Food was good, atmosphere good. Only problem is the noise level!!!! We couldn't hear anyone at our own table.

First time at the Battleground Butcher and I will definitely return. The friendly service set BBB apart the minute I walked in. You not only feel like a guest, but an old friend. This former oil change building has been revitalized into a neighborhood meeting place. Large garage doors and high ceiling create an open and airy atmosphere which makes the space feel larger than it actually is. An outside sitting area adds to the neighborhood hangout feeling. We found the food to be excellent. While not on the menu, if you desire a steak, you can select one from the meat case and have it grilled to your desired temperature. Add a couple sides and you have a great steak dinner. There's also a good selection of salads and sandwiches on the menu. Everything our group tried was excellent. No neighborhood hangout would be complete without a full bar. BBB has a good selection of beers on tap and makes great cocktails. On site parking is limited despite the fact that I saw many people walking over from the Westerwood neighborhood and the Latham park direction. Parking is available in lots across the street if you're not lucky enough to grab one on site. read more

An absolute amazing experience. Went for a girls dinner and had an amazing time. Seating is indoors or outdoors. You want in to a view of the meat case in front of you and a dessert case to your right. We started with the butcher board and whipped ricotta. Both served with toasted bread. The butcher board had a good variety of options and the ricotta was mixed well with pesto and tomatoes. Overall we ordered the smash burger, brisket sandwich and Italian chicken for our entrees. I had the brisket and the combination of flavors was perfect. My friend that got the burger said it was the best smash burger she's ever had. The friend who got the Italian chicken sandwich loved hers as well. The service was outstanding. Everything was well paced and came out accurately. I can't wait to go back to try some other menu items! read more

I'm so in love with this new restaurant. I've now been 3 times and cannot get over how every single item I have purchased is "THE BEST EVER". It's bustling so don't go when you're in a hurry. The service is great but there will likely be a wait for a table. I love the high ceilings and decor. Evidently it used to be a gas station or a car service center. You can tell when someone tells you that. What an innovative spot to put a restaurant. Besides all the great items on the menu, you can also buy items to take home and cook. It's the real deal meats and cuts! It did take me a couple times figuring out how to get to the restaurant so you may need GPS to figure out how to get to the parking lot. Thanks for a wonderful dinner. This is now my go to spot to meet up with friends. read more

OMG I normally don't do 5s on the first visit but the food was amazing! Let me go ahead and let you know to pack your patience for parking. In fact, carpool. There are high top and low top tables. We went during lunch. I don't like doing reviews like this because have to give up the gems. But baby! Those steak tip skewers?? Oooh wee! Get them. We requested medium because I have not graduated to eating medium rare. If you're a medium well person like me then you'll be fine. Eat the smaller pieces on the skewer. Bae got the smash burger with fries. Yeah. He can be a burger snob too! He said it was perfect just as it was. I got the brisket sandwich. I delicious mix of fat and lean. Definitely going back for dinner to see what the vibe is about in the evenings. Also there is a full bar but it was during the work day so we we behaved and had water to drink. read more

Great atmosphere with both indoors & outdoors seating. Massive bar that dominates the space with two counter butcher bar. Service at the bar is great but less friendly once seated at the table. Food is simple but yet high quality! Parking is very limited considering the soda shop is not yet open. Considered parking at various building but crossing traffic risk was too much. read more

Tried Butcher Bar and loved the atmosphere! They have a large patio with an open-air feel that makes it a great spot to hang out. I got the Italian sandwich on semolina bread with the pesto pasta salad. The bread was delicious, and the sandwich was good, but I wish there had been a little more meat and a bit more flavor. The pesto pasta salad was super creamy, so if you love pesto, you'll definitely love this! I also had a bite of my husband's filet steak sandwich, and it was SO good! Honestly, I might have to get that next time. Overall, a great atmosphere and a solid spot to check out! read more

Very good experience. It is loud so be prepared for that. Nice selection of on tap beers and high end liquors. We had yummy chicken sandwiches. Unfortunately they were out of sweet potato fries after a busy weekend but regular fries and pesto pasta salad were good. read more

"Show me the meat!" What an amazing new spot that just opened on a stretch of Battleground Ave that really needed something like this. An absolutely wonderful new joint. We came once for dinner and it was packed. Came back for lunch, packed again. And for good reason. The food is outstanding. If you come here for only one thing, come for the steak tips with chimichurri sauce. Seriously. The prime steak is perfectly cooked, beautiful char on the outside with a tender and juicy inside. The chimichurri is out of this world and complements the meat perfectly. I honestly don't think I can come here and not get this as an appetizer each and every time. It's that good. Now for the brisket sandwich. You can tell how much love went into this slow smoked meat. Smoky and juicy with an amazing outer bark and melt in your mouth meat underneath. Pair it with the onions, pickles and BBQ sauce and you've got one heck of a sandwich. The sweet potato fries on the side were perfect as well. Crispy, hot, tender and super tasty. The space is excellent. Huge bar, great atmosphere and a super friendly staff. Remember this place just opened, but the staff already has this thing running like a well oiled machine that seems like it's been here for a decade. Both times we came the place was packed and they didn't miss a beat. Add in a great outdoor patio plus an awesome garage door bar that opens up and faces both inside and outside, and you have the perfect place to relax, eat great food and enjoy some great drinks. And speaking of drinks, they've got beer, wine, cocktails and, most importantly for some of us, a great selection of bourbons. Definitely plan ahead because this place is already super popular. A wait should be expected especially during peak hours, but trust me it's well worth it and then some. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Battleground Butcher Bar has officially earned a spot in our short list rotation. read more

