This is my third visit to Meat Mission and its true what they say. Third time lucky! The burgers on my first visit left a horrible smell on my fingers for days, and I suffered food poisoning on my second visit. The third visit however was fantastic. We were given a seperate room for 12 of us with a great atmosphere and excellent lighting. I had the chilli cheese fries, and the man had a bacon cheese burger. The burger was great, cooked well and flavoursome. The fries were really, really good. Good heat on the chilli, cheesy, and tasty. I had the salted caramel milkshake, which was amazing, and I would highly recommend. Would definitely plan on a return visit. read more

Dead Hippy burger was really disappointing - indiscriminate flavours, bun a bit stale, and totally fell apart. Wife's chicken burger was worse yet, just a big mess of batter and sauce. Fries would have been good but for the heart stopping amount of salt - 30 minutes on and lips still burning. Daughter dropped a glass of water on the floor so I wiped it up using their paper towels - they were literally black after a quick wipe. Absolutely filthy. Plus draft beer sold in 2/3 pints - I don't need a fraction of a beer. read more

Out of all of the Meat Liquor branches around London, this one in Hoxton is one of the best. I love love love it! The food here is such a great price as I know full well that other restaurants charge £3-£5 for food that is not as good as the food they dish up in Meat Mission. Their signature Dead Hippie Sauce is delicious, a yummy mayonnaise rendition, and their fried chicken in their chicken burgers is so crispy and the chicken breast is so meaty and you know it's not full of water or bits of chicken you'd rather not be eating! Their chilli cheese fries were also very impressive! The chilli meat on top was full of flavour with tomatoes, and the cheese on top with jalapenos was such a great mixture of delicious tastes. The venue is unique too with great surroundings and friendly and helpful staff. Overall, I highly highly recommend eating here in the Meat Mission in Hoxton. Go for it! read more

When this place 1st opened it was the height of the burger craze and this was one of the best places to experience it. I've been here many times with friends and it's always good. I'm not sure it's quite as good as it used to be and they've certainly expanded aggressively all over London, but it's always a solid option. I've tried most of the menu and I can vouch for the slaw and the onion rings. Both are very good, perhaps the slaw wins. I also recently tried the chicken wings which were good- although I always thing messing up wings should be a crime. Other than that, you can't go wrong with the dirty hippy or the dirty chicken burger. I did however hear from one of my dining companions that the deep fried mac and cheese wasn't that great and that the sauce they put with it was a weird combination, so maybe stay away from that side! read more

Meat mission is a dim, dingy place with a Gothic stain-glass ceiling in Hoxton. Its a mixture of communal and booth seating. I had their dirty chicken burger with fries, both were good. Fried mac&cheese sticks were the best I've tried. Vanilla malt milkshake was malty and lovely but I felt not the highest quality of ice-cream had been used. Service was good except for 1 guy who was arguing with me about their reservation policy I had gone through myself and he was telling me things which weren't true. For the record, no reservations past 6.45pm. Monday evening was quiet enough for walk-ins though. His attitude, the small milkshake and the like warm chips mean I won't be back. read more

Their Dead Hippie burger has ruined me for other burgers. I can't tell you much about the other food there, because I keep ordering the Dead Hippie time and time again. It's that good. My first time there I forgot my baking tray at the bar (don't ask...), and so I returned the day later to pick it up. And that's the story of how I had the Dead Hippie burger two days in a row. It was a good two days, let me tell you. The place itself is also great - although it can be a bit loud for me in the evenings. But for people who are cooler than I am (I.e., people who don't bring baking trays for a stroll), it's definitely the place to be. read more

Well if meat is their mission I would say it's mission accomplished! Came here for a friends birthday and was delighted with what I found. I went for the good old cheeseburger, cooked to a lovely medium rare and served on a flavoursome bun with a pickle on the side. Great flavoured meat, well cooked and with very friendly staff it's a great place and well worth a visit! Meat mission comes highly JdRecommended!! read more

