Restaurants With Butcher Shops Are Popping Up All Over the U.S. | Eater

"Founded by Kayne Fisher and opened in 2018, this Greensboro butcher-shop restaurant was inspired by the corner-store butchers of his childhood and aims to recreate that cut-to-order experience. Pork and poultry are sourced locally while most beef comes from a vetted Iowa City supplier; the kitchen and butchery use every component of animals they process, integrating the market directly into menu development and sales." - Bridget Shirvell

First of all, love the play on the name. Interior has a good industrial vibe with a soaring ceiling, and lots of exposed wood and metal. The space has a very LA feel to it, which is nice to see in Greensboro. No sound baffling anywhere inside with a lot of hardscapes, so the sound level was very loud to the point you couldn't hear the music. Seared tuna appetizer was excellent, although it could have been a tad less seared and more raw. Tasted like housemade wasabi with the tuna 👍🏼. Steak was cooked well, but had some unexpected gristle. The potatoes were fairly bland and didn't taste like they had any seasoning. Wine list is decent but could include more options. And a Malbec. Waitress was very friendly, but a little slow throughout the night, then not aware we were ready for the check. Couldn't choose 3.5 stars, so I gave 4 since it's definitely better than 3. All in all, not what I'd expect on most levels for the price point, but we'd definitely go back and try again.

I LOVE KAU. Everything time. Brisket Mac & Cheese. We got calamari this time too and I got a side of Brussel sprouts with like a balsamic on top that was good. Dragon fruit strawberry margaritas, rainbow sherbert hard cider, pineapple cider and the open face brisket with fries. Husband said the best sandwich he has ever had. Love the atmosphere and Miles is super sweet and the best, ask for him when you go for sure, perfect personal service.

What a beautiful atmosphere with incredible food! We ate at the Deck Bar outside with amazing views. Our server Alliha was so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Our Blackberry lemonades were so fresh and the perfect blend of sour and sweet. The seared scallop appetizer was probably the best scallops I’ve ever had. Beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. I wanted 3 more orders. Then we split a brisket sandwich with loaded mashed potatoes. Beyond flavorful, and the brisket was cooked just right. The bread soaks up all the flavors too to finish off the meal in the best way. Give Kau a try and ask for Alliha, you won’t be disappointed in the slightest!

My daughter requested a family dinner for her 18th birthday at Kau’s tonight. We came there for the Pork BBQ nachos!!! Everything was great. Service was a little slow but we didnt mind it since we were a party of 9 and our waiter was very pleasant and respectful. I dont remember his name but he did a very good job attending to our table, checking what we need and giving us space to actually enjoy the food and time with family. To our waiter, we appreciate you! I hope you enjoy that well deserved slice of home made cake. ❤️

My husband and I celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary at Kau on Saturday. The staff was amazing starting with Maria the hostess. Our servers Natalie and Hailey provided us with superb customer service and an amazing dining experience. We used to spend our anniversary with Fleming’s but because of the EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE we received that will be a thing of the past. Our food was spot on from the recommendations from them. The manager Megan came by to check on us and we had to let her know she has a top tier staff. We LOVED every moment of being at Kau. Thank you for bringing professionalism, honesty and integrity back into the restaurant business. We will be back EVERY opportunity we can. We will let our friends and family know they are missing out if they don’t go by and enjoy “the experience” at Kau. We will see you all soon and again THANK YOU Maria, Natalie, Hailey and Megan for a job well done. I must add the in house steak sauce and ranch dressing was so good we wanted to drink it lol hats off to the CHEF!!!!!

We had: 3 Farm platters- great portion, the eggs were good, and so was the bread/toast, and bacon. The bacon was extremely salty, so much so I on of them didn't eat any of it. The wheat toast would gave been a good choice, but we under it was just a special. Smash burger- that wasn't smashed. He didn't eat it at all. The fries were some of the best I've had in a while, just plain. Collard dip- the pita chips were lightly crispy and just perfect. The dip itself seemed to be missing something, and it was, cheese. It still tasted ok, but this is my favorite menu item, so I could tell. Brisket Mac n cheese was very good. We were seated right in front of th bathroom, which was weird because there were only 3 tables when we got there. I think MaKayla was the bartender and our server. She was nice enough, just not attentive. Mary was a server that brought out some of our food. She grabbed a few things for us with a smile. Josh (I hope I remembered his name correctly) he was the MOD and amazing. My guest were from out of town and he explained some of the history of the space and talked about the menu. We appreciated time, as he could have been doing anything else. Overall, 9/10 and we'll definitely be back! (Sunday brunch @ noon)

