other two times I've been here). He was enthusiastic, warm, and just all around fun to talk to. You can tell he really cares about the experience. Needless to say - the best oysters I've ever had. This place is such a treat, and every time I go I make it a point to try something new on the menu and it never disappoints. I keep bracing myself for just a decent meal, but honestly, it's been so consistent and so flavorful I've come to believe this is simply the standard they uphold and maintain. Love this place and highly recommend. read more

Great food and a wonderful atmosphere! They even offer The Prisoner wine and plenty of it. The blue cheese olive martinis were outstanding, and the menu features hearty, down home favorites. I highly recommend the prosciutto pork chops. The pretzels with cheese and Brussels sprouts make excellent appetizers as well. The service was exceptional, and the restaurant is clearly very well managed. I highly recommend Arrogant Butcher to anyone looking for a great dining experience. read more

Went to The Arrogant Butcher and overall had a really nice experience. The crispy rice tuna was honestly perfection, definitely one of the best things we ordered. The meatballs were really yummy too, but I do wish there had been a little more sauce with them. I got the steak and it was cooked to the correct temperature, but it was a bit tough and chewy, which was a little disappointing. The sea bass on the other hand was perfection and probably my favorite dish of the night. The service was amazing and the staff were always really thoughtful and attentive. The ambience was fun and felt elevated but still casual, which made it a great place to relax and enjoy dinner. read more

Impressed with everything. Our server Cameron was awesome, food was clutch (solid menu), great cocktails, & amazing deserts. French dip didn't disappoint-- lotta cheese (which I like) but make sure to ask light if you don't want it fully immersed in delicious cheese. Kobe burger really solid, crispy bacon & Mac & cheese side worth the upgrade. Meatballs were amazing, could eat 2 orders myself! And dessert was awesome, would go again anytime! And they gave us some nice note & champagne to celebrate our anniversary-- first class move!! read more

Came here for a friend's birthday. The staff was attentive and friendly, and they validated my parking (only at CityScape parking garages). Slightly dimmed lights, but a fine overall vibe, not too fancy, not too casual. We enjoyed the meatballs and crispy shrimp as appetizers. My friend did not love their filet mignon, but it was okay. The Steak Salad was a clear winner for the table. I enjoyed my Pacific Sea Bass, the flavor and cook was great, and the veggies were flavorful and tasty too. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and was very pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was! The appetizers were great, the entrees were delicious and filling, and the dessert was outstanding! The mocktail I got was also unexpectedly very good. Also, they apparently have the best meatloaf in town - I'm not really a meatloaf girly, but the people at the table who got it said that it was fantastic! Our server was awesome and the ambiance here is very nice - albeit a little bit dim - I would definitely come back! It was a bit pricey, but not unreasonable given the quality of the food and the location. read more

Went on a whim without reservations, and got to sit at the chef's counter! Our server was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! So was the super welcoming manager! The layout is simply gorgeous. Their seasonal sangria and fairway margarita are strong but so refreshing and easy to drink! That Crispy Chicken Breast is hands down the best chicken dish that I've ever had anywhere. In fact, I'm still dreaming about it. Can't wait to go back to try more of their menu the next time I'm town! I've heard amazing things about their happy hour! Highly recommend! read more

Service was amazing. Our server Anita was on top of it and that made the experience great. Food was good but my potato risotto was soo salty I could barely eat it. They added way too much salt to my salmon dinner. I asked for a gluten-free instead of gluten I guess they replaced with salt. My mil said steak was best she ever had. read more

I recently moved to Arizona and have been exploring different restaurants. Last night, I visited The Arrogant Butcher in Downtown Phoenix to celebrate a friend's birthday with another friend who was visiting from Texas. This was my first time here. First, let me say that this place is fabulous! Their menu has a lot of variety and their food does not have MSG (mono sodium glutamate), which is crucial for those highly allergic to it (one of my friends is). That said, our waitress that we had was absolutely sweet, socially engaging, and delivered exceptional service. She welcomed all of us, explained the menu, and made sure to acknowledge the little but important things during our dining. One of my friends ordered steak and asparagus = sublime. I ordered chicken egg rolls, again, a delicious appetizer, and my other friend ordered fish chips with a side. My overall dining experience was wonderful, the ambiance is great, very social and chill environment but can also be intimate. I highly recommend this restaurant. I personally will be back again. I also gave my waitress a much deserved larger tip. read more

