10/10 food + 10/10 Ambience! This was our first time here and we loved it! We went during the lunch special. We got 1 lamb shank and 2 beef briskets. We ended up having a lot of leftovers to take home! Looking forward to our next visit so we can try the other things on the menu! read more

Meat Moot Smoking - 1 lb Lamb Shank + 1 lb beef brisket + sides - Smokehouse Near Me - Novi, Michigan

10000000/10 No alcohol service here, I think that's why they tend to be slower..? It's always slow when my friend and I go (it's actually our favorite place)... but the food is amazing.. honestly.. pretty sure it's halal as well! There's also lots of other things to do right around this place, you can have a little spa date, look at puppies, hit the gym.. make a whole day and have an epic feast! They give unlimited sides, which is amazing.. they're all so yummy.. we love the potatoes (both kinds!) read more

Excellent cuts of meat. Went with a large group and there was no wait. They gave nice size samples since it was our first time. Good flavor on the meat. We had a nice dinner with plenty of food to share and take home. The side dishes are ok but the meat is what makes this place worth the trip. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - Dinner for 6 - Smokehouse Near Me - Novi, Michigan

See all

I brought my family here for a birthday celebration. We had a great experience and liked the halal meat! The servers were friendly (you order at front but someone does stop by your table), and I liked the overall vibe of the restaurant. We ordered brisket and lamb shank. The meat was very tender and smoked really well. It was cooked to perfection. Yet the flavor profile wasn't really there. It was bland compared to what I expected, and I needed to use the sauces to make up for the lack of flavor. Also while the rice they served each person was warm the sides were quite cold. I wish they were room temperature at least because it wasn't mixing well with the hot meat. Still recommend trying out this spot for sure but not sure if I will be craving it again anytime soon. Wishing them all the best though and excited that we have a halal smoked meat restaurant in Michigan! read more

So was really excited to try this spot out. A last minute decision. I was pulled in by a TikTok of the fire show. We did not see a fire show. Must have been too late or only at a certain time. So the process was also not my favorite. You sit down and scan a barcode to see the "menu" choose what you want. Then you go up order and pay at the end of the counter. Then they bring the food out to you. BEWARE there are SEVERAL items that you can NOT purchase at 1lb. (The meat is about $50 per pound minimum) I went with three friends and we all wanted to try different meats to give a well rounded review. We ended up only getting the lamb shank, and beef brisket. They were edible but nothing that i would say was great. The seasoning was a bit too heavy in my opinion. We were told the lamb ribs had to be purchased at 3lbs minimum... which none of us could eat alone. (Then they mentioned several others that were also minimums of over 1lb) Then we got the sides. I was HIGHLY dissatisfied with the mashed potatoes that were clearly boxed flakes. As a lover of mashed potatoes I've never had worse ones at a restaurant. The sauces were nothing special. The rice was on the dry side and not flavorful. The potatoes were okay. There are "endless" sides and drinks but nothing spectacular. Basic Pepsi products. The chairs are comfortable. The place is inside a walkable mall area so the parking is a little walk. All in all I would not go here again. I would definitely advise against this spot. Not worth wasting your energy in my opinion. The temperature was not hot it was actually maybe room temperature warm. The only reviving quality was that Miayoung was a fantastic waiter. Made us feel comfortable and he was extremely attentive. read more

This is a nice place to go. An awesome for a first date. The food is good the manager welcoming and the staff accommodating . It's an open floor concept which let's you be table noisy. I like to look at what other diners are trying. You will definitely leaves here full. Worth the price. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - So that is the brisket and some lamb chops with some roasted garlic, roasted potatoes and some cherry tomatoes - Smokehouse Near Me - Novi, Michigan

So this is a Turkish chain that has a unique concept of how they cook meats. The greeter was very friendly and explained how they cook the meats 14 to 16 hours in advance so basically you just go to the counter and order. Within minutes, they deliver the meats along with an abundance of sides. Most of the meats were lamb and the other options were beef. The food was scrumptious, and the meat literally fell off of the bone . The spices were perfect, and it was a great experience overall. If it's your first time there, then they put on a show as they warm up your meats and get them ready to be served to you at your table . Staff is very friendly, it's fastest you ever get your meal at any restaurant and it's an exotic experience. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - Beef brisket and lamb shoulder - Smokehouse Near Me - Novi, Michigan

