We wanted to try good cuisine choices in Durham region and I wanted to have some smoke meat options so we decided to give this place a try...When looking at the restaurant out and in, its nothing fancy and appealing, but of course hoping the food is going to be good. We ordered from the staff in the front and grabbed our seat and a staff attendant will bring your orders to you. We ordered the following: Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ One Side ($14)- Nice fried chicken that has a tang to the bite...Complimented with a coleslaw on the sandwich...Nice juicy sandwich.. We picked the 'buttered mash potato'...This side is good! Creamy, soft, smooth and buttery... I followed the recommendation of the staff by ordering the Smoked Pork Shoulder w/ 3x Sides ($21)- The pork shoulder is lightly shredded with a bit of a char on it...Unfortunately there was a good part of it that was too charred and hard for me to eat (dryness), but there was certain parts that had some tenderness and juice to it... I inform the staff about this, and they're very friendly and apologetic about the dissatisfaction and was willing to bring us another batch or something we can enjoy...We decided on the chicken fingers... Don't sleep on these, as they're usually a staple dish for kids, but I'd say these are one of the better chicken fingers I've had...Nice breading, chicken was nicely seasoned, and juicy. You get 6x pieces or so... We also picked the 3x sides which were 'Mac & Cheese', 'Brussel Sprouts', and 'Crispy Yams' extra cost of $2.40...All three sides were tasty i'd say... Overall we're pleased with the friendly staff and service, and the sides we picked were all pretty good overall...Yes, the chicken fingers are quite good as well, whether its for your kids or adults...Will come back in the future!

Close to downtown Whitby, Butchies is in a standalone lot that shares a car dealership. However on summer nights, they've got a big outdoor patio area that's perfect. The interior is clean, open and contemporary. As for food they've got a lot to offer with simple step by steps to building your customized meal. For starters I had a small pint of Launch beer to accompany my recommended pork shoulder with two sides, bean sprouts and mac n cheese. The meat was deliciously smoked and moist! The overall concept of Butchies is creative and the ambiance is pretty hip. read more

Butchies has a beautiful outdoor patio for dine-in. It has pesky wasps but still lovely for a nice lunch in the spring and summer. Take out is pretty good as well. The sandwiches and fries are consistently good. We tried the hush puppies and didn't get the appeal. The cucumber salad is pretty good and there's another salad with dill and that's good too. Can't complain about butchers, the quality of the food is there and like I said, it's consistent. read more

This place is off King Street East in Whitby. We found it on our way back from the Cottage. It seems to have pretty high reviews. And we couldn't really understand what it was based on those reviews or pictures and what type of Cuisine is served. Anyway we decided to go for it because we thought it was a barbecue Southern BBQ spot. We arrived and it's more of a cafeteria-style where you or.der from the counter and they serve you at your seat. Which is quite odd considering they come to check on you anyway at your seat so why not just make it a full service restaurant. It took a little bit of time to even order because there were people ordering some ice cream ahead of us. And they only had one person taking the order at the counter. Oh ya they also seel ice creams. The service. Once you get seated they come by later on and drop off your food once it's ready. We tried to order the smoked chicken drumsticks however we were told that it wasn't available until after 5 it was only around 3:30 at this time. That was disappointing. The food: we each ordered the meal with 3 sides. My husband had he burger and i had the chicken wings. His sides were mac and cheese, broccoli salad and fries. I had the watermelon salad, mac &cheese and hush puppies. I ordered a cherry sangria which was their special. Well i shouldn't have. It was horrendous. I didn't finisb it justdrank half way. It was overly sweet. And it had no semblance of wine in there to call it sangria the chicken wings were huge and theres quite a bit in there. The burger was just meh. Whats good at this place were the sides. They were excellent. It is odd however to go to a restaurant because their sides are great. They need to work on their mains/proteins. Make that smoked drumstick available sooner. It doesnt take that long to smoke drumsticks. It was Sunday during cottage country season. They could really capitalize. Its unfortunate. read more

Heard a lot of positive feedback about this restaurant and glad I finally came for lunch. I had the pulled pork, hush puppies and lemonade. All was very good. The remy sauce that came with the hush puppies would taste great with anything. Everything is homemade. Great eats. Oh, great outdoor patio. There are picnic table further out on the grass. Good if you have a dog and need a place to go. read more

Love every visit to this place!!! Wish it was much closer to home...from their buttermilk wings, pulled pork, chicken steak, burger to hush puppies, we have yet to have an unsatisfied meal!!! Like and follow them on FACEBOOK so you can stay up to date on their specials etc, for example, their all day $5 burger last week...I fully took advantage of it! Looking forward to my next meal here! read more

