Me and my family went to the Butcher's Block for my 27th birthday. From the moment we walked into Butcher's Block, we knew we were in for a great experience. The ambience is absolutely beautiful warm, inviting, and the perfect atmosphere whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a nice night out. I ordered the dry-aged bourbon ribeye, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, like cutting through butter. The flavor was incredible, with the perfect balance of smoky richness and a subtle sweetness that made every bite unforgettable. What really made the evening special was our server, Mark. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu. His positive attitude and genuine hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you get Mark as your server, you're lucky and guaranteed to have an excellent dining experience. To top it all off, we ordered the Chiro Bowl for dessert, and because it was my birthday, they surprised me by putting it on the house. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect ending to an amazing meal. If you're looking for an outstanding steakhouse with incredible food, a beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service, Butcher's Block is the place to go. I can't recommend it enough, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The food was pretty good but my wife's steak was sent back three times as it ruined our anniversary The service was good but wonder if the medium steak was ordered incorrectly The ambiance is a very loud bar crowd which is very unusual for an upper end steakhouse Not worth the $$ as I won't go back at all read more

When this place opened, it was very difficult to get a reservation. So now that it has been a few years, we finally were able to get a decent reservation on a weekend night. When we arrived it was a little chaotic. The entry way was congested. Once we got to our table, the ambiance was great. We went into the 'meat' room. It was interesting and small. There was 1 other couple there in the beginning but towards the end of the visit it got crowded. Once back at the table things were good. The food was excellent. The porterhouse was cooked perfectly. Everything was served family style. The dessert was good. It had Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on it. We will return. read more

Don't allow reviews to stop you from an amazing experience. That's just what this place gave me and my wife. On her special day I could have not picked a better restaurant to make her feel like the queen she is! The place was absolutely gorgeous, we pulled up to valet parking and then walked into a great attentive host who made us feel like a million bucks. We had John as a waiter and he was patient, kind and sweet. The food was even better than the hospitality. If you have room for desert please get the churro, it's phenomenal!!!! read more

Came here for a second time. The Christmas season decor here is so fabulous! We were seated exactly at our reservation time and our server Kevin went above and beyond!! He offered us all specials, kept checking on us, and anticipated our needs. The dirty freaky nasty martini is to die for!! It's dirty martini with truffle and blue cheese olives hands down best martini ever!!! Once again the pasta here is not anything special did not like either that we tried. The special with truffle tastes like milk sauce. Steaks were great we did the Kansas City strip and Caesar salad also. This is place is def for the drinks, steaks, and vibes. read more

My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary at butchers Block and I would highly recommend this place for celebrations! The ambience was amazing. Everything was decorated for the holidays. There was low lights, candlesticks lit. very rustic vibe. I'm not gonna lie the sides were a bit underwhelming, the mushrooms are cooked in beef tallow so they're a bit. And the mac & cheese was just good but not spectacular. The beef was outstanding! Definitely the star of the show and what you come for at a restaurant like this we got two different cuts of steak and one was dry aged, which had a more earthier taste than the non-dried age steak. It was almost 4 pounds of meat and we could not finish it obviously so we took the rest home and even as leftovers they were still amazing. The mock tails that they had here were amazing even the sparkling mineral water. I want to figure out where they get it sourced from because it was so good! We were so full from dinner that we just had dessert, coffee, and the affogato was the perfect pairing for this dinner. They used a nutty, vanilla gelato and poured two shots of espresso over it, and it was another highlight of the dinner for me. Honestly, the only reason I would come back here would be for the steak and the staff. Immensely accommodating go above and beyond for you. We had placed a late order of truffle fries, and they brought it as an appetizer for us and for some reason, they brought us a second tray of fries for completely free. The waiter said that there was a mistake that was made, and he just wanted to rectify it for us not only that he gave us our coffee and dessert for free for our anniversary which I just thought was a thoughtful gesture. They also clean up and pack up the food for you so you don't have to get your hands dirty at all whatsoever. I don't think there was a time that my glass of water wasn't full to the brim because they were always coming to check up on us and fill up our glasses. Honestly, an amazing experience and I would be excited to try other options that they have on their menu! read more

