I don't usually love meatballs but this place has changed my mind. Juicy, moist meat on delicious real bread, not crap potato bread. The sliders are filling and easy to eat. The Campfire milkshake is absolutely creamy and satisfying, and while the fries are not as good as many other places, the toppings are worth it. Their daily specials are varied and numerous so check them out. The ambiance is very casual but classy, very clean, with great big TVs to watch the games and the service, while a bit slow, is attentive and friendly. It's a classier sports bar, and great place to grab a drink, some tasty sliders and enjoy a good game. read more

Portions are large with a great choice of wine. Do not be deceived by the 4 meatballs. I underestimated the size of the dish and had to pack most of it to take home. Lovely restaurant with plenty of seating. Great place to go with a large group of family or friends. read more

That Meetball Place - Bars Near Me - Patchogue, New York

This place gets a lot of hype from my friends and I'm unsure why. I've eaten here a few times now, and each time the food as been mediocre. The service and atmosphere have always been good, but I've tried various meatball dishes, as well as some of the food my friends have ordered, and nothing has left an impression on me. I wouldn't mind going back to hang out, but my expectations for the quality of food here is not very high. read more

I went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Place was empty. Maybe because they don't have a lunch menu? Slightly over priced mediocre meatballs. Maybe I was expecting more from a place that specializes in meatballs? They are good but nothing to write home or rave about. Tried spicy marinara, marinara, and pesto... spicy was best. Typical pub bavarian pretzel was good BUT... the cheese sauce is an embarrassment... is it even real cheese? Gross. Good selection of draft beer. The place is huge. read more

I absolutely think this place is amazing. The meatballs are meatballs but pretty good as they serve them with different sauces to mix things up. My favorite is the sampler which allows for you to pick from various choices, chicken, beef, pork lamb and veggie. Then the sauces.. I'm sure they have one for you!! The beers on tap are up to par to a beer enthusiast! The bar gets packed around 9 and the 10 some live music on the weekends. Loud and fun .. Good place for friends and cheer ! Enjoy read more

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Our server Kat was awesome and the place is so nice. Definitely recommend!

This place was nice. We went during covid so there was glass in between tables. The meatball sub was delicious and I chose chips over fries which I wish I had chosen fries. It was raffle night or something when we went. Service was ok. I probably would try a new place in patchogue than go here again. read more

Meatballs are good.. little pricey but tastey.. drinks are also just okay. Decor is very pretty but a tad dark.

I love the meatballs and Mac n cheese! They make really great drinks as well. Fun place to hang out for happy hour or live music.

Went back to That Meetball Place this past weekend. I once again had the lobster risotto meatball with the spicy asian sauce because I liked it the last time. It was still really good, wish the sauce was a hint spicier though. We sat in the back area this time, which was a little quieter. The only issue was we sat right behind the service station. One of the servers reeked of cigarettes, badly. And the servers were bs-ing kinda loudly, but otherwise ok. Had the skillet cookie with salted caramel gelato..yum!! The manager stopped by to make sure everything was good, which I always appreciate. When we left, the bar was mobbed and a band was getting ready to play. Overall, it seems like they are getting over their growing pains and Patchogue has another great new place to eat and hang out! read more

The atmosphere is wonderful. It's nice and clean and the lay out is good for what they're trying to do. I'm new to the area and have been trying several places to see what's the best. This place was okay. I was hoping for more but i can see they try and care and I do appreciate that. Since there are so many places to try it'll be awhile before i go back to this one, if i ever do. We ordered two traditional meatball sliders, a chicken with mushroom sauce slider, and a spicy lamb slider. The traditional were good but not mind blowing. The chicken meatball was also good but the mushroom sauce tasted like cream of mushroom soup from a can. That was rather disappointing. The spicy lamb wasn't very spicy by any means but was again okay. I thought the prices were average. read more

The hummus in bed is very good for the starting course. The best thing that I've had there thus far was the risotto, broccoli rabe, fresh mozzarella and roasted pepper (I think) balls with no sauce. I like the decor a lot and I hope they last a very long time. read more

I dined in with a friend a few months ago. We heard about this place from a mutual friend and took the trip out from Huntington to give it a try, and boy are we glad we did! The meatballs really were fantastic. We've been back there a few times since and will be soon! Definitely try the meatballs, they are delicious! read more

