The Butchers Block - Long Branch

Peter was our server and he was terrific. He made excellent recommendations and the food was exquisite. The cocktails were excellent as well. The service, food and ambiance are top notch. We were very happy to be seated outside as it does seem to be very tight inside. My only negative feedback for the food would be that the bacon side dish is way too sweet.

Great food. Worth the price. Top notch. Great service. Love the rustic feel to the atmosphere. Porter house was a must. There are too many options for just one visit. Definitely met the hype.

Tonight I came here for a spontaneous dinner date. It was great. The highlight appetizer would be the recommended sausage and potatoes. The first drink pictured was great and smooth. As our entrees, the pasta we got was pasta bolognese (pictured) and spicy rigatoni. I highly recommend the pasta bolognese as it is one of the best pastas I’ve had in the U.S. FYI, it is cooked al dente but that’s what makes it great. The steak was cooked medium and was juicy and well enough for two. The highlight drink of the night was definitely the fresh espresso martini. And to finish it all, the churro bowl was great. Overall, I will be recommending this place to friends and family and our server was amazing and attentive!

From start to finish, everything about The Block was unbelievable…service, ambiance, and the food was some of the best I’ve ever had. Our family has been to steak houses all over NJ, NY, and California and The Block hands down trumps them all. Absolutely amazing birthday dinner and cannot wait to come back!

Definitely a very special experience. When you enter you go into a meat locker where each cut was explained. Our waiter was helpful in making sure we were ordering the right amount of food and wouldn’t be leaving hungry wince we were overwhelmed with the different cuts and pricing. Definitely on the more expensive side, but a perfect place for a nice occasion. Brussel sprouts were outrageously good.
