Double-smoked beef burnt ends, ribs, and quality sourcing
"The longtime Astoria go-to for Texas and Kansas City-style barbecue (the candy-like double-smoked beef burnt ends have a viral following), Butcher Bar has a small sidewalk seating area at the heart of the action. The space is separated by the street by wooden barrels and has a Southern vibe." - Shivani Vora
"Butcher Bar has five dollar cocktails for delivery. That should be enough to convince you, but in case you need more reasons to order takeout from this barbecue spot, the burnt ends (they call them “meat candy”) are addictive." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Butcher Bar makes some of our favorite burnt ends in the city, and that’s exactly what you should be ordering here when you stop by for outdoor dining. They’re little chunks of charred brisket that are both sweet and salty - and we would eat a whole bucket of them if we knew for certain that it wouldn’t adversely affect our health. Butcher Bar also has slushies available for pick-up, delivery, or outdoor dining. Just something to think about." - hannah albertine
"Barbecue restaurant Butcher Bar has closed its Lower East Side location, but is still open in Astoria." - Stefanie Tuder
"You go to Butcher Bar for the burnt ends. They’re little chunks of charred brisket, and they’re both sweet and salty - and we would eat a whole bucket of them if we knew for certain that it wouldn’t adversely affect our health. There’s also a bunch of other barbecue here, but we wouldn’t say it’s the best in the area (that would probably be Salt & Bone). As for the space itself, it sort of feels like a southern-themed restaurant you’d find in a nice airport." - Bryan Kim