A small group of us came for dinner before attending a concert at the AZ Financial Theatre. I had made a reservation several days prior and when we arrived we were immediately seated. There was a line building of patrons wanting to eat so we were glad we had the reservation. Friendly greeting upon arrival and when we were seated our server came over immediately to introduce herself and let us know she would be right back. We had time to review the drink and food menu; Jen was server and came for drink orders first. Wife ordered the Kiwi Water Margarita and I had water. Others also ordered drinks and when delivered, everyone said their drinks were perfect. Wife loved her margarita and was happy that they were able to accommodate her request for a sugar rim. Once drinks were delivered, Jen was quick to come back and take dinner orders. I ordered the fish & chips and wife ordered the crispy chicken. One of our friends ordered the Spinach & Artichoke Dip for the table and it came out warm and gooey. Everyone loved it!!! The fish & chips were fantastic...lightly battered rock fish which was tender and tasty. Loved the tarter sauce and actually ordered an extra one so my fries could be dipped. Came with slaw, which was creamy and savory...not sweet like sometimes it can be. I had asked for crispy fries and they delivered on that! Great dish and so happy! Wife had the crispy chicken which came with a filling of crab and green beans with a Calabrian Chile sauce which she said was tasty and not spicy at all. She loved it! The lemon caper butter was just the right touch and I would ask for some for the fish & chips as well because that combo would be so good! We ended our meal with the Old Fashion Cobbler (sorry no picture because everyone dived into it before I could photo it!)...wow that was pure pleasure! Full of spiced apples that were sliced and in a good slightly thick sauce and topped with vanilla ice cream. Great way to end the meal. Overall, it was busy...a tad loud...but Jen was great, on top of things and we would definitely come again when in downtown. read more

I did a lot of research (on Yelp, of course) before choosing The Arrogant Butcher for a celebratory dinner while visiting Arizona, so my expectations were high. We started off with old fashioneds, and unfortunately, that set the tone for the night. We specifically asked for them to be made at half sweetness, but they came out incredibly sweet... more like 150%. When we mentioned it, our server (who was otherwise very sweet and attentive) asked if we wanted to order a shot to pour in and balance it out... but it wasn't complimentary. We weren't going to pay extra to fix a drink that wasn't made how we requested, so that part left a bad impression. On a brighter note, the tuna tataki appetizer was fantastic. This was easily the standout of the evening. Beautifully balanced flavors and textures that made me wish the same creativity carried into the entrées. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. It es flaky, buttery, and tender... but had almost no flavor. The vegetables underneath were tasty but minimal. The jambalaya packed plenty of heat but lacked depth. The farmer's market bowl was fresh, colorful, and overall one of the stronger dishes (though a little more chimichurri would have tied it together nicely). The boneless pork chop was flavorful and well-cooked. This was definitely the most satisfying entrée. Overall, it was a "meh" experience. A few dishes really shined, and our server was kind, but between the overly sweet drinks and uneven flavors, I left feeling like the meal didn't quite live up to the price point. read more

Not to be dramatic or anything, but I would happily fill an entire bathtub with their smashed potatoes, grab a spoon, and never look back. Zero regrets. Zero shame. These might actually be the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. I don't know what kind of butter fueled sorcery is happening back there, but I fully support it. If you're a mashed potato person, stop whatever you're doing and RUN. If you're not a mashed potato person, these will convert you. Also, the service was so incredible that I almost felt bad spending more time emotionally processing the potatoes than talking to the staff. 12/10. I'd come back for the hospitality... and the life changing potato experience. read more

Came here during restaurant week, my favorite time of the year in Phoenix! Got the oysters and the Butchers Platter to share for the table, the Oysters did have a little shell in them. Went with the Cesar salad, prime rib, and cheesecake for my 3- course meal. Our server was attentive and helped walk us through the menu as this was our first time here. Great location downtown right across the basketball arena where the Phoenix Mercury and Suns play and only a block away from Chase field. You can park in the garage attached to the building, either get a ticket at the entrance or if there's an event going on tell the attendant you're dining at the restaurant and they will give you one and your server will validate your parking for up to 2-hours. read more

I got this food to go... and I was shocked at how delicious it was, even to-go!! I'm gluten free - so I got the baked chicken with a side of mashed potatoes (photo attached). So freaking good. Though I was only inside briefly, the inside/ambiance of the restaurant was very stylish and modern - it seems like a cool place to dine in. And the server who got my order was quick and friendly! I'd definitely check this place out! :) read more

My friends and I had a great time on Saturday evening! I was the last one to arrive and the restaurant was packed. I was able to check in with a staff member and hunt for my friends. I got the chance to walk around the restaurant which is huge. The front has a large square bar surrounded by tables and an outdoor patio with tables and masters. Behind the bar is a bustling kitchen and next to that are even more tables with two separate rooms in the back. I found my friends in a booth and got to check out the menu and the vibe. They have a great mix of sandwiches, burgers, and entrees as well as a specialized drink menu. The restaurant has a very laid back, but upscale vibe to it-you can be in shorts or a suit and fit right in. Our server was very nice and accommodating. He kept out water glasses full and provided some great recommendations. I went with the Atlantic Salmon that was super crispy yet soft on the inside. It was surrounded by arugula and couscous, which was in this buttery sauce that was oh so good! I got about half way through and couldn't eat anymore! Can't wait for the leftovers and to return to the Arrogant Butcher! read more

