The BEST burger!!!!! I got the inside-out juicy lucy and it was the best burger I've ever had i never finish a meal because portion sizes are too big however I absolutely inhaled this burger and wish I had room for more. 10/10 you NEED to try this place

I’m in love with this place! The service person was awesome! The food was both beautiful and tasty - fried peppers & pickles, burgers, pulled pork, and zucchini fries abound at our table. Fast prep, clean as a whistle, and fair prices for what you receive. Thanks MEAT!

The wings were phenomenal! The fries were perfectly fried and seasoned. There's no weird aftertaste because they fry them in duck fat! The soup was good, the zucchini fries were yummy. The service .....Super friendly. Tiffany is just as friendly as she could be. These type of places are why small local businesses and mom and pop restaurants are the best. They have an impossible burger too for the non-meat folks.

Words can’t describe how delicious the House Made Pork Rinds, Inside-Out Juicy Lucy burger and made to order from scratch Mac & Cheese Skillet were at this place! You can hear the pork rinds crackling long after they set them down in front of you. The burger was just like the name, juicy! And even though I was full I couldn’t stop eating the mac n cheese! The staff were very friendly and attentive. There’s even salt scrub in the bathroom when you wash your hands! Definitely coming back to this place again!

It’s been years since we’ve eaten here, but it’s just a good! We had the Nancy Pants and Juicy Lucy and both hit the spot. Fresh bread buns were perfectly toasted and patties were juicy and flavorful. We upgraded to truffle fries and everything was delicious as expected. Service was attentive and we enjoyed our late lunch at M.E.A.T.

This place was AMAZING. Everything was homemade and fresh. My older son didn’t even realize he forgot to put ketchup on his burger until the last bite. By far the best and least expensive place in the keys for a delicious burger! We got the patty melt special w zucchini fries - burger with fries - Mac and cheese of the day(spicy sausage) - shaved roast hoagie Loved everything!!

Great Triple D hole in the wall! The bartender/server had a great personality and recommended all the best food. I wish this place was closer to home. I'm already craving another stuffed burger.
