Butterjoint is a comfy bar and restaurant located in North Oakland. Our welcoming and eclectic atmosphere is appropriate for almost any occasion - whether it be meeting a friend for a drink, celebrating an important event, or relaxing after work. Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region. In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

    This was Our first dining experience and we were celebrating our son’s 29th birthday… What an awesome experience from beginning to end. Upon arrival, we were great immediately at the front desk and set promptly. Our server was very friendly and welcoming. He explained the menu and all the features and even gave us his opinion on his favorites. Being it was our first time it was very helpful. All our dinners were delicious. We each had a steak, the filet, the strip steak and aged ribeye. The small plates were just the right size and we enjoy the Arancini‘s and the empanadas. Delicious! Our steaks were prepared according to our liking and was accompanied with mashed potatoes and the green bean salad. The best green beans. They were charred and had a very light dressing to enhance the flavor. We shared the gingerbread cake for dessert and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be going back.

    The two of us shared a salad and a pepperoni pizza. That was plenty of food for us. Instead of a few big slices of pepperoni on the pizza it had many, many small diameter pepperonis on the pizza. It was really good, if a little salty.

    The food was the best I’d ever had in my whole life. I had the roasted chicken and my husband had the gnocchi. Both were incredible. We also had the truffle frites, they were so so good I will dream about them for the rest of my life. The servers was all very kind and anticipated our every need. 100/10
