Butcher Block Steakhouse Reviews

When the Sun Started to go down.....THEY MAY WANT TO DROP THE DOOR DOWN A BIT ....HAD TO USE MY MENU TO KEEP ALL THE SUN OUT OF MY EYES SO I COULD ORDER...:((((((( JUST A SMALL PIECE OF ADVICE..OTHER THAN THAT ALL WAS GOOD!! OH AND THE FOOD AND SERVICE WAS GREAT!!!

Make sure your phone is charged, they under quote your wait time by a good 15 to 20 min. Bartender wasnt very attentive either.

Service was quick. Poor fish tanks need help. Mom got a sirloin. Cook to her order but extremely tough. My burger was good. Daughter got Turkey club. She said the turkey tasted bad. Sorry, won't be coming back.

The steaks were super tender and flavorful. They have the best brussel sprouts I've ever had...and I don't even like brussel sprouts.

The wait was really short for a Saturday night, the food was absolutely wonderful, and the waitress did a great job with service. I wish I could remember her name. Parking was plentiful.

Very good food. Had a hamburger with Gouda cheese very good.

Best food in the area. You wont leave hungry. Fun to watch the shark and ray in the salt aquarium.

Nice outdoor patio area - love the Big Steer sandwich with lyonnais potatoes

Always a great place, Good selection of craft beer, great food but a little pricey on steaks. Still 5 Stars... got the monster burger..and Volcano. Volcano is a meal by itself for 2 people

Probably the best Delmonico Rib Eye I have ever eaten. The service was great and food did not disappoint. Prices are a little high considering the location but taste and service made it worthwhile. We were visiting from out of town and this place was recommended to us and I would do the same to others.

Horrible experience! Don t waste your time or money! Went here for our 6 year anniversary and my wife wanted a good steak. I really wanted to try the aged ribeye. They were out.... settled for my second choice... out! Whatever. Disappointedly chose something else. Wife ordered a mignon medium well, it came out raw. Sent it back to the kitchen to cook more. Asked for my steak medium rare, it came out fully cooked and chewy! Ridiculous and unacceptable for a steakhouse!!! One not having available what s on the menu and two, don t even know how to cook a steak! I grill steaks better at home. I even had to get up myself and go to he bar to get a flippin refill on my soda! Poor service! Waste of $100! Save yourself!

Please read before saying no to this wonderful place because of the lower star reviews !

This place is amazing. The atmosphere and the employees are bar none attentive and quick.

The food :
Had a 10oz sirloin steak rare that was so juicy and amazing it needed no other sauces to accompany it. The Kickn Macn cheese with a very slight hint of spice was perfect and made the asparagus even better with it's delicious cheesy sauce to dip in ! Then I enjoyed an amazing carrot cake that was just the perfect size and the presentation was beautiful.

Shout out to the awesome/funny waiter !
I'd like mention our wonderful waiter who was a tall blonde male who's been doing his job for 20+ years. He made the experience eating here even better because he was funny and very comfortable to be waited by. The reason why I am telling you this is because some waiters can truly ruin what could be a wonderful experience to eat at.

I will definitely come back to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and amazing food again !

A great place for my friends wedding. The food was really good too

Listen, I love this place and will always come back. But they just put pepperoni in my cobb salad. It's suppose to have bacon. Have you ever had pepperoni in a salad? No, because nobody wants that in a salad. Always having to check the salad to make sure it has the proper ingredients. It does only 80% of the time. Pepperoni, and 3 tiny bits of avocado.

Very good food. Fish acquarium filthy gross to see when eating

Beautiful venue for a beautiful wedding, service, staff, food, drinks, amazing, great place!!!!

Old bait and switch for the Outback bowl, 20 for all the freezer trash you can eat.

The staff was very welcoming and observant. The place has an awesome feel to it.

Best flavor steak, great salad and mashed potatoes.

Food was luke warm at best. Not acceptable for a $300 bill.

Steak is amazing. Kind of expensive though. Check out the IPAs!

Very nice restaurant. Includes an awesome patio area w/ fire pits. Great beer selection. Best fish tacos in town. Highly recommended.

Most of the time its a 5* experience. However, consistency has sometimes been an issue. Our most recent experience we ordered take-out and the food quality was not what we had come to expect. I feel its better to eat-in than carryout if possible.

Fantastic food, great service and overall great atmosphere!

Bar was empty and the bartenders were busy talking .. with each other. No stuffed olives for martini. Appetizers took 25 minutes to come. When you charge $30 for a steak ... your service should be excellent. This place is way way overrated and priced.

Very restful environment & enjoyable culinary experience.

Food was fantastic, server was nice. However, the service sucked. This is the second time I've been here, the wait has been absurdly long on both occasions.

I sat at the bar and service was great. I really enjoyed the rosemary potatoes.

Delicious food and always good servers or management stepping up to back them up if super busy.

Nice waitress. Food was not good. A birthday party of about 20. Almost all adults had to send their orders back to the kitchen. I ordered prime rib medium well with a light sear. Got a completely charred piece of some kind of meat that was about 1/2 inch thick(?!?!) Replacement was a tough eating medium well with no sear that tasted like it had been in the freezer too long. All guests complained of freezer taste for all dishes. This was my 2nd try. We won't be back.

Handle the group of 25 on a Saturday night without a hitch! Amazing variety on the menu. Great service! Go out of your way to eat here

Nice lunch was able to sit on the patio. The waiter did a nice job and the food was good. Reasonable amount of food for the price.

