Southwest Las Vegas – A popular steakhouse known among locals for its prime cuts and bold flavors is stepping into brunch territory. Butcher & Thief plans to unveil a new daytime menu on Mother’s Day, May 10, giving diners a fresh reason to celebrate. Following the debut, the service will continue every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., filling a gap in the neighborhood’s weekend dining scene.
Building on a Steakhouse Legacy
Located at 8670 W Sunset Rd., Butcher & Thief has long drawn crowds for lunch, dinner, and happy hour. The addition of brunch represents a logical evolution, blending familiar comforts with the restaurant’s signature elevated style. Regular patrons will recognize the attention to quality ingredients and inventive twists that define the spot.
Chef and Founder Cory Harwell viewed the expansion as an opportunity to extend the restaurant’s appeal. He explained, “We wanted to take the classics people know and love and put our own spin on them, while still keeping the bold flavors and attention to detail that define Butcher & Thief.” This approach promises a brunch experience that feels both approachable and refined.
Menu Standouts: Eggs, Meats, and Indulgences
The brunch lineup emphasizes hearty egg dishes alongside lighter fare, catering to varied tastes. Diners can expect staples reimagined with premium components, such as soft scrambled eggs paired with steak and hashbrowns. Other savory options include a garden quiche featuring Cooper’s Sharp cheese and a Garbage Benedict loaded with Nueske’s bacon, house sausage, poached egg, hashbrowns, brioche, and smoked cheddar hollandaise.
Sweet treats balance the menu for those seeking dessert-like starts. Banana flapjacks, Apple Brown Betty, and Carrot Cake French Toast offer comforting indulgences with a creative edge. Popular lunch items carry over, too, ensuring flexibility for quicker meals.

These drinks pair seamlessly with the food, encouraging leisurely mornings. For families or groups, the variety ensures broad appeal without overwhelming choices.
The Story Behind the Neighborhood Steakhouse
Butcher & Thief emerged from Chef Cory Harwell’s vision for a modern neighborhood steakhouse. High-quality steaks anchor the menu, but the concept reinterprets traditions through fresh techniques. The name draws from the “wine thief,” a winemaking tool for tasting barrels, capturing the ethos of savoring shared meals and wines.
With brunch now in the mix, the restaurant reinforces its role as a versatile local hub. Diners stand to gain reliable weekend options in Southwest Las Vegas, while the team builds on established momentum. This move signals confidence in sustaining growth amid evolving tastes.
