★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Love Beast! The staff is so kind and accommodating. The food is so tasty and addictive. Love everything we’ve ever tried there and always look forward to returning ASAP! Cheers Beast!
October 14 · Brad HollandWe were in new York for pleasure and decided to go out. We found Beast wow!!! Loved the place my wife got the pulled pork sandwich and I got the smoked Peruvian chicken. We both loved our choices. In addition to the great food the Beast restaurant offers a great selection of bourbons. Highly recommend this place.
August 14 · Donatello DolcimascoloWent apple picking and a worker recommended us to eat there.Was blown away by the food and service.I was expecting bar food, I ordered the half Peruvian chicken and was absolutely impressed. Tender Smokey chicken and the ribs were best I’ve ever had. Will be eating there every time I’m in the area. Service was excellent very friendly
October 12 · Chris DuncanFirst time visit! Great little place. My server Morgan was attentive and friendly. They have over 300 types of bourbons and a Bourbon Bible which is amazing (went with Macallan). I had the bao buns (no chiles), which were delicious. The vibe was really nice, the place was buzzing but not overly loud or anything, especially for being a smaller space. There are several seats at the bar and a decent amount of tables. I took the pork belly sandwich (no carrots or chiles) and curly fries to go to share with a friend. It was actually really good. I'm not sure what category of food to put this place in because there are Vietnamese dishes, BBQ, burgers, and Spanish food; it's a nice mix. I would recommend trying it out.
April 27 · Sophia AponteWent for dinner recently and sat at the bar. The food was absolutely delicious with great BBQ selections. They have a massive whiskey list if you’re looking for something to sip on. I’m looking forward to trying brunch here next.