What a unique and wonderful experience! Came during lunch in the middle of the week. The host at the front was super friendly and explained to us how the process worked since it was our first time. We decided on the lamb ribs and brisket, which comes with endless sides! We watched the meat be taken out the warmer and seasoned beautifully! By the time we paid, our table was already ready with sauces, salads, and goodies! Such great service! Our meats of choice were brought to the table and IT WAS PHENOMENAL! So tender and cooked perfectly! We tried all the sauces! The rice was mixed in a tasty seasoning that I really enjoyed. We've never had honey on brisket, but we tried it and it was fireworks to the palate. Like wow! I'm so impressed! And the endless sides was a perfect touch to a great lunch! read more

I think the food was good. It was very different ambiance from a sit down restaurant that I'm accustom to. Getting in line to order food and pay for the meal at the final step in the line. I felt this unnecessary and off putting. Another problem was no bread. Lavash or Pide would have enhanced the smokey savory flavors of the meat. We visited on the first Saturday after Ramadan ends. Eid al-Fitr The restaurant was very busy and the staff were stretched thin. We had a pleasant dinner just didn't feel special. I think I will look for a restaurant that does better at making the meal a wow that was wonderful type experience. read more

How do you specialize in smoked barbeque and have no flavor? The sides are already on the table in small but unlimited portions. Potatoes, as others have noted, taste like instant. Roast potatoes thown on with the meat are luke-warm. Corn out of a can. "Salad" is a small dish of greens. Price is by the pound, but be aware, there were four of us and we got brisket and ribs. The bones probably weighed a pound, so paying by the weight, you just paid an extra $50 for bones. Since the food is halal, and since it was Ramadan, you might have expected that they would have included at least one date per person to break the fast. Ordered tea after dinner, but the hot water machine wasn't working. Really, is it so hard to use another way to heat water? Since I don't require an halal menu, I'll stick to regular barbeque restaurants that know how to flavor their featured food. read more

Went for lunch, which is until 3 on weekdays. Half off lamb shank/brisket. Came with sauces, rice, couscous, potatoes, and some different pickles like giardineria. Meat server seasoned the meat, even threw some salt up and caught it on the meat. Taste was good, nice and tender. Wasn't a very Smokey flavor, I'd prefer more smoke but my stomach was happy with the amount it had. Would certainly be back for lunch but I don't see myself paying double for dinner. read more

We gathered here for my Husband's Birthday. We didn't quite know what to expect. The ambiance was decent. Nothing overboard Nothing incomplete. Simple instructions on ordering. Simple menu. Nice service but, we felt a bit rushed to leave. The meat was EXQUISITE. Savory, tender, and sweet. It sells itself. The sides were small and you'll have to ask for more. I will definitely return soon. read more

It's a beautiful restaurant with fresh food. Sides come included with the meat price so you don't have to worry about choosing! It's great for sharing and the flavors are pretty good read more

If this review was just about the food it would be a 5 star. the brisket, beef ribs and lamb shank was superb. However, we were a group of 4, coming in first thing on a Saturday morning (12noon). You'd think the bathrooms would be clean. The floors were absolutely disgusting, the ceiling tiles look moldy. It made me worried to think of the cleanliness of the kitchen... The three servers were sitting on their phones, eating, drinking, by the ordering station. (Patially due to no other patrons.) We had to ask for refills of drinks. I did not see anyone washing hands between eating and bringing food to customers. The cost for 2 people was $101.00. We were looking for the experience. It was a splurge. For that type of cost expectations for cleanliness is high along with service. (Once again the food was really tasty.) read more

Meat moot is absolutely delicious and worth the hype. Yes, the meat is cooked to perfection. And yes, takes hours upon hours to cook, to be soft and tender, but the real thing is that you get dinner with a show when they cut open that foil packet and throw the spices around making Emril look like some sort of pilgrim child. One thing I really liked about this place is how clean it was. The service was really good as well from the time that they seated us to the time we left. We got to go boxes for the food we didn't finish and it was just as good hours later. We came with the family but this place would be perfect for a date night too. read more

