We've heard great things from family and friends about Butchie's and just had to try it! So glad we did because it was well worth every dime! When we walked into the restaurant, the staff member at the Cash welcomed us and after we explained to her that it was our first time, she explained to us how their restaurant works. The food was absolutely delicious! Very well seasoned, perfect portion sizes, and absolutely delicious! Next time you go, you HAVE to try the Hush Puppies! The pulled pork sandwich, Butchie's burger and Mac and cheese were amazing too! Will definitely be back in the future! read more

Awesome patio with great music. I had the spicy chicken and my wife had the pulled chicken sandwiches. Fries, Caesar salad and macNcheese. Everything rocked! Highly recommended. read more

One is the lowest I can give , it should rate 0 Went in for their meat plus 1 , which is a burger and fries - up charged to a poutine for a extra 3$ and threw a slice of cheese in the burger for a extra buck ... Figured if the food is good , price is accordingly Received food in a metal tray ... not ideal but okay for a burger , but not good for a steak or such Burger was raw , approached the owner who replied they have a habit of cooking their meat Medium rare ... ?? Poor excuse for a under cooked item Will not go back at read more

Delicious food. Great vibe and unique menu. Highly recommend. They have a great Caesar salad that I very much enjoyed their take on. read more

Enjoyed delivery from Skip the Dishes. Everything was very tasty! The half chicken was delicious. The hot Nashville chicken sandwich was spicy but great. The sides were so good ... the Brussels sprouts, chip-truck style fries, Mac&cheese. Reminded me of southern cooking. So tasty! read more

This place is awesome! Super trendy/modern/hipster diner vibe and awesome southern comfort food. You order a protein and however many sides you want. I got the Louisiana fried chicken sandwich and Mac n cheese. It was awesome - big juicy fried chicken breast in hot sauce topped with coleslaw. Mac n cheese was super cheesy and topped with bread crumbs. My friend got a Butchies burger with bacon and cheese and fries with gravy. The gravy is definitely poutine worthy gravy - dark brown and salty. The other item we tried was baba's cucumber salad (cucumber, sour cream, red onion and tons of dill) which was made fresh and fresh dill was trimmed off a dill plant... sooo goood. The staff was fantastic and took the time to explain menu items to us and two different people came to check on us while we were eating. It's an order and sit down type of place. I will definitely becoming back. read more

Butchies - Salad Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

Tasty food for everyone. Butchies has a wide variety of main entrees and sides that will satisfy almost any craving you may have. Make sure you order pick up by calling them! Don't use skip or Uber eats unless you are getting delivery, this way more revenue goes to the restaurant owner!! read more

The atmosphere is bustling and you worry there won't be a table by the time your foot is ready, but it seems to work out. We went twice in the same week. The food each time was pretty good. The ordering choices can seem a little off putting, but it's about choice, so take a moment and think about what you want before stepping up. Front staff were very friendly and competent, which we haven't seen a lot of in our recent dining choices. At times it looked like the kitchen was falling a bit behind, but then you'd see bags upon bags of takeout being brought up and then the tables started rocking again. We might adjust this rating up after our next visit. Just need to make sure were not just in a honeymoon phase at finding a new place that isn't awful. read more

Been here twice now. The first time I ordered the smoked pork shoulder and two sides: fries and Mac and cheese. I got the pork shoulder on a bun with extra BBQ sauce on the side. I got to say, the pork shoulder was juicy and extremely delicious, cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese side was tasty. Not quite macaroni pasta but that didn't matter. Loved the fries too, thick and fried just right. I also loved how they give you thick sliced pickles and pickled onions as well. The second time I went I ordered the half BBQ chicken and two sides: hush puppies and cod fritters. The chicken was juicy, delicious and not dry at all. Loved the skin..seasoned so well. The hush puppies are to die for. Three big yummy portions that compliment the meat so well. The cod fritters were excellent as well. I think I'll continue to come here and try some other delicious items. So many delicious sides that compliment the meats. It seems as if some of the meats are rotated out, which I think is great but if you are looking forward to something you had last time it might not be there that day. Maybe you can request it, if its not written on the chalk board menu. Also, Kawarthas Dairy ice-cream here as well. Lots of benches outside for those beautiful sunny days. Excellent spot, I highly recommend to anyone who loves BBQ and comfort food in general. read more

Very, very good! Everything was delicious, we ordered the Chicken Wings and the Smoked Pork Shoulder, and they were flavourful and satisfying! The sides were great as well! My only regret is that I didn't have any room for the pies, shakes and ice cream!! Will be back for sure. Love that it's off the beaten track, feels like a well kept secret. However I secretly wish there was one closer to me! read more

