This place is really great! I have been going here for years. First of all the meats and veggies are very fresh and of the highest quality. I never worry about them skimping on quality or portions here. Everything here is great. To name a few, the wraps with flavored cream cheeses are amazing. The roast beef is really tender and juicy. The chicken stuffed with brocolli and cheese is sooo yummy! Dont be discouraged by there appearance. they are located on a busy street in watertown square in an older building, but a large parking lot exists behind the shop and it is easy to get in and out. Their soups are homemade and vary every day. One of my favorites is the Italian weddding soup. The chicken soup is just like grandma makes. Oh and they have bagels and cream cheese in the morning if you are in the area and it is surprisingly good! This place is usually packed during lunch hours so if you get there at 11:00 or after 1:00 you do not have much of a wait. there is no where to sit down and eat inside the sandwich shop it is just line up and place your order to go. however there are nice benches about a block down on the charles river where you can sit, look at the water and enjoy your sandwich. I have also purchaed steaks and chicken to take home and cook. they have a really nice selection of sauces and other items you can take home and make and entire meal yourself. Again I found the quality great on these items as well. The staff is always friendly anad they remember you (A NICE ADDED TOUCH THESE DAYS!!) They are happy to accomodate special requests and to offer a smile even though they are usually crazy busy! I just went there yesterday and had a roast beef wrap and was again thrilled with my choice. read more

Yes, their sandwiches are great BUT their meat is what keeps me coming back. It is always fresh and they are really nice. They listen to your needs and really try to help you out. If you need raw ground meat for your kefte (the raw kind) worth a trip here. Also, never disappointed in the stuff I have order for holidays. Defintely a good place all around. read more

Went in to get some lunch-meat from the deli and was surprised that everything was Boar's Head. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed since I thought there would be more of a homemade feel to this place. We ended up getting some hot pepper turkey and muenster cheese. They also have a lot of interesting pantry products like imported cookies, pasta, sandwich fixings, etc. Picked up some great hot pepper spread and some all natural salt and pepper chips. Maybe next time I will order a sandwich, mmmm prosciutto!!! read more

The Meat Spot became a weekly ritual when we were seeking deli meat and cheese. Harry is incredibly friendly and efficient, definitely an expert when it comes to recommending cuts of meat for grilling, roasting, etc. Try the spicy capicola, prosciutto, and black pepper pastrami! They also have a selection of pasta and other pantry items (i.e. spices, rubs, sauces, mustards, etc.) for convenient shopping! read more

found out about this place bacause of other Yelpers - happens to be a short drive from work, and I am always up for a solid sandwich. Pretty good stuff - reasonably priced tasty sandwich and the meat selection and other stuff looked impressive. Definitely will be back soon read more

This is a great mom and pop shop to support the locals. Try their prosciutto sandwich!!!! Yum. Take it to go as there is not much seating only room for three or take it to the park less than a block and picnic. read more

I love sandwiches, they are probably my favorite food. The meat spot offers a great variety of lunch items, and some gourmet grocery items as well. In particular the prosciutto sandwich (one of the specials listed on the board) is my fav. The only gripe I have is that the line is ridiculously long during lunch times (not really their fault) and there are no seating options. read more

My go to spot for sandwiches and all things deli. As a New Yorker one of the first shocking things that I realized about Boston was that there were no delis around. This was rough for the first few years..... Until I discovered the Meat Spot. In the last few years I have been here around 100 times and on each occasion the sandwich has been excellent. The grilled Chicken is chunky, the mozzarella is fresh as can be, and the egg sandwiches are perfect. They even sell my favorite brand of iced tea. The owner and workers are all very nice. Bottom line, they make amazing sandwiches and sell only fresh products. read more

What a sandwich shop! From the outside, it looks like something from the 1950s, but once you step inside, it's part deli, part gourmet food shop. I ordered the Prosciutto Lover's sandwich and it was heaven. It shows you what can be done with great prosciutto, homemade mozzarella, terrific bread, and the right quantities of both. If you're the type of person who loves huge layers of meat on your sandwich, this might not be the place for you. But if you are looking for high quality meat (and you want to really enjoy the taste, too much meat can overload the palate. Meat Spot has just the right amount. Give it a try. The food is great. read more

