Stopped in for a late lunch. The staff was friendly and attentive. Burger & Fries were well prepared and more substantial than a fast food burger. Price was reasonable and ambiance was very pleasant. Will go to again when in the neighborhood. read more

Food is delicious and ample! Service always good Nice, small restaurant with a bar I would recommend read more

This restaurant really surprised me; the food was warm and delicious, the drinks were awesome, and the service was amazing. The food arrived in a timely fashion, the service was great - our waitress was super kind - and the small selection of beers really impressed me. My friend and I split the potato skins (there's only 2 pieces but they're good!), and we also enjoyed a Buffalo chicken wrap (a bit of a kick). The flourless chocolate cake was the best part... I was most impressed by the spaced out dining room and service. Definitely coming back!! read more

This was our first experience, and we'll be back! First my Old Fashioned was fabulous. I loved it. Our entrees were so good (Avocado flat bread and Manwich), but the flourless chocolate cake was to die for. As I said, we'll be back. read more

The nacho platter was very delicious! The nachos were tasty and it was one of those nachos that were strong enough to hold everything and not get soggy. They used good quality ingredients and the steak was juicy. Hubby liked his Old Fashioned as well read more

I come here weekly/ bi monthly for lunch. I was a patron even when Covid was still a thing. I came here when I was the only here. The food has always been fine....prices reasonable. The service has always been adequate at best. Today I ordered chicken and when it came it appeared not fully cooked with lots of red around the bones. I pointed it out to the server and was told all the chicken is pre cooked and the red is just blood that gathered around the bones. hmmmm well still it was unappetizing... bloody chicken yuck. After a bit of back and forth she agreed to cook it more. Now it's been over an hour since I ordered. This visit has been disappointing to say the least. I suggest to not order chicken here. Now I have to decided if I one bad experience is worth picking another lunch spot. There is a City Works in the same parking lot. read more

I got the regular burger and it was perfect. As good as it gets. The fries were good but not great, a minor opportunity for improvement. Overall the burger brings it up to a 5 star for me. The service was also excellent! read more

Great sit-down, American restaurant. Think Applebee's with a 10X more delicious menu and clean interior. Good portions and flavors. The namesake pot roast was so juicy and worth a try. Left full and very satisfied. Will definitely be back to try the soup version next time. A welcome addition to the area! read more

Poutine! Pot roast sliders! Lovely interior. Good service. Can't wait to come here again.

Great little place in Wheeling. We are at a table but this place seems to have a big local bar crowd of regulars. We tried the burger, pot roast sandwich and kids tenders. All were pretty good. I would definitely go back. Service was very attentive and polite. read more

Went for first time last night, while attending to see the band across at Wheeling town center. The food arrived cold and was tasteless. The service was awful. So many other places to enjoy, this place was disappointing. Ambiance is cold and not friendly. Never again. read more

Went with family last night for dinner for there opening Wow food was amazing Started with potato skins and cheese curds and couple cocktails ( bartender was on point) Ordered the mac daddy burger it was awesome Owner had us sample bacon wrapped meatloaf will definitely have that next time . Wife and kids enjoyed there food as well read more

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere. My husband had the pot roast and I had the quinoa salad. A bit pricey, yet very yummy.

To bad it Needs to be known she is unprofessional you don't hire someone then tell a person that they aren't qualified after a whole week of training. Sorry it's my opinion she swore when the owners were not there the most horrible experience. I worked at one place for almost 15 years read more

The food is ok. It has gotten better since they changed owners I would give them a try

Great menu, gluten free choices, good atmosphere. Wing deals on football days with drink specials

All around awesome place to go for lunch or dinner. Food was delicious (I had the fig burger-amazing) and the staff and ambiance were one of the best I have experienced in the area. My husband and I will definitely be back! read more

My family and I have been there three times in the last month and a half if my math is correct. And I cannot say enough about the fresh food how delicious it is. How great the service is and how friendly the ownership is. It is a great, great dining experience and I think it's one that anyone who lives in the area. It may be off the beaten path a slight bit and it might be difficult to find, but I suggest you look for MP read more

First time at restaurant, local resident enjoying music in Wheeling town center. Service: excellent: polite attentive and quick. Food: Burgers were pretty good until I bit into burger and pulled out a long black hair. Manager was a coward, didn't address the issue with an apology, gave a $1.50 discount for this gross experience. What a joke! Result $48 check plus $10 cash tip for great service. First and last time at this place. read more

Service is fast, food is good, and the happy hour deals bring us back often! Get the fig burger!

