Butcher Block

Quick speedy delivery. I ordered the hungry man box, with salmon, sweet potato head, artichokes and carrots as a side. It was a great healthy/​tasty meal! Will definitely order from here again!

worse sushi, its not even sushi. go to a real sushi place.

They never sent my order. Didn’t pick up the phone because by the time I tried call they were closed. Seamless followed up with them the following day after I reached out to their CS team. Butcher block lied and told them that they delivered my order before 10 PM.
An issue with that is that I live 16 – 17 minutes away by car (checked Google maps for distance + travel time) and I placed my order at 9:25 PM. My order had items that required cooking time. Meaning that, according to them, they were able to receive my order at 9:25 PM, prepare my order in 10 minutes, and then have it arrive to my location.
Because of their lie Seamless has declined my request for a refund.
Because of that I waited for a dinner that never arrived.
And now I have to initiate a chargeback with my CC issuer. Thank you, Butcher Block.

Wish I could give 0 stars. My food is over a half hour late and no apologies from the staff

I ordered food at 9:15pm last night, and it never arrived. I called them twice and they never answered their phone. I’d never try ordering from here again.

I did the build-​your-​own sandwich, which lets you pick bread, meat, cheese, sauce, and toppings. They forgot the cheese and sauce, it was just dry meat and toppings on very flat, hard bread. For $ 14 that’s a big disappointment. The side soup was decent, and it was nice they gave us a scoop of free popcorn. But I wouldn’t order here again.

Can’t possibly give this place a good score– It’s delivery only & has the same EXACT address on seamless as Braised, Leafage, Bushwick, Maya Blue and Authentic. I am sure there are others. All listed with the address of 146 East 44^th Street — WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? I ask these places to please explain this to us — Orders beware!

The beet o Bella is the best sandwich! Great flavor, healthy, amazing ciabatta bread, and very fresh

The worst, worst, worst sushi I EVER had… absolutely NO FISH, NO TASTE, and even the rice was bad of which there was a ton. Never, never get sushi from this place.

Ordered at 1:34 PM. Was supposed to arrive at 2:05. At 2:34, I still had no food. Called but no one picked up because they close at 2:30 on Fridays for some reason. Called Seamless. They called the owners who said they have no idea if they sent the order and are unwilling to send it now that they are officially closed. So an hour and a half later, no food. Impressively poor service. Block this butcher.

After thinking it was fishy that this place did not exist other than online I did some research. I just found out this is NOT a real restaurant! It is someone’s kitchen NOT inspected or required to follow any rules and regulations!!! STAY AWAY COOKED OUT OF BASEMENT KITCHEN!!!

HOLY SALT LICK BATMAN!!! I ordered delivery from here and it was super fast. no problems there. The issue was the food. OMG what looked so great on paper, tasted so bad in real life!
Free popcorn — such a cute idea — massively massively salty like burn your lips salty.
Ceaser wrap — #1 Ceaser salad should NEVER EVER be hot. like NO not ever. It isn’t meant to be cooked… romaine cooked. cucumbers warm n’ slimy… yeah it is as disgusting as it sounds. So you get a great wrap, panini pressed with the ingredients of a cesaser salad inside. So bad. Then they add tempeh which was also MASSIVELY SALTY!!! What’s with the salt here folks? It’s almost like their food taster came back from a smoke break tasted everything and went — NEEDS SALT! lol.
I called to ask why they cooked my ceaser wrap. they said — well it’s supposed to be warm… again…it wasn’t warm it was boiled and it was disgusting. But even warm ceaser sounds off putting.
BTW that «side of slaw» is actually just a tiny little condiment plastic cup with a teaspoon of slaw in it! LOL — kinda funny but it was handy in putting into that wrap so i could get it down. i was starving (don’t judge me).
So there went $ 15.00 i should have never spent on a sandwich, but I got sucked in by the descriptions and the idea of tasty goodness.. .. Plus it never mentioned it would come cooked!

I am just another number here, writing about the same problem. DELIVERY TIME IS AWFUL!
I ordered food at 10.46am for a 12pm meeting. The estimated delivery time on my order was 11.10−11.20am. The food did not arrive until 12.20pm.
Very unhappy with the service i received. Called numerous times and received different answers every time. Every time the delivery guy was 5 minutes away. I started calling at 11.30am.
The food is mediocre, cannot say that i liked anything i tried here.
Save your time and money and skip this place.

