The fact that they use tallow and not any seed oils makes this worth 5 stars, we have been eating seed oils in our food for years which is slowly killing us and giving us health issues that we could avoid without seed oils. Not to mention the food here is fantastic. The best nachos I have truly ever had. The cheeseburgers are incredible and their american cheese is real with no plastic in it like most cheese that you buy at deli counters. GTK Livingston read more

If you're looking for a tasty smash burger this is it. While it's insanely greasy, it's very delicious. I got a double Wagyu and the grease was dripping down my fingers as I was eating it. I would've been ok with a single patty instead of double. I hate that they charge extra for everything. Extra for pickles, lettuce, side sauce..everything that should already be on the burger is an extra. The fries are fried in tallow and are pretty good. They went well with the side sauces I got - cheese sauce and butter buffalo. And also I tried their chocolate milkshake..solid. Overall great filling lunch. But all in all I spent over $50. This place isn't cheap. Am I dying to come back? No. But if I ever drive by again, I'd keep it simple and get a single patty burger and call it a day. read more

Way busier than anticipated for a lunch service during the weeks so I'd rec getting a reservation or coming on off hours. They do have self-ordering stations for to-go orders if you end up not wanting to wait. Even at the tables there's QR codes to order online so there's no server (which we kinda had to deduce ourselves). Just runners and people cleaning up the tables. People were nice, one even offered to get us crayons for our toddler while we waited. The food itself was really good. But I have some issues w logistics: -The host stand wasn't where you left your name for a table, it was a separate guy w a tablet so people didn't know where the line actually was. -The menu up at the host stand noted that burgers and sandwiches came with fries but none of them actually do when you order (which is ridiculous honestly.) -Everything is an up-charge I mean it's one thing for bacon or jalapeños but lettuce and tomatoes? Any sauce besides their weird homemade ketchup? Even for the chicken tenders? This is annoying also because they sell their sauces bottled and people might be more inclined to buy them if they could actually try them first? -No servers means no service lol I had a question - had to chase someone down. Needed water for my kid - they kind of reacted like... "buy a bottle?? lol" -No refills on fountain drinks unless you pay another $1.50 more on top of the $3 to be eligible to have refills. Now, like I said, food was good. Portions were good. (Although drinks were very small) food came out surprisingly fast thankfully. But I've literally never seen a stingier set up for a burger place in my life. read more

I really love the aesthetic and overall concept of Burger and Butcher. The space feels intentional, clean, and well thought out, and I appreciate the philosophy behind the food. Everything is either fried or prepared in beef tallow or burger fat, which immediately sets it apart from a lot of places doing burgers right now. No seed oils is how it should be period! The fries had great flavor, but they came out a little dry and not as hot as I would've liked. Not bad by any means--just didn't quite hit that fresh, piping-hot fry moment. For my main, I ordered the triple organic grass-fed burger with the house special sauce, pickles, egg, and sautéed onions. The burger itself was nice and moist, with crispy edges that I really enjoyed. I'm coming off a very strict month of dieting, so my palate was pretty dialed in, and overall the flavor was solid. That said, the cheese was a bit strong compared to the sauce, and while the burger was filling (I got full surprisingly fast), it felt like it was missing a little "kick" to fully bring everything together. One thing I really loved was the retail side of the restaurant. Being able to purchase meat, bone broth, Spring Valley water in glass bottles, and other similar products is a great touch and fits the brand perfectly. My girlfriend ordered the chicken fingers and a grass-fed organic vanilla milkshake. She really enjoyed the milkshake, but wasn't too happy with the chicken fingers. They're gluten-free, which we appreciate, but she mentioned there was a slight artificial taste. Just putting that out there for anyone considering them. Overall, I love the idea, the quality-forward approach, and the vibe of the place. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a go-to spot. I'd definitely come back and try more from the menu. read more

Burger And Butcher - Grass fed Organic Triple burger with beef tallow fries - Burgers Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

