markFebruary 27, 2018The biscuits that come free on the table will be your surprise treat of the night. Veal chop, crispy potato “fries” and the green beans were all stellar. One of the most consistent meals you’ll find
C MFebruary 20, 2017While this place is primarily known for its steaks you should give the desserts a try. Their cheesecake is tasty, but their take on the Baked Alaska is incredible.- Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014Dressing up for dinner is never more fun than at this sexy homage to a 1940s supper club. Here, the martinis are chilled, the booths are plush and private, and the porterhouse for two inspires raves. Read more
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 14, 2017Order a Manhattan, don't overlook the specials and salads, then get the porterhouse and stuffed hash browns, followed by the baked Alaska. Perfect dinner.
A7MAD .August 27, 2016The steak filet mignon was so delicious and tasty, one of my best steak I have ever eaten.King Salmon was nice. Dessert, the signature " Bake Alaska" was fantastic.
From the delicious drink to the tasty bread, everything was amazingly good. I had the filet mignon bone in steak with the brussel sprouts. Absolutely scrumptious.
Brandon CainFebruary 21, 2015Hands down the best place for a special occasion/romantic dinner in the area. To die for steaks that are cooked perfectly and amazing sides. Try the hash brown!! End with the Baked Alaskan
Stephen WolperAugust 22, 2015This is the very best steakhouse, if not the very best all around restaurant, in thee city of Philadelphia. Food and service are 5 stars. Nothing less than 5 stars about every dining experience here.
STARR RestaurantsJune 17, 2011Butcher and Singer is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill steakhouse. Enjoy perfectly charred steaks and chops, cold water lobster and shrimp and crab Louie. Pair your meal with a perfect Manhattan.
Elyse EstradaOctober 6, 2013The manhattan is pretty spectacular as is the escargot. I could dip bread in that sauce all day long. The hash brown is everything you've read about already so just get it already. Brian is fantastic!
Heather RoseFebruary 5, 2020Started with an old fashioned with makers 46, then a filet, medium with a side of mashed potatoes and a glass of Syrah/ Cabernet Sauvignon, and finished with crème brûlée. Absolutely phenomenal meal!
Larisa GrollemondJanuary 2, 2016One of the best traditional steakhouses in Philly. No surprises on the menu, just high quality dishes prepared expertly every time. Don't forget the baked Alaska for dessert!
Paola ViscogliosiOctober 9, 2021We had the tuna tartare , beef tartare, Caesar salad, salmon and filet mignonette and it was all perfect! The temperature, flavor and service beyond reproach!! A+
Annie AlfstadMarch 7, 2017We drove from nj just for dinner here... everything is primo from waitstaff to steak and I'm from NYC. I can tell you it's worth every penny!- Fodor's TravelAugust 29, 2018A pair of showstopper chandeliers, a New Yorker–style mural depicting tony pooches clad in pencil skirts and smoking robes, closely to the restaurant's avowed 1940s supper club aesthetic.

If you have Eddie, Cory, Claire, or Donovan as your server you're in for an extra treat on top of what would have already been a great meal.
Lance LacoffJune 20, 2015Great dinners but lunch is not to be overlooked with the Butcher Burger being one of the best in Philly. Tasty frites, too.
Sanaz LimoueeAugust 24, 2014If you want a classic steakhouse menu, cool atmosphere and delicious food it's a great spot. Order the hash browns, they are a must!!
Brian StraussAugust 7, 2017Best steak I've had in a long time. Porterhouse was huge. Share a steak and spurge on multiple sides.
Michael BrownSeptember 12, 2016OMG! THe food here is incredible. So rich I could only eat here once a month.

Kosal SokOctober 12, 2014Delmonico was delicious. Classic, pan-fried hash browns a must. As were the green beans.
Hector BaraonaJune 29, 2020Can't wait to see you fully functional again. What a culanary experience, best in town. Miss you!
Mike RitziusFebruary 15, 2013The hash brown is ridiculous and delicious. Have the left overs for breakfast, heated in a skillet and topped with a fried egg.
- Philadelphia MagazineDecember 22, 2010What to get: The dry-aged Gachot & Gachot porterhouse for two (even if you’re just one). The decadent stuffed hashed brown. The creamed spinach. A personal trainer. Read more
Darnay WashingtonMay 8, 2012The Shrimp & Crab Louie is delicious! The Stuffed Hash Browns are to die for & the Surf & Turf was superb❤❤❤
Bullfrog & BaumSeptember 13, 2011Butcher & Singer is a cut above. Be prepared for a decadent meal, and try the filet mignon, dry-aged porterhouse, and stuffed hash brown.
Ibrahim SulaimanAugust 27, 2016I ordered Filet mignon and the quality of the meat was incredible 👍🏻 I also ordered king salamon it was good but not very special.
Jessica RolandApril 4, 2019Have not been here but it is one of the highest rated steakhouses in the city. Watch the price!
- Philadelphia MagazineOctober 25, 2010Get a burger. Ground sirloin, broiled to char-kissed perfection, atop Parc’s house-made brioche bun, topped with melted English cheddar and sweet sautéed onions, for just $9.95. Read more
Rachel HoffmanJanuary 11, 2014Amazing place, stellar service & the potato hash browns are to die for!- Philadelphia MagazineFebruary 28, 2011Try the Stuffed hashed brown. Why bake a potato and top it with sour cream when you can shred and fry it with the sour cream already tucked inside? Read more
- Eleni TavantzisMarch 13, 2011Stuffed hash brown, baked Alaska, and great cocktails. Forget the name but gin, rosemary, pimms, etc is awesome.
Jen RobinsonDecember 30, 2011Have the Butcher Manhattan. Spicy sweet and great before, with, and after a burger.
