The Butcher's Table — Restaurant in Dunn

Edit: Went back and gave them a second shot. Same server. (She even remembered us!) Got there earlier (around 5pm) and this time the service was prompt, friendly and excellent. The food again was delicious. I still think they cook their medium rare a bit too pink but the filet mignon and ribeye are just outstanding cuts of meat. Blooming onion is perfectly done. Great selection of bourbons and scotch. Maybe adding coffee and dessert (some cheesecake in the fridge?) would be a nice touch. But this visit was excellent. Great steakhouse and worth the visit.

(First review) Tough review to write. Food superb. (Although medium rare steaks were served medium.) People are friendly as you can get. But the problem is they don't know how to run a restaurant. There can be no excuse for arriving at 6:30 pm, being seated shortly before 7 and not receiving your dinner until after 8. There can be no excuse for watching three parties arrive after you and all being seated before you. There can be no excuse to see one of those parties, with a different server, finishing their meal, paying and leaving before you even get your main course served. Maybe it was our server - she rarely checked on us and we had to ask her to check on our order it was talking so long. Don't know if I will be back. Steaks were great but I think the poor restaurant management and below par service outbids the food. ...

Solid 4.5 stars.

The food is absolutely fantastic. This is probably my new favorite place to get steak. The fried onion was delicious, and I feel it was a more than fair deal.

The ONLY reason this restaurant is not getting 5 stars is the seating. At first we were seated in a corner and I had to asked to move because I’m claustrophobic and felt boxed in. The staff was extremely accommodating and so kind! Once we were moved, the booths were just too far apart. For my husband and I to sit across from each other and still reach the table I had to scoot to the very edge of the bench and had no back support. It felt like there was a mile between me and the table, and my husband felt the same on the other side.

All in all, the seating took away from the experience a little, but I’d deal with it for the delicious food. If they just adjust their seating slightly this would be 5 stars in a heartbeat. I will definitely be going back and will edit this review if the seating situation...

My husband and I enjoyed our first trip very much! We started with the blooming onion which was amazing. It was not greasy at all and had a good crisp to it. We both ordered steak; I ordered a filet and he ordered a ribeye. Our steaks were delicious and flavorful. The best steaks we have had in a really long time. Salads were portioned well! The only minor thing I would suggest is a different bread (it was a roll that was a little hard and not much taste). I think something like Texas toast or a brown loaf would be a better option. But, honestly, by the time the bread came with the meal, we had already had the blooming onion and salad, so not too important. Our waitress was very attentive and you could tell all the staff was working really hard!!! Great...