We stumbled in this place to grab dinner before a movie. I should've realized it was the wrong call when I walked in. I mean, across the street from a movie theater and pretty empty on a Saturday night? But, unfortunately, we stayed and had mediocre food (meatloaf & burger), awful drinks (like has this person ever made a drink before?), and most importantly, the place is just depressing. Oh, almost forgot the rude staff.... I wish someone would've warned me, so here's my warning to you. read more

Our 1st visit there, & it was for carryout. The order was done very quickly. It was a pulled pork sandwich with house made potato chips, the blackened salmon, & steak with vegetables. The food was decent, except 2 out of the 3 dishes were HEAVY-HANDED with the salt by average restaurant standards, to the point of distraction. Someone on staff might want to taste-test the rice & pulled pork, maybe other things. read more

Well you can get plenty of meat and potato dishes in this restaurant this is a nice fancy restaurant with quick service and a impressive interior. I ordered the Cubano sandwich and everything was excellent as was the refills of soda and the overall setting. This place is next to the movie theater and is the perfect place to catch a meal before or after I can't recommend this place higher and it is an overall enjoyable experience read more

Really good burgers! We each liked what we ordered (The Burger). I had a a perfectly cooked egg added to my burger! The burger was cooked perfectly. Fries were good. The nice room was made even better by having tv's volume turned down. Waitress was a bit off but did a fair job. We will go back read more

Excellent as always. I believe there's always a member of the ownership team present, and that makes a big difference on how your staff services your patrons. The pork tenderloin was delicious, and I have never had a bad meal here. And the whole plaza area is a fabulous place to hang out at with $8 movies next door at the Cinergy Theater. read more

Was excited to try great atmosphere but food was not good Ordered pork chop sandwich had no taste. Manager came over and actually said I like it sorry you don't Did not care Will never return Don't waste your money here when city Works is right across and so much better read more

Came for lunch, had the pot roast sandwich with fries. Nice atmosphere, all in about $25 with drink.

Here for the first time but not the last. Too many yummy choices to make. Really good, hearty and tasty food. The atmosphere is very relaxing, and the restaurant is very clean. Service is quick and attentive. May sound weird, but not having to ask for drink top off/refresh go a long way with me. It shows me that the customer matters!!!! The Mediterranean Dip appetizer to start was the right choice. Flavors mixed so well and easy to share. But i may have to get my own next time so not to share..... my neighbor kept mentioning the goodness of his bacon wrapped meatloaf sandwich, and my Texan Mac had a nice bite with the Jalapeños, BBQ sauce, shoestring onions and pulled pork. Thank you Meat and Potato Urban Kitchen for the the first time experience. Looking forward to more. read more

always at MP: enjoy delicious food, exceptional service, and an excellent location just around the corner.

It's been a couple of years since my first review, and I am so happy MP Kitchen is still serving delicious food, and providing excellent service. Have been adding friends & family to the Fig'n Awesome Burger Fan Club- please don't ever take it off the menu! read more

Very impressed with not only the service but the food. Highly recommend this place. Head over and check it out read more

Meatloaf was good and tasty but I can tell instant potatoes when I taste them. That was disappointing for restaurant named meat and potatoes. I think the owner was bartending when I was there.....seemed friendly. Our server, I'm sure she is a nice person, but really struggled with communication as English is not her first language. The language barrier made it hard to interact and thus we didn't get a lot of friendly banter. For the price we paid, I'd expect more...including real potatoes. Maybe it was an off night, so willing to try again. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Great food, great service. I had grain bowl and the chicken was plentiful, moist, flavorful. Husband had chicken club with homemade chip which was fantastic. We can't wait to come back with neighbors and family. Keep up the good work. read more

I would discourage anybody ordering here, for unfair practices-we were going to order through door dash and the entree was 3.00 more then the menu, does not include the added fees besides! No other restaurant raised the fee cause of door dash- read more

The pot roast sandwich is the best! Highly recommend you try. And the half chicken dinner is another favorite.

2 dinner entrees over $50, pickup. My meatloaf was overcooked, dry and tasted bad. The mashed potatoes tasted instant and were gummy. Veggies looked great but were not cooked well with no seasoning. Fries were decent. Unseasoned pot roast was edible. They forgot to give me rolls. Not even close to being worth the cost. Will not return. read more

Very disappointed because the food was good, customer service not so much. Our waitress barely greeted us and just asked if we were ready to order or not. My son ordered the pasta with vodka sauce. This dish is normally served with Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, basil, and parmesan. This dish is $19.... only comes with a tiny piece of bread, by the way, and the bowl was 1/3 full. When the bill came, I went up to the hostess stand because we hadn't seen our waitress even ask her about why the price was the same without 3 ingredients served. In fact, we had to ask the manager for water refills earlier because our server was so inattentive. When I went to the hostess stand and expressed my concern, I was told, "I'm just the hostess. You'll have to talk to the manager. " Really??? I've never heard an answer like that from a restaurant employee. So, she gets the manager who proceeds to tell me that's the price regardless of customer modifications. Unsatisfactory answer!! My son, being a picky eater, has modified dishes elsewhere, and usually, it's the restaurant that will modify the price. Would it have been so difficult to knock off a few bucks?? Because of her inflexibility, I'm writing this review, and we won't be going back, nor am I recommending that anyone spend their hard earned money here!! read more

I ordered the avocado flatbread which was amazing. My food was ready quickly and the staff was nice

Picked up some food from here tonight and was really pleased with how good it tastes! Owner was really nice as well! I recommend :)

Thank you Carl for making our first time at the restaurant unforgettable! The service was amazing and the drinks surpassed expectations. Will definitely come again read more