Cool lighting and finishes throughout and amazingly beautiful decor! It's set up really well with a bar area separate, three different dining areas, private rooms, and really spacious tables. The service we received was outstanding - and very timely, knowledgable, patient. The food was quite good for the most part. The two chicken recipes we tried were fantastic - crispy, flavoured and incredibly juicy! The only strats I didn't love were the sides: the sprouts were cooked to perfection but they were a bit plain and needed a little something on the side and the macaroni and cheese was a let down, it was definitely a little under cheesy. read more

Top-notch experience eating here. The brussel sprouts are fantastic, truffle fries were super hot and crispy and the cheese plate is a great selection for a wine pairing. My wife and I ate here before a concert and ordered all of the above on happy hour. The staff is fantastic. We had a gift card that didn't work, so the manager gave us his discount as a consolation for the inconvenience. Will definitely come back. read more

Solid! 5 stars for our amazing bartender/server... Janette! She was amazing. Absolutely lovely, attentive and gave just enough attention. I've been coming here for over 4 years since I moved here from NYC and tonight has been my favorite visit. The food, not so great this evening, but I'll be back either way for the bar experience. Always a love atmosphere no matter what. read more

What a gem in downtown Phoenix! We had an incredible experience at The Arrogant Butcher before heading to a baseball game just a short 10-minute walk away -- the perfect spot to kick things off. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance stood out: lively, stylish, and fun without being too loud. The staff was not only friendly but also impressively attentive -- they took my husband's celiac disease seriously and made sure everything was gluten-free with no cross-contamination. That kind of care and knowledge is rare and so appreciated. We ordered a variety of food and drinks and loved everything. The pork carnitas nachos were bold and flavorful, the cheeseburger was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the jambalaya had just the right amount of heat. Drink-wise, the daiquiri and marg were both refreshing and well-balanced. Highly recommend if you're catching a game or just want great food in a vibrant setting. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great dinner tonight. My son said it was the best burger he has ever had, and that is high praise, indeed! I had the crispy chicken, which is a breaded chicken breast topped with some lump crab and a nice lemon butter sauce - fair warning, though, it was spicy. Once I realized that and picked out the little pieces of red chili pepper. I did much better. It was delicious! Service was fabulous and the energy was good, it's a pretty cool place. We will go back tomorrow for salads and a dessert. Also the smashed potato thing was really good, but it's pretty much just like mashed potatoes with some stuff on top of it. Not crispy with skin on like I assumed. read more

While on a convention trip to Phoenix, in addition to Carcara in the Sheraton Hotel, we also dined at the Arrogant Butcher (a member of the Fox Restaurant Concepts' family) as recommended by the Sheraton concierge. It was an outstanding meal. While it is a sports bar concept with a lively bar there was also a pleasant appointed dining area. The staff from the front of the house to the serves were attentive and provided excellent customer service. Two people in our party tried the Brussels & Squash with Fuji apple, pomegranate, romaine, arugula, crispy sweet potato, ancient grains, almond, goat cheese, and brown sugar thyme vinaigrette. One person added salmon to their salad and the other adding chicken. I guess the fact that their plates were cleaned indicates they enjoyed it. I went for the Pacific Sea Bass with grilled artichoke, green beans, roasted tomato, green olives, and lemon caper butter. While I enjoyed the entree, it would have been nice to have had a larger portion of Sea Bass. We briefly considered enjoying our dinner on the outside patio but the 100+ degree temperature quickly dismissed that idea. Overall, a good dining experience. read more

Not pictured was my bowl of chicken noodle, which was ok nothing too special and my husband had the Cesar salad which was interested, I had a bite and it had Brussel sprouts in it. I didn't hate it, a different approach on a Cesar salad. The portions were generous and the service was great. Everyone was so nice and the service was quick. read more

We stopped in since it was close by to where we parked after my niece's volleyball tournament on a Sunday around lunch time. Was glad it wasn't packed so we were seated right away. Server was very nice and attentive. For lunch we probably didn't want to pay much as we did and the food was a hit or a miss. My sister ordered the smoked carnitas nachos, it had great topping on it but wasn't enough as the nachos were very dry to the pallet. My niece ordered the tuna tataki crispy rice, she seemed to enjoy it. I ordered the AB cheeseburger, it was quit delicious. The server was nice enough to sub french fries for their loaded smashed potatoes which was full of flavors. They do offer HH Mon-Fri from 2-5 pm only at the bar. They should have HH on the weekends to attract more customers as it was pretty empty on a Sunday. read more

Solid place for some legit comfort food. We ordered the meat loaf, chicken, and jambalaya. All were delicious and full of flavor. Service was good but it did take the food a while to get served. Good amount of seating. Make sure to pick the correct parking lot for validation as we had a problem with the validation and ended up not getting validated which was annoying and expensive due to it being downtown. read more

Arrogant Butcher downtown I feel like is a staple now. It's the same as it's always been, which is mostly good. Plenty of tables, clean environment, and consistently good food. The overall experience and service isn't anything special and the food, while good, isn't worth going out of your way for. If you're downtown already (such as for an event), this is a great place to go where you're sure to get a good meal. read more
