Meet the Meat

"Went there on a Friday and they had a full house. We didn’t have a reservation but the host and who was later also our waiter and bartender was friendly and able to accommodate. With only two total people working on the floor it took a bit of time to get our drink orders, having to flag the waiter for our second round after the food came out. The appetizers were not good, with the slab bacon fat not fully rendered and the rind not edible. The four broiled shrimp were overcooked and over powered in lemon and what looked like and tasted like jarred garlic. The main entree was solid and well executed as we had the porterhouse for two, Brussel sprouts and hash brown potatoes. Overall it has a very nice and comfortable local vibe with some uneven service and food."

"All the steaks are on point but the sleeper hit was the ribeye. Great crust and funk! This little neighborhood steakhouse is a gem."

"My wife and I have been coming here for years. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is peaceful. As a vegetarian, the grilled vegetable platter is amazing. My wife always orders the bone-in sirloin. Parking in the area is accessible."

"The steak was brilliant. Overall, the dishes were great, although the scallops themselves had a slightly unpleasant odor."

"Trust the reviews. This place is quality. The atmosphere is very classic steak house. Lots of wood and wine all over. Prices were modest. Service was top notch. Above Astoria blvd it gets a little rural and with it comes hospitality. Bunch of families eating. We got the steak for 2. Ordered medium. The best part was 1/2 the steak was medium and the other 1/2 was medium rare. So my gf was happy. And I left the medium rare on the hot plate for a little longer and it cooked to medium. So. On point. Thanks Meet the Meat!"
