I very much enjoy the meat at Meat. It's a great quick bite, late night snack, filling dinner. It's a choose your adventure kind of treat. It's really tough to pick a sandwich because they all sound so good. They have a nice balance of ingredients and flavors, and the bread adds to the perfect sandwich texture. Served quickly on foil and branded brown paper, the meal feels casual yet made with love. Lots of unique sandwiches as well as classics to try. I can't believe it's taken me so long to give it a shot. Don't let that be you!

Sandwich shop inside East Rock Market. I can't say I was too excited about any of the limited options, but the tuna melt punched above its weight. Tons of tuna and some good melted cheese on a panini-pressed ciabatta. I get that they're called Meat...but would be nice to see a veg sandwich option too...

Their menu

Hi his place is great. All sandwiches are cooked to order. The menu is limited but there's something for just about everyone. The guy behind the grill was quiet, busy and very clean. Every sandwich is cooked on panini grills and my ribeye steak (actual steak) was delicious. Great find and not terribly expensive

50 Cent. The cheese pull!

Awesome experience with late lunch at Meat & Co! I used the ordering window to the right of the door (very convenient and COVID safe) and ordered a 50 Cent. It was delicious, all the ingredients were high quality and tasty individually, and perfect when combined. Would love to come back and try other menu items, especially their Reuben!

I've been hyped to try this place for a while since I love a good sandwich. The location is small and hidden but easy enough to find. The sandwiches were easy to order online and ready on time. The sandwiches themselves were pretty good. The steak sandwich was very sparse on the steak but it was quite tasty. The chicken sandwich was fine, but the chicken wasn't too flavorful. The Reuben had a wonderful pretzel bun and delicious sauce. Would love to come again to try a few of the other sandwiches.

The Revenge of Mr. Jeremy Fisher (right) Uncle Orie

The idea of this place is to have a no frills but unique sandwich experience. It is an offshoot of 116 Crown. This was my second visit. I brought along a couple of friends. Two of us shared a couple of sandwiches; The Revenge of Mr. Jeremy Fisher smoked trout, pea tendrils, pickled radish, ladybird dressing Uncle Orie (cubano) #hotfire walden hill ham, brie, tomato, garlic bread The sandwiches tastes pretty good but for $10 they need to be much better. In today's market you need to have a whole grain bread. We have great bakeries in New Haven so there's no excuse. The garlic bread with the Uncle Orie wasn't very garlicky. Additionally, we wanted the special on the board which was a smoked whitefish but upon ordering were told it was last week's special and they were out. This was on a Tuesday and they said the specials go Wednesday to Wednesday. Lastly, no diet soda and out of chips. The person making my the sandwiches was the manager. She didn't seem to care that much about the shortfalls making it seem like the norm. Not a good thing for long term survival. Just not a very comfortable experience.

Absolutely incredible sandwich. I ordered The Cure, which is the Salmon and arugula sandwich and the flavors all complemented each other perfectly.

Phenomenal sandwich. I got their chicken sandwich With all day sauce and it was so fire.

Such a perfect lunch place--we think it's the best sandwich in New Haven. Wish it was just a bit closer to the med campus, though it makes a nice once-in-a-while treat... We tend to stick with the beef sandwiches here, especially the God Forbid (though I've been curious to try the Bluto, which pairs spicy chicken and honey mustard ). Love the juicy + flavorful meat here, and the perfectly grilled / slightly crunchy bread. The God Forbid has roast beef and liverwurst along with a sweet onion jam. The sweetness of the liver and jam are perfect together. All the sandwiches are pressed to grill until a nice crust develops and cheese melts and crisps at the ends. Not greasy, and a good amount of salt (perfect for me, might be a touch high for others). Altogether, Meat & Co makes a high end-style sandwich at a very fair price for the quality (~$10). It's kind of small and casual (stool seating), but we haven't ever had a problem getting a seat. Service is fast. I sometimes forget but there's a nice lunch special on Monday, plus--though I've never tried it--absolutely perfect (as in hearty af) late night specials Sat/Sun (8 PM - 3 AM). Ill try to come back for it soon!

Chicken, it's what's for dinner.

This was my first time coming to Meat & Co and I'm hoping it won't be my last! Ended up coming here on Saturday night when my friend suggested coming here. The place itself is very small and kind of tucked away. The menu here is pretty awesome and gives you a nice variety along with some cool names like the "Cypress Hill" and the "Rick Reuben". I had to order "The Bluto" which was a spicy fried chicken sandwich with honey mustard in between some buttermilk biscuits. I really enjoyed the sandwich even though I wasn't completely sold on the biscuits (just didn't win me over). The chicken itself was juicy and tasted fantastic. Overall, this is an awesome spot and was the perfect food for us at the time. With so many places in New Haven, it's hard to stick out but this play certainly does.

Hell. Yes.

Holy crap. I don't know why it's taken me so long to eat here, I go to Cafe Nine all the time and am often looking for a bite post show. The staff is so friendly, as are the patrons. The sandwiches are amazing. My guy and I went nuts and ordered the Big Pun to share. It was stupid good, and I needed a fork (he somehow managed without). The owner stopped by and chatted, which was nice. Best 2 am eats, hands down.

