The Story
Butcher Board officially opened its doors in September 2016, with its first location in downtown McKinney just a few blocks away from where it started. The brainchild of Johnny Carros, who is no stranger to the world of food, the restaurant's concept grew out of his love for crafting quality sandwiches and the desire to bring a unique dining experience to the city.
The restaurant's design reflects its history as an old gas station, with exposed pipes and infrastructure that adds to the overall charm of the place. The bright, open space features a long bar that faces the street, as well as a cozy outdoor seating area surrounded by picnic tables. Butcher Board aims to be a family-friendly spot, offering a variety of sandwiches, sides, and desserts, all made fresh on-site. The atmosphere is laid-back yet inviting, with a focus on creating a comfortable dining experience for all.
The Menu
The heart of Butcher Board's menu is its sandwich line, which changes daily to keep things interesting. The Smoked Brisket, a favorite among regulars, is slow-cooked and tender, topped with a house-made barbecue sauce. The Porchetta, a roasted pork dish wrapped with pork belly and topped with caramelized onions, is another customer favorite. For those with a more mild palate, the chili rubbed turkey with Sriracha mayo offers a comforting mix of flavors without the heat.
Butcher Board also offers a range of salads, hot dogs, and sides to complement their sandwiches. Their homemade sides, which include coleslaw, potatoes, and cornbread, are made from fresh ingredients and are a great way to experience the restaurant's culinary prowess. And don't forget about their delicious desserts, such as the classic apple pie or chocolate lava cake.