I saw this place on Instagram so make the hour + trek up to north Jersey to check it out. I went with the B&B blend single patty with pickles and onions. Not the biggest fan of chopped onion on a burger, more of a sliced onion fan but nbd. The sauce it came with was great. Burger was very good. You can tell it's cooked with better ingredients because you don't get the heavy feeling after like you normally do. Fries were good as well. Wasn't a fan of the ketchup. There is a tobacco store next door and you can definitely smell it inside the minute you walk in. If I was in the area again I'd stop in read more

Finally was able to try Burger and Butcher and it was good and met the expectations I had. They have their own side of the parking lot which tends to fill up fast. There is also indoor and outdoor seating. I like that you either order at the kiosk up front or scan the QR code at your table and place your order and your food is brought out to you. My only complaint is I wish they weren't smash burgers those honestly are not my favorite style of patty but it was still good. Definitely not a fan of their special sauce so next time I will order just a cheese smash burger. Additionally each topping is 0.50 cents. So the single smash burger is $13.99 and add an additional 0.50 for cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc. The fries itself were good for being fried in tallow however they lacked any flavor or seasoning so if you sprinkle on some salt much better. read more

So far we have been back twice and have not been disappointed. The burgers are fantastic. I got the grass feed 5oz single burger with bacon and onion straws. Wife got the grass feed 5oz with cheese, bacon and ketchup. FYI the ketchup is store made and yummy. The fries are done in beef taco and are worth the trip. The prices are a bit on the high side, but worth every penny. The place is small, always a crowd. But worth the wait. We will be going back. Sorry no pics this trip, was hungry and the food smelled awesome. read more

I would give this a solid 3.8 if I could. I do love the idea of this place (no oils/anything fried is done so in tallow), but unfortunately, the chicken sandwich was underwhelming. I chose not to get any sauce on it, but even though there was cheese on it, it unfortunately had almost no flavor. It would have been nice if the breading was salted/peppered. I don't love when a place depends solely on a sauce for flavor. I will say, the chicken itself seemed super fresh, it just wasn't really enjoyable due to the lack of flavor. All that being said, this stills gets a 3.8 from me because (1) the fries are INCREDIBLE, perfectly crispy and salted and a great size, and (2) the service is friendly; even though the ordering is electronic, staff checked in on our table a couple of times. Down to give a different entree a try, and definitely down to have those fries again! read more

Burger And Butcher - The fried chicken sandwich with a handful of fries from the family-sized basket - Burgers Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

This is a fantastic place with popular dishes that use better less processed ingredients. Better bread, grass-fed beef, no seed oils; they use beef tallow for their fries. This is a healthier and tastier version of classic foods like burgers, hotdogs, fries and cheessteaks... I would highly recommend this place!!! read more

Burger And Butcher - Cheesesteak - Burgers Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

Great burger! Loved that there were 3 options available for the type of meet and the layers I wanted. Meat was great, as was the bun. Really flavorful sauce on the burger and spend the extra $0.50 on the pickles, they are a great addition. We also got the family size fries. They are fresh (always a win in my eyes), but they over-salted them a bit. I got a side of the Hot Honey Ranch with the fries, a definite winner. Very cool place and lots of seating both inside and out. Staff was very friendly, from explaining the ordering process, serving us and checking in on us. read more

Burger And Butcher - Burgers Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

This is a busy, popular spot and I can see why. I'm still thinking about the flavor of the burger. The beef taste was quite pleasing and I'd love to have it again. BUT the burger and fries sides, all of which are a la carte, are quite $$$$ for the portions you get. They make their own ketchup and while it was tasty, I wish they offered some standard ketchup as well since the homemade version tasted a bit like a dressed up Campbells Tomato soup. The interior is really fun with antlers on the wall and darkly painted walls. It's a family, casual spot that fits the area nicely. You order via tablets and the food is brought to you. read more

Burger was really good, loved their sauce. Went with a wagyu burger and the cinnamon desserts. Enjoyed both and will be back to try more!

