A Maryland Restaurant Owner Goes on Trial for Allegedly Harassing an Underage Hostess [Updated] | Eater DC

"Opened in 2013 and closed in August 2020, Urban Butcher was a Silver Spring steakhouse where Raynold Mendizábal employed a teenage hostess in 2019 who later filed a March 2021 civil lawsuit alleging routine sexual harassment and unwelcome physical advances. The complaint says Mendizábal, then 48, would regularly greet her by saying “hello, beautiful,” follow with comments on her appearance, give a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and that this conduct caused her severe physical and psychological harms — anxiety, depression, loss of self-esteem, lack of appetite and insomnia — as well as alleged financial losses; the suit sought up to $5 million in compensatory damages plus statutory damages, legal fees, and other relief. I reported that a jury trial began December 19 in Rockville’s Montgomery County Circuit Court and that Mendizábal was found not guilty on December 21; a pretrial hearing and mandatory settlement conference had taken place in December 2021. After opening Urban Butcher, Mendizábal earned recognition including a 2016 Chef of the Year award from the Restaurant Association of Maryland, a spot on Washingtonian’s 100 Very Best Restaurants (No. 75 in 2020), and generally positive reviews from the Washington Post." - Tierney Plumb

This spot was recommended by a local I met nearby. I’m so glad I went! The staff was super nice, place was busy which means it’s popular! Sandwich was on point. Their ordering system is super easy, they give you a paper to fill out for your selections on your sandwich, which is totally my vibe. They’re cutting fresh meat in the same location so you know all the ingredients are fresh. Recommend this spot! Also, SUCH GOOD PRICING!!! I got a turkey sandwich, chips, Dr Pepper, and side of tortellini pasta salad for $16!

Great selection of meats, love their pre marinated tri-tips , really great quality of food overall, never had a bad experience here definitely my go to when looking for quality, price is a little bit higher than most but not as expensive as kinders so that’s why BFM is my go to!

Absolutely fantastic sandwich shop! Lots of options for your cravings. Also pasta salad options. Uncooked meat is always off the charts!

The counter guys were knowledgeable about the cuts of meat I was looking to purchase and some of the best ways to bring out the flavor I wanted.

I’m so happy to found this place. The tomahawk turns out perfect! Highly recommend their other things too like the bbq bean and lemon pepper chicken wings. Definitely coming back for more soon.

Marinated tri-tip and garlic bread is like no other... excellent! Deli/ sandwiches also very good.

Tom S.

Outstanding steaks. The ground chuck makes the best hamburger and chili meat I’ve ever had. The frozen chicken Parmesan balls with vodka tomato sauce amazing.

Michael S.

The sandwiches are quite tasty... but if you took the competitions sandwich and cut it in half that's the size sandwich you're getting. I would say 6 inches is a stretch.... If I'm charged full price for a sandwich it should not be a half sandwich cut in half..... 🦕 See penny for scale

Courtney C.

The pastrami sandwich on sweet bread is to DIE for! It is so juicy, flavor-packed, and tender yet crisp on the edges. It tastes almost like bacon, so if you don't eat pork-- you must try this!! I ordered my sandwich with nearly everything and it's my new favorite. Go, Go, GOOO!!!

Leland S.

Yelp

Good sandwiches. On the small side though. Be prepared, their sandwiches are about the size of half of a regular deli sandwich. Good pre-marinated meat, solid butcher.

Laura V.

Yelp

We had Brentwood Fine Meats cater our baby shower and it was amazing! We had chicken, bbq ribs, mash potatoes, baked beans, Caesar salad and cheesy bread. Everyone was raving about how good the food was! I wish there were more reviews on how good the food is for catering, so here's mine! Definitely will recommend and use in the future!!

Eric B.

Yelp

Great tasting meat. The tri trip was delicious. The sweet roll was nice and soft, not too sweet. I wish they would load it with more peppercini's. The sandwiches are not very big so if you are hungry get two. Ambiance is like a standard butcher shop. One side has the deli and the other side has all the fresh and frozen meats, seafood and pies you can buy. The lady that rang me up was nice. Nothing above and beyond. I'll come back to try something different.

William C.

Yelp

I've eaten here several times for lunch. The sandwiches are big ,you can actually make 2 out of the one. I've also purchased the prime rib for special occasions. Along with various side dishes, it always turned out great. The small dining area is great for lunch. The deli has great salads. Home-made tortellini is a fav of mine, so for convenience and parking with good food on the go, I recommend this location

Baylee H.

