Butcher's Union

recently had the pleasure of dining at Butcher's Union in Grand Rapids, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The staff here truly go above and beyond—they’re incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, especially when it comes to managing food allergies. It's refreshing to see a restaurant that takes such care with their guests' needs. The atmosphere is equally impressive, with a cool and inviting vibe that makes you want to linger. While it does get a little loud and busy during peak times, it still feels like the perfect place to enjoy a great meal and carry on a conversation with friends or family. As for the food, it’s absolutely top-notch. The menu features unique dishes at a fantastic price point, making it a spot you’ll want to return to often. Their beer selection is vast, constantly changing, and always worth exploring. Drinks are just as impressive—whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or prefer something more classic, they’ve got you covered. My personal favorites? The pappardelle is a standout dish with rich, satisfying flavors, and the burger is nothing short of perfection. If you're in Grand Rapids and looking for a spot that combines excellent food, a great vibe, and an outstanding staff, Butcher's Union should be at the top of your list

We went for dinner on a Thursday around 5 pm. Most of the options on the menu are a bit beyond our everyday restaurant budget, but there are some happy hour specials that offer more affordable options. Service was on point--courteous and fast, and our burgers were tasty. We appreciated the upscale, urban appearance of the dining area, but it's loud and this made it hard to relax. You can hear loud people around you but have trouble hearing the person right next to you.

Brunch on a Sunday was delicious. It turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. I had the Crab Eggs Benedict. My husband had the hash. Both were great! Service was excellent!

What a great experience overall. Restaurant vibes were lovely, service was excellent and the food and drinks were delicious 👌 we sat at the bar for quick service and our bartender Rocky was awesome. She made great recommendations and the drinks she mixed were delicious. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu

While the place might be a little cramped the food and drinks are worth it, even just the smells are worth it! Service was great and the food was absolutely delicious! There's something about that maple-chili glaze on the Crispy Brussel Sprouts, chef's kiss!!!

The food here is phenomenal. We ordered the wagyu steak, meat loaf and whipped feta. The wagyu steak was pricey but definitely worth it's price. It came with baked(I think) and browned cauliflower and potatoes. The steak was melt in your mouth amazing and the sides complimented it well. The meatloaf sat on a nice amount of mashed potatoes and gravy. There wasn't any ketchup like most meatloaves have on them but the flavor does not miss 👌 I highly recommend this place for nice evening out or date night.

Had burgers here in August & they tasted great & were perfectly cooked. There are no words to use to describe how delicious that peppercorn bacon app is!! Just get it!! Service was great. Came last week for brunch. Started with that Peppercorn Bacon <3 Had the Monte Cristo w/ potatoes & the Cheddar Strata. Both were amazing & HUGE portions. The potatoes were crispy perfection. Mimosas were very good. Both times I visited I was there right when they opened so I had no issues with wait times. I had been forewarned by others that the place fills up quickly. They do take reservations now up to 4 weeks in advance so that's a plus. I will say our brunch server was not bad, he just acted like he wanted us to leave within 45 minutes - (place was not full so it wan't like they needed the table) It was a weird vibe. We ordered an app, we ordered main dishes, we each had 2 drinks. But he kept wanting to box up our food & finally just brought boxes & set them on the table. We told him we didn't need anything else just yet but that we were going to order another drink when we finished the ones we had. (they were still half full) He walked away then came right back & put the bill on the table..........Then stood & stared at us from about 2 feet away. So, we hurried up & finished our drinks & I paid the bill. I left him a $20 tip on an $80 check & we left & went to Blue Dog Tavern for that other drink. Not taking any stars off but owners/managers should address that with staff (or post you have to eat & leave within a certain timeframe) Lucy's has that on their website that you only get 90 minutes for brunch & that is why we did not go there.

