About The Butcher's Tale

The Butcher's Tale is an artisanal steakhouse on Hennepin Avenue in the Harmon District, open since 2021. The kitchen runs a wood-fire grill — house-smoked meats, hand-cut steaks including Minnesota and Japanese Wagyu, house-made sausages, and fresh seafood in the main dining room, with a casual beer garden out back (the Butcher's Garden) doing burgers, fried chicken, and handmade brats. A Kaskaid Hospitality room that splits the difference between upscale dining and patio comfort food, it sits right on the Hennepin Avenue theater strip downtown.
