Reviews for Butcher Bar in Queens, NY
The staff is friendly, and attentive. The menu prices, are very reasonable. It wasn't crowded, and I got my food kinda fast.... The Meat Candy Burnt Ends are a popular choice for appetizer. It definitely tasted better with the sauce. I was suprised at howgood the creamy Mac & Cheese were. It was on point. The Smoked BBQ sandwich was very good as well. Read more
Got the poached eggs over hash, spring mix salad and toast. It was very tasty, though next time, I want to try the bbq. Simple,... casual, but I recommend it. Read more
This place is for meat lovers and does not disappoint. The sangria was good. The food was delicious. The meat was so tender... it fell off the bone. The spinach and brussels sprouts were really well seasoned. The ambience was nice. I would recommend. Read more
I truly don't understand the hype/rave reviews. Maybe because I'm spoiled from having recently eaten barbecue in the Carolinas... or maybe because I visited the restaurant on a Tuesday at 8:30pm and that's just not when they do their best work? Whatever thecase, the food here felt very just "meh." But let's start with some positives: service was great. It seemed like there wereonly two waitstaff on the floor (one primarily at the bar), and they were doing an excellent job at handling the 6/7 seatedtables, plus bar clients. Drinks came out on time, recommendations were given, orders were placed correctly. 5/5 for service.Decor and ambiance were also pretty cool; everything on par with what you'd call ~swanky BBQ joint. We loved the cleaver (?)used as the door handle. We tried: "Fall off the Bone Sauced" Smoked Ribs 1/4lb Pulled Chicken (Sauced) 1/4lb Smoked BeefBrisket Brussels Sprouts w/ Applewood Bacon Applewood Bacon Baked Beans Creamy Mac & Cheese Cornbread w/ Honey Butter House Slaw& Pickles Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the burnt ends had run out. The ribs were incredibly tender;fall-off-the-bone as promised, but not quite "sauced just right," as they were drenched in sauce. The brisket, while alsotender, was lacking in flavor, and the chicken was a little dry (additionally, didn't look very much like my idea of "pulled").Of the sides, the Brussels sprouts were hands-down my favorite and the only side I would probably order again. The mac & cheesewas dry, the cornbread chewy, and the baked beans were too vinegar-y for our tastes (and we weren't expecting the big chunks ofonions and peppers). Even the slaw was a disappointment, as the cabbage was shredded into large pieces and didn't really havethat "wet" feel of a good, mayo-based coleslaw. To top it off, nothing came out warm; and no one really wants to eat room-tempbeans, mac & cheese, or meat. So, y'know, it was "meh." I wouldn't ever make it a point to return to Butcher Bar, but i Read more
Very friendly service. The food was good, but nothing stood out. The fall off the bone ribs weren't actually that tender. The... mac & cheese was creamy, as advertised, but lacked the tang of cheese. The bread pudding was sugary, but the flavor was bland. Read more
Ordered delivery from Seamless and it got quite expensive with the additional fees and tip so I wish I?d known about the option... of ordering directly from their website. I ordered the meat candy (beef burnt ends) which I loved and actually had before sincei had that catered in a party i went to. I also had the fries which I thought was just average. Read more
The food was good. The portions were great but a bit pricey. Customer service was great. Unique bbq flavor. The experience is... great for a first timer. Not worth a second/long trip in my opinion. The AC barely works so be prepared to sweat your a** off!They do provide outdoor dining and street parking is VERY limited. Is it worth and 1hr drive? Definitely not. Read more
It?s not often that you find a decent bbq place open with friendly waiters at 1145pm. Butcher bar is your jam serving up classic... home style bbq that was so good that - wow - it didn?t even last for me to take a picture of it. Try the Texas toast pblt andgrab that side of broccoli for an unexpected journey to flavor land. So much to love here, decently priced and good drinkoptions. Read more
