Jennifer LeungOctober 21, 2014The clams are amazing. There aren't that many, sadly, especially when they go so fast. Delicious! The cider is really nice too!
Don't sleep on the Sweet Tea Brined Young BoBo Chicken. One of the best chicken dishes in NYC. No joke.
Rachel NuwerMarch 18, 2020Good 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.- Arda KaraJuly 25, 2021The fish and the vegetables are better than the steak if you are comfortable with having that kind of opinion
JeffreyJuly 20, 2014Chicken or fish good, but you can still get what is the most baffling beefsteak bargain in town, the estimable butcher’s steak, for a paltry $16.
Serena DavidsonApril 5, 2019Steak, chicken, everything is amazing!! Atmosphere is great, absolute must to visit.
Brunch is 100% the move. Plenty of room, no wait, full menu, AND you get the patty melt.
Kevin ChupkaApril 14, 2017The butcher's steak was delicious -- the sweet tea brined chicken was OUT OF THIS WORLD
AngelaNovember 21, 2014Bobo chicken may look a little surprising but is awesome. As are the sardines.
Chi NguyenMay 6, 2014order the bone in ribeye cooked rare! perfectly salted, almost too salty maybe but great after drinking a few drinks!
Serious EatsSeptember 15, 2013Neighborhood cocktail bar with a food menu centering on hefty portions of grilled meat.
Justin DickinsonMarch 15, 2014Hangar steak is the best I've had. No question. And I hate when people say "this is the best".
Rich KearneyJanuary 13, 2013I don't know that it's one of the two or three best restaurants in Wburg as many reviews suggest, but it is very solid.
markus gerdemannJanuary 27, 2016The strip steak is awesome! And so is the grilled avocado and the carrots!
Secret- come for brunch. No wait and just as delicious food. Croque monte cristo was to die for
Mager MagerSeptember 23, 2012The fried mashed potatoes will make you melt. The butcher steak is blue collar and white collar.
The truffle mashed potatoes, halloumi salad, and steak are great.
- rye LACESeptember 12, 2022The Bacon is amazing! Also recommend the Biscuits broccoli and of course the steak.

Bond StreetOctober 6, 2016"Arguably the dopest, most flavorful steak (especially at this price tag) in BK" - Grace Gordon, brand director - Refinery29 Read more
The Corcoran GroupOctober 29, 2010Grab an order of Deep Fried Hot Dogs and Sliders and find a seat in the backyard. If its available, and have an iron stomach, try The Newark Double.
An excellent collection of sometimes obscure wines. Ask for suggestions - and they won't oversell...
Easily the best restaurant in the neighborhood right now. Get the hanger steak and truffle mash potatoes.
Danielle AshbyOctober 5, 2013Love this place. You can't go wrong with what you order. Veal flank is great!
Kevin LaMannaMay 18, 2014Good place with a good menu. The short hostess/ manager needs to go. She's extremely aggressive and is a bit of an embarrassment.
Village VoiceSeptember 12, 2013Get the patty melt and add an egg to it for a twist to the classic burger.
The Fette Hash is delicious. Might be World Cup influence, but it was empty on Sunday afternoon.
Maybelle GruberJuly 6, 2013Everything our party of 4 ordered was delicious, but be forewarned... It's like a sauna in that restaurant!
Mike BodgeApril 4, 2013Share a steak or lambs saddle, some veggies, and a potato dish. Wash it down with enough wine on tap to ignore your giant bill.
WhiskeyJuly 14, 2013Butcher steak and pan fried mashed potatoes as good as advertised. Sit up at the bar and watch the grill masters at work.
Hands down the best steak in Brooklyn at the best price.
Their butcher steak is just as good as the reviews make it out to be. The cauliflower is the "steak of veggies."- Sarah TierneyDecember 14, 2014Steak and mashed potatoes four the best cozy home cooked feeling meal.

Always busy, so try popping in on a cold/rainy night. Then, pony up for the axe-handle ribeye & do battle.
