I love this place. I was here 2020 and after 3 years I can get the same atmosphere. If you are here you have to order calamari, oysters, lobster roll and bang bang shrimp. Stuff is friendly and thank you for service.

Don’t normally write reviews but I had such a spectacular dinner with friends at Butch’s. We were visiting Aspen for the weekend and this open-air seafood joint was the perfect send off meal for a Summer weekend night.

Love the lemon butter lobster roll, just enough butter and plenty of lobster. Love the casual outdoor atmosphere. Fried shrimp, lobster bisque, and fish n chips were delicious too

Being from Maine I have very high standards when it comes to seafood. Butch’s place was like going back home! It was the best lobster I’ve had in a long time. The staff and the overall atmosphere was fantastic, Jesse the bartender makes a great mojito! Highly recommend!

A cute New England vibe in the middle of the mountains. We were seated quickly. The good stops there. I had the Shannon’s Shrimp, which was a very odd dish. They said the shrimp would be lightly battered… there was so much egg batter caked on there, I thought that I was eating scrambled eggs! Very weird. It came with rice, which was very al dente, and a vegetable, which was corn. The corn was juicy, but they almost forgot to bring it. My husband had the fish and chips, and said the fish did not taste fresh. We both had stomach aches later that night, making for a bummer last night of vacation. Skip this one!

One star for ambience. Ridiculously small amount of lobster on my lobster roll, one leaf of lettuce with a little bag of potato chips. I glanced in the kitchen and was horrified. If I had paid $10 for the sandwich, fine,

I ate at Butch’s last night, and I can honestly say the experience was phenomenal (shoutout Molly for the wonderful service)! I had the clams casino, Tomasso Lobster Roll, and the frozen Marg – everything was delicious and with generous portions.

I don’t write reviews often, but man I feel like I got ripped off. $30 for a lobster roll and $25 for a seafood platter with 2 shrimp is not cool. Had to fight the receipt to even get to my food. It tasted fine for fried seafood but is 3x the cost it should be and they charge a service fee to use a card. Servers forgot my order and were struggling behind the bar. Had high hopes for my first visit, but was definitely disappointed.