We made a reservation and were seated quickly upon arrival. For our appetizer, we had the calamari, which was delicious and tasted very fresh. My husband ordered the Rau Ribeye and said it was excellent flavorful and clearly a high-quality cut of steak. I had the salmon with mashed potatoes, and both were cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes could have been a bit softer, but overall everything tasted great. The only downside was that the tables felt a bit small and somewhat uncomfortable. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our experience

I loved this place and the experience that I had was great! I ordered the BBQ Brisket tacos and they were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had! However, I did feel like the pulled pork nachos were pretty mid. Too much coleslaw on top that was bland and wet ruined the sauce, pork, chips and cheese. Over all great experience would recommend no coleslaw on the nachos!

I have always wanted to try this spot and when my friend offered for us to go there for an early dinner I was definitely in! When we arrived, I didn't realize how big the place actually was but it was a nice surprise. The place is beautiful inside, nice ambiance and the customer service was impeccable. I wish I remembered the name of the waiter, but I know he used to work at the Green Valley Grill's bar, either way he was wonderful! He talked to us about our questions and I ended up just ordering a burger and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were great but the burger was just alright, presentation was on point though! It was not cooked as done as I would like it so I didn't eat it all, that turned me off a bit. I haven't been back at all, don't know if I would return but on a date night it would be a great spot to talk and get to know someone. When we left we went over to their outside seating section now that was really nice! I would go back for that to relax. If they had some music out there that would be lovely, just a suggestion, lol!

My all time favorite place to dine in for some steak in greensboro. I went here for a friends birthday dinner. We ordered a dozen oysters, mussels and scallops for our starting appetizers. Out of all the seafood appetizers I tried, fell in love with the mussels. The sauce was well seasoned to taste and compliments the mussels. It was so delicous I had to dipped the complimentary bread in it. For the entrees we ordered mac and cheese brisket, ribeye thick cut and a tomahawk to share as a family style dinner. Eveything I tried was cooked well and seasoned great. Although the steak sauce that came with the tomahawk is a bit salty but it was in a sauce cup and not poured onto the steak, so add as much to perference of taste. Place gives industrial modern look,lighting is dimmed, not many children dining in but there is a section on the menu for kids. Theres is two level of seating. We were seated ground level. Theres plenty of seatings to dine in. There is also a private room for large parties available for reservations. A great place for steak group dinner outings.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Kau for my husband's birthday dinner. I made reservations online about 3 weeks in advance for a Saturday evening. There was a small line when we got to Kau to check in with the host stand when we first got there. After about 7ish minutes in line, it was finally our turn and we were seated immediately. I ordered a wedge salad (with red wine vinaigrette dressing) for an appetizer and brisket mac & cheese for my entree. Both meals were absolutely delicious! Kau has their very own butcher market attached to their restaurant so I knew the meat selections would be wonderful. My husband and I shared The Kau Pie for dessert. The Kau Pie is vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two giant, warm chocolate chip cookies and topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Our server was Myles. He shared that he was fairly new to the job, but he was great! He had a joyful personality making jokes, a positive attitude, and he was attentive. Kau has an inside and outside area, but we sat inside. It was a very open concept inside with exposed ceilings. I loved the design because it matched the outside warehouse look. Parking was plentiful, but make sure you park in the right area that isn't reserved for elsewhere. Kau is located in Revolution Mill in Greensboro near a bunch of other restaurants and an apartment complex. I highly recommend going here for an elevated dining experience!

Service was top notch. The outdoor area is really a great spot to relax and dine. I loved the views. I ordered steak salad. The steak was absolutely amazing. My daughter ordered Mac and cheese and she loved it. I had a simple dinner tonight, but I would love to come back and try the rest of their menu. This is a great adult place. Great for a date night or friend gathering.

Kau has always been a local favorite! We visited for the first time since it has been under new ownership and were not disappointed! We sat at the bar - it had warm lighting. The service was prompt & friendly! The food was delicious!! We ordered the fried calamari & the brisket Mac-n-Cheese. The calamari was cooked to perfection and paired with a sweet & spicy dipping sauce. The Mac was totally indulgent. So savory and cheesy...I didn't want to stop eating though I was so full! Wednesday also has wine deals! Wine-down with discounted glasses or half-off bottles! That was a bonus for sure! Can't wait to go back and enjoy the patio soon.

