Had dinner here and they had happy hour menu which you can't beat the prices! We were planning on going regardless but $5 margarita was excellent! The brisket sandwich was delicious with crispy fries. The waiter Zack was super nice and friendly. We love it here and it's a must stop when coming to Nashville!
Great dinner at Butchertown Hall! We had called for a reservation and there was a mix-up upon arrival but the host flexed and made it work for our party - we were super appreciative! Our server was excellent, too, so appreciated the great service throughout. Between three of us, we split the Brisket Nachos (THE BEST), the Bavette "Arrachera" (fantastic - and the house-made tortillas are SO good), and the Roasted & Shaved Street Corn (very good). Everything was packed with flavor, great portion sizes, and it was enough that we left very satisfied. We were seated in the courtyard area - the heaters were very nice. There were several families with young children and a girls night out that was quite loud, so it was not the most laid back vibe out in that area, but we were glad to be seated despite the reservation hiccup. There was a good amount of outdoor seating, as well. We'll be back next time we're in town!
Went to Butchertown for the first time yesterday always love trying new patios with our dog! Our waitress Allison was so kind. They have a great happy hour $5 margaritas. We got chips and queso and tried the brisket sandwich! There are a lot of seating options in another covered area that you could bring your dogs even in the rain!
Great happy hour margs at $5!! Cannot beat the deal and the patio is spacious. Service was great and dog friendly as well
Last night a friend visiting from New York and I stopped into Butchertown Hall craving some serious meat, and this place delivered. We ordered the Porterhouse and the Bavette, and both were seasoned beautifully with their house chili-and-coffee style rub. The wood-fired sear was perfect, the flavor was on point, and both steaks came out cooked exactly as ordered. For sides, we tried the Mexican street corn elote, brussels sprouts, and a baked potato. The sides were solid overall -- nothing bad, nothing amazing -- though the baked potato was pretty forgettable. My only real call-out is that the Porterhouse was a bit thinner than I prefer, especially at an $80 price tag. Also, my friend mentioned the wooden chairs weren't the most comfortable. All that said, the steaks themselves were fantastic, and I'd come back just for that seasoning and grill char alone.
Came here for dinner last night and had the best experience. First of all, I loved the dark ambiance inside. It really set a nice, elevated vibe. Our server immediately greeted us and brought us jugs of water. When she came back she took our drink orders and was able to help with recommendations. We also ordered our appetizers at that time. For appetizers we got the oysters and the queso. I wasn't a big fan of the oysters but omg the queso was soooo goood. My friends and I all inhaled it. As for entrees, 3 of us split the tomahawk ribeye (33oz) and got a side of corn, brussel sprouts, and fries. Everything was 10/10. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and the corn and brussel sprouts were seasoned great. The brussel sprouts were slightly spicy but not too much. Drinks were super good too. I definitely recommend this place
Went here on a last-night whim for date night, and what a great find! Pro tip: make a reservation if you want to sit inside. We ended up outside in the heat, but the experience was still so lovely thanks to the amazing service (seriously, they checked on us constantly and were so kind). The food was delicious (that steak + fries were so good), drinks were spot on, and the whole place has super cute decor/vibe. We'll definitely be back, next time with a reservation to enjoy the inside!
I recently tried Buchertown Hall in Nashville. The overall experience was just okay for me. The service wasn't great. The server seemed distracted and didn't interact much with the table, and the host never smiled. It felt like they didn't really enjoy their job, which made the atmosphere a little uncomfortable. As for the food, the BBQ was quite dry. Overall I'd rate the food about 6/10. It wasn't terrible, but it also didn't stand out. With so many amazing restaurants in Nashville, I'm not sure I would go back. There are definitely other places in the city that offer better food and service.
