What people say
The Butcher Shop Steakhouse located on Kearny Villa Road in San Diego has received mixed reviews from newspaper critics.
A recent review by San Diego Union-Tribune published in May 2019 praised the restaurant for its "juicy cuts of meat" and "impressive wine list". However, the critic also noted that some dishes were hit or miss, including the lobster bisque which was described as "too creamy and bland".
Another review by The San Diego Reader from February 2020 gave a more critical opinion. The reviewer found that despite the high prices, the steak lacked flavor and was overcooked. They also noted slow service and an underwhelming side dish of mashed potatoes.
Customer reviews online reflect a similar range of opinions. One customer on Yelp praised their "amazing steak" and "excellent service", while another reviewer was disappointed with their dry and tough ribeye. However, one sentiment echoed by many customers is the complimentary garlic bread which is said to be a must-try.
Overall, it seems that while The Butcher Shop Steakhouse can deliver quality meals, there are inconsistencies in both food quality and service that should be addressed to ensure a consistently positive dining experience for guests.
