Butcher and Barrel

It took a few tries (4), but we finally got in to try out this restaurant. On the 3rd try we were told we had a table but turned away upon arrival. Great atmosphere. Potato soup and spinach artichoke dip were delicious. The pork chop is okay. The sea bass was great. Chocolate mousse cake was wonderful. Tea was excellent. Coffee was hearty. Typically in restaurants of this type and price, a manager makes their rounds to see each table. That was missing. Overall a good place to take your time, relax, and enjoy great food.

Butcher & Barrel in Huntingburg, IN is an extraordinary find that shatters expectations. My son, working a one-month stint in Jasper—a town with even fewer dining options than Evansville—was recommended this gem by his preceptor as a standout alternative to Jasper’s fare. We’ve returned multiple times since, and it never disappoints. The shrimp and grit cakes burst with rich, savory flavor, the french airline chicken rivals the finest big-city restaurants, and the craft cocktails are masterfully crafted. Astonishingly high-caliber for such a small town, the exceptional wait staff—some even from Orange County and South Florida—delivers warm, attentive service with a personal touch. Every detail, from execution to presentation to the thoughtfully curated decor in the historic bank building,

For all that I'm rating this four stars, it is comparing it over the nation. This is a standout steakhouse, with a wonderful converted bank setting, with high enough ceilings not to get too loud even when packed. It boasts an incredible Bourbon list at very, very reasonable prices for what they have on offer. I've been four times now, and have never been disappointed. On the service side, one of the most important aspects is that they are up-front and clear in their communications. If the grits are out, they tell you when they hand you the menu before you have your heart set upon it. When I ordered my burger rare, rather than bring it out med well, the kitchen had the waiter communicate that they set limits on how rare they cook based on food safety standards. That is never a proble

Well done!! We stopped in for lunch and had a fabulous meal. The food was excellent, and the drink menu was inventive. The Hamilton's Sin Garden was well balanced and tasty. Add in the amazing service and ambiance and you have a gem worth the drive. See you again, B&B.

Drove 45 minutes for a 7pm reservation. Arrived at 6:50 and our table wasn’t ready, no problem. Observation of the restaurant, space is wasted by 4 tops being used to parties of 2. By 7:10, a couple without reservations were seated at a table that had been open the whole time. 7:15 we are finally seated. Time to order, we tried the BBQ-terie, awesome! However the kitchen messed up and gave us pork instead of bacon which I was most looking forward to. Entrees were Salmon and NY Strip. The salmon needed seasoning beyond glaze, vegetables were underwhelming. NY Stip cut was of expected quality, but it was well done when requested medium. At this point we have been here way too long and we’re not waiting on a refire. For these prices, plates should have two sides. Our waiter was awesome. Howe
