This was my first trip to this butcher shop. The high prices locally for stew beef have gotten…read moreinsanely expensive! It's 6.99 USD. per. Lb. My wise wife thought about this meat store because it's where our daughter shops and gave them a call. The stew beef here was on special at 5.99 per. Lb. Still my upper limit price wise! I made the quick twenty mile trip and did a good look around before I made my purchase. Most meat items here were extremely expensive, even more so than in my hometown! Nevertheless, I got a butcher to package two one and a half pound packs of this very nice looking stew beef for me. Likely the nicest and most lean I've ever seen! I will most definitely return to this butcher shop the next time they have something on sale! Thanks! ..... Joe T.

The combination of attentive service, high-quality steaks, and a standout bourbon selection makes it a spot worth seeking out in Valdese.[1][2][3] ## Service and Hospitality Austin provided friendly, knowledgeable service, with spot-on recommendations and consistent follow-up throughout the meal, which really elevated the evening. The staff quickly seated the party of four and acknowledged the celebration for the wife's birthday, helping the night feel special from the start. When one filet needed a bit more sear, the owner personally stepped in, oversaw the re-fire, and had it returned to the table cooked perfectly. That level of ownership and responsiveness showed real commitment to **hospitality**. ## Food and Preparation Entrées arrived beautifully plated and cooked to appropriate temperatures, which is especially important at a butcher-driven concept known for its meats. The corrected filet came back with the ideal sear and doneness, reinforcing confidence in the kitchen's skill.[2][1] Portioning and presentation aligned with expectations for a farm-to-table steakhouse, highlighting the quality of their locally sourced meats.[3][1] ## Bourbon Library The bourbon library is a major highlight, offering an impressive selection of hard-to-find bottles that adds a distinctive draw for whiskey lovers. It pairs perfectly with their meat-focused menu and makes Highlands Butchery feel like a destination, not just a neighborhood spot.[4][1][2] Having such depth behind the bar also supports Austin's recommendations, allowing guests to explore pours they may not encounter elsewhere. ## Atmosphere and Noise The only real drawback of the evening was the room volume, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. Given how popular and lively the space can be, some additional noise baffles or acoustic treatments could help deaden the sound and make the dining room more comfortable without losing the energetic vibe. With that one improvement, this experience would easily move from a 4.5 to a full 5 out of 5, especially given the strength of the service, food, and bourbon program!

A good sale price in my hometown would be about 5.99 a lb.

I'm satisfied that they buy directly from them and cut out the middleman! I didn't see anything that wasn't fresh or that didn't look nice! The people employed here are knowledgeable and friendly!

I entered today and saw a nice variety. This place keeps a five day a week schedule and opens 8:30 am. This store is owned by the Brown family that also operates the slaughterhouse next door. The meat looked fresh and it should be under the circumstances. I did gig them one star because I've been told that the beef here is from cattle with an undocumented diet history. It seems that professional packing houses require a documented feeding history. I'm not sure if this is important; but I'd like to know before I make a purchase.