Yelp

We had the absolute pleasure of having Brentwood Fine Meats cater our wedding, and we're still hearing rave reviews from our guests! From start to finish, their team was professional, attentive, and deeply passionate about what they do -- and it showed in every bite. Greg was so kind and super great to communicate with! The meats were beyond exceptional -- tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You could taste the quality and care in every dish. Their tri-tip practically melted in your mouth, the mashed potatoes were so creamy, salad was fresh, and the chicken wings were so delicious! If you're looking for catering that goes above and beyond, Brentwood Fine Meats is the gold standard. We're so grateful for their role in making our day unforgettable!

Susan J.

Yelp

We love the marinated tri tip. You can't go wrong! Perfect for the grill and making French dip sandwiches!

Kara D.

Yelp

I enjoyed my pastrami sandwich and appreciated the vast selection of delicious, flavorful sandwich meats. My family enjoyed their tri-tip and bologna sandwiches, as well. I love that you actually see the smoker going as you roll up. Easy parking. Not the kind of place that seems to take phone orders but the line seemed to move pretty quickly even for our order of 6 sandwiches. Worth checking out if you're in the area!

Matt R.

Yelp

Brentwood Fine Meats is a Mecca for butchery! From marinated tri tips, chicken, steak to a great selection of meat for all occasions, you will find they cannot be beat at BFM. Their garlic bread will make you wanna go home and ask your momma why she never made garlic bread like this masterful delight all your life. One of the things that makes BFM special is their sandwiches especially their hot sammy collection. The hot pastrami, steak and chicken sammies smothered in their secret sauce are always a home run! The price point cannot be beat for gourmet Sammie's that will have you hankering for more. Top off a Sammy with their signature Mac salad and you will not be disappointed. Enjoy eating there and take in the hometown comfort of Brentwood's signature butcher shop and deli.

Meat excellent, if you want beef this is the place. Order for the holidays and there's always a line out the door, everyone working there a pleasant and helpful.

Veronica A.

Yelp

I didn't order food to consume, just came in to grab some steaks and whatever else looked good. The guy at the meat counter wasn't the friendliest. He seemed like he just didn't want to be there. It made me feel a little uncomfy as it seemed that I was bothering him when I would ask him for 2 lbs of this, and 3 lbs of that.

Michelle D.

Yelp

Checked out this spot for the first time this last weekend as my fiance heard they had really good meats/sandwiches. I'll have to agree! I got the tri tip and it was super flavorful and the tri tip was juicy. I definitely favored it over a kinders ball tip sandwich. It is located kinda of in the boonies i think, so it felt like a journey to get over here. But whenever we're in the area I'd def return. I do want to come back to go grab one of their cuts to throw on the grill

Kathy M.

Yelp

We stopped to pick up two sandwiches, and bring it home to eat. When we got home, 40 minutes away, we opened the sandwiches and found that one did not have the tri-tip meat in it. It was just lettuce and tomato - no meat at all. Ok, disappointing but mistakes happen... my husband called to let them know and ask to be refunded and was told no by the manager. They said we could ask for a discount next time we come in... but never took our name or any information so I'm not sure the employee working when we are next in Brentwood will honor that..... And then hung up. Ridiculous customer service and essentially stealing from us by charging us for tri-tip we didn't receive.

Lauren C.

Yelp

We hired Brentwood Fine Meats for our wedding, and would not recommend them for catering, or further supporting their business. We ordered a tray of Mac and Cheese for kids. When all kids were served, adults weren't even allowed to have Mac n Cheese, and the tray mysteriously disappeared, with 90% of the tray left. There was a ton of meat, and people were only allowed to have 1 piece. We had many unhappy, and hungry guests. I would not recommend this business for anything. The father of the bride and mother of the groom were not even given what they asked without attitude.

Chad P.

Yelp

Good value. Hard to find a complaint about the food. As simple as it is to buy horseradish at a market, I'm surprised there out of our party of four had to go without. Metal chairs scraping on cement may hurt sensitive ears. If we are in the neighborhood we will stop in again.

Sean Oliver H.

I swear I'm gonna go broke at this place lol just cooked up a couple of ribeyes and the vineyard tri tip forget about it

Geanr L.

great looking meats & wonderful sandwiches. will revisit for more of their flavored tri tip & st louis stlye ribs.

Emiliano B.

Yelp

We ordered both uncooked beef and pork ribs for a bbq a few weeks ago. Sausages as well. All the portions were great. The meat was good and everything cooked the way it should. We had a lot of friends ask where we got the meat. We will be coming back for more. The family pack looks like a great deal. We will be trying that next for our 2nd order at Brentwood Fine Meats. Great first impression with the butcher shop.