Wow! I was amazed at the whole experience and the tenderness of the meat. 5 stars for that. I am not a big meat eater specially just meat alone, but this was very easy to eat. It's a lot of meat and I think worth every penny. The owner was very polite, he was patient and walked us through everything. He personally came to check on us after we ate. The server himself should have checked on us more. The place is spacious and plenty of seating. At time the meat felt dry, and slightly bland. But I guess that's how smoked meat is. read more

We ordered lb of the of beef ribs and 1/2 lb of brisket. The meat wasn't Smokey at all. The sides were ok but nothing to rave about. We paid $86 with tips And had left over to take home for another meal. The meat was tender and fall off the bone but lacking in flavor. Service was good. read more

We heard a lot about this place and was kind of excited to check this out. I'd say food is ok noting like wow, however, the restaurant process to get a table of food is kind of annoying. As a first timer, we had to figure out how things work. Anyway you need to order at the meat counter and pay then they will bring food to your table. Drink options only soda. I understand it's a halal place so there could be fine non alcoholic mocktails. In summary, price is fancy not the service or atmosphere!! Meat quality is ok but little dry and have to use the sauces. Food comes with tons of small cups which was super confusing. Rice and salad was good touch. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - Brisket & Lamb shunk - Smokehouse Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Our server came up and gave us the info on how everything worked. You order All Meats ONE pound, All sides and beverages included. My date and I were to share a pound of Lamb or Ribs. (Pound is a good portion of food.) We then get in line to order and find out that there is a 2 or 3 pound minimum for these Meats. (Thats portion is A LOT of food.) We ended up with a beef dish that we could have One pound. (Would have been nice to have been told that when sitting as our expectation was lowered based on what we were told.) I saw the cook weigh the Meat at One pound. We get to the counter to pay and the casher says its 1.25 pounds. This may sound like Not a big deal but this adds another 25% to the bill. The casher did not understand when for Beverages. It got handed BUT NOT what we were told upfront. The meal was good....Far from Real good. Buyer Beware......Will NOT go back due to All the issues. read more

Friends, this is the best place for me, I was here for the first time, they recommended very delicious food, the waiter and waitress were very friendly and even told me the name of the song that I liked (please praise them), thank you very much for your hospitality. p.s.

Everyone was very helpful & friendly. The food was so good! The brisket was super tender & full of flavor. I loved being able to try all the different sides & sauces! Our server, Dia was so sweet & attentive. I would absolutely go here again. read more

Other reviews said this place was so expensive but for 4 people our bill was $100, that's $25. Per person and that's actually pretty average. We ordered two pounds of meat, with the sides that was perfect. Brisket and beef ribs were very good, would like to go back and try the lamb some time. We were early birds (got there before 5, so not crowded). My only complaint was I wish the server was more attentive about bringing side refills, we asked for another salad and it never came. Sides include: rice, potatoes, corn, 3 different kinds of salad and a wide variety of sauces to try. read more

Meat Moot Smoking - Beef ribs and brisket (one pound of each) - Smokehouse Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Not what I expected, the meat was tender but that was it. No smoke flavor, very bland. The all you can eat side were below average. The mashed potatoes taste like baby food. Would NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Meat Moot is in a very interesting complex adjacent to a gym, escape room, axe throwing arena, bowling alley, golf simulator, and movie theater. It boasts an opulent interior that is inviting and fun. We ordered the brisket, because they didn't allow any lamb options to be ordered under a certain number of pounds which was annoying since we were just two people. The brisket was smoky and well cooked. It was a tad bit dry and could have used a stronger dry rub but was good nonetheless. The unlimited sides, sauces, and drinks were a great touch that made the experience very nice and fun to explore all the options. Outside of the roasted potatoes, the sides were not spectacular but were mostly solid and decent. The overall food was good, not great, but the experience and setup made for a very enjoyable and entertaining eating experience that would have been even more fun with a group! I will definitely be back! read more