For the most part, I agree with Cathy. I loved the play on name, so I went with the Rick Reuben. with Chips + Drink it came to $15.50. I think that's the most i've dropped on a sandwich lunch combo, ever. For $10+ i was expecting a rueben to rival the stack of meat I would get a place such as Katz or Carnegie Deli. Nope, What arrived was a mini-me clone of those places. i was lucky to get 5 oz of meat, on a pretzel roll no bigger than the palm of my hand. While it WAS insanely delicious, I left hungry and looking for something else to eat, and I assure you that's never happened at Vito's (check them out the next block over, you can get enough to feed 4 people for the price of 1 sandwich here). So the ingredients are organic and local, but the hippie culture doesn't impress me when their draining my wallet. Food = 5 Price = 1 Service = 3 Overall = 3 would I come back, sure, if someone else is treating and i've already eaten.

Grossed me out - seems like poor quality. Not sure where the food is actually made, weird storefront pickup.

Jess L stated in their review that you're a good place for a "late night snack?" Was that a verified review? Aren't you guys only open for lunch?

I'm a customer, not a staff member, but I can confirm they are open for late night bites!

Hot Murga - Badmaash's Mac and Cheese ($15)

I found this place while randomly looking on DoorDash. They had a happy hour special, so I decided…read moreto check them out. If you enjoy the flavors of Indian food as well as one of those quick service, hot chicken restaurants you probably would enjoy Hot Murga. The chicken sandwich comes in five spice levels from no heat to super hot. I got the standard hot, and it has some kick, but it wasn't overpowering. Then again I enjoy spicy food. I also ordered their spiced mac & cheese. Again, not spicy at all, but flavorful. Also a good portion as I have leftovers for later. I had my food delivered, but this establishment is close to the Yale campus and street parking can be a bit tricky on Howe St. and around Broadway. I've been inside of the space once when it was a different restaurant some years ago, it's not a large space, but I'm pretty sure comfortable if you decided to dine in. If you ever find yourselves at a crossroad between wanting Chick-fil-A and Indian food, this would be a great alternative.

A fun take on fried chicken, but with "Indian" flavors. I got the Murga Sandwich (hot) and…read moreBadmaash's Mac & Cheese (medium). Honestly, I didn't think the Murga Sandwich itself had too much flavor - the fry was good and the chicken was juicy & crispy, it was just a lacking seasoning and even "hot" was not super spicy. The spice itself also tasted very one dimensional - just spicy, with no seasoning. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by the sandwich itself, but would be interested in trying some of their other sauces. The Badmaash Mac & Cheese was the redeeming item of the meal though - this is basically a Mac & Cheese, covered in tikka sauce & their spicy sauce, and topped with fried chicken. It's definitely a unique flavor, and I think the tikka masala sauce went really well with the cheesy mac texture. Definitely seems like the kind of late night out comfort craving, because it is super heavy. p.s. - pro tip, the sandwich itself is $12 but the sliders are $6 and definitely larger than half of a sandwich (probably closer to 2/3rds). So I'd get 2 sliders for $12 instead of a sandwich.

Stopped by this location after my college class nearby early evening on a Tuesday. I ordered the…read moreHot Tendie Combo ahead of time, so it was ready to go when I arrived. I was actually surprised by how empty/unbusy it was. This is one of their smaller locations, but that didn't bother me since I was grabbing my food to go. The tendies had a nice crispy breading and the chicken was juicy. I went with the Hot seasoning level and thought the heat was just right, definitely spicy, but still enjoyable and flavorful. I also got a banana pudding for my daughter since she loves it. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely consider stopping back in the future.

Unfortunately, our experience with Haven Hot Chicken's food truck was extremely disappointing…read more I posted a solicitation on the CT Food Trucks website looking for food trucks for our Jack and Jill event on September 5. In the post, I clearly explained that we were expecting approximately 80-100 guests and that guests would be responsible for purchasing their own food. Amanda from Haven Hot Chicken's food truck reached out to me directly. She provided information about their food truck, confirmed that they were available on September 5, and specifically told me that we would not need to pay a deposit to reserve them. Based on that brief email conversation and a phone call, we considered the food truck booked for our event and planned accordingly. Unfortunately, Haven Hot Chicken never showed up to our event. We had no advance notice that they weren't coming, and we were left scrambling to deal with the situation while hosting our event. When I contacted the company during our event, I was told that Amanda no longer worked for the company, that she had apparently never entered our event into their booking system, and that there was no record of our conversation or the booking. While I understand that employees leave and that mistakes can happen, this was a significant failure in communication and event coordination. We had made plans based on the commitment we received from Haven Hot Chicken, and their failure to properly document the booking left us without the food service we had arranged for our guests. I would strongly recommend getting written confirmation directly from management and verifying that your event is actually on their schedule before relying on Haven Hot Chicken's food truck for an important event. We were extremely frustrated and disappointed by how this was handled, particularly because there was no communication from the company that they would not be attending.
