Highlands Butchery
Valdese, NC Full Time
POSTED ON 5/4/2026

Highlands Butchery is not a typical restaurant.
We are a farm-driven butchery, steakhouse, and whiskey bar built around quality, hospitality, and execution.

We’re looking for Front of House team members who want to be part of something that is growing, improving, and raising the standard.

What We’re Building

  • A true guest experience, not just order-taking
  • A team that understands food, beverage, and sales
  • A culture of accountability, support, and pride in execution

If you just want to “clock in and out,” this won’t be the right fit.
If you want to get better, earn more, and be part of a strong team, keep reading.
