I have been here quite a few times – food is exceptional every single time, especially their meat candy and the corn bread with honey butter.
Service is 10/10 even on the busier days. The last two times we’ve been here, we’ve had Thomas as our server. He is so observant during busier times – he greeted us as soon as we walked in and let us know he will be with us asap . He is great at juggling multiple tables and checking in with us periodically to see if we needed anything else. He stopped by a few times to ask if the food was okay. He also has such a sweet, upbeat personality – we always know we’ll have a great time if we see him there.

Coming back 4 years later after an initial stellar review, I was disappointed with some of my choices.
What was good:
Burnt Ends: No wonder they are award winning!! They packed with immense flavor and tenderness. This was by far the best meat of the 3.
Pork ribs: They were fall off the bone and the sauce was delicious. They were flavored thoroughly.
Brussel Sprouts: whoa these were out of this world good! The crunch was mastered and the glaze packed it with dynamic flavor.
The Bad:
Pork belly: This was the most disappointing, dry bits, not much flavor
Corn bread: just bland, dry, not worth consuming
Corn: it felt like it was just cooked and slathered with some mayo and tajin seasoning but there wasn’t any flavor to it
Mac n cheese: nothing to write home to
Review from 2021:
I lived in the Midwest for 8 years and have been on a quest to find some decent BBQ and Butcher Bar delivered!! First our cocktails were phenomenal- margaritas and lemonade was amazing. I haven’t had cocktails these enjoyable in a while.
I ordered the porky platter. It was enough to take home for seconds! The ribs were fall off the bone, juicy, finger licking good!!! Next was the pulled pork which was wonderfully seasoned and also moist. The pork belly was just okay. The corn bread pieces were moist and a good compliment to the dish. Standard cole slaw. The brussel sprouts with bacon were grilled to a nice crisp exterior, uneven salting!! But the bacon gave it a nice rich taste. I need to come back STAT!!
Service was pretty bad for the outdoor dining, maybe they were busy inside!

absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, Maggie was fabulous — so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made sure we had everything we needed and really elevated the whole experience. It’s rare to find service that good!
The food was delicious — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Will definitely be back soon ! 10/10

Everything is amazingly good, even the pickle is salty to perfection. All the meats were juicy and flavorful, and the servers are very attentive

The few times I have been here, food has been great! I had Thomas as my waiter, and every time has been a wonderful experience because of his exceptional customer service. I know the next time I come back (probably soon), if he’s there it will be a good time. Very attentive, and very likable person! Will be coming back for more!

My husband and I had a very delicious dinner last night. We shared the meat candy burnt ends and mama’s fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. Both the sandwiches were phenomenal and the fries were a generous portion. One of the reasons we came was because butcher bar is on Rakuten and Toast (collective hospitality). Both are an incentive seeing as how there are so many restaurants in the area.
Keep up the great work and see you soon!

Overall, the food was ok. There were some winners and some losers. The burnt ends were pretty good, the fat well rendered, the brisket was too lean for my taste, and the pork belly was a disappointment. It was cut so thin that it was hard and dry. I was disappointed that the cornbread has gotten way smaller or maybe they just gave less than they used to since it was one of the things we enjoyed. The Brussel sprouts and queso street corn were both really delicious. The cheese fries were super disappointing as the fries were not fresh cut and desperately needed some color.
Our server was nice but not to be found when we needed him given it was a quiet weekday and there was only one other table there. I do think it was only him and the cook there at that time so I didn’t make a big deal of it.

Definitely one of the better BBQ spots I’ve had in NYC. They get the sides right as well. Not sure what’s on the Brussels but eat some, it’s good.
Coleslaw was standard tastiness but a staple. Cornbread was interesting in a good way. Very cake like. It’s own thing almost. Nice and moist. I got dry rub ribs so I could try the three standard sauces. Go that route and it’s saves $1
Had a “frose”
Wouldn’t again. Had the street corn, just get the regular. No flavor.
Would go back to try more things!

I’ve been here many times, but today the meat was tasteless. I ordered my food and I was on the phone, yet the girl behind the bar came to my table four times in 20 minutes and kept staring at me from behind the counter instead of finding something else to do. It wasn’t busy, but she made me feel rushed and uncomfortable. I couldn’t even enjoy my food with that energy.

I finally got to try Butcher Bar in Astoria, and wow—it totally lived up to the hype. The Infamous Meat Candy burnt ends were insane. Seriously, probably the best I’ve ever had. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and packed with flavor. I could have eaten a whole plate of just those.
We also had the mac and cheese, which was really comforting and creamy—just the kind of side you want with BBQ.
The place itself has a really chill, welcoming vibe, and the staff was great too. If you’re into good barbecue, definitely give this place a shot. I’ll for sure be going back.
