First We FeastAugust 3, 2014
Part butcher shop, part bar, part beer store—all man cave. The meat-centric fare from chef Preston Clark is top notch, and the brew selection is one of the most unique (if pricey) in the city. Read more

The beer list is quite intimidating (it as long as some wine lists) but the friendly bartender will help you out. The Car Bombs are a must and the pig’s head intrigues us. Next time.

A really great selection of beers; draft, cans, and bottles. I had an awesome Citizen Cider and amazing Goat Cheese Omelette. Sit on the patio of the weather cooperates!!

Craft brew to drink,beef jerky starter,Peking duck pate/bone marrow second course,lamb feta sausage/Thai sausage third course, cannibal dogs fourth course, Japanese eggplant to cover the veg. WINNING!

The pig head...unreal. Actually better value than the small items. Lamb tartare amazing! So so good and a unique experience. Beer selection is huge and waiters know their stuff.

The house tube steaks arrive as a pair and are served “tiger style”: the all-beef franks are topped with spicy tripe chili, a scattering of scallions and plenty of Chinese mustard on a squishy bun Read more

The big dishes are for sharing so if you're on your own I'd go for the morcilla sausage and the shaved Brussels sprouts. If you have room do the Radler ice cream, marmalade and life cereal dessert!

Honestly too expensive. Pigs in a blanket $11 with 5 pieces.... “Not Sorry” drink is the best. The decor is beautiful. You need reservations for big parties.

450 beers to pair with what The Cannibal does really well: meat. Grab a spot at the butcher counter or head outside in the back when the weather is nice. Pay with Cover and skip waiting for the check!

Satisfy your cravings for red meat and fancy beer at this casual Gramercy bar and restaurant. The menu includes steaks, tandoori lamb belly, & slow-roasted pig head. Read more

Del Posto pastry chef Brooks Headley launched his veggie burger pop-up, Superiority Burger, to raves and long lines earlier this summer. The next pop-up takes place at the Cannibal on August 10. Read more

Go with 4-6 friends and order the General Tso's Pig's Head ($80) Wrap succulent morsels of chili flecked porkface in rice pancakes with spicy greens and drink some beer.

I go there to have my beers curated by the most knowledgable staff. And the grilled cheese with pork belly and bacon is like crack I got a few of my friends hooked on it.
Lou CarulliDecember 8, 2014
Had the cheese platter and salumi platter to start and the crown jewel of course was the roasted pig head. I opted for the special that day which was a churizo rub roasted pig head. AMAZING

The bone marrow is amazing. Didn’t get to try the recommendation of doing a whiskey shot with the carved bone but will try next time. Cocktails are solid but not overly interesting.
Kevin ThompsonOctober 30, 2014
The Cannibal makes their sausages on-premises. Definitely try the thai sausage and smoked kielbasa. The lamb tartare and bone marrow might be the best I've ever had. Lamb belly is A+.
Jane KatzNovember 19, 2015
lamb tartare is divine, and bone marrow is classic. Beets with ricotta are tasty but roasted sunchokes are v v ordinary. if you're a beer amateur like me ask for recos-super knowledgable staff

Grab a seat at the bar and test the bartenders' encyclopedic knowledge of beer. Don't hesitate to pick a beer yourself out of the fridges at the front if you're feeling adventurous / impatient.
Brandon RinckJune 14, 2016
The Cuban sand which and hot dogs are amazing. If you want something spicy the pork sand which is great. Start with the ham plate and sit on their covered patio.
Meg FarmerAugust 18, 2015
Do it for the bone marrow. Also great chicken liver pate. Super cool, laid back spot. Outdoor garden is great in summer. One of the few spots you can get a full pig roast.

The menu from Momofuku alum Francis Derby includes steaks, tandoori lamb belly, slow-roasted pig head, and all manner of sausages and charcuterie items. [Eater 38 Member]

Cannibal is part butcher shop, part bar, part beer store—plus, it has a lovely backyard with bike racks mounted on the wall and picnic tables fit for warm-weather bacchanals. Read more
Lisa LJuly 26, 2014
Amazing beer selection, make sure you sit outside on the patio. The ham plate consisted of 3 different hams and yummy biscuits. I'll be back for sure. Great service too!

