Great visit! I sat at the bar and received excellent service from Julie and enjoyed Ice cold craft beer and award winning burgers. What more do you need. A Great Visit! The inside - Out Juicy Lucy was my choice. A great choice I must say! A Delicious Juicy Masterpiece. Juice was dripping all over. Good thing for the Napkin Box arms distance away. Definitely an Award Winning Burger! Meat Eatery and Taproom hit all the marks I look for when I'm out and about in the moment looking for a great spot to dine. Featured on Diner Drive Ins and Dives. Come check them out. read more

This place is famous (chicken wings & chicharrones ) and oddly never super busy maybe I just come at the right time. The food to me is always good. Duck fat their secret trick for delish zucchini and regular fries. My favorite is the chorizo burger and my hubby does tumor has a brisket. There's a cheesecake and hubby got brisket cheesesteak. I just think if you're going to cheat and have an unhealthy meal it should be worth it and this place is. Plus they have good beer. I love the music they play and the rustic old style diner vibes. You order up at the counter. PS get the mango ketchup so good. read more

I went here to pick up my birthday burger (if you are on their email list you have access to this). I went in and didn't know which burger I was going to pick - I ended up ordering the "Inside Out juicy Lucy"- 6 oz pimento cheese and bacon stuffed angus burger with american cheese,, lettuce and tomato! and had no idea what to expect! It was delicious! It came with a choice of fries or coleslaw- we opted for the coleslaw. It was delicious. Just so you know, they have been featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives." So they are very popular. It is located in a strip mall and you can park right outside. It is a very casual place. I love the decor in this place. It's very hip and festive. I want to come back to try their pulled pork, salads, wings and more!! Give it a whirl-you won't be sorry! read more

Stopped in here for a bite while in Boca Raton on business for a few days, and OMG; it has changed my life. No, seriously. I ordered the "Nancy Pants," their take on the classic American cheeseburger. Not only was it seasoned to perfection, but this 1/3 of a pound burger was cooked to perfection, and resulted in multiple mouthgasms. That's right, I said it, and I am not ashamed. It will make you shout "I will have what he's having" (#megryanwasright). Oh yeah, three more words: Duck. Fat. Fries. #mikedrop P.S. next visit it will definitely be the inside out "juicy Lucy". Yes, it is as decadent as it sounds. read more

Delicious. We hit up this burger bar on a mission to try something new. We checked out Diners, Drive Thrus and Dives first and started off the night with a cold one and some house made chicken wings. We then had the Inside Out Juicy Lucy served with fries and house made ketchup, beer battered mustard and Mayo. Great time! FAU was playing Kansas State on the tv in the background and everyone was having a blast as they progress to the Final Four! Good times! read more

Excellent burgers and atmosphere ambience. Surprising a decent little strip shopping center restaurant with a few choices of micro brews, a happy hour and they have a customer loyalty program. We had a Fancy Nancy, Burger from Hell, duck fat fries. Skip the desserts, not that good but the burgers are fabulous. read more

We went from every Sunday takeout customers to not being customers at all Forgot the pickles which they charge extra for. Everything is extra here . Burnt burgers , burnt bacon , inedible and we are a half hour away. Travel time wasn't worth the risk again. Who would want to eat what's in these photos. Messaged with the owner who said he had new ppl in the kitchen. But he was out of town. Why would you leave cooks who can't cook in your kitchen? It is always empty , now we know why read more

Came in around 1:30pm on Monday, July 3rd. Good crowd for a late lunch, but still ample seating. We chose to sit up at the bar. Very friendly and quick service. We ordered a couple beers, their insanely good (and famous) wings and split the juicy lucy burger. We ended with trying one of the adult milkshakes and wow, that was unreal. Lastly, the vibes are great, sorta gives sports bar vibes with multiple tvs, but has a more warm/local feel too, and the place is very clean. Definitely check this place out! We will be returning. read more

