This was our second visit to the Tale!!! Happy we made the trip. Steaks were on point and the sides were solid. The big draw was the sausage appetizer……just as good as I remembered.
Staff was very friendly and attentive. Drinks were well made and I am a bit of an Old Fashioned snob, they were very good.
The smell of the maple and oak used for grilling is intoxicating. Wood Flame grilled steaks are light years ahead of the game……they do it right here.

Somewhere between 3 and 4 star.
I picked this place for my birthday because the photo of the huge ribs totally got me, but honestly, that ended up being the reason I couldn’t give five stars.
All the appetizers and side dishes were amazing. The truffle mac & cheese? Easily a 10/10. But the main dishes were just… fine. Nothing tasted bad, but also nothing I’d want to order again.
The ribs looked super impressive and HUGE, but maybe that’s the problem. The outside was so dry it almost made me cough, and the inside was pretty dry too.
Great sides, great appetizers, really friendly vibe ( can be loud and crowded since it’s usually packed ) but the mains didn’t quite hit the mark for me. That’s why I can’t give it a 4 star since it’s fine dining.

Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary dinner (with a reservation which we moved around quite a bit, with no issue) and the lady who showed us to our seats asked us if there was a special occasion- so we briefly told her. The service was absolutely amazing and friendly and by far the best I’ve ever experienced dare I say in my life. From the waiter to the servers to even the bussing of the dishes. Our waitress was so incredibly helpful and thoughtful! She somehow caught wind that it was our anniversary and gave us a free scoop of ice cream and congratulated us! They anticipated our every need and did it swiftly and with care. Thank you guys so much!

Wonderful service! Really aesthetic, nice looking restaurant too. We sat in the main dining area facing the kitchen with the wood fired grill.
Food was great too, we split the 14 ounce New York strip, sides of potatoes & Spanish carrots. In my opinion, the value just kind of missed the mark which is the reason for only four stars. The meal was expensive ($100/pp with tip, even with sharing an entree) and the cocktail sizes were too small given the price.

Great location for team dinner. The Jalapeños with peanut butter starter is quite original. A must- try. If regular menu items are delish, desserts are even better and of sharable size. You’re in for a good surprise when you order the chocolate cake. Helpful and polite staff, great decor.

We came to Butcher’s Tale as a large group for a work event and the downstairs room we were in was beautiful. Having our own server/bartender was great! At the last minute we added a few people to our reservation and the staff was so gracious and accommodating! Our server Rich was such a fun time and our team members loved the food and the atmosphere.
We will be back!

I’ve never in my life had a steak as good as the one I did here, and I do fancy myself a steak connoisseur. The Japanese wagyu was exceptional.
The service was phenomenal, the waitress was educational and helpful. Yum y’all was everything I needed it to be, fun but still felt quaint.
We had the sprouts which I would not skip, the mashed potatoes which were the perfect compliment to the steak, the mushrooms which I severely underestimated and were amazing. The most surprising enjoyment however, was the pastrami sausage appetizer! Never in a million years did I imagine that would be as good as it was!
All in all this was a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to go back.

My husband and I came to The Butcher’s Tale on a whim before a performance at The Orpheum. It was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in the Twin Cities. Our server, Johnna, was incredibly attentive and helpful. She offered suggestions that made the meal even better than we could have expected. The jalapeños with peanut butter cream cheese were amazing. The pork chop was a work of art. The entire experience was amazing. We really enjoyed, and are excited to go back to try other menu items as well!

We ordered oysters, truffle fries, along with the 16oz center cut new York steak. Decent but you gotta like fire wood stove/grill. Our steak was a bit burnt on the edges and sides but the center was cooked to temp.

My wife and I stopped here for dinner before a show at the Orpheum and I’m super glad we did. Food was spectacular, drinks were excellent, and we enjoyed our server who was also a bartender. Highly recommend the long rib and filet mignon! The bananas foster french toast is also excellent. Portions are massive, so this will be dinner for another night as well
