This local restaurant is amazing. The food is super fresh and delicious. These people get it. We have been going to this butcher for 20 plus years. This is a must try.

The food and service were fantastic. What a great idea…a butcher shop that’s a restaurant. We ate the roast beef sandwich with the Bronx salad. Best meal I ate in a long time and for a descent price. Even better, it’s bring your own and after dinner entertainment is across the street at Five Dimes. The food was so good that I ate it all before getting pictures. Love this place!

Great spot for a tasty meal. Met a friend here for lunch. I always thought it was just a butcher. Roast beef dip was very tender and flavorful. Brewery burger was cooked perfectly, and I chose the short rib, brisket, and sirloin mix of meats. Great fried pickle app too. French onion soup was good with Swiss and gruyere cheese melted on top. I tend to like the broth a bit darker and robust, but it was certainly flavorful with a mix of different onions. Truffle fries were great, but I am going to have to try the garlic parm fries next. Staff were very friendly and attentive. They helped out tremendously with the choice selections. I will absolutely be back to try more.

Such fresh and good quality meat, and salad! Great tasty sandwiches and soups. Our server explained the dishes in detail to us, and the ingredients we requested to be omitted due to allergies were well reflected, and she was very kind! The interior was bright and clean. I absolutely return!

This is based on a walk-in order to go on 1/11/25. I had 2 hours to kill on a Saturday around two pm so I went to Five Dimes Brewery. I was walking there when I remembered I always wanted to try Westwood Prime Eats. I walked in and a server approached me. I said I wanted to place a take-out order. He showed me the menu and a paper printout of the specials. I asked about his preferred burger noting the "rizzler" as the special burger offered today. He said "I love it". Since it was my original intent to get a burger anyway and I prefer giving "the special" an opportunity to sink or swim my order for "the rizzler" was placed. Aged Mid-Rare with fries (it comes with a single pickle spear). He informed me it would be up in about 15 minutes. $26.52 I left and went to Five Dimes and had a beer. Their Orange Lunatic. A Belgian-Style Witbier. The rest is easier said in photos. 2:32 return to Five Dimes Brewery with my burger. And get another beer. 2:34 chewing the first perfect bite . It's got just the right amount of everything. It's the perfect temp. It's just slightly salty cheesy. Slightly sweet from the shaved floured fried (frizzled) onions. An amazing smokehouse mayo and BBQ sauce. Suffice to say it was good. 2:41 I look down to a box of very few remaining fries and a single empty ketchup packet. Everything exceeded my expectations. Good choices were made. 10/10

So I'm sorry to say, a little disappointing... Don't get me wrong it was a solid (French Onion) burger but was not great.. The problem was, the menu & ambiance of the location seemed awesome + great staff and I had rec'd personal recommendations from locals - so I was expecting greatness! Very cool place with, what looks like, 100-year-old tile floors At first glance, the burger looked too perfectly circular, that & the texture gave me the impression of a pre-frozen patty. They claimed all burgers are freshly made - which makes sense for a place that has (3) diff hamburger meat mixtures avaliable. But that was my honest impression. Also Kinda skimpy on the onions but excellent sauce. I'd still say worth u trying out, as I'm looking forward to trying some other stuff there - then may improve the rating I also went to the butcher after getting my take out. Extremely friendly staff and some good looking meats. Only thing I bought were some frozen meatballs. Again solid but really nothing special.

Nestled in the heart of Westwood, NJ, Westwood Prime Eats is a rare gem that brilliantly fuses the tradition of a classic butcher shop with the vibrant appeal of a contemporary restaurant. This unique concept doesn’t just serve food—it crafts experiences rooted in freshness, quality, and deep culinary expertise.

From the first bite, it becomes clear that Westwood Prime Eats understands its craft. Their roast beef sandwiches, praised for tender, flavorful meat, stand out as a signature highlight. Each sandwich feels like a masterclass in balance, combining perfectly cooked cuts with fresh, complementary sides like the Bronx salad. The bold assembly of short rib, brisket, and sirloin in their brewery burger offers a sophisticated flavor symphony that lingers pleasantly, while their homemade sauces—smoky mayo and tangy BBQ—add layers of complexity without overpowering the meat’s innate richness.

What truly elevates this establishment is the uncompromising freshness and quality of their ingredients. Years of roots as a butcher allow them to source and prepare prime cuts that melt in your mouth. Soups, like the French onion with its blend of Swiss and gruyere, highlight a nuanced approach to classic dishes, while sides such as truffle fries and fried pickles bring thoughtful, crave-worthy touches that satisfy with every bite.

Service here is another feather in their cap. Attentive staff take the time to explain dishes and accommodate dietary preferences with kindness and precision, ensuring every guest feels valued and well cared for. The inviting, clean interior further complements the laid-back yet refined dining experience, making it perfect for both casual meals and special treats.
