The Butcher Shop Beer Garden & Grill

Located in Wynwood, the Butcher Shop Beer Garden & Grill boasts an innovative concept — mashing a beer garden with a restaurant/butcher shop. Inside, a 24-foot meat case shows off cage-free Cornish hens, house-made sausages, chorizo, and cuts of USDA Prime Black Angus beef. Outside, a square bar serves craft beers, like Wynwood Brewing's IPA, from bottles and taps. But its menu is packed with disappointments: The fattoush salad, layered with radishes, cucumber, toasted pita, and squirts of labneh cheese, is overwhelmed by a cloying dressing. The sautéed spinach lacks salt, the sausages are dry, and the burger is underseasoned. Much more delectable are the restaurant's steaks and chicken wings, which are sticky, sweet, tender, and messy. Although the Butcher Shop seems like the perfect place for a young, budding neighborhood, it's mostly good only for drinking beer.
