Best breakfast and best price. Also best burger. Heck, best food in the area. Not a lot of tables so expect a wait. Good time, great food!

Highlands Butchery - Raw meat that was supposed to be Medium Rare. Cold meat throughout.

Highlands Butchery

Highlands Butchery delivers an excellent dining experience overall, earning a solid 4.5 out of 5…read morefor the visit described. The combination of attentive service, high-quality steaks, and a standout bourbon selection makes it a spot worth seeking out in Valdese.[1][2][3] ## Service and Hospitality Austin provided friendly, knowledgeable service, with spot-on recommendations and consistent follow-up throughout the meal, which really elevated the evening. The staff quickly seated the party of four and acknowledged the celebration for the wife's birthday, helping the night feel special from the start. When one filet needed a bit more sear, the owner personally stepped in, oversaw the re-fire, and had it returned to the table cooked perfectly. That level of ownership and responsiveness showed real commitment to **hospitality**. ## Food and Preparation Entrées arrived beautifully plated and cooked to appropriate temperatures, which is especially important at a butcher-driven concept known for its meats. The corrected filet came back with the ideal sear and doneness, reinforcing confidence in the kitchen's skill.[2][1] Portioning and presentation aligned with expectations for a farm-to-table steakhouse, highlighting the quality of their locally sourced meats.[3][1] ## Bourbon Library The bourbon library is a major highlight, offering an impressive selection of hard-to-find bottles that adds a distinctive draw for whiskey lovers. It pairs perfectly with their meat-focused menu and makes Highlands Butchery feel like a destination, not just a neighborhood spot.[4][1][2] Having such depth behind the bar also supports Austin's recommendations, allowing guests to explore pours they may not encounter elsewhere. ## Atmosphere and Noise The only real drawback of the evening was the room volume, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. Given how popular and lively the space can be, some additional noise baffles or acoustic treatments could help deaden the sound and make the dining room more comfortable without losing the energetic vibe. With that one improvement, this experience would easily move from a 4.5 to a full 5 out of 5, especially given the strength of the service, food, and bourbon program!

My husband got food poisoning that was severe after eating there on the evening of 4/24/2026.read more

So I can't begin to tell you how much I wish this was a 5 star rating. The menu choices looked…read moreAMAZING. Unfortunately we never got that far. Upon arrival on a Saturday morning a nice young man quickly seated us at a table and said "your waitress will be right with you". And it went straight downhill from there. To set the stage, besides my wife and I there were two other couples ... so 6 people at 3 tables. 2 waitresses and it looked like 5 more people at the bar and in the kitchen. The employees outnumbered the customers. We sat and looked over the menu. Choices looked INCREDIBLE!! One waitress was covering each of the other two tables. So they each had one. We waited in excess of ten minutes and no one even acknowledged our existence. No "I'll be right with you". No "what would you like to drink?" No "let me get you some waters" We watched our waitress passed right by us no less than five times (her other table was right next to ours). The last time, when she went behind the bar and started sipping a drink and looked right at us ... we got up and left. Now everyone is allowed to have a bad day. And we will go back and give them a second chance and will gladly change this 1 star rating. But this is a small family run restaurant in a building that has been dozens of other things over the years. Reasonable customer service is a must. And not speaking to customers at all is unacceptable. So we'll go back and try again and we're hoping this is a one off and this restaurant is very successful.

My wife and I visited here and we are glad we did! Food and food choices were fantastic. Items not…read morenormally found in this area. My salmon was cooked as I asked and very tasty. Service was welcoming and prompt. Glen Alpine Station has my vote. We live very close and look forward to visiting often.