We were in the mood for a good burger for lunch. So of course I searched my Yelp bookmarks. We came here -- having no idea that they'd been featured on Diners, Drive ins and Dives. The place is in a non assuming strip center on the west side of federal highway. There's parking right out front. Inside, it's casual with a bar/counter and tables along the opposite wall. You order and pay at the counter. They do bring your food to you at your table. The four stars are solely for the burgers. We both got singles -- mine plain (no cheese) with a lettuce wrap and coleslaw on the side. His with tomato and upgraded to blue cheese (it comes with American) and French fries. They bring two different "sauces" -- a mango ketchup and a special caraway mustard. Neither appealed to me. The fries were just okay and so was the coleslaw. But the meat in the burger was seasoned perfectly and delicious!!! And I didn't add anything. It may seem a bit expensive -- a single is just under $10 including one side; However, we have paid a lot more for yucky burgers over the years. There are a number of different burgers. A lot of cheese choices and special sauce choices as well. If you don't eat beef, they have pulled pork, chicken, salads and even an "impossible" burger. Wings, too. And besides the regular fries, there's a truffle one and duck fat fries (which sounded intriguing if not caloric) ,as well. So next time I want a really good burger... I know where to go. read more

I wish I could be there every day for lunch, truly. Great place with friendly staff and great vibes, but the food is UNREAL. I got a daily special I think was called the Cowboy burger that had brisket on it and it was AMAZING. I also got the bread pudding while I was there, because of the burgers were that good, I knew dessert was going to be just as stellar! Spoiler alert: it was. This place was highlighted on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives for a reason, head over there whenever you can!! read more

Stopped in yesterday and were immediately welcomed by Christina who not only answered any questions we had as first timers, but also provided us with excellent service throughout our visit. We ordered the Inside out Juicy Lucy and the Cowboy Burger, both Burgers were delicious and of high quality ingredients and very flavorful! Towards the end of our meal Chef George came out to see how things were and Thanked us for stopping by. His passion for cooking shows in every bite, via his creations. Customer service here is above and beyond will surely come back. Also, they have since relocated from their old location to a shopping plaza right off Federal Highway. read more

Came here for the first time for lunch and loved it! It's got a low key vibe, indoor and outdoor seating (located in a strip mall), and delish food.

The burgers are delicious for sure and a nice selection of beers on tap. We love their new location that you can see from Federal Highway with plenty of parking. The staff is super friendly and our lunch was brought out in a reasonable amount of time. The only negative, which I will never understand about restaurants, how can you run out of food/drink so early in the day? To run out of Diet Coke, can't someone run to Publix to get more? Makes no sense to me. read more

This place is AMAZING! The food is incredible. We got the brisket cheesesteak, onion rings with cheese dip, and cheeseburger with pimento cheese added to it. I absolutely adored every last bite of everything we ate. My boyfriends cheesesteak was divine also! So let's talk about service: they were so nice, friendly and attentive! Constantly checking to see if we needed anything else and just being very amicable. The restaurant itself is too cute! Very kitschy and one of a kind. I love all of the decorations and the TVs. My boyfriend especially loves the TVs haha! Anywho, we got 3 entrees, one appetizer, and 2 strong beers all for $80! If you ask me, that's a win in my book. We will definitely be coming on Wednesday for the $5 burgers!! read more

MEAT Eatery And Taproom - Haha! - Burgers Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Used to be a great spot to grab a burger. Juicy Lucy was my favorite. Sad to see this restaurant go so terribly downhill. Couple of weeks ago, we stopped by and were repeatedly told that the restaurant was out of various items. From wings, to soup, to balsamic dressing, to olive oil (for salad)... the reason we were given was that "they had a busy month". We decided to give it another chance and return and this time just ordered burgers. Unfortunately even the signature item of this burger joint had gone terribly downhill. My favorite was always the Juicy Lucy which is supposed to be stuffed with pimento cheese. This version of the burger was incredibly dry and with no pimento cheese in it, and just a small slice of cheese on top of it. To make matters worse when I asked the chef (who was walking by) if they changed the recipe as my burger had no pimento cheese inside he looked at me puzzled and said "maybe they just didn't put as much cheese in it?" If that's the attitude of the chef, can only imagine how the rest of the staff feels... Drinks are now served in tiny styrofoam cups, the restaurant is empty, no atmosphere to speak of, empty fridges staring customers in the face, just not a place you want to be... Not coming back. read more

