Butcher Block

Walking right in, I felt incredibly welcomed by the friendly staff and I was taken care of right away. The service was great and they were attentive. The food was really good, they had the portebello Swiss for soup and it had exceeded all of my expectations. Quite frankly I could have gotten my fill from the soup alone! The atmosphere was nice and the place was bumping for sure. The dessert menu was simply the cherry on top and the toll house pie was recommend by the wonderful and amazing hostess, it was phenomenally chocolatey and is prime delicacy to end a meal. I must add that the fries were light, crispy and airy as well. Overall, I genuinely would come here to eat again. Thank you Butcher Block for a nice lunch.

This is a nice sports bar with a great atmosphere for drinking and watching games. But when it comes to the food, it’s really a shame. The fried calamari had thick batter and tiny pieces of squid — so small I felt like I was mostly eating fried dough. The shrimp scampi had good shrimp, but there wasn’t enough sauce for the fettuccine to properly soak it up, and the flavor was lacking, which made the dish quite bland. The Burgundy beef tips had an interesting sauce, but the meat was too chewy. Overall, the food wasn’t very satisfying.

Hubby and I came for dinner tonight as a birthday treat. We have never been but have been meaning to give it a try (new to the general area). We ordered fried calamari with the sauce on the side, shrimp cocktail, and crab cakes for apps. Hubby loved the crab cakes. The flavor was good for me but too wet for my tastes. Calamari was great as was the shrimp cocktail. He ordered the stuffed haddock and I the porterhouse. Steak was cooked to a perfect medium throughout. It did need a good bit of salt as the flavor was pretty ho-hum but otherwise spot on. The stuffed haddock was middling. Our server, Daniel, was excellent. He was attentive and proactive. Overall, very pleasant experience and we will definitely be back when we come through again.

This was my first visit to the Butcher Block. I got the special, honey BBQ Christy chicken sandwich. This came with salad and soup bar. Salad bar was nice, soup was outstanding (we had to grab a pint to go)! The crispy chicken was above standard, and huge!! My lunch companion also got a turkey sandwich that was also huge. Staff was attentive. Overall I do recommend the Butcher Block.

Great service that was friendly and attentive at the right times. Burgers were excellent and cooked perfectly. I got the surf and turf burger which I would definitely get again with the chunks of lobster and Boursin sauce. Yeah it was messy, but so delicious. The French fries were fantastic. The soup, salad, bread bar is an enjoyable add on or if you’re inclined you can get it as a stand alone meal. I love the ambiance here and multiple seating options. They are closed on Sundays.

You can tell the owner takes pride in the quality of food and service provided and the chef/cooks take pride in their work. Highly recommended the loaded with bacon 🥓 potato skins and surf n turf burger! 🍔

Had a great happy hour here. It really is one of the best in NY. The appetizers are delicious and you can get local brews.

Had the salad bar originally, then added the French Onion Soup due to the fact the soup flavor of the day was Spinach Artichoke soup (dip!). Wasn't really the soup consistency I was expecting. Very thick. Unfortunately the Fench Onion soup got worse!? Very salty, unable to eat, had to send back. Salad bar had several options of fresh veggies, cheese, and proteins, ham and chicken, a few prepared deli salads and bread. Saving grace, great staff. I felt the waitress was sympathetic and apologized and removed the soup from my bill. Will definitely try again, I'll just skip the salad bar and soup.

As I was by myself, I chose to sit at the bar at lunchtime. A bartender was friendly and attentive, and gave a great service. It turned out to be some kind of happy hour lunchtime so it was buy one beer get one beer free. The burger and fries I ordered were prepared perfectly and delicious. The salad bar, although kind of small was very good as well and the turkey soup was delicious. In case I forgot to mention, or you didn't know, the soup and salad bar is included in the price of the meal. Overall, I would say this was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

It's a big, nice place with a great atmosphere and a salad bar. The food and drinks were both really good, and there were plenty of drink options to choose from. However, the service was on the slower side. It was very crowded, and we were seated in a corner, which made it hard to get a server's attention. We only got one round of drinks, and even after asking, it took a while for refills. We actually got our food before our first round of drinks arrived. Still, the food quality and overall vibe made it an enjoyable experience.

Stopped at Butcher Block after finding out our plane out of the airport was delayed a couple hours. Ate at the bar area as the line was already out the door for tables. It was happy hour and the specials must have been good as the place was packed, loud, and there was a constant stream of wait staff going through. The soup and salad bar is excellent - I highly recommend it. Beers 2 for 1 during happy hour. Great service, hope to be back real soon.

