Had a great meal here. You'll find an original menu with decent portions. We had the duck wings and pickled lambs tongue flat bread. Both were tasty. The craft cocktails were amazing too.

The kale-pesto pasta dish is to die for. Paired with the whiskey cocktail with pineapple juice it is out of this world! Hope these two menu items make the permanent menu!!

Great cocktails and large beer selection. Menu has changed quite some bit from elevated street food to more comfort food. Still the same awesome vibe!

Start the day with gourmet street food made by chef at Franks‘n’Dawgs. Among the unconventional brunch offerings: Corn pancake gyro topped w/ fried chocolate chili chicken, apple slaw & maple yogurt

The Medieval field workers whom this restaurant’s name evokes would not have been able to place it, but the scent in the air at the Peasantry is most certainly that of truffle oil. Read more

The Peasantry offers "elevated street food" such as octopus gyros, lamb burgers and big, crispy duck wings. The space is rustic yet refined, and has Scrimshaw on tap. Read more

Had two great lunch visits. Brussel sprout salad, lamb gyro, Cajun pork burger, bone marrow burger, pork belly skewer are all home runs.

Get the Shrimp and Lobster Roll on their Brunch menu. It's amazing. Skip the French Toast. Soggy and not good!

Beet flatbread, then muscle bowl with watermelon salad. Amaze. Can't believe my 'hood finally has such a great go-to! Excellent food/people @ The Peasantry.

Pork Belly Gyro is money. There is a healthy amount of meat and the bread is succulent. Also liked the smoked oyster appetizer (seasonal)

The octopus hash is phenomenal. You have to love octopus but with the bacon and potatoes, it was delicious.
Matthew GarchikMarch 31, 2016
All great exotic foods with an always changing menu. For they have a duck dish get it

House chips are more refreshing than chips have any right to be. And do yourself a favor and get the bone marrow burger rare.

Creative menu, great owner and friendly staff. Definitely one of a kind, not to be missed.

Red wine braised rabbit with tagliatelle mushrooms shaved ricotta salata and thyme.

Third time here. While the menu has expanded and upgraded, a plus the place was busy and chaotic. They don't take reservations and people where blocking the door. I hope to go on a better night.

Menu seems to change frequently but get the beet flat bread if you can, and try the triple truffle fries if you dare!
Eric ChristopherNovember 1, 2014
The short rib and pork chop are both incredible. The truffle fries are mandatory.

Fried food fans must get the duck wings. They come with buttermilk dressing and fiercely sour cherry mostarda for double-dipping: Read more

Great Bloody Mary and some kick ass short rib hash! The staff is quite friendly as well.

Mussels and Triple Truffle Fries! Beer choices on draft are excellent.
Michael LillyNovember 17, 2012
You could probably pass on the duck burger. The truffle fries were good though, it's tough to mess those up. The Dragon's Milk is always a great choice.
Madison WrightJune 25, 2016
Owner and servers were fab! Duck tenders and waffles, wow.
Chris ColovosOctober 7, 2012
Pancetta and Chocolate Chip Waffle with Pistachios. YUM!!
Kyle ChovanecAugust 17, 2013
Great place, great owner. I had the foie gras and brisket burger
Jason GilmoreJuly 1, 2012
EAT the baby octopus gyro, Brussels sprouts salad, and the cauliflower flatbread
Justin KawaJune 29, 2014
Bison burger is best. Gyro is amazing too
ChristopherJanuary 16, 2014
Never even heard of half these beers and I drink a lot of beer!
Lisa RoebkeAugust 4, 2012
Unique food and laid back feel. The beet flatbread is delicious!
Jeff ShaferJune 22, 2014
Coffee is so good adding sugar and cream ruins it! But, there are no free refills :-(
Dylan ShawAugust 1, 2013
Wild boar burger was great. Drinks were very VERY small.
Chris ColovosOctober 7, 2012
Come here ASAP before there is a line every weekend. Amazing!!

Joey is an amazing chef. Makes everything to perfection.

The Wild Boar Burger is amazing!
Kris DonakerNovember 26, 2012
Must try the Smoked Oyster Brusetta...delish!
Kendra SnowAugust 5, 2012
Try the truffle fries, they're worth it.
Michael ReynoldsJanuary 5, 2013
Duck Wings and Pork Belly Gyro!!!
TonyMay 25, 2014
Food looks good but watch out for the hairs ... the kitchen won't believe you because they're all apparently bald
Allison KaminskiOctober 24, 2012
Try the kangaroo burger
Meredith BayJuly 20, 2013
Avoid! Leave right now. Mediocre service and ok food + supremely over priced. So sad because it is right near my house :(
Bethany SoloskiJuly 4, 2013
The food was super bland :( Everyone at the table was disappointed. Cool decor though!
Elena NadtochiyJune 25, 2016
Pretentious and mediocre. Save your money.
