The Butcher's Son

My wife and I ate there and ordered the "early bird" (they may call it something else) sirloin steak with two sides. The steak was cooked the temperature we ordered, but it was extremely TOUGH. Even though it was small, we couldn't eat it all. We both also got a baked potato; it was not warm enough to melt butter. We complained about the meat, but got no response from the server. The bread was good.

I took my wife to Butcher's Son on Valentine's Day (2024). We arrived when the restaurant first opened and it was empty (all of the tables were open). The manager was very rude and would not seat me or my wife claiming that every seat in the restaurant was reserved. My wife and I stood there looking at an empty restaurant in shock. We could not believe customer service was that bad at The Bucher's Son. We went to another restaurant in the same plaza called Cobalt Grill that was just opening as well and they welcomed us. To our surprise, the food, customer service and atmosphere was better than The Bucher's Son. The owner also visited our table twice to check on us.

Everything was good. The service and the food was excellent until we sat down for my daughter 23rd birthday on March 5, 2024. When we was seated and started to have conversations with everyone we noticed nets flying around us. At first it was one or two but when we got our food we seen more. I called the waitress over and told her what was going on she said yes we noticed them today but we didn't have any yesterday. We really couldn't enjoy our meals. So we boxed our food up and left. I have ate there several times and never had that problem.

My husband and I came here for my birthday dinner and this is by far the best meal from top to bottom that we’ve ever had. For appetizers we got the French dip egg rolls and pork belly. I also got the she crab soup and for entrees we got the 8oz filet with Mac n cheese with green beans and the beef tip pasta. The appetizers alone made this visit a 10/10. The French dip egg rolls were to die for and the pork belly was super tender and made even more delicious by the corn salsa. The filet was cooked to perfection and the Mac and cheese was flavorful and cheesy. The she crab soup was some of the best I’ve had and the pasta was amazing! The service was also great which added to the overall experience. This will definitely be a staple for future beach visits. My only regret would be not taking any pictures!

Sorry, the quality has steadily gone down here.

We used to absolutely love this restaurant. We can no longer say this. Everything, in every aspect, has gone downhill.

My parents came to visit from DC and asked for a recommendation on a quality steakhouse, and we all loved The Butcher’s Son! Making a reservation online was easy through their website. Decadent and flavorful lamp chops were so satisfying!! My toddler daughters enjoyed the steak bites so much they asked for them at dinner the next night.

Very disappointed with the Butcher's Son. My husband made a reservation for our 1st Valentine's Day as a married couple.We have not heard great things about the Butcher's Son, but wanted to give it a chance and try it out for ourselves. Unfortunately, we made a terrible mistake. Our waitress was extremely unprofessional and it took forever to receive our food. We were patient and understanding, realizing that it was a busy night and were sure that the staff was doing their best to keep up. We ended up receiving cold food that tasted as though it was doused in salt. We expressed our concern to our waitress who simply shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know what happened. We tried to continue our dinner and just have a nice evening, but the food was terrible. When the waitress came to give our check, my husband let her know how dissatisfied we were. A few minutes later, without introducing himself at all, the manager came over because we "requested" him, which we didn't, and offered a $6.00 discount to our $100+ meal. I called the following day and spoke with Dominick about our experience. He offered a gift card and once I shared that we will not be returning, he offered to give a portion of our bill back. He stated that he needed the GM to do so. I have called to follow up and have yet to hear anything back. Now, 2 weeks later, I've called again after not hearing from anyone only for the GM to hang up on me in the middle of me speaking. We should have listened to the rumors about the terrible service and food. We won't make that mistake again.
