Fodor's Review:

The latest addition to Daniel Boulud's mini-New York City restaurant empire, DBGB forgoes the white tablecloths, formal service, and steep prices you'll find at the famed chef and restaurateur's fancier digs, and instead pays homage to the grittier, younger feel of its Lower East Side location. The dining room is lined with shelves of pots, plates, and pans (not to mention copperware donated by renowned chefs from around the world) and gives way to the partially open kitchen where you can catch glimpses of chefs preparing Boulud's take on French and German-inspired pub fare. The menu features 13 different varieties of sausages (the tunisienne, a spicy lamb and mint merguez is a particular standout), decadently sinful burgers (the aptly named "piggy" burger, a juicy beef patty topped with a generous portion of pulled pork, jalapeño mayonnaise, and mustard vinegar slaw in a cheddar-cornbread bun is not for the weak-willed), and classic entrees like steak frites, and lemon and rosemary roasted chicken. The $22 three-course, lunch prix-fixe is quite a steal.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
