Honest Meat from Responsible Farms

From Local Farms
to Your Table

At Butcher Bar, we believe you should know where your meat comes from. That’s why we work directly with small, sustainable farms that raise their animals the right way — naturally, humanely, and without shortcuts. Real farms. Real people. Real meat.

Our mission is simple: connect our customers to honest food and support the growing movement toward healthier eating and responsible farming. When you eat here, you’re not just getting great BBQ — you’re supporting farmers who care about quality, sustainability, and doing things the right way.

We proudly serve locally sourced 100% grass-fed and grass-fed/organic grain-finished beef, organic chicken, heritage-breed pork, and other traditional butcher-quality meats. Everything is feedlot-free and raised without hormones, antibiotics, or animal by-products.

Butcher Bar is more than a BBQ spot — we’re purveyors of a unique selection of artisanal meats and fine organic products built for people who care about flavor, quality, and where their food comes from.

Tara Mcdonnell

"This is my favorite type of restaurant in the U.S. It reminded me of ‘Green Street Smoked Meats’ in Chicago, and I was satisfied not only with the taste but also with the price and portion size."

JinYong Yoo

"I finally got to try Butcher Bar in Astoria, and wow—it totally lived up to the hype. The Infamous Meat Candy burnt ends were insane. Seriously, probably the best I’ve ever had. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and packed with flavor. "

Valentina Guerra

"The staff is friendly, and attentive. The menu prices, are very reasonable. It wasn't crowded, and I got my food kinda fast. The Meat Candy Burnt Ends are a popular choice for appetizer. It definitely tasted better with the sauce. I was suprised at how good the creamy Mac & Cheese were."

Priestly Canty

"Food was so good and flavorful! Had the Monster 50/50! Fast service. Great staff. Indoor and outdoor dinning available! Very clean bathroom..Hugh plus! Even a great simple desserts menu. I'm definitely coming back. Also have a weekend brunch menu that I want to try!!"

M S C

"This spot is one of my regulars. Had the opportunity to bring some co-workers here recently, and they LOVED it! The meats are superb. The meat candy beef burnt end sandwich is always my go to, but you really can't go wrong with whatever you get."

Authentic BBQ & Southern Hospitality

#1 BBQ Restaurant in Queens, NY!

Our friendly staff and authentic atmosphere will excite your senses and deliver one of the best barbecue experiences in New York City.

Back in October 2014, we opened what we proudly call the “Smoke House.” After three years of serving our BBQ out of our original butcher shop, our loyal fans and neighborhood regulars kept telling us the same thing — you need a bigger place. We listened. So we expanded right next door and built a space dedicated to great food, great drinks, and the kind of laid-back vibe that real BBQ deserves.

The Smoke House was custom designed to bring together everything we love about barbecue culture. Inside you’ll find a full bar stocked with an impressive selection of Bourbon, Whiskey, and Moonshine, along with a rotating lineup of carefully selected craft beers that pair perfectly with slow-smoked meats.

But the space itself has a story too. The bar and all of our tables were built using reclaimed red and white cedar wood from a dismantled water tower in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, giving the room a character you simply can’t recreate with new materials. The rest of the restaurant follows a philosophy we live by: “Reclaim, Reuse, Restore.” Many of the materials used throughout the space were sourced from our friends at Build It Green, right here in Astoria, helping us create a place that reflects the community and the spirit of the neighborhood.

The result is a warm, rustic Smoke House where great food, great drinks, and great company come together. Whether you're stopping in for slow-smoked BBQ, a glass of bourbon, or a night out with friends, you’ll feel right at home the moment you walk through the door.
