The food here was amazing! The smoked meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. It was full of flavor so you don't need the dipping sauces it comes with, but we enjoyed dipping it and exploring different flavors. If you order the meat (by lb), it comes with some sides like mashed potato and salad. The plate also came with potatoes, garlic, roasted tomatoes, etc. the service was fast (we went on a random weekday afternoon so no line), and friendly. The restaurant was large inside and very clean Would definitely go again and would recommend to anyone with an appetite. read more

First time diners. Service was friendly and fast. We ordered the beef brisket and beef ribs. Also included was rice, various salads and sauces, and drinks. Meat was juicy and delicious. It was lacking some More seasoning like salt and pepper. Unfortunately, we were told to order more pounds of meat than we really needed. We brought home a lot of food to have another day for dinner. $45/pound is pricey but the large portions will cover another day of dinner for the family. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - Beef brisket and lamb shank - Smokehouse Near Me - Burbank, Illinois

The food may be good here but we did not get a chance to try it. It's an hour drive for us and we called in advance and were told they have meat available. When we arrived on Saturday at 8pm, we were told they are running out of meat and will not be able to serve us as there also 13 parties ahead of us. We were told to come back Sunday and try again. My question to the owners, is this fair to the customer that drove 1 hour to try your restaurant? Why would I try again the next day? A better solution would be to take reservations so you don't waste people time. read more

I was looking through the menu. It was a bit out of my price range. I am a single person, but they have a fantastic lunch menu from 12 to 3. I picked up the lamb special it was in my price range. It was great. It was more like for two person when I go there again to try to beef special definitely a five star review read more

Meat Moot Smoking - The food was really great. It was more for two persons not just one. The rice was good. The garlic was good. In my price range. - Smokehouse Near Me - Burbank, Illinois

The lunch deal here is great, for $20 you get to choose lamb or brisket, and you still get unlimited sides. I got the lamb shank lunch deal; the lamb fell right off the bone, and was deliciously spiced, with a touch of honey which complemented the meat very well. Check this place out for lunch! read more

It definitely was a great experience, my husband and I are going to go back gain room try the rest of the menu items they had!! I definitely recommend it!!!! read more

Lunch was a smoking hit today! Upon entering, you observe a clean establishment that's spacious and inviting. Scan the QR code to pull up the menu. We were new, so the young man working the counter explained how it all works. Choose your meat, and you pay by the pound. We had beef ribs and beef brisket. The ribs require one pound minimum. There were three in our party, and it was our first meal of the day (a little after 1 p.m.) so thought we might need three pounds. I appreciate the team member telling us that would be entirely too much, and he was right. I also appreciated him pulling some of the fat off when weighing. Okay, so you pay for the meat by the pound, and salad, sauces and beverages are included. And we were also able to choose to add tomatoes, garlic and peppers. Yes, please! The placemats at your seat explain the different sauces and salads. It was a culinary adventure. Everything was delightful. The meat literally fell off the bone. We spent an hour tasting every single sauce with the brisket and ribs. Have you ever tried honey on your brisket? It was different AND good. The hostess was attentive and brought drink refills to the table before we needed to ask, and she was also mindful of bringing just enough of the sauces so as to not let any go to waste. If I had to choose a favorite sauce, it would be the garlic sauce, and the arugula salad complimented everything so well. Grab a couple of friends and check this spot out. It's worth the price. You too may leave with leftovers for dinner or lunch the next day. read more

We had dinner here with my family. Ordered lamb and brisket. Both items along with the sides were awesome . The service was wonderful. Highly recommended. read more

Let me start by saying they are all very friendly, warm, inviting people here. The restaurant is warm and beautiful and the music is very relaxing. We drove 3 hrs to stop in for lunch. They explain the concept of how it works before you order. The meat DOES NOT fall off the bone! It's more than that! The bone slid out like it wasn't even there! :) We had the Lamb Shank, Short Ribs and Brisket. We all agreed that the brisket was our favorite! It is a bit pricey, we didn't expect $180 for lunch, for 4 people but it was worth it. The sides were interesting and different from what you get anywhere else. Very minimal options sat in front of you but I guess that's because it's all about the meats. I highly recommend! Best meat we have ever had. read more

Great experience and wonderful service.The Staff were so nice and accommodating. Dining area was so clean. I will definitely be returning.