On my second visit, I continue to not really be impressed with this place. We arrived fairly early for a Friday, before 6, and we're greeted with "did you make a booking?". We hadn't, and after a bit of a glare, were taken to a table in the back room. Thanks! Tried a few cocktails which to be honest were overpriced and small with far too much ice. Burger and fries are always decent, but not amazing. The service is what really let us down. We were basically ignored and had to flag our waitress down for everything, then she got our order wrong as we'd asked for dead hippie fries but received regular. You'd think this is a quick swap, but the correct fries took so long we'd all but finished by the the time they arrived. Oh, and the waitress made it seem like our fault, instead of just apologising- massive faux pas in my book!! £50 for a couple burgers with unimpressive drinks and terrible service? No, just no. read more

All the greatness of MeatLiquor but a little brighter and a little quieter. (Sometimes you want to see the people you're eating with) Never not good, excellent burgers, bingo wings, and the more recent sambal wings are epic. Brooklyn on draft. And I've never once had to queue. read more

I've eaten at their other locations, but for this one I've only ordered takeaway so I can only comment on the food. I've had the Dead Hippie several times and can attest that it's still the best burger in the city! Modeled after In-And-Out's Double Double Animal Style, this is just an amazingly simple burger. They get everything right. From the bun and lettuce to the onions and secret sauce. And of course that juicy and charred patty. The chili fries, buffalo wings, onion wings, all of it is anywhere from solid good to amazing. You really can't go wrong but always coming back to that Dead Hippie. read more

I wanted to give this 5 stars I really did. However.. Good points: delicious food interesting options like 'fried pickles' you can buy a huge jug/bottle of beer to share over the course of your meal that (I think) they brew themselves?? convenient location (near Hoxton square) reasonable service the cocktails are very very strong Bad points: If you don't book you have an hr and a half to eat and go and are herded a bit like cattle and shoved in next to strangers (not good for a date) the music is sooooo loud you can't really have a conversation the chilli cheese fries have raw onions chopped in them, not fried. I'm not a fan of that. I'd go back possibly, because its quite fun, but it's more of a gimmicky place. read more

You know what is really satisfying? When things are hyped, and then *they deliver*. OHHAI DELICIOUS PERFECTLY COOKED BURG. I am not the first to bow down in front of the Dirty Hippy (hey-oh), but here goes my take: it was hella delish. Like, I ate there yesterday and now am craving one. Two, actually. I'm not going to add anything new to this discussion, so I'll just further exclaim that the burger was *perfectly* cooked. Like pink and juicy and run-into-the-bun-with-delicious-meat-juice perfect. Other things: The service is great, and sharp and on-point. I love that there are large paper towel rolls nearby because basically all food served requires it. Double thumbs up for the French's mustard. A few awkward things that aren't deal breakers by any means, but: the booths are great, but the "communal bench" seating can be tough depending on who you're sharing that bench with (see: if your neighbour rocks back and forth regularly in raucous laughter erm...you're kinda gonna be rocking back and forth, too). I had the sads that they didn't have deep fried pickles available yesterday (excuse to go again). And finally, as much as I "get" the trays, I find them awkward. The burgers are messy and you really just want to hover over a plate and get into it...if you have a group of 3 and one tray? A little awk. Yelp note: early Sunday night? Just the tiniest second of a wait. Plan strategically and no queues can be yours, too! read more

I just can't seem to quit the Meat. Even though I always leave MeatLiquor a bit disappointed and a bit poorer, they seem to put something addictive in that hippie sauce and I am drawn back in. So when we were in scoffing distance of Meat Mission, I had to go and try it. And I'm glad I did! We were there around 4.30pm on a Sunday. I thought it would be empty - but in fact, there was only one booth remaining when we got there, and the place was lively. And while the decor was pretty similar to MeatLiquor, someone had the genius idea to install a few lightbulbs. It was nice to be able to see both my dining companion and my food. How novel! I didn't like the bench seating, as the dude next to me was a wiggler, and was funny about me moving the bench out so I could get in without climbing over it (I'm as graceful as an ox), but once we were settled and I got used to feeling like I was on a boat, I was golden. The food was similar to the other Meats, tasty but a little underseasoned (come on, guys, stop being scared of salt and pepper, or put some on the table!) and I hate the stupid metal tray. But it was overall a tasty burger, with good service in a trendy place that wasn't too trendy to make me feel dumb, and I left pretty happy. read more