Butchertown Hall, an elevated barbecue and new American staple in Germantown, is situated in a beautiful and historic brick building at the corner of Van Buren and 4th Avenue. With a name like Butchertown Hall, you expect a lot of meats and a fairly grandiose dining area, both of which are present here. The menu, which is a mix of Tex-Mex, barbecue and new American features your standard variety of meats from brisket to pulled pork, combined with classic burgers, entrees and sides, offered alongside a small selection of tacos and Tex Mex inspired dishes such as queso and street corn. And all of this is paired with hand crafted cocktails, and local beer/wine. Before diving into the food and drink, I do want to brad on the space itself. The walk up is uneventful and doesn't do the full space justice, but once you come up those stairs, it's over! The patio is excellent with a combination of standard and casual seating, additionally there is a gorgeous covered dining room with six tops and picnic tables. If outside isn't your thing, the dining room inside is gorgeous from floor to vaulted ceiling! Now that I lived on the space, on to the food...which if I am being honest, was just okay. The vibes, decor and service outshined the food and drink sadly. While there was nothing wrong per se, there was also nothing amazing with what we had for dinner or drinks. Everything we had, from cocktails to queso to the burger seemed to be missing something. Everything was slightly bland and again, just okay. To start our night, we had the queso, which featured chorizo. The queso was good, but the homemade chips were the highlight. Next we both went with the burger, he got fries and I opted for the street corn. Both burgers were cooked as ordered, but both lacked seasoning, so the meat was one note. In stead of mayo, a spiced or seasoned sauce or aioli may accompany the burger better. The fries were shoestring and fried well, and the corn was honestly our favorite dish of the night. To wash it all down we grabbed a couple of cocktails, the Pancho & Lefty and Foxglove. Both were underwhelming and one-note in flavor. Our server, Allie (sp?) was excellent. She was upbeat, friendly and helpful from the time we were sat to tone time we left! Overall, we were not blown away by the food/cocktails, but we really enjoyed the atmosphere, vibes and service...so we will certainly be back. There were several other things on the menu that caught our attention, so we are hopeful for a better culinary experience next visit, whether it be brunch or dinner!
The team at Butchertown redid their menu about a week and a half ago, and now have a few more Asian inspired items and vegetarian options on the menu! The birria dumplings were really good and my group also really enjoyed the new rice pudding!
So to start off, we made our reservation at 2pm thinking that would be lunch but we were surprised to find that they were still serving brunch. They informed us that lunch didn't start until 4pm, but maybe they meant dinner? Not a big deal but something i'd like to know before visiting. The service was pleasant, and we were glad to have made the reservation as they seemed both busy & understaffed. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely. I enjoyed the theme & decor. Our guacamole was absolutely delicious. We knew then, we had made that right choice. The barbecue was phenomenal we had chicken, beef, pork tacos, salads and it was all devine! Looking forward to returning for dinner.
This is a happening spot in Nashville! Both walking up, and walking in, you are hit with great vibes, music, and that tucked away in a neighborhood feel that just endears a local place to you. I came with a group of colleagues that I was visiting for the weekend for both work and fun, and this was our first dinner stop. Our server stayed on top of things, and we didn't have much in the way of complaints. Comparing the food and drink, I would say this place excels at their apps and small bites as well as their cocktails. We each ordered a drink, and right now I can't remember the name of mine, but definitely remember thoroughly enjoying it. We also got some chips and both queso and guacamole to snack on at the table, as well as their wood-fired oysters. I'm not an oyster person generally, I did try one, and I imagine that an oyster person would have very much enjoyed it, but it just cemented my feelings as far as the texture are concerned... haha. We opted to do our dinner family-style, ordering a few appetizers, a collection of meats, and a couple of sides. Thinking back on the meat-stravaganza, I enjoyed the strip steak the most. It's served with some crispy fries and a side salad - and is plenty of food to share. After that I would say was the sausage and brisket, though neither one would make it onto any top BBQ experiences list for me. The smoked turkey, was unfortunately a total miss. Did not get any real smoke flavor, and it was too dry to enjoy. In fairness to all BBQ places, one of the hardest parts of being in that business is preserving meat and not letting that happen. I understand. Other than the fries, the sides were not super memorable for me. The street corn is something I'll order just about anywhere, but this one didn't pop and make me want more than a couple spoonfuls. Needed more zest, more taijin and lime, maybe more blistered bits of corn. The brussel sprouts were pretty good, but didn't put me in full gobble em up mode. We did finish with some cream filled churros that were excellent! Overall, I think this is a good spot to bring a group. I bet the smoked meats will vary mostly on how good a job the team that day is doing preserving freshness or how often they are being ordered. Anything grilled to order seems like a hit. Thanks for a nice evening!

