So Tracy from Customer Service reached out to me and asked me to please give them a second chance. My reviews are completely unbiased and i will always give a business a chance to redeem themselves if they ask.
Saturday night I did just that after a fun night of hopping around The Meatball Shop was our fifth and final stop. time was around 2:00am and it was still fairly busy. i sat down with two of my friends and this time i was armed with knowledge.
Ordered:
1 Stout-like tap beer (don't remember the name but it was delicious)
2. Meatball Hero with classic meatballs, Mozzarella cheese with spicy meat sauce.
3. Tried the Buffalo Chicken Balls
4. Ice Cream Sandwich, Chocolate chip cookies with classic vanilla
the food:
my god my hero was amazing. absolutely full of flavor. HOT (Balls were at a good temperature) the cheese was melted and the hero bread was charred nicely with a great crunch but also a nice moist texture from the tomato sauce.
the buffalo chicken balls were just okay, they don't heat these balls enough, the center was kind of cold so it meant for a mealy, consistency.
Ice Cream sandwich and beer: Damn good. No complaints. even after being ridiculously full i managed to finish them both.
I am glad I gave this place a second chance and now armed with what you really should order when at TMS I know what I have to get after a long night of bar hopping.
I will be back!
Cute little restaurant with a unique menu, but not as amazing as everyone says. It's on my "been there, done that" list, but prob would never go back.
Stopped in late on a Friday night, sitting at the bar. Enjoyed the hip hop culture and music surrounding us. They had Various meatball options, which was nice as I love meatballs.
They had a nice mix of cocktail options as well.
I had 4 (small-medium sized) beef meatballs w spicy sauce: came out quickly, were nicely flavorful and spiced. Came w bread, which was fine.
Burnt orange margarita: nice, well flavored, not too bitter
Buzzed Lebowski: White Russian w coffee beans and one giant ice cube: strongly flavored of kahlua
Drinks were small, maybe a bit more expensive than they should be, though I don't know the area and what's comparable
Overall interesting and worth trying if you like meatballs and character
Came through here really late last night, around 1am. Had my heart set on ramen but that spot was closed plus I've passed Meatball shop so many times and never stopped in. I loved the old school decor as soon as I walked in, the tables kinda reminded me of desks in a classroom. I really liked their system as far as how ingredients are classified for you to make your decisions and order. It's really simple. I had chicken balls with classic tomato sauce and provolone on brioche and OMG it changed my life!!!! This was the most memorable meatball sandwich I've ever had. It was so good I will now have to just not walk down Bedford so I'm not led into temptation lol But seriously, I'm so happy I stumbled in here and will definitely return.
Let me preface by saying the meatballs themselves are amazing. I've had various samplings at other Meatball Shops, and they were THE BEST. In fact, that's why when I walked past here last Sunday, I couldn't resist stopping in and trying them out for brunch. I decided to have the Eggs Florentine with the Breakfast Special Meatball (Sausage).
The Egg Florentine was tasty, but the wet spinach, sauce, and egg yolk combined made the meal a little soggy. I had a mimosa that was also delicious but small in size for $10. My boyfriend's order was messed up, but our waiter was really great, and there were no hard feelings there. He even gave us a jello shot for our wait. Many of the other servers were eating Dunkin' Donuts right in front of us. I get that it was 1pm and they might be hungry (believe me, I'm ALWAYS hungry), but perhaps this could've been eaten more discreetly in the back.
All-in-all I like this place, and if you just get the meatballs, it's a 4-star rating. Unfortunately, today's meal was just average, and I was expecting more. Seeing as this was my first time eating in the Brooklyn location, I can't verify whether or not this was just an off day or typical for the location; hopefully it was the former.
Pretty darn good, though I didn't feel that the tomato-based sauce was tangy enough to offset the meatiness. Also, I would prefer more bite-sized meatballs instead of the giant mounds they serve you. I would also order some veggies on the side to balance out the meal…you get kind of tired of just eating meat by itself.
Ehh…
Stopped in here because the chalkboard on the sidewalk said happy hour. We went inside and the bar stools are the most uncomfortable chairs I've ever sat on. Then it turns out that happy hour was only Monday thru Friday, even though it was Saturday & they were advertising happy hour.
I've heard such great things about this restaurant so I was excited to try it out so I suggested it to our group.
We were seated in about 10 minutes on a Sunday night so the wait was not too bad but it was relatively busy from when we arrived around 6:30 pm and when we left.
The food arrived cold and the portion sizes were small. The focaccia bread that came with my order was stale, small and cold. I love bread so this was really sad.
The flavor of the meatballs were fine and the sauce was good. I just wish the temperature of the food was hot.
Our server rarely came to check up on us after the food arrived.
