Finally stopped in for lunch. Meat Moot has plenty of seating both chairs and couches. Lounge like vibes for sure. Menu or QR code and go up to front to place your order. We went with 1 lb beef ribs and 1 lb brisket both smoked. They have grilled options as well. You also get around 8 sauces and 8 sides too! Great service. Waitress was very descriptive with telling us what everything was from the sauces to the sides. When we got the proteins it was game on. The bone came right off the meat and probably was the most tender rib I've had in quite some time. The brisket had a great smoke flavor profile to go along with the crispy outer skin. Well seasoned just wish there wasn't that much seasoning on top of everything. All the sauces had their own unique taste. The sides were fresh and delicious too. We had so much left we took a ton home. Need to try the lamb next time read more

This location is just as good as the Michigan one. The family style with unlimited sides and high quality meat is always a very fun experience. The service here was friendly and the vibe was chill. Definitely a great spot for a group of 4-8. read more

Fall Off The Bone! We've been here multiple times, it is always a great experience! The staff gave good recommendations each time. The smoked meats are fall off the bone, so tender and delicious! It comes with unlimited sides and sauces. The meat is priced by the pound. You pay one price for everything. One thing annoys me is that there's few tables that they don't clean up after few customers left. Other than that, it is great (when it comes to food and service). read more

We had a nice lunchtime experience here. Right here in Burbank the famous Meat Moot Smoking. The staff was super friendly, and our waiter Aiden made sure everything ran smoothly. He was over the top attentive, polite, and genuinely welcoming! Great kid! I ordered the Lunch Special along with the 1.10 lbs of Beef Ribs! Man! Tenderness was impeccable! They were smoky with fullness of flavors! Definitely worth every penny. The lunch special was a solid deal. With tax, the total came to $85.44 -- fair for the portion sizes and quality. My family and I enjoyed our lunch. The vibe was relaxed with great tunes. Just a perfect for a midday meal. We will definitely be back, especially for those ribs and the great service! read more

So. Good. The food. The customer service. The table service. The atmosphere. All of it. So. Good. Went on a double date with some good friends. What an excellent experience. The spot is clean and I love clean. We requested a "show". I guess they don't normally do them that time of day but they did. For us. It was the coolest thing. The table service was so good. She was on it. And the food. Umm... yum! Oddly enough, the rice was my favorite. A good time was had all around. They do have a lot for parking. read more

All the food ordered was cold! The meat, the potatoes, the fries, the garlic, literally everything! Even the kibbeh was cold on the inside! I don't understand how smoked beef ribs and lamb shanks are cold. The taste of the food wasn't bad at all but I expected the temperature to be at least warmer than the room. read more

I went to meat moot this summer. Their service is horrible food is okay but the people are very rude. I wouldn't recommend this place read more

First time ever visiting a restaurant where you can openly tell their team is working to make sure you have a great experience. That is their number one priority and it is a breath of fresh air for dining in. The decor is cool and the food is delicious! (of course I would say that since I'm a hardcore meat devouring machine). Do not compare this restaurant to American Smokehouses or BBQ. This is a wnderful culinary trip that just happens to take place right here in Chicagoland. Call everybody and meet up at Meat Moot... every week. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - Jackpot! - Smokehouse Near Me - Burbank, Illinois

Omg, is all I can say. I never even heard of this place before I was invited to go there last night. My date almost chose to go somewhere in my neighborhood of Hyde Park but was worried the traffic on I-55 would be brutal because of the snow. After checking the time on maps (26 minutes) we went for it. We arrived around 7:30 and only one other party --a rather large one-- was already seated. Our gracious host, Mustafa, seated us and explained how the ordering process works. We check out the menu, figure out what we want and then head on over to the ordering counter. Meat Moot is a halal, smoked meat metropolis where the "Meatier" performs a spectacular show while plating up your order. The large party beats to the counter so we had to wait about 10 minutes to place our order, but we were treated to the Flaming of the Meats spectacle since they had such a large and varied order. And what a show it was. The "Meatier" retrieves the selected meats from the smoker and while they are still wrapped, he sets them on fire with a military-grade torch, then he unwraps the meats, places it on the scale then plates it up with Meat Moot's exotic spices and a healthy drizzle of honey. Next, the servers brings the platter to the table along with various sides, sauces and drinks (no alcohol served here). We ordered the brisket and beef ribs which were oh-so-tender and seasoned perfectly with a tasty, but not overwhelming level of smoke. We were happy and completely pigged out while still having enough left over for each of us to take home. At one point a photographer came over and all I heard was "free" and postcard" so I said yes. At the end of our meal she came back with the postcard and what looked like a program book from a concert, but with my pic in it, for $15. I didn't want to seem cheap but I just wanted the free postcard. But get your hustle on girl, I ain't mad. Three more large parties arrived while we were eating and everyone was having a great time. The ambiance and decor is not what you call sexy, but it's definitely warm and inviting. Mustafa was very nice and took his time explaining everything on the menu and checked on us regularly. I'd love to come back here for a GNO or with a large group for a special occasion. Gold Star for Meat Moot! read more