Butcher’s Union is our go-to restaurant in Grand Rapids to celebrate a big life event. You always feel taken care of by the staff and then the food is incredible. We had crispy Brussel sprouts that had a great pop of flavor with the maple glaze. We each had a steak, a NY Strip and a Sirloin. Each were very tender and cooked to our desired temperature. The sauce and potatoes on each were crispy and fluffy and the flavors came together to create a perfect dish. Really can’t recommend this place enough. I’d also say they take reservations now and that is incredibly helpful.

Love this place! Our table indulges in several entrees: meatloaf; salmon; salmon salad; and scallops. All the entrees were presented with attention to detail - they looked delicious and they were delicious. We ordered the Old Fashioned but request Elijah Craig Rye to give the cocktail a little more spice. Our server was courteous and attentive. She did a great job! Should I make it back to Grand Rapids this will be a repeat stop.

Awesome experience! I'd wanted to come here for some time. Drinks were strong. Steaks cooked perfect. The half off my entree because of my birthday was the cherry on top. Will be back for sure.

Service: waitress was good and attentive. Checked in with us a few times and made sure we were all set with our drinks and food. Food: I got the best smoked OLD FASHIONED. Been about a year since I came back so definitely was a nice treat. For dinner, I ordered the chicken with gnocchi and mushrooms. The sauce was so flavorful but I wished it had a little bit of heat. My friends ordered a burger and Brussels sprouts. This is one of my stable, go to restaurants in GR. Ambiance: always busy!!! I don't think I've been here when it was NOT packed. Good to see that they are still doing well. Since it's one of the best in GR, it tends to be a little nosy with the full house. But it's totally worth it!

Chocolate Mousse Cake (5/5): By far my favorite part of the meal. The mousse was thick and rich, the brownie crust was delicious, and the hazelnut praline crumble added a great texture. Very good dessert! Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich (4/5): The chicken was a bit small, but was pretty well fried and decently juicy. I really liked the candied jalapenos which added a nice sweetness. Overall this was pretty good, but definitely didn't wow me. Fries (4/5): Decent fries, but not as crispy or as potato-y as I like. The sauces weren't my favorite either. Hard to mess up fries though, so I still enjoyed this dish overall. West Village Double Cheeseburger (3/5): The patties were really good--juicy, flavorful, and meaty--but the rest of the burger was lacking. The bun was too soft and became soggy very quickly; the creamy aioli was a little overpowering with garlic flavor; and the caramelized onions didn't really come through. Crispy Brussel Sprouts (3/5): A little light on flavor and definitely not enough bacon. The brussel sprouts themselves didn't get crispy at all and the insides were a little too soft/mushy. Good portion size though. Smoked Ribeye Sandwich (2/5): From the bun to the shaved ribeye, everything was just way too soft. Not at all what I was hoping for texturally. The meat flavor didn't really come through either, and I definitely couldn't taste the smoke. *Very large bourbon selection and The Squirming Coil Old Fashioned was pretty good. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

Another 5 star experience at Butcher's Union we can in on Sunday 11/17/24 for a 10:30 reservation. Maybe a reservation wasn't required, but after getting up early on a Sunday and driving 45 minutes, I didn't want to risk waiting for a table. There were 4 of us for brunch and we sat in the atrium area. It was quieter than the primary dining room and we really liked the bright open feel of the space. We got there about 5 mins before our friends and we were sat even without them, which I thought was nice. Our server was Gray and she was wonderful! She was at our table quickly and so friendly! I ordered a $7 Bloody Mary and he ordered a pomegranate mimosa. When our friends joined us they ordered a grapefruit mimosa and morning vitamins. We were all very happy with our drinks. We ordered the slab bacon and the deviled eggs as an appetizer. The slab bacon was good - but it's not my favorite thing. I don't care for thick cut bacon. The flavor was delicious. The deviled eggs were small - but good things come in small packages. They were incredible. My Mr said he would "eat a pallet of the slab bacon and deviled eggs". For our entrees we had a lot of discussion! Between us we had: Crab Benedict (loved!), Monte Cristo Fried Chicken (also loved), Wagyu Steak and Eggs (SO loved) and the Huevos Rancheros - this was my entree and I was torn between so many things, when I asked Gray what she recommended - she said Huevos Rancheros, hands down. I requested my eggs over easy vs sunny side up and the kitchen was very accommodating. The flavor was smokey and little spicy, lots of fresh avocado and the tortillas were crisp and the perfect contrast to the soft avocado, black beans and eggs. It was the best version of Huevos Rancheros I've had. A couple of us had espresso martinis and they were so smooth and tasty. We ordered a Chocolate Mousse Cake to go and it was over the top! Light and rich, the crust with the hazelnuts made it even better. Butcher's Union has QUICKLY become a favorite. We have to come back soon because I want the Blueberry Pancakes and Corned Beef Hash!