Excellent food, Service & Atmosphere...Absolutely worth the wait and the price...Don't forget to treat yourself to a delicious Milkshake

One of the best cheesesteaks and burgers I've ever had. Quality of the beef was good and I love that it's grass fed. The cheesesteaks in particular stood out as being better than most places in Philly. Don't skip out on the fries but be warned the portions are huge if you get the family size. read more

Delicious meats! Great nachos! Good burger! Not a fan of the sauce but the food is great without sauces. Great healthy snack options inside as well. Doesn't taste like fast food because it's made with real ingredients! read more

Me and my husband drove about an hour to give this place a try . So glad we did ! This is a decent size location and very casual spot . The staff were super friendly and told us we could either order at the counter or we could scan the QR code and order that way. Fairly simple menu . I definitely recommend the double smashed wagyu burger and the cheesesteak and must have an order of fries. Delicious! The cheesesteak looks small but very hearty and full of cheesy goodness I almost didn't finish it . The smash burger had nice crispy edges and some special sauce that elevates the burger flavor . Those hand cut fries remind me of boardwalk fries yummy ! They also make their own ketchup which is thick and slightly sweet . I would definitely recommend you give this place a try even if you have to go off the beaten path. Also recommend driving around lake Mohawk area just to take in the scenery and beautiful homes surrounding that area . read more

My wife and I were in the area of Sparta for a wedding and the day we were leaving we decided to stop by a recommended burger joint that was serving grass fed burgers and tallow fried French fries. This sounded exactly like the type of place we would love. I got the double grass fed burger, my wife got a single. We ordered a side of fries as well. These smash burgers were the best we have had. I would take this burger over smash burger any day! We asked for the sauce on the side and we could not get enough of it. The tallow fries with homemade ketchup were outstanding. Our server Nicole was sweet and knowledgeable and made our experience that much better. You will not be disappointed by stopping in. read more

Finally tried the hyped up place. First off I do love that they say they fry their food in beef tallow. We had the organic Grassfed burger, cheesesteak, fries & sourdough brioche donut holes. Burger & cheesesteak were delicious along with the special sauce. Fries were a bit oily in my opinion & seemed as if we got the left over portion. Sourdough donut holes skip, way too greasy. They kinda fall apart when you eat it & taste very oily. (Get them if you're into that) I was hoping for better donut holes. Place isn't the prettiest inside but clean. Service was ok. Place wasn't busy when we were there on a Sunday night. You order from a kiosk at the front or can order from the table using a QR code. They also have a little fridge that's stocked with meats and dairy products for Togo. I would come back for a burger & maybe try their milkshake though. read more

The food was ok. The price was wayyyy too much for what it was though. $11 for a milkshake that tastes like chocolate milk. $8 for fries that are ok. $11 for a smashburger which was ok. Its an ok place to try but wouldn't come back. read more

The place is new so perhaps there's a learning curve here. You need to order from a kiosk yet the place is set up not to use a kiosk. This isn't Shake Shack after all. For these prices, there needs to be a wait staff. (And why is the default tip 20% ordering and paying on a kiosk????). The kiosk did have multiple options for ordering but there should but multiple types of cheese for a Wagu burger, not just yellow American. A good quality Swiss would be nice. Now the Wagu 4 oz burger at over $14.00 looked amazing but was surprisingly bland. I wasn't thrilled with the over priced Wagu dog either. It was way too thick and no snap for a ripper. The decor is rather boring and dark but hey, there's parking! read more

