The Buttery at Locke Store

My husband and I went here today for brunch to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and enjoyed ourselves. We dined in since it was quite windy, but are looking forward to one day sitting outside on their terrace! The service was great - Tatiana helped us and was so friendly. We both got the avocado toast with home fries and my husband got a side of sausage patties. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful! We're excited to come back for dinner in the future :)

Shhhhh don't let anyone know this is here....
Awesome fine dining restaurant with divine set menu options. This is a smaller operation with personal service and great food. The tables are well separated and the Buttery itself is an awesome historical building. Highly recommended. Make sure you book.

Love this place! The staff was very nice and got us seated quickly. The mimosas are great and the Avocado Toast was both something new and delicious!

We had brunch here last July and it was so lovely. We had the gazpacho, pork bowl, and eggs benedict and everything was delicious! The atmosphere is so cozy. Really cool to have a restaurant like this in such a tiny, adorable town. Great service, too! We’ve been to their general store several times and my understanding is they share the same kitchen. I’m in love with both. Looking forward to returning for dinner (even though it’s a drive for us since we’re near D.C.)!

What a great experience! Enjoyed dinner here with another couple. Great atmosphere inside, excellent service and delicious food and drinks. The watermelon salad was especially good and the lamb red entree and brownie with mint ice cream were outstanding. Will definitely be back!

The Buttery at Locke Store is a new (to us) restaurant in rural Millwood. On arrival there is plentiful parking outside the restaurant and a warm welcome awaiting inside from the friendly staff. The food I would describe as ‘Modern American’ using primarily local products and suppliers. The chef presents dishes of simplicity and great flavor. We started with a delicious buttery squash soup and vegetable tempura. For mains we enjoyed the gnocchi of the day which was served with shorts ribs and local mushrooms. DW loved the flatbread of the day which was pulled pork. The desserts continued the excellence of the kitchen with a lemon curd pavlova and a flourless chocolate cake. All together a fantastic experience . We hope to return soon.

Went for brunch, and had a 5star experience: great service, fantastic food and nice atmosphere. There was plenty of space between tables, and it felt very covid-safe; staff all wore good masks. The eggs florentine was perfectly executed- even the english muffin was remarkable! Beautiful food and presentation. You should go here.

When we moved to Lake Frederick, we were so happy to find such a great restaurant so close to home! I am a vegetarian, and the menu had two great choices. I chose the Summer Puttanesca, which was by far the best meal I have ever had. I only wish I had taken a picture of it! My husband had the Szechuan Pepper Seared Albacore, which was also excellent.
We look forward to seeing what's on the October menu. The service was excellent too!

Wonderful time with 8 friends in a private room. They helped a few of us with nice vegetarian substitutes. Drinks were great and service excellent

Went here for brunch. The food and drinks were excellent. Cinnamon rolls are a must and the French toast and Benny were delicious. Definitely will come back maybe next time for dinner!

Amazing food and service. I was pleasantly surprised. We sat outside on the large rear patio, which is very private . This is a hidden gem and was packed when we were there for a Sunday brunch!

Proper review should be 4.5. Food was excellent drinks great. Appetizers were fantastic, entres were very tasty. But a mite scant. Deserts were delicious. Overall, very fine dining. Entre for some of us were great, but some were smaller, and some were a protein in sauce. Good tasting, but they needed something more to make them not an appetizer. We would definitely go back again.

What a perfectly delightful meal. The ambiance in front of the rustic fireplace set the tone for the subsequent 3 courses. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and each bite was bursting with flavor. The drinks were fabulous and so was the bread. I wish I had taken pictures of each dish but a greedily dug in. Will definitely return.

Absolutely delicious. Simple, quaint, and comfortable with all the focus on incredible food. We’ll be back.

This unique little place has a rotating/changing menu of wonderful dishes. Tonight I had a pork chop, and my wife had the sea bass. Both were cooked and seasoned perfectly. If the quality those two dishes are an indication of the other offerings, then we certainly will be back! The original building is a beautifully restored log cabin style house from the 1800s (I think). This provides a wonderful and warm atmosphere unique that would be hard to replicate in a more modern building. The service was outstanding! They have a limited amount of tables so be sure to call in a reservation. Highly recommend!

I hosted a bridal shower here for a friend and it was perfect. Shauna and the other events staff at The Buttery were so helpful and design-focused, even providing gorgeous custom menus for our event. The servers were incredibly attentive and the food was spectacular. Would highly suggest hosting a small gathering here! We’re from out of town, but I will go out of my way to come back to eat here!

Ambience can't be beat, friendly quality service, food was great but some in our party felt the entree was smaller than it should be...more of an appetizer size. Looking forward to visiting for their spring and fall menus. In all, a great evening!

real gem of a place! we were visiting the area for a long weekend and needed a place to eat for night 1, as we had reservations at l 'auberge Provencal for night 2. Not going to lie. Wish we had come back here for the second night. Every course we had was fantastic. Price was very reasonable for what we got, and it blew night 2 out of the water which was 3x the cost.

Magical Dining Experience! We celebrated my daughter's 30th Birthday in the patio area. The people at The Buttery could not have been more helpful. They worked with me for a set up to decorate which I so much appreciated. The food was out of this world and the service the best. My only reservation to not recommending this restaurant is that it will get so popular once people realize this hidden gem is in the most adorable town ever that I'll never get a reservation! We will be there many many more times. Thanks to everyone at the Buttery. Donna

Lovely atmosphere, great service and excellent dinner. There were a nice range of options available for each course (chorizo and polenta with harissa main course was delicious and summer pavlova was perfect). Fun cocktails and unexpected non alcoholic beverages.