Okay, so I almost went 4 stars because of the wait for the food but figured anything this good was worth waiting for. Very good by any BBQ standards but especially good by Canadian BBQ standards. They are typically overpriced and underwhelming. The last time I found anything comparable was Smokin' Tony's in Guelph. This is better. On to the food. I had the Hot Chicken sandwich. Very good but not quite Gabardine (Bay & Richmond in Toronto). Had the hushpuppies as my side, excellent and a must have. Mrs. AC had the Chicken Fried Steak and it was fantastic. Best I've tasted north of Texarkana. Not over-breaded, good piece of steak and very tasty. She selected the fries as a side, also very good (not quite 5 Guys but solid). Hand spun shake was also a plus, with Kawartha Dairy ice cream +++ All in all an excellent experience. I will be returning and hoping for the brisket to be on the smoker next time. Will also get to the ribs at some point (the true test of any BBQ place). I am a Promoter of Butchies. read more

I've wanted to stop in for a long time and boy I'm glad I finally did!! The concept of quality but simple food done right is not lost in translation. The food, I had a chicken sandwich with bacon chilli mayo and three sides, Mac and cheese, devilled eggs, and watermelon salad, was amazing!! My daughter had a cotton candy shake and couldn't have been any happier lol. Great place with friendly staff!! I felt comfortable and left so full!! Definitely coming back! Oh and Andrea was there too! Very friendly and nice! I'm a fan of hers so kinda cool read more

Butchies - The best chicken sandwich with bacon and a chilli mayo plus Mac and cheese devilled eggs and watermelon salad!!! - Salad Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

What great service. In these days we, as consumers, are looking for that little extra something something. I believe Butchies has it. Their atmosphere could be warmer. More comfy tables and chairs. But the food is homemade and tasty. I hope they get a patio. Haven't driven by on a week or so. Good family food. Debbie Barlow read more

Burger was raw When approached the owner She said they have a habit of cooking burgers med rare Poor excuse for a under cooked item Will not go Back Again read more

Great food and service here. Brought the dogs and was able to enjoy a space outside in the shade.

Great local joint! Menu is simple and food is awesome. The smoked pork shoulder was tender and smokey, paired nicely with the cucumber salad. Had a bite of hubbie's burger, really liked it too, juicy and flavourful! Oh, the Brussel sprouts tasted super yummy too, don't miss it! Gonna make it a regular spot~ read more

Awesome take on the classics. Our entire family really enjoys the unique flavours the owner has worked into the creative menu. Good job! :)

Remember Andrea from Top Chef .... this is her place! Fantastic food. You have to try Baba's Salad and the Hush Puppies. The mains are terrific. Big portions. All cooked fresh. Very tasty. A hidden jewel. Kind of good home food in a sparkling clean lit casual atmosphere.... we will be back read more

The main course was do good but side size are so small compared to price. Good customer service read more

Chicken fried steak was awesome burger was ok place is really nice tho would like to try more stuff off the menu

The food was Top Notch. We stopped in for lunch, two of us had Burgers and Fries and one of us had the smoked pork with fries and green beans really delicious definitely will come back. Lots of parking, it's located right beside a car dealership. They have really good looking ice cream too but we were full after our meal. read more

I love eating here! So glad Whitby has such an amazing eatery. My favourite is the 1/2 smoked chicken. So juicy and flavourful! Hush puppies are delicious and fries are fresh cut. Ask for the remoulade sauce on the side. Ice cream from Kawartha's Dairy is very generous. A single scoop is gigantic! Washrooms are large and clean. My only concern is that it can be quite chilly with people opening the door so try not to sit beside the two doorways. read more

Really Really wanted to like this place, came for an afternoon lunch with my husband, had the chicken fingers, mac n cheese, fries, hush puppies!food lacked flavor.. was really disappointed after spending $90 sadly we will not be back read more

Solid offerings but they really need to sort out their one-cash register situation. 30+ minute wait to just get your order in on a Friday evening. Another 20 minutes for the food to be ready. read more

I finally got to try this place! They did a great job revamping the spot to make it clean and modern, while keeping the diner feel. Butchies is the southern comfort food we have been missing in Durham Region. Most places are all about the barbecue, but the chef has done a great job offering items that other BBQ joints and other restaurants don't, thus making it a smart unique selling point. With items like country fried steak and hush puppies, it takes me back to trips to the U.S. Specialty bottled root beers are pricey ($4.75) so you might want to stick with fountain pop ($2.25). The smoked pork shoulder was tender, but it needed more smoke flavour and heavier seasoning. The BBQ sauce on the table helped! The sides were good. Really enjoyed the mac & cheese, green beans, and hush puppies. I was pretty disappointed with the devilled eggs though. Nothing like the ones in the website photos. I can make them better and more flavourful. Overall, I am happy with the experience. Maybe next time I'll try the pie! Also, the service is good so make sure to tip! read more

Butchies - Smoked Pork, Devilled Eggs, Mac 'n' Cheese, Hush Puppies - Salad Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

I love this restaurant the best part is there ice cream and there hush puppies! It was delicious I Totally recommend this place

