Had a great time, wonderful food at a gorgeous place! The food was beautiful and the drinks were beautiful as well loved the sausage platter and the beef tartare honestly might be the star of the night if I may say! Our main dishes and side dishes were wonderful but was a bit salty for me. The server was nice but it felt somewhat not fully organized here and there but again still had a great time and didn’t affect the night. I will say the food quality was wonderful and fresh and all the meats were super tender and juicy!! So highly recommend!

We came here really looking forward to a simple, special New Year’s dinner. The service was kind and the ambiance was great, but the food felt a bit overworked for what it was. Both the steak and the pork chop were buried under heavy sauce and large amounts of garnish, which made it hard to just enjoy the quality of the meat. On top of that, the pork chop was unfortunately quite dry and overcooked, which really took away from the experience.
From someone who really loves and appreciates good food, sometimes restraint shows more confidence than complexity. A great cut of meat does not need to be hidden under layers of flavors. It just needs to be cooked well and allowed to shine. Cleaner plating, lighter saucing, and more attention to doneness would make a big difference.
For the price point $200, we expected something more focused, balanced, and truly special, especially for New Year’s.

Moving reviews from Yelp. Originally published 10/22/16 and I’m guessing they relocated to this address since I visited last.
One of the best meals I’ve had this year, without a doubt!
I came here with some co-workers and the boss for dinner. We didn’t have a reservation but we did arrive early enough (1730) that we scored 6 seats around the corner of the bar. In the 15-20 minutes between our arrival and when the rest of the group showed up we probably had a dozen parties try to snare the empty bar stools. By the time we ordered dinner the standing-room only crowd at the bar was about 3-deep.
This place has a ton of great reviews so I’m just going to call out a couple of items since the portions were huge and I got a bite or two of a few different things:
+ Three sausage sampler could have been dinner for two people if you added a side dish. All were delicious but my favorite was the one with cheddar inside. Not flecks of cheddar, whole chunks. Yum!
+ Wedge salad is different than I’ve had other places. Picture a small head of lettuce, cut into quarters. Add some creamy and flavor-packed bleu cheese crumbles, a house-made creamy dressing and chunks of thick-cut bacon as large as a woman’s little finger. The bacon is smoky, slightly charred and cooked to that point right between floppy and crispy such that the flavor is fully developed. Wow!
+ Beef rib…yes, it’s just one to an order but it had about 17 ounces of meat on it. Cooked perfectly tender, almost along the lines of pot roast, very flavorful and juicy.
+ Pork chop – this dish won the night! I have never had a smoked pork chop so tender and juicy. I loved the piggy flavor combined with the slight smokiness and the sweetness of the sauce.
I may well have ordered the least expensive entree at the table when I selected their fresh catch of the day. It was two pan-fried fillets of Mediterranean Sea Bass atop a corn hash for $35. Served skin-side up to showcase how crispy and light the skin became as it seared, it was very good but slightly overcooked.
Without a doubt this was the very best meal I’ve ever consumed while sitting at a bar.

Food, atmosphere, service all amazing! Definitely the place for a meat eater! Portions are large family style. Between 3 guys we got the Pork Chop and the Beef Rib along with 2 sides, mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was plenty of food for the 3 of us.

Fantastic smoked meats and sausages! We’ve been here many times and always enjoy the sausage platter. The sausages are huge, flavorful, and each one comes paired with a great side dish, like elote. The servers were also incredibly friendly with our baby—when we asked for a spoon, they brought out several options without hesitation. There’s plenty of street parking nearby, and they also offer valet.

Yum!!! If you are a lover of smoked meats order the pork chop. It was absolutely incredible. We had a hot link sausage as an appetizer but would come back to do a sampler as a meal because it was so delicious. I’m not usually a fan of beans but these were the best I’ve had. We had great service and enjoyed the atmosphere. It was our first time here but will be going back again.

Dinner and atmosphere was amazing. Food was delicious and drinks were good also. Our waitress seemed to forget about us here and there as we had to wave her down instead of being waited on which was frustrating however it didn’t impact my feelings on the lovely dinner. Would recommend.

This is my first time in Minneapolis and this restaurant definitely one of the highlights. Sat outside and the weather was nice. The restaurant was located in a nice neighborhood, very cozy. The steak tartar is out of this world. The cold smoked beef gave the tartar a great layer of depth and great flavor. The smoked pork belly is absolutely a must have. Also smoked, the outside is super crispy and the inside is super moist and tender. It’s pork belly but it wasn’t greasy. The beef long rib was amazing as well and visually impressive. Absolutely delicious! The stuff were super friendly and the music was great. If I have to complain the only complaint I’d have is how the beer was served in a plastic glass lol. And the chairs outside can be more comfortable, add cushions maybe? And more recline so people can lay back

The Butcher and the Boar has now been twice a memorable experience in my life. It was the site of the first dinner I had in a group called TimeLeft which changed my life at a very traumatic time. Some time later, Valentines Day 2026, it was the site for my proposal to my fiancée. One of the managers there, Jackie, was nice enough to find us seating when none was available. She made it possible for me to propose and made our night magical! The cuisine was delicious and the service extraordinary! I hope to return here many years to come and relive the experience. I highly recommend this place to others. Cheers!
