Downtown Butcher And Merchantile

3 strikes, this place is out! I've given Downtown Butcher 3 chances and it's not worth my time or money. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. I can make the entire menu at home...and much better! I got the Rueben sandwich on my first visit. The bottom bread was soggy/soaked with sauerkraut juice and there wasn't enough cheese in my opinion. On the 2nd visit, I got the Archer sandwich. It's a basic turkey sandwich, nothing special. My last visit, I ordered a brisket sandwich (one of the specials for that day). Wow! 3/4th inch slices of brisket..with some slices being 75% fat. It was supposed to have coleslaw on it, but it looked more like a mixture of bad lettuce and largely sliced onions. It was super weird! I think the fries are homemade, but they're not that good and lacking flavor. My biggest problem with this place is the high prices for the average food (i.e. $5 to add chicken to a salad???). If the food was better, then I'd feel better about the cost. Other than the food, the store is really cute and there are some unique finds in there.

Came in for the first time eager to buy some of the meats when the older white woman kindly greeted the white couple who entered before us. But when we walked up she didn’t greet us nor did she ask if we needed help. She just looked at us with an unpleasant facial expression so we decided to leave. It absolutely sickens me to see the consistent prejudices and racism in Greenville within some of the whites. Will never visit this place again.
