Williamsburg’s other steakhouse is much less famous than Peter Luger, but it might actually be better. The humble and intimate exposed brick and wood space is welcoming and comfy, while the menu boasts new takes on comfort food of the meaty variety, with dishes like the Ax Handle Rib Eye coming in at 45-65 oz; New York Strip au poivre; Sweet Tea Brined Bobo Chicken; and a Bourbon Brined Pork Porterhouse. Vegetables are expertly prepared with options like Pan-Fried Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli with Ranch, and Long Beans w/ Garlic Butter.

This modest spot grills high-quality meat and fish, all sustainably and ethically sourced, at very reasonable prices. The sides, ordered à la carte, deserve special attention: The spinach gratin is dependably hearty, and the seasonal special of delicata squash with manchego (cheese from sheep’s milk) is divine. Come early or risk a long wait, though you can get a drink from the owners’ bar, Spuyten Duyvil, next door.
