The Arrogant Butcher Review

Very cool vibe with friendly & helpful staff was knowledgeable about food allergies. Food was great & early happy hour is nice too!

Clean and tidy. The first thing I noticed was a good atmosphere. Food was good and the service was great too. Presentation of food was appealing. I would still go there for something a little different. We stopped there for a quick dinner on the way to my friend's house nearby.

Great food, drinks. Good atmosphere with open kitchen and bar.

Nice refreshing change...had wings...fries and salad...was not disappointed..

Went out of their way to make sure food allergies were taken care of. Staff was pleasant.

Super good meal the other day here. They easily deserve a 5 star review. Super thrilled with the way that everything turned out. Good trip overall

Great food and great environment. This is sort of the go-to business lunch spot downtown. Dinner is good but brings a slightly different crowd.

Was here on a business trip and stopped in for dinner. Amazing food, and a great beer selection!

Best Oyster & Shrimp Cocktail HH in the valley! Love this place!

Service was good, but food tasted like microwaved garbage. I WOULD DEFINENTLY NOT RECOMMEND THIS RIPOFF!

Went before a concert with the boss, my wife, and had a long wait. However, the staff was very friendly and seated us at the chef's bar (highly recommended) as soon as possible.

The food is outstanding, fresh, and artistically infused with flavor. Outstanding experience. This is now the go to place when in downtown Phoenix.

Don t make a reservation here unless you get every bit of info from the person you talked to. Called 10 days ago and made a reservation for 11 people, get here and magically there s no reservation. What a complete let down and terrible experience with no resolution.

This is my favorite dining experience in downtown Phoenix. If you go DO NOT skip dessert!

Right in the heart of downtown Phoenix. This Sam Fox restaurant doesn't disappoint.

Service is great, food is only OK and a bit overpriced.

The food and service was good. The food selection was different but great. The only critique is that the food pairings left a little too be desired. For example, we would have preferred that the meatloaf and mashed potatoes also include a vegetable. Overall, the dinner was great though. The chef's platter (meat/cheese) plate was great. The dinner was good too.

We went on a Friday night and made a reservation via open table. The atmosphere was great, I loved the decorations and the open concept, it didn't feel crowded even though it was packed. We ordered the spinach & artichoke dip, which was AMAZING. I order the salmon and it was a little dry but overall good. The drinks were really good as well, I am not a really big drinker so they accommodated my drink so it was that strong, which I really appreciated. The drink was called the Blood Orange Paloma, a must try. It was a $100 tab for 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and 4 drinks. Which is what I'd expect for a place like this.

Love the charcuterie choices. Absolutely delicious!

It's ok. Food was good. Nothing spectacular, Definately Corporate.

DON'T GO TO THIS STUPID PLACE WITH TERRIBLE FOOD AND GOOD SERVICE! WHAT IS THIS GIMMICK??!!

Was my first time there would definitely go again .
Food and the service was excellent!!!

Great food and even better service. Thank you Matthew

Wait staff for our large party was great (a dinner for conference attendees). Food was good. It's a busy place & I think the size of our group was too much for them to handle. I've done event/banquet serving and we should have never had to More

It was wonder. The food was great. I had the cheese burger which had great taste and the. Pretzel bun was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I also had the blueberry cheese cake. Delicious!!!!

Ok food but overpriced! The place is very nice and it's HUGE!

The food was tasty and the ambience nice. Very noisy during busy hours though! But youll enjoy it. Parking can be tricky but if you're feeling like manifesting the perfect spot you could snag one on the side street! Enjoy.

Great scallops if you have them hold the spice. Best to get dropped off if you don't want to walk to and from parking.

Food was tasty. Steaks were on the small size especially for the price . Busy place Staff were nice and attentive.

Fantastic scratch kitchen! Smaller portions but high quality and excellent flavor. Front of restaurant atmosphere is so-so, but the patio and back are fabulous. Great place for a business lunch or for a high-class yet casual dining experience.

Delicious food and good service for a reasonable price.

1st time here and it was great. Lived up to all of the reviews. I will be back!

Absolutely delicious in every way possible. We'd had a bit of a bummer that evening before this, but it really helped perk us right back up. I would eat here every day if I had the means. So good. We'll be back!

Tried this place for the first time with my little sister who raved about it and I was very pleased with the experience. All of the waiters were incredibly nice and very humble. They made you feel like home. I will definitely be returning.

Amazing food. We had an appetizer, drinks, and dessert. Cant say enough good things about the meatloaf. Tbh it was better than the prime rib, which was also excellent. Theres really no bad choices here

I went here with a group of 20 work friends.they did a fantastic job accommodating a party of our size! The servers were extremely friendly and the food was really really good! I would definitely come here again.

My top place for delicious American food. Food with real quality ingredients. The service was very friendly and attentive.

Overall it was good. Service was great, the apps were tasty. I'm dinging them a star bc they say lump crab meat for a dish and it was not lump crab. The burger is tasty!