Love Butcher's Union! We have been here twice and I can't wait to go again. Both visits were during lunch time on a Saturday and we were lucky enough to be seated right away without a reservation. Once at the bar and once at a regular table. Both were great and had attentive and friendly staff. Server and bartenders were quick to offer drinks and take our orders. The vibe is perfect- I love the decor, the bar, flooring and even the bathrooms. Honesty we could have sat here for hours just hanging out. The food is pretty great too! We tried the feta dip, ceasar salad, chicken sandwich, and meatballs. All amazing. Can we also talk about the French fries? The best!

Brought family here for the first time for all of us. It was highly recommended by several people and we quickly found our way. Laid back ambience with an upscale feel. Staff was so friendly, attentive and had great suggestions. The menu has options from burgers to amazing steaks, definitely something for everyone. We all loved our dishes, especially the steaks! We will definitely be back very soon.

We had visitors in town who are foodies like us so we made a reservation a couple weeks out. What a fantastic experience it was crowded and a tad loud on a Friday but we were seated promptly just outside the high top bar area. The service was fantastic and the waitress (wish I remembered her name) had great recommendations on drinks and food. I had the 14oz ribeye and it was cooked perfectly medium and had a great sear and it was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor. This is on our short list of restaurants to take guests for a fine dining experience. Almost forgot the decor and lighting make it feel very intimate and cozy even with the large space.

Butchers union never disappoints. Brunch and dinner items are consistently so delicious! I'd recommend making a reservation as they get quite busy, reasonably. Brunch- the egg quiche was so good! A good amount of inclusions but not so many you feel you get no egg. Side salad is basic but good. Smoked salmon Benedict we would order a million times. Breakfast potatoes prob would not order again. They're fine but boring. I'd choose a different side. The bacon is great if you love thick cut. It has a decent amount of both meat and fat. Deviled eggs also a must! Perfectly creamy and full of flavor. Dinner- we ordered the salmon ceviche, burrata which both were delicious. The ceviche had apple which was a surprising crunch. I wish I could remember both entrees, but I only remember that my husband ordered a steak which was cooked as requested. I didn't try but he had only positive comments. For dessert we got the chocolate mousse. At that point so stuffed so the portion size was perfect for us.

Amazing food and service. Will be back every time i come to Grand Rapids!! The pork shoulder and arancini blew my mind.

So good! Was visiting Grand Rapids for a weekend hockey tournament and found this place on TikTok. So glad we decided to try it out. Steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Cocktails were fresh and tasty. Service was attentive and friendly. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and for the quality of food reasonably priced. Definitely would return if I'm back in the area.

It's been 8 months and I can't stop thinking about the tuna crudo! Visited this past April after stopping in Grand Rapids. We were lucky enough to make a reservation as soon as they opened, otherwise, there was a 2 hour wait. Once you have the food and drinks, it's pretty evident why this place is so popular. An extensive whiskey menu, a long bar, a number of seasonal appetizers/starters and so many amazing steak options to choose from. For appetizers we went with the tuna crudo after our waitress let us know the beef tartare was sold out. The tuna was cut very thin and dressed with a vinaigrette and quinoa. It was fresh and light. When I tell you, my boyfriend does not like seafood, he absolutely loved this tuna and continues to speak of it to this day. For the entrees we eat ordered a different cut of steak, medium rare of course, and didn't leave a single crumb behind. If you're looking for a restaurant with a great menu, delicious food, classy yet fun vibe with a lively atmosphere, look no further!