Hess Chardonnay tasted watered down. Fillet tasted old with no grilled flavor and a pat of unmelted butter on top. Lettuce from the salad bar was brown around edges. Waiter was gruff and rude. This was the worst dining experience I have had in Plattsburgh. I won't go back.

Definitely not my favorite food spot. I wanted to love it unfortunately I feel it is overpriced for the quality of food you get. I got a steak and I'm sad to say that Chipotle has better steak. The salad bar is very nice. I did quite enjoy that. The interior of the restaurant is also nice. I just feel that it's rather overrated.

Hey y'all. Not a current local in P'burgh, but had a family gathering there for a few days. We took over the bar and most of the seats surrounding it. Everyone was accommodating. The service was excellent even with all the quick pick tickets rolling through. My wife and I miss it throughly. The hospitality and local kindness was amazing and the food didn't disappoint. P'burgh is not a usual destination trip, so if you find yourself there, check this place out. You will leave happy.

By far one of the best restaurants in Plattsburgh! We've been to Butcher Block many times and we always have the unlimited delicious soup and salad with our entrees. We were seated immediately on a busy Friday night. The staff is very friendly and kind. Our waiter, Jay did an outstanding job. There was a very rowdy crowd from Canada and Jay was able to make it a more enjoyable dining experience by asking them to lower their voices professionally. The food is very good, and the bread and butter amazing! We ordered the Butcher Burgers and it was perfect! We always love coming here - perfect for families and date nights. Highly recommend this family owned and operated business.

I've been here before, for happy hour and appetizers and flatbreads and it was enjoyable. Based on that, I brought an out of town friend for dinner. What a disappointment. I had the spinach and artichoke ravioli which is a casserole dish filled with a soupy sauce that had chunks of artichoke and two pieces of spinach smothering basic storebought ravioli. Not At all as described, and ridiculously priced at 24.99. My friend had the stuffed haddock for 34.99. The fish had been frozen and the ground up not fresh crabmeat was plopped on top. Again, a ridiculous price for such poorly prepared food. The salad bar that comes with the meal was very messy with food spills everywhere making it look like a starving hoard had just gone through. This was one of those experiences where you leave saying I could have made that better at home. We left half our meal untouched.

4 of us went for the early bird specials. Two had prime rib and two had stuffed haddock. The portions were huge and coupled with soup and salad bar were well worth the visit. Definitely the next time I'm in the area this will be a stop!

So far our favorite since moving to the area. The salad bar was great and kept up well. The food was excellent. We debated getting the ribs as sauce can make or break by individual taste preferences so decided to try another dish. I had a steak and it was perfectly cooked and flavored. The wait team was funny and so great they even brought us a small sample of the rib sauce we could try for next time. Our booth was cute and pretty private. Loved the ambiance. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to love this place, but the bad just outweighs the good for how much it costs. Ok so the good: the smoked turkey Mac and cheese was decent. Portion size is massive, and there is plenty of turkey in it. I love the ambiance of the place. It has a great country feel to it and was very clean. The not so good: potato skins were burnt, one crab cake was cold, the rice was dry and flavorless, the green beans were raw and cold. The bad: the prime rib was cold, there was so much au jus on it the waiter spilled it from the plate trying to put it down. The prime rib itself was tough and tasted of nothing but salt. The worst part: the service. Now this, I know is just my waiter. Everyone else I saw seemed to check in on their tables, and the people who brought us food and cleaned dishes were great. My waiter was none of those things. He never came by, we asked for something we waited while he walked around looking lost. So if you get the waiter with the mullet run.

My steak was the best one I've ever had! Great experience and I love the salad bar. My steak was lean and perfectly cooked. It was larger than expected although I don't recall any size being specified. Restaurant gets really busy so you may want to go early.

My sons went on there limited time lunch break today and my younger son ordered a burger medium done and was served a completely raw burger and then had to get back to work and was too polite to complain but I'm doing it now ! This place is terrible!!! No more chances

i wouldn't get the salad bar as it's handled in an unsanitary way but the food is great. you can sit in the bar area and play lotto games if you're into that.

This place was an absolutely amazing experience with amazing portions and a full salad bar you get what you pay for and more the staff are so friendly and I highly recommend coming here whenever you're in the area.

Best Happy Hour in town. 2-1 drafts, wine and well. Clams, mussels, wings and pizza. Gets busy, but well worth it. Nice crowd also.

Nice folks, good soup from the salad bar. Ate there twice with vegetable and a cream soup (can't remember). The first time I did the soup and salad- very reasonable. The second did the prime rib... Cooked well and delicious.

Wow it was me, my mother and my wife and the Butchers Block was amazing. They had an unlimited salad bar that was amazing and amazing food. The waiter and waitress were very nice and fast. I would definitely suggest this place to anyone who likes a log cabin type place with a southern look to it. I'm definitely coming back soon!

