FINALLY! got the chance to go try this place out. As we walked through the doors what did I smell?? Smoke, yep the sweet sweet smell of meats smokin' on the pit. I went in big like a starving hostage and ordered a half rack of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, a Habanero Jalapeño Cheddar sausage link and a side of mac and F'n Cheese! My wife, she had the pulled chicken and a salad. First taste was the brisket, gotta go in for the brisket. The bark was so flavorful and there was the distinct smoke flavor. Unlike another place I've been to, this place was smoke forward and that's the vibe I like. Not bitter, but a good smoke. The pulled pork was out of this world and the ribs were just about perfect. Not fall off the bone but a great clean bite through. I know, I know everyone wants fall off the bone but hear me out, THAT'S JUST OVERCOOKED! Now let's talk about this sausage. If you aren't prepared for some serious heat (I should have known by the name) don't be a hero here. That link is damn hot. Like satan's b-hole hot. Flavor is amazing but it's hot as pawnshop wedding ring. I gotta say this place has got my attention. Not that it need my attention particularly, but you have it anyway. When I go to a BBQ restaurant, I want to taste smoke. That's what I'm there for. Butcher's Kitchen did not dissapoint. THEN!! the best part of the night was when they brought me and my wife back and showed us the smokers!! Like wizard of oz, ruby slippers, man behind the curtain sh*t, they showed me the damn smokers! Gave us the full tour of their amazing pits. Top notch man, top notch! You have a forever fan here. I will not rest until I've tasted everything on that menu twice over. Thank you so very much for your food and your hospitality. Continue to do what you do. Oh and the girl loved the chicken and salad, truly. Smoke and Destroy!! read more

Nice little BBQ spot in Reno! I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon and was definitely in the mood for some BBQ. The inside is cozy and has a really welcoming, family-style feel to it. I went with the brisket and spare ribs, and both were tender and flavorful. The house BBQ sauce paired really well with the meat and added a nice touch. For the sides, I tried the macaroni salad and potato salad. The macaroni salad was good, while the potato salad wasn't necessarily my personal favorite, but that's just my preference, and it's still probably worth giving it a try. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. The food was good, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely a solid little spot to check out if you're in Reno and looking for some BBQ. read more

Our golf group dined at Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-Que in Reno. I ordered the Prime Rib Tips with a side of Cornbread and Potato Salad. The group thoroughly enjoyed the quality of food, great service, and casual atmosphere. The staff were some of the most friendly and welcoming we've experienced here in Reno. Note: indoor and outdoor seating was comfortable. The "garage door" separating the indoor and outdoor dining area was open which made the space feel big. read more

Char B Que has breakfast. They offer a breakfast sandwich with choice of protein/ meat; Breakfast burritos and or tacos with choice of meat and breakfast bowls. I chose the breakfast bowl with brisket as the protein. The bowl has 3 scrambled or fried eggs, plenty of cheese and potato and tender and tasty brisket. Everything was cooked to order and came out quickly. I ordered it to go and it was still nice and warm when I got home. Char B Que offers a ton of bbq items and sauces that are well made. It's also very clean and roomy inside for large or small events. read more

My experience was off to a very negative start walking in. I found this place off a friend's recommendation and wanted to try it for the first time but when I arrived the male host behind the register was very rude and had a negative attitude. I did not end up placing an order, though I would like to return and actually try the food at some point. The interior was clean and put together but other than that, the experience was not good from the beginning read more

It was a first time at Butcher's Kitchen. The bartender Eric was very helpful with our menu selections. We had the Monday special Burrito & Beer, $15. My husband and I split the burrito it was plentiful. We got to meet the owner Ed, the son, but unfortunately his Dad also named Ed wasn't there. I noticed they had a sign up they were features on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. Just to taste the food you'll know why they were on the show! Fantastic! If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat! I look forward to going back for happy hour. read more

Excellent homemade barbequed meat hidden in a strip mall. We had the tri tip beef sandwiches and cornbread. Excellent quality smoked tri tip! Not stringy, not fatty. All meat provided was real top notch meat! No sauce needed, but three homemade kinds are available. Great homemade cornbread provided with butter. Moist enough that butter is not needed. Good value as well. read more

My favorite barbecue in Northern Nevada! This place has been featured on the food channel, and Guy Fieri himself has been here due to the quality of food being off the charts!! I love getting the pulled pork sandwich. I also love the rib tips. Last night I ordered a half pound of tri-tip half pound of pulled pork and some ribs and I was so impressed with the quality of the meats. I don't think any place can top this barbecue spot. I love the french fries here they are seasoned perfectly in the coleslaw is unreal as well. Usually not a huge coleslaw fan. Everything is well seasoned and I even bought a bun so I can make a pulled pork sandwich with the spread that I took pictures of. The service is always fast but sometimes I do call it in in advance just so it's ready when I get there. Everybody is always friendly and very nice and super helpful if you have any questions. I love their location. It is very big. They have enough seating even when they are very busy and it's always kept very clean. They always have a good number of TVs playing some sports as well too, which is a good vibe. Anybody that comes here on vacation I always recommend them to come to the spot! I will be back for more noms read more