Their menu can be a hit or miss for me, but overall it's really good. The collard dip is my favorite. Honestly, I can go there just to get that and I would be satisfied! I love the ambiance and the fact it's walking distance from my home. I would definitely return!

If you know me you know I've never been a huge fan of Kau. It's not bad, it's just not my go to in GSO and I've never really understood the hype. However, they do have the best Philly Cheesesteak in town, IMO. I thought they had removed it at one point and I remember thinking that was the worst decision they could have made, but I gave them another shot last weekend and lo and behold there it was! I have to say, this was the best experience I've had here. It was packed, and the line to be seated was nearly out the door, so obviously they're doing something right! They did get everyone through pretty quickly. Parking can be a little painful if you can't get a spot right up front. This isn't Kau's fault, I just think the design of this parking lot and Rev Mill is poor in general. The service here is always great, I'll say that! There's also a huge bar and in the warmer months, the deck bar is a lot of fun! My sandwich was delicious as always. There's just something about it! The aioli is out of this world and it's a big sandwich for the price. That's the interesting thing, I find the prices to be inconsistent. Beer is expensive but cocktails are competitively priced. Handhelds are fairly priced while other things are outrageous. My friend had the Crab Cakes. Good, but absolutely not worth the price tag, and I'll pay good money for a solid meal no questions asked. Now I will say they are very clearly mostly lump crab and not filled with a bunch of additives or breading. They just needed more seasoning and weren't that hot. Now that this area is growing more, I'll come back here. I'd also make a special trip to get the Philly to go! It's a must try.

I ordered the chicken wings and they were the hottest and freshest! That didn't stop me from ripping through the burn because they were really good. There were two bartenders helping so the service was good and it's a nice restaurant.

Kau is a very cool atmosphere. The bar tenders were great. Very friendly. Service was very good. One thing you should know is they are a first come first served. So getting a table may be tricky. There are only about 12 tables and then bar seating. We ordered the Soul Roll for start and then the brisket sandwich and meatloaf sandwich, both with brussel sprouts. I was not a fan of the soul roll it was kind of bland. The Thai chili sauce they serve with it helped kick up the flavor. The stand out for us was the brisket sandwich. The meat was so tender. If we go back we will definitely try some of their other options.

I went here recently with some friends for a birthday dinner. They didn't have space for a group our size on the inside so we opted for the outdoor bar. The cocktails were very well mixed and our bartenders were very attentive. I ordered the cajun pasta which was great, and they did have a veggie burger for my husband, which they were willing to adjust a bit to make it vegan (though, not many other vegan friendly options). The space itself is really nice, close to the revolution mill apartments and overlooking the water. We had a group of 8, so if you are looking for somewhere with an indoor option that can accommodate that, it would probably be best to make a reservation- this was just a random weekday around 7 and they were still pretty busy.

I've heard nothing but good things about this place so we tried it. Personally not sure what all the fuss was about. It's in an old factory building turned Restaurant. Cool, that's been going on for about 30 years (check out the BOB, Grand Rapids, MI). So Butcher shop is in the same building. I assume their steaks are good, but I'm not paying 55.00 for a NYS at basically a glorified bar. Oh, that was the least expensive steak. We ordered the collard dip forgot to get photo. It was ok, the pita chips that came with it were phenomenal. The handheld, or as normal people call them sandwiches were good. They came with 1 side and started at 16.00, high for a sandwich. We Sat at the bar, great service. The bartender was extremely friendly. However, again, for 2 sandwiches an appetizer 2 beers and tip, I think 75.00 is a bit much.

Enjoyed a birthday celebration on my first experience at Kau. The appetizer scallops were delicious, the salmon entree first rate but perfection was the short rib bowl. I had a fabulous Pinot Noir by the glass. Food and drink were Spectacular!!!! Our server (Hailey) was super friendly and efficient plus the support staff was remarkably attentive and on top of things. I would suggest they clear used/empty glasses and plates to make the small tables comfortable as the evening progresses - otherwise, no complaints. Look forward to my next meal at Kau.

Ate here with a friend recently. She got the classic burger with fries and I got beef tips with mashed potatoes and green beans. Her burger was dry and lacked flavor. (I tried it too) the fries were cold when served. My beef tips were good but small amount. The queso and chips appetizer was just ok. Chips seemed stale Bill with tip was well over $70 I love the setting but honestly extremely poor food for the cost. The steak prices must be highest in triad Eaten here three times now... similar experience every time . I'm done If you fancy a drink at the outside bar under stacks that would be the only reason to go.

