Butter Run has a cool bar with lots of choices for liquor and a menu dedicated to booze. We tried out their breakfast food here. The breakfast menu is small but they cover the basics. The server was friendly and attentive and we ordered a Bloody Mary with our breakfast. We got the 3 egg omelette and the corn beef hash with eggs. The Bloody Marys were good, as well as the food. Very satisfied with our breakfast. read more

Excellent beef barley soup which is their signature dish. Great service, friendly staff.

Me and my buddies went out to our first bar together after turning 21 and this was the spot. The service was super quick and attentive as well as being very polite in answering any questions we had. There was some bits of food on the floor that hadn't been swept but other then the place was very nice and decorated fest for Christmas. The food was very good quality especially for the bar and any of their seasonal drinks are a 15/10 you have to try it! read more

Can't go wrong yet Butter Run. There chef takes pride in everything he cooks. Always has great specials. If you're lucky get the short ribs they're totally awesome. Their burgers are great the wings are phenomenal. They even take pride in their side vegetables. If you're in St Clair Shores make it over to a Butter Run. read more

Had a great time hanging out watching the wings, have been here twice and will be back again got a little loud but great atmosphere and music selections. Service was great as well. read more

Good food. Large portion meatloaf dinner. Club burger was very good and was cooked medium as requested. Amazing to get thin patties cooked perfectly. Disappointed with Scotch prices. Very large selection but a pour is priced nearly 1/3 of the cost to purchase a bottle of it at the store. read more

I go there for breakfast and it's a great price and good food! It's the best after a long night and you need something to sooth the headache, on top of that the staff is always very pleasant! read more

Friday prime rib special-all out at 9 pm. No problem. Ordered escargot, steak bites & salad to share. All tasted great. Waitress- who was awesome, brought out 2 salads, to compensate for no prime rib - nice touch. 1 tall draft ipa & 2 glasses of wine. Bill came to $80 including a good tip. Fun place . Better than bar food. read more

Amazing atmosphere! The service was good. However, the food was very underwhelming... which was highly disappointing for all of us. We really wanted this spot to kill it, but the food came out short. The hard beer cheeses, lack of home cooking and more store bought dishes made us not finish our food. Hope they can get back to the roots they explained in their menu. read more

What a fun little adventure to the Butter Run Saloon! We had a round of drinks and loved the bourbon selection! We also had pretzels, soups and sandwiches. We were all impressed and happily full when we left. Note: My daughter said this was the best Shirley temple she has ever had! read more

Another great place for burgers & beer. They serve bourbon flights (you get to choose brands). Mmmmm

Great small bar ambiance along with one of the best offerings of upscale whiskeys. A wide range scotch, bourbon, and ryes. This is paired with a menu of classic bar foods / sandwiches. Worth the trip read more

I happened to be in the area and decided to give this place a try. I had heard they had an impressive whiskey/bourbon selection. But I was just going to stop in and have one. When I got there it was pretty quiet. The bar tender, Bea, was amazing and super sweet and helpful. She showed me the extensive selection of liquor. I decided to just grab a beer. A group of boaters came in, and despite my objections bought me a second beer. They seemed harmless and very nice, but Bea kept checking on me. I loved that. She made sure they weren't harassing me in any way. I ended up sitting with them and we shared some Escargot, which I didn't think I would like. It was amazing. Bea continued to make sure I was ok. I left as they were doing shots. I absolutely loved this place. It was a Boujee dive bar. Ha. So much to see on every wall. A crazy amount of alcohol. Amazing service. And the food was incredible. This may become a fav for me. read more

Tried this place for first time. Late lunch on Tuesday afternoon. It is a bar. Inside is small with tables close together, 4 or 2 seats. There is outside seating. Waitstaff very friendly. I ordered Blake's Traffic Jam hard cider $6 for 16 oz. Reubens $12 added onion rings $3.50. Sandwich was huge. As were the onion rings. Corned beef real, not deli. Onion rings battered dip very crunchy, really good!!! Took home half sandwich and onion rings. read more

This is heaven if you are a bourbon drinker. It's a long list and super interesting. They may not have all and they do have most. Bring your glasses- it's fine print and dark- especially if you're over 50 ! (At night it's dimly lit) Wood everywhere and touches of local decor like year books from local spots. Had the fried mushrooms and onion rings. The baskets were huge! Wonderful breading and healthy serving. Also- nice beer list. Low key and nice atmosphere. It's cozy inside and they do have a patio. Parking is tight and you may not be able to get into lot. Friendly staff- good service. read more

Use to be a great place to have a good meal, but as everything else times are changing. Prime rib is now $32. for same portion, asked for perch dinner sautéed that had no flavor and was 3 pieces. Pork chops were dry and very thin. Not sure about visiting again. read more

All the whiskey at a Great price. I don't remember the food but the flight of whiskey was awesome

Quick and friendly service. Their burgers, Chicken and waffles and Onions rings are amazing!

