The dining room is just as eclectic as the menu.

Cheerwine can be found in almost any restaurant in South Carolina. They use only cane sugar to sweeten it- no high fructose corn syrup. For anyone unfamiliar with it, Cheerwine is a locally made cola with cherry flavoring. There is a selection of beer but I wanted a Cheerwine. Then there are the standard items, like fries and ketchup. Then there’s the Mushroom Confit with garlic. However, you still get the nutritional benefits of the beets so eat up. Who doesn’t love beets? OK, a lot of people, but the beets are not really prominent in this burger. The Vegetarian Beet Burger is amazing and right up my alley. The Falafel with pickled radish and arugula were placed on top of a spicy yogurt sauce that added incredible flavor. A nice portion of torn kale topped with crushed peanuts. We fell in love with the Kale Salad with Peanut Dressing from Houstons so this was a no brainer for us. We also ordered the Kale Salad with soy, sesame and peanuts. Probably my most favorite sprouts dish I have ever had in a restaurant. The sprouts were cooked in a spicy sauce and topped with fresh herbs. We had to try the Curried Brussels on the Butcher and Bee menu. This is a sandwich I could see winning big awards and praise against any pulled pork version any day.Īnyone who reads any of my blog regularly know that both Chad and myself are obsessed with brussel sprouts. The taste was smoky and tangy and topped with sweet and sour pickles. I would never miss the meat here, the Pulled Squash melted in my mouth. I had read some reviews online from both Vegetarians and meat eaters alike, just raving about how unbelievably delicious this sandwich was. Perhaps the most interesting item on the menu in all my visits have been the Pulled Squash Sandwich with BBQ sauce and smoked slaw. The menu is written on a chalkboard when you first walk in and while it is not very big, it is very unique. The only way to find the ever changing daily menu is on Facebook or Twitter. There is only a small sign painted on an adjoining building but it is well worth the hunt to get here. Just slightly north of the downtown area, Butcher and Bee is hidden next to a photography studio and the High Wire Distillery. We were looking for a unique restaurant to try some fresh and local fare on a recent trip to Charleston, SC and we found the perfect place- Butcher and Bee.