I have literally been coming here since they opened and it is my absolute BBQ favorite. Their barbecue is to die for but I almost always get the grilled salmon now! SO good. And the side choices are unique and delicious. I usually get chili and ancient grains pilaf, but the cold quinoa salad (except way too much cilantro), the mac and cheese, barbecue beans, and sweet potato fries are other favorites. The soups of the day are always delish, too. I'm not a big drinker but they have a great full bar and offer excellent local craft beers. The best recent addition is the booths along the side. I have a bad hip and can't sit in hard, unpadded chairs. The booths solve that problem beautifully! They also offer delivery through some online platforms. I can't recommend this fabulous family-owned restaurant highly enough! read more

A year's gone by and this one is still firmly in the rotation, and believe it or not, I've actually expanded from my usual and beloved brisket, starting with their burritos! I favor a VERY specific style of burrito. Protein heavy with cheese, great salsa, beans, veg and signature condiments allowed as long as they make sense and enhance the whole offering, Absolutely no rice is permitted, and it better be rolled up in one of the GOOD tortillas. IYKYK. These hit absolutely every mark with bonus points for excellent protein options (including the specials) and incredible salsas! If you think about this for a second, it makes sense that a bbq joint would excel at meat and sauce. Try one for yourself. I'm also now a huge fan of the chicken. Moist and succulent, smoky and delicious. Textbook bbq bird. Pro-tip: order half chicken all white meat for a portion that's big enough for three. I still haven't tried a burger, though they absolutely speak to me. This could happen soon. Stay tuned. read more

Butchers has been our go-to bbq place since before Covid and they truly never disappoint! It's one of the few places my picky daughter requests to go to all the time. Their menu has evolved throughout the years, but I tend to stick with the 2 piece chicken plate with a side of Mac and a house salad with balsamic. Their food is so tasty and their different daily meal deals are hard to beat! My hubby loves their burritos and my son always gets the tri tip sandwich! They are a family owned business, and definitely offer the best bbq in south Reno! read more

The restaurant was clean and orderly. You order at the register and they give you a number. They bring it to the table. The employees were friendly and helpful. The Tri-tip was excellent. This is a great BBQ place for locals. read more

Guy Fieri stop on DDD! Delicious bbq at an affordable price. Ribs were good but lacked the "fall off the bone" tenderness. The standout was the brisket. Roasted veggies were good but the potatoes were still firm and not fork tender. Garlic bread was probably the weakest, however, still edible. I wanted more garlic flavor. Order at the counter. Lots of tables for big parties. There is also seating outside. Lots of takeout happening. Parking is plentiful. read more

For the drive home from Reno, I had to do some calculations in regard to dinner. Tomorrow, we are going to Tres Hermanas in Davis, Saturday night to Tropeiro's Grill downtown. So for tonight...BBQ! Yelp showed Butcher's Kitchen nearby and with a fair number of reviews. In something of a strip mall, it was easy to find. One person was just finishing ordering when I walked in. The person behind the counter was super helpful as I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of options on the menu. All I really wanted was ribs, but so glad I chose the plate. Which came with two sides. I selected Mac and cheese and a wedge salad. Couldn't eat the salad on the road, so I think I'll have that now. But everything else was really, really good. The little garlic rolls were super fresh, mildly seasoned and perfectly toasted. The ribs, though...oh man! I don't usually get BBQ sauce, kinda have to be in the mood for it. So, the actual rib on its own is important. And these were excellent. Tender, juicy, and delightfully seasoned. But the best part? They were wonderfully smoked. The ribs were really meaty, too. A+! I know I'm being rather one-sided, here but everything was seriously delicious. The Mac n cheese was packed full in the container, had a generous amount of cheese and the cheese was thick with a nice sharp cheddar flavor. I could eat that stuff every day. Alright. That's enough of that. I'm going to eat the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. If you ever end up in Reno and feel like BBQ, Butcher's Kitchen does it right. Right down to the sides. read more