Food was fantastic! We were seated in a nice quiet booth. It took our server 20 minutes to bring our check but that wouldn't stop us from going back. And the salad bar is phenomenal. If you haven't gone then you need to.

Enjoyed a very nice Happy Hour Dinner Special on a Wednesday late-afternoon with the sweetness. The place was hopping, filled with laughter and the wait staff were attentive and quick to satisfy all of our questions, while the kitchen did a great job keeping up with the crush. A great restaurant experience on a rainy week.

The food at the Butcher Block is very good. Not the best I've ever had, but not the worst either. Skip the dessert, make your own at home. The salad bar included cold plates which was a nice surprise. I got the clams for an appetizer and wasn't too fond of it. Kind of tasted like seawater. Dinner: No one had any complaints with their meals. Each came with generous portions. Even the petite options were more than enough! Someone in my party got Crab legs and they were cracked ahead of time. Dessert: I would skip the dessert if you come here. The carrot cake was made with buttercream icing and not the traditional cream cheese frosting. The cheesecake was disgusting!!! Weirdest texture and flavor ever. Overall a good meal, but wouldn't rush to go back tomorrow, maybe in a little while.

I'm confused... got there for a late lunch on a busy day, about 2:30. Was told all that was available was the soup and salad bar, couldn't order from the menu. Since I was starving and there was no option close -by, I settled. The next person who came in got a menu and ordered a burger, and another group got the tavern menu. Server said they switched to the dinner menu and didn't take orders for a little while. I said the hostess could have explained that. The reply? "Oh well , she's new". Clearly communicating their business hours should be basic. The website says this: Lunch: 11:15 am - 2:30 pm Dinner: 11:15 am - 8:30 pm It does NOT say you cannot get food at certain times!

We came here with mixed emotions after reading the different reviews on line. we came here from Copenhagen, I can highly recommend coming to this restaurant. the salad bar was fresh and has lots of variety, it also included a corn chowder soup which was great. the servers were attentive, food service was fast, the food was hot and plentiful. Can't say enough about this place. would come back next time I'm in Plattsburgh.

Poor management! This one star has nothing to do with the food or staff, great food and amazing happy hour. I was sitting at the bar on 9/11/24 and some old man came out and started cussing out the bartender in front of the entire bar, making her cry and run off to the bathroom. Customers and employees were left in disbelief. It resulted in many employees coming to the bar and consoling the bartender and it was obvious everyone had distain for the manager or whatever he was. A a$$hole is what he was. Very unprofessional on his part, he should not be in charge of anything.

Great service, our waiter team was very attentive and helpful. We ordered prime rib. It was a bit over cooked and not super appealing to the eyes. It was tender and flavorful. Long line at the salad bar. The place is a little aged but clean. Overall we enjoyed our meal

It's a shame that a place with such great ambience has such mediocre food. Straight from the frozen food truck. Salad bar is very basic and hasn't changed in 50 years. Soups ok, nothing special. I ordered a roast beef dip - beef well done served on a hot dog roll with a small cup of bouillon. Other party had a BLT- plain white bread, tasteless skinny tomato, reheated cheap bacon. If they spent a few bucks more on quality ingredients rather than the bottom line, they'd be better off.

Haven't been to the Block since pre-COVID and unfortunately the wait wasn't worth it. To be fair, they still have one of the best salad bars I've ever seen, with many many choices for extras. Plus great breads and always a good soup. For that, they get 5 stars. However, I ordered a Buffalo Chicken wrap, something I used to order back in the day and loved. What a disappointment this was today! Instead of crispy, seasoned chicken sliced in the wrap, this was chunks of chicken(?) swimming in a runny hot sauce. Terrible! I expect this low quality of a sandwich from a highway diner, not an upscale restaurant - especially for $18! (including the salad bar, which was why the overall rating wasn't 1 star). I used to love "The Block" for the lunch special but I sure didn't all back in love with it today.

Great service Great food. Great salad bar. Beware of the dessert. If you're dining alone, you won't finish it.