This place has everything. Come here for some pork belly grilled cheese, maybe some stumptown coffee and beer. They've got cured meats, tartares of all types & cheese dishes. You can't go wrong here!
Adrienne SmithAugust 29, 2015
Fantastic, fantastic restaurant. I'm still thinking about tandoori lamb belly served with watermelon, jalapeños and mint. An explosion of fatty, juicy, fresh, spicy flavors.
Paul M. CapobiancoMay 8, 2013
I found some beef tendon stuck to my iPhone case after I left. And I ate it. Remember to take those marrow bones with you for soups and stocks and stuff. This place is so, so good
Jonathan HuebschDecember 11, 2012
The radishes with pork butter (yes, pork butter) are divine. And the Marrow is delish. Don't forget to wash it all down with a beer (ask for suggestions) and a Liddabit caramel.
Andy RosenbergMarch 20, 2014
Amazing takes on some classic and non-classics. Try the Reuben with pig's head and pay with Cover so you can skip waiting for the check.
Kirill FuchsOctober 13, 2016
What's good here? The beer, the jerky, the charcuterie, the sausages, and probably everything else I haven't tried yet.
Ryan PaveyNovember 14, 2018
Really cool place and great food. I went during lunch and could hear other diners talking about how great everything tasted
Eug KOctober 22, 2017
A little pricy but overall great food service and beer selection. Emphasis on the beer selection, as well as the food. Amazing. Jerky is pretty swell too
hui jiaJanuary 25, 2016
Love the atmosphere, and the pig head is awesome! So do the beef tartar and bone marrow! If you are a meet lover, this is definitely the place to go:)
Tatiana GaborOctober 7, 2015
YES to the name, to the well curated meat and drink menu, the 90s hip hop soundtrack, the patio, and the bartender. Definitely coming back for the pig head
Caitlin DickerboomMarch 18, 2015
The bone marrow is fantastic! As well as the sour beer they have on tap from Germany. Will be back soon
AskMenAugust 19, 2011
The new spot features a butcher and sammy shop with charcuterie (American hams, house-made boudin noir, etc.), 350+ beers and sandwiches filled with things like mutton and pig's head. Read more
Arjumand BonhommeOctober 17, 2015
Chili dogs were good, root beer & cornbread sausage also great. Lamb sausage w/ fennel was OK. Lamb tartar and bone marrow were an experiment and just weren't my jam.

Outrageous craft beer selection - on tap or bottle. The Cuban sandwich is ridiculous good - ask for the all natural pepper sauce.
Marjorie DSeptember 5, 2014
This place is great, neat little bar that looks small at first but has tons of space, even an outside seating area. Try the hot dogs.
The Wall Street JournalApril 4, 2012
Can't miss dishes include the fresh boudin blanc or kielbasa, served simply with mustard. Or have a plate of the wonderfully smoky Edwards ham and an Aecht Schlenkerla Urbock. Read more
Michael GalpertMarch 15, 2012
Great place to drink beers you've never heard of, while nibbling on salty meats & creamy cheeses. Their grilled cheese is 100 % delicious stuffed w crispy pork belly & bacon, plus gruyere & cheddar.
Ashley RoseMay 30, 2015
Group Dining- $55- This is a two-hour event that includes a chef selection of Charcuterie & Small Plates, and a selection of unlimited draft beer, and wines by the glass.
Dan DarouvarSeptember 5, 2016
Hoping this place gets better over time. Really enjoyed my experience and the food in NY, but the food started out great and ultimately fell short this time around.
Olivia SzetoOctober 23, 2014
the country ham cutting board is where it's at... 3 types of cold cuts accompanied w/ a biscuit & honey!
JamieMay 12, 2015
Food and service was excellent. Brussel sprouts, broccoli rabe, lamb tartare, Thai sausage, bone marrow were all great.

Really amazing meat and beer in Murray Hill. The blood sausage is ridiculous. Homemade jerky is darn amazing too.
Ryan EickMarch 7, 2017
The General Tso's pig head was delicious, but you're gonna want to get a couple friends to help you; it's a three-person meal at least
Stan BashmashnikovApril 13, 2012
Start with the pork belly snacks. Order a nice, rich stout. Finish off with the bone marrow (it's worth trying if you never have).
Ji&V GuptaFebruary 27, 2016
Get the bone marrow and beef jerky! They also have gluten-free beers
Karina RuzinovOctober 17, 2018
All of the food is perfect but it was made even more incredible with how great the service was.
Dona HJuly 8, 2015
Loved the rustic atmosphere and the selection of beers! Celebrator is a must! The food was exquisite too.
