About Us
Welcome to Butcher and Barrel, Sacramento’s premier elevated casual dining experience nestled in the vibrant Downtown Corridor. We redefine the traditional steakhouse with a fresh, innovative approach—offering upscale cuisine in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Our menu features exclusively prime halal steaks, carefully selected for their exceptional quality. While our steaks are not sourced locally, we prioritize premium, responsibly sourced meats to ensure the best possible dining experience. We do, however, focus on using seasonal ingredients, fruits, and vegetables that change throughout the year to reflect the bounty of California’s local produce.
At Butcher and Barrel, we think outside the box—imagine sharing a massive 50 oz tomahawk, flambéed tableside for a dramatic and delicious experience. Our culinary team crafts each dish with passion and precision, ensuring every visit is memorable.
Family-owned and operated, we are committed to serving you without the influence of big-box, frozen ingredient corporations. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a night out, we invite you to experience Sacramento’s most unique steakhouse—where upscale meets casual, tradition meets innovation, and every meal is a celebration of quality and community.