Love that they opened a location near the city! We got the brisket and lamb shank. The meat was cooked and seasoned well, the staff was attentive and kind. The restaurant is decorated well and is really clean. Highly recommend going here. Also they have unlimited sides and drinks which is an added perk. read more

A fun dining experience. Wonderful sauces and salads. The staff was very welcoming and provided excellent service. The lamb neck was tender and wonderful. A great ambiance for eating in as well read more

It looks better than it tastes. Sorry. Also went for the special. Ended up getting talked into a bigger sharable portion that. Should have stuck to my intention, not worth it. read more

Meat was very good but if you are offering all you can eat sides they should be better omg the side were not good at all. Salad was blah the rice was bland the mash potato's was barely ok could have used more flavors and the potato's were ok. If i'm gonna be charged so much for meat because sides are free at least make the sides good. Because it really wasn't worth the money with those sides And no bread or flat bread or anything like that? read more

The guy preparing our food was very helpful and patient. Our portions were great and the lamb was delicious, juicy and tender and the sides are good, too! It is pricey but worth it. I love the Middle Eastern flavors in the seasoning they put on the meat and if you like trying the food of other cultures, you will enjoy it. If you don't like lamb they have beef brisket which is just as delicious and tender as the lamb. The restaurant has a comfortable family style seating and atmosphere. I'm so glad we discovered Meat Moot and I highly recommend them! read more

Had the beef ribs and what was supposed to be brisket. This place doesn't serve brisket. What they serve is Chuck. The ribs were tough. The smoked Chuck was terrible. Given their deceptive practice, I would not recommend this place. Shame on them. read more

A friend of mine came here for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed out meal. You come here for the meat. Dont have much expectations for the sides...there were plenty of them but a bit dry for my liking. I loved their service though! It was not expected but much appreciated. read more

This place will leave you satisfied but also wanting to come back! The meat is incredible! I stumbled upon this place and keep going back!

I definitely think this is one of those places you just have to try. Whether it'll be a one time thing, a monthly or even simply just a yearly outing, it's a perfect fit because you can't go wrong! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The show they do while choosing the meat is fascinating. Fall off the bone meat that is tender and flavorful. $45/lb of meat isn't cheap but it sure is worth of the experience and taste. My team and I ate the beef brisket (our personal favorite!) and the lamb shoulder. read more

This place is a joke. It's not smoked meat, it's just seasoned and slow cooked. There's absolutely nothing special and no effort giving with the meat. Any BBQ shack put more effort into cooking their food. Smoking meat takes over a dozen hours and the right rub. This place essentially puts a pot roast in a slow cooker and calls it smoked beef brisket. Extremely disappointed after all the hype. read more

This is definitely not a 5 start restaurant (as per a previous review), so please don't go there thinking of that!. At best feels a bit like the taco bell of smoked meats, which is a good thing, but don't go there expecting a lot. It's an experience for sure. Service is good, but the meat could have been spiced more, felt a bit bland and the dipping sauces while unlimited was in small quantities which were not great at all. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - Beef brisket - Smokehouse Near Me - Burbank, Illinois