Now hear this ! Now hear this ! I just want to say this place is must a come by and taste this Bar B Q. It's something very different in texture , seasoning, smoked , and it's all short of phenomenal. You all know me I am pinche critical when it comes to Bar B Q. But this place will be my best kept secret. The service here is the best I've seen here in years. Friendly family oriented in this atmosphere place let just say very beautiful feelings and vibes. Which makes this experience just a whole lot more special. The money here is worth it because your plate will actually feed 2. It can be said that if you buy 2 trays here you will feed an army for the week. The meat is awesomely tender and the flavor is unique for the area. It's mouth watering to say the least and tender beef's ribs. Did I say tender ribs ? Yes I did, come and make the trip out here. They just open and they are busy so busy the menu is not up yet. Now take this Texas boys word for it bring the family . Come with an appetite again it's worth the money . This experience are you all ready for it? PINCHE DELICIOUS AND AWESOME!!!! That is all . Chief East coast Bar B Q its like abstract instead of concrete. Just stick to pizza or pizza pie or whatever you all call it. read more

The service 9/10 The atmosphere 8/10 (clean & nice music) THE FOOD... 3/10!! The cuts of meat were very tender and juicy, but there is NO flavor. You can tell the only seasoning that was place on the meat is the seasoning they sprinkle on top right before it is served to you. ALSO, for the amount of money you are spending to dine there it is outrageous for them to be serving INSTANT MASHED POTATOES as a side dish ( also with NO SEASONING). All the other sides were ok, nothing to rave about. read more

Great brisket! Meat was great, sides are ok... Try the Beef Brisket and the Lamb Neck! You won't be sorry.

We were a group of around 14 people , we had a reservation but when we got there our table was not ready , we waited closer to 45 minutes then we did and service after that was fast , meat was tasty but salads not so much ,, over all good food but not a that good atmosphere read more

I must leave a review expressing my disappointment! In my dinner! I read the reviews in combination with a few YouTube videos and I was excited to try the food! I don't even care about the cost of food so long as it's delicious! The only time food cost becomes an issue is when I feel like I've wasted my money and this is exactly how I felt after my meal at meat moot! I wanted my meat to be so moist and flavorful because the star of the show is the meat right? No! We were bored to death with the food! Concept wise it's great and it gets you in the door! All you can eat sides all these sauces (which are needed to try and create some type of flavor) drink with meal... great! One it's way too many starches! The mashed potatoes are instant so they suck! I'm sure none of the sauces are homemade and the roasted potatoes weren't that good either and they arrived at the table cold and for the love of God add some sweetness to the salad dressing to wake up all the acid from the dressing! We added a lil honey to the salad to wake up the flavor! My friend made a really good point... the sides are all unlimited but none of the sides make you want to order more! I came I saw I don't ever have to go back and for $50 for one lbs of meat I should have at least loved my meat but I didn't! It was lack luster at best! read more

Person at the front was very kind explained to us what we had to do very straight foward my waiter was amazing aswell food honestly first couple bites from the seasoned top was good after reaching the inside no flavor honestly dry a bit sides do not match with anything bbq honestly if you don't like certain sides you'll just end up eating straight flavorless meat honestly the environment was mostly judgy from the other clientele there 2 stars would not go again to expensive for the quality read more

Meat moot was not worth the hype and definitely not the money you spend. Below was $300!! At any other traditional bbq restaurant, $300 goes a long way.

Meat Moot Smoking - Smokehouse Near Me - Novi, Michigan

They tell you how they smoke the meats for like 16 hours but there is ZERO smoke flavor at all on the meats. Why is there no smoke flavor? How do you advertise smoked meats with no smoke flavor it's a complete joke. It honestly takes skills to make it zero smoke after 16 hours of smoking read more

Seen this place on instagram and it was right up my alley. My son and I are carnivores and this place did not disappoint. We got the beef brisket and the beef ribs also splurged on the lamb shank. All the meat was tender, juicy and melted in my mouth. The unlimited sides and drinks were also good. The staff was super nice and friendly. Everything was brought out quick and presented nicely. The restaurant was well staffed and decorated nicely. I will definitely return. All in all great experience and will recommend trying it out. read more

I went there recently for the soft opening in Novi. When we arrived the staff was very helpful and quick to get us seated. The food was fantastic. The beef brisket with honey was very tender and had a nice sweet kick with the honey. It was a touch dry but the honey really compensated for it and it was delicious and tender. The lamb shank was also very pleasant and was the perfect tenderness and was delicious with the seasoning. Overall, the meat is very well prepared and delicious. We went up to the front to get our cut of meat and the meat was prepared right in front of us. The restaurant was very nice in comfort and decor and felt very welcoming right away. The service was fantastic and we got our meat right away. read more