Everything could stand an update. I'll start with our Waitress or server was nice. The meat was cooked well but lacked flavor and seasonings within, although they throw some on top if you want. The sides were horrible and very bland, even the dressing on the salad or lettuce. The atmosphere gives a commercial restaurant chain vibe, very cheesy and generic. There was no fire show cooking the meat that has been advertised on the socials. It was the worst experience we have had in a few years. Have the two stars for the server and I had to give at least one star to post. read more

I would say this place was pretty good. It felt like it was missing something but honestly you can't go wrong with the brisket (add the seasoning and honey soooooo goood!). The servers were really good about checking in on us and seeing if we needed anything else. I would love to know if the sides are unlimited because there were some like the potatoes I would have loved to get seconds on. Overall a decent place I would definitely come back to for that brisket. read more

I have been in this place multiple times and the meat never disappoints. You just have to buy the meat and it comes with 4-5 sides and 20 different sauces. Great service too read more

One of our orders was beef brisk. We ordered 2 lbs. There was hardly any meat. Fat and bone. $100 down the drain. Never again. Waste of money. The lamb shank was very dry. It had no taste. I guess it has been in the oven for a long time. The Neck piece also had hardly ant meat. waste of money. Never again. read more

Greeting Foodzies, today we travel down south for all my southside FoodZies. We went to Meat Moot at 7990 s Harlem in Burbank. It's a moderate size restaurant tucked away in a strip mall. The interior is kind of rustic, but euro at the same time. The menu is used from a QR code as you enter the restaurant. Once you make your selection on your phone, you relay it to the people working in the service area. Once you choose what meat you want the rest is the same for everybody. They have a nice variety of different beef and lamb, cuts (beef brisket, beef, shank, lamb, shank, beef ribs). Each meal is served with different Indian spices on top, and surrounding your cut of meat are different types of peppers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic. Also included in your meal, our four sides you get mashed potatoes, a cucumber tomato, kind of pico de gallo minus the onion, arugula salad with some red onions and coleslaw. All three very flavorful the coleslaw is large cut and refreshing. The cucumber tomato salad is a diced cucumber and tomato with a light oil And the arugula with the red onions also in a light oil sauce. A company these dishes are eight different sauces each in their own individual cup for dipping, you have everything from Honey, tzatziki, barbecue sauce, a vinegar based hot sauce, yogurt, another chopped tomato sauce, a relish type sauce, and a turmeric sauce. Each of these sauces when mixed with the different types of meats brings out a whole new flavor. There is plenty of food so you will not leave hungry, the beef brisket, and the lamb shank were extremely tender. The only thing I found to be not so good was the potatoes were kind of cold and unevenly cooked; somewhere tender others had a hard skin and hard. Also, I would've liked a breakdown of all of the sauces when they were delivered; we had to more or less figure it out for ourselves. That aside, we will definitely be going back, we really enjoyed this meal. Another fun fact, all of the lunch meals are only $19.95 each and only includes the beef brisket and the lamb shank. The dinner on the other hand is $46.95 for each meal and has a larger variety of meat. I give this restaurant 5 stars. I hope you try it for yourself, and let me know what you think. If you would like to see the rest of the videos, follow me on TikTok (smoking papa) Ciao ciao for now. read more

Going to this place was a little outside of my comfort zone because I'm not familiar with this type of cuisine, but I'm so glad we went! The staff was very nice in explaining to us how to order. You wait in line and then order your meats by weight. If you were lucky like us, you got to see them do a little flame show. There's seasoning and a glaze they offer to put on the meat and I highly recommend getting this! Once you are seated they bring out the all the different sides. The flavor was awesome. Meat smokey and tender and we ended up with plenty leftovers that reheated pretty great. read more