This was one of the more delicious burgers I have had in a very long time! I was really interested in checking it out after seeing the mentions of high quality ingredients, use of beef tallow for their fryer items, and that they make their sauces/condiments from scratch and I am so glad I made the trip to try this place out.....everything was soooooo good! I tried the double wagyu burger with French fries and also got some chicken tenders. They were all incredible but the star of the show was for sure the burger, a super tasty beef blend that was perfectly cooked. The fries were perfectly crispy and the flavor they had due to being cooked in beef tallow was so much better than any fries you'll get anywhere else. The chicken tenders also had a nice and crunchy outside later and a very meaty inside which was amazing. Their home made ketchup was unbelievable too, I never knew ketchup could taste so good...... The best part about this incredibly delicious meal was not feeling like garbage after such a meal. That was the ultimate proof about their quality ingredients and not using the garbage oils that every restaurant uses by default today unfortunately. I do not live close by at all but will definitely be coming back and very excited to make the trip again and bring my family! read more

We had lunch here today. I had been wanting to try this place for awhile after seeing the food featured on instagram. We drove up from Rockaway so the drive was 30 minutes due to the sinkhole traffic and likely not worth it. Pros - Clean dining space with plenty of seating after 1p on a Saturday. - Easy, no wait ordering using the QR codes at the table. - Friendly staff. - Easy parking with plenty of spaces. - Milkshakes are good. Cons - VERY expensive for what you get. One single burger, one double burger, one family fry, two waters and two shakes ended up being over $70 before tip. - A seat yourself establishment with almost little "waiting" on the table (just bringing the food and drinks and then clearing your spot when you're done) should not default to an 18% tip. The minimum I saw as a tip when placing the order through the toast app at the table was 15%. The total with tip was $87. Insane. - I would agree with other reviewers that the food is super greasy. I wasn't a huge fan of this. It does sit heavy afterwards. - While the milkshake was pretty good, it was not worth $11+. Glad we got to give it a try to see if we'd like it, but likely won't return. read more

Review from a poor man. I want to hate this place. I really really do. Because nothing about it is a cheap meal!!! Absolutely nothing. But The problem lies in the quality of the burger. It tastes stupid good!!! Like it has zero reason to be that tasty for a burger. None. I don't know what the seasoning blend they put on the burger is, nor do I know how much beef tallow it is cooked in, but it makes for one hell of a tasty burger. My only gripe is that the burgers are small (but that is what smash burgers tend to be by its very nature.). And the price for everything is way too much. I would love to try the cheese steak from here but I am not spending 21 bucks for a cheese steak. I am glad that A) I am poor so I can't have this all the time B) glad that it is a little bit far of a drive for just getting a burger. C) it is so unhealthy that I couldn't eat it often even if I wanted to. lol. Well done Burger and butcher on making a fantastic product but I just can't justify the price point for a regular visit. read more

Delicious healthy food paradise. This is what all restaurants and food establishments should emulate. My girlfriend and I stopped here on the way home from an upstate trip and we loved it. It was our first time here and we can't wait to come back. This place is a gem for those who want truly healthy and delicious food at fair prices and you can really lay back and relax as you enjoy all the foods you love with each item having the quality you're looking for. We had great burgers, fries, hot dogs, and chicken tenders. The milkshake was delicious and went perfect with the meal. Not to mention, I've never seen somewhere go as far as to make sourdough doughnuts, they were incredible. Can't say enough good things, Thank you Claudio and all staff for your great service. read more

Hard choice between 4 and 5 stars. The food tasted great!!!! The service is very friendly and is always coming around to see if you need anything. The place is clean and very presentable. The only reason I didn't have 5 stars is the price, you could easily go in alone order one of their more expensive burgers, a side of fries and get a shake and it will be around $50. With that being said, I'm not saying that the food isn't worth it! We left very fulfilled and happy with the taste of the food. read more

