    Char-B-Que Burger

    My favorite BBQ place in town! The food is always great and tasty! Either a BBQ feast or just a quick bite of burger or sandwich, you will always be satisfied!

    Pulled pork, slaw, and pickled veg

    I've been here a few times and I've always been very pleased with the barbecue. I got here. Today I tried their Monday nine dollar birria burrito of the day and it was astoundingly good. Will be back soon!

    Look who was on Triple D

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Full rack "meal" with two sides.

    Randomly found this today - didn't feel like breakfast and it was only 10:30am. They opened the full menu for us. Let me tell you - these are the best ribs I've had in a very long time. Very tender but with a nice crust. Great flavor and sauces on the side. The potato salad is a must try. Wedge potatoes make it unique and their flavorings are classic with real dill. The ham hock beans are flavorful with a kick of heat.

    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.

    Brisket and ribs
    Cheryl L.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    We love @bkcharbque in South Reno! They serve breakfast now. We're looking forward to trying it! Tonight we had rib tips, green beans with bacon, potato salad and garlic bread! So YUMMY! We've been going here since they opened. We don't go out to dinner as much as we used to but we love to eat here! Please support this family owned independent business! You won't regret it!

    Are there Gluten free options?

    Yes, but verify your choices with the cashier.

    Are there gluten-free and dairy-free options?

    It is a bbq place, so all of the meats are gluten free. There are several delicious dairy free sides.

    When is Happy Hour Specials? I cannot find any information?

    They had a sign by the bar there I believe it's 3-5!

    Do they have lunch specials?" Sandwich specials? Multiple meat plate specials?

    They have the regular combo plates that come with one side (ex Mac n cheese/pickled veggies/fries). They do a burrito Monday, a Wat Wednesday (bratwursts) but no daily lunch specials currently.

    The catfish Omg…read more Granted, catfish is not for everyone. But this, this was great! Perfect batter, perfect seasoning, crispy outer, fluffy, tender moist meat on the inside. Not a bone in one of them. Paired with the dirty rice side and a corn bread muffin, this was a meal I haven't had since I left Arkansa over 20 years ago. The catfish was great! The rest of our party was generally pleased. The fried potato wedges were really done nicely, and cold mashed potatoes were excellent. Oddly, must have been an off night, the brisket was chewy than gas station jerky. That's anomalous for this restaurant though, this was the second time I've been here, and it wasn't like that last time. I like the simple clean decor. Not gaudy, not overly done, clean and neat. The service is generally good! Oddly, each time we had a male server, there is a curt attitude to them. The female staff were great though. Polite, attentive and willing to help. One server assisted excellently with a language barrier and the menu. Thank you miss. All in all. Turning into a favorite BBQ place. Well try here one more time to see about consistency. Well worth the visit though Try the catfish

    I'm sorry to say this is not my favorite BBQ spot in town. My husband and I came in for lunch, and,…read morelike most Famous Dave's locations, it has a cute Western feel. We sat in a booth in the bar area. Our first mistake may have been skipping the $35 Feast for 2-sday special and ordering from the lunch menu instead. My husband chose the Texas beef brisket sandwich with BBQ chips, and I ordered the two meat combo with pulled pork, burnt ends, and coleslaw. There was only one server in the bar area, so it took a while for our food to arrive, but it did come out hot. As for the food, the pulled pork was tasty but didn't really have that smoked flavor. It reminded me more of something I could make in a slow cooker. The burnt ends were disappointing. I'm used to them being caramelized with a bit of a crust, but these were soft and even a little mushy. The coleslaw was good. My husband felt the same about his brisket. It lacked smokiness and was a bit too soft. The chips were tasty, but didn't have much BBQ seasoning. Although Famous Dave's is close to our house, we're willing to drive a little farther for better BBQ.

    A quality burger, there's a reason it keeps coming up for locals as the best burger in Reno…read more Be mindful, this isn't fast food. Before you go in, there is signs that says expect a 20 minute wait or more for a burger. If that is an issue for you, this isn't the spot for you. I've gone here a few times. The most recent time with my parents and aunt. I was a bit skeptical taking them to a dive bar for a burger since I wasn't sure how they would react to it. I didn't know until after the meal that they had a whole back section that would have been a lot better of an experience for them. They have a lot of tables and room back there whereas the front is either a bar, one table, or more a a lounge set up. There is also a outdoor area, but it had been a bit windy and sprinkling throughout the day so that isn't an option. I've done the Frenchified burger and the chile burger. Both times i opted for the fries over the chips and feel like I need to try the chips. Burger comes with two patties, a great bun, than the rest is up to you on which you choose. The fries are what I would consider shoe string fries, but maybe slightly thicker. I'm usually not a fan of shoestring fries, but I polished them off easily both times. My parents and aunt are harder to please. They like ingredients that speak for themselves and don't like too much sauces. All 3 of them really enjoyed it and I'm sure they will all be back. They have been looking for a good burger in Reno and I think this was it for them.
