About Us

Of course, you’ve had a good steak before. It was well done. Most things probably were. But was the experience rare? At Butcher Boys, it’s not about good… it’s about great. (With a special emphasis on great steaks). Everything we do says; come in, pull up a chair, never eat anywhere else again.

For example:

Compliments. Yes, you look great tonight. But we’re talking about the pairings of service and experience. Fine wine and exceptional food. Friends and family. Celebrations and memories.
Fire. Sure, some restaurants have sizzle. But that doesn’t light up anything really, let alone appetites, events and favourite dining experiences. We love what we do and we’re passionate about our offering. That’s a meal maker.
Time. Perfection takes time – everyone knows that, but they don’t really know quite how much. A memorable dining experience for example comes under the care and guidance of a restaurant team with years in the business (that’s us). A great steak comes down to the care of an exceptional kitchen and seconds on the grill. We get these things just right, and they are reasons enough to spend some time with us.

All this to say, for the Butcher Boys, we judge our success by your returns, not ours.

A Bit More About ‘the Boys’

In 1999, two well aged grain-fed ‘Boys,’ Derryck Myers and Alan Lazarus, had a dream. To bring Great Steaks to good people. They succeeded and now 25 unforgettable years later, these 2 same ‘Boys’ admittedly a little more ‘well aged’ by now, are still serving up that same, now famous, great dining experience they established all those years ago.

But our story has gotten so much bigger and better over the intervening years as well, because today more ‘boys’ have joined the fold, extending our footprint up the North Coast into Ballito, under the care of Jason Powell and all the way up into Gauteng too – Jorge Ferreira and Gigi Nobrega, have nurtured our Meyersdal location into landmark status, while our new iconic restaurant in Kyalami Hills has set a new aspirational flagship standard for the brand. Each new restaurant is bespoke, injecting its own unique flavour into the brand, and ensuring our longevity by helping to redefine this comfortable, quality Great steakhouse for everyone.

Thank you for celebrating all of life’s moments with us. We hope to continue making memories with you for many more years to
come.
