Was not expecting what was inside! Beautiful interior. Very glad we stopped here for lunch. Burgers were huge and delicious! Nice staff. Soup and salad bar with meal. Very large spread. Bread was hard as a rock, I wish they had single serve rolls instead of cut it your self loaves. read more

Butcher Block - Yum yum - Steakhouses Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

we made a reservation a few days before because it was New Year's Eve. when we arrived they did not have the reservation and told us it would be a 30-60 minute wait. we went to the bar and the hostess said she'd come get us when a table was ready. after 45 minutes same could see empty tables so my husband went to ask and they said they already seated our party. OBVIOUSLY not. we were seated immediately and then waited 20 minutes before we asked for wait staff. The Ladies room was dirty/messy. The salad bar had no plates available. Then 20 minutes later our meals came but never our appetizer we ordered. Food was delicious. Service was horrible. Yes it was New years eve but they were unprepared and the hostess was unable to do her job properly. read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant, and the food was very overpriced for what it is. $14 for a burger meal. I asked for it to be cooked medium-well and received rare on the inside, burnt on the outside. The fries were cold with a texture like rubber sticks with no salt. read more

Food price / quality rating 8.5. Atmosphere is like a barn reproduction. I had prime rib, which was as good as prime rib can be, and the wife had a salad and soup (chicken jalapeno and corn chowder) that was very different and delicious. Service was very good, and the prices were reasonable. read more

My daughter, wife and I were very pleased with the food and service here at The Butcher Block. This restaurant is the sister restaurant of Lake George's The Log Jam which we have frequented many times. We thought that this food and menu we're much better with similar items as well as items not found on the Jammer menu. (A huge plus) super friendly service! Prime rib salad bar and a to die for burger is what we had. Thanks for a great evening! read more

Food is good. I like the salad bar. It isn't a foodie place but decent. I do not recommend the escargots. Service is very good.

The staff was very good but the hostess was a bit overwhelmed. The salad and soup bar is well worth the price of admission. The steaks were good as were the sides. Although I must say it was the oddest preparation of asparahras ever. A but pricey. But overall I would still recommend it read more

Butcher Block - a table and chairs in a restaurant - Steakhouses Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

Porterhouse steak was nothing but fat, price's are extremely expensive for what you get.

Well I can say very overpriced food was what was food was fair but best of all I ordered the steamed clams they served dead clams. never ever again will I go there read more

We came here for dinner. The total cost of the dinner was $64. i had a pumpkin ale which i enjoyed. For dinner I had the lobster mac & cheese. They did an excellent job preparing this dish. In addition, the seafood bisque soup was delicious. My wife had the chicken sandwich and she said it was delicious. The customer service was excellent and the place was clean. I do recommend butcher block for dinner. read more

This restaurant is not recommended. To start the water glasses were all dirty and food has no flavor. For the price of the plates it would be better off to go out to fast food. The service is subpar and no drink menu was offered. read more

Great food great service, angry atmosphere. This is our regular spot for several years now never a single issue.

My mom and I went here for lunch today and sadly we probably won't be back. I had ordered the steamed clams for us to share but our waitress I guess must of misheard me and we got two orders of them. Our waitress Kelly did not seem very happy to be serving us but the two women behind us had exemplary service from her. We couldn't even finish all of our clams as they were very tough and chewy. We both ordered the French dip sandwich but were surprised that it had no cheese or anything but the meat and aus jus. They also serve chips instead of fries which was disappointing to say the least. We felt ignored the entire time and like they couldn't wait to get us out. I don't know if Covid caused them to go down hill but they are not what they used to be. read more

Service was great, the food however was no where near worth what I was charged. Prime Rib with Scallops (Surf and Turf) $46, the PR was probably a 12 oz cut over cooked, but more edible than the scallops. Scallops we're the size of a penny in diameter and tasted disgusting. The server took away the scallops uneaten and didn't even ask if there was an issue.... Will not return, the salad bar was good. read more

Not impressed. Over priced, over rated food. Lackluster staff. The salad bar was disgusting and that was during the pandemic. It was a birthday lunch for me given by my mom, aunt's and cousins. I will not go back. read more

This is where I go in Plattsburgh when I want a burger! Hands down one of the best and you can't beat the added value of the salad bar! The service is always great awesome beer selections and the burgers are off the chain! read more