Christina J.

All the food we ordered was great and was at a great price! I used BFM to cater a birthday party and I will use them in the future for upcoming events!

Karen H.

Yelp

Fantastic freshly made sandwiches & burgers! My tri-tip sandwich was delicious and husband's burger was top-notch. They get busy during the lunch time so call your order in - it's worth it!

Joseph C.

Yelp

This place is WAY overrated and overpriced. Mid at best. I also agree with the other reviviews here that their attitudes suck big time.

Camille P.

Yelp

Excellent pastrami! I really enjoyed my sandwich which included the horseradish that went perfectly with the meat. The whole portion is a little small but was delicious. Great service at the counter, they were friendly. The ambiance is clean & bright.

Chris H.

Yelp

You know I have always been impressed with this place! The tri-tips , chicken, cheesy bread and twice baked potatoes! I just tried out their meatloaf last night, AMAZING! You guys rock!

DIKO M.

Yelp

Straight fire!!! You mean to tell me, I have been in the area for over 15 years and this is the first time I came here to try the Tri-Tip!!! OMG! Meat: Tri-Tip Bread: Sweet Roll Condiments: Mayo, BBQ sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Provolone, Pepperoncinis, Extra: BBQ sauce on the side to dip. Just WOW!

Chris P.

Yelp

Good meat, tri tip for BBQing is especially good...the sandwiches have been disappointing on all attempts I've made to get one. The place is good with meat but not with bread. The biggest problem is the customer service. Almost all employees act like your inconveniencing them by being there. Quick answers to questions and even cut you off before finishing your sentence. Seems like they hire local redneck dbags as a standard practice. The meat products speak for themselves, but it's a chore to get them almost every time.

Sandra J.

Yelp

Brentwood's Fine Meats is a great go to for their meats. I order meat trays for my catering needs Would definitely recommend!!

Jesse C.

Yelp

Best hot pastrami I've had this side of the bay. A bit small for a hungry guy but the flavor was superb. I will definitely be going back again.

Chris H.

Yelp

Used to love this place. They do make the best cheese bread, but the meat selections lately have not been that great. The meat quality seems like it's different. Not as good. Not as flavorful a lot of fat. Just not the same kind of meat that they used to have.

Jovan B.

Yelp

Meats are great and so is the peach cobbler but the Cheesy Garlic Bread...... NOTHING MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID!!! Make sure you grab some and try it.

Cheryl G.

Yelp

We love this place. Counter deli and butcher side. Deli lunch: Both of us had the tri-tip sandwich on a soft roll with a side of potato salad. You fill out the paper menu for the specific kind of sandwich and it usually takes 10-15 min to prepare. Meanwhile the butcher side has so many goodies from the counter to the marinated meats. He swears by the garlic bread which was okay to me (because we can make this at home) but we had the marinated chicken - both Kona and garlic this time around. Both very good flavor. Note: just check the dates on the packages. We love this place and will come back frequently as possible.

Thomas C.

Yelp

Food is good but the sandwhich making is so slow.........I keep Coming back but get reminded why I leave.

Rachel M.

Yelp

Holy cow this was delicious!!! It was my first time there. I got a hot pastrami with provolone and grilled onions on a soft roll (i would have preferred a sourdough roll). It was SO memorable. I WILL go back

Javier G.

Yelp

The meat and all the offerings are top notch, the selection is great, even for the sides. The sandwich counter is great also, one negative is the pricing is pretty high, but you get what you pay for. The facilities are clean and neat, staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the trip

Vera L.

Yelp

I do not know why I have never been to the deli here before, but I definitely have been sleeping on this spot. I have been craving a sandwich my entire pregnancy, and I am very limited to what I can eat, as I can not eat cold cuts without them being heated up. I stumbled across BFM and saw they had hot sandwiches that were right up my alley. I ordered the chicken breast sandwich with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo, and mustard, and it was so delicious and fresh! I topped it off with some jalapeno kettle chips, the pasta verde salad, and a Pepsi. It was the perfect meal and cost me less than 20 dollars, which is unheard of during these times. I will definitely be back to satisfy my sandwich cravings because BFM is the spot to come to. I can't wait to try the tri-trip sandwich next!

Robert D.

Yelp

The meat here is ok. But their customer service suck's. Try to ask these guys a question and they look at you funny. What ever happened to customer service skill?

