Butcher and Barrel

Butcher and Barrel is the first fine dining restaurant we have found in this area. By fine dining I mean attention to every detail: The atmosphere is beautiful, in a historic register bank building, beautifully restored, the tables are well spaced, the seats are elegant and comfortable. The menu is creative and quality. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The caprese salad, French onion soup, queen filet, salmon, crepe brûlée and creative cocktails were all 10/10.

Classy fine restaurant.I took my older brother to this new place on his 71st birthday November 15, 2024. We heard good things about it, and I had walked by it. It's a new place on the 4th street strip, which is a very atmospheric shopping area in Dubois County, and worth the trip for any visitors.Some local diners went out of business, so new places were needed.There is already one fine dining restaurant on this easy to walk, well lit, decorated two block area called Mama T, so this one gives the shopping area a real genuine atmosphere of class.The name is too hard to remember. I keep trying to remember the name, but even now I have to look up at the name of the place. There is nothing which one can relate "Butcher and Barrel" for the memory. It's a clashing phrase, so it will likely be called "B and B" some day soon.My brother had steak, and I'm not able to eat most mammal meat without getting sick, so I opted for the vegetable lasagna.My brother really loved the steak, and liked it more than the steak at Mama T. I thought the lasagna was okay, but not as good as Mama T. There was no garlic bread for lasagna, but that's okay. We both had baked potato, and they were very liberal with butter and sour cream. Next time, I will try salmon and a couple of veggie sides. Everything was fresh and nice, but just not as nice as Mama T for the lasagna meal, although it seems B and B specializes in the meat dishes. That might give visitors an inkling of which place to visit first, although I believe if someone has the time, to visit both of these fine places. B and B appears to please the meat lovers, and Mama T's the balanced meal lovers.There are a growing number of eateries on the strip now, for all walks of life. B and B is for the nice fine dining. The service is excellent, the staff friendly, the wine very good, and it's just a great place. There is also an upstairs area which I would like to sit at if I go again, because there you get a view of the outside, and the strip is very pleasant to view.I am very happy to see this place open, because it helps to make the Huntingburg experience something that may be a national treasure, although I would like to keep it our little secret myself.

Pricey, but a really lovely high end restaurant in a nice little part of town. We aren't overly familiar with the area, but this seems like a unique dining option. On the night we attended, business was brisk and our food was terrific. Would recommend.

We had such a nice time here for a lunch with many of the women in my family. I had the butternut squash soup which was excellent. And then the salmon blt with mini salad as the entree which was also very good. Everything had great flavor and was cooked very well. The ambiance and service are also great. We will go back to try more of the menu!

The food and service was amazing!! The selection of bourbon was impressive. Great place. We highly recommend.

This family run place has exceptional food! This is the best place to get a steak in the area. I had 2 cocktails, Hamiltons Sin Garden and Amish Astronaut, both were top notch. They have an excellent bourbon selection. My husband and I had the shrimp cocktail, 2 different cuts of steak and the crème brûlée. Everything was high quality. It's in an old bank building, the furnishings and soft music makes this a perfect date location.

Recently visited while visiting family in southern IN. Awesome spot---great space (old remodeled bank building, which was lovingly restored to a great restaurant space), stellar service (Cheryl our waitress was the best!), and great food. The bourbon list is likely 2nd to none in the entire county!Our group of 8 had steaks, shrimp & grits, and salmon---all plates were empty!Highly recommend a visit!PS--if you are booking a table for 2--ask for the Vault room--wildly impressive door!