Sat at the bar, got fantastic service from the bartender and a great recommendation to have the milk braised pork shoulder. Was fantastic!

Oh baby. Every time I've been to Butchers Union, it's been a fantastic, memorable meal, and this one was no different ‍ Apps We had their barbecue pork belly and shrimp & burrata. These were both DECADENT. The strawberries on the pork belly made this feel like something I'd never had before. (I'm obsessed). Entrees I had the scallops and risotto and I am still drooling over it. The scallops were like butter, and the risotto was so flavorful (and filling ). Would recommend to any scallop lover. Derek had a hanger steak, and our dinner guests had steaks as well- as always, Butchers Union always does their steaks right If you're looking for a good cut of meat cooked perfectly, this is your place to go. Not pictured: countless cocktails and glasses of wine PS I'm an amateur and did not bring my little food light- don't mind the weird yellow hues + my attempts to edit it out

First time eating here and first impression was really positive. We were there on a Saturday at about 1ish and they had steady traffic but weren't super busy. Nice ambiance with the option of outdoor seating. The service was good and the food was good. Portion size may have been on the smaller side, but I think I've been conditioned by the super sized portions we're used to. My wife and I both ordered the steak and eggs. I got my eggs over easy and they were done perfectly. The steak was tender and flavorful. I'd like to go back sometime to try their dinner menu.

I went to Butcher's Union to celebrate a birthday, and it was a great choice for a classic steak dinner. I made a reservation since we were a larger party, but it seemed like there were plenty of open tables on a Sunday. I've tried walking in on a Friday night, and it's usually about a 2-hour wait, so planning ahead is definitely recommended. The interior of the restaurant is cool and modern, with tiled floors and lots of wood accents. The menu features many elements of a classic steakhouse with a few modern twists. They offer some non-alcoholic drink options and have a huge whiskey menu. For food, we ordered pasta, the spicy chicken sandwich, the tenderloin, and a steak. We also shared a couple of scallops and Brussels sprouts. Each entrée was good, though the tenderloin was noted to be slightly less tender than the steak. At the end of dinner, we decided to try all the desserts, and they were truly the highlight for me. The cobbler was absolutely delicious, and the chocolate cake was a standout. The service was excellent--our server answered all of our questions and was quick to address any needs. Overall, this is a solid place, but since I'm not much of a steak person, it wasn't the perfect fit for me.

Very nice gastropub kind of restaurant in Grand Rapids offering high quality meat-centric foods in an elevated setting. Wagyu Sirloin from Snake River Farms ($30.75) - While the steak was generally pretty good, I do have a few points for improvement. First off, I had asked for it to be cooked medium, but it was more like medium-well. As a result, the steak was a bit tougher than I would've hoped for, especially given it was wagyu sirloin. The red wine reduction was pretty good with a rather light flavor, allowing for the steak to sort of speak for itself. The crispy onion flakes were a nice addition to the plate, as were the green beans. The potato gratin was good, but I think it could've been improved with a bit more crispiness to the potatoes. Ricotta Agnolotti ($24.25) - This was delicious. The agnolottti pasta is kind of like a ravioli cut in half and stuffed with ricotta cheese. The asparagus helped the dish feel light and healthy. The guanciale (bits of salt-cured meat) also helped to complete the dish. The pasta was topped with garlic breadcrumbs and pecorino cheese, thereby finishing off this yummy dish. Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp ($10.50) - A crowd favorite, this is like a perfect dessert, with the fresh strawberries and rhubarb to go with the almond streusel bits for some tasty crunchiness, topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was definitely on the sweet side, but that was partly just because of the strawberries. We also got a mocktail for only $4. They can customize them however you'd like, and we asked for a "sweet and fruity" one, which was exactly that - a tasty and good value drink. The restaurant itself has a really nice environment that is both casual and somewhat classy. There is a pretty big bar area, along with plenty of other table seating. The indoor area is decorated with a dark colored theme, making it feel warm and cozy. It is lively but still a comfortable volume for normal conversation. In addition to the indoor area, there is also a very nice semi-outdoor patio area in the back, which has walls around it but is open on the top. This place seems to be one of the most popular restaurants in town and we had to wait for about an hour for a weekend lunch after putting our names down on the waitlist. Once we sat down, the service speed was pretty quick though. And our waitress was friendly with just the right amount of attentiveness. Overall, while I did have a couple minor points for improvement on the steak (which was still good), the food here as a whole was delicious. Plus, with the nice environment and good service, Butcher's Union is certainly a great option for a nice lunch or dinner in Grand Rapids.

