Today’s lunch adventure brought us to Mel’s Butcher Box up in Tenafly. We decided on a burger and cheese steak along with some fantastic mozzarella hammer handles because the were huge and delicious. The burger and The cheesesteak we’re both very fresh and we’re just as good as previous reviews .

I attended an 18-birthday party at Mel’s and they handled it wonderfully! Boy the location and the physical layout (inside/outside) were ideal for a summer get together.

The staff were super nice and the atmosphere had a chill yet fun vibe about it. The food was not only good, but you could tell everything was fresh. We were even talking about how good the bread was. We tried the sliders, cheese steak, double burger, onion rings, fried ravioli, and pretzel. The fresh potato chips were a pleasant surprise add on that everyone couldn’t stop eating. Definitely worth a visit.

The hamburgers are excellent, as are their milkshakes. Yum! The best part about this place is the owners. The first time we went they gave my son a cookie for free and my daughter a Rice Krispie treat. They are friendly and fun. Great place to stop in for a quick bite. Support local!

Cool little spot. They have an old school juke box and pin ball machines. The mozzarella sticks were unlike any other mozzarella stick I’ve had, definitely worth a try- didn’t love the vodka sauce that came with it.

I stopped here one day after work. Friends of mine had recommended it so I wanted to try it out. I was greeted quickly after entering and placed my order right away. I sat down and waited as I ordered the food to go. It wasn’t long before they brought my order out to me. I ordered the 10 West and also onion rings. The burger was excellent. The bread was good, the lettuce was fresh and the bacon was crispy. The burger was cooked how I ordered it. The onion rings were also very good. They were cooked perfectly.

5 star for quality of food. 3 star for price. We ordered steak fritas but substituted with sweet potatoes fries. A Caesar salad and a tomahawk ribeye steak. It’s not on the menu, but it was in the cooler so I asked if they could make it and they did. All the food was delicious. The steak fritas had a somewhat sweet marinade, but not overly. Fries were crispy outside and soft inside. I would have preferred the steak fritas served European style in multiple servings so the steak stays hot and the fries stay crispy. Salad was typical but a little over dressed. The tomahawk was cooked just right. It was seasoned with rosemary. They must have a hot grill or oven because the outside was chared perfect while the inside was medium rare. The tomahawk was served with fries that were cut unique. The were cut long and also flat and wide. Seems to stay more crispy and makes it perfect for dipping and scooping sauce. Food is served like a bar b que joint on metal trays with plastic forks and knives. Even the steak fritas was served on a small paper / cardboard tray. Soda is served in the small coke bottles. Very pricey for 6 oz of soda. I know it’s all part of the motif, but for the price we paid, I’d prefer metal silverware and a larger drink. Though the food was very good, the price makes it unappealing. I may take out of town guest there for the novelty. I’ll stick to one of the numerous local steak joints in the neighborhood where you get sit down service at the table..

I am a very regular customer here. The food is great and the two sisters that own this restaurant are as nice as could be. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

I had the Brooklyn’s Best and my sister had the Butcher’s Box burger and we got the sourdough pretzel. It was all really good and we’re definitely coming back!