Whenever I go somewhere new on vacation I like to look up Diners, Drive-in's and Dives locations. Saw this one so we decided to try it out. It did not disappoint! We happened to show up during happy hour but we had dinner reservations in a few hours so we just got a couple of "bites" to share. We all enjoyed what we got! (There was 4 of us). The sliders were great and only $3 each. My husband wanted to try the rib tips as that is one of the items Guy got on the show. Those were also tasty. The Italian sausage had a little kick. There were 3 different bbq sauce options. We tried 2 of the 3 (didn't get the spicy one). I personally didn't love either of the 2 we tried but the others did. The guy who rang us up was helpful and nice. Give this place a try if you're in the area. Head up; it doesn't look like much from the front/parking lot but is nice once inside. read more

I have been craving good BBQ for a while and was excited to try here. Great area, lots of parking, quick and polite service. Unfortunately, the food just missed the mark for me. We spent approximately $50 for two plates, but most BBQ spots are around that range so to be expected. The Tri-Tip & corn-bread were by far the stars of the show, but the fries were really good too! Loved the seasoning! The rest seemed to lack flavor for my liking. The brisket was a bit hard to swallow, even with the sauce. Overall we won't be going here for our BBQ cravings, but not angry at it. read more

First time at the restaurant, my wife and I ordered a house burger and one with brisket on it. We asked for well done, but what we got is burned crunchy bitter patties. For 18$ fries and drink for each, please save your money and go to any fast food restaurant for a better burger. read more

Came In for lunch party of 2. Second visit to this establishment. My first was to go. Glad I had a sit down meal. It was early lunch approx around 11:30, not busy, 6 or 7 tables occupied. Enjoyed their friendly service. I got the pulled pork plates this time, it's consist of pulled pork, garlic bread, Mac salad, and chilli and as my sauce I had house bbq hot, I really enjoyed their friendly service savory moist texture off the pulled pork with house bbq (hot). My friend had pork short ribs plate, garlic bread, Mac salad and their soup of the day. She enjoyed the soup of the day and pork short ribs. It's soft and tender as she bites into the meat, very moist and favorable. We would definitely be back for sit down meal opposed to take out, read more

This is a super high-quality breakfast, there's not a lot of things on the menu, but the things that they do have check all the boxes. This is a barbecue spot so you can expect high-quality meat and eggs. The service is always prompt. You pay at the counter and they bring it to your table. The restaurant layout flows. They have a really nice bar and outdoor seating with shade. read more

I've been here several times and it was always great. This time, not so much. I got an order to go and watched it sit on the counter as they took multiple orders out to those eating there, including three large groups that ordered after me. By the time I finally got my order, the fries were cold and soggy. And the brisket was not great. Previously it was so tender and just pulled apart and melted. This time it was tougher and chewy, like they were in a hurry so upped the temp to get it done rather than a nice slow and low. This used to be my go-to BBQ place, but I'll be looking at other options now. read more

I came here for lunch today and I was very impressed. They were packed so we ended up grabbing a spot at the bar. A good sign. The aroma of Smokey meats hits you in the face the moment you walk in. The gentleman taking our order was helpful and gave us some pointers. There is a special of the day which looked good. I ordered the brisket burrito with some sweet potato fries. It was all super good. The burrito looked like a toddlers arm. I'll be back to try the other items. read more

Great service and great food. Tried the brisket and pork ribs. Cooked perfect. My wife tried the pulled pork and loved it.

Amazing joint for BBQ quick grab-n-go. A little rude employees every time I visit the place. Maybe my color of my skin?!?!

Aside from the slight tude from I believe, the owner, our experience at Butcher's Kitchen CHAR-B-QUE was amazing! The rest of the staff were kind and offered up great service! Maybe that was just his personality. We had a little bit of a wait in line, but that was not a problem, because we had some time to mull over the menu. We ordered two brisket sandwiches, fries, a salad and that green chile stew. Food was really fresh and delicious! Portions were solid and we left full and happy! Two thumbs up! read more

So good. I hot the brisket and it was to die for. Portions were HUGE and I was thrilled to have it. Lots of parking and an easy place to find. I've also had their catering which also was amazing and highly recommended read more

If you decide to go here, the hard part is deciding what to order! They have such a very robust menu and you can't go wrong. Just had their meatloaf and it was delicious!

I had an incredible experience at Butcher's Kitchen. The brisket was hands down the most tender and flavorful I've ever had, perfectly cooked and absolutely packed with flavor. You can really tell they take pride in their food. The sweet potato fries were just as impressive, easily the best I've had in Reno. Crispy, well-seasoned, and done just right. The ambience really elevated the whole experience. It has a warm, inviting atmosphere with a clean, modern feel!Comfortable enough to relax, but still lively and well put together. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Eric (I believe he may be the manager) provided exceptional customer care. He was attentive, welcoming, and made sure we were completely satisfied throughout the entire experience. Great food, great service, and an all-around top-notch spot. I'll definitely be coming back. read more
