About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Hot spot
Reservations are open for dinner only, lunch is walk ins only.

What’s in the name you ask? We don’t really know, other than the fact that it has a good ring to it.

Nothing really about this place makes much sense. Are we a butcher shop or a restaurant? Are we a butcher shop inside of a restaurant? Or a restaurant inside of a butcher shop?

In our spare time we like to build fires and cook food over wood, you can hire us to do that. We make all of our own charcuterie in house, and we’re determined to get better at that everyday.

How do two concepts operate together in harmony? We don’t really know yet, but we will work at it ‘til it’s seamless. One thing we do know, all of the meat served and sold between these four walls is strictly derived from whole animals butchered in-house, sourced from happy places.

    We went to Fat Rabbit for our anniversary and had such a great night. The pork chop, sirloin, and white asparagus were all amazing—so flavourful and cooked perfectly. The vibe was super chill but still felt special, and the staff were awesome. Can’t wait to go back!

    The porterhouse steak is a must get, most tenderest steak I ever had!

    Great first time here and a very nice experience. The 3 meat sampler plate was amazing, as was the pasta, and veggie dishes. The steak choice we made was for the porterhouse and the only critique would be that as we got closer to the bone it went from medium rare to blue rare. Luckily we all enjoy rare meats but it lost its flavour as it got closer to the bone. We will have to come back another time to try a different cut of meat that doesn’t have such a large bone to see the difference. Meat was not overly seasoned, so you really got to taste the meat instead of seasonings ( which could be challenging for someone who is not a meat lover). All in all a great meal, great service, as a first time attendee the servers were patient and friendly explained everything so we knew exactly how the restaurant worked. Thank you for a great Easter meal!

    First time here and it was fantastic!! Our server, Mark, was one of the best we've ever had. Food was 10/10. Cocktails were 10/10. Absolutely nothing negative to say. Such an amazing experience. Will definitely be back.

    Small plates for sharing, family style platters, option to choose your own protein - great cocktails and wine list. Servers were en-pointe and very knowledgeable - this is crucial to the overall dining experience. We let our server Brianna select our wine - total winner! All dishes were expertly crafted using unique flavour combinations and presentations. Casual, unpretentious atmosphere with exquisite food!
