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

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

An EPIC meal. The Butcher steak was moderately priced and full of flavor. The strip steak had an great peppery crust. The sunchokes, Bibb salad, spinach, fried mashed potatoes, eggplant were great!

Butcher's steak, side of long beans and a glass of lambrusco makes the perfect meal!
Ben SternJuly 24, 2016
Long lines but worth the wait. Best steakhouse in Williamsburg (yes, better than Peter Luger!)
Emilie DishonghApril 21, 2015
Lamb chop, octopus, fennel and really anything else the ladies pull off that grill. This place is the best thing about Williamsburg by a mile.
Carrie LawsonJune 10, 2016
The hanger steak is lick your lips amazing. All the sides are incredible and well executed. The desserts are good as well.
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!
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!

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.
Nadira IlanaJuly 8, 2013
Panko crusted blue cheese ice cream with a balsamic vinaigrette syrup and candied 'bacon'. 100% pure epicurean guilt.
Adam KopecOctober 1, 2013
Get the pork chop or the butchers steak, with pan fried mash potatoes. I mean, look at this kid!
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!
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.
Heather PopilOctober 19, 2014
The butchers steak and the veal are my top choices. Bacon and fried mashed potatoes were killer
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
O LFebruary 6, 2022
Yeah it’s great. Some of the best beef I’ve ever had. Nice low key vibe. Solid sides and wine choices too
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.
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
Courtney DeshJanuary 11, 2019
The ambiance, BUTCHER STEAK highly recommend, and bacon are all awesome
Maggie WalshMarch 10, 2013
Pork chop is amazing and there's no denying how good the garlic butter butcher's steak is! Enjoy!
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.
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!
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

Don't sleep on the Sweet Tea Brined Young BoBo Chicken. One of the best chicken dishes in NYC. No joke.
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.
Jennifer LeungOctober 21, 2014
The clams are amazing. There aren't that many, sadly, especially when they go so fast. Delicious! The cider is really nice too!

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.
DanMay 14, 2018
Butcher steak and axe handle ribeye are fantastic. Sides were only ok. Well curated and priced wine list.
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)

Everything is good. But ALWAYS order the mashed potatoes!!
AngelaNovember 21, 2014
Bobo chicken may look a little surprising but is awesome. As are the sardines.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011
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

A true williamsburg experience, no need to go to Luger's, this is my favorite steak in New York City area
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... ;)
Saarim ZamanMarch 19, 2016
Butchers steak for $19 is a straight steal. Pair it with truffled fried mashed potatoes and you'll be feeling (^-^)
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.
Rachel NuwerMarch 18, 2020
Good but overhyped. The steak was a bit tough and the sides were tasty but certainly not worth a two hour or longer wait. Better food and meat to be found in Williamsburg.
Kimmie OhhJanuary 3, 2020
Their piedmontese ax handle ribeye steaks are priced per ounce, minimum 45 oz & are meant to be shared. Their lamb chops are also priced per ounce, minimum 15 oz.
Kev SkinnyAugust 14, 2014
Appetizer: octo and the 3 different eggplant. Main: best butcher steak on planet earth. No need to spend more.

Barbara JiangMarch 20, 2018
Unbelievable flavor the steak and lamb. Sides were pretty good too! Definitely a filling and delicious meal.
Serra CSeptember 1, 2019
Everything was good what we eat. you should try diver scallops, octopus, Butcher steaks, mashed potatoes and long beans.
JunkyardJoeAugust 16, 2014
The spinach dish is amazing and the Hangar steak is tasty. Nice service.
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!
Jarryd CommerfordJanuary 7, 2019
The best steak in New York. Makes Peter Luger’s look like a joke.

One of the best restaurants in Brooklyn. Everything is grilled. I love the whole chicken!
VladMay 5, 2018
Sit by the bar and enjoy watching your steak grilled 🥩