By far one of my favorite places to get a great cut of meat and a tasty cocktail. They have a great selection of whiskey and bourbon options and they make a mean old fashioned. Plus if you come on your birthday you get 50% off your entree. The restaurant is always clean and they offer great indoor and outdoor seating. All of the staff was very kind and our waitress did an excellent job of helping us decide on our drink and food options. I had the ribeye for my meal and it was delicious and perfectly done!

Awesome food, great ambiance, exemplary service! Would highly recommend Butcher's Union if you're in Grand Rapids!

This place is one of the busiest restaurants in downtown Grand Rapids for a reason. The two times I have been there the food was fantastic!! The New York strip was well prepared and tasted great for a very affordable price but the meal that really impressed me was the burger. The burger and fries make my mouth water just thinking about it, big and juicy and full of so much flavor, I can't remember being so impressed by a burger. Great food and great location, a must hit in Grand Rapids.

First time at the Butcher's Union in Grand Rapids, MI, where they served up an unforgettable dining experience, especially when it comes to their New York strip steak and Old Fashioned cocktail. The steak is perfection on a plate--tender, juicy, and grilled to a perfect char, while the flavor is rich, with just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the natural taste of the meat. It's cooked exactly to order and paired beautifully on a potato bed. Complementing the steak is their expertly crafted Old Fashioned. The balance between the smooth bourbon, bitters, and a hint of sweetness is spot on, making it the ideal classic cocktail to enjoy with your meal. The atmosphere at The Butcher's Union is lively yet cozy, with attentive service that enhances the overall experience. If you're in Grand Rapids, this place is a must-visit for steak lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike!

Our server was great and food was delicious. It was crowded but we were lucky enough to get set in the back where it's very open and feels less crowded. We had mocktails, apps, NY Steak, and dessert and they were all able to accommodate for Celiac/GF. Our server was the perfect amount of friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Great place for special occasions, which my daughter is graduating from college and I wanted a nice dinner out with her. Reasonably priced for quality and portion and gluten free accommodation. We had lots of fun, will be back.

The ambiance was great! The restaurant is tastefully decorated and lit. We had to switch booths after we were seated due to a chilly vent blowing on our booth from overhead. We ordered drinks from a friendly waitress. When ahe returned we ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer. They were delicious. However-after receiving our app and drinks our waitress did not return. After about 20 minutes and filling up on brussel sprouts, we were able to flag down another employee and he took our order. I ordered the wagyu filet and my friend, the wagyu sirloin. The food arrived in a decent amount of time. It was fresh and piping hot! We both ordered our steaks medium and they were PERFECTLY prepared and delicious! Unfortunately the sides were mediocre, at best. We both had the potatoes au gratin which came out shaped as a gelatinous cube. It looked fancy but tasted anything but. I did not finish mine. My friend, did but, was disappointed. Our other side was green beans. They were too al dente, squeaky on my teeth as I chewed. Finally, the plate was drowned in red wine sauce. This meant that it was the primary flavor of every dish. It paired perfectly with the protein and was delicious. It didn't pair so well with the potato cube or the green beans. A drizzle over the steak would have been sufficient. The sauce covered the plate completely and had "depth". It was very disappointing. My summary is, the atmosphere was great, the service was mediocre, the steak was Amazing! and the sides were subpar. We spent $126.00 on two drinks, one appetizer, and two high-quality steaks. Since half the food was delicious and the other half, very much not, I'm conflicted on whether or not, I'd return.