It’s one thing to screw up someone’s order or deliver it WAY later than the promised time. It’s quite another to keep the customer on hold for 13 minutes while they «try to find the delivery guy» to find out the status of the delivery order. I called to find out where my lunch was a full hour after they promised to deliver it and I was treated to a 13 minute concert of the worst hold music and advertisements a half-​assed business can buy. This was only accented by the manager’s inability to find said delivery guy and ultimately give me no real option other than «We’ll call you back when I know it’s coming…» How about apologizing for how freaking late they are to begin with. Do NOT order from this place. Do NOT expect any kind of decent delivery time. How’s the food? Still can’t tell you… I’m still waiting…

Unless you’re looking to spend an excessive amount of money on not so great food that attempts a trendy vibe, I’d recommend staying away from Butcher Block (along with their sister companies Leafage, Maya Blue, etc). I’ve ordered from here a few times due to a limited selection of options on my company’s seamless list and have been disappointed every time.
For example, today I got the Fried Chicken Cobbit salad. The best part about the salad was the chicken being so tough that cutting it took enough effort that I didn’t feel as bad about missing the gym this morning. Not only was the chicken overcooked and likely sitting in a refrigerator for a couple days, but they also barely included any. All the other ingredients aside from lettuce were also skimpy.
This place reeks of trying to capitalize on current food trends and going heavy on the marketing/​packaging side, while under delivering on the actual food. All while overcharging. Stay clear.

THE ONLY THING THEY BUTCHER IS YOUR ORDER!!!
I am giving this place 1 star which I feel is more than fair. My boyfriend ordered from Butcher Block a month ago for clients for lunch. Everything was really good he said, so we decided to order it from dinner one day. The menu looked awesome.
When it arrived, it was 45 late and it was ice cold. It didn’t take very good at all, except for the habanero corn. I figured we caught them on an off night.
Tonight we tried again. I ordered at 7:15 (devilery estimate was 25 – 40 min) and it arrived at 8:15. All three places had some error. Mine did came with corn, but not the habanero corn. The salad said no beans but came with bean. We ordered another plate with chicken but didn’t get the chicken! On top of all of this, this was all ice cold, AGAIN!
I called back immediately and spent 10 minutes on the phone explaining to the guy what was wrong. When he finally seemed to understand, he told me it would be there ASAP. That was over an hour ago and the corrected order is still not here.
I called back and was told they just started making our corrected order. I asked for a manager and waited five minutes to speak to her (Lauren). She began by asking what the problem was and immediately when on the defense, saying that I didn’t complain about not getting the habanero corn, telling me that I said the corn was bad. When I told her that’s not what I said, she got real nasty, arguing with me about what my order was – even though I had the print out on the receipt from Seamless in front of me – and my boyfriend interjected because we were I speaker. She told me that she wasn’t going to be speaking to the both of us and copped a real attitude. He ended up speaking to her and she said she didn’t really know what she could do but she’ll try to refund us for no chicken on one dish. We got off the phone not exactly sure what the was the resolution was. It’s now 9:25 and still no food.
NEVER ORDER from here!!! Waste of time and money.

Wish I had read the Unilocal reviews before ordering from here!
I ordered a salad, which was 45 minutes late and missing the shrimp. I called and the woman answering the phone (very pleasant by the way!) explained that sometimes it can take longer than the estimated delivery because the food needs to be cooked. Well I ordered a salad, and they forgot the shrimp so literally nothing in my order was cooked.
They were very helpful in correcting it and sending another salad. All in all, my food came about 2 hours after the estimated delivery time. It was a decent salad, but by that time I was so starving that anything would’ve tasted good!

Fast delicious delivery service! And yummy popcorn is an added delight! Highly recommend the delicious Beet O’ Bello! And the amazing Chipotle Chicken soup!

I don’t know why people in my office keeps ordering from Butcher Block… the sandwiches here are mediocre at best, and usually way worse than that.
I have tried its Signature Brisket and Beet O’Bello (vegetarian). All sandwiches are made using Balthazar Bakery bread. I have been to Balthazar (both the bakery and the restaurant), and the bread here is quite good — however, the bread that they used at Butcher Block tasted stale and at least a day old.
The Signature Brisket is made with sliced brisket, cheddar, cilantro, green onion, and spinach horseradish aioli on a pressed ciabatta. The ingredients sound awesome, but they are so skimp that you don’t really taste all the flavors that they promise. The brisket was also not tender, but rather coarse and stringy.
The Beet O’Bello is the vegetarian option made with roasted beets, basil and balsamic marinated Portobello caps, goat cheese, arugula, oven roasted tomato, and walnut basil parsley pesto on pressed ciabatta. Again, I found maybe six pieces of beets that tasted like they came out from a can, 2 pieces of tiny portobello caps, and a smear of goat cheese. Would not pay ~$ 15 for these lame sandwiches!

I waited 2 hours and 46 minutes for my sandwich and smoothie. 2 hours and 46 minutes. This is not a flipping whole roasted chicken made to order. It’s just a sandwich. For $ 14 a sandwich and $ 9 a smoothie you’d expect on-​time delivery.
They wouldn’t even let me cancel my order and get a refund after I called at the 2 hours and 29 minutes mark… serious?
Of course, when the order comes, the sandwich not only sucks/​is cold, but IT’S THE WRONG FLIPPING SANDWICH. I ordered guac, not bacon, you fools. Argh.
