B & B Butchers & Restaurant

B & B Butchers & Restaurant Restaurant Review:

Ben Berg’s two-story restaurant/butcher shop has a steakhouse dining room, two private rooms and a rooftop patio with spectacular views of downtown. Guests can spend an early evening noshing on miniature beef Wellingtons, Sicilian finger sandwiches of prosciutto and mozzarella and sipping a craft cocktail or two. But it’s also enjoyable downstairs in the main dining room where dry-aged beef from Texas, Kansas and Japan dominate the menu with big cuts and big price tags to match. Try the ten-ounce filet, served carpetbagger-style with a fried oyster and blue cheese crumbles. Or how about a classic Châteaubriand for two? The lunch menu is a bit lighter, filled with salads, pizzas and sandwiches like the hot and crusty roast beef with roasted peppers. There’s a fairly standard wine and beer menu and a few desserts, of which the standout is the open-face ice cream sandwich. The place is housed in a historic 1924 brick building and you can always just pop inside the lower level butcher shop for a steak or deli sandwich to take home.