Dinner was amazing. I reserved a table on line. Informing them it's our Anniversary and first visit! Our server made us feel right at home! (She was really great). We sat at a warm round table which put me in a good position to watch the Football game. Candlelight on the table and great music playing in the background. I was impressed

It's just too crowded..if u do not have reservations it's crazy..they did away with wait list so now it's even worse

We were here Friday night and we had the greatest service with Marlee. She was so attentive, nice, helpful, and general all around pleasure. We appreciate that she helped us make sure to get in final drinks before happy hour ended, and when our dessert came she added candles since it was a belated bday for me and early for my fiancé. It was a really nice special touch.

Brunching again today and due to the gray day decided to go comfort food 101 and ordered the meatloaf. First, Sara at the bar provides phenomenal service and is attentive and engaging. As is the case every time I have been here, the restaurant is clean and prepared for the day. The meatloaf was amazing! Bacon wrapped, served over garlic mashed potatoes.. Yummy. This meal screams you're gonna need a nap later. Another successful brunch at Butcher's Union!

This is probably my new favorite restaurant in Grand Rapids. We arrived, and there was a 40-minute wait, but they got us in within 15 minutes. The service was swift, and while the restaurant was a bit noisy and crowded, I didn't mind because of the quality of the food, drinks, and service. My scallop dish was so fresh!!! I will definitely be returning to try more menu items!!

If I could give 10 stars, I would. The place was hopping at 5pm with an hour and 45 minute wait. Luckily, the husband and I had reservations. Enjoyed a citrus mocktail and Daisy Du at the bar before being seated. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The food was splendid and one of the best meals had in a while. We started with the salmon ceviche which was served with the lightest tortilla chips. It had just the right amount of acid & spice. I got the pappardelle bolognese and the husband got the 14 oz. butcher's cut ribeye and we also got the crispy brussel sprouts. The bolognese was a luscious blend of ground pork, beef with delightfully creamy sauce. The ribeye was tender and cooked a perfect medium. The brussel sprouts were just the right amount of crispiness topped off with bacon lardon & a slight maple chili glaze. Overall, highly recommend. Recommend making reservations or be prepared for a long wait.

Went here for lunch while traveling to Grand Rapids. The ambiance of this place is nice. It was busier than expected for lunch which made it louder than expected. Lots of people hanging out. The food was perfect. The wagu beef was very tender and perfectly cooked. The waitress did an outstanding job keeping track of my wife's food allergies and making recommendations. Will definitely visit here again.

We absolutely love butchers union! It is a go to spot in Grand Rapids. This restaurant has a very large whiskey selection, all of which they can make an incredible old-fashioned with. Food is very good as well, however, the only complaint is that they do not have a lot of Soy-free options to accommodate my Soy allergy. I still would certainly recommend this restaurant.

I really loved the vibe of this place! It has a really romantic atmosphere, so if you are going on a very casual date, this place could potentially make it slightly awkward. The restaurant during the night is pretty dark (we went around 10pm) and they have really nice candles around the place. Like what others have said, when there are a lot of people here, it can get SUPER loud. Like, too loud. The table next to us were talking and shouting, so it made it almost impossible for my table to carry a conversation. But still, I loved the atmosphere. Ok, food! I got the meatloaf and the blueberry cider. They were SO good. Even typing it right now makes me want to go there again. The meatloaf was so soft and flavorful. Meatloafs can tend to be on the salty side, and this was not salty at all. I really enjoyed eating it and letting it melt in my mouth. The mashed potato was great and buttery and the gravy was really good as well. I thought the dish looked really nice. The blueberry hard cider was really nice and sweet. I would get it again! It paired nicely with the meatloaf, I thought. I'd definitely come back here again!