Kau is an upscale dining experience with an elevated spin on classics items. I've been here twice and each time has been great from the service to the food. I tried the Collard Green Dip and Chicken Jack on this visit. I enjoyed the collard dip-it put me in the mind of a spinach artichoke dip but the collards gave it a different flair and elevated the usual dip experience. The Alfredo sauce in the dip paired well making it creamy and delicious. I also loved the pita chips which weren't too crunchy like chips but had enough body to be a good accompaniment. The Chicken Jack was very well seasoned and I thought the pepper jack cheese gave it the right hint of spice without being overwhelming. The chicken was perfectly fried and juicy and the bun was incredibly soft. Definitely a must visit if you haven't tried. Everything so far has been excellent.

We walked in to this restaurant and were impressed. An old industrial building, used to be revolution cotton mills, south's first flannel mill first opened in 1898. The history, location and the work done to transform the interior of the building was truly remarkable from the flooring to exposed beams and ceilings and huge space, we were in awe. I wish we can say the same thing about the food. My cousin and BF had the butcher burger and weren't really impressed. It lacked that extra substance to it, to make it really enjoyable. The patty was of good quality but overall it was boring, the garlic aioli didn't do much to elevate the taste and so was the Gruyère cheese that it came with, however the fries were great. Now, I had the beef tips.. it was good but nothing special. The mashed potato was delectable, rich and creamy and the broccolini was cooked perfectly and had a good crunch, but the gravy was a bit much and added an extra layer of richness that I couldn't finish my meal. What we enjoyed the most was the steak plate appetizer, unique tasting that you just can't get enough of. And drinks, good selection of wines, cocktails and draughts. Service was friendly and adequate. A little pricey for North Carolina, I just wished the taste of food was worth it. 3 stars for food, 5 stars for the ambiance and location.

Enjoyed a tasty dinner at Kau on our date night out to Revolution Mill over the weekend. Got there around 7, seating is a bit chaotic, as it's a seat yourself situation, which I did not expect for what I considered a "finer" dining experience. This could certainly be improved, as there was much wasted space, 2 people sitting at 6 tops, and people sporadically spaced at the bar, just made it a little difficult to find a spot. We did eventually find 2 open seats at the very end of the bar. It was maybe a medium level of busy, but after finding our seats, the bartender brought menus. The menu had some good options, getting on the pricey side for sure. I was very surprised by their minimal beer selection. I always think that's odd when we're in a state and even an area with so many great beers, to only have few craft beers on the but menu is disappointing. I ended up getting the brisket Mac and cheese, a dish that I had enjoyed the first time I visited several years ago. Food came out pretty quickly, looked great, and tasted even better. My big complaint is the awkward seating method. I can see it working fine on slow nights, but not on a Friday night. Otherwise the food is great, and I'm sure I'll be back

Enjoying an evening out with coworkers. Kau never disappoints! The food is always on point and the plates are always loaded. The cocktails were very good as well along with the customer service. We were lucky to have a waiter in training and a waitress, they were very knowledgeable about what Kau had to offer. I love dining on their deck but the wind was blowing too much yesterday, maybe next time so we can enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you haven't visited before try them out, you won't be disappointed.

Time for an update to my 2020 review of Kau, and to show my appreciation for this wonderful Greensboro spot at Revolution Mill! I've been here several times with groups, or just me and my SO. No matter the occasion, whether a brunch, lunch, or dinner, it has never failed to hold up. Not to mention, it's a big place, so they can usually accomodate you right away, especially if the weather is nice and the deck is open (one of the best outdoor dining spots in Greensboro). My favorite thing has come to be the meatloaf sandwich. A perfectly done meatloaf sandwich is something to treasure when you find it, and Kau absolutely nails it. I've never seen a small portion at Kau, and this sandwich is no exception! The chunk of meatloaf is very hearty, with their meatloaf sauce and a brilliant blend of ingredient, topped with muenster cheese on buttery bread. It's great. In fact, after an appetizer of collar dip (every time, just do it), I can only eat half, and end up taking the other half home usually with some brussel sprouts (my usual side choice) for another meal. To elaborate on the collard dip, might be my absolute favorite dip in town. For one, the pita chips they serve with it are divine. Buttery, a little crisp, on their own they are fantastic. But then you top them with the creamy zesty collard dip, and you're just transported to appetizer heaven. All told, I'll continue to be a happy patron of Kau, and look forward to more meals there!

