About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Good for business meals
Butcher & Singer, in the amazing historic location of 1500 Walnut, is an intimate and sophisticated dining experience in a relaxed clubhouse setting. We brought back the true classics from perfect Manhattans and Sidecars to hand-cut steaks and chops, and freshly caught fish. Timeless and fun for all in the continued age of the American chophouse.

    I have a mixed feeling and overall experience was not bad. My wife and I had a reservation for 9:45pm. The restaurant has a 15 minutes grace period and we got to the restaurant at 9:58pm. I called the restaurant because I was finding it difficult to locate the building and was helped by the receptionist. We got to the restaurant before 10pm, and was told to wait for a table to be cleared for us. We sat at a table next to the host both, and after about 15 minutes I asked the host for an update. The host then told me the table is getting ready for us. We sat at a table around 10:20pm. Our overall experience was good. The ambience was nice, my wife loves the place. The food is what would make me go back and visit. We give it an 7/10 for overall experience. 8/10 for the food. 6/10 for customer service. I would recommend people to check out the restaurant.

    Top contender for the best steakhouse in Philadelphia, it never disappoints. I took friends there, and they stated: “best meat I ever had.” Also, the biscuits are to die for I’ll keep coming back

    So glad that Butcher and Singer is still just as special as it was several years ago, the last time I visited. The steak is always perfectly prepared, the servers incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and an ambience that simply can not be repeated anywhere else in Philadelphia with those high ceilings, grand ceilings, and all that beautiful woodwork. Can't wait for the next visit!

    John, our server as great!! So kind and sweet! We were celebrating my dear friend’s birthday and John did a fabulous job, and gave her as nice dish of ice cream with a brownie and a chocolate that said “happy birthday!” on it! Food was fabulous! Birthday girl had the Australian waygu strip steak and it was to die for! I had the king salmon, which was fabulous! Can’t wait to go back! Exceeded expectations!