Very friendly staff. Chicken bruschetta mashed potatoes with green beans was fantastic a large portion too. Craft beer selection was great, Dave's Pale Ale excellent. Beaver Bite Ipa great too. I will return read more

so my friends made the Mis take of bringing me here as a Surprise for my Birthday. I have worked at Restaurants, Fast Food, volunteered at Church Soup Kitchens, Harvest Dinners. seriously ?? Who Owns this place ? How are you a Steakhouse and you serve a near Raw steak, when medium was ordered? How is a baked potato barely warm, cold Green beans-i left hungry! So if your price point is this High, you need to deliver. everything was awful. salad bar, the basics of Pasta salad, can't even be made by the cooks I guess. huge waste of money, and I can't ever go back. my heart sank when we pulled up there. everyone I know says the same exact thing. what a waste of what should be a good place!! No excuse , place wasn't busy, you might as well Steal Our Money at the door ! read more

Coming here was kind of reminiscent of visits to cookys and beefsteak Charlie's back in the 1980s with the salad bar and bread etc. And that's a good thing for those of you born after 1989. This is primarily a steakhouse but there are other offerings. My steak was cooked to perfection and besides the salad and bread there was also soup, maple bacon soup, which was delicious So if you come here it's like one foot in 1982 and one foot in 2017. I would certainly return! read more

what's below one? Total s---t show. Horible uninvolved staff. Salad bars mess and disgusting ( had hair in my salad). Wife Carmen home vomiting that night. The steak was microwaved. Nobody gave a crap. pay t bill and GTFO! read more

A standard in Plattsburgh. Always good food and excellent service. A favorite of ours when in Town. Been going there for many years.

Went here for the happy hour deal from 3-4 with about 20 of my friends. The waiter, Tyler was fantastic! He was very accommodating dealing with 20 annoying girls celebrating graduation. The happy hour includes 2 for 1 specials on draft beers and well drinks. The happy hour also has a special menu of half priced apps, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. 10/10 recommend! read more

My wife and I had an amazing experience here. I typically don't order big steaks in NY, but I gambled with the bone-in Ribeye. Absolutely worth it! It was an amazing steak, cooked to perfection. My wife's prime rib wasn't quite as flavorful, but it was exactly as a prime rib should be cooked. The bread/salad/soup bar is a really cool addition...a special treat. However, the bar can be a meal of its own. I was overwhelmed with food, and it was all amazing. Service was on point!!! read more

Whoa, whoa, whoa Butcher Block. Although this restaurant is large, it's so rustic that it feels much more intimate. It's going for the hunting lodge type vibe. Did I mention the salad bar? Hence why we went since I love me a good salad bar. We sat at the bar area that was filled with French speakers since we're so close to the Quebec border; what a great Valentine's Day surprise. As a s salad bar connoisseur, not gonna lie, it's not the best I've seen. Although there were at least 5-6 different type of deli style salads from potato to pasta to broccoli, great homemade bread and a nice vat of soup, the rest of the bar was a bit shabby. More veggies please! The breakdown works out like this: $10 for salad bar or every entree comes with a salad bar. I opted for the shrimp scampi for $16. That is a crap load of food for a good price. The shrimp scampi was mediocre at best. The man ordered the French onion soup which wasn't up to par at all. That good deal doesn't sound as good, it's true. The highlight? The butcher block with a big ole hunk of cheddar cheese that you can slice off and grab some crackers, free! Prices are super reasonable, the setting is warm & rustic and totally makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere in upstate NY near the Canadian border, totally I. A good way. Not sure the competitive restaurant landscape in Plattsburgh, NY, but this ain't a bad pit stop! read more

I have no idea why this restaurant has only 3 stars!!! It deserves 5 all the way from atmosphere to their amazing menu!!! Our waiter Robert was right on track; really attentive & courteous! The Limoncello liquor and the Raspberry Ricky were the best drinks, so refreshing for a summer night! We had the buffalo chicken flatbread for an appetizer...it had a kick just like it should. Our dinners were all delicious: we started with a salad & bread (both great) mac n cheese & shrimp scampi (lite portion) for the kids & French Onion soup plus NY strip for my man! But the Chorizo & sweet potato tacos were out of this world! They may be an acquired taste but everyone should take a risk & give them a shot...they won't be disappointed! For dessert we shared the toll house cookie sundae...enough for 4, even though only 3 shared... scrumptious!!! So whoever doesn't think the Butcher Block should be rated one of the BEST places in Plattsburgh is clearly wrong & should go back and try again...xoxo read more

