Review Butcher Bar - Astoria

Delicious food. Excellent BBQ flavors. Except one meat, I wouldn’t order ribs again. It is too small and not tasty as the other meet. Good cold beers and lovely servers.

Daniela is a great server. Had burnt ends, pulled pork, brisket, cornbread and creamy mac n cheese. My one complaint, if I had one at all, was that the mac portion wad a bit smaller than I'd wished, which is a testament to how good it is. I could've inhaled that thing in 2 seconds. Can't wait to come back.

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 how good the creamy Mac & Cheese were. It was on point. The Smoked BBQ sandwich was very good as well.

Open space, good music and not obnoxiously loud. Food came out quick and was 👍🏼 Hubby got the Gimme The Beef and I got the Porky’s. Loved the burnt ends, so flavorful and tender! Brisket was a little dryer that I would’ve preferred but still good. Porky’s platter was on point! Only complaint might be that the pork belly was a bit too fatty. Mac and cheese 3/5. Queso Corn 5/5! Was stuffed by the time we were finished but hope to come back and try some dessert and additional sides!

The Mac and cheese, the meat candy and steak are to die for here! Shoutout to Kathy, Jynx, Lisa and Steve because they make the place feel at home everytime!

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.

I’m surprised at the consistency of the quality of food here—their service has picked up drastically, as well! With locally sourced organic meats, this place is by far one of the best bbq spots in the city. Over the years they have really built a solid reputation on their quality of meats. A tad on the pricey side but for the quality, it’s well worth it. Their meat candy burnt beef ends are a superb—along with their mac n’ cheese and fried pickles and other dishes. Definitely a great place to bring your friends and family!

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.

Great service ! Pork ribs were delish slow cooked for 11 hours and Mac and cheese was also very good butcher bowl with bbq chicken worth a try ! 100% recommend

Went for the big bacon burger and fries. It was good but not 25 dollars good. Will come back and try another sandwich. Food smells amazing

Some of the best bbq I've had in NYC! The ribs were fall off the bone tender and the brussel sprouts are so addictive. Great atmosphere and location!

I’m a regular here for dinner and I’ve had most of the menu at this point. Their brunch menu looks awesome and I’ll post another review once I’ve tried that. The burgers are solid and appetizers are fantastic. The only thing I’ve had that I didn’t love was the steak, but I’m not much of a steak person I guess. The PBLT is my favorite sandwich, and either the Mac and cheese or 5 bacon is my favorite burger, I can’t pick one. The Mac and cheese by itself though from the starter options though is amazing, definitely order that. The side of Mac is ok but is not as good once you’ve had the full version. The salads are consistently good, but come out looking slightly different each time (like sometimes avocado is diced, sometimes is sliced 🤷🏽‍♀️). I’m uploading lots of pictures!

Came here on a weekday afternoon carving some southern BBQ. Due to pandemic, the initial place we had wanted to go to had closed down. This became our backup spot and we were definitely not disappointed. We were welcomed with a sign of $9.99 for a choice of their meats and 2 sides. We chose the brisket with a side of Mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Aside from the platter, we ordered chicken tenders that came with corn bread, cheese fries, 2 orders of half rack ribs, and candied burnt ends. None of the food was lacking in flavor. The burnt ends, I expected some charcoal burnt piece of meat, was actually a sweet delight (no burnt taste at all). The ribs literally ripped off the bone with our forks and so easy to eat. The Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, a perfect combo with the burnt ends. The brisket was also really tender and hardly needed the bbq sauce. Between the 4 of us we were really full, that we ended up waking the tenders home. I ate them the next day and they were still really crunchy, and the cornbread really subtle and soft. The service was great, as the waitress greeted us really nicely and were patient with us. If you are in the Astoria area, I definitely recommend you checking out Butcher Bar for some smokin’ bbq. Definitely get their burnt ends, totally was the highlight of the meal.

I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now. So the day finally came- boyfriend and I stopped in for brunch... and it was so good! We both got the brunch burger. Definitely a good choice. The burger was juicy and amazing. The home fries it came with were some of the most flavorful home fries I've ever had. And the salad was also nice as well. We loved their sauces and would mix it with the habanero and try it with everything on our plate. The brunch also comes with a drink! I ordered a Bellini and my boyfriend ordered a mimosa. Both were delicious. They have a brunch happy hour (I unfortunately forgot the times) but it's $6 each for the brunch drinks, after the one that comes with brunch. We enjoyed our meal and I definitely want to come back to try dinner!
