While traveling for work, I was looking for a place that felt uniquely Longview, and The Butcher…read moreShop & Bakery was exactly what I was hoping to find. The restaurant was busy with families enjoying dinner, and the back room was completely booked for what looked like a birthday party. It's the kind of place that immediately feels like a community staple. The menu is full of American classics, and I went with the spicy cheeseburger. Overall, it was really good. My only minor complaint was that the jalapeños were sliced a little thick, so they kept slipping out of the burger. One thing I loved was the old-school condiment bar where you can customize your burger just the way you like it. After dinner, I couldn't pass up the bakery case. The cookies, cakes, and pies all looked fantastic. The employee recommended the Heathen Cookie, so I grabbed one along with a lemon icebox cookie to enjoy later. I always appreciate finding local restaurants that are clearly supported by the community, and this is one of those places. If you find yourself in Longview, The Butcher Shop & Bakery is well worth a visit for both the food and the hometown atmosphere.

Dang!! Butcher Shop, you need to do better. Customer service matters, and paying customers…read moreshouldn't have to deal with rude, disrespectful employees. We stopped in on Thursday around 5:30 p.m. hoping to grab some salted caramel cookies, but they were sold out. So my husband ordered three Heath cookies and three white chocolate macadamia nut cookies instead. When the employee handed us our order, there was only one white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. My husband politely let her know that he had ordered three. Instead of simply saying, "Oops, let me fix that," she immediately argued that he had only asked for one. When he asked for the other two cookies, she gave us an obvious attitude. I honestly don't understand why. It's not like we were asking for free cookies--we paid for the other two. Maybe she was annoyed that she had to ring them up separately, but regardless, that isn't how customers should be treated. We stayed polite the entire time. We didn't raise our voices or give her any attitude back. It was disappointing to be treated that way over such a simple mistake. Experiences like this leave a bad impression, and my husband said that was the last time he'll shop at this location. The really disappointing part is that they make some damn good cookies. It's a shame that great products are being overshadowed by poor customer service.

I pulled in to the lot and made a parking space (like the many before me) and walked in. The place immediately reminded me partly of the bodegas (or the Mexican equivalent) of my SoCal home and partly of summers spend in Guadalajara visiting relatives. Stuff hanging everywhere, rows of pastries in the back, coolers full of mexi coke and jarritos. And a little "restaurant" hidden away in the corner. Here I ordered four Gorditas, two Pupusas, a Squirt (in a glass bottle), and a Rompope ice cream. It was so delicious, and so cheap! I seriously ordered WAY too much food lol But it's all so good and authentic!!! Language is a little bit of a barrier. I dusted off the high school Spanish, and with a lot of pointing I easily ordered without a hitch. Everyone was super friendly and they seemed excited to have this gringo eagerly swimming through their foreign waters! I'm sure Jalapeño Tree across the street is fantastic, and definitely geared for more standard sit down dining, but if you want a real good adventure check this place out!!!!