This review is for the "night life" part not the dining Don't really appreciate waiting 45min for the bathroom just to be cut in line continuously. I became over it and went in to a bathroom with someone cutting me and just went. Not sorry about it. And not sorry they kicked me out. I was over it at that point anyway. Don't care who you are but have a little respect for people actually waiting to use the facilities. read more

Sat outside for brunch on a Sunday. The food was delicious and the manager was accommodating. I am a vegetarian. Was able to swap the lobster grits for beyond meat balls and grits it was completely appetizing. read more

I would want to give this place something between 3 and 4 stars. The concept is really fun and I like the selection of vegetarian "meatballs" but overall the food is more underwhelming than not. If you're looking for a place to dance but don't want the headache of lasers and EDM down the block at Public House, the music here can be fun (and occasionally live), but if you prefer something on the chill side and are avoiding overstimulation due to people, go somewhere else. read more

Just came from there from being the first time there. ILOVE the atmosphere in the way that the resaurant/bar is laid out. The staff is really friendly and attend to your needs. Went there for lunch so I didn't see the "crowds" everyone is talking about. The food was very good, yet a bit pricey. With that said, you do get what you pay for. I stuck to the classics and was impressed with what I got. For some reason I thought I was going to get small portions but I wound up walking away with a take-home bag. I'd definitely return to try a variety of meatballs and would recommend this spot to everyone. read more

I have been there twice. Once as a dinner date with my wife and another couple. The service was OK and the food was better. 4 of 5 on the meatballs, we had the pesto meatballs and the regular with marinara sauce. The atmosphere was cozy and clean. The friend-girl we were with said she had been the there on the weekend evening and the place was packed. When I was there for dinner, the place was only half-full. The Garlic bread was Awesome. It had melted Mozzarella and herbs that smelt as good as it tasted. The second time was at the Fall Fest on Main Street in Patchogue. Once again the meatballs were great. The clam chowder at the fest was OK. Overall the place is recommended and I will be going back. JC read more

This was my second visit here and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious as always. I had a sampler with two chicken meatballs and a vegetarian, excellent. The only complaint was the music was a little loud and our waitress service was extremely slow/near nonexistent. We did not see our waitress once after she took our initial order, it was all runners. We also had to flag someone down in order to get our check and cash out. Overall it was a good experience, my party enjoyed themselves and we will return in the future. read more

I can't begin to explain to you how excellent this place is. In the front, it's very much a bar atmosphere, but if you make reservations they take you to the quiet part. All the dishes are very shareable. I would recommend starting with a giant pretzel! The meatballs are spot on and taste as good or better than your grandma's! With a wide variety of beers, you will not leave here disappointed! read more

Fun place!! Came here for my bachelorette party dinner, no one seemed to mind all of my balloons The atmosphere was great- kind of rustic/ country with the wood and brick It was SUPER loud tho, we could barely hear each other Its nice that the restaurant is separate from the bar scene, but still so packed with people makes it hard to have a conversation The food was delicious- I kept it simple with autumn roasted veggies and a salad but all of my friends who got the heavier dishes loved them I would definitely go back.. its a fun place and a great play on words read more

I love the lamb balls and the lobster balls are alright. Certainly more of a bar or chill spot than a restaurant. For a place named after meat balls youd expect a little more wow in the Italian style balls, but I find them to be rather disappointing. The place is always clean and has a very sterile industrial feel. This is a great place to hang out and watch one of the many televisions while having a drink. Tough for me to sit down and eat with so many distractions. read more

Went here for dinner with the family. It was a decent place for kids. Although the food was good and waitstaff was great.

I gave this place two stars because honestly from the moment I walked in I had to wait at the front door for 5 min. Bartender was on her phone. W three bar guests, and only two tables sat ..my friend had to walk over to her and ask to get sat.. we also felt an attitude from her. Anyway our server, Ryan was amazing he was also training someone, food was great ... I also just witnessed a couple walking in. And the bartender looking right at them. And back to her phone. I manage a restaurant and I would never ever tolerate someone like this working for me. I came here because I saw it on news 12 and if they're paying for this advertising and then walking into this. Just horrible. THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS THERE .. She was on her phone. A manager even came out and she continues to use her phone. So I guess this is tolerated. I won't be returning. If it wasn't for our server Ryan, I wouldn't of even stayed !! HE WAS GREAT .. read more

My friends and I are in town visiting from Florida and heard this was a fun place. We showed our Florida ID's and the bouncer took my friend's ID and literally bent it in half. Florida IDs are not the same as New York IDs and when we got upset the bouncer said "it won't crack if it's real". Her ID is now ruined. We are all 25 years old, showed multiple forms of credit cards, insurance cards, etc. and were still denied entry. The staff was extremely rude and this place lost the business of 4 girls trying to get their vacation drinks on for the night. Horrible. read more

The staff is friendly and very attentive. Love this place. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend doing an event here.

