e MLJuly 16, 2013Crab dip, salmon, ranchers steak along with long beans and spinach as sides - 7/10. Ambiance and customer service 9/10. Overall pretty good. Idk if id wait all that long if it was packed though.
Josh TaroliJune 25, 2015The butcher's steak is a good choice if you don't wanna shoot the budget up. Fingerling potatoes are a nice side dish, since the steak comes just by itself.
Butcher’s steak is absolutely amazing. Also the whole brined chicken! Lots more
Carrie LawsonJune 10, 2016The hanger steak is lick your lips amazing. All the sides are incredible and well executed. The desserts are good as well.
Kjetil HolmefjordJanuary 18, 2012One of my top 3 favourite restaurants in New York. Try any entree with mashed potatoes and the spinach - you can't go wrong!
Even when this place is jammed packed on Friday or Saturday, they sometimes can squeeze one or two people in at the bar or chefs' counter. It's worth poking your head in if you are in the area.
O LFebruary 6, 2022Yeah it’s great. Some of the best beef I’ve ever had. Nice low key vibe. Solid sides and wine choices too
JM ParveauxSeptember 7, 2016Come early and get ready for a long wait (2h on a regular week day) but totally worthwhile if you're not starving when putting down your name
Zach GuizarMay 23, 2015Phenomenal "hanger" steak. Mashed potatoes amazing. I will be talking about this place for forever. 2006 Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir compliments well.- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Come early or risk a long wait, though you can get a drink from the owners' bar, Spuyten Duyvil, next door. St. Anselm is also open for brunch on weekends. Read more
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the flame-kissed grilled sardines, prepared with a slick of citrusy ponzu sauce, a quick char over smoky fire & a bit of olive oil & Maldon salt. They’re one of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011. Read more
Giray AtalayNovember 21, 2015It the hot spot when you are seated by the heat lamp. Great Bibb salad and mashed potatoes. Not so hot meats. Hot enough for hip Williamsburgers I guess.
Lauren SerotaAugust 2, 2013Grilled avocado salad and spinach au gratin killed it. NY strip and chicken also killer. Stay away from the rose on tap - go for the bottle pour!
Michael AnthonySeptember 24, 2020Great steak for a great price. All the sides and apps were incredible too.
Susanna WeinholtOctober 21, 2013The ribeye.. Never had such good steak in my life. If you want to do anything in new York- in terms of food. Go here. Bloody amazing.
Heather PopilOctober 19, 2014The butchers steak and the veal are my top choices. Bacon and fried mashed potatoes were killer
- Russell DavisJune 9, 2017I was blown away by the taste of the food! Super good. Reasonable prices. Get there early or you will have a wait!
Jeff SolomonJuly 9, 2017The lamb saddle is great to share. Also liked the seasonal squash with ricotta cheese and sesame seeds- Conall AroraFebruary 17, 2017A true williamsburg experience, no need to go to Luger's, this is my favorite steak in New York City area
Courtney DeshJanuary 11, 2019The ambiance, BUTCHER STEAK highly recommend, and bacon are all awesome
Nadira IlanaJuly 8, 2013Panko crusted blue cheese ice cream with a balsamic vinaigrette syrup and candied 'bacon'. 100% pure epicurean guilt.
David ZhangSeptember 21, 2014That butchers steak is the real deal. $18 and it's so well prepared. Worth the wait, grab a drink at kristophe's while you do it.
Adam KopecOctober 1, 2013Get the pork chop or the butchers steak, with pan fried mash potatoes. I mean, look at this kid!
Barbara JiangMarch 20, 2018Unbelievable flavor the steak and lamb. Sides were pretty good too! Definitely a filling and delicious meal.
Meaghan KennyAugust 10, 2016The butcher's steak is absolutely delicious and a great value. Get there early or expect to wait for a table
Lucas UllrichJanuary 4, 2015The food is amazing and definitely worth the wait. Shame that they don't have bacon ice cream anymore! That stuff was delicious!
Rafi SyedApril 6, 2012Butcher's steak is great, but veal flank steak, eye of round special are two better options. Mashed potatoes are divine but rich. Caprese salad instead of the haloumi, which can be too lemony.
E CabreraFebruary 22, 2013Get the young grilled chicken! Might be the best grilled chicken you'll ever have. Butchers steak for $15 is small, but so is the price.
Serra CSeptember 1, 2019Everything was good what we eat. you should try diver scallops, octopus, Butcher steaks, mashed potatoes and long beans.
Maggie WalshMarch 10, 2013Pork chop is amazing and there's no denying how good the garlic butter butcher's steak is! Enjoy!
Kt LacasseMay 31, 2015Order orange wine if you have yet to try it. Sweet tea brined chicken is perfect. Plus, you get the whole bird!
DanMay 14, 2018Butcher steak and axe handle ribeye are fantastic. Sides were only ok. Well curated and priced wine list.
One of the best restaurants in Brooklyn. Everything is grilled. I love the whole chicken!
Order the clams, butcher's steak, and spinach gratin. Salads are all awesome too. Sit at the bar by the kitchen and watch the magic happen.
SO DAMN GOOD. get the butchers steak and veal and spinach gratin and mashed potatoes. LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH.
Best steak around. Sit at the bar to watch your steak being cooked - but you're still going to wait.
Irene ChungJuly 2, 2013Excellent steak and sides. Loved the tomato burrata salad. Simple but delightful.
Zack PackerAugust 13, 2014Best piece of meat I've ever eaten - and it was a lamb shank! Sit at the chef's table for the best experience.
Regina O'SullivanDecember 14, 2013Delicious! Cosy place with a menu for all. Service was great. French sparkling wine was a delight. (Beer & wine only)
Kev SkinnyAugust 14, 2014Appetizer: octo and the 3 different eggplant. Main: best butcher steak on planet earth. No need to spend more.
Gregory DominguezDecember 30, 2012Butcher Steak (Hanger Steak) is one of the best cuts of meat i've had in my life and the Pan Fried Mashed Potatoes is amazing... ;)
Everything is good. But ALWAYS order the mashed potatoes!!
Saarim ZamanMarch 19, 2016Butchers steak for $19 is a straight steal. Pair it with truffled fried mashed potatoes and you'll be feeling (^-^)
Kiah JonesMarch 21, 2013Everything was delicious. Do go with a group and an appetite. The pan fried mashed potatoes with truffles are a must have!
Harrison WeberAugust 14, 2014Steak + spinach + cauliflower + potatoes = amazing. I don't even like creamed spinach. I love it here.
Katie LennsMarch 20, 2012Butcher's Cut steak might be the best steak I've ever had. Chocolate Caramel pot de creme is delicious and not too much food for dessert!
