• Steakhouse • Butchertown
Booked 17 times today
Know the source, butcher by hand, and waste nothing. Mill Iron 4 brings whole-animal butchery back to Louisville. We dry-age & hand-cut everything in house, and know every rancher we work with personally.Named for pitmaster Dustin Olsen's family cattle brand circa 1947, Mill Iron 4 pairs sourcing obsession with a menu that spans both steakhouse and Carolina barbecue, reflecting Dustin's background as a pitmaster as much as a butcher. Chef Noam Bilitzer (MeeshMeesh/James Beard Finalist) leads the kitchen. Our menu is fully inclusive of dietary restrictions, including vegan options. Our bar features allocated & vintage bourbon pours alongside local beer, and a wine and champagne program curated by John Grisanti of Nouvelle Bar & Bottle.New tables release daily at 12pm, 42 days out, Thu–Mon. Walk-ins welcome at the bar and on our covered patio.Follow along: @mill_iron4
