Our waiter was kind and helpful when we asked for recommendations since we wanted something from the Big Cuts and we were informed that it would take an hour, which was fine for us since we ordered other things from the menu. However, they did forget to bring the bottle of wine for a long time. First?, they brought a glass instead of the bottle and then we needed to remind them twice about the wine as there seemed to have been some miscommunication between the servers but we got it in the end. However, we also had to wait for almost 1h for the The Best of BBQ Beef Platter and The WTF Burger. Which is too long of a time especially since you can see so many of them coming out of the kitchen. Therefore, there is definitely room for improvement since we had to wait a very long time for our drink and food.
The actual taste of the food was good. The The Best of BBQ Beef Platter was interesting to try since you get to taste a few of their dishes. The Texas Style Brisket was very smokey and very peppery on the outside. A bit too much for our taste. The Short Rib was cooked to perfection, slides off the bone, however the marinade and smoking does take away a bit of the beef flavor, it was good overall. Then the Sukade was the table’s favorite from the dish as it was cooked perfectly and it was so tender. Flavor wise it was the most subtle.
The WTF Burger is an experience. It is more of stacks of meat than a burger since you can’t really eat is as one. But it does have the wow factor presentation. It definitely needs more vegetables and some freshness since it is quite heavy.
The favorite of the evening was the Big Cut – Simmentaler: Côte à l’os. It was absolutely delicious. Simple but perfectly cooked and seasoned with salt so you get the taste of the meat.
Overall a nice meat restaurant. They truly are master’s of perfectly cooking any cut. Some items are just not to my taste flavor wise but I would definitely come back for the butcher blocks. Hopefully, they service is faster and more accurate the next time. 12.2025
We has an amazing host/server, drinks were good and the food was amazing. The star for us was the dip we got with the fries. Managed to score the recipe for that! Although it is for 10 liters xD
Further my wife has a gluten allergy, she put that in the reservation, and they took the time to explain and show all menu items she can have. We settled on The Best of BBQ Platter and they seperated all gluten items. Wife did not have any issues after!

All in all, definitely a recommendation to go here, and eat.
Since it’s within the “Van Nelle Fabriek”, you have plenty of space to park here, but you need to keep in mind that it will be payed parking.
I’m not the biggest fan of meat, but my brother and father’s eyes went hearts when the waiters brought us the meals.
The carpaccio was well made, as well as the tacos, but in my opinion, they had added a bit too much meat and was too greasy for me. The small salad was a good addition, together with the sauce. The spare ribs, however, were insanely good; juicy, tender and mouthwatering; in one word, very tasty. I would say, for the quality you get, it is worthy for the money. One thing to add though, is that there aren’t barely any vegetarian dishes, but well-understandable; after all, it is the butcher’s place .
Regarding beverages, the draft beer was a good combination. What surprised me was that there was a cocktail with tea, so I had to try it. It was good, but not really my taste, as it was stronger than expected.
Moreover, the theme of the place is intriguing; it’s as if you are an animal yourself in the butcher’s place; kind of creepy in my eyes . However, the environment was lively, filled with happy people and laughter from every table.
Lastly, the staff were over the top; such bright and polite people! Definitely made our evening, especially our waitress – the lady radiating energy and positivity; she was so helpful and full of jokes to lift up the mood!
In general, we had a great time in this restaurant, despite the somewhat creepy environment. Food was tip-top, beer good, the concept enthralling. I definitely recommend this place to any meat lover!
The menu offers delicious, perfectly cooked steaks that are sure to satisfy any meat lover. The portions are well-balanced—enough to leave you satisfied but not overwhelmed. Plus, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great choice for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended!
The ambience is great and completely in style and the food they serve out is amazing.
Unfortunately wasn’t able to try everything so I have to come back again to taste the rest 🙂