So I've been dying to get to this place since I heard their only US location was iin the Chicagoland area. It was a different dining experience. I opted for the $19.95 lunch special which includes your choice of brisket or lamb shank, drink and unlimited sides ( ordinarily they sale the meat by the lb at about $45/lb with unlimited drinks and sides included). The dinner also had beef ribs. I will say this... the meat was very good. At the recommendation of the man behind the counter, I chose the brisket. It was more like a chuck roast, but if it was, it was the best roast I've ever had. I'll definitely return. The flavor of the meat was outstanding. Went with a friend who is vegetarian and she was able to just get unlimited sides for $7. I felt sorry for her bc the sides were just sort of a distraction. I almost forgot the honey drizzle they put on the meat! Sounded strange but I LOVED IT!!!! read more

Not sure where to start. I was so excited to try this place and it turned into a disappointment. Our food was cold, all the sides were cold, seamed as if the person that did come to our table was bothered by us asking questions and for additional sides. They did not do the fire presentation, we repeatedly said we had never been there before. For the price definitely not worth it. Nachos were a joke, barely any meat, Cole slaw was on them which seams odd. As we were finishing up we saw a line of people, and all of sudden they decided to do the fire show. We asked for another refill on the mashed potatoes. The server came and said there were none left it would take 30mins. We also asked for water and I was brought a carry out cup when I opened it there was all kinds of brown and black dots moving around at the bottom of the cup made me wonder what I was drinking the whole time I was at the restaurant. As we were paying there were plenty of servers bringing out the mashed potatoes to other tables, he just didn't want to give them to us. Will not be back definitely a disappointment and rip off!! read more

This was our first visit to Meat Moot. We sat down and they brought us menus. They are known for their meat by the pound with all you can eat sides of oven roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, lettuce and onion that they call a salad, coleslaw, rice, and sauces. We opted for a pound of brisket and beef rib meat nachos. Most of the items are gluten free, but when we asked our server about a specific sauce, it was clear they did not know and did not want to ask for sure after we questioned them 3 times in different ways. The food came out and nothing was hot - meat, nachos, both types of potatoes- just warm. While this was disappointing, the nachos were worse. Very little meat and poor quality cheese and chips I'd liken to high school nachos. The brisket was good, not great, and with all the different sauces, it was easy to find a few that hit for both of us. The server was bad. We felt like a bother to them. From not answering our sauce question, coming back for refills, and vanishing our last 15 minutes of dinner, it was frustrating. Just before the server's vanishing act, some music went off to gather people's attention.The person in charge of meats had a blow torch, was heating up the foiled meat, and opened it up to piping hot meat we never experienced. When I returned to my table I could see the meat on two different tables next to me with steam puring off of it. When the server returned, I asked for more mashed potatoes and was told they were out and it would take 30 minutes. At that point I asked for a to go container for the rest of the brisket and some more water. The server brought a to go water, which was nice, until I opened the cup to be greeted with black sediment at the bottom of the cup. Wow! We learned, after asking, we had to go towards the meat counter to pay for our food. We were asked for a table number we never received, and there was a bit of confusion before they found our bill. As I waited for that, I saw a beautiful dish of mashed potatoes, steam floating beautifully away from them, being swept away and taken to another table. What happened to the 30 minutes? This place was a disappointment for us but obviously better for others. So this tells me they are inconsistent in their quality, and they have a definite issue with their water. Who knows what I drank at this point? read more

Come here for the meat. It's amazing. We went on the 4th and it was not busy we were warmly welcomed and given a sample of the brisket. Unlike Texas style brisket this is more slow roasted and falling apart. If you look up the traditional Turkish Tandir you can see how it's slow roasted. With the meat they freshly seasoned comes tomato, sweet roasted garlic, potatoes, and peppers. My husband got Beef Brisket and I opted for Lamb Neck. The meal also includes spiced rice, salad and many sauces. I liked the dynamite sauce in particular. Only issue, it's about 55 miles from where we live. read more

It's so easy to see this nondescript place and think this is just another eatery. But taste their succulent, fall of the bone meat, and you'll know this place is SO. MUCH. MORE!!! The meat is seasoned to perfection. The hospitality is truly remarkable. The ambience is great. The prices may seem hefty, but keep in mind that the the price includes unlimited sides and drinks. The sauces are phenomenal. And the personnel are really hospitable, welcoming, professional, soft-spoken and sweet. The experience is really top-notch. I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough!!! read more

Interesting spot....friend suggested it. Friendly servers, nice and clean. Open space very different. That said. $45 by the pound for the meat. All the Meats were similar in price. What was most interesting was there was minimal small of food in the place. Fascinating! Hardly any aroma. I'm a grilled and if you tell me you have authentic smoked meat, I should smell SOOMETHING. WITH THAT SAID, we ordered the lamb ribs. Very, very moist, kinda fatty for me. The arugula salad and all the other add ons were interesting. Whole garlic gloves, first time I saw that, all the sauces were interesting, half I didn't use. read more

