The food for the price lacked in taste. They also did not have the bass that I overhead other people wanting to have also. You should also be able to get happy hour specials in the whole restaurant. I was told "you are not saving much" but hey it would be nice to save a little. There are other places in town that are much better.

We really enjoy Butch's. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the music are consistently pleasant and worth the slightly higher cost.

Great ambience and wonderful service. I had the burrata chicken and my husband had the filet mignon. The food was great, but seemed a little pricey for the amount served. Overall, a good experience; we’ll return.
