Butcher Steak is the move there. They’re busy at brunch but you can slide in toward the end no problem. Just be ready to order before kitchen closes.

Crab 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.

The 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.

The hanger steak is lick your lips amazing. All the sides are incredible and well executed. The desserts are good as well.

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.

Yeah 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, 2016
Come 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, 2015
Phenomenal "hanger" steak. Mashed potatoes amazing. I will be talking about this place for forever. 2006 Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir compliments well.

Delicious! Make a reservation or go early to get a seat, it packs up right at 5pm

Come 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

Try 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

It 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, 2013
Grilled 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!
Susanna WeinholtOctober 21, 2013
The 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, 2014
The butchers steak and the veal are my top choices. Bacon and fried mashed potatoes were killer
Michael AnthonySeptember 24, 2020
Great steak for a great price. All the sides and apps were incredible too.
Jeff SolomonJuly 9, 2017
The lamb saddle is great to share. Also liked the seasonal squash with ricotta cheese and sesame seeds
Russell DavisJune 9, 2017
I was blown away by the taste of the food! Super good. Reasonable prices. Get there early or you will have a wait!

A true williamsburg experience, no need to go to Luger's, this is my favorite steak in New York City area
Courtney DeshJanuary 11, 2019
The ambiance, BUTCHER STEAK highly recommend, and bacon are all awesome
Jarryd CommerfordJanuary 7, 2019
The best steak in New York. Makes Peter Luger’s look like a joke.
Nadira IlanaJuly 8, 2013
Panko crusted blue cheese ice cream with a balsamic vinaigrette syrup and candied 'bacon'. 100% pure epicurean guilt.
David ZhangSeptember 21, 2014
That 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, 2013
Get the pork chop or the butchers steak, with pan fried mash potatoes. I mean, look at this kid!
Serra CSeptember 1, 2019
Everything was good what we eat. you should try diver scallops, octopus, Butcher steaks, mashed potatoes and long beans.
Barbara JiangMarch 20, 2018
Unbelievable flavor the steak and lamb. Sides were pretty good too! Definitely a filling and delicious meal.
Meaghan KennyAugust 10, 2016
The butcher's steak is absolutely delicious and a great value. Get there early or expect to wait for a table
Lucas UllrichJanuary 4, 2015
The food is amazing and definitely worth the wait. Shame that they don't have bacon ice cream anymore! That stuff was delicious!
DanMay 14, 2018
Butcher steak and axe handle ribeye are fantastic. Sides were only ok. Well curated and priced wine list.
E CabreraFebruary 22, 2013
Get 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.
Rafi SyedApril 6, 2012
Butcher'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.
Maggie WalshMarch 10, 2013
Pork chop is amazing and there's no denying how good the garlic butter butcher's steak is! Enjoy!

One of the best restaurants in Brooklyn. Everything is grilled. I love the whole chicken!
Kt LacasseMay 31, 2015
Order orange wine if you have yet to try it. Sweet tea brined chicken is perfect. Plus, you get the whole bird!

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.
Gregory DominguezDecember 30, 2012
Butcher 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... ;)
Kev SkinnyAugust 14, 2014
Appetizer: octo and the 3 different eggplant. Main: best butcher steak on planet earth. No need to spend more.
Zack PackerAugust 13, 2014
Best piece of meat I've ever eaten - and it was a lamb shank! Sit at the chef's table for the best experience.

Best steak around. Sit at the bar to watch your steak being cooked - but you're still going to wait.
Irene ChungJuly 2, 2013
Excellent steak and sides. Loved the tomato burrata salad. Simple but delightful.
Regina O'SullivanDecember 14, 2013
Delicious! Cosy place with a menu for all. Service was great. French sparkling wine was a delight. (Beer & wine only)
Joe MNovember 18, 2018
Best steaks 🥩 in a small intimate atmosphere
Saarim ZamanMarch 19, 2016
Butchers steak for $19 is a straight steal. Pair it with truffled fried mashed potatoes and you'll be feeling (^-^)
JunkyardJoeAugust 16, 2014
The spinach dish is amazing and the Hangar steak is tasty. Nice service.
Jeremy PetersJune 25, 2013
Get the Butcher Steak, folks. It is worth the wait for a table. Trust.
Kiah JonesMarch 21, 2013
Everything was delicious. Do go with a group and an appetite. The pan fried mashed potatoes with truffles are a must have!

Sit by the bar and enjoy watching your steak grilled 🥩
Katie LennsMarch 20, 2012
Butcher'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!
