Charlotte’s favorite butcher shop turned specialty restaurant opened its doors at Langtree in Mooresville  last week. Block & Grinder opened in Charlotte in 2013 with the concept of “everything under one roof” bringing high quality meats from the butcher block to the dinner table. The Lake Norman location is twice the size of the location on Providence Rd with an expanded retail selection with butcher and bottle shops.
The menu features traditional items like filet mignon, beef tartare and foie gras as well as a Cajun-spiced bison burger and a rotating wild game selection. For your non-meat loving friends, there’s trout, fried oysters and even an anti-burger (aka a veggie burger). All of their meats, seafood, produce and more are local sourced in NC – many from the Charlotte area.
Block & Grinder also offers artisanal bread and cheeses, craft cocktails and an extensive beef and wine selection. The Langtree location also features a Chef’s Table and a private event space.
Perhaps the most unique feature at Block & Grinder is that you can order their hand-cut meats to go (as well as wine) so you can replicate your favorites (or at least try) at a backyard bbq for all your friends. To celebrate their new location, Block & Grinder is giving away a $25 gift card to one lucky scoopTheLake reader – entry form & details below. Make sure you check them out soon and tell them your friends at Scoop sent you!