Finally a spot to get some Organic/Grass-fed burgers! Yes we drove well out of our way to go here but it sure was a great choice. We split a lot of items because we wanted to get a taste of a few things: Of course their burgers were amazing! So fresh. We also had the cheesesteak. I thought it was really good but just a tad over seasoned. Wagyu hot dog - delicious and fried in tallow. Tallow Fries - were like crack - so good. Homemade sauces - ketchup was a bit on the thicker side but we all loved the special sauce and hot honey ranch. It's not cheap but you definitely get quality food that's prepped better. Service was great. You can either order from the table using the app or you can go up and order. Place is super clean and spacious. Plenty of parking (lot). ENJOY! read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. This was possibly the best burger I've had in ages. Also of note were the fries. Crispy, delicious and finished in beef tallow which gave them a distinct and satisfying flavor. I don't know what the special sauce is but I'd put that stuff on everything it was so good. Staff was very friendly and the owner Ethan was more than happy to speak with us. Clean, quick service and a limited menu that made ordering easy. This place is a destination you need to visit. Definitely will return ! read more

Not kidding. The best burger I have ever had. I mean I honestly don't even know what to say about this place because it's so great, I would give it 10 stars if I could, and you don't leave there feeling full because their no seed oils establishment, only problem is I live about 50 minutes from their only location but hopefully they come more to Bergen County soon, but will make a trip here every once and awhile when I want to treat myself, Nachos, Cheesesteaks and Protein shakes are amazing here too, I mean literally can't go wrong getting anything in here, Enjoy ! read more

Been wanting to come here for a while finally made it. In my opinion very overrated and overpriced. Says I have a half a pound of meat there no way in the world was there a half pound I know it shrinks a little after cooking, but still no way. Way over seasoned I don't know if it was the burger or the sauce that was on it or maybe the Cook spilled a salt shaker on it not sure. Fries were good and so was cheese sauce. read more

Drove 30 minutes to try this place out and was extremely happy with every part of my experience. The food was phenomenal, tons of flavor and lots of options. The burger was big and very flavorful. The tallow fries are to die for. I will be talking about the nachos until I can have them again. Claudio was a great presence in the restaurant, he made sure we had everything we needed and told us all about the business. They had frozen steak to take home which is a great addition. It is very clean and comfortable place to indulge in delicious food. I would highly recommend coming here. We surely will be back. Thank you Burger and Butcher team! read more

I have enjoyed great burgers all around the country but this may be the standard by which all burgers are measured. I had the Standard Triple with lettuce, tomato, and sautéed onions. Comes with a house sauce which didn't do too much or too little. They use top tier meat and it shows in the flavor profile. The tallow fried fries were solid. While their house made catsup was very tasty I didn't feel it added much to the fries. The servers were perfect for this service. The interior was clean, comfortable and supported the quality of the food. read more

We visited this restaurant this weekend and were not impressed. Once we are seated, we were told to order online by scanning a QR code After placing the order thensystem automatically prompts you to pay and tip. We did our usual 20% and waited for the food. If you want a coke you must by a bottled coke which was not a deal breaker but the soda pops were warm. So we asked for some glasses with ice. The glasses arrived and they were filthy with grease fingerprints all over them. We asked for new ones inly to see the waitress roll her eyes. If you want condiments, straws, to go containers or anything YOU must get up and get them yourself. Why force a tip of all they do is bring the food to the table? The homemade ketchup was horrible. The burgers were comparable in size to a cheeseburger from McDonald's. The fries they serve are burnt. We looked at everyone else's fries and they were the same. The glasses were dirty as well. The seasoning on the burgers was not good. The place is very nice but expect to pay about $30 per person for a small cheeseburger fries and a hot soda. Definitely will not be returning. read more

BEST BURGER AND FRIES!!! I drive over 2 1/2 hours to eat here. All these people saying it's overpriced and greasy clearly don't understand the importance of NO SEED OILS and grass fed beef. Of course it's going to be more expensive than a "normal" burger, it's not Burger King! That's why it's worth it! It's the best burger and fries I have ever eaten PERIOD. I appreciate everything that they do to make better food and I will continue to support places like this. We need more of them! Thank you for caring about the health of your customers!
