This is a BIG NO!
I will preface this by saying that this is Mt. Orab, meaning, there aren't a whole lot of choices (especially at night) so in that scenario, it is probably 'ok'. Â However, being someone who has had extensive experience with similar restaurants in downtown Cincinnati, I know that if it were not located in Mt. Orab, the doors would have closed a LONG time ago.
The outside looks really nice and there is an outdoor sitting area as well. Â They were open until midnight on Saturdays which is why my friend and I went there around 10pm.
The place was dead, maybe one other table being served and a couple of people at the bar. Â
The server was 'ok'. Â Kind of awkward and said some strange things but she was attentive.
The table was sticky and the overall atmosphere was dull, old, and worn out. Â The inside did not match the glowing clean exterior.
We ordered 3 appetizers and I got my friend a couple of margarita's (celebration) and I had water. Â The total was around $50. Â I already planned to spend money for our celebration but the food was so gross, it really wasn't worth a dollar. Â My friend was satisfied with what she ordered though.
The cheese sticks tasted like fish (same oil) and the marinara sauce was runny and didn't have a good flavor. Â The chicken quesadilla that I ordered was served on an odd bright orange tortilla and the flavors were all lacking. Â
I would not recommend this place to anyone.
I see a lot of good reviews for this place which leads me to believe that those are locals who haven't entered the big scary world and only eat locally with nothing else to compare it to. Â No offense in saying this - I also was once from a small town and didn't get out or know any better. Â But, I definitely know better now.
Really shocked this place is still open.  Oh yeah, they don't believe in napkins either....... that says a lot when a restaurant lays your silverware directly on the table and are confused if you ask for napkins in a nervous laughter  'you plan to make a mess?' kind of way.....  NO!
People keep comparing this to applebees. Yeah I guess I could see that, except that every applebees I've ever been to sucked, earning the name "crapplebees" for me.
Butterbees was a nice find in a tiny town. I tried the grilled tilapia sandwich, it was well cooked, and tasted good too.
They have a "house brew" that I tried, it was solid, but not great. Not really sure who it was brewed by but didn't seem like the microbrewery kind of place.
Bethany, our server, was friendly and had good timing. The food came out quick as we got there right as they were opening for lunch.
Overall pleased, not sure that I'll be back in Mt. Orab any time soon, but would definitely stop here again.
I got two words for you: Chicken Tenders.
... Ok, maybe I've got more than two words.
This is your typical American sports bar, which means you're either going to be into it, or you're not. Do you like leather booths, happy servers and enough TVs to crush a small elephant (I guess if they were sitting on top of him?) Then this is your spot. If not, then it's not.
But if it is, get the chicken tenders.
Oh man are these things delicious. Lightly breaded and fried, plump chicken, everything I want from a tender. Plus, they have crazy amazing sauces, like southwest ranch or delicious sweet and spicy buffallo (that you can get the tenders spun in if you'd like.) Seriously, woah.
It is loud here in from all the TVs, and I was there during a fairly quiet lunch, so I can't even begin to imagine what it's like at night or when the big game is on. Again, either this is your thing ... or it's not.
But either way, try the tenders. Hot damn.
Best Chicken Tenders I've had in a long time. Â They were so juicy and big for the price. Â It makes a difference to always cook fresh chicken, never frozen, which is what they do. Â We taste the difference and appreciate it.
I also had the French Onion Soup, which was most delicious with that slab of awesome mozzarella cheese across the top. Â
I was surprised how packed they were for a weekday evening - tells you alot about a place. Â
Our waitress filled our drinks before half empty and came to the table just when we needed it. Excellent Job! Â (I have a pet peeve about servers coming so often you might as well ask them to join you because you can't carry on a conversation with your friend without all the interruptions...that's just me)
Butterbees is your typical sports bar, serving typical sports bar fare, with TV's playing all of the major games as well as Reds, Bearcats, Bengals, and local sports gear decorating the facility. Butterbees now has two locations, the original in Mount Orab, and the newer location right off of I-275 in Withamsville/Cherry Grove. Butterbees is a restaurant that Mt. Orab  definitely needed and is always jam packed, day or night.
For an appetizer, I recommend the fried pickles. It comes with 6 pickles, with a creamy ranch sauce. Enough for a table of 4 to share. For the main meal, I recommend the Touchdown Tenders and Fries. They have the best chicken tenders that I have ever had, and they are known for them. They are also HUGE. Be sure to get them spun in Fiery Buffalo, AMAZING. Also, get your waffle fries with cheese and bacon bits...amazing as well.
And don't forget about Monday's...DOLLAR TENDERS. Amazing deal and you can save some money.
I will be back I'm sure!
It's like Applebees food but with twice the butter.
Okay, maybe not butter, but there's something about this processed food which makes it hard to digest.
I ate dinner here reluctantly after not wanting fast food, and there being limited other choices in rural Brown County. I had a burger and soup. I ordered the potato, which came with a cheesy broth and was covered in shredded American cheese. My burger was a processed brown puck attempting to disguise itself under condiments and cheese.
Two hours later, I began experiencing indigestion. My stomach remained in pain the rest of the night, resulting in an evening of tossing and turning. Â If you do not regularly eat processed food / fast food, stay away from Butterbees!