Bad service - just bad. Went there on a Wednesday night at about 8 pm to get a chocolate milkshake. Atleast 5 separate people are waiting to place their or food orders or pay for their ice cream order. The one lady on til is rude and she's also having to bag take out food so we had to wait about 10 and then asked the lady if we could pay and she had a snotty attitude. Sure, I was probably being jerky middle aged stressed out Dad, but you've got the chef kinda standing 5 feet away looking around And not busy, the ice cream lady is just standing there. What a shame. read more

We had an awesome time in the extended patio. The food was amazing. We were able to bring our dog and have a nice time outside. We absolutely loved the cucumber and macaroni salad. The meal was so filling and we were more then satisfied. The staff was friendly and brought us our food very quickly. Can't wait to go back and try out more food. read more

Fabulous food. Ambiance is like a diner but food is amazing! Try Baba's salad and Hush Puppies

Good quality burgers but a bit pricey. Sides show imagination and are very tasty. Could be improved with larger sized sides.

Overall I was no super impressed by this place, I am not sure if it was an off day but I expected more. Service 3/5 It took a really long time to get our order taken even though there were not that many people ahead of us in line. On top of that it took 30 minutes for us to get out food, which I think is long at a fast food joint. Other then that the service was friendly. Food 3/5 We got half chicken, fries, broccoli salad and burger. The chicken was really good, had a nice Smokey flavour and was juicy. The burger was nothing special, it was a big juicy burger but the flavour just did not impress me. The broccoli salad was very good, they make all their salads fresh as you order them! The fries were disappointing their were not warm when we received them and they tasted a little stale as if they had been out of the fryer for a good while. I am not sure if it was just that day, I will try again. Atmosphere/Environment 4/5 The place was really well decorated with a minimalist style. They have gender neutral washrooms with a cute gender neutral sign. They were not staying on top of their tables though because most of them were not clean even though they were empty. They also have seating outside. read more

Always great food and amazing service. We've been going here since Andrea opened and we've never been disappointed.

I was in the Whitby area and wanted to try this place. Having some higher expectations of this place, I wasn't disappointed. I decided to have the meat and two sides option for $14. I had the slow cooked pork shoulder with Brussels Sprouts and the hush puppies. The pork was really good, tender and lightly seasoned. The Brussels Sprouts were roasted and seasoned with salt and the hushpuppies reminded me of a sweet cornbread that was deep fried. It also comes with a mustard mayo dip. All the food combinations matched together perfectly and I really enjoyed my meal. I thought the food combinations would be too greasy, but it wasn't at all. The portions were good and the staff were very helpful and sweet. Next time I want to come back and try the shakes and other sides. read more

Butchies - Hot smoked turkey over mash + gravy, served on a pretzel bun! Great for the holiday season - Salad Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

I had not heard of this restaurant but pulled into the parking lot to make a phone call. Then looked at the Yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. Service was fast and friendly and helpful in deciding on dishes to order. The chicken on a bun was spectacular. It might have a little too much hot sauce for some, but I loved it. The fries are hand-cut, and cooked perfectly. And I took the mac & cheese side home to my wife who loved it. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other menu items. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, everything was clean and organized. It took me a long time to finally decide what to order. I tried the country fried steak, mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts and everything was delicious! The mac and cheese is probably the best I've ever had. (I'm not a fan of mac and cheese). The only thing I would change is the paper underneath the steak. It's inevitable to cut while cutting the steak and the steak ends up on the tray. Pie was okay and Kawartha ice cream is always good read more

Good food! Friendly service! Never brought my dogs there but I'm looking forward to bringing them to the patio next spring!

I am a big fan of Butchies, mainly because of the home style country cooking. Not to mention, the chef is pretty popular around this neck of the woods and pretty much all over. The menu is simple but tasty and unpretentious. The country fried steak with mac n' cheese and hush puppies is my favourite. The country fried steak is fried to perfection and drizzled on top with deliciously beefy gravy. The mac n' cheese is creamy and addictive. The hush puppies are crunchy and fluffy on the inside. This place is just plain awesome. To boot, they have these nifty high chairs for babies. I put my little girl in it and she wasn't a big fan. But the glory of it was that it was family friendly and my little girl's tantrum did not result in the staff or patrons giving any stink eyes. read more

