| - Meat. Meat. Meat. What girl doesn't love her meat. ;]
The Butcher Block offers some damn good BBQ burgers. The patties weigh in at 1/2 pound each, which is great. One patty is good enough to fill a person [which is great for me, because it's less grilling that I have to do =p]. Put some cheese, bacon, and crispy onions - and you have one hell of a burger. The price is a bit high for my liking at 4.99/lb, but it's just too good not to buy.
My first trip there, I ordered about a pound of the hot carne asada. It had the perfect amount of heat, at least for me anyway. I'm one of those people who LOVE LOVE LOVE spicy food, but am too wimp to handle it. So, this carne asada was perfect for me. Wasn't too spicy in the beginning, but slowly builds up to a tolerable heat as you keep eating. Any food that does, is a winner to me. To you lucky ones who can handle the spicy foods, it may not be hot enough for you.
What I think I love most about the butcher block is not only do they offer your traditional meats [pork,chicken,beef], they also offer a selection of not so traditional stuff. Elk, wild boar, gator, buffalo, & more. So all the things that you've always wanted to try [or that I've at least wanted to try !] are available.
And if that isn't enough - they also offer Boar's Head products, a variety of cheese, and you can even order sub sandwiches from them. I also noticed they have an offering of side dishes if you so choose to get those along with your meat. The only things I can remember off the top of my head were the potato salad & stuffed mushrooms... although there was more of a selection. I think I remember seeing asparagus, but don't quote me on that.
All in all - a great place to go for some fresh meat or [and I can't stress this enough] some amazing BBQ burgers. The owner seems friendly enough, just as other people say in their reviews - but I personally haven't had a chance to talk with him. But, I'm sure I'll have the opportunity. I'll definitely be a regular customer.
