The Butcher's Barrel

Stopped by on a Friday for happy hour. Jessica and Katie were very welcoming behind the bar. We started with the Butcher's Balls and Bang Bang Shrimp, both of which were delicious and came out pretty quick. Then we got a cup of the French Onion Soup which was also great. The bread/crouton stayed crunchy somehow even though it was soaked in broth. We were going to get the flank steak but Jessica recommended the flat iron so we went with her recommendation. The steak came out over the temp we requested but the flavors were good. Didn't have room for dessert, but we were told about the limoncillo cake and biscoff cheesecake that we will be returning to try. Overall I would recommend.

Lovely little spot -- really friendly and just wow on the food!!! Did not expect such a sophisticated menu, and everything on that table was phenomenal. The staff were amazing and engaging, the atmosphere was awesome. Wish I lived closer because I think I'd probably be there all the time!!

Great food! I had the lamb chops and they were seasoned to perfection. The chef was very pleasant. He came out to ensure we were enjoying our meal and we were!

My friend and I visited the BB yesterday afternoon, close to Happy Hour. Ryan greeted us at the bar, poured a generous glass of wine for my friend and I enjoyed a beer, at half price. Ryan told us about a salmon soup, which sounded so delicious that I ordered a cup. A fish sauce base, some potato and carrot, perfectly cooked leeks, then large chunks of salmon. Incredible! We also sampled his stuffed pepper soup, which was equally delicious. I highly recommend a visit to this casual, no frills corner family restaurant. I can’t wait to try more of Ryan’s creations!

Where do I begin?!The steak was succulent, the lobster tail was tender, the mashed potatoes whipped & creamy, the Brussel sprouts perfect combo of sweet & savory! Paired with a perfect bottle of wine- the white bordeaux is my fave!! As always, Ryan & and the team are beyond hospitable to every guest that enters!

The Butcher's Barrel offers an array of meat cuts. We were surprised that the inside seating is limited but comfortable with well spaced tables. They also offer outdoor seating. The onion soup was a good comfortable broth with lots on onion and a good amount of baked cheese. I was surprised how quickly it came out of the kitchen after being ordered, but it was enjoyable. All 3 entrées were tasty and no complaints. Too bad they do not have some applesauce to serve with the pork chops. The "burnt ends" mac and cheese was very comforting and I was able to order the meat as desired (medium rare). The chicken burger was reported as very good. We didn't have desserts but the offers sounded good -- we were headed to an Art Fusion showing just up the block and knew they would have some tasty treats. If looking for reasonable menu pricing and good cuts of meat, you should definitely consider The Butcher's Barrel.

We are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in the heart of Oakland Park. The chef loves what he does and you can tell by the personalized service and delicious food. They made my wife's birthday extra special by making her favorite soup.

4.6 is not high enough to represent how great this place is! The burnt ends Mac n cheese was outright incredible! The French onion soup was delicious. My burger hit the spot and was potentially the best I've ever had. Everything about this restaurant was perfect, especially Katie's service. I highly recommend it. I would take the hour drive to Ft. Lauderdale just to come back!
