Remember the days when your local butcher was the cornerstone of the community? The Block pays tribute to that era with a full service meat counter complemented by artisanal appetizers and a locally inspired, seasonally changing menu. Begin your meal with the house-made pretzels dipped in smoked cheddar with caramelized onions or the flash fried Brussels sprouts, which will leave you wondering why your Mom never made them this way growing up. Next, move onto the farmhouse Block burger topped with a fried egg or put your fate in the hands of the chef himself with the butcher’s cut. Bonus points for their happy hour specials: $5 apps, $5 wines and $5 craft cocktails. And if that isn’t enough to entice you, their patio offers diners ample seating for any date night, family meal or business meeting.
