The Butcher Shop Boston steakhouse

I've wanted to go here for about a decade and just never had the right opportunity. Sadly it's not the same restaurant. There is no specials board. There...

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants when I lived in Boston eight years ago, but it's unfortunately not anything like I remember. Our drinks were...

Good food but wayyyyyy too expensive … this was a $300 for 2 people. This is not a top resturant where you spend those money. Outside seating… not great… tables are too low and chairs uncomfortable…. Definitely a must to improve. Food and wine wise: tasty food but expensive and wine list very short and not at the $300 level bill. Service good … but not impressed. Another resturant in Boston not to go back. And by the way …. The name “the butcher shop” you expect A LOT OF MEAT CHOICES…. With special cuts …. And this is not the place.

I found this place 3 years ago and get back every chance I can! Unbelievably fresh cuts of meat and Perfect Bacon for breakfast! Big plus Is they do great...

Where do I start? I came here about 5 years ago and it was a great experience. Wonderful burgers and steaks, great atmosphere and good service. I came...

Food and drinks were superb! The staff was very friendly, the overall vibe is great. Love the tables next to the open windows!! 10/10!!

Passable but overpriced food and underwhelming service. I came in a weeknight evening while it was not busy and sat at the bar. Was served a bottle of beer, reasonably tasty but uninspired beef tartare for $21, and a downright basic burger for $28 (I’ve had better for half that within blocks of this place). Server took quite a while to get around to taking my order, came around at odd times, while my mouth was full, in the middle of courses to ask “how was it?”. Atmosphere is fine with a few nice art pieces but nothing special aside from a prime location on tremont. Really couldn’t justify recommending this when it’s surrounded by some of the best restaurants in town.

Pretty rough honestly. Ambience is really cool but the food just isn’t, especially for the price point. Expecting a place called The Butcher Shop to have a good burger, we ordered the $28 burger (medium)… came out basically raw and each bun was thicker than the patty itself. Sub par. Also got the tagliatelle bolognese - solid but a little chewy and too hot like it’d been in the microwave. The couple next to us received a raw pork chop, which they obviously had to send back, which provided good entertainment.

I was really looking forward to taking my wife to The Butcher Shop again. Our first visit (sometime in 2004) was shortly after they had opened, and we had a wonderful experience. We recently moved back to the Boston area and I made reservations for Mother's Day. Let me begin with my praise for the staff that we interacted with, they were kind and wonderful. Sadly, to say that the food was disappointing would be an understatement. I ordered from the Mother's Day prix fixe menu and was looking forward to my prime rib eye. I have no idea what I was given but I can assure you it was not prime rib eye. I am old enough to have eaten my fair share of steaks (at some of the best steak houses around the world). My wife (the reason we were there in the first place) had an even worse experience. To summarize, The Butcher Shop may have once been a "can't miss" eatery, sadly, it is no such place any longer.

I went for Mother's Day. I had been in the past and I was looking forward to a delicious steak. I ordered the menu provided for Mother's Day which was the prime rib eye. The quality of the meat and the preparation was very disappointing. The steak seemed to be boiled rather than grilled. The taste was not of a rib eye. A restaurant of this standard should be ashamed. I definitely will not return. The staff was very nice, but a very disappointing meal.