This is a terrific sandwich shop. I had the daily special Cuban sandwich and it was lovely. I'll be on the lookout for a chance to go back and try the Prosciutto Lover's based on other reviews. Thank you, Yelp reviewers! read more

Recently started working in Watertown and love this place. I'm really fond of the Rueben, the Italian sub, pastrami and swiss isn't bad either! I wasn't too thrilled with the stuffed chicken (with ham), but I like that the staff is always friendly and willing to give suggestions. Just one thing: please give more than one napkin for those lovely, delicious and sometimes messy sandwiches! read more

If you want a real Italian sub go here. I also really like their baked goods

I have walked / driven by here for years. Oh the time i wasted. Got a Cuban on day one, as it was a special and was great. Went back tbe next day for a pastrami w/ swiss and it was solid. I got a pair of prosciutto lovers for my team mates and they thought it was great. Next up is the itallian. Quick note - the meats are thick cut, bread fresh and staff friendly and excited about their work. read more

Not only does Harry serve up the best sandwiches in Watertown, he keeps the freshest cuts of steak anywhere in the area. I've gotten all my holiday meats here for the past 4 years (Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ham, New Year's pork.) Every one has cooked up juicy and delicious. Why go anywhere else for meat? You don't need a special occasion to enjoy a Prosciutto Lover's, Grilled Chicken & Greek Salad Wrap, or The Meat Spot "Special." Every one is a winner! read more

Don't eat the prosciutto lovers and drive. Its flavors are too distracting. You will crash. I would eat this everyday if I lived here. They even use a nice baguette. Minus one star for offering pretty name brand groceries instead of better imports. And that's being pretty mean. read more

I'm a fine connoisseur of sandwiches, especially of the Italian kind. The Meat Spot hit a home run with its Prosciutto Lovers sandwich. I took the liberty to add roasted red peppers to an otherwise already spectacular sandwich. This place has been around for a very long time and I only came about it accidentally two years ago. I have turned into a once a week customer. I might add, the other sandwiches they offer are great too. read more

Wonderous selection of meats, cheeses, and condiments. A real lunchtime treat! And Boar's Head meats are my favorite. I got a roast beef and cheddar sandwich on ciabatta, light on the bbq sauce. The roast beef was bloody. This delighted me. Paired with some salt & vinegar chips and a root beer my lunch time was made perfect. Service was relatively fast, but friendly and I wish I could go back! But I live in San Diego now. read more

Thanks Yelp for another great lunch place! I've gone here twice in the past week after reading all the positive reviews, and Meat Spot does live up to the hype. The first time I went, I ordered the prosciutto sandwich per most of the recommendations, and was very happy with it -- I mean, it's not earth-shatteringly amazing, but it's a damn tasty sandwich. The prosciutto is freshly sliced and melt-in-your-mouth good, the mozzarella is generously portioned and the basil is fresh and fragrant. Today's visit revealed that the Meat Spot Favorite is also delicious - a very, very well made italian sub that definitely beats the crap out of Subway or the like. Good stuff! Meat Spot has definitely earned a spot on my office lunch take-out rotation. read more

super super tasty sandwiches! I'm never in watertown around lunch time, but on Tuesday I was and made a point of visiting my new favorite deli. everytime I've been the people are always welcoming and friendly, and the service is pretty fast. The prosciutto lovers was delightful. simple, fresh ingredients perfectly layered, the flavor was so completely pleasing. They have a decent market selection with meats and cheeses. I bought sirloin burgers that were a huge hit with the bf. great prices. GREAT quality. read more

I rarely order subs outside of my neighborhood of Mission Hill. if i want a cheap tasty filling sub, i go to chachos on tremont st. If i want a full flavored sub made with love tasting of heaven exploding your tastebuds i go next door to chachos for Wan Convienance. However if i want a sub and i'm not home, there is no doubt I go to the Meat Spot for their subs that are made with care and precision. The guys who work the shop are really nice and they dont skimp out on the ingredients which taste really fresh to me. i also love their drink selections. read more

This place is fantastic. Great meat, fantastic sandwiches, and the service is top-notch. Check out their specials, the meatball sub is by far the best I have ever had. Highly recommended, great lunch spot (try to get their early, the line goes out the door). read more