I heard a decent amount of hype around Meat Moot, so I made my way over there today. I had already been to Bones n' Chefs in Lombard, so I was expecting a similar experience, but Meat Moot is over the top...in a good way! When we first walked in, the hostess gave us a number and directed us to the gentlemen who prepare the meat. Unfortunately there is no menu listing what meats are available, so you have to ask them. From memory, I know they at least have beef brisket and ribs. I said I wanted a lot of meat, so the guy suggested beef brisket. He opened one of the closets in the back (or whatever they're called) and grabbed a foil-wrapped slab of meat. He opened it up, and then the show began. We didn't want the whole slab, so he weighed some out and confirmed that the quantity was okay; I believe we got 1.3 lbs. He applied some seasoning (with style, I might add), and offered us samples on forks. We loved it, so he seasoned the rest of the meat. Then someone else laid out the garnishes. We swiped our card there at the counter. Then someone brought out the meat to our table along with small bowls of rice. A variety of sauces were already set on the table. The waiter then asked what drinks we wanted. This is a good time to explain the pricing model. It's relatively simple. Pricing is based on the amount of meat you get, and the person preparing the meat actually placed a barcode sticker right on the serving platter. Sides and drinks are factored into the price, and they provide refills on those items (no refill on meat, unfortunately!). After you finish your meal, the waiter will bring the official receipt for you to sign and apply the tip, but the actual card swipe is done earlier. Now for the important part: how was the food? It was really, really good. The meat was simply amazing. Tender, juicy, flavorful... The sauces were all tasty enough, but almost all were on the sweet side. They should replace one of the sweeter sauces with either savory or spicy to mix it up a little. The sides included jalapeno peppers, garlic cloves, cherry tomatoes, giardiniera, roasted potatoes, a spinach salad, and a tomato salad. All the sides were decent, but were given in small quantities. The rice was decent as well. I will say that this was an expensive meal. For 1.3 lbs of beef brisket and the aforementioned sides, it came out to $80 with tip. This is a lot more than we usually spend for a meal out (usually we stay in the $30-$40 range for two adults + 1 child), but it did feel like a special meal. It's not something I would do often, but you get really good meat and a one-of-a-kind dining experience that you won't soon forget. Meat Moot is definitely something to keep in mind for a special night out. read more

Steamed pot roast is not smoked brisket. Where is the smoke in this place? Have you ever been to a real barbecue place? You can smell the smoke outside. The sides were disappointing too. read more

This is an awesome addition to the halal meat landscape. Love the presentation/ fire smoking show and the food was simply cooked to perfection. the pricing while looks a bit expensive it is worth every penny . We had the lamb shanks and the beef brisket and both were cooked to our liking with the seasoning and the salad's , sauces and drinks were all included in the price. it was an hour drive for me but i will do that again read more

Ever since I switched to Zabiha halal only, I have been often left disappointed when it's not Middle Eastern or Pakistani/Indian. Finally a great Place for Zabiha BBQ. I am a restaurant professional and foodie who enjoyed the meat moot experience. I have some great reference points, like Q's BBQ and Killians in Houston, before my zabiha days and this is right up there. Worth the price, about $35 a person. read more

For the price you pay for so-called "smoked " meat, it's definitely not worth it. It's meat wrapped in aluminum foil and overcooked. No smoke flavor whatsoever. They'll say they smoke the meat for 14 hrs. 14rs no smoke flavor, that's very deceptive. Sorry, folks, save yourself the disappointment. read more

Mushy Meats should be the name of the restaurant because all the meats ordered were MUSHY!! Each one pound of meat was approximately $50 per pound and the meats ordered were: Beef Ribs, Brisket aka Chuck Roast/Pot Roast and Lamb Neck. I was under the impression that I ordered one pound of each meat but my total bill was $237.08 without the tip added and after adding a tip, the grand total was $280. The service was GREAT but the food was not to my liking. IMO, the meats do not need to be baked as long as they bake the meats because they definitely don't smoke anything. If you have dental issues, then this is the place for you to come and enjoy Mushy Meats. read more

I visited this place during the week it was easy ordering your food and the service was prompt and very welcoming. The food was delicious and delightful. The meat fell off the bone. The sides were complimentary and you could get extra servings of the sides. It's enough to share with others. Plenty of different sauces to try . I tried the beef ribs also the brisket and the lamb shank . The leftovers were good the next day. read more