Great steaks and ambiance. Wonderful service and overall experience. Would definitely recommend and return for a great meal and evening!

This food is fresh. Seafood is delicous! Great service. Steak was cooked to perfection. Best food i have ever had in Iowa! Wine selection was big.

Great food! Excellent beer and drink selection. Love the steaks and apps. This is a must when I'm in town.

The friendly greeting and our great server, Therio, were the highlights of our visit. There is a good vibe among the servers that really add to the atmosphere. Our food was pretty good, just overly large portions. Steaks were all cooked correctly but we couldn't finish our meals. French Soup was tasty but only comes in a very large bowl, so unless you are REALLY hungry I would not order it again as a side, maybe as a meal with a side or appetizer.

This is a must visit in Cedar Rapids. It does not look the best outside, but its a fun restaurant. Great food.

We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. Great atmosphere better food. I would consider it more high end so perfect for an engagement or to impress someone. Always at the top of my list to take people close to me out for their birthday or special occasion.

Dined here multiple times over a year. Always exceptional meals and service. Personally recommend salads and ribs.

Been there 4 times and the steak was exceptionally fatty. For $32 a streak the overall value is not worth it. Nice atmosphere out side.

We have enjoyed this place many times and will return again

A great place to meet friends and enjoy a above average meal in nice surroundings...the staff is very helpful and prompt with everything.

Food took a little while but was very good. I didn't hear anyone in our party complain. My salad was great. Waitress was friendly and efficient.

Service was standard, knowledge of the menu was lack luster. Your staff needs to know the difference between vegetarian and vegan, significant! Vegans eat more than just salad, other restaraunts in town have figured this out.

All around great menu. A top place in Cedar Rapids to get a quality steak.

Wine choices was not the best. Very disappointed with my choices. Tried 6 different wines, maybe because they were previously opened, not good. Tasted all old. Food was ok, nothing special. No ranch with wings, 4 sauces, only liked one. Not your normal sauces, 6 of us doesn't care for any of them. The wontons aren't wontons, more like pot stickers but not crispy. Very disappointed. But they were very busy.

I didn t have high hopes to begin with, but thought I d at least try.
I love dry aged beef and was very excited to read a Cedar Rapids menu that offered a 65 day aged Bone-In. However, it was NOT a dry aged steak. Very disappointing.
The silverware and glasses were also not so clean.
Staff was pleasant, but I Wouldn t recommend this place for food. Definitely smoke and mirrors. No reason to complain, as the staff has no clue about a Great steak. Took 5 bites, Paid and left quickly. Went to eat elsewhere.

Excellent, top-notch steak, even a wholly grass-fed option. I had a wonderful time out for my wife's birthday. Zack was a very good server. My only regret is not stuffing in a dessert of some kind.

Sweet place and the food was awesome. I ordered 2 entrees. Pure gluttony.

Great staff, amazing food, will definitely be going back.

Strawberry daquri was $8.00 and tasted like bug spray, also hardly no alcohol in the drinks, other drinks came 1/2 full in the glass. There was a total of 5 people in our group and not one of them liked their drinks. Went their on a monday night so maybe it was just bad help working at that time..... but for the price of the drinks they at should of been alot better.

Stopped for drinks, have had great steak, great service

Holiday Bowl event at the Venue. Great event. Good food.

Party of 10, took 45 minutes to get the main course. 2 people ordered BLTs, neither of them had tomatoes on them. Glasses and silverware not the cleanest. My burger was great though...

Way over-priced! If you're the type of person who enjoys wasting money or simply appearing flashy then this the perfect place for you. This place offers an array of items and/or trivial elements to help encourage you to piss your money away. These include but are not limited to: ambience, decor, A La Mode, small portions, etc. The taste of the food isn't anything exceptional but the price tag is. The only thing I can think of that was worthy of the price was the waiters/service. To think of what I could have gotten from Texas Roadhouse for what I paid at this place boggles my mind.

Really nice place. Drinks were great, apps perfect. Very good service. Only issue was my steak was overcooked where medium had Zero pink.

Pretty friendly and promote service. Food was great and service was also good. Prices could be better but overall a great experience.

Beautiful event room excellent service great choice of food for whole family food was prepared perfectly everyone in my party enjoyed the atmosphere they provided speakers that we used with our own music plenty of space and gorgeous decor private no interuptions from outsiders definitely going to book our next party here again

My remarks would probably even better but they serve my appetizer and my main course at the same time My server was very good I was at the bar My steak was very good!

Food was excellent and very nice environment. The restaurant was clean . The staff was professional and friendly made you feel comfortable . The also seemed like they care about you and your experience with them . The prices are not to bad expensive ranging from 15.00 - 36.00 dollars .

Nice place for a steak, although I did not have one. Went here for a team lunch. Ordered smoked chicken and it was really nice.

I recommend the Smothered Chicken, a very tasty dish. The Kickin Mac and Cheese and the Brussels Sprouts are great sides.

I've had fantastic experiences there. In the summer time they have propane fireplaces near the tables for a romantic experience. The only downside is the service is sometimes pretty slow making it feel understaffed.

The chicken marsala was delicious. Decent beer selection, too.

Excellent steaks, great atmosphere. Had the 10 oz. Sirloin and it was cooked to perfection. Steak was seasoned just right. Had probably the best tater tots I ever had. Light and crispy. Quick service was provided by Jarrett.

The best steak I have ever had. Amazing food and large portions.