Battleground Butcher Bar is located just outside of downtown Greensboro in a former auto shop. Husband-and-wife North Carolina natives Jordan and Taylor opened it on September 10, 2026. It's a phenomenal blend of a local butcher and a corner restaurant. Whether you are looking for the perfect cut of meat or seafood for a special occasion or want to catch up with friends over cocktails and a meal, the Battleground Butcher Bar will be your new go-to. My husband and I met my family for lunch, and we had to try out this new local spot. The service and food were fantastic. We got two burgers, the Cuban and the hot Italian, all with seasoned fries as a side. The burger meat is ground in-house, and the patties are seasoned to perfection. The hot Italians and Cuban came out pressed with just the right amount of crispiness. If you are in the area, I recommend checking out and supporting this new local establishment. Don't forget to check out the selection of locally sourced refrigerated and pantry items also available for purchase. read more

Went in to try the Butcher Bar Smashburger and I was not disappointed. It was delicious. Toppings were sautéed onions and pickles. Meat was cooked to perfection and blended well with the Toppings. Bun was nicely toasted. Servers were friendly. Definitely going back to try out more items on the menu. read more

If you come here during the lunch or dinner rush be prepared to wait. Nice conversion from a former auto shop to a restaurant, but it is small with limited parking. Got here at 2:30 on a Tuesday and it was packed even at the bar. Had the corned beef sandwich, and my husband had the pulled pork. Both were excellent and great portion size. Lots of flavor and served just right. read more

I am always excited to see a new restaurant open in Greensboro. We have made it out here twice now and the food has not disappointed us. We have tried to bring friends with us but the wait times have been a bit to long since they have just recently opened. This is not a bring a party of 20 establishment. Table tops are 2 and 4 seaters with a pretty bar that stretches almost the length of the restaurant. Which by the way, was a service station when I was a kid. They have done an amazing job remodeling. It is open and airy with a lively atmosphere. Parking is a little tight when they are busy. When the weather is nice, they can definitely accommodate more people with their spacious patio seating. I believe you can order food and eat outside but there is not table service on the patio. I am going to break this review up into 2 parts for our 2 visits. We first made it out there the second weekend they were open. It was about a 45 minute wait but we found a spot to sit out front so it wasn't terrible. Our server was very busy but she was friendly and attentive. Our appetizer of chimichurri steak tip skewers came out in record time, cooked perfectly. Our sandwiches followed shortly afterwards. I was impressed with the turn time given how busy they were and with them being a new restaurant. The highlight of that evening for me was the Italian chicken sandwich which is basically a caprese with a delicious cutlet of breaded fried chicken, prosciutto, pesto, burrata, arugula, tomato, served on fresh ciabatta. Delicious!! The fries were standard but a good portion. My husband got the filet sandwich cooked, rare with provolone, arugula, red onion, horsey sauce, on ciabatta with hot chips. Also a hit. We ate and got out of there. No one needs to be camping out at a table when there is a line out the door. We have tried to get back in for dinner a few more times but the hour wait times were a bit too long for us so. We decided to stop by for lunch on a cool rainy Saturday. There was still a bit of a wait but it was to be expected since the patio was closed. I think we probably only waited 15-20 minutes because the hostess (owner) let us know that 2 seats had opened up at the bar which was greatly appreciated since the bar is first come first serve. We decided to try the dry rub jerk wings as our appetizer. I was worried that they were going to be a little too soft for my liking but I was pleasantly surprised that they were a little crisp. They were cooked well and had a good flavor. The blue cheese was not as thick as what I am used to but it was very good and I would say preferred because it didn't overpower the flavor of the wings. My husband has been talking about the filet sandwich since we ate there weeks ago so naturally, he ordered it again. I decided to try the smoked brisket sandwich served with white cheddar, red onion, garlic mayo, pickle, bbq sauce, on Texas toast with sweet potato waffle fries. The fries were a little dry and but it didnt stop me from eating them all. The brisket is a nice cut and the pickles on the sandwich were delicious. The winner side for both visits were the hot chips. I don't think you can ever go wrong with hot chips and ranch. The butcher case up front has beautiful cuts of meat and there are other sauces, pasta, wines, and other grab and go accouterments on shelves throughout the restaurant to complete a meal to cook at home. They also have tasty looking slices of cakes, sausages, bacon, bottled drinks in refrigerated cases up front. Overall, delicious food. Love what they have done with the building. Expect a little bit of a wait while they are new if you come for dinner. It is nice to see a new restaurant run successfully in our area. read more