Popped into MEAT Eatery just by chance on a Super Bowl Sunday around 1pm. Although the place was officially closed ( owner George Patti was there filling take out orders). He offered to cook us burgers and they were great! Above and beyond hospitality! We will be back! read more

It's a shame I've heard this restaurant has good burgers. But I have now been here 2 times and have been turned away. I understand the restaurant closes at 9:00 p.m. but the kitchen should not be closed at 8:40 p.m. twice. It's very frustrating to drive here, park my vehicle and walk into a restaurant with 20 minutes to go and I can't get a to-go order or sit down and have something to eat. I won't be coming back or recommending this restaurant. You can get a good burger at a dozen other places in Boca Raton. Don't support this bad service. read more

MEAT Eatery And Taproom - Inside - Out Juicy Lucy Burger - Burgers Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Pimento Cheese and Bacon stuffed in with a 6-ounce burger topped with lettuce, tomato, and American cheese. This burger has won burger in Florida in 2015, 2016, and 2017 and it's appropriately called did juicy Lucy As I took a bite of the burger, it definitely lived up to its name as juicy Lucy; there was an explosion of juices coming out of the center, my medium-rare burger was cooked perfectly. This is definitely a delicious burger, but I question it as being the best. For aside, I had the fries in duck fat, and to be honest with you, for the price of the fries and the burger, I would've preferred to see fresh french fries instead of frozen. In any case, I wasn't happy with the french fries, for a drink they served me a birch beer which was very, very good. I recommend giving this place a try because she won't go wrong; I'm currently in the middle of a burger crawl throughout the Tri-County/south Florida market. You can follow my collection and see who I see is the best burger in South Florida. The biggest downside to this burger was the limited quantity of meat compared to the price. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and I love the fact that they're very welcoming I will add they do charge an extra charge if you use your credit card, so bring cash and save a few bucks read more

We stopped in recently on our trip to drop her daughter off at FAU. We were looking for a good restaurant at reasonable prices, and found this place on yelp. Our first impression when we walked in was the smell of the place was amazing. We were greeted and welcomed by the hostess, who was fantastic. We ordered our food and it was delivered quickly and exactly as ordered. And tasted fantastic! While we were sitting there, the owner and head chef introduced himself, and we had a great conversation. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation of places to go when we visit Boca again. We are particularly excited about Wimpy Wednesday's with $5 cheeseburgers. Great price for a good burger, especially a poor college student! read more

Lunch time and we just happened to choose an eatery that was featured on DDD, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. A nice choice of burgers and other meat choices. I chose the single burger and added blue cheese. My burger came out the perfect Medium temperature I selected and was plump and moist! The blue cheese had a tangy bite and enhanced the flavors going on with my burger. The french fries were great too! (Next time I'm having the Duck Fat Fries!) Wonderful lunch! read more

First off I must mention that the service fast and friendly, and that the young lady working the counter and delivering food and beverages was terrific! Tried a couple of new things today for lunch. My wife had the Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich, which she liked and said that she would order again. I tried one of the specials, Brisket Cheesesteak. I would not order it again in its current state. Let me start with it is a tasty concept; it had a nice smokey flavor and good quality brisket. My issue was with the technique...the brisket was sliced in decently thin slices, but it was not easy or enjoyable to eat. Every other bite resulted in slices being pulled out of the sandwich, resulting in more meat than you intended to bite off, requiring using your finger to handle hot meat and cheese. Not that the M.E.A.T. professional cooks want or need my input, but if the brisket were chopped it would create a better mouthfeel and more enjoyable eating experience. I cringe at piling on and I apologize, but I was not feeling the Duck Fat Fries...they seemed like they were just frozen seasoned fries. If this is the first review of mine that your reading, do yourself a favor and read my others. I actually like this place. read more

We were excited to grab burgers as we were hanging at the beach, got fries, burgers and drinks + wine to head back to the water. I had seen the other reviews and that it was a good BBQ joint with amazing burgers. To say I was disappointed is a bummer. I love grilling and smoking meats, but this was a sad bummer for small patties & overcooked meat. Fries were still cold and undercooked inside. My daughter who loves a simple burger didn't even half, the chicken tenders she ate 2 of and we had to toss the rest. Service was great and friendly, ambience was classy and BBQ joint. I'm ok trying it again, but family isn't too excited. Will keep ya'all posted. 4 burgers, fries & onion rings, 2 drinks & 2 small (half sized) bottles of wine = $130 + tip. read more

