The Butcher Shop

I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at The Butcher Shop Restaurant, and it certainly lived up to the hype! From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for an authentic, mouth-watering experience. The pan con bistec was an instant favorite – incredibly tender, it literally melted like butter. It was undeniably the softest I've ever encountered, making each bite pure bliss. Beyond that standout, their Cuban sandwich was indeed 'dream worthy,' a perfectly pressed symphony of flavors. I also thoroughly enjoyed the mojo steak and their rich, flavorful chicken fricassé; you can taste the dedication to fresh, in-house preparation in every dish. While it's not a formal sit-down, its bustling, no-frills atmosphere felt genuinely inviting, perfect for focusing on the stellar food. I found the portions generous, and while some might consider it a bit pricey, the sheer quality and abundant flavors easily justify the cost. Though one dish had a hint more salt than I prefer, it was a minor note in an otherwise exceptional meal. This place is a true gem for meat enthusiasts, offering delicious, hearty Cuban cuisine that keeps you coming back. I can see why it has such a loyal following!

Softest pan con bistec i’ve ever had, it was like butter!

I was very enthusiastic to try the food for all the raving reviews about this place 😎 sad to say not as expected very expensive for the portions order by (UBBER) the steak sandwich , meat tender (only good thing) but very salty , the chicharrónes small portion $$$ with a huge tamal (scared to open) for a platter . First n last purchase 😞

Pan con lechon sandwich if not get the ribs & Chicarrones

This place deserves more than just 5 stars. This is the BEST place for chicharron. If you haven’t had chicharron, it’s chunky pieces of pork and skin, super fried until the skin is crispy. Here, the flavor of the chicharron is incredible. You will never have something so tasty, so delicious, so crunch, and so excellent anywhere else in Miami! They sell chicharron by the pound, and for 1 person, 1 pound is plenty. It is sold at $11.99/lb. Don’t sleep on the pork sandwich (pan con lechon). This is going to be the other mind blowing item here! For $6.99, this sandwich is huge and stuffed with juicy pork. The pork is a variety of crispy, fatty, and tender pieces. It’s so good and needs no sauce or anything! I also want to mention that staff are excellent, friendly, and super helpful. The lady at the front quickly helped me understand how their restaurant worked. All the staff making the food had smiles on their faces and were friendly as well. As a recap, the best chicharron in the US is here. I also would get their pork sandwich and maybe a guava and cheese taqueño or pastelito.

This isn't what is considered a sit down fancy restaurant. There are places to sit and eat more than half the people get there food to go. What this place is excellent at is, anything butchered. If yiu need excellent hamburger, steaks, ribs, chicken, this is a great place to get those items. As a restaurant there Cuban sandwich is dream worthy. There fried plantains aren't loaded up with corn syrup and a lot of other things that are bad for you. There food is made fresh in house and it shows. The mojo steak, and stews, are among my favorite. They are also excellent for there catering services, and family trays of food. The owner is usually on site too. I've been coming here for over 30 years now.

This was my first time visiting this establishment. I wanted a large piece of Churrasco, which I was able to purchase from the butcher. It looks really good & I’m excited to cook it later tonight. I also ordered two Cuban sandwiches, which were rather tasty. I especially liked that they used fresh pulled pork in it. What was rather disappointing were the Mariquitas. They smelled of oil and were seemingly not fresh. The chips were not crisp & over soaked in oil as if they were not properly drained. Would not order them again. They went straight to the disposal.

ALERT: use this as an ALERT!!! PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR BILL AND MAKE SURE TO TRIPLE CHECK IT BEFORE HANDING YOUR CARD!!! I used to go to the Butcher shop all time before covid. The food is really good, although it suffered a bit with the pandemic the food is still good. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR BILL!!! We got charged $99.99 dollars for a Burguer that was supposed to be $17.00. When we saw the bill it was really high and no one checked since “it’s the new normal to be high” it still made no sense to me when I got my bill to sign for $152. I noticed that one of the burguers that should have been $17 was at $99. I got the waitress to refund the 99 But we were still overcharged since top is already included and she never recalculated the full bill so we were overcharged $40 bucks after considering a 20% tip (which is quite decent). So please be extra careful with your bills and check over before handing your card! But the food! Is still very good, not $99 worth but still good!