I'd heard so much about The Butcher's Block and how tough it can be to get a reservation, so you can imagine my excitement when I snagged a lunch reservation on my birthday! First off, the space is gorgeous, modern, rustic, and beautifully designed. Even the merch is great; my husband ended up buying a hat because it was that cool. We started with three appetizers: the meatballs, the spicy rigatoni and the calamari. They were okay, nothing particularly special, but the star of the show was definitely the 45-day dry-aged porterhouse. It was absolute perfection and ideal for sharing. We paired it with a side of Brussels sprouts, which were also really good. The drinks were a bit on the stronger side for my taste, so I didn't enjoy them as much, but we ended the meal with the tiramisu and it was delicious, light, creamy, and the perfect finish. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try another cut of steak and would probably skip the appetizers next time. I'd also love to check out the outdoor area in the summer. Make sure to make a reservation before you go, and enjoy! read more

this is truly the coolest restaurant I've ever been to. we went for lunch and shared some plates. Cacio e pepe was exactly perfect; I ate every bite. the caesar salad was huge, would serve 5+ people. The brussel sprouts ughhhh so yummy, hint of spice and the captain crunch was weirdly perfect with it. lastly, the drink I had, apple and cinnamon cocktail was incredible- I could have had 10 of them haha But the coolest part of this restaurant was the interior and exterior. They have multiple parrots inside!!! So cool. the outdoor space was also gorgeous. and our waiter was super knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant too, he answered all our questions:) I would love to come back for dinner - I need to try the mac and cheese! And for my meat eaters I was with, they loved their meals. read more

Went last night. Service was great food was good ambiance was loud. Why must restaurants have loud music playing to the point that you can't have a conversation. The prices were a little much but it was packed, so people are paying. I won't be returning anytime soon and it has nothing to do with the price it has to do with the comfort of going out for a nice dinner and being in a loud environment. read more

My first dining experience at The Butcher's Block was top notch! Before I even get to the highlights of my meal, I have to mention the ambience when dining. There's an open bar and beautiful outdoor seating. The inside is intimate with lots of candles. My friend and I ate outside. We were impressed with our server. He knew such detail about every cut of meat, entree, and drink from the front to the back of the menu. We stopped by the butcher who also explained all of the cuts of meat that were on the menu. This was incredibly helpful because we had an opportunity to see the portion size before ordering. We were also given background information about the preparation behind each cut. Our meal was divine from start to finish. We shared the sausage, peppers, broccoli rabe, and potatoes. There was a nice combination of sweet and hot sausage. The potatoes were extra crisp. Next, we shared the homemade spicy rig, which was cooked al dente. The spinalis steak had such a buttery texture and was cooked medium. We loved it! Perfect to share if you want a smaller portion. Lastly, we finished our meal with a pistachio cake with cream cheese frosting and espresso martinis. Our cocktails were flavorful and impressively garnished. Can't wait to come back and experience more of the menu! read more

My wife made a reservation here to celebrate our anniversary with our daughters and Son-in Laws (party of 6) last night. She was surprised we were able to get a reservation just a week out. What we didn't realize was that the reservation was for the "Live Fire Series" a new concept at The Block...as described on their website.... Live Fire Series For the month of August we are going to introduce a series of dinner events using our live fire grills only. Our goal is to create an outdoor space that transports you and gives a true dining experience that focuses on something unique. It will be a prix fixe menu, served family style in a beautiful casual setting outdoors only (**Weather Permitting**) We welcome you to bring your own but all guests will have full bar access. What a great evening this was! Last night was a beautiful evening, perfect for outdoor dining. We were seated at a picnic table (all seats were these) right by the outdoor "kitchen" area and had a ringside view of the amazing chefs and fire works! Our server Matt was awesome and explained the fixed menu and took our drink orders promptly (and we did bring our own bottle as well) as were enjoyed passed around crudités served by the many waiters and staff. The courses were all amazing (see menu copy in photos below). Two platters of every course were placed on our table to enjoy. We were not rushed and could ask for more at any time. Also, bottles of Saratoga Still water were placed on the tables and we were able to order as many bottles as we wanted (included in the fixed price). The only 2 complaints that we had were that many items were salty. Matt explained that they do use salt to bring out the flavor of their foods (vegetables, meats, sides etc.) instead of heavy sauces. Also, the steak was served a bit on the rare side. He explained that many preferred this level but they did accommodate us by cooking it to a more medium doneness. Everything was delicious and plentiful! Don't skip the homemade Cole slaw which was awesome! One of the owners greeted us at our table and explained the new concept to us and thanked us for trying. I thought service was a bit inconsistent. We had to ask for our lamb chops-they forgot us, and had to ask a few times for ice and sodas The meal ended with desserts served family style. Delicious crepes filled with caramel and topped with homemade shlag (whipped cream) and grilled pineapple topped with ice cream. Wow, what a meal and what a great vibe! I would definitely recommend trying this concept before it ends. Hopefully they can keep it going past August, weather permitting! read more

