Meat

Very good food and great service. The ribs were especially excellent. We stayed for a long time after we were finished eating and our waiter didn't rush us at all and kept refilling our waters. Very nice experience.

I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious and so much better than your ordinary BBQ/Steakhouse chains. You end up paying less for it as well. The brisket is flavoured to perfection and the texture is excellent. Likewise, the pulled pork sandwich they serve is also delicious. The combination of ingredients in their salad is ingenious; I now make my garden salad the same way. Most important of all is their service, which is extraordinary. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant in the future.

If you're on the thirsty side already, going to MEAT will make you even more thirsty! I tried a meat platter last night with a few friends, and boy oh boy, was it ever savoury! The brisket was tender and the chicken was juicy. The sausage was delicatable and the fries were scrumptious. Usually the place is packed with people and the energy is bustling but the staff are extremely helpful and positive. Overall, a fantastic place to spend an evening, dining out with a group.

My buddy and I shared the sampler platter. The fried chicken was fantastic, and smoked chicken very moist and well seasoned. Pulled pork was also tasty. Brisket and pork ribs seemed dry, but we'll smoked, indicating that the cuts were over-trimmed before smoking. Sauces were adequate. Feature molten lava cake was sent back as it had no lava, and turned out to be just dry chocolate cake. Portions of sides were large and flavourful, with beans, garlic fries and cornbread enjoyed by all. Brussel sprouts were nicely prepared, but quite salty.

Went here the other night. And split the meat platter. Was terrific we also had the potatoe fritters. They to were also very good. The staff was friendly knowledgeable and attentive. They have a great selection of beers on tap and bottles aswell. I must say, walking into the restaurant from the street the smoke smell is unbelievable so tasty. All the food was great. We both felt that the fried chicken was lacking a bit. Everything else made up for thou. I felt the presentation for a $65 platter was a bit lacking. I would come back to try some other items on the menu. Overall good experience

The heartiest food in town! The menu is fairly simple with delicious carnivorous dishes that are slow cooked between 6 and 14 hours to perfection. The 'family style' serving means that all your menu selections come together on one large tray. There are selections of beef, pork and chicken with four sauces (the spicy one is to die for). You won't regret the succulent burnt ends but I suggest giving the pork ribs a miss as they are dry style and weren't to my taste.Seasonal vegetable sides and garlic fries are a must. There are a range of drinks and the staff are friendly. I definitely suggest booking ahead as waits are typically 45 min on busy evenings at peak times. Overall you will spend about $30-$50 per person and be ridiculously full!

Fantastic food with a great assortment of beer. A very nice selection of sauces to complement the wonderfully smoked brisket and ribs etc. Really recommend the brussel sprouts, goes very well with it all! It was very busy and good vibes, suitable for couples, families and hanging out with friends. Will definitely come back again!

The beef brisket sandwich was delicious, and the garlic fries were really good too. The Mac & cheese wasn’t anything special. The “meat” parts of everything were amazing. I tried some other bits from friends and it was all so good.

Absolutely amazing experience, tasty meats, good service, candle on desert for bday event. Been here few times now and never disappoints. The only regret you will have is the amount of delicious meat you just ingested causing you to question your life decisions and where do you go from here or roll which is more probable.

The service is awesome, have the rubbed pork ribs, so good. First I tried the beef rib special and it was not good, the waitress asked us shortly after we started if we were enjoying it and I had to say that I was not impressed, she quickly offered to exchange for anything else and I said I would try the pork ribs, she brought them out quickly and I was so impressed. Great job on satisfying the customer. I will recomend for sure.

This place is always busy, despite that the service has always been top notch. I've been able to try quite a bit of the menu and I can reassure anyone that their food lives up to any hype you might have heard. The brisket slaps, also don't sleep on the honey butter it is amazing.

Delicious food that came out quickly! The service was excellent and the choices were all amazing.One recommendation is adding yourself to their online cue when you get close to the restaurant as they are often really busy!

Went for brunch and it was not as good as I had expected hearing all the rave reviews. Was not bad but okay. Would like to try their dinner another time

We have ordered pick up on two occasions in the last month, and it has been a hit with our family. Amazing RIBS!!!!! Brisket was a huge hit with our three boys, Great Value, and the food travels very well for Take Out, compared to other restaurants we have tried in the last two months. Pick up procedures were well organized, and very professional. Highly Recommend.