Super cool little pub-I love the decorations it's a real authentic looking pub. The food was not that great. There were six of us for lunch/drinks- half of us had the half soup /half sandwich. The clam chowder was ok-nothing special, the corn beef was just a small pile of string beef-It had nothing else on it. Another person had a chicken salad and it hardly had any chicken on a it- she complained and the waitress was not very happy about it. Our waitress was the worst thing about the place. It's not somewhere where I would go back to. read more

Came with a couple of girlfriends to enjoy brunch. We sat in the cute igloos, which were a bit cold without the sun out. I had the bbq corned beef sandwich which was so good! We also ordered the potato skins and fried pickles. Both were very good. The service was very goof. You are on a 1.5 hour time limit with the igloos and have to make a reservation. read more

First-and-foremost, this place is a bar. This particular bar has the best selection of scotch, bourbon, and whiskey I've ever seen. If there's a brand or vintage you can't usually find when you go out, try here. That being said, my expectations for the food were not high but they were easily exceeded. I've eaten here a few times and I've left happy and full [and maybe a little tipsy] every time. I usually get a fish dish and it's always really tasty. The waitress says they make everything from scratch except the fries [chips] and even those are really good. Last time I was there we sat outside. I was chilly so I had some chili to warm up and it was really good. Not very spicy. My son got the stacked ham sandwich with cheddar instead of swiss. I tried a bite and it was really good. They use the thick-cut ham. It reminded me of a ham and cheddar hot pocket, which for me is a compliment; I love those things. On the cocktail side of things, they don't have anything too fancy, but it's really not that kind of place. Think Jack-and-Coke, straight-up, on-the-rocks. Maybe a martini or a manhattan or an old-fashioned. If it's a cocktail that's been around since prohibition, you can order it here. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The one good thing to come out of COVID dining restrictions is the Al Fresco dining. I love their outdoor "beach" with all the picnic tables. However, they didn't have the staff to open this when I was last in, but I can walk to this place, so you know I'll be back. In the picture, I convinced my son to keep eating by telling him when he was full, his belly button would go from "innie" to "outie" so he's eating fries while watching his belly button. Good times! read more

The service was excellent. Came for a cocktail and someplace to talk to my friend. Rustic setting but warm and friendly. Small as bars go, with better than average food offerings. Several people came just to eat. I'd go back for food another time. read more

Decided to try Butter Run Saloon since we seen it in "The whiskey advocate" as one of the top 50 whiskey bars across the nation. The whiskey/bourbon menu did not disappoint and the food was surprisingly great for a small rough bar. Service was great as well. One star off since it was really loud and could barely have a conversation, but it was tons of fun read more

Always good food. We went for breakfast and it was nice with a Bloody Mary to help it down.

I have never seen as extensive a bourbon list as at the Butter Run Saloon. Only knock was with such a list it is hard to keep them all in stock. We were there in prime rib night so the place was packed and very loud. Food was okay, drinks made up for the food. read more

Been trying to get this place for awhile, such a cool little place super friendly bartender!! Amazing bourbon selection, great food only bad thing ...... bar stools not very comfy. Unique to say the least custom metal stools was afraid id cut my legs on them lol read more

Food order was wrong. Beer was tepid at best. Service was horrible, she didn't want to be there. Told us her coworkers medical issues (specifically) and that's why she had to work. Ambiance would be nice if they would allow to sit in the picnic table section. It was Closed, no help we were told. So we are Done with the Run read more

We live in the neighboring town, and like to leave our town as not to run into people we know and have to pretend we want to talk to them, so hence a new spot for us. I drive by here every morn on the way to my office, and bookmarked it for future. Well tonight was future night, and so happy it was. Let the pics speak for themselves. Great menu, great service! Love this place and plan on being a regular. read more

I had some breakfast here recently and ordered the eggs benedict. They were pretty good, however the hollandaise sauce was really cold, and almost gritty. Also, the waitstaff seems a bit aloof. Almost as if they can't handle waiting on multiple people. I do enjoy the fact that I can go there any try basically any bourbon that I might desire. read more

Such an amazing spot with a old vintage bar style. Small and quaint which I like, Seems like a friendly place where there are regulars forsure! I ordered the Butter Run Deli and OH MY GOD is all I have to say! Honestly it might have been the best sandwhich I've ever had. I also believe the thousand island dressing was homemade and out of this world! Our waiter was such a sweetheart and everyone was so friendly! I know I will be back to try some of the other sandwiches! read more

Located within walking distance. Food is always fresh even with take-out. There is a smaller parking lot with addition of out door dining.

Love this place. If you also love bourbon, you will too. They have an amazing list of bourbons (scotches, Irish whiskeys as well!) that gives you an opportunity to try some pretty unique and semi-obscure brown liquids. Atmosphere​ is old-time roadhouse kinda bar, and the typical bar food is pretty good. Hand-battered onion rings, steak fries, an assortment of burgers and sandwiches. We are looking forward to trying their fish & chips on the next visit. Friendly and attentive service without being annoying. Met some nice folks at the bar who live a few blocks away from us. Great spot! read more

I've been here twice. I liked the nostalgic atmosphere but the food is horrible! I was so very disappointed because I was hoping to find a local bar my husband and I could enjoy going to for dinner. I won't be back as I don't want to waste any more money on food that's not edible. read more

I had the full Michigan experience with the stacked ham. A nice sandwich. But the most memorable aspect of our visit was that I finally heard the Michigan accent. Definitely not a Wisconsin or Minnesota accent. And, of course, there is no Nebraska accent. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, pleasant atmosphere, fantastic drink selection, reasonable prices, and the food is fantastic. This might be my new favorite local place. read more

Hugeeee selection from bourbon to scotch and everything else. Great music similar to XM chill. Bartenders Whitney & Mandy were the only 2 at the bar, given the amount of people there were on a Friday night they were awesome and attentive when needed whilst sitting at the bar. Had the Aberlour 16 yr which was recommended for a single malt. However, the 12 yr. costs more for a reason (it's better). Regardless, a great bourbon/scotch/whiskey bar that is not in downtown Detroit. They have of both beer and whiskey that go from your cheap redneck fix to your $100+ pours. read more

Above average bar with great list of whiskey and beer on tap. Unfortunately, the food was so-so. I will say the fried pickles were good. But the pretzels app and white fish dinner wasn't worth wasting time on. So in short, just go for drinks ;) read more
