Ok, this is the GO-TO place for protein! You want excellent local beef? Cinder Butte Meat Company…read morehas it. Great selection of cuts available and they cook up so flavorfully! Not just beef, they have chicken, lamb, elk, bison, alpaca, and seafood. I will say that the ground alpaca with ground beef, and ground sausage make fabulous chili- I bought all my meat for that chili from Cinder Butte Meat Company, and it was received by 15 middle school girls. They devoured almost all of it and raved about it. Cinder Butte meat Company also makes sausage, bacon, lunch meats, jerky (hillbilly variety is thee family favorite). The shop is clean, and the owners and staff are the best kind of people, who always have a smile and understand customer satisfaction. They seriously deserve a sixth star!

I have been driving over the pass for a couple of years now knowing that I will get quality meats for myself and family. The best jerky in this State!! When I asked if they were willing to help, even the smallest amount, they more than came through. Their generosity was beyond measure. More than expected they opened their hearts for strangers during this difficult time. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate them and their employees. Their service has never disappointed me and my family. The quality of their meats say it all. Great people. Good employees. Thank you for your help and support. Support and shop small business!!

I would recommend making a reservation if you want to be seated at a table, there is usually a line at the door for walk ins when they first open. With that being said, you may be sat at the bar if they reach capacity but that is NOT a bad thing - this last time we sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience! The food is 10/10 - our favorite is their hangar steak! If you are in the mood for an appetizer the poutine fries are also 10/10 ! All their cocktails we've tried throughout our visits have also been amazing! The atmosphere is great! The service has always been 10/10 as well - their customer service is unmatched, the owner always makes you feel like you're part of the family! If you haven't been yet, you need to hurry up and get over there!

I walk into most places already halfway disappointed. Not here. We had an early reservation at Rancher Butcher Chef at 4:45 with some friends visiting from out of town, and right from the start it felt right. Walked in, instantly greeted, super friendly, no awkward standing around wondering who's in charge. The place was still quiet, which made it even better. Drinks came quick, appetizers followed, and let me just say this... do not skip the beef tartare. Seriously. Not negotiable. The escargot was also ridiculous in the best way. Now the real test... the steak. Perfect. Cooked exactly right, seasoned like someone actually cares, not just throwing salt at it and hoping for the best. This is one of the few places I've been where I'm not sitting there thinking "I could've made this better at home." Then came dessert... some kind of banana cold cake situation that I didn't fully understand but absolutely devoured. Whatever it is, order it. Ask questions later. By the time we were finishing up, the place filled up fast and got a little loud, but honestly that just confirmed what we already knew... when a place is this good, people show up. Great service, great food, fair prices, and a steak that actually lives up to the hype. What more do you want... a personal rancher cooking it at your table?

It's a steep $18 but worth every penny (oh, sorry, they don't make those any more). The REUBEN SANDWICH on toasted marble rye had Swiss cheese, the perfect mound of sauerkraut and thousand island dressing (ask them to go light on the slather) along with a bag of chips and a cookie. Top it off with the beverage of your choice -beer, wine, canned soda, etc.- and you have the perfect lunch or afternoon snack. On our way out we bought a couple pounds of the Smokehouse Jerky (Original, Pepper, & Teriyaki) and two pounds of the Smokehouse bacon. Made the car on our trip home smell great!!!! Seating inside is nice and you can people watch. I like to eavesdrop on the questions they ask the people behind the counter. You learn something new every time - LOL. Tables outside too but it was a tad too hot the day we visited to sit outside, even in the shade. Small, family-run establishment owned by Oregon natives. The artisan meat cutter and smokehouse expert are both third generation in the industry. Such a cute little town too, all cowboy-like and worth an afternoon of moseying the main street to see the shops. Just make sure you keep up your strength and have lunch at Sisters Meat and Smokehouse first.

I…read morewas so surprised at the review and I didn't think it was fair that they had such a low rating based on a single review and I wanted to even out the playing field. I have not been to the pumpkin patch, so I can't speak to that. My relationship with DD Ranch has been as a buyer of grass fed local meats. I have been purchasing from them directly on their website and found them to be very responsive and professional. I picked them after I went to Locavore and tried a steak from every grass fed vendor to figure out where we wanted to buy our meats. I think their beef is delicious and well packaged in butcher paper for the freezer. I'm so happy they are available for our area and will continue to support them and their family for a wonderful product and excellent customer service. Thank you!

I've thought a lot about the response from Charles and whether my negative review was warranted…read more It's troubling to me that the business has responded with a justification for treating children poorly, but not with a solution to their unsafe and worn out equipment. I must reiterate, several play structures were startlingly unfit for children to play on and in the short time we were there two children were hurt and another a very close call. No one was yelling "unwavering" when unsafe conditions were kept and equipment was falling apart, but to think it's acceptable to yell at children for not understanding ambiguous instruction is gross.

The one thing that was absent was the spinning wheel booth where children and adults can try their hand at spinning wool. (this is my mother-in-law who was giving me the tour of the market so she couldn't be at her booth) If I lived here, I would visit the market every week.

These guys aren't butchers...at least in the definition of the craft. They are more like those…read morebutchers in horror movies as they clearly don't know different cuts of meat and how they are prepared...they just seem to chop and saw wherever their blade might fall. My two packages of spare ribs, normally each would be a rack of ribs, but the butcher boys put in two cuts for each package that mostly missed the ribs. I've also bought brisket done by them and opened up to find the oddest looking brisket I've ever seen. I like to buy local farm raised meats and unfortunately, most of our local farmers use these guys for butchering. So if I want decent butchered central oregon meats, I have to do it myself (and I'm no butcher by any means). These guys are disgracing the craft and the animals they are "butchering".