Came here for the first time on a Friday night but definitely won't be the last. Just delicious all around. Guess it is a limited menu right now (but not that limited - 15ish sandwiches) and you can pick out your own steak in the butcher counter and they will cook it for you. Later on, planning to add "more substantial" entrees to the menu. Cool blend of inside and outside space. Was quoted 20-30 minutes for a table later on a Friday night and then a spot opened up at the bar and got just perfect service there instead read more

This place popped up out of nowhere for me in a former gas station/auto repair shop on Battleground, owned and operated by Kau's former owner. I was excited for the return of the deli and a restaurant featuring those items. My hubby and I chose outside seating on a late, busy Saturday. Ample parking, but the lot is small. Service was good, but they are still working out some kinks; i.e., no cocktail menu or special cocktail offerings was definitely a miss. My smash burger was ok but it needed some salt, and the cheese was burnt. The corned beef sandwich was tasty but a little dry. The sandwich probably could have used more juice or mustard. I had to ask for ketchup three times before I got it, even though I specifically asked to sub the honey mustard that came with my sweet potato fries for ketchup when ordering. In fact, as I was writing this review, my husband mentioned that they charged an extra .50 cents for the ketchup. That alone literally changes my whole perspective of this new restaurant. Who in the world charges you extra for a cup of ketchup for fries? Did they credit me for the honey mustard that I didn't want? . Yeah, just based on that alone, I won't be back. read more

Heard that this was a newer place, so we gave it a try and it didn't disappoint! Right when we came in the place is nice, open, clean, and great staff! We got seated immediately and ordered drinks and food and everything was absolutely awesome! I got the brisket, and have to highly recommend this. All of our food was nothing but the highest quality. We come to the city about once a year to visit family, and this place is definitely somewhere we will be coming back to! read more

I had the corned beef sandwich and an order of wings. The corned beef sandwich was OK a little dry. It needs something else on it. The wings with the dry rub were good. My friend had the steak and cheese and it tasted like a pile of roast beef between two piece pieces of bread. Not impressive at all. That and a couple pieces of desserts and with tip the bill came to $103. Way too high for bar food. This reminds me why I stopped going to Kau There was a wait in the parking lot is small but the service was friendly and decent read more

We made it! It's Friday evening, the laptops are closed and unplugged. We decided it was time to venture out. Butcher Bar had been on our list. We pulled up to a FULL parking lot with folks waiting outside...good sign! While we waited, Christina made me an Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve that literally warmed my soul. At that point, I was hooked. We were seated and sipped on Troublemaker - beer. Enter Shae. She took great care of us! She was kind, welcoming, had a beautiful smile, flawless skin and the cutest curls. (This is a restaurant review, but I notice things). We started with the jerk wings, and BABY...those wings came with some jerk ATTITUDE. We licked our fingers and ate all the celery and carrot. For dinner, we ordered the Cobb salad and the Arugula salad. Don't judge us...it was after 8 PM and we were simply trying to behave. We've already agreed that next time we return we are gonna order one of those big ol' meaty sandwiches! The spot may be tiny, but she is MIGHTY. Thank you, Butcher Bar, for doing what you do. We'll see you again soon...PS we sat inside but their outside is cool as well. read more

Our lunch at Battleground Butcher Bar was great! We enjoyed Brisket sandwich and the Cuban sandwich. Both were delicious, with the brisket sandwich coming in first place! Lunch was busy (11:45) but we were seated quickly and were able to enjoy the outdoor patio! Before we left, we took a look at the butcher window & will be back to purchase a cut of meat! We highly recommend Battleground Butcher Bar! read more

Fabulous Food. Great service despite a very crowded and bustling business. Great atmosphere and people waiting in line to get a table...

We were greeted by a friendly staff member upon arrival. We sat at the bar and was quickly greeted there by our server. A bartender took our drink order and delivered our drinks promptly. We ordered the beef skewers to share and a small house salad each. The food came out in reasonable time. And the food... oh my goodness! The beef was so tender and well seasoned. You could cut it with a fork. The salads were just the right size for us. It was such a delicious meal. I had an old fashion after my meal and it was spot on! I'm already looking forward to our next visit. I love the casual and relaxed atmosphere. read more

Turned away at 6:45 because the kitchen closes at 7pm for a 8pm closure. You'd think a new business would welcome new customers. Bad look. Hesitant to give them another try. read more

Yuuuupppp!!! Everything tastes like it did in the "old days". Had a club sandwich and savored every bite. Super friendly staff and a neat environment. Highly recommended! Worth the money, a term rarely used these days. read more