Excellent food!! The salmon was cooked to perfection with a perfect crispy skin. Brussels Sprouts were also great. If you like spice in your drink try their spicy margarita!! Very friendly staff. The atmosphere is cool and not pretentious. But the food is as good as any upscale "stuffy" restaurant in the area.

This place is one my favorites in Greensboro! With everything from great cocktails to amazing food this place is a staple in this city. Great ambiance, huge building with history. The food is phenomenal, everything is fresh and made well. They have the best Brussel sprouts and you can't go wrong with any of their entrees. Great service as well! Our waiter specifically today was pretty awesome. Overall this place is awesome!

Great atmosphere but waaay over priced. Recently under new management and the changes are obvious. Wine selection got smaller as they push their brand of Kau wine. We stopped in for an evening bite (730p) and the food taste like last-call! Brisket sandwich wasn't hot at all (very disappointing), the calamari we didn't finish because it was so rough and chewy, but my wifes burger was pretty good. Too bad it's not a burger joint. 3 glasses of wine, 1 app, and two sandwiches, $90+ (with tip). We won't be going back any time soon

I was there for a group gathering this time, so I enjoyed sampling a few of their dishes. The Cajun wings were fantastic, and the collard dip blew my mind it was so good. The wines they selected for our outing were fantastic - - I was impressed with the Chardonnay and the red blend they had available for us, but everyone I spoke to who had wine was very impressed.

The oysters are my new favorite thing. Thoroughly enjoyed my last visit. We sat on the outdoor deck which was perfect for the weather. The service was excellent the wait staff were very attentive and never let a glass run dry. I very much enjoyed each way they prepared their oysters. Both baked and raw were excellent! The Prosecco was crisp and effervescent and a delightful pairing. I cannot wait to return for another serving of oysters!

The atmosphere was that of a trendy spot. Come as you are. Not loud but a low rumble. Ordered the spicy margarita. Very good. Good pour. Ordered the sausage dip. Was not disappointed. This could be a meal if more was served. Kayla P was our server and she did not disappoint. She kept on coming back to ensure that our needs were met. She recommended that my pork chop be cooked medium. She chose well. Collard greens were a bit spicy. But that just made them better. Mash potatoes were okay. Can't really do wrong with them. Short ribs were cooked to perfection. That will be my next meal. All in all a very good place to go. Rarely do I give five starts. Well deserved.

Ordered: Collard Dip, Butcher Burger, and Brussel Sprouts. This is my 2nd time at Kau. My first visit was back in 2022. Unfortunately, I don't remember what main dish I tried back then but the appetizer left a great enough impression that I ordered it when I revisited this month. The collard dip was and still is 5/5! It was a hit at my table for other people who came here for their first time. I'd like to note that if you have any leftovers, they warm up well at home. I asked my waiter their opinion on sides since I was stuck between choosing the Brussel sprouts or the Broccoli. When they explained the Brussel sprouts were tossed in a a vinaigrette along with other seasonings, I was convinced to order it as my side. 5/5 and I devoured it before I touched my burger. The Butcher burger I didn't eat more than 2 bites of, not because I didn't want to eat my food but because I rushed out of the house to come here for dinner by grabbing the first shirt I saw. A WHITE shirt. I couldn't have been angrier at myself because anytime I wear white and go out to eat, I get a stain from food. I chose to take the burger home to eat another time. I warmed it up in the oven the following day and it was still juicy and flavorful. I'd also like to report I managed to survive my food outing with no spots on my white top thankfully. I'd recommend you come here for a date, friends outing, birthday outing, anything really.

