Millwood Edition: Butcher Block

By Candace Nelson - 10:25 PM

Butcher Block in Millwood, West Virginia, is a family-owned restaurant known for its broad menu and wood-fired flavors. Located on Point Pleasant Road, it offers everything from sandwiches and salads to pasta, pizzas, and hearty entrées, with all steaks hand-carved in house and grilled over wood for extra depth. My friend Beth & I shared the loaded potato skins - fried baked potatoes topped with shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, chives and side of sour cream. The melted cheddar, smoky bacon, and fresh chives made each piece rich and savory, while the cool sour cream added the perfect creamy contrast. I ordered the Butcher Block Burger - 8 oz fresh ground beef, caramelized onions, our beer cheese and bacon. Cooked "a little pink" with sweet potato fries. This burger comes off the grill like a little celebration of everything a pub-style burger should be. The “little pink” center keeps the 8-ounce patty juicy, and the combination of caramelized onions, smoky bacon, and their rich beer cheese turns each bite into a full-on flavor stack - sweet, salty, and creamy all at once. Paired with sweet potato fries that bring just a hint of caramel sweetness, it’s expertly balanced. To finish it off: Pistachio Praline Nest w/ Ice Cream. It is a fun, elegant dessert that hits both crunch and cream. The nest itself brings a toasted pistachio flavor and a caramelized praline snap, giving you that sweet–nutty contrast in every forkful. When the ice cream melts into the warm praline base, it creates a silky, buttery pool that ties the whole dish together. Grade: A