Tried Butchies for the first time today. We ordered the family meal, it was amazing. Very generous portions, and everything we ordered was delicious! Everything was made fresh, with high quality ingredients. There's so much more I could say, but I'm left speechless and satisfied. The owner took our order and told us all about the concept and story of Butchies. She went above and beyond to give us an incredible experience. Everything was very clean and welcoming! We finished off with Kawartha ice cream, and sat out on the large outdoor patio. I was all around a fantastic experience. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I were eager to visit Chef Andrea Nicholson's restaurant ever since we saw the sign. It's about time that Durham has a Top Chef and we certainly weren't disappointed! Everything was absolutely delicious. We each tried a Meat + 3 combo. I had smoked pork shoulder with 3 sides ... hand-cut fries, hush puppies and Baba's cucumber salad. I loved the pork shoulder ... it was perfectly smoked, tender and not smothered in BBQ sauce like most other places. My wife had the smoked half chicken with caramelized brussel sprouts, braised red cabbage and fries. Her meal was equally tasty ... I even liked her brussel sprouts. We were also pleased to hear that the pies are nut free, but didn't have enough room left so will have to try that on our next visit. I strongly encourage people to try out this restaurant and look forward to some of the interesting things that Andrea has planned for the restaurant. read more

Great food, creative menus and a nice outside patio. The service was friendly and relatively fast. Highly recommend!

This place is going to be adding a lot of fat to my waistline in the future! Hubby and I went here after hearing good things from friends. I ordered smoked wings with a side of hushpuppies and cucumber salad and a root beer float which was on special for only $3. My husband ordered country fried steak with hushpuppies and mac and cheese. The wings were so tasty! Smoky and buttery. The hushpuppies were crispy and salty on the outside and soft inside. The cucumber salad was really good. If you like cucumbers, you need to try it! My husband's country fried steak was better than any other I've tried. The mac and cheese was delicious too. I'll definitely be back to try some pie and some of the other meat options. It all looked amazing! They also carry Kawartha Dairies ice cream, so bonus points for that! read more

Butchies - Country fried steak with hushpuppies and mac and cheese and smoked wings with hushpuppies and cucumber salad. - Salad Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

Overall a disappointing experience, here are the details... Let's start with what was good... - Great concept, marketing and feel for the restaurant - Simple streamlined menu and the branding of 'Meat + 3' - Interesting sides - The Chicken Fried Steak was pretty good - Mac n Cheese and Hush Puppies also good Now... the not so good... - Poor service, people were unfriendly both at the cash and bringing the food to the table - The environment is very loud and has a lot of echo. While the renovations of the new restaurant are well done, it's very open, cold feeling, no warmth. - They don't provide a list of burger toppings that you can review. Instead they just say what's available making it very difficult to remember. As a result you feel rushed while trying to order. - Burger was average at best, and some toppings I ordered were missing. - Fries were VERY dark and undercooked - Devilled eggs were very salty - All food is served on a piece of parchment paper, on top of a stainless steel tray. For the most part this is fine, looks pretty good. But putting a steak on a piece of paper just didn't work, especially when you're trying to cut into it. The paper tears and now your concerned with either eating the paper, or worried that the tray may not be clean and your food is now touching it. Saying all that, I do think the place has potential. But from the experience I had, the place is currently not managed or staffed well. Won't be going back. read more

Our new go to place! Great atmosphere , food and craft beer! Who knew I liked Brussel sprouts ? Will go back for sure read more

My first time here. I have watched the chef since she was on Top Chef. I had the meat +3. My near was country fried steak. For sides I chose mashed potatoes, fried Brussels sprouts and the hush puppies. It ordered take out. It was great. The steak was huge , well seasoned and so crispy , even after being in my take out container for 30 minutes. The hush puppies. Lordy ., the were so good. I could not finish in one sitting and had the rest for lunch today. Chef Andrea was scooping ice cream. I told her I have watched her for years. She came to the side and said hello. She was friendly and warm. I will be back for sure read more

This place serves darn good food! We came here for Saturday dinner;the line up was long but the lady taking the orders was fast. We got the family dinner for 4 people. For $38 it gave us 2 kinds of meat, 3 sides and 4 drinks. We had the southern fried wings & the pulled pork shoulder. For the sides, we tried the mac n cheese, fries & cauliflower casserole. Everything was amazing. The wings were seasoned and fried well. The pulled pork, succulent! The place was clean and spacious. The staff were friendly. Our new favourite place! We'll be back for ice cream and pie. read more

Been here twice now and it is awesome. Great barbecue place. The meats or main dishes are what draw me in but it's the sides that keep me coming back. The cucumber salad with dill dressing is delicious. I love the devilled eggs too. Super crunchy chicken wings and so delicious pulled pork. May be a little pricey but it's worth it. Great place in the summer with their outdoor seating area. Very casual yet still cool. Definitely worth checking out. Next time I got to try their ice cream read more

After driving by this place on numerous occasions ( when it was a diner), finally decided to stop in. I'm glad I did! The place itself is clean and open. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The food itself was quite good. We shared the roasted chicken as the portions were big enough. This also came with two sides, we got the ( devil eggs, cabbage). All of it was amazing. Look out for the daily specials the buttermilk fried chicken wings are amazing! It would have been nice if the sides were a bit bigger, as it is on the pricey side. Other than that, would go again for sure! read more

