I came here with my husband and two friends a couple of nights ago. The steaks are FANTASTIC!!!!!! I got their special that night, the bone in filet mignon and my husband got the bone in rib eye. It is totally worth the trek out to Queens! They also were really nice about us bringing our own wine, the corkage fee is $20. I'm giving it 4 stars only because I wasn't too impressed with the rest of the food (sides and appetizers, we got creamed spinach, hash browns, mushroom, and baked potato as well as a scallop appetizer). It's not bad, but it's not "wow" either.
Honestly, the steak is so good, who cares! Go forth and steak!
Aside from it's arguably tacky name, everything else about this place is anything but. This place has all you want and expect from a legit steakhouse: reasonable prices, top quality steaks, and impeccable service.
Came here on Halloween night with a bunch of friends. About half the crowd inside the joint were wearing costumes, it was a riot. We particularly took a liking to a Superman and Catwoman couple sharing a very romantic dinner. Though I'm not sure Batman was pleased about it. Haha anyway, the interior is quite spacious and the vibe is fairly old-school and comfortable, but with some modern finishes (white table covers, dimly lit, with a chic brick-lined wall in the main dining area). Our server was super friendly, very attentive and helped answer any questions we had about the menu. We decided to skip appetizers and just order our steaks along with various sides.
For my steak, I went with what this place is known for, the filet. I'm typically not that big a filet fan as I typically gravitate toward fattier, more flavor cuts, like a ribeye. I'm honestly not sure if they dry-age or wet-age the steaks here, but what I am sure of is that this filet was bonkers good. My steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare and insanely flavorful. The sear done on both sides created the ideal crust for texture and helped to lock in all the those meat juices on the inside. Drool city. Well worth the $35. As for the sides, they were equally on point. The creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and asparagus were the perfect accompaniments to all the meaty goodness.
And as for service, it doesn't get any better. I already mentioned our awesome server, but the owner, Adnan, was such a delight and continually checked in on us throughout the evening. A couple of us decided to park ourselves at the bar after the meal and order a few rounds. Even though we probably a bit rowdy at that point and were there well-beyond the normal closing time, Adnan and team continued to wait on us until we finished our last drink. Those things do NOT go unnoticed in my book. I really can't say enough good things about the staff.
I tend not to use the term "hidden gem" much on here, but in this case it's completely warranted. Well done, Meet the Meat. Thank you for respecting the tradition of fine dining sans the pretension.
I met a group of friends here for dinner on a Saturday night. I'm a Texas boy; in Texas cattle is king, and this boy knows and adores his steak. Coming from Houston where steaks are plentiful in the supermarket and cheap enough to eat on a regular basis, it is rare that I go more than a week without my beloved bovine. It had been several weeks since my lips last caressed the tender love of prime cut, and I had withdrawals. I waltzed in the joint starving, and satiated by the aroma of the glory that surely awaited me.
The cocktails were fantastic, the oysters equally so. The sides were fairly steakhouse standard-fare, but the Creamed Spinach stood out with me. I love creamed spinach, had high hopes for this one, and boy did it deliver.
The steak was glory. A few pounds of heaven brought forth and placed on a platter in front of me as if by divine intervention. The table was sharing several powerhouses "for two", and I begrudgingly acquiested to an order of medium-rare. I'm a rare kind of man, anything more and you sacrifice the glorious flavor of beef that lustfully subdues the senses. I was not to be left wanting. The steak was perfection. Buttery, well aged, and triumphant with flavor like a Roman Centurion coming home from battle victorious to the march of all of Rome's pomp and circumstance.
For desert we elected to share a pecan, and key lime pie(s), and a cheesecake. All were fantastic. But, the pecan pie stood out as the prima donna of desert. Buttery, flaky, perfectly balanced sweetness; perfection.
Meet the Meat unreservedly deserves my approval. You can bet your lucky star that I'll gladly return.