This was an incredible dining experience and this is coming from a vegetarian! This beautiful place tucked in a random location by a train yard transports you to what feels like a meat island paradise! The outside was beautiful that comes along with a fountain and patio. The inside is really nice that also has a nice little bar, a meat viewing area of both the raw meat and the cooking of it. The drinks and food were amazing with the tomahawk stealing the show. The group got a 3.5 pound steak and the entire group was in a state of heaven with it. Everyone was so happy! The rest of the food was good too, from the Cacio e Pepe to the Cap'n Crunch Brussels sprouts to the spicy sausage, everything was cooked to perfection. The cocktails they had as well as the wines on the list perfectly complimented the meal throughout. The service was fantastic and very attentive. From the hosts, to the servers, to the food runners, everyone was amazing. One note, every server seemed like they were a model which really stood out to our group. The main "downside" is the price as it is a lot but it is totally worth it for a special occasion. The bathroom situation was weird, especially the men's, as there is a guy to hand you towels and he was directly facing the urinal. Also, when we took to go our food, they take the containers to the back and we noticed some meat was not included in the packaging. Overall, I definitely recommend coming here at least once for the entire experience, notably if you are a meat lover! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner. Really nice ambiance. Wonderful service, but we were sat in a room with a few large tables so it was loud and a little chaotic but we still enjoyed. 3 of us shared the tuna crudo appetizer served over crispy rice & cucumber with a small jalapeño slice on each--it was amazing, a very large porterhouse steak which was to die for, wood fired Cauliflower, & spicy casarecce. Everything was so good. We finished off with strawberry cheesecake & unbelievable crème brûlée. So good. If you're sharing steak, ask for "family style" and they'll have it sent out all cut up for you. Would definitely come back! read more

The Butcher's Block - The most Amazing restaurant anywhere! - Butcher Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

Recently visited The Butcher's Block for my anniversary and we had the best dining experience! From the time we entered the restaurant until we left the customer service was excellent. This was my first time here so I wasn't sure what to expect. We were greeted immediately and once we said it was our anniversary everyone made it feel so special and greeted us. It's just those little things! So after checking in were shown all the meat selections and given a brief run down. It was nice to see and get the explanation of their selection of beef. Once we were seated Sophia was our waitress and she was wonderful. She brought us a glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary which was sweet and told us all the specials. We placed our drink orders and my fiance ordered an old fashioned which he enjoyed. And I had picked the moving principle. My drink was good and it was very light and refreshing. For appetizers we started with the meatballs. The meatballs were topped with ricotta and sauce and served with grilled sliced bread. This was delicious! I forgot to mention they had also brought out their cheese bread which was so good! A short time later, our entree was brought out. We had went with the ribeye and for sides we selected the block bolo and crispy potatoes. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and had a nice sear on the outside. They mentioned that the only salt the steak and no butter is added. And it def does make a difference! It was delicious and melted in your mouth. The block bolo was their house made pasta in their bolognese sauce. It was soo good as everyone recommended to get a pasta! No regrets there! The potatoes were nice and crisp. Everything tasted great! And of course we had leftovers. We ended our meal with dessert and shared the churro bowl with Dulce de leche ice cream and a strawberry cheesecake and a cappuccino for me. I have no words for the churro bowl....it was divine! If you must get a dessert....get the churro bowl! I loved the little candle on our dessert. It was a nice touch. Overall a wonderful experience! The customer service was great all around. If you are looking for a romantic dinner or somewhere to go for a special occasion this is it! The food is wonderful and great quality and fairly priced for a steakhouse. I will definitely be back again. read more

I finally got a chance to try this place after all these years . I remember the first time me and my husband tried to eat here they were tiny spot and it was hard to get in here ! I was completely mesmerized by how big the place has grown and how beautiful the space has become . They have this beautiful rustic look about them and the decor for the fall season looked amazing. They have a large amount of seating areas throughout the restaurant with several bar areas . The outside bar is a wonderful gathering area especially great for the warmer months . Service was amazing the staff were dressed comfortable so gave a more at home feeling even though some guest are dressed to the nines . Staff were very attentive and suggestive of menu items . Everything we chose to eat for the night was delicious between the appetizers and the steak ! They offer nightly specials which all sounded delicious. We tried the charred oysters and tuna crispy rice ( delicious) . We ordered the bone in dry aged steak medium rare which we shared it was cooked to perfection along with asparagus and crispy fingerling potatoes ( heaven ) . For dessert we ordered the churro bowl ( holy cow that thing was delicious and huge. Also the Banana bread which was okay . I was originally told it was banana bread pudding but when it was served it definitely was banana bread it was okay but the churro bowl more than made up for it . This place is definitely a place to try for dinner and some cocktails. Thanks for a wonderful Birthday celebration! read more