We had a PandaPay test event here few months back and the staff were extremely nice and professional. Lot of places when I ask for a virgin bloody marry they first look at me funny and then I get just tomato juice, not here! They really made me a superbly delicious bloody marry with all the stops. For food I tried their Greek salad with "house recipe" and wings, superb as well and served real hipster style on old school plates. I'll be be back here for sure ... :) read more

I loved this place!. This is the first time I've seen anything like this. The theme of the restaurant is epic. There are Chilli Challenges, which you can try. So this is more like a burger place which serves great choice of drinks also. I had a Red Chilli cheese burger. It was really good. Juicy and amazing with a little bit of spiciness. Loved it. I didn't go for anything else like fries as I thought it would be too heavy. The burger wasn't as big as I expected but it was filling though. I chose a drink that I had never tried before that day. It is called Bitter and Twisted. And just as the name suggested it was bitter towards the beginning and the taste got twisted into something sweet as you gulped it. It was like a mix of beer and ale. There was a sort of milkshake I wanted to try, but thinking about the fact that I had to go back to work and code again, I avoided it. The heavy lunch would put me to sleep for sure. This was a team lunch, with my coworkers. So we all had a variety of stuff. I'm pretty sure if you are a meat lover you will love this place. There is also one vegetarian option. Halloumi and Mushrooms! Neither my co-workers nor I was interested in checking that out. So you can share your review of that item with me when you try it. I totally recommend going here. read more

When you walk in you're immediately hit by the dimly-lit, cool vibe of the place. There's a massive mural on the ceiling and plenty of interesting ornaments on the wall related to the local area. As would be expected from Shoreditch, it has an extremely trendy feel - I think it's the first time I've ever seen a manned DJ podium controlling the music being played. Fortunately, the food is as good as the decor, the menu has some great, interesting dishes and it's hard to choose just one. Ended up going for the chicken strips to begin, which were perfect. Deep fried and battered, covered in hot pepper sauce with a delicious blue cheese dip. Between 3 of us we shared one portion of chips, and this was more than enough to go around. The burgers themselves were also filling, meaty affairs. I went for the chicken buffalo burger, which had tasty, well cooked chicken bursting from the bun. This had a blue cheese dressing, which again was delicious. Managed to nab a bite of my girlfriends 'Dead Hippie' burger, and this tasted pretty fantastic too. The drinks choice is excellent, for the beer lover there are many choices - from Brooklyn IPAs to german Weiss Beers. These come in 3/4 of a pint, or in pitchers ranging from 2-4 pints. Tried a couple of these and they went down very well. Also had a sip of the Tea infused gin cocktail that someone else had, and that was pretty damn good also. Only downside is the lack of plates or knives and forks. Definitely not a place for a first date as you WILL get messy - which is why they provide a whole roll of kitchen roll per table. Whilst I'm not afraid to get stuck in, when you've got a beard it is fairly tricky to avoid a face covered in burger sauce - so I did end up using a copious amount of kitchen roll. But, all part of the experience! Tldr; well worth it, but not on a first date ;) Prices are faaaairly decent too, spent about £25 each for a starter, burger each and quite a few drinks. read more