My husband and I loved this place! Great service, very quick and thorough! Everyone there was extremely pleasant. Great service all and all! The salad bar is huge! They had tons of soups to choose from as well! We will definitely visit there again in the near future. read more

Walked in on a whim, traveling through town. The Cuban Black Bean soup they had on special blew me away. They are entering it into a stew festival and should do extremely well. Truly one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. Ribs were very good as well. read more

My husband and I ate here on our trip to Plattsburgh. It was recommended by the staff at LaQuinta hotel. The food was good. The prime rib was the best every!! I learned that you shouldn't order chinese food at a steak house! Would definitely go again when in the area read more

Only been there a few times, but every time we've gone the food is just been mediocre. Way overpriced for what you get. The service was fair at the best. I would not recommend. read more

First time here. Our steaks were great and the service exemplary (our waiter leveled our wobbly table without needing to be asked while we were at the salad bar!). The happy hour is as advertised, "the best on town" and featured 2 for 1 drafts including my favorite Brown's Brewing Oatmeal Stout. My only complaint is that we were seated just off the bar area which was very noisy on a Friday afternoon. I would have preferred sitting in the adjacent dining room which had cozy wood booths and was much quieter. The experience brought back pleasant memories of the Butcher Block in Albany which closed years ago. read more

first time there, and the last. got there at 2:30, told to have a seat and drink as there menu changes at 3:00. ordered shrimp scampi, the worst I have ever had. service was not great and would not go again. read more

To this day this is still one of my Gold Standards when it comes to steak (on par with steak i have been served in Texas). Friendly service, fast despite busy night, food was excellent. Loved the decor and environment, highly recommend to everyone! I sat at the bar and was provided excellent service. Unfortunate that they had a problem with their keg cooler and tap system that night but i wont hold it against them. Hopefully they will have that sorted out the next time i visit! read more

Steak was really good, maybe a little passed where I wanted it to be done but that's ok. Waiter was very patient and service was excellent.

This place is the worst I have ever had in my 58 years! Gross! Petite Prime Rib looked like a cancerous liver! Au jus was brown tasteless water! the entire meal was inedible! For real! $105 for disgusting food. I literally could not choke down 2 bites. when you know you know!! read more

Reminded me of steak houses the way the used to be! Food was great and service was even better! We were only in town for one night-glad we found it! read more

No, just no....not good. Specialize in steaks but are terrible at it. Tasteless, and just not good. Need a zero star option. Sorry. #BuddhaReview read more

Great steakhouse in Plattsburgh. Good salad bar, nice and tasty steaks. The salad bar always has an original and typical American soup, along with good fresh bread. Service is fine too. This is our must-go everything we go in New York State. read more

Pleasantly surprised to find this great inexpensive eat by the Cottage. Husband has been coming here for years and finally introduced me to it. Our waitress Olivia is fantastic; super friendly, informative and helpful. I am a bit of a picky eater and both Olivia and the chef were able to modify the menu for me. I had grilled salmon with some citrus and cilantro on top. The fish was cooked perfectly. I also had the salad bar which had a little bit of everything on it. I tasted my daughter's Mediterranean bowl and will definitely try that another time. Husband and son shared wings and mozzarella sticks. Had to sample that as well. The happy hour here is a win win. The menu has so many choices to choose from. I will return when I am back in the area. read more

I agree, the food is OK. Not quite sure about the 'butter' that was served for dipping seafood etc. The vegetables were a generous portion and quite nice. What really stands out for me is the cocktails I ordered. They were mostly drink mix and exceedingly sickly sweet. Just, wow. I visited twice maybe a year ago and have not been back since. The first time I enjoyed my meal... but I do think that they could use higher value inputs. Real butter...less drink mix. So, if you go they do have good happy hour specials. If you don't like overly sweet drinks, ask them to hold off on the the drink mix or keep it to a minimum. I had a good top shelf margarita. This is what I have done at Applebees but the drinks were even sweeter here. read more
