Rancher Butcher Chef, also known as RBC, brings a refined edge to Bend’s Northwest Crossing neighborhood with a menu that’s rooted in sustainability and a deep respect for the land. This modern steakhouse brings a serious dedication to quality, hospitality, and sustainability, all while serving some of the most memorable meals in town.
Commitment To Quality, From Ranch To Restaurant
At RBC, the foundation starts at 7-Mile Creek Ranch in Fort Klamath, where their cattle graze on nutrient-rich pastures in the Wood River Valley, known as some of the best grazing land in the West. The ranch is a member of the Country Natural Beef Cooperative and holds a Global Animal Partnership (GAP-4) certification for animal welfare. This level of care translates directly onto the plate at RBC.
The dinner menu is both elevated and adventurous, with a focus on bold, balanced flavors. Guests can start with small plates like hush puppies with jalapeño honey butter, warm Castelvetrano olives with rose petal harissa, or a classic steak tartare served with grilled miche bread. The house charcuterie board and Oregon cheese board highlight regional flavors, while the chicken liver mousse and octopus cocktail deliver serious culinary flair.
For mains, diners can choose from an impressive lineup of steaks, from a 10oz hanger to a massive 40oz dry-aged cowboy ribeye. Other standout options include Snake River Farms bavette, Lan-Roc Farms pork chop, and Pāmu Farms elk chops. Each cut is carefully sourced and cooked with attention to texture and flavor. There’s a wide selection of sauces like horseradish cream, chimichurri, and béarnaise for pairing.
Sides here are far from afterthoughts. Expect bold twists like sweet potato gratin with rose petal harissa, spoon bread dotted with marionberries, and corn ribs dressed in Alabama white BBQ sauce.
Even the sautéed spinach has a surprising edge, sweetened with golden raisins and mugolio pine bud syrup.
A full bar and curated wine list round out the experience, with cocktails and wine pairings guided by an attentive and well-informed team. The service at Rancher Butcher Chef tends to leave an impression.
Servers are knowledgeable without being overbearing, and the attention to detail creates a polished yet welcoming vibe.