Kau remains a personal favorite, and I have probably eaten here over 30 times since it morphed from the rather disappointing Natty Greene's about 4 years ago. I had visited the Natty Green's once and was not impressed - they seemed confused as to what kind of restaurant they would be, couldn't pull off a more upscale version while retaining their pub DNA! When Kayne took over the whole operation, he started to build the restaurant he had invisioned. While it retained some of the Pub/Burger basics of Natty's, it moved forward to a more upper level restaurant offering some excellent beef choices as a focal point. And their attractive, modern style bar became another draw, as did the plentiful outside seating (some of which is covered) for both food and drink. Before Covid changed the restaurant landscape, this place offered lunch for 3 work days & Sat, with Brunch/Lunch on Sun. I was here for 2 or 3 meals week, almost always for the Brunch offerings, outside when the weather permitted. The bar crew here was among the very best I've seen since Robert ran the crew at Fleming's in the mid 20- teens! They lost some stalwarts during the pandemic but reloaded well - though Vicky will always be missed! The food here is not inexpensive, at least at first glance, but the portions, especially on the sandwiches (mindful of Jake's Billiards), same with many Brunch items! The same can't be said for much of of the pure meat offerings, pricey and escalated big time after Covid - especially a real favorite the Lamb Chops! I will simply parade the pictures of the amazing items I've enjoyed here, it is hard to go wrong with most options, which changes during seasonal movement! Go to the bar, they will treat you right!

We have been going to Kau for years. It was awesome when they opened, it suffered during and after Covid and is now better than ever. I have been three times lately and now feel good about writing this review. They are back and better than ever. The menu is very diverse and all prices too. We have tried some from all levels. Love their calamari. Breading is awesome and calamari is very tender. Great steak sandwich and burgers are all solid. Love their poke bowls and salads. Outdoor dining is awesome now that some cooler weather is here. All of their workers are awesome too. Very attentive!So glad they have gotten it going again because Greensboro needs more places like this!

Honestly so disappointed in Kau. We just went last week and the food has gone so downhill. My dad and husband got steaks and they were not the temperature they ordered. They were super tough and not seasoned well at all. I got a poke bowl and the tuna was closer to grey than it was pink. I was literally picking around the tuna, just eating the rice and avocado and such. My mom's meal was good, she got the salmon and brussel sprouts and she was pleased with it. We got calamari to start which was super rubbery. The quality of food does not match the price whatsoever. The steaks were each $65 and some of the worst I've ever tasted. It's just such a shame because the facility and the service was amazing. We had such an awesome waiter and she even got my dad another steak after he wasn't happy with his temperature. They were extremely accommodating and the manager even came out to talk to us about it. I wish they would make the food better to match the nice facility and awesome staff.

So we had several group reservations for parties of 8 because that's the highest they can go. Some of the groups weren't able to show up but they were very accommodating! We started off with the collard green dip and the soul food egg rolls (I forgot to get pictures). I'm not a fan of cheese period but that's just me. But they were accurately prepared and cooked just as described. The collard green dip had a very good taste. I just wish it stayed hotter longer. My entrée was delicious!!!! The short ribs were tender, tasty and I had enough to take home! My first time here but it won't be my last!

Best steak I've experienced in Greensboro! Excellent quality cuts, cooked to perfection! The old mill industrial atmosphere is very cool, and you park across the creek and walk over on a pleasant footbridge. Pretty setting. Service is great too, attentive but not hovering. Not rushed either.

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Greensboro. A great menu and a great atmosphere. It's open , spacious , and has a clean yet industrial vibe . The food is always great. I'm a big fan of their starters.

The brisket sandwich with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts was delish. AND, the famous cheese dip is worthy of the reviews,, esp with the hot,, puffy pita points. The service was attentive, helpful in describing items... and the speed of very hot food arriving to table was great. The small indoor eating area was very noisy as we expected with its setting...not a place for cozy conversations.

Came here for date night and loved it. Seating is first come, first serve, so if you show up on a Friday night like we did getting a table may be a bit tricky. We ended up sitting at the bar, but it was great! Yummy drinks, the caprese salad was amazing and perfect, and had great burgers!! Gluten-free friendly as well which is a plus for my BF. It's in an old mill, so the vibe is super cool, but not necessarily what I would consider high-end and can be a bit noisy but we had no issues with this.

Stopped by Kau this past weekend finally and was not disappointed! Located at Revolution Mill, Kau has both a restaurant and butcher shop here. We sat outside this particular evening as it was about an hour wait to sit inside, granted this was peak dinner time so understandable. Thankfully the weather was perfect and there were umbrellas at all tables to shade us from the sun. Our server was super nice and attentive the whole evening, offering multiple recommendations for both apps and main entrees. I started off the evening with the Kau Sunset, a refreshing cocktail to cool off. I then opted for the Beef Tip Bowl, Beef tips in gravy with mashed potatoes and broccolini. I was pleasantly surprised by this bowl. The meat was tender and the gravy was a perfect consistency and seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were the best combo of smooth with bits of whole potatoes throughout, and the broccolini was roasted and seasoned wonderfully. We will most definitely be back to try some other appetizers and dishes that sounded amazing!