Saw an ad in the local paper showcasing best patios. Staff greeted me well but I felt rushed to pick something off of the menu and was disappointed with the selection but I ordered the country fried steak with Mac and cheese and hush puppies. Sat on a picnic table that had chunks of food on the seat and table top. The "patio" is a gravel space with uneven patio stones as walkways resembling a lot in a provincial park campground. My food arrived in a friendly and timely manner but the steak was riddled with grizzle, hush puppies were over cooked and the Mac and cheese had an odd flavour that I can even describe. The staff is friendly, service is quick but the food was simply awful. Won't ever be back. read more

Amazing food, helpful and friendly staff. Clean, welcoming place. My only suggestion is that they add a "sampler" plate of all the meats, it's super hard to decide between them... had bad food envy whenever a plate went by our table!!! Will definitely be back to have the rest of the menu! read more

Saw it on tv and decided to try it for dinner tonight with my brother. Simple concept, just pick a main item and pair it with 1, 2 or 3 sides. My brother had the smoked Pork Shoulder with Fries and Cucumber Salad while i had the Buttermilk Fried Wings with Fries and Green Beans. Wings were huge but could have been cooked a little longer, especially the large drumettes. The salad and beans were small portions. Free refills for pop. Saw an employee refill a customers drink while I had to get up and ask for myself. Be consistent. If you do it for one then do it for everyone. read more

The food is good but both times we ordered takeout something was missing from our order. When I called the restaurant it was clear they did not care read more

Fantastic BBQ. Pick anything on the menu and you will be happy. There is quality and thought in every dish. Highly recommend.

Food here is way overrated. I just tried it because the hype. Popeyes much better for wayy less price

Amazing food and cashier was super friendly and informative. Hush puppies and brussell sprouts were delicious. Simple food made right. Pork belly bites were yummy. read more

My new favourite! I had the hot Nashville chicken sandwich (spicy!) and cucumber salad, my wife had the cheeseburger and hand cut fries. We washed everything down with milkshakes (don't be a hater!). Everything was really, really, really good, I like it a lot (had to steal a line from dumb and dumber!). read more

My parents seem to love this place however everytime ive ordered from here things have been oversalted. and one time i ordered a salmon special and it tasted like the inside of a fishtank, not fresh at all. the only thing that never disapoints is the icecream read more

I have been to Butchie's 3 times, all times, food and service were great. Except yesterday, being the last time. I have brought my own sugar free BBQ sauce in all times due to my dietary restrictions (Ketogenic/Sugar Free) and posted a photo on Instagram of my meal, my friends meal and my BBQ sauce (another Whitby smokehouse) that I had brought in (Again, like every other time) and was called out in my comments about the BBQ sauce and being told I was not allowed to bring Outside Food/Drinks (understandable) so why do I get picked on vs. 1, speaking to your staff that worked this shift, 2, PRIVATELY messaging a customer about your concerns right away, versus doing so after mentioning you feel 'blasted' in the comment thread. I then blocked Butchie's of all social media and let my Ketogenic family know of said experience. I will never say that the food is bad, because it is GREAT but learn some social media etiquette and 'attack' your staff before you do with a customer... in my opinion. As a person who follows a Ketogenic diet, I will stalk a restaurant's menu well in advance to plan what I eat. If your staff would of 'ENFORCED' this as you say the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd time I could of saved myself my own sugar free sauce and used the ones you so called can provide. Let it be known you have options for your customers vs letting them know AFTER the fact. read more

This is my first time here. We've driven by enough times but I finally came in and boy am I happy I did. We had the buttermilk wings (wow so tasty) and the country fried steak. Steak was lovely! Their Mac n cheese is also very flavourful and their gravy is on point! The staff is super friendly and eager to help out. We'll come back again for sure! read more

This is our first visit here. It's new and popular and with the amount of people waiting for their orders while sitting at tables, seating is extremely limited (we ate outside where there is overflow picnic tables - hope the rain holds off). And when it's busy you will have to be patient. Due to the design it's awkward to order as well as wait for your order. Another small thing - and it's a review so I will mention it - outdoor garbage was overflowing - but really that's a small thing and understandable. Because we ate outside we had to have everything in to-go containers adding to waste and garbage. Also parking can be a Gong Show. Our meals all came without napkins... small things. The good: staff is friendly, they brought our order ($$) outside to where we were sitting. The food....the food is fresh and excellent, it's obvious why there are so many people here. So yes - the food is a must stop place to eat. The pies look homemade and the ice cream is just fantastic. Great people restaurant with a great story. We are local - walking distance so we will definitely return. I would recommend this to friends. We wish this local business a success and look forward to our next visit. read more

Big buzz about this place and I finally tried it. So bad and way overpriced for what type of food it is. Also, not impressed that the owner does not wear a mask while talking to customers and yet all her employees were wearing them. read more

we went out for lunch/dinner for fathers day I have a burger and fries and a drink water we will return soon