Those bushmaster bbq wings are bussin. I risked it and went with those off an uber eats order. No pic on yelp but they were the only wings on menu. I'm a wing guy. Let me tell you they did not disappoint. I couldn't take a pic bc my phone was in my pocket while I was mid eating. I had to remain eating those things till the end. There were bacon pieces and crumbled blue cheese melted on these bad boys. 10/10 as far as I'm concerned. read more

I came in for a quick lunch and had a seat at the bar. Emily the bartender greeted me and made me a delicious margarita. I ordered the beratta ball salad and it was delicious I ate he whole thing and it was a large salad. I recommend stopping in for lunch it's not loud like in the evenings and they have 1/2 price happy hour. read more

I have been here multiple times to go out at night and I absolutely love it for the night life. They always have the best music at night and do a great job of making drinks at a quick pace. I think that they do a great job for the space they are given and is definitely the funnest bar in Patchogue. The food here is good, but not great. As you can already tell, they specialize in meatballs and appetizers which are very good. I wish their menu was a little more diverse, but it is very different from everything else in Patchogue. read more

I couldn't tell you how many times I've waited in line for this place. Actually I could. It's about 12 times but I've never gotten in. The bouncer or security guard, not sure which school he graduated from, always seems to implement a new dress code based on what I'm wearing that night. The first night he did not allow me in because I had a black tee shirt on. As I asked why this was I saw 2 other guys with black tee shirts on leave, they were probably being kicked out because of their faulty clothing now that I think about it. The next time it was because I had a Tommy Bahama tee shirt on. They told me "it's not that kind of night" I had no clue what that meant but totally understood what they meant. These bouncers are as good as that magical hat in Harry potter when it comes to sorting out who does and who doesn't get in. Another time I wasn't allowed in because I had flip flops on. It was 90 degrees out in the middle of July but I'm not one to argue with someone as powerful as the magic hat. So I wore shoes next time but wasn't allowed in because they said they looked too much like boots. They were boots and I commend them for noticing. I wish this place had a list outside as to what is acceptable to wear but I'd assume it would be longer than the iTunes terms and conditions page and no one would read it anyways. I guess that's the precision you get when you're dealing with an entity as powerful as the sorting hat from Harry potter. Oh and before I forget they also didn't let me in because I had my jeans cuffed up a bit. I told them I would undo it but I guess the damage was already done and they said you were here a few weeks ago you know the deal. I'm still unsure about "the deal" because I've never actually gotten into this place but when I do I'll post a picture of an appropriate outfit. Overall 5/5 stars because you can't blame the Sorting Hat. It possesses a power greater than us. Here's a list so far about what the hat doesn't allow in. Boots Flip flops Black tees White tees Tommy Bahama tees Cuffed jeans Light colored jeans Dark colored jeans Ripped jeans Jeans Shirts that say "I'm not a doctor but I'll take a look anyways" Sweatpants Bball shorts Socks that have the names of other establishments Jackets that have flasks Jackets that have vodka Jackets that have tequila Jackets that have rum Jackets that have whiskey Jackets that have gin Hats Baseball caps that dont still have the stickers on them Thrasher Hoodies A tee shirt that says the Simpsons on the back of it The color turquoise Shirts that use the racial slur Indian giver Now that I'm thinking about it why does an all poweful hat not allow other hats in. I shouldn't question his ways. I'm sorry read more

Place is always overcrowded, and the food is way overrated, everything tastes adequate but nothing amazing. Overpriced and super slow service, I'd recommend 5 other restaurants within walking distance right in the area instead of this one read more

Cannot express how far down hill their menu and food has gone. Was previously a fan but their menu loses perspective of the "meatball" idea and the food seriously stinks and made us all feel sick! Disappointed and when I mentioned it manager starkly remarked how after 7 years they had to update their menu. But if it's not broke don't fix it, cus now it's broke! read more