Very underwhelming experience, especially for the price. The food was just okay, and there are far better restaurants at this price point. Nothing we had justified the hype. To make it worse, this isn't even a place you can walk into--we had to make a reservation months in advance, only to be completely disappointed. Expectations were high because of how hard it is to get a table, and the experience didn't come close to matching that buildup. We went here to celebrate a birthday, and it wasn't acknowledged at all--not even a simple "happy birthday." For a restaurant charging these prices, that lack of basic hospitality is unacceptable. Management should consider something as simple as generic birthday cards or a small gesture to make guests feel recognized. Service timing was poor. We had our drinks and appetizer, then the bread was dropped off with the comment, "I had to fight for the bread for you," which felt unprofessional. Our sides arrived first, and then we waited another 10 minutes before our steaks were served. Completely disorganized pacing. The decor is nice, but the restaurant is extremely loud, and the overall atmosphere caters to a snotty, see-and-be-seen crowd. It feels more like a place to take pictures than to enjoy a quality meal. We spent over $700, and on top of that were charged an additional 3% fee just to pay with a credit card. At this price level, that feels excessive and leaves a bad final impression. The only positive was the bus staff, who were attentive and did a great job. Overall, not worth the hype, not worth the price, and definitely not worth planning months in advance read more

My family of 4 (2 teens) had a great time here for dinner. I think it's worth noting that we had a 5pm reservation on a Wednesday. The restaurant opens at 5 and we were the 2nd table to arrive. They have free valet parking onsite, although I did see people parking on the street. Ambiance, service, food...This place checks all of the boxes and I can easily understand why multiple people have said that this is their favorite restaurant. The ambience/layout of the restaurant is like no other that I have seen in this area. The majority of the restaurant is actually outdoors giving the feeling of a rustic patio in Tuscany. It was 80 degrees when we visited, but even in cooler temps there are fireplaces and overhead heaters. When I made my reservation, I requested to be seated outside. In reality, there are about 5-7 different areas (inside & outside) where you could sit. Even if you just want to come for drinks, there are multiple bars (2 outside). Really great vibe. I can imagine it's even better at night. Service was 5-star, but not the usual high end wait staff. Servers were cool, laid back, relaxed and you felt like you were speaking with "Friends". Our main server was very knowledgeable of the cocktails, food menu and specials. The Block's menu is not on their website, so I've attached the summer 2025 edition. They change it 4 times a year (cocktail menu too). The food was very, very good! Portions were impressively large. Some of the highlights: - Halibut over lobster risotto - Brussels sprouts - Caesar salad - Spicy rig The food came out unbelievably fast. Like really really fast. Hot, fresh, flavorful. My wife immediately said "We ordered too much food." For the first seating on a Wednesday night, I had no issue getting a reservation. Primetime on a Friday or Saturday is a completely different story. Because of this, they offer you the opportunity to make your next reservation while you are onsite. Great feature which keeps you coming back. The Block is a little pricey, but all things considered, it should be expected and the value is there. It's a high end staple for the Jersey Shore and a quality steakhouse 4 blocks from the beach. You should absolutely go and my family be will be returning. read more

Great food, strive, and ambience. It is our go to restaurant for higher end experience. Can't say enough great things about the staff in particular.

The Butcher's Block is a nicely decorated butcher shop and restaurant in Long Branch. I had a reservation at 7pm but was seated at around 7:50pm on a Tuesday. They might have been short staffed but that's still a significant wait time with a reservation. Furthermore, the steak came out a couple minutes before the sides and the waiter did not come back to ask if everything was up to par. Regardless of the service, the food was delicious. The sausage appetizer was well balanced with delicious potatoes and sausages. The steak was seasoned to perfection and the Brussels sprouts were amazing. Captain Crunch Brussels sprouts was an intriguing combination but it worked. Their mashed potatoes were great and paired well with a delicious beef gravy. That being said the food was great but the service was lackluster. read more

This restaurant should definitely be on your list if you live in NJ or are visiting. We live about 2 hours away but we came here last Friday to celebrate a birthday and it was totally worth the experience. The ambiance is gorgeous. The lights outside and decor makes the place feel so magical, I felt like I was back in Italy. The hostess was so friendly and organized, she was dealing with a tough customer but kept her cool the entire time, I was amazed. We had a reservation for 7:45, and they had us go to the bar to wait until our table was ready. It was a nice way to pass time since we didn't get seated until 8:20. The bread is something you HAVE to try and you will want to fill up on it but don't! there is so many good things to try. We ordered the porterhouse for 2, the Brussels sprouts , spicy rig, and au gratin potatoes . Everything was so delicious, there wasn't one thing I didn't like. The steak was cooked to perfection. We needed the night with their churro bowl and it was so yummy. Can't wait to come back! read more

We got drinks at the outdoor bar while we were waiting for our table. The outdoor spot had multiple heaters setup so it wasn't too cold. We headed inside once our table was ready. We ordered some steak and Brussels sprouts, both of which were exceptional. One of the best steaks I've had. Other than the food, the service was what made the night stand out.

