Butcher & The Boar

I have been anxiously waiting to eat at Butcher & the Boar for quite a while.  It finally worked out to go last night.  I was so impressed; the meat is incredible.  By now you know that I'm an experienced carnivore, specifically in the rib space, but I was particularly impressed with the B&TB's long ribs.  They were so tender and juicy and the glaze was perfect.  We also enjoyed the duck jerk sausage and the pork and cheddar sausage.  We also ordered the fried tomatoes, spicy brussels sprouts, and the wood fired sweet potatoes.  Just phenomenal food.  Thankfully we had a friend to share everything with, and were able to try a lot of things on the menu.  They even had Wyders pear cider on tap which was delicious.  I cannot wait to go back and try other things on the menu. 

Apart from the mouth-watering food and the abundance of craft beer, wine, bourbon, and alcohol, the ambiance is really cool as well.  They have a large bar, dining area, and they even have an outdoor beer garden that is heated in the winter.  Very cool place to check out during any of Minnesota's wonderful seasons. I highly recommend planning ahead and making reservations.  We've tried to walk in several times and they haven't had any availability.

LOVE.