The meat here is very tender and well-seasoned. I got the beef brisket to share with a friend and it was plenty of food for two. Honestly, it could be enough food for three as there was some left over. The sides were very fresh, however, some of it was a bit bland/under-seasoned. Better than being too salty though! Overall, this is a nice casual place to get fresh, good quality food. read more

Came here to try their beef brisket! And it was soooo good. The meat was so juicy and flavorful. They let you try it before you get it and it was one of the most delicious things I put in my mouth. You just pay for the meat and they will bring it to the table. All sides, drinks, and sauces are unlimited and all inclusive with the meat. The sides include rice, salad, mashed potatoes, bunch of veggies. Wish they had fries and mac and cheese but everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend this place if you like smoked meats! And for sure coming back! read more

Really! A great surprise for a visit to Chicago Midway airport. Meat Moot is an international smokehouse franchise offering Halal meat, aka smoked Lamb and Beef. I enjoyed the lamb neck dusted with their spice blend and drizzle in honey. My copilot had the brisket. The sides come all-you-can-eat with an assortment of middle eastern fare. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the price. Yes, I know it's a smokehouse, but I was caught off guard. Next time make it more obvious what I'm paying. Even still, I'll be back. read more

Going to preface this review by saying this is easily a 5 star restaurant. The food is AMAZING. This is part of a chain present in other places in the world. The Meir niche is smoked meats. You enter, order the meats that you want, don't worry about appetizers because everything is included in the price of what you order meat wise. They do a little show for you as they weigh the meats and spice them. Everything is pre-cooked and smoked for 14+ hours, and stored in their ovens. We had 1/2 lbs of brisket, 1lbs lamb shank, and 1lbs of beef ribs. The meat is literally fall of the bone tender. Then they add all the appetizers to the nice stone trays, you pay and they take the food to your table. Very quick service and simple process. The food is phenomenal. Literally. Everything is cooked and spiced to perfection. The rice is authentic middle eastern. There are about 14 dips to try. My personal favorite having grown up with this kind of food is the yogurt one. We were 4 adults and 2 kids, and 2.5 lbs was the correct amount for us. The price is very reasonable. The value is there 100%. The place itself is very well appointed, with comfortable decor and furniture. Excellent job on all aspects. Need another location closer to us in the west suburbs!!! read more

CONTAMINATED/SPOILED MEAT !!! , ignorant manager , no air conditioning on 95 degree summer day , bacteria everywhere and fake 5 star reviews paid and bought by a marketing service . The place should be shut down and fined . SPOILED MEAT - READ CAREFULLY We went with 9 people as a family , ordered brisket , steak kebab, and new york strip. The steak meat and strip was absolutely rancid , it smelled so bad that the entire table of 9 could smell it . Almost made me vomit from the smell , the manager was quite ignorant to the fact that the meat didn't smell which was obviously a lie . I asked him again are you sure it didn't smell and he said he serves it everyday ( feel sorry for the ones that are regulars) . The quality has gone down the drain , the air conditioning was broken and the brisket was also not cooked right and half warm . I asked to flame it and he said the flame gun was broken to . Maybe the fridge is broken to huh ? DOCTOR VISIT and HEALTH INSPECTION I would highly recommend if you ate here recently to see a doctor or go on a stomach cleanse as meat poisoning can cause a lot of side effects . If you are about to eat here ask for their latest health inspection , certificates and please please make sure to think twice . If you are really desperate to eat smoked meat and it is a zombie apocalypse then sure go for it apart from that avoid at all cost. Remember meat and beef in particular should not have a obvious gamey and strong stench /smell after it is cooked on a grill !! LEGAL ACTION. After this review I am going to call the health inspector and shut this place down . If anyone in my family gets sick I will make sure I take them to court read more

Service was outstanding and friendly. Place was very clean. Unfortunately, there was a complete lack of seasoning on the meat and it was dry. Even worse, all of the 'hot' sides were lukewarm at best. Based on other reviews, it would appear that my experience was atypical. We were there @ an off-time so maybe that was the problem? But under the circumstance, I cannot justify going back. Since it was such an expensive meal, I expected much better. read more

Definitely not what I expected. Middle Eastern food, very tasty, the host was very helpful in helping me pick out an appropriate dish for two. Ambiance was good, clean place and pleasant. My son was expecting more of a smoked BBQ place but was not that. Meat was very tender and juicy, I loved the honey. All the sauce seemed a little extra not for my tasting. Coleslaw and rice were good too. Did not fully enjoy my food for the price $90 for two. read more