AWFUL. Honestly, one of the worst dinners I have ever had. I can't speak for the location in Farmingdale, but this one-AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. Started off with the wrong drink order delivered to our table and, from that point forward, all downhill. The food was GROSS with absolutely no flavor and the "meetballs" were TERRIBLE. If you're a true Italian you know never get meatballs out but we gave it a shot despite our gut instincts anddddddddd NO. read more

Great atmosphere! Fun place! Wish the menu was a little bit more extensive, but the food is quality!!! The lamb meatballs with yogurt sauce are great! Drinks were great! Went to a christening there also and food was great! Pretzel with cheese sauce were outstanding!!!! Great place! read more

Decent Atmosphere and okay beer selection, though a bit on the poor side when you consider the selection of some if its competitors like bobbiques, brickhouse, tap room, etc. Live music is good but EXTREMELY LOUD when the windows are closed. Biggest problem is that the layout makes it really hard to get a drink when it's busy. The food here is excellent but definitely on the high end of the price range, but hey, you get what you pay for. read more

The food is phenomenal, and it's a very unique concept: every entree is a kind of meatball, with whatever you want on it. But...it's so friggin' loud in there!! I can't hear the waitress and I can't hear the friends I come with. It does not make for an enjoyable evening when you have to shout every word and repeat half of them. read more

My boyfriend and I went to the farmingdale location the other day and I couldn't get over how amazing this place is! I ordered the make your own dish which ended up being a lamb ball with tzatziki sauce with side salad...probably the best lamb I've ever had in my entire life. My boyfriend ordered the sample trio which i knew he loved and one of them was a lobster ball which was spectacular (of course i had to taste it) Wait staff was super friendly and let us know about live music that they have a couple times throughout the week and liked how our waitress was giving us recommendations. I feel like this place would be great for a first date, date night, guys night, girls night etc especially since there is an upstairs outside area. Definitely am going to go back. read more

Im here tonight at a Vegan Plated Plants event and they hit it out of the park! Tasty yummy food and fantastic service. Ill be back!

Came in for Sunday lunch . Servers was great even thought I was referred by our server a lady (lol) I had my back to him and had my hair down I have been called worst . Food was enough with a hefty portion of pasta and 4 large meatball . I had the Lamb with hot marinara red sauce ( first time combo) which was good . Right consistency of flavor on the the red sauce but didn't really go with the lamb flavor . Thought my friend had the same and it was beautifully paired with their tzatziki sauce over a bed of zucchini pasta .( next time) My only disappointment was, I was not able to mix and match my meatball flavors since I get 4 per dish. Either a choice of Pork , vegetable , meat or chicken meatball. It would have been fun to eat all the explosions of flavors over a bed of pasta. Price was around $15 per dish . Your choice of meat , sauce and pasta . read more

Went on Sun. 2/12/17 w/ my boyfriend & another couple as a "Pre-Valentines's" Dinner. We we arrived at about 8pm....the restaurant was pretty empty. Nice decor & huge inside & large room in back to cater parties.... ANYWAY.... Our waiter seemed enthusiastic to start.. brought water & bottle of wine the couple ordered $35 & glass of what I wanted they ordered "apps/starters" while we still looked & then we tried to hunt him down to order a beer for my boyfriend who @ that point was ready to buy it @ the bar. Then when he came we ordered all dinners & 1 app...MiIND YOU....We were His ONLY TABLE....still took another 8-10 min. for the draft beer. Then the 2 meatball samplers they each ordered one & different balls. They were not hot...more like room temp. Not impresed w/ the CKN Gyro...terrible heartburn from the tezziki sauce which I never get (they let me try ) that ball was wasted.He brought our Bacon BBQ Cheese Fries App ( room temp. nothing to write home about) along w/our dinners which we both ordered the Classic Balls over 4 lg. Ravioli which came out w/melted mozzarella cheese.this was HOT...that why..(went in broiler) BUT was delicious ...he brings & says almost forgot Mac & Cheese....That was delicious....wish you could get just plain as an entire meal. So best 2 items....What bothered me NOW w/ waiter is him touching plates w/ food still on...not much but saying....are you done? Doo you need a box? Total turn off....YES...done now....so we let him take it through it out since nothing was worth taking home except my unfinished meatballs & ravioli....Tried pushing dessert we said unsure but doutful..he says decide BC I'm outta here @ 10???? WE CERTAINLY WON'T Be going back read more