Our group of ten were meeting at this restaurant for a baby shower meal. We arrived there happy to see each other and hungry! A couple of us were delayed on the tube so were running a bit late. We were met by a very unfriendly and rude member of staff who continued being rude throughout the whole time. When booking the table we were told that we had two hours. Which we totally understood. She rushed us through ordering rather aggressively. We quickly ordered as could see she was clearly in a hurry to get us fed and out of there. I was 25 minutes late for the meal and when I apologised and tried to order a drink, the waitress grunted and acted like it was a major hardship for her. So I ended up sharing my friends drink. Once the food came we ate quickly and she came back and started picking trays up that weren't even finished!!!! We didn't even have time to tell her that we hadn't finished. To be honest she should have seen that there was still food on the trays and asked us before running away with them! Half an hour before our booking was up she returned to the table with the card machine. We asked if we could order a bottle of champagne (we would have been sharing this so probably would have only had a small glass each which would have gone down quick). The waitress rolled her eyes and said "where do you think you are going to drink that? Your table is nearly finished and we don't have a bar where you can stand and drink this". We were so shocked by her response we decide that we would take our business somewhere else as there was no point arguing with her. But she continued to huff and puff. we asked her what the issue was as we still had 25 minutes left now. She advised that she needed to get us out and clear the table for the next people by 8pm!!!!!!!! We were all absolutely shocked at her attitude. She turned a fun happy occasion Into a miserable one. We asked her to take off the service charge from the bill as she had been so disgusting and she rolled her eyes and snatched the receipt to take the payment. Needless to say that non of our party of ten (most of who work around the area) will not be returning. This was the worst customer service we have ever experienced. Totally ruined our night. Shame as the food was pretty good. I had the protein style HippyBurger. Cooked perfectly and very tasty. read more

It was okay. Not amazing. Bar was running low on some liqueurs which was odd. The venue itself was super cool. I took a colleague who is pretty hard to please and even he thought the interior was nice. The church conversion was very well done. I love burgers and I enjoyed the burger here. It was a solid burger but not special. Likewise the wings- pretty good for London but won't make me come back again and again. The drinks, when they had the ingredients, were quite good. All-in-all, a good burger option in the area. read more

Had a a delivery for the whole office, so got to see pretty much the whole menu as we all ordered different burgers and sides. I was admittedly very sceptical beforehand that you could have a quality burger delivered and still to a decent standard and temperature. Was I wrong!! Delivery was quick, all items ordered were as should be and still a decent temperature. If I am being picky then wrapping the burgers in foil obviously causes them to sweat so the bun can have a soggy texture on the base, but only slightly. I had the Bacon Cheese Burger and Chilli Cheese Fries. Quite frankly, amazing burger cooked to perfection, slightly pink inside, fries were amazing, could be tempted to order just 2 of them next time, will definitely order again and must eat in too. See you soon, mouth watering already. read more

Really great burgers! The menu is nice and simple. The presentation comes in line with what you expect. The decor in this place is like an abandoned church. Really cool. It can get quite loud in the area where there is a communal table. Thankfully we were sitting in the quieter area. If you like meat you will like this place! read more

Went here the other day with a friend for dinner. We had to wait around 20 minutes for a table but it was okay because we found a seat at the bar. It was very busy and lots of people around but great atmosphere! The waitress gave us 2 complimentary shots for a mix up, which was really lovely. Food was good, the same as meat liquor but all delicious. My dirty chicken burger was huge and meat wasn't dry at all. I will definitely be going back again, it's a great place to take someone who is new to london or just visiting as well! read more

This place is perfect. Great food. Great vibes. Down to earth. The burgers are amazing. I simply had a great time. If your looking for a good time then this is where to go. read more

Great local feel, and the Monkey Fingers were great. Fries (chips) were perfect. Little on the smaller side so tight if busy, but comfortable. A little dark and worth the visit. read more

If you are looking for a burger joint that will make you more full than on Christmas day after you've had your turkey, you should probably come here, if you are calorie counting, you should not. What you'll get is a very Hoxton quirky restaurant in an old missionary, not much light, massive pitchers of cider to get you drunk rather easily. This isn't really a pretentious place, people come here to eat meat, chips, meat, monkey fingers... and more meat, they also have a cool bar with cocktails. The veggie option is a halloumi burger which is pretty nice even for us non-veggies... The only issue is the queuing it can get rather busy and no matter what the wait is, they'll always quote you 20 minutes, but you can go round the corner for a quick drink and wait. They also do "Doggy Bags" for all the food you order and don't eat... which is usually a lot. read more

