About this place
Burgers at Butcher's Table in Oizumigakuen arrive thick enough to test the limits of their paper wrappers, demanding two hands and an eager bite. Between toasted buns rest juicy, coarsely textured beef patties and fresh vegetables that release rich savory juices as you chew. For an unadorned look at the meat itself, the signature Butcher's Burger makes a satisfying starting point, while the Grilled Cheese Burger, draped in both cheddar and gouda (2 cheeses in all), appeals to anyone after deeper, richer layers.
The menu ranges widely, from the American Special Burger stacked with bacon, fried egg, and barbecue sauce to the creamy Avocado Cheese Burger, alongside multi-patty options built for serious appetites. Diners can customize their orders with toppings such as jalapeños, chili beans, or extra eggs. Alongside each burger comes a serving of French fries, traditionally enjoyed here with the diner's house-made tomato ketchup. Flecked with finely minced vegetables, the mild, rounded condiment makes it easy to keep reaching for more potatoes.
While waiting for a burger or gathering with companions, the kitchen turns out classic starters: fish and chips made with lightly battered cod, house tartar sauce, and malt vinegar; crispy onion rings; and Butcher's Nachos loaded with chili beans and melted cheese. Drinks carry through the diner theme, with stadium-sized colas sharing the list with Shiga Kogen IPA, Brooklyn Lager, and other craft bottles. Surrounded by vintage toys and retro comic prints, guests can drop in for a weekday lunch with fries or spend an evening exploring craft beer alongside hearty plates of classic American cooking.