My daughter and I came to the restaurant on 10/26/2023 between 4 and 5:30 PM for the early bird special. My daughter got the 10 oz prime rib with French fries and I got the crabmeat stuffed flounder with almonds, perfectly cooked green bean and for the starch I chose wild rice. The prime rib was cooked exactly as ordered and appeared larger than 10 ounces, and it tasted delicious. The seafood dish was better than I have had in a long time. Our dinners were $22 each and they came with the unlimited salad, soup and bread bar. The salad bar was fresh and delicious, the raisin bread was a treat, and the potato chowder was perfect. The host was fast and brought us to a nice comfortable booth. Our table was handled by two people Lindsey and Jay. Both servers are hospitality professionals and they made a dynamic team. They knew the menu, are upbeat, their timing was spot on, and they refilled the sodas ($3.50) endlessly.

we made a reservation a few days before because it was New Year's Eve. when we arrived they did not have the reservation and told us it would be a 30-60 minute wait. we went to the bar and the hostess said she'd come get us when a table was ready. after 45 minutes same could see empty tables so my husband went to ask and they said they already seated our party. OBVIOUSLY not. we were seated immediately and then waited 20 minutes before we asked for wait staff. The Ladies room was dirty/messy. The salad bar had no plates available. Then 20 minutes later our meals came but never our appetizer we ordered. Food was delicious. Service was horrible. Yes it was New years eve but they were unprepared and the hostess was unable to do her job properly.

Awesome rustic atmosphere! Personable staff and great quality food. The salad bar is a meal in itself so I'm glad I just got the half rack of ribs. Highly recommend

First time here, would highly recommend it. Food was great, service was great. Atmosphere has the feel of a rustic hunting log cabin. Food is home made. If you want something different than the norm, this is the place to go. Well worth the money you spend.

Porterhouse steak was nothing but fat, price's are extremely expensive for what you get.

Cold bland food and rude staff. All very overpriced. The restaurant was very cramped and loud as well. Not a great experience.

Warm atmosphere, good service and the food was plentiful and filling. A soup, salad and bread bar is included with entrees. Decor is rustic with cozy booths. There is a bar seating area as well. Great place with reasonable pricing. Recommended.

My husband and I tried this restaurant, and the food was very overpriced for what it is. $14 for a burger meal. I asked for it to be cooked medium-well and received rare on the inside, burnt on the outside. The fries were cold with a texture like rubber sticks with no salt.

Look no further!!! You've found the right place, you can't go wrong here I promise!!!

Food is good. I like the salad bar. It isn't a foodie place but decent. I do not recommend the escargots. Service is very good.

Was not expecting what was inside! Beautiful interior. Very glad we stopped here for lunch. Burgers were huge and delicious! Nice staff. Soup and salad bar with meal. Very large spread. Bread was hard as a rock, I wish they had single serve rolls instead of cut it your self loaves.

Well I can say very overpriced food was what was food was fair but best of all I ordered the steamed clams they served dead clams. never ever again will I go there

We came here for dinner. The total cost of the dinner was $64. i had a pumpkin ale which i enjoyed. For dinner I had the lobster mac & cheese. They did an excellent job preparing this dish. In addition, the seafood bisque soup was delicious. My wife had the chicken sandwich and she said it was delicious. The customer service was excellent and the place was clean. I do recommend butcher block for dinner.

Food price / quality rating 8.5. Atmosphere is like a barn reproduction. I had prime rib, which was as good as prime rib can be, and the wife had a salad and soup (chicken jalapeno and corn chowder) that was very different and delicious. Service was very good, and the prices were reasonable.

This restaurant is not recommended. To start the water glasses were all dirty and food has no flavor. For the price of the plates it would be better off to go out to fast food. The service is subpar and no drink menu was offered.

My daughter, wife and I were very pleased with the food and service here at The Butcher Block. This restaurant is the sister restaurant of Lake George's The Log Jam which we have frequented many times. We thought that this food and menu we're much better with similar items as well as items not found on the Jammer menu. (A huge plus) super friendly service! Prime rib salad bar and a to die for burger is what we had. Thanks for a great evening!

Great food great service, angry atmosphere. This is our regular spot for several years now never a single issue.

The staff was very good but the hostess was a bit overwhelmed. The salad and soup bar is well worth the price of admission. The steaks were good as were the sides. Although I must say it was the oddest preparation of asparahras ever. A but pricey. But overall I would still recommend it

My mom and I went here for lunch today and sadly we probably won't be back. I had ordered the steamed clams for us to share but our waitress I guess must of misheard me and we got two orders of them. Our waitress Kelly did not seem very happy to be serving us but the two women behind us had exemplary service from her. We couldn't even finish all of our clams as they were very tough and chewy. We both ordered the French dip sandwich but were surprised that it had no cheese or anything but the meat and aus jus. They also serve chips instead of fries which was disappointing to say the least. We felt ignored the entire time and like they couldn't wait to get us out. I don't know if Covid caused them to go down hill but they are not what they used to be.

Not impressed. Over priced, over rated food. Lackluster staff. The salad bar was disgusting and that was during the pandemic. It was a birthday lunch for me given by my mom, aunt's and cousins. I will not go back.
