    We were there a couple years ago...surprised to have Mitchell again as our server he's still awesome!!! Actually remembered us before we mentioned we had him before. I think the young lady who gets us and who I spoke to on our way out is the manager. Very professional and great at her job!

    Everything was absolutely delicious, we had the same burger and also the burnt end tacos, both were amazing! We had their cocktail drinks - I had watermelon splash and husband had a "new-fashioned, banana" we enjoyed them both very much. Our son had their grilled cheese and he was doing his little dance in his chair enjoying it as well. We will definitely be back when we visit Wilmington again!

    We chose to go to Butcher and Barrel for Easter Brunch and could not have been happier. What a great choice. The food was so good and very creative dishes! When we are back in Wilmington, we will need to come by again.

    What a wonderful experience and delightful food. Truly one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, from the steak, mac n cheese, and even the vegetables. The salad was crisp and so fresh. The next day I shared some of my leftover steak with my son. He said, "This is the best steak I've ever had in my life!" The funny part was it was Easter Sunday, and we were having steak for dinner. We had to compare the steak from the night before to dad's steak hot off the grill. Still, my son said, "Sorry dad, but the leftover steak was way better!" Thank you, George Clark, for introducing me to Butcher and Barrel by True Blue.

    The burnt ends tacos were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had! Also, you can’t go wrong with the fries.

    Although the hostess who greeted us and seated us was less than pleasant, not smiling, and not speaking upon entrance, the waitress and the food was excellent. Overall the experience was great once seated. The lighting was ideal. If you can get past the front door experience you’ll absolutely love the place.
