• Farm-to-table • St. Catharines
Booked 13 times today
Reservations are open for dinner only, lunch is walk ins only. What’s in the name you ask? We don’t really know, other than the fact that it has a good ring to it. Nothing really about this place makes much sense. Are we a butcher shop or a restaurant? Are we a butcher shop inside of a restaurant? Or a restaurant inside of a butcher shop? In our spare time we like to build fires and cook food over wood, you can hire us to do that. We make all of our own charcuterie in house, and we’re determined to get better at that everyday. How do two concepts operate together in harmony? We don’t really know yet, but we will work at it ‘til it’s seamless. One thing we do know, all of the meat served and sold between these four walls is strictly derived from whole animals butchered in-house, sourced from happy places.

    It's was my first time going to Mullberry's. Friends have told me how great the food was. So I had to see for myself. Went on Christmas Eve and was very impressed. The decorations in the bar are were amazing. The lasagna was fabulous. The portion was huge. The staff was super friendly! Overall, I have to say I can't wait to go again.!!

    Drove through a storm to make it for our reservation and it was worth it! Came for that chicken parm you see all over social media. The chicken was so tender and moist and the it was topped with so much gooey cheese. It did not disappoint! My second favorite thing was the meatballs in the Italian Wedding soup. It was such a surprise biting into one. The most tender meatballs I've ever had. And the pasta in the soup was al dente. Calamari was very good but If they tweaked the breading I think it could be better as it would fall off as you are picking it up with a fork. The sauce is very unique and delicious. Half spicy arrabbiata and half cooling parm. The carbonara was a bit on the salty side but the sauce was super creamy and had a good amount of meat. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food comes out pretty quick and it's very high quality. We're already planning to come back for that amazing parm again and to try some other dishes. Thank you for the amazing experience!