There's been so much hype about this restaurant and I love brisket so we needed to see for ourselves. This place is very busy, interior is very nice as well as the outdoor bar. Our waitress was amazing and very helpful navigating items on menu. They offer seating at the bar, traditional seating and outdoor seating. We chose to eat inside. We ordered the collard dip and soul rolls for an appetizer, brisket mac n cheese, grilled salmon. The dip and soul rolls were really good, the brisket Mac n cheese was way overrated, the sauce was good, but not enough brisket for me to say it was good and the Mac cheese was just ok. The salmon was served skinned side up, which initially made it look blackened and was overcooked. I also ordered a blackberry lemonade cocktail it was a 10/10. I was underwhelmed by my food experience, I would definitely go back for appetizers and drinks.

My favorite nachos ever! Before I can even look at the menu I've ordered the nachos. I always get the slaw on the side and add it as desired, but the combo of crispy chips, queso, pulled pork, sweet and spicy sauce, and cool creamy slaw is out of this world. The brisket Mac was also a hit at our table! A heaping portion of very cheesy Mac with saucy brisket. Their meats are always cooked and seasoned to perfection. The charcuterie included a pimento cheese that we all loved with the crackers. Cocktails are also fun here! We opted for wine this time, but love the spicy Margarita (it's got some heat!). The parking is a little far from the restaurant as you have to walk across a bridge to get around to the entrance, but it helps to burn off the extra calories.

Arrived at 6, was told there would be a 30 minute wait. Sat at the bar and left after 45 minutes...received a phone call at 7:25 that our table was ready. We were already at McCouls having a fish dinner. As we left Kau saw a number of folks who were already seated still waiting for their meals. Maybe it's time to get your act together.

My 3rd time here, one of our favorite places to eat in Greensboro. Their hand held brisket sandwich is so tender. If you order it, ask for a side of their bbq sauce, it truly makes it complete. I had the brussel sprouts as my side, and it is delicious. Caramelized and tender! We shared a large order of fries which were fried to perfection. My friend got a Philly cheese steak that she said was as good as the ones in Philly that she's tried. The restaurant is so cool as it used to be a factory warehouse, so it has super high ceilings and exposed brick and ducts. Love it here! They have a great party room upstairs you can rent out as well for events.

Hey family. I scooted by Kau yesterday as I was in the area. I've been to this place many times and the service and quality has not changed for me. I'm always greeted and the staff is very attentive. I particular like to go on Thursdays as they have $5 Prosecco which is very tasty. They did have some Valentine's week specials but I kept it simple and ordered an app and tacos. One thing about this place is that you get your monies worth. I did finish my sausage dip but was only able to eat one of the tacos. I had the blue steer tacos with arugula, red onion, blue cheese and steak. I keep forgetting to upload photos when I come here because I'm just enjoying the atmosphere. Everything is fresh and they do have an in house butcher. I've tried most items on the menu and they do not disappoint. When you're in the area, check this place out. You'll be glad you did.

My wife had her work holiday party here this past week. The location is within Revolution Mill and is in a very cool building. Parking is easiest across from the wooden bridge unless you are lucky enough to find a spot right outside the front door. We also noticed they have a great patio area which would be perfect on a spring or summer evening. Inside there is a small shop and meat market and restaurant seating. Our event was being held upstairs in the loft area which allows larger groups (50-70 people) to enjoy a private area along with bar and restrooms away from the remainder of the restaurant. The food was served buffet style and featured items like Meatballs, Lobster Mac n Cheese, Veggies, Shrimp, Brisket and Dessert. The full service bar had everything from hard alcohol, beer on draft and bottled wine and non-alcoholic options as well. The service was very good as well and our group felt well taken care of. We really enjoyed it and thought the building itself was very cool too. We will definitely come back when it is just the two of us to further explore the menu!

Reservations accepted, maybe encouraged if you're worried or have a large party, but not always needed. A very rustic and industrial vibe that keeps the history of Revolution Mill alive. The cocktails were delicious (an Old Fashioned is always my go to, and totally held up)! The blackberry lemonade is fantastic too. The burgers and wings are great portions and great tasting, along with every side I've tried!

Such a great place and Kiera was such a good waitress. I feel like I could have given her a bigger tip. Didn't give a bad tip but she was so good I should have done more, but we will be back. Thank you Kiera for your amazing service