Wow, this place was incredible. The servers were awesome, the ambiance was amazing, and the food was absolutely killer. Even though the prices were pretty high, it is totally worth it for the quality of the food. 10/10. I am definitely coming back here!!

Local local local..... love this establishment! Every-time I'm the GR area I make sure to stop in. Not only is the food great, but the vibe in the restaurant is always rocking! Yo until recently they didn't take reservations, so this is an added bonus. In the summer you can grab a table outside or cozy up in a booth. They have a really cool looking atrium of sorts in the back of the restaurant. All the ingredients are fresh and the service has always been top notch.

Food? Delicious! Loved my ribeye and accompanying potatoes and asparagus. Service? Delightful! Our server patiently attended to our group and brought out drinks soon after we requested them. They even let us sit down and start ordering before the whole party arrived (two in our group are serial late-comers, so I'm glad we could be served while they caught up). The indoor covered patio area is beautiful. I love the lighting and the open, minimal aesthetic. I definitely will eat here again!

The service was 10/10!! We got the Brussels sprouts as our appetizer and it was amazing. The burger was also very tasty and great. Everything was amazing, I recommend this place if you're in the Grand Rapids area!! The server also asked about allergies and this is the only restaurant that I've been to that's ever asked about that!

Loved our meal here. I had an incredibly good jalapeño chicken sandwich. I also tried the burger, which was delicious as well. The vibes and service were fantastic as well - super recommended!

A year ago, I was at Butcher's Union and ate the best Banh Mi I have ever had! Back in the state a year later, my friends and I were eager with anticipation to try Butcher's Union again! They even seated our group at the very same table we had the year before. To my great disappointment, the banh mi was no longer on the menu (even though it still showed up on their website's menu at the time). I ordered a Smoked Ribeye sandwich instead. It was rich, though the meat was quite thin. I didn't taste much of the aioli but the caramelized onions and cheddar gave the sandwich a great smokiness. I don't normally like arugula but it contrasted well with the rich flavors. To drink I had a Pain Killer, essentially their version of a pina colada. While it didn't kill the pain of losing my banh mi, it was a great cocktail that gave a kick yet wasn't too sweet. I'm still giving Butcher's Union 5 stars and it's a very trendy joint, but I did feel like a year of anticipation lost. I may come back next time I'm in town, hoping that they resurrect that great banh mi.

Tried to make a reservation and it wouldn't let us because they say on the web sight they reserve some tables for walk ins , great the out door had lots of seating available . Instead sat us next to the loud kitchen . Ordered corned beef hash with poached eggs and was told after we ordered that they don't do poached eggs on the weekends . Ordered over easy and they came over hard . Service was good .

Finally got to eat dinner at Butchers Union without a reservation. Ate outside and was given great service. Ordered the "Loncaro" happy hour drink and enjoyed the Sea Scallops which I loved. Inside is warm and inviting and outside on a warn day, is divine.

We got served RAW steaks after ordering medium and medium rare. We were then told my management that this was how they were intended to be cooked. Overall, it was insulting and disgusting. I would highly recommend going anywhere else. This place may be a nice place for a drink and an appetizer but do not go here expecting a good steak. You are far better off at the chophouse or even Ruth's Christ. This place was an epic fail.