The atmosphere is fantastic, but that s where the good experience ended. We had to ask for our appetizer plates to be cleared, several requests for drink refills went completely forgotten and only after multiple reminders to the waiter did it happen. And the burgers we ordered were all burnt and very dry. Not worth the price and very disappointed, especially with so many positive reviews on here.

The food was fantastic. Our server was horribly neglectful. All of the other tables were served well except ours. Almost makes me feel like our friend in the wheel chair was the reason our table received such poor service.

One of the best spots in downtown. Food is great, staff phenomenal, and a fun place to hang out at.

The food was delicious but the five star rating is for the excellent customer service we received. Oh, and the pork chop was well worth the wait!

This was very good but seating was so tight, tv was on and distracting, food was amazing and made it worth it

Amazing and efficient service. Highly recommend fish&chips

Amazing food at a moderate price and attentive service for our visit.

Great service and food was on point! Management did great job making us feel at home. Food was timely, tasty and hot.. no complaints

The waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the food, wine and beer. Ambiance is cool and quite.

Great dinner location before going to an event at Talking Stock Arena.

Great beef selection. Well prepared food. Attentive staff.

I went there once and it might have been an offday so make sure you take this with a grain of salt. The service was great but the food was alright. Given the hype surrounding the place I wasn't too impressed.

I ordered a Meatball and Rigatoni and I also got the Salmon entree. The meatball & rigatoni was good but it wasn't amazing. Like, I could make a similar standing meal. As for the Salmon entree, the root vegetables were roasted well, the sauce was also good, but the salmon itself was very dry.

I'll definitely try the place out again soon, though.

I've been here many times and it has always been great. The food is amazing, and is reasonably priced for the quality and location. Highly recommend the oysters. Bring some friends and get a charcuterie board. You won't be disappointed. They also have 1/2 off on bottles of wine every Thursday. You can't beat that.

The FRC group of restaurants in the Valley is consistently good, and Arrogant Butcher is no exception. The space is beautiful. Dark wood floors and really good lighting. Good lighting is key to a relaxing space. The food was good, not great. This is a meat and potato place, but if you want the best steaks, go to a steakhouse. This has much more charm. Portions are large. Service is friendly and attentive. I was mischarged last time (extra drink was added), and the waiter said it was mixed up from another table. I bought the excuse, don't think it was intentional. Overall, this is a good chill vibe spot. Not a raucous atmosphere but a place for a good substantial meal and good conversation.

Service was great. Burger was good. Friend ordered the French dip which he said had no flavor and the au jus was bland.

Over all it was a terrible evening spent at the Arrogant Butcher. From the food to the service to the atmosphere It was a just pretty bad. When I sent back one dish because there was something included that WAS NOT on the menu and I have some food restrictions it was returned soggy from the wet rag they used to wipe said item off plate.

The grilled salmon was really good. The service was also good.

Good food and a nice atmosphere. Had the short rib stew. It was spicy and delicious.

5 stars deserved for the food and staff that are truly awesome

The food was outstanding! The sweet potato tortelli was delicious, definitely worth a try. Service was good.

Stoped for a quick lunch and had the jambalaya, it was text book.
AMAZING! A Couple cocktails that were great. The wife tried an oyster for the first time and loved it, can't wait to go back.

Went here for some drinks and appetizers in Oct. 2019. It was after 8 pm on Friday so outdoor seating was a good option for us. The fresh oysters were very good, small but very fresh tasting with a great briney flavor. The steak salad was tasty with steak cooked medium rare. The buffalo chicken thighs were too heavily breaded and tasted greasy. The service could have been more attentive as we were waiting for drink reills, including water on 2 occasions.

Because of pictures seen on the internet I expected better ambience. I took a guest so expected better. Food was good. Service excellent by Steve.

The service was pleasant, the food was tasty. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

I had the prime rib and it was amazing. We were with a group of ten and had a really great experience. Really great staff and amazing food and drinks. The "snakeskin boots" was so delicious! Give it a go peeps!

Very pricey for the small portions. Good food, nice atmosphere, when you order meatloaf it is a nice size, small amount of potatoes, no vegetable or other side, yes, really. Otherwise a great place to eat. Seriously, no salad either....

The food is excellent and Lauren's service was exceptional. Highly recommended.

Horrible customer service. Called on Christmas Eve to verify hours, and was assured there was seating available for dinner. After walking from our hotel room, the hostess turns us away because there are no (non-reserved) tables available. Why was this information withheld when we called?

Ian was the most excellent server! He made the difference between a very good meal and an outstanding dining experience! We love you, Ian!

First time there and it took 10 minutes to get waited on while we sat there with 6 servers standing around the bar, probably never go back, very pricey also!!

The staff are fun, The service is fast! The foods are all good

An easy menu to choose from and an extensive list of wines and beers makes the decision process easy. For guests who like cocktails the bar serves specialty drinks with flair (think egg-white and lots of use of bitters). I went for the beef short rib stew which was amazing. The meatloaf is apparently very popular as it usually sells out nightly so arrive early if you want to try to dish. Make sure you start your meal with the pretzel ball and cheese fondue. Wow!
