Try one of the signature burgers here, such as the Frenchie: a 6 oz. beef patty with pork belly confit, arugula, tomato-onion compote, and melted morbier cheese.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014
When I’m at DBGB I let our sommelier recommend his favorite beer of the moment and pair it with one of our charcutier’s homemade sausages. For dessert, the spectacular baked Alaska is my go-to.

Go with a group and try as many different things as possible. Exquisite variety of beer and wine to accompany an exhilarating array of sausages and other bites. Artistically modern gastropub. Love it.

The front bar area is perfect for a big group celebration! The space is impressive and the decor is sleek. The food? So good! Try one of the sausages and go with the burger or salmon.

pots from kitchens of all of boulud's friends surround you as you eat. so does the friendliest staff. braised tuscan kale, beaujolaise, & frenchie are musts. the restaurant is beautiful inside & out.

Great price, excelent ambiance and amazing food. I know that the sausages are the best thing here, but I had the Icelandic Cod and really loved it! I strongly recommend it.

If doing the bottomless brunch ordering the French toast signifies the end of the drinks. Beware the French toast! Order more drinks first!! Food is great by the way.

When DBGB opened in June 2009 Daniel Boulud was intent on creating three signature and blow-out burgers. The Yankee is the classic American burger with a twist and is served with Essex Street Pickles. Read more

A fantastic menu (sausage, anyone?) with a selection of Shandys on the drink menu! I had an omelet & it was the creamiest, fluffiness egg experience I've ever had. Sitting outside is also quite nice.
Ira BDecember 16, 2014
Omg the burgers. Good bar, great food, nice spot. I would definitely recommend for a group dinner or double date. Easy to make a reservation also since the place has a good amount of seating.
Ben BearnotMarch 5, 2015
Still crazygood after all these years. Can't go wrong with the sausages or burgers. Bartender and sommelier were super helpful for picking the perfect beer, wine, or cocktail to pair with food.
Michelle CheungMay 25, 2013
DBGB is consistently good. You can almost always grab a spot in the bar area w/c has the same menu as the main room. Faves r the matzo ball soup, thai sausage, & piggie. Awesome beer selection, too!
Ashley RoseJanuary 1, 2015
Going out with a group? Try the whole hog dinner for 6-8, amazing service and so delicious. Do unlimited beer or magnums of wine to top off the night.

Vegetarians: the potato gnocchi is a MUST! The beet salad was a great appetizer as well (or a meal if you're not too hungry--it's a pretty big portion). Ladies: the DB spritzer was a delish drink!
Emilio VitoloDecember 31, 2014
Definitely get "The Piggie" it's a 7oz beef patty topped with housemade pulled pork, jalapeo mayonnaise & boston lettuce on a cheddar bun with mustard-vinegar slaw...this burger melts in your mouth
CarolineJanuary 21, 2016
I came here during the limited menu hour, but I was still impressed by the burgers we had and the amazing beer selection, including some rare sours!
AlyssaJune 11, 2016
Excellent calamari, burgers and sausage. Definitely try the Thai sausage with the basil fried rice and quail egg, amazing!!
Carlo MFebruary 28, 2013
Must get the saucissons! Try the Boudin Basque (blood & pig's head saussage) and Beaujolaise. Also get a liter stein of any of their 22 craft beers on tap.

Checkout the basic Yankee cheeseburger cooked to perfection. This picture should be enough to make you order this amazing burger and fries combo.

When DBGB opened in June 2009, Daniel Boulud was intent on creating three signature and blow-out burgers. The Piggie is the less-traditional of the burgers. Read more

Petite plateau for 2 people $46 incl tuna tartare, crab, shrimp, oysters, mussels, clams & razor clams. Skip chopped salad $15

Enjoy the theatrics of when a suckling pig roast gets sent to the table, and try to spot Anthony Bourdain's name in the main dining area.
New York PostJune 11, 2013
Must try: the French-inspired Meyer Lemon Pistachio Sundae ($9) with creamy pistachio ice cream playing off tart lemon sorbet, spongy petit madeleines and crunchy thyme-infused meringues. Read more