Went for an anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. The drinks are delicious and the steak was great,too. Fair prices for what you are getting and I like the vibe of indoor outdoor feel when they open the big window/doors to the street outside. It is a little bit distracting that pedestrians are walking by on the sidewalk only 3 ft away but the fresh air and breeze are still nice especially in the summer. I would like to re-visit in the winter to embrace the cozy old money vibe of the interior. They also did well with dietary restrictions which can be tricky. Highly recommended the Aperol margarita!!! it was unique and delicious and I would return just for that. Side note: They didn't do anything for our anniversary and I know that's not expected but it's always nice.

Butchers Union is a culinary gem that doesn't need a parking lot to shine. I've dined here several times, and let me tell you, the absence of a parking lot isn't a downside at all! There's plenty of street parking available, and it's almost always a breeze to find a spot. Now, let's get to the real deal - the food. Butchers Union knows how to whip up some seriously delicious dishes. The only downside? You're not the only one who thinks so! Long lines are the norm, especially during peak dinner hours. But fear not, they've got a handy Yelp waitlist feature that can save your evening. Sometimes, you might have to wait 2-3 hours during peak hours. One thing to note: Butchers Union doesn't take reservations. So, come prepared to wait, but also come prepared to be blown away by the mouthwatering, not-ridiculously-overpriced menu. The flavors here are out of this world, and the experience is one you won't forget. If you're not in a rush, sit at the bar and enjoy the amazing ambiance!!! During the nice weather the outdoor deck is very pretty as well.

This place is delicious! They don't do reservations, so I'm told, so keep the party smaller and be prepared for a little wait. As soon as I sat down the waitress took my drink order and the tables apps order. My drink was in front of me a few minutes later and the apps came shortly after. Definitely get the maple bacon and if you're a fan of a little kick the potato nachos were great! After enjoying the apps we got another round of drinks and placed our entrées. The place was packed but we were still able to have good conversation with our table. The steaks came out perfectly. We finished the meal off with a little cheese cake for dessert which was soooo good. This is definitely not an every week place due to the price tag but definitely for special occasions.

The food was amazing! That whipped feta is soooooo goooood!!!!! The steak was juicy and very tasty I may add. I would go back for seconds honestly recommend both food items 100%. On my drink I am not a whiskey person but I wanted to try something new and it seemed the Roses are Free was a popular item. Honestly it fit perfect with my steak I just didn't get to finish my drink after I finished my steak. Overall great experience great ambiance great customer service!!!

Well worth the 25 minute wait, the interior of Butcher's Union is fun, sexy, chic, and swanky. The service was great, the server was quick to answer our questions. My husband ordered a double burger a day it was flavorful and not the least bit dry. I ordered the espresso martini which was the BEST one I've ever had. It was not heavy but you didn't miss the lack of a mostly cream drink. The milk braised pork shoulder was to die for. Whole roasted garlic cloves, kale cooked into the mashed potatoes, amazing carrots. I can't wait to go back to try more on the menu.

I will definitely be back here! Food, service, and vibe were all incredible. The crispy Brussels sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. The wagyu tenderloin was cooked to perfection. Overall wonderful experience

I've been to Butcher's Union quite a few times. I really like the vibe. It reminds me of some places I've been to in New York. The bar is big, but it's a little too tight because they have the barstools too close together. When eating, your elbows pretty easily can hit the person seated next to you. The service is consistently good, especially when seated at the bar. The food is good, but definitely could be better. The "large" wedge salad was pretty small, and it needed more dressing. The bacon was nowhere to be found on my wife's meatloaf. My smoked ribeye sandwich was ok, but the meat was overcooked and a little tough. At $18+ it should be better. The fries were excellent. Crispy outside, tender inside and nicely salted. We really liked the deviled eggs too. We get them almost every time we're there. It's a very popular place. Get there early, or you'll be faced with a 1+ hour wait. Personally I don't think the food is worth waiting over an hour for a table.

Beautiful inside, I've been a few times for dinner but joined them for brunch for the first time today, and was able to really see the beautiful decor. I had the Monte Cristo fried chicken French toast and it was amazzingggg. Sweet and slightly spicy and crunchy and savory. Delicious!