John is amazing!! He gives great recommendations and is super funny, has an amazing personality, and takes everything to the next level. He made it a great experience. Food is incredible and the place is very charming and lovely. Definitely ask for John when you come!

Went for lunch! Lovely menu selection and the fried chicken is delicious!

I really enjoy their food. I always get good service here. The place is well kept and the staff members are always kind. Highly recommended.

This restaurant is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. when I want to go to a superb dinner, this restaurant comes straightaway to my mind. splendid and many types of food and a large list of dishes.trained staff, and nice spirit. Also, the tariff is fair. I recommend this restaurant with no doubt.

Excellent brisket, sausage, smoked chicken, fried chicken, ribs and pulled pork. Perfect bourbon and original house made BBQ sauces. Quality service and atmosphere.BBQ at its best. Thanks Faye and Chef! See you again soon.

Love their quick time noodle dishes. Their dinner for one's are reasonably priced. Love how nice the front desk is, and how dinner is ready and home to eat by 20-40 minutes. Will definitely be ordering again! The food was very fresh and each dish had its own unique flavor.

We loved this place. I felt that they have the best smoked meat in Edmonton. We had their pulled pork and back end beef brisket with their own house made hot sauce which was amazing. Then we orders the garlic fries which so good (note*- dont order the large portion the quantity is for four people 😁).The place is a family style dining restaurant and has some of the friendliest staffs. This a good place to hangout with your friends and family.

Our first time trying the MEAT and we expected it to be really good with the high reviews. Came and ordered the ribs, pulled pork and brisket but we just didn't expect that it will be all dry and tough to eat. Sauces are nice, garlic fries is good but the meat is just tough and dry. We didn't even get to finish our food.

The service was fast and friendly. Food is delicious as always. I always recommend the mac and cheese! The server recommended mashed potato fritters with whipped sour cream, definitely try it if you get the chance!! They were crispy on the outside, but smooth in the inside.

Came to MEAT tonight for my wife's birthday and it was wonderful. Got seated promptly despite it being packed. Food came out very quick and was fabulous. The brisket and various sauces were nice. I loved the mac and cheese. Brussel sprouts were great. Potato salad was good, but I wouldn't buy it again (I'd get more mac and cheese). I had the lemonade and it was nice. Great place!

Love this place! The food was delicous, the restaurant is set up nicely, and the servers are super friendly and attentive. It was about $180 for a meal that fed 4, 4 desserts, 4 alcoholic drinks and 1 non alcoholic drink. Will definitely go back. If you're going, get the sausage!

Thank you for making the ethical choice. We will remember and come in when everyone can be safe. Some business lost is better than some lives lost.

It was a decent dish, but the bacon was absolutely comparable to jerky. Loved the flavor of the potato, it was the best part. I would also recommend a different method for how the bread is placed, for it made the plate cluttered looking. (Meat Breakfast)

Did some take out for my family during these Covid times and it was fantastic. Very well organized, immaculately clean and fantastic BBQ! We have done a few previous pick ups lately and this was the best in terms or organization and ability of the food to travel. Excellent value and amazing Brisket, beans and slaw! We will be back for pick up for sure and we look forward to dining in!

One of my absolute favourite places to eat. Amazing service, great beer selection, cool specials and obviously the food is amazing. Gets busy after 6 so plan to get there a bit earlier to get seated faster.

I ordered 1/2 pound of the brisket for myself and shared a large order of the mac n cheese, beans, and cornbread. The portions were fair and what we ordered was enough for two of us. I enjoyed all the sauces (bourbon, cherry, mustard, and spicy) and found myself rotating through them during the meal. The service and atmosphere was very good - a good sound level to make it a cool spot but not so loud that you cannot have a good conversation. I will definitely consider coming again to try a few other MEATs on the menu.

I’ve only had brunch here once but that was enough to give them 5 stars. Wow was it ever delicious! Me and a friend got two different dishes and then split them. I’m not sure I’ve ever been more thrilled with that outcome! Both were equally delicious and filling. I walked about so full and satisfied!

We were pleased with the reception and service. We were very pleased with the quality and selection of drinks available. And we were also very pleased with the quality of the food that we received. Everything was delicious. I especially appreciate the great value for the dollar that this restaurant provides. We felt like we really 'got our money's worth' and that added to an overall excellent experience that causes us to want to return.