This place has an intriguing ambiance: it is a converted church, the images are thought provoking and look like they came out of a novel with a lot of conspiracy theories and hidden messages. Yet it still has a street, dirty, dive vibe. I got the garbage platter after my friends' intense recommendations: to be honest I didn't like it too much. Also, the service (especially for the desert) was quite slow. read more

Great burger joint - pricey for London, especially if your from New York and expect New York prices. read more

This is probably the best of the Meat (liquor/market/mission) burger joints. Serving the same quality food as you'll find in the other venues what sets this venue above the others is the interior (lighting and ambience), it's not as dark as some of the other venues and is larger with more space living you to feel you have room to breathe. Also being located near Hoxton/Shoreditch the staff are a little more lively and playful which adds to the experience. read more

The food here is great! It's the perfect amount of greasy, guilty aaaaaand delicious. Except...if you're looking to socialise and catch up with friends over a burger, think again!! So loud in here we were practically screaming across the table in an attempt to converse! Meat Mission if you're reading this, could you turn the volume down a notch? read more

The best place in Shoreditch for meaty, tasty, big fat burgers. Meat Mission is in an old Christian mission and is styled around it. Listen to their own radio station (just above the entrance) whilst you tuck into local beers and tasty meat. Try out the monkey fingers - you won't ever find anything else so tasty. read more

Great place and does protein only burgers!!!! Great even on a diet and a good night out read more

Meat Mission - Protein only burger - Burgers Near Me - London, XGL

The service in this place was abysmal. Our server only appeared *once* at our table. She took our order and said "your food won't be out for shelf hour." Then, she literally never came back. We watched her sit at the bar on her phone. The food came out by way of a fella from the kitchen. No mention ever of another round of drinks, water, nothing. All finished off by another server dropping off our bill saying "we close in five minutes," rushing us to pay, adding a 10% service fee to our bill. We embarrassingly had to request the fee to be removed. Food was fine, but didn't make my head spin. I don't live in London, but if I did I would never go back. read more

We went in on a Saturday night hoping for a quick bite. The bartender was the only person who seemed to enjoy his job, and was good fun. All of the serving staff seemed to hate their job, taking forever and eye-rolling at requests such as "please could I have a knife to go with this fork?". The food was greasy, dry and over cooked - quite the achievement. We waited half an hour for it, and it arrived looking and tasting as if it had been sat under a heat lamp for a half of that time. It's a shame as the menu is fun and well priced, but it was a poor experience and we won't be going back any time soon. read more

I love this place.I first visited when not many people knew about this place. I had a cheese burger,deep fried pickles and a game over. The burger was medium rare and juicy no other burger than I have eaten even compares to a meat mission burger...I now have cravings.We made a reservation for a group of 8 for Good Friday and again the service was fantastic and the food has got even better.The only thing I didn't like is how dark the room is in the reserved area. The building is amazing,food portions are huge and the prices are cheap especially for London.I can not wait to visit again read more

Firstly their number was constantly engaged, no matter what extension I dialed. When I was finally able to order a take out the food that arrived was atrocious. The chips were soggy and garlicky. Both of our burger buns were soggy, lacked any sauce and flavour. The bacon in the bacon cheeseburger was charred crisp too. It was an all around dismal affair. After spending £31 on my order and £9 on an Uber, it felt more like a chore trying to get my money's worth eating this slosh. read more

