Visited December 17th..see my receipt as always.
I have been wanting to try this place in Sacramento! It’s a short walk to DOCO and next to the outdoor skating rink.
It’s very large inside with 2 full bars and plenty of seating. I could see groups of friends coming in after a game and having some food and drinks.
We ordered the fried burrata with focaccia. It was nicely done and the sauce on the plate for dipping was delicious ! It had a hint of spice ( chili oil). The lady bartender was so sweet and she showed us how they make their own special old fashioned!
The owner, Kevin, was there and he was very hospitable. You can tell he takes pride in his restaurant! I like that they have some unique dishes to try as well as burgers and steaks. See the picture of their awards!
Gteat experience in a friendly atmosphere!

I must say this place is pretty good. A group of 6 of us came Sunday. They have a nice selection of streaks. .but only 8 and 14oz. They do have a 50oz for $250. And from what I seen the presentation is nice. Out of my 14oz steak I might have ate 9oz the rest was all fat. Iove to give 5⭐️ reviews..but today on food 3⭐️. Ill come back when its just me, and try the $250 50oz steak.

Wow: EXACTLY how you want to feel after making the time to go out to a nice restaurant! We had heard great things, but were so pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. The reason for our visit was to celebrate our last holiday season together before we welcome a baby next year. Marco took great care of us, and was so sweet in sharing anecdotes about his boys & family, making us so excited for what is to come for our little family. It was decorated cute for Christmas, with a lovely tree in the front room. The food was DELISH, did I already say that? We had the burger and the filet, with a side of potatoes, all of which rocked our world. Can’t wait to go back this weekend!

Always a pleasant experience here. The food is always good, the service is always tops, and the location is perfect for walking to in downtown near doco. They even have a great Happy Hour spread. Menus changes every season so you are always getting something new and fresh. The oysters we tried today was delicious however I wish they kept it on more ice so it stays chilled the whole time. Steaks were always good here and definitely a good vibe!

Celebrated an anniversary @ Butcher and Barrell. We loved the whole experience. From the happy anniversary card they placed on our table, to the amazing steaks. Great attentive service. Will definitely make the drive up to Sacramento again, from the Bay, to enjoy another great experience with our new friends from Butcher and Barrel.

Chloe Michael, J, and Nikki gave us phenomenal service! We are spending our 3 years of marriage and decided to try something new and head to this restaurant, and right out of the gate we were met with phenomenal service start to finish. The staff was Exemplary and the food was absolutely astonishing both in presentation and taste! We will be bringing more of our friends here as well and encourage everyone to check this place out!

Butcher and Barrel is an exceptional dining experience from the moment we arrived. Every dish was a perfect balance of elegance and flavor, crafted with clear attention to detail. The service was impeccable—graceful, attentive, and effortlessly professional. From ambiance to cuisine, every element felt thoughtfully curated. A true gem for those who appreciate fine dining at its best.

I was honestly disappointed with my visit. The steakhouse didn’t have the drinks I wanted, and the burger I came for wasn’t available either. On top of that, my steak came out undercooked even though I clearly asked for well done. The service was decent, but it didn’t make up for the lack of options and mistakes with the food. For the price, I expected a lot more.

Beautiful place, amazing staff, overpriced food. Would I go back? Maybe, but it would not be one of my regulars if I lived in Sac. The appearance of the restaurant and the food is amazing, but it lacked flavor and even though I asked for Medium well, I received my steak medium rare (half of it wasn’t cooked to perfection, but since my date want happy with her chicken, which to her the chicken was underwhelming, she ate half my steak and I ate half her chicken (which I thought it was juicy and we’ll cooked, though I also felt it needed a little more flavor). But the waitress was so amazing, we didn’t bring it up to her.