Just left lunch at Butchies - my first time at the restaurant. I drove by a while ago and always wanted to try it. This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Durham. Don't make the mistake of assuming this place is fast food just because they have burgers and you order at the counter - the quality is FAR from any fast food place. I had the buttermilk fried wings with 2 sides: cucumber salad and poutine. The portion for everything is SO big!! the wings were crispy and tasty but not oily or greasy. The cucumber salad had a creamy sauce but was still very light. And the poutine had the best gravy ever. The service was friendly and attentive. You can tell a lot of thought goes into every aspect of your meal. Other restaurants on the Durham region need to look at this as the model. I'm coming back and bringing friends! read more

Great casual feel with a fun diner vibe. The menu allows you to select the meat item of your meal with a great selections of sides to choose from. We had a strawberry milk shake, burger, cauliflower cheddar casserole,fries (that was his order). I had the country fried steak with mac and cheese and hush puppies. I have never had country fried steak or hush puppies before and they were great. It's fun spot and when the weather is warmer I will come back for some of their Kawartha's ice cream. We'll be back! read more

just ordered from Butchies. the burger was dried up. bun was soggy and the poutine was inedible (chips weren't cooked) also ordered milk shake and I wasn't included when delivered. definitely gone down hill used to be great fresh food read more

Overall it was a good experience. The service was friendly, the restaurant was clean with plenty of space and you don't feel crammed in at all like some restaurants these days. It's especially good because the old restaurant in this spot had tiny booths. Butchie's has nice spacious tables. As for the food it was good. I ordered the "Meat + 1" which for me was a burger and fries. The fries are GREAT honestly the 2nd best fries I've had in all of Durham Region. The burger was good. They use some sort of spice in the meat which gives it a bold flavor which I wasn't a huge fan of. I'm more of a just the meat alone kind of guy but it was fine. The only thing was it seemed a tad overdone. I know you can't get medium rare burger in Canada but it seemed more well done that most. Fresh ingredients though. Bacon and cheese were really good. If I had one concern is that the drink is quite small. A fountain soda is $2.25 and it's the size of a can of pop but with ice in it. Since the food is freshly made it take awhile so you are almost done your drink by the time the food gets there. I'll definitely go back to Butchie's in the near future I'll just have one of the other items on the menu with those tasty fries. read more

Had this delivered by Skipthedishes and I have no regrets. The food was delicious, and I wish I had ordered more. I thought I was ordering a pulled pork sandwich but I was wrong, I got a 1/2 lbs bucket of pulled pork which has only been my dream for the longest time. I thought the meaning behind the restaurant was amazing and I could tell that they put love into what they make which is why I chose Bunchies. This will be my number one place to go from now on, super delicious, super filling. I love it read more

Great place for a really good and filling meal! Prices are definitely reasonable for the amount of food you get and the service is good. For $50 we got two entrees, two bottles of water and two desserts - and we're busting at the seams. I like how you can choose your meat (or fish) and however many sides you'd like - the options for sides is endless. Must try the wings, hush puppies and burgers! I like that they change the menu on the meats regularly depending on what's in season.... The staples seem to be the wings, some sort of sandwich/burger or chicken fried steak. The pies are delicious and local too - and they serve Kawarthas ice cream. Don't forget about the shakes. read more

I only recently heard about Butchies and I knew we had to visit. I love Top Chef (the show) and always rooted for Andrea - I was excited to check out her restaurant. The place is clean and comfortable and the staff is so nice. All of them! We felt very welcomed. Andrea and her staff make a point to come out to the tables at least once or twice to see how things are. It was really nice and did not feel intrusive at all. The food: I had the buttermilk fried chicken fingers, my H had the ribs and buttermilk fried wings and my son had the burger. For sides I ordered the green beans and Mac and cheese. Everything was damn tasty, as promised. The fries were hand cut and reminded me of a chip truck. Perhaps I came in with lower expectations bc I don't think bbq restaurants are all that exciting. It's clear that Butchies puts a ton of thought and love into the food. I also enjoyed the house ketchup that you find at the table. Nice touch. I'm looking forward to coming back again. This place is way better than any other bbq I've tried in the GTA. All around - a great experience. 5 stars because it's rare when all the things - service, atmosphere and food, are to notch. read more

Wanted to take a picture before I jumped in but it just didn't work out that way. Meat (salmon) + 3 (fries, hush puppies, green beans). Everything was perfectly cooked. The flavours were amazing and so was the side sauce! read more