I was on a mission. A mission for meat. And MEATmission was definitely the place to go. Now it's not named MEATmission for that reason. It's in an awesomely converted old Mission. However, it should be named because of that. It really should. So I'm starting out with the statement that I've wanted to try MEATliquor for ages. However, they don't take reservations and every time I've gone by the queue has been stupid. And I'm not British, so I don't believe that queues will make things better. MEATmission (part of the family of MEATliquor, MEATmarket and MEATwagon) takes reservations(!) so I asked a few Yelp friends to join. Unfortunately, I tried to book for a Wednesday night on the previous Friday and it was already completely booked. (Now, the bookings are only for one of the dining rooms in the restaurant, the other is first come first serve, remember that!) I had nothing else to do, and I really wanted to try it, so we agreed to queue and get there about 6:45ish so we could get in around 7:30ish or so. So as I'm getting off the train at around 6:45ish (due to my train being late), I get this text saying that there was no queue and they already had a table! SCORE! I get there around 7 (because I'm an idiot and walked too far), and the place has people, but it's not full to the gills. So +1 to MEATmission for lack of a long queue! However, has the night progressed, it definitely filled up and by 8:00 there were quite a few people at the bar waiting. Suckers! Get there earlier! The four of us went a bit crazy. We ordered a few starters. Chicken wings, fried pickles (yes, deep fried American-style pickles. I've had them before, and was really excited about getting them) and the roast beef garbage plate. The garbage plate is similar to the Canadian delicacy poutine (fries, gravy and cheese) with the addition of roast beef, horseradish and onions. They were all fantastic. Even the non-meaty pickles. Erica fell in love with them at first bite. The wings were tasty but nothing that made them stand out from other buffalo wings. Get the garbage plate. It may sound gross and look a bit gross, but it is SO GOOD. I was dipping my fingers in the gravy with the fries. Sticky hands, but with the lack of cutlery, I didn't care. Chips and horseradish may be my new favorite combination. So we decide to get some mains next. I wanted to try the dirty hippie burger, but I was concerned that it wouldn't be as good as something else. So Andrew decided to order an extra one and split it four ways so we could all try. Genius. Andrw and I had the green chili cheeseburger, Erica had the chili dog and Nava ordered the pastrami dog. We also got an extra order of chips on the side and another order of fried pickles (they were that good). They were awesome. I lived in New Mexico for nine years, and they throw New Mexico green chili on everything. Burgers, fries and whatever else you can imagine. Now in no way did this compare to the green chili there, but it was DAMN close. I was in heaven. I tried some of the chili dog as well, which was also quite tasty and served with mustard on top (just the way I like them). The pastrami dog was fantastic. A hotdog wrapped in pastrami and fried? Then covered with sauerkraut? It was meaty and heavenly. They didn't have any dessert the night we went. Which was good, because we would have ordered it. But by the time I got home, I was in a meat coma. It was amazing. One of the best burger places in London by far. It may beat out Honest Burgers in terms of burger deliciousness, but the chips and price at Honest Burgers are still second to none. I will be back. And I will try more meaty goodness. (I'm even tempted by the challenges. But a chili dog, chili burger and chili fries in TEN minutes? Seems impossible. The chicken one seems slightly better. Two different chicken burgers and chicken wings in ten minutes. Maybe. We'll see.) read more

The Dead Hippie is one of the best burgers I've had. Dripping with goodness. The Monkey Fingers (boneless Chicken slathered in an epic sauce) are also amazing. Throw in a drink and you have a great meal for under £20 read more

Did not like it much, sorry. Think the plase is over praised.

Wow, what a bizarre concept. Kind of a stained glass church graveyard interior design scheme, loud music, range of burgers, fries with stuff on them, chicken wings, a mediocre Greek salad, ok coleslaw, range of creatively named cocktails, a few ok beers. Super slow service. Really don't understand why anyone would even be vaguely excited about it. read more

This is meant to be the epitome of burgers and while it was a great burger I can't say that it was the best burger I have ever had. The decor is actually quite interesting (church-like) and the service is ok. This can be a great starting point for an evening out in Shoreditch, I even like the area the restaurant is in. read more

I've been wanting to go here ever since I moved to London. I built it up so much I was sure I'd be disappointed but I wasn't! I had the Red Chilli Burger which was incredibly moist and a massive mess to eat, but that's all part of the fun! The food all comes on a tray for the whole table to share. Makes for a great casual dining experience. Will definitely being heading back here! read more
