I had an excellent view of the old church clocktower. The restaurant is clean and remarkably spacious for such an old building. It was bright and cheery. The bar downstairs felt cloistered but I only passed through. I had the Scotch egg and fish and chips, along with some local ales. I only had 2 days in England and I feel like I got the exact meal I had been anticipating.

The restaurant has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and serves up an American-style BBQ menu. Portion sizes are big and the quality of the meat is never in doubt. On this visit I discovered their chicken wings, which have to be the best chicken wings I've had in the UK, and I'm struggling to remember any wings sampled in the U.S. that would beat them! The secret is definitely in the coating - I'm just gutted I didn't discover them sooner! Their southern fried chicken burger is my favourite burger from here, however unfortunately on this occasion they served it with blue cheese on top rather than the regular cheese I asked for. No problem though, they were more than happy to make a fresh burger which was just as delicious as always. The Surf, Bird & Turf Combo and BBQ Ribs are also great choices. My biggest plus about this place though is their fries; the best fries I've ever eaten. Consistently awesome on every visit, beautifully crispy and well-seasoned. Big 5 stars from me as I've had 5 fantastic meals here, and they have Brahma on tap which is a bonus.

Pulled pork was a new addition and we ordered a Chicago pulled pork burger and a mushroom Swiss burger. Burgers start at £8.95 and include salad, fries and slaw. Our orders were taken quickly -a good sign as the place was packed. The food arrived in minutes, was piping hot and freshly prepared. Everything was homemade (except the frozen chips which I can forgive as they were straight out of the fryer and crisp). Not gourmet burgers but very good and great vfm; with a Bottle of Kaliber and a chocolate icecream shake it came to £23. From pulling in to pulling out, we spent 45 minutes here. What's not to like?

This nearly got itself 5 stars, but not quite there...yet!…read more Meat & Shake was on my radar as soon as it opened in Ealing, it's near enough my local! We finally got round to giving it a try, and in all honesty I wasn't sure what to expect. The place has mixed reviews, and I had my reservations. I don't think my opinion of a place has changed as quickly as it did here when our starters came out! My doubt turned to joy at the first bite of the hot link sausage, closely followed by an amazing Buffalo wing...I knew we were on to a winner! Mains wise I had spotted one of the best looking ribs I had seen in a long time, so asked the waitress for the same thing. My partner went for a burger and we added chips (with balsamic and mayo)and mac n cheese. The ribs were as stunning as they looked, full of meat, juicy, tasty and all round heaven on a plate. The burger was good, but if you want the best burger in the world go elsewhere. it's the BBQ side of things that make Meat & Shake stand out so I really suggest sticking with that...chicken, ribs, hotdogs etc The chips were amazing, I had never even seen chips with balsamic on before, but after these will be covering them in it in the future! The Mac n cheese was average, nice but in all honesty we didn't' need it...the portions were big and we were pretty stuffed! So food wise this is one of the best meals I have had for the price range it's in, and will 100% be going back. The only thing that really let Meat & Shake down was the service, and it wasn't just us. 3 tables around us were moaning to each other about it as well. The issue wasn't staff themselves, it was clearly there was not enough of them. We waited ages to order, and in the end skipped dessert before I aged another week myself. It's a simple change that would have given this place 5 stars...get some more staff on busy nights, and organise them better! In summary, give this place a visit, and you won't disappointed! Maybe just avoid the hot sauce, as it's lethal!

Thankfully the food was really good. Highly recommend the Hot Links sausage. Most of the bbq sauce stuff is quite fruity which isn't my vibe usually.

Yes this is a chain, but it puts American chain burger restaurants to shame!…read more We went for a late lunch and there were maybe 2 or 3 other tables, it somewhat surprising as it is located in (what I think is) the downtown area of Southampton. We were greeted right away and we could sit anywhere. The dining area is large and is intended to reflect the American '50s era diners... I love the British take on Americana, it's so cute! In Milwaukee terms it was definitely "kitschy." The view of the castle wall remnants and new architecture was amazing! My husband and I ordered a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and chicken tenders to share. WOW! This was most definitely one of the best burgers I have ever eaten!! In England, the meat is locally sourced - and cows are happy. This is most definitely reflected in the quality of the food. Presentation was also perfect. Chicken tenders were also amazing, not greasy and amazing light breading. The house beer, "Byron Beer," was my husband's favorite of all 10 days we spent in England. It was light yet really flavorful! Even a non-beer drinker would like it. Our waitress was so sweet, it was fun talking to her. I wish I knew their burger recipe secret so I could replicate it at home - I really think it has to do with the fresh ingredients :) I would most definitely come here again and would try other locations as well. 5 stars!