One of my new favorites on the Jersey Shore! Butchers block in Long Branch is a phenomenal Italian Steakhouse definitely worth the hype! Came here for a double date night and we had such a fun time! The atmosphere is so moody and great for a night out. When we first arrived we got to have a drink in their outdoor patio which was decorated beautifully for Christmas and had a great vibe. I was quite literally OBSESSED with my espresso martini. One of the best I've ever had. After we finished our drinks we were brought to the Block Shop where they show you the different cuts of steak they have available for the evening! They also gave us a sample of a red pairing and some charcuterie that we were able to make a plate of to bring to our seat! The service was excellent, our server Brandon was so helpful when it came to navigating their extensive menu! Truthfully so many delicious choices. We did narrow it down to the ricotta squash bruschetta, meatballs, spicy vodka rigatoni, cacio e pepe and the rib eye. My favorites were the meatballs, cacio e Pepe and the rib eye but everything was truly so so good! I cannot wait to come back and try more menu items! Absolutely loved it! 11/10 would recommend!

The good: The food was outstanding. I had the Kansas City Strip, which was excellent--truly one of the highlights of the meal. Other standouts were the Brussels sprouts and the pasta cacio e pepe, both of which were terrific. Where it fell short: The service wasn't poor in terms of friendliness or wait times, but there were some misses that stood out given the caliber of the restaurant. For a group of this size, sides should be served with separate serving utensils so guests can help themselves, rather than having to use previously used spoons. Additionally, I ordered a baked potato, which I was told could be done, but it never arrived. The same was true for a simple fruit request that was acknowledged but never delivered. Overall: Great atmosphere and excellent food, but there is room for improvement on the service side--particularly in follow-through and attention to detail for larger parties. read more

Food was outrageous. Starting with the parmesean covered bread, to amazing steak (32oz porterhouse perfectly cooked) and an excellent Mac and cheese that is not "fancied" up with truffle or lobster.

This has been on my bucket list for awhile and finally got to come to celebrate my birthday. Definitely one of the most expensive restaurants I've been to but the food, service, ambiance all top notch!! The experience was worth it!! For starters, we had the calamari which was very light crispy, not rubbery at all with a very spicy sauce that had a a good kick to it. For dinner, we ordered the porterhouse steak. It was cooked to perfection and it just melt in your mouth! The other couple ordered the ribeye and they also enjoyed it very much. For sides dish we had the brussels sprouts. Which had some sweetness and a little crunch to it which is actually top with captain crunch. For dessert we had blueberry cheesecake bread pudding so delicious! Also the churros bowl. They put a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday. Our server was Brandon. He was amazing! Gave us a full explanation of all the different types of meats and recommendations what to get. He was very friendly and great conversations. Service was time properly. There was no rush us to leave. Looking forward to coming back in the summer! Don't miss this gem! read more

The Butcher's Block - Butcher Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

I took my husband here for our 10th wedding anniversary (after seeing Mike "The Situation" from the Jersey Shore have a baptism celebration here) because I was particularly drawn to the chandeliers, the reviews were great, and my husband loves his meats! We ordered the best steak on the menu, the wagyu, and it was seriously the best I've ever had! I literally woke up the next morning and had it for breakfast because I couldn't wait to eat it again and I've never done that before! I don't drink alcohol, so I was amazingly impressed by their mocktail skills. The Brussel sprouts were SO delish and other food was excellent. We didn't order dessert, since I brought a cake, and I was surprised that the staff was so nice and cut it up for us. The server was super nice and I just loved the ambiance. The meal was a major splurge, so hoping to come back one day for another special celebration! Can't wait!

Delicious!! Definitely recommend!! Their menu is overwhelming perfect in selection! Their steaks are BIG, and yes pricey BUT oh so tasty (PorterHouse is mouth watering!!) !! Their sides are also potent in delicious flavors (mashed and Brussels are on point!). The drinks were great as well, good selection and pretty strong :) We had reservations and were sat down right away, quick and friendly service from the hostess and waiters. Great recommendations from our waiter (unfortunately forgot his name). Its is a dim lit environment and pretty noisy I must say!