Once upon a time I was a regular at the Islamorada location; and for good reason, great burgers, decor and atmosphere plus great staff. But this ain't the Florida Keys.... This is Boca Raton and in 4 years, I've been here just 3 times. Regardless of how good the food is, the location just sucks. Lobby of a bank building... that alone makes it (1) hard to find and (2) an odd place to eat (there are tables and bar stools in the open lobby). If MEAT Eatery were in a plaza (as they are located in the Keys) or in a stand-alone building I'd probably visit somewhat often but I find it uncomfortable. The decor (inside the place) tries to capture the same as the Keys location but have an open plan into the bank lobby reflects on the atmosphere. Despite the not-so-great location the food does manage to be rather good. I know the local competition, Tucker Duke's, is more popular but I happen to think the burgers here are better. The Inside-Out Juicy Lucy Burger... it's the burger to get; pieces of applewood bacon and pimento cheese INSIDE of the burger patty (hence the inside-out). I have not had it at the Boca location but if it's anything like the Islamorada location, then the Chicken Sandwich is worth checking out. WISH they would relocate to a more traditional and happening location... then, I would return more than just 3 times in 4 years read more

First time and definitely won't be the last! First of customer service was amazing. The young lady who served us was so pleasant from start to finish. Now for the food, it was perfection. Hats off to the chef! Burgers were cooked medium, juicy and not at all greasy. Fries we light and crispy! I highly recommend giving this little spot a try. Mango ketchup is a must & the chipotle mayo! read more

Visited MEAT Eatery for the last team social before my departure from the office. We actually discovered MEAT because of my director. We had been in the process of planning an event and wanted to have MEAT cater the food. Since we ended up having to postpone the event, we thought itd be nice to host our team social here - I'm glad we did. Kayte and Tom we're absolutely GREAT hosts. They tended to our every need. Katy was well versed in the menu and drink items. She suggested many different options for us to try which each one of us ended up ordering. The food came out fresh and hot. MEAT is a great place to watch the game or to spend time with family and friends. I would recommend this spot to others! read more

Went with my wife the other night. We shared the chicken wings and mac &cheese potato totters. I believe there seven wings. The wings had a very tasty glaze on them. Came with three different sauces. The wings had a just enough kick so we didn't try them. The mac&cheese was just as good. They were both large portions enough to share. The restaurant itself is not very big or very fancy. You order at the front and sit down. Inside or outside. They bring the food to your table. Refillable soft drinks and numerous wine selections as well as many beers. The owner Joey ( good name) makes you feel very welcome and is very attentive. read more

Went to the new location for dinner and was blown away as usual. I love the Asian style mac & cheese balls. The burgers were perfectly cooked and the banana added a perfect sweetness to my burger. The chimichurri sauce is out of this world. Definitely has an explosion of flavor in your mouth with a very good potato bun to go with it. The fries were perfectly fried with an excellent crutch and touch of salt. I love the specialty catch up at the restaurant makes. Great spot to bring your kids super low-key but the food is banging read more

Second time here. If you want to try a place where almost everything is made fresh there down to the Ketchup up and mustard you need to give them a try. A lot of the food is spicy but not burning your mouth hot. First, we got burgers, the wife got Dr. Jelly Finger burger. That is a burger, pepper jack cheese, bacon, onion ring, banana slices and blueberry chipotle jelly. She really like it wasn't my thing. I got the inside-outside juice Lucy burger which has a ton of pimento cheese inside and bacon. Wow, that really good! There was a reason it was the top burger for three years running. The second time there I had there Honey Wings. Good, but sticky fingers whiles you are eating. Got some of the fries cooked in duck fat, very good. For you beer and wine lovers, lots of good stuff to pick from. Go try them for yourself. read more

