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.
Darlene M.

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.

It is…read moresome of the creamiest, smoothest, and most refreshing ice cream I've ever had, without even a hint of artificial taste. According to their story, it's all naturally produced from the milk of their 300 cows housed at Arethusa Farm in Litchfield, CT. The menu is packed with delicious and interesting flavors, and taste-testing is gladly allowed. My daughter got a cup of the mint chip, while I opted for a waffle cone with sweet cream and chocolate. Both were absolutely delicious. The ambiance is that of an upscale ice cream spot. The interior features a bright, clean, and welcoming black-and-white design, with framed photos of their farm cows lining the walls. There is no traditional table seating inside--just two benches and some standing room--so it is mostly an order-to-go setup. It is also conveniently located right around the corner from the Yale University campus, making it a perfect treat to enjoy while walking. The service can be a little on the slow side, but that's likely because they graciously let everyone sample flavors. The employees are incredibly friendly, engaging, and informative about the shop's most popular scoops. An absolute must-visit in New Haven.

Late July is peach season, and the sweet aroma of peaches blends beautifully with the natural richness of milk. The first taste is the sweet and sour peach, with fruit pieces bursting like popping boba, followed by a rich and mellow fruity aroma that instantly transports you to an orchard. All of this is built on a rich and natural milk base. Butter Pecan: A spontaneous choice. Overall, it's slightly salty within the milky flavor, with pecan nuts as a topping, making it a rather full-bodied one. Fortunately, it's not too sweet, so it's not cloying, and the slight saltiness adds a nice touch. I thought it was just okay, but my parents loved it. Sweet Cream Chocolate Chip: Apparently their signature flavor. The sweet cream wasn't actually too sweet, but the cream was very rich and fragrant; the real sweetness came from the chocolate chips, which burst in your mouth with every chew, and even just a sample was slightly cloying. The staff were very friendly, proactively offering recommendations and samples. Taking a break with ice cream while strolling around campus and the art gallery is definitely a great experience.

Employees mainly keep to themselves but are super friendly and helpful if you have questions or ask for recommendations. There is plenty of seating inside but a lot of customers grab and go. I've been to the location several times at different times of the day. If you're looking for the most varieties available I would recommend coming and staying around 10am. Since they have to bake and individually wrap many of the items, they typically restock around that time daily. The only thing I wouldn't recommend unless you like hot dogs are the "sausage" options. Fancier named but a tad on the disappointed end. The mushroom onion cheese pastry was delicious!! I love that their drinks aren't overly sweet either.

You need a code for the restroom and there is only one single stall. The code is on the bottom of your receipt. I really like that each thing lists ingredients and calories. I love when places do that!

We got lucky with the size of the line when we arrived but it seems this place tends to have an insanely long line down the street, so prepare to wait a bit. I had maybe a 5-6 minute wait in line and that was more than okay with me, you can't get mad at a place for being successful. Although this place doesn't have an insane selection of soft serve flavours, they do have a solid amount of sundae options, but I was here to try that vanilla and chocolate twist cone. I'm a simple man who loves a simple soft serve and this place didn't let me down. The ice cream was very creamy, had great flavour, and truly hit the spot for soft serve ice cream. Overall, Elana's on Orange is a fantastic spot for soft serve ice cream and somewhere I would absolutely enjoy again in the future. New Haven has a good amount of ice cream, but this place definitely runs the soft serve game.