Visited on a Thursday night with 3 friends at 6:30. Parking was super easy, they had a lot on the side of the restaurant as well as plenty of street parking. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The restaurant was about half full. Our waiter was kind, helpful & attentive and I appreciated that he didn't rush us. We got the guac for the table and then I had 3 tacos. The guac and chips were good, the tacos were very average. I've been to Butchertown a handful of times over the years and to be honest I've never been impressed with the food. It was a great spot to catch up with friends and the food wasn't too expensive. It's a good spot for larger parties as well because they can accommodate easily. Overall, good spot to hang with my friends, I wouldn't come back for the food. read more
Tyler is awesome! He really made us feel welcomed coming here. We had a ton of time to spare before we went golfing, and it was downpouring rain out so we were coming here to eat and drink but to stay a while too. He was hilarious and kept swinging by to make sure our bottomless mimosas were full. We all got different items but I got the breakfast tacos with different types of meat, an espresso martini, and the bottomless mimosas. It was all really delicious and we all had a great time sitting at our table and being served by Tyler! read more

After a busy day in Nashville, we headed to Butchertown Hall for dinner. We started with the Oysters and Butchertown Queso. The queso was a hit. For my entree, I split the 33 oz Tomahawk Ribeye which was delicious. We split it 3 ways with a couple sides and it was good amount. The Bride had the Texas Wurst and was unfortunately underwhelmed with the size of the portion. read more

This was my first time dining here and they had me at the queso. It's the perfect appetizer. I had the strawberry daiquiri as a drink and the burger as my entree. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They also have a really good happy hour. read more

Great place for brunch for sure. Service was very good. All the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful. They have a big inside seating area and they also have a big patio for the summer. They also have heaters they use on the winter. The drink menu has good selection and the cocktails I had were very delicious. The food was really good. I had the huevos rancheros. Overall it's a good place but a little on the pricey side but not bad. read more

The food here is soooo delicious - it was hard to choose what to get because it all sounded so good, too. Options are also great for gluten free folk (their sauces are gluten free)! Ambiance is cute, stylish, clean (check out the photos of the outside and inside). The service was good - occasionally slow but I attribute that to how busy the restaurant was. If I lived in the area I would absolutely visit for good bbq and sides! read more

The food, the ambience, and the service was all top notch! From the second we walked in it was great. I was there at night so it had a really nice moody vibe to it. Our server was super helpful and friendly. She recommended her favorites, which I ultimately ordered. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and juicy and the roasted street corn was fresh and delicious. read more

Came here last minute without a reservation during a slow season for an early dinner. No wait. Loved my seasonal old fashioned and the corn appetizer. Enjoyed my tacos but wish I had ordered their other entrees. Having grown up in the south west, my palette for tacos is different! Good vibes and loved seeing lit candles spread throughout the restaurant. read more

Tucked away in Germantown like some secret whispered over a late-night bourbon, this BBQ joint hit me out of nowhere. I was just rambling through the neighborhood--those winding, gorgeous walks in the area that make you feel alive--when I clocked a sign that might as well have been a siren call: *smokehouse* and *beer*. Two of my favorite words in a single sentence. The deal was done. The crew inside didn't mess around--spotted me quick, ushered me to a seat like I was family walking through the door. Turns out I'd stumbled in during the sweet spot, brunch hours (11 to 3 on weekends), which cracked the whole menu wide open like a treasure chest. So I went for it: salsa trio, pozole chicken soup, and the BBQ brisket sandwich. The salsas came out swinging--three gutsy, pureed powerhouses, heavy on salt and lime, screaming fresh from the first bite. You could taste the hands that made 'em, no question, but paired with the sandwich and soup, it was a salt pile-on that left my tongue a little battered. The pozole soup, though--laced with lime, bright and unassuming--danced lighter on its feet, a quiet beauty in the lineup. Then the brisket sandwich rolled up and stole the show. That rub--*chefs kiss*, it was a revelation, sinking deep into the meat, threading smoke through every fiber like a pitmaster's poem. Served deli-style, it came with an unexpectedly wild slaw--corn, cabbage, onion--nothing fancy, but beautifully crafted, cutting through the richness like a sharp knife. A few drops of ground mustard later, and the fatty edges mellowed out, it was a combination that wasn't asking - it beckoned for respect. If I'm jonesing for BBQ and don't feel like wrestling city traffic to chase it down, this spot's got my number. It's a hidden gem with modern soul, the kind of place you'll remember from photos in magazines, tucked away in a neighborhood rich with history, except it's right here, waiting. read more

Do they offer happy hour on Fridays?
Last time I was there, they had suspended happy hour and added a fair amount of outdoor seating due to Covid-19. Ordinarily they do.
Is there typically a long wait for dinner on a Friday night? We are a party of 6 and hoping to eat around 7:30-8:30.