Saw it was on Triple D and gave it a try. Boy was it awesome. The Inside out Juicy Lucy was so flavorful. The House Pulled pork was moist and flavorful. Have to try both BBQ sauces with it. Opted for Onion Rings with each sandwich and they were crispy and crunchy. Perfect for myself and lunch companion. The service by Carson was great and very attentive to us. Spot on with everything. Had a great conversation with the owner and Gm and they as well were very welcoming and warm. A place well worth the visit and will be returning surely. read more

MEAT Eatery And Taproom - Nancy pants burger - Burgers Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Meat makes no attempt to be anything other than exactly what is advertised. It is a burger joint. It feels like a dive bar and it knows it's place is in the comfortable and quick. The duck fat fries are enough to clog your arteries but they're worth it. The standout here was the burger (surprise surprise a place literally called MEAT has good meat). It was cooked perfectly, juicy and extremely satisfying. It was on the smallish side for me but I am also a tall and lanky bottomless pit when it comes to food. The toppings were a little lacking but quite frankly that wasn't what the purpose was anyway. The waitress enthusiastically greeted me at the door and helped guide me through. She also worked the bar and had several other patrons happily staying drink after drink. Best suited I'd say for a night out watching the football game. They serve wings, burgers, and beer, with TVs lining the wall. The only reason it isn't five stars is because it was on the pricy side. But prices of meat are fluctuating right now so I could be out of touch within a month. Definitely worth a stop by, even has the triple D approval (diners, drive-ins, and dives). read more

Luv Impromptu lunches with my boys 1st visit to new location...although we would follow George Patti anywhere, this spot is convenient & vibrant. All covid protocols in place... Inside, outside, curbside etc. We chose our faves M juicy luicy (pimento cheese/bacon stuffed 6oz Angus burger), MW nancy pants (5oz Angus cheese burger)...both served w/duck fat fries and 5pc house made chicken tenders w/onion rings. I definitely appreciate they take & honor temp requests along with the manageable burger size & bun quality. These sandwiches were juicy, tasty & held up from 1st - last bite. Chicken tenders were moist and onion rings hearty. Thanks Kevin for the friendly service & congrats w/continued success. read more

I've had this bookmarked for a while but had not had the reason to go yet. Until the other day... Had to kill some time before meeting a friend. Since I knew it would be late before I would be able to grab dinner, decided to make it an early one. Searched the area on the Yelp app and found my bookmark. Got to the location my GPS took me to. At first it's a little confusing, since the restaurant is inside a business building. They do have a sign outside, but until you park you won't see it. On top of that, you have to walk to the end of the lobby area to find M.E.A.T. The other confusing thing is that you are looking for a restaurant but this looks more like a bar. Small inside, with about 4 - 5 stool seats at the bar, and behind that there's another open area (bar like as well) were you sit in stools as well. While I was there 3 people came in asking where the restaurant was not realizing they were actually in it. They have some happy hour items on the menu, like $3 sliders, and some wines and beers. I opted for a wine, and after looking at the menu went with the Inside-Out Juicy Lucy. This is a burger stuffed with Pimento cheese and Applewood bacon, topped with American cheese, lettuce and tomato. I asked for it without tomato and without the bun, with coleslaw on the side, instead of fries. There was only one girl at the counter, serving everyone, including phone, people ordering to go, and the people dining in. The kitchen seemed to be a bit understaffed too since my burger took a very long time to come out. The girl apologized twice for the delay, and checked on the order. The burger is advertised as Best Burger by various sources. Was it good? Yes! It was delicious, very satisfying, and really liked that they added extra lettuce to make it like a salad, and not leave me hungry or like I was lacking something for leaving the bun out. But "award winning", not sure. Maybe the lack of staff or the years that have passed since they won it affected the taste but again I was very happy with it, and even more with their homemade Dijon mustard that was and excellent dressing for my lettuce (salad). After an hour and a half, at a place I thought would be a lot quicker, I was done, ready to pay and go on with my day. The cons I noticed, the wait, the sometimes tired attitude of the girl working the counter (she looked like she didn't want to be there), the fact that leftover food was left on the counter for a while (again, short staffed), and the weird setup. Pros: good burger, good happy hour prices and daily deals, nice wine and beer selection, and you don't have to wait to be seated. Not dying to go back but it's an OK place to grab a "quick" drink and bite. read more