Daniel Boulud's gift to lower NY, Daniel food at East Village prices. What a gift. Theres a reason why its 4 deep at the bar. And you have one of the greatest french chefs in the world....
RichardJuly 23, 2014
Heaven is lined with goblets of peach cassis. The sweetest dreams fit in a glass bowl at DBGB. Frenchie and steak were delightful, but returning just for dessert is not even a question.
Danyel SmithAugust 21, 2014
tuna crudo is fine. shrimp cocktail is fine. but this is a meaty establishment. get the sausage. get "the Vermont." also: great cocktails. + not as crowded a place as u think.

Chef Boulud scores again! Order the boudin basque (blood sausage), iceberg and chive salad, head cheese, burgers, fries, and matzo ball soup. If you are there when the chocolate beer is in season, it

Fabulous all around. Swank but cozy decor, friendly and impeccable service. The plateau de fruits de mer is an awesome starter to share, and the burger was worth breaking my vegetarianism for!
Susan LohJanuary 10, 2014
Fantastic 3-course prixe fixe lunch option for $27. If they have the roasted beet appetizer, get it!
New York HabitatNovember 17, 2011
Named after CBGB, Daniel Boulud has created a great environment here. Come here for lunch and get the prix fixe for $27. We recommend the lamb merguez sausage or piggie burger.
Jason MesiarikJuly 11, 2012
If you get here before 7 the prix fixe is a great value.Le pied de cochon paired with asparagus and a can franc is outstanding!

Star chef Daniel Boulud's gastropub, serves three heaping burgers: The Piggy, with pulled pork and jalapeño mayo; The Yankee, with Essex St. pickles; and The Frenchie, topped with confit pork belly.
The Corcoran GroupMay 21, 2010
Excellent, rustic French fare. All the burgers are dynamite; however our favorite is “The Frenchie”. If you’re up before 11AM on a Sunday, try the brunch which is equally delicious.
İpek A.May 22, 2016
Homemade sausages, delicious cocktails, good selection of wine and good pasta.
Kt LacasseJanuary 18, 2016
Went for restaurant week lunch and it was awesome! The burger was smokey and delicious, and the dessert was delightful

Serious no-holds-barred gut-busting high-end burgers & sausages & delicious cocktails that pack a punch. I can never seem to resist ending with a decadent ice cream sundae. Leave your diet at home.

Great enclosed tables for large parties, the plateau de mer is a sight to behold.
Elie KardousNovember 29, 2011
Daniel Boulud French gastropub meets downtown chic: their bloody marys are a killer. Also delicious brunch, like their chevre-herbed omelette. Their Frenchie burger is amazing.

You can't go wrong with any of the meats. Also, the desserts are delightful, and the atmosphere is amazing. Definitely among my top 5 restaurants in NYC.

Great food, attentive staff, and cool deco!!! Everything you order is enjoyable.

You know hot dogs have gone gourmet for good when even Daniel Boulud has one on the menu. Made from ground beef shoulder, this fancy frank comes on a house-made bun with spicy mustard and fresh relish Read more
Carolina MirandaMay 20, 2012
This place is a festival of bros in untucked button-downs. So it's appropriate that the menu is all about sausage. And it's damn good -- especially the Vermont and the Korean.
J CrowleyDecember 19, 2015
The burger is great. And they have Reissdorf Kolsch on draught! What else do you need?

Part of Daniel Boulud’s Michelin-starred empire, DBGB uses local seasonal ingredients and traditional charcuterie to showcase the best of American and French cuisine.
Cara MocciaFebruary 20, 2013
Order Dessert. All of them. Meyer Lemon & Pistachio Sundae may be one of the best things I've ever tasted. Gran Marnier Soufflé? Need I say more??!!
The Spark GroupJune 13, 2011
Chic with a great atmosphere. Our recommendations: the Louisiane sausage and the Tunisienne on a bun with mint yogurt. Main dish? The steak frites & the lamb duo are spectacular.
Durga UsagiSeptember 18, 2011
