My Honest Opinion About The Butcher's Block In Long Branch

A few weeks ago, I put together a list of 10 Jersey Shore restaurants that I still need to eat at. Beloved eateries like Grandma's Meatballs in Manasquan and Anjelica's in Sea Bright are on the list. One of the top suggested spots on the list was The Butcher's Block in Long Branch, New Jersey.

People literally go crazy for this place. Many will say that they offer the best steak not only at the Jersey Shore, but in all of New Jersey. The reviews are incredible, and somehow someway my girlfriend was able to make reservations for six. The other night It was me, my girlfriend, my cousin, his fiancé, my best friend and his girlfriend. For all six of us, it was our first time ever eating at The Butcher's Block...

It's pretty simple, The Butcher's Block is incredible. I am giving this Monmouth County restaurant 5 solid stars. First, the newly renovated building is fantastic inside and out. The ambiance is top of the line. Before even talking about the food, I want to give a shoutout to The Butcher Block workers. It was one of the best dining experiences I ever had. The service was incredible, you can really see that the workers take pride in what they do.

Now the food, to be honest, I don't even know where to start. For appetizers we got the steak tartare, margherita pizza, and a Caeser salad. All of the starters were tremendous, but I think the best thing was the wagyu rigatoni Bolognese. Good god almighty, it was easily the best Bolognese I ever had.

After that we got a couple of steaks. We ordered the wagyu tomahawk and the ribeye. Just two steaks, but they are so big that they can easily feed a hungry table of six. Hands down some of the best steaks I ever had. I think I would have asked for it to be cooked a little more next time, but I know I know, that would be insulting. All in all, an A+ meal.

The Butcher's Block is located at 235 West Ave, Long Branch, NJ 07740. I highly recommend you trying to get reservations for a special night out. Is it expensive? Yes, but it's totally worth it! The six of us already made reservations to go back in September. I can't wait!! SEE YOU THERE.