Dennis F.

Yelp

They have good quality barbecue meat already marinated ready to go to barbecue a lot of variety of everything. They also make sandwiches that are amazing. Can't go wrong there that cheese bread is hands-down the best.

Janet J.

Yelp

The tri tip was perfect. They forgot to add my fruit salad to catering order so they drove it out to my party as soon as the error was realized. The food was delicious but the service is what gives it a 5 star rating.

Diana B.

Yelp

Best quality meats in the area. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. I've ordered many specialty items and the quality is always amazing. Their tri tip sandwiches are also very delicious, and the space is always clean.

Esther J.

Yelp

Gave this place a try for the first time. I ordered a tri tip sandwich, but no tri tip whatsoever. How do they forget the main ingredient, meat? I paid for a meat sandwich, not a cheese and veggie sandwich. Unacceptable. My husband got a steak sandwich which was made as ordered but he still prefers Kinders steak sandwiches way better. You pay a little more, but get a bigger, better sandwich. We always get the ribeye steak sandwich from Kinders and they never disappoint. At least they never forgot the steak in the Steak Sandwich. I don't think we have any reason to order sandwiches from here again...

Brett L.

Yelp

Their meats were outstanding and service was great. Go and you will be happy. They even have bones for a happy meal dog.

Kevin K.

Yelp

Service was a little slow even getting there at 1115a for lunch. But the sandwiches were delicious. Stuffed with meat and veggies. Bottled soft drinks. Very few seats to eat in but we got lucky and really enjoyed the experience. Definitely coming back- and next time, I am bringing a cooler so I can hit the meat market too!

Troy F.

Yelp

Great for what it is. Sandwiches are amazing, you can taste the freshness. Also doesn't break the bank. We prefer here over other nearby sandwich shops such as Dinos and sourdough co. Each year we buy our meat here for Christmas Eve dinner. We like the vineyard marinate.

Sarry A.

Yelp

Good prices and good quality. Not amazing but solid good place to purchase your meat instead of from the grocery. Great marinade offers.

Toni G.

Yelp

They catered our family event. EVERYTHING was delicious. Generous quantities. We chose the trip-tip, chicken, beans, Caesar salad, cheesy bread and added Mac and cheese. Crowd pleasers, all of it.

Amy W.

Yelp

I don't really understand all the hype on Yelp (the positive OR the negative). This place popped up with a high rating and we needed lunch on the way to go boating in the Delta. It started out promisingly enough - with a couple of "smokers" converted barrels really smoking away in the parking lot. I thought I was going to get the pastrami - but it turns out they do NOT smoke it in house (shame). The big hype is around their tri tip. I love a steak sandwich - but tri-tip - no matter how many times I try it - just is never my jam. My husband got the tri-tip sandwich. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. We both had the same bread choice, mine was grilled and better than his, but I would not go out of my way again for a sandwich here. Good news is that they sell my favorite Pepper Plant Sauce.

Joy E.

Yelp

I came here looking for a prime steak and was condescendingly lectured about why prime wasn't worth it. A simple "no" would have sufficed, but hey.. Never went back.

Patanisha D.

Yelp

Great service with an old school hometown feel. There are a variety of marinades to try. We like to purchase the tritip

Nicole R.

Yelp

This is our third year getting our Turkey from Brentwood Fine Meats for Thanksgiving but my first time reviewing. We have been absolutely delighted every year with the quality and flavor of our turkeys. We got the Willie Bird turkey and we will never get another kind. They are super fresh, organic, free range and such great quality. The store itself has a great selection of of high quality fine meats and other delicious items. My husband and I especially love their garlic bread. The service is always great and the staff is friendly and helpful. We will continue to get our turkeys there every year and continue to use them for our various meat and sandwich needs.

Sandee L.

Yelp

Finally had a chance to try Brentwood fine meats via catering! What a local gem! Our hostess went all out and we had practically everything on the menu. My favorites were the juicy, flavorful tri tip, mashed potatoes, and the garlic cheesy bread. I don't even want to guess how many calories are in each piece of that cheesy bread. I would have inhaled half the loaf if no one was looking. From what I heard, BFM was also able to pull off this order in a short amount of time after the original outdoor venue cancelled last minute due to the extended (and second round) shelter in place order. I'm sad I've lived in the area almost six years and have only tried them now. I'll have to make up for lost time and try some of their lunch menu items and pick up some meat for backyard BBQ! I've also heard amazing things about their pot pies. OMG, that cheese by bread tho...don't forget that one's a must!