I’ve been going to Meat since they’ve opened, and they consistently have fantastic food and service. From the hostesses to the bartenders, chefs, porters and servers, they’re all so friendly and outgoing. The food is even better than the service. I love how the specials are always changing and they’re always coming up with something new and creative. I highly recommend the watermelon and apple salad while it’s still on the menu. The burnt ends are also phenomenal.

So good. I love the smoked ribs they don’t have a bunch of fat on them like so many ribs do. Everything on the menu is good. I only get to eat here when I visit family. Open a place up in San Diego I have yet to find good smoked BBQ that doesn’t have all the fat on the ribs.

Went here for brunch with family (4ppl) - fast and friendly service.Their food here was amazing, I ordered the Beef Brisket Sandwich though there was too much bread compared to meat.Would definitely come here again for lunch or dinner when I’m in town

Specialized Stair and Rail hosted their company Christmas party at Meat. We were nothing sort of impressed. The service, the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and drinks were all fantastic. Hosting this party at Meat made for a stress free event to plan and a fun and memorable event for our staff. Thanks for creating a great space for us and accommodating a large group.

Amazing atmosphere and very attentive service. The food was fresh and delightful. Will absolutely recommend this spot to friends and family. Affordable rates and big meals. Great work.

The food is always so good. So much meat! Their cornbread is incredible. Staff are great and super friendly.

This restaurant is hands down my favorite place to eat in the city, it literally doesn't matter what you order. Everything is slow smoked, everything is delicious. Seriously order anything, and the garlic fries are to die for. All this for what you would spend at your typical chain restaurants. Fantastic staff to top it all off.

Great selection of meat - best served family style, so you can try a wide selection. Either that or bring a family sized appetite! The food is delicious, so you won't want to stop! Service had always been good as well and the wait can be a little long if you come later on a Saturday. Bourbon cocktails are delicious as well - I would highly recommend the brisket old fashioned (no actual meat in it - my understanding is the Bourbon is soaked with the brisket so to give it a richer more dynamic flavour - which it does really well).

Nice, open atmosphere, server was very friendly and funny. The peach rosemary iced tea was divine! I ordered the Southern Grits. The flavour was awesome, the sausage gravy was nice and spicy, not too salty, and the meat was of course amazing. However, the dish doesn't come with toast or hashbrowns, and the result ends up being mostly saucy, with not much texture beyond soft meat. I wish I had ordered a side of toast, or that it came with it just to give some crunch. Otherwise, I had a good time with my family and would return.

I visited "Meat" restaurant with a few work colleagues while visiting Edmonton. It's got a whole Texas-barbeque thing going on with various smoked meat options and Southern sides. The food was really good. Service was ok. It's located in a fun/trendy area so you should walk around the surrounding streets afterwards and check out some of the shops after your meal.

The food was amazing and so was the staff. They were friendly and funny. Environment was pleasant with free WiFi. The only downside was the lack of parking spaces and we had walk for a while yo get there.

Best eatery joint in town for fresh spicy meat. They change their menu from time to time to keep it interesting and fresh. Portions are huge and you never walk out of here hungry. 5 stars

Came here for dinner and it did not disappoint! Food was great and service was prompt and friendly. We had the brisket and the burnt ends., delicious! The sides we chose were fries, coleslaw, brussels sprouts, & baked beans. Brussels Sprouts were my favourite, yum Finished off dinner with their much talked about pecan pie - very good indeed

Absolutely fantastic! I love food, but this food was wonderful! It was a bit weird to sit at a table with strangers but it ended up being a new and fun experience and our group soon forgot that at the other end of the table was other people. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the experience of eating as well delicious food. My daughter's and I do a monthly girl's night and this will definitely be a place that we will go again.

Delicious food and fantastic service! Emily was our bartender/server and she was great all around; friendly, and helpful. She gave us good advice on what we would find delicious and how much to order. Definitely recommend it!!!

Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back. The beans are to die for and the meat in general is so good. Our server was awesome. Oh and I recommend the pickle. So worth the 1$.

Pretty great place to go overall. Food is always great in the atmosphere, especially in the summer, when you can sit on the patio and enjoy dinner and a show - because there’s always something to see on Whyte Avenue. The pulled pork is one of my favorites, along with the mac & cheese! 🤤

Definitely go there if you are in Edmonton. Friendly staff and fast service. Their food is really good. Meat is juicy and tender. Loved the different sauces they have. Alcohol selection is good too.
