"One of the best BBQ places I’ve eaten at. You can really taste the flavour and the sides were amazing. Had the pork shoulder with hush puppies and my boyfriend had the smoked half chicken with crispy yams. We literally inhaled the food and we ended up happy and satisfied. To top of the amazing food we also were greeted with great and friendly staff members. One of the best experiences and would definitely come back for more!"

"Butchies definitely a one of a kind place. It was clean, cheerful and more than inviting. The staff was friendly and shared their enthusiasm for what they were providing. Loved the pulled pork sandwich, And the hamburger was the best we’ve ever eaten. The mac & cheese was a little salty but still tasty. And the homemade lemonade was promised to be tart, but was still way too sweet. Can’t wait to go again. Too bad we don’t live closer. It was a bit pricey."

"First time trying Butchie's. Got the Nashville fried chicken sandwich with fries and wifey got the buttermilk chicken wings with yam. Both were great, chicken sandwich was juicy, flavourful and had the right amount of kick to it. Chicken wings were crunchy on the outside and juicy in the inside. Ranch dip was great with the wings and the dill with the yam was on point.
We also got the mini egg milkshake and it was not too sweet.
Just a heads up that it can be a bit of wait for your food."
