I am constantly searching the streets of New York City for meals that push boundaries. When a spot boasts a menu loaded with oozing cheese, sliced hot roast beef, and stacked smash burgers, I drop everything. I knew I had to make the trek to Brooklyn.

Butcher’s Burger is the real deal. Located under the elevated train lines, this place is firing up some of the most intense, flavor packed comfort food creations in the entire borough. The food here is an absolute game-changer. Every item is a masterclass in indulgence.

You cannot walk into this joint without ordering their classic double smash burger. They slap the fresh beef blends right onto a screaming hot flat top grill. They smash them down until the edges get incredibly crispy. Then they rain down a heavy dusting of seasoning.

Look at that sizzle! Once the patties are flipped, they layer on thick slices of American cheese. They stack them up high with a massive pile of sweet, caramelized grilled onions. They slide the whole thing onto a toasted bun dressed with lettuce, tomato, and a massive squeeze of house burger sauce. The result? Incredible. The meat is unbelievably juicy. It delivers pure burger bliss.

Next up was their pizza burger variant. They ladle rich, vibrant red marinara sauce directly over the smashed beef patties. They top it with sliced pepperoni and a blanket of mozzarella cheese. It gets melted right on the grill. They serve it alongside house-made mozzarella sticks dusted with shaved parmesan cheese and extra marinara sauce for dipping. Look at that pull! The cheese stretch is unreal.

Massive Sandwiches and Dripping Sauces

If you love smoked meats, you need to order their ribs. They glaze these pork ribs in a sticky, sweet barbecue sauce. Then they hit it with a heavy ladle of mango habanero sauce for a sweet heat kick. The meat literally falls right off the bone. Elite.

But the real showstoppers are the hero sandwiches. They slow roast an entire top round of beef until it is perfectly rare. They slice it thin on a deli slicer. Then they paint a long hero roll with melted cheese sauce and pile the warm roast beef high.

They pour a heavy ladle of rich, dark au jus gravy directly over the meat before smothering it in even more melted cheese sauce. It is beautifully chaotic. Every bite is a savory explosion.

We finished the feast with their loaded cheesesteak hero. They chop up fresh ribeye on the flat top with grilled onions, sweet red peppers, and mushrooms. They douse the meat in hot cheez whiz. They scoop it into a toasted roll, wrap it tightly, and slice it down the middle. Look at that cross section! They serve it with a pile of freshly fried onion rings. It is an absolute masterpiece.

Brooklyn has no shortage of food options, but Butcher’s Burger is operating on a completely different level. Who is joining me for the next round?
