Best Barbecue Restaurants in Mendota Heights

Very good services - had a dinner there on Thanksgiving evening. This place was busy, expected. We went for a la carte as the set menu has many things that we did not need. The portion of the expensive Kobe style kalbi short rib is very small, nothing like the picture. I would say half at best. The beef tongue is good with the scallions sauce. Shrimps are good but pork is meh.

We celebrated thanksgiving here and the food was great. I would go back for the grilled pineapple alone-it was amazing! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Many people stopped at our table to see if we had any requests or needs fresh plates. Everyone went above and beyond and were so friendly and warm. We will definitely be back!

Great ambiance, wonderful service,our server was amazing, super personable. We will be back!!

Thank you Butcher’s Tale for making my birthday so special! First off, our server Meesh (sp) was an absolute gem. She was friendly, knowledgeable and her attitude was confident yet casual. As a queer couple, sometimes we get treated weirdly but Meesh was absolutely excellent and welcoming. The server assistants were also top notch and very attentive. The food was immaculate! The pork chop was roughly the size of a king mattress and I have no idea how the kitchen managed to cook such a mighty chop to absolute perfection. My steak was one of the best I’ve ever had and the key lime pie almost made me cry tears of joy, and yet I despair I will never again find its equal. We will we back! Also I don’t drink anymore but the whiskey list was very impressive! Thank you everyone!

This was a first experience for me and I sat in Char Bar. The waitress was great, she was accommodating and attentive. I throughly enjoyed the drinks. I had the teaches of peach drink and it was so well made and perfectly balanced. I ordered the blue crab beignets and they were absolutely delicious, so light fluffy and full of crab meat. For my entree I ordered the salmon and it was crispy on the outside and so soft and well cooked on the inside. The flavor was just right. I would definitely dine here again. There’s much more on the menu I’d like to try.
