Mel is sooo cool! She is so nice and provided us with great customer service from the moment we walked through the doors.
The smash burger was the best smash burger I've had in a very long time. We also had the ribeye steak sandwich which was great but the smash burger was the star of the show.

We just came home from a party that we had Mels cater for us. I cannot tell you how absolutely amazing it was. We started with the most amazing homemade chips and dips and guacamole and then the food just got better and better! Cheesesteak egg rolls, sliders, chicken sandwiches, hotdogs, tater tots, bacon on a stick, salad, mac and cheese and more! The deserts - brownies, cookies cupcakes yumm!!! People are texting me about how amazing it was! Run don’t walk to the restaurant and definitely consider them for your next party!!!

I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with a side of sweet potato fries. It was delicious. There was also a pinball machine. That I used. To help pass the time while waiting for my order.

This was my first time trying Mel’s Butcher box and I’ll definitely be back! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a chocolate milkshake and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was absolutely amazing!
Came here for the first time and I definitely will be back. The burger, fries and mozzarella stick were very good and saved the best for last the strawberry shake was delicious. The owner was also very nice.

Ordered from Uber eats. Very good!! Fresh. The owner uses good Italian bread! I'm Italian so I appreciate good bread. You never get sandwiches on good bread anymore. This is our 2nd time ordering. 1st time we had burgers and this time my husband got the roast pork and I had the crispy chicken. Will continue to order.

The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the burger was absolutely delicious. I tried the double cheeseburger, and the quality of the beef really stood out—fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. A fantastic experience overall, and I’ll definitely be coming back

EAT AT MEL'S BUTCHER BOX NOW... YOU WILL THANK ME!
If you’re looking for the PERFECT place to host a private event—or just want the BEST burger, milkshake, and onion rings of your life—go to Mel’s Butcher Block in Tenafly. Full stop.
We recently celebrated my son’s graduation here, and I can’t say enough about how amazing the experience was. Mel and her sister, Gina, went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. We rented the entire place for a Friday night party with 20–25 food-loving guests, and every single one of them was raving and highly impressed – and these are foodies, (from - NYC, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Long Island, Greenwich, Philly, Chicago, Maine, Vermont, Miami, Guatemala, Romania, Israel and Egypt); all BLOWN AWAY.
The food? Absolutely off the charts. - Perfectly cooked hamburgers, cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches - Creamy, fresh Caesar salad and mac & cheese - To-die-for onion rings - Killer fries and even potato skins that were a surprise hit - And the star: a jaw-dropping Tomahawk steak with my son’s name and “Class of 2025” etched into the bone—an unforgettable touch - Do not leave without a milkshake – they are off the charts
Beyond the food, Mel is simply the best. She was responsive, creative, thoughtful, and a joy to work with. She helped plan the menu, presentation, and even set up music and decorations. She made my son feel like a star, and that meant the world to us. My nieces and nephews loved the vintage pinball machines, and the whole space had the perfect energy—cozy but vibrant. Gina was outstanding too – constantly making sure everyone felt welcome, well taken care of, and was having a great time. She brought such a warmth fee and energy, ensuring every guest loved the food and felt special.
You can tell Mel loves what she does. She’s passionate, professional, warm, and deeply committed to making people happy through incredible food and a great experience. This place is a gem—whether you’re planning an event or just stopping in for lunch, Mel’s Butcher Block is a 10/10.

I would love to share a beautiful photo but I finished my burger 2-3 minutes after my order arrived so I could only take this photo. You can see other great burgers when you go there. Mel is an incredible person and I order from her at least 3 times a week. Definitely the best in the area.

The food was average. The mozzarella sticks had a nice crunch to them, and the vodka sauce that came on the side was a good take instead of the typical marinara sauce.
I ordered the cheesesteak with the steak sauce aioli on the side. I am very particular with sauce, especially when it comes to steak. I tried the aioli, which was a little sweet to my liking & maybe had ketchup mixed into it that I wasn't a fan of. So already two sweet components that wouldn't go well with the caramelized onions. So that's 3 sweet factors. The steak itself was a bit dry and not juicy. The bread they used was ok. Didn't have the crunchy exterior with the soft fluffy interior I would've liked.
Mozzarella sticks: 6/10 0

Wife was there sent me a text with the menu. I never ate there, I figured let me make it tough. I ordered a Cuban sandwich, she got home, let me tell ya. Hot pressed fresh pork and ham all the fixings on that sandwich it was REAL DEAL GOOD. I've had Cuban sandwiches from all over. That was the best. In the pic usually there's nothing left at the back of a cubano , this baby still rocking to last bite
Steak frites was awesome 👏