Very mom-and-pop- locals flock here. I had a turkey sandwich with all the fixins (lettuce tomato onion hot peppers pickles) and my hubs had the ham and cheese. Although they were out of sub rolls, (that must be a good sign, right?) we really enjoyed the rye swirl bread. I was very fixated on the fresh pasta salad and veggie sides while we waited, but we just got the sandwiches this time. Can't wait to go back to try something else on the menu! read more

Showed up here drunk on a weekday AM around 8am and got 2 delicious sandwiches: roast beef with cheddar, pastrami and Swiss. They were big and priced well! Also got some awesome salty feta and good chips selection. Great service and I continued to enjoy them hours later when I got sober. read more

I will definitely vouch for the proscuitto lovers sandwich. It's bliss. They make a number of other good, deli type sandwiches. They make a decent chicken salad, not too much mayo and good sized bits of chicken. If you want a fresh sammich in Watertown Sq, come here and continue to ignore that D'Angelo across from the Dunkins. Also, they bake a mean chocolate chip cookie. The deli counter is pretty good too. There's a decent selection, and while there is a lot of Boar's Head, it's not all the same stuff. The meat ccuts available aren't as cheap as say, Shaws'...but the quality is a lot better. Take that for what you will. They have a couple little sides -a little slaw, a little hummus, a little tabouli- that are simply all right, not too great. They have a ton of fancy items: Stonewall Kitchen stuff, some random sauces and condiments and cans of veggies and such...but really, skip it. It's a little pricey and it's all stuff you'll find in any supermarket. Unless you want to drop 8 bucks on a small container of lemon curd or whatnot. Watertown Square needs a little market,. And while the Meat Spot isn't perfect it's a lot better to shop at instead of say, CVS. or the former Store 24. read more

Wanted a special prime rib this year to celebrate Christmas, and am not able to go into supermarkets for health reasons. Had never purchased meat from a butcher before, but a friend recommended the Meat Spot. WOW - best piece of prime rib ever.. cut exactly as we asked, with the ribs. It was amazing. Will definitely be back! read more

Everything is great here all the sandwiches my favorite are the chicken salad, turkey/ham, roast beef. Marinated Steak tips are awesome. Only negative is parking is tough read more

Love the meat spot. Super nice staff, great sandwiches, and always some good prepared foods to choose from. I always go in for a sandwich and end up with some fresh meats, cold cuts, steak tips, cheeses, chips, and then some. Fantastic chicken salad. Homemade bread. Just a great local family owned place that makes you happy to support read more

This place is excellent - went here for a steak and the owner cut me a center cut filet, 2 inches thick ...one of the best home steaks I've ever had! They have a good selection of homemade foods and imported pastas/sauces and marinades. They also serve Boars Head deli, which is just the best. Highly recommend this place...the owner is a good guy and the steaks are great. read more

Delicious sandwiches actually the best sandwiches, salads, and snacks. Great for a quick easy lunch and also an awesome place for catering orders. Everyone who works there is friendly and timely when placing an order in advance. read more

Hot pastrami and Swiss sandwich was awesome! I live in CT and occasionally go into Boston for work. I've been looking for a good sandwich place off the mass pike once you get out of the city. I finally find my go to place! Even though it is named the meat spot, they know the bread is just as important in a sandwich. Perfect crusty bread. Reasonably priced too. Big sandwich, chips, drink and cookie for 12 bucks. read more

Go around lunchtime and see the line--and me in it--and know you're in the right place. Despite its name, the Meat Spot has a couple great vegetarian options, including a falafel wrap, a caprese sandwich, and my favorite: the cheese lover's. Embarrassing to order, yes, but it's worth it and here's why: Under $6 for a mountain of cheese of your choosing and every veggie in existence (take your pick). The hoagie rolls are delicious and almost always right out of the oven. (If a previous reviewer has you concerned, just ask how fresh the rolls are. These guys are straight shooters. They will tell you). Meat-eating friends love the chicken salad and the Prosciuto Lover's Sandwich. Do it. Go here. Yes. read more

Been going here for years.. Not all the time.. And not as often as I should. The food is always great. Only have had the falafel sandwiches and some pasta salad. Some random baked goods, random groceries. Always good. Tried the breakfast sandwich for the first time today. Amazing. Though what was the best part was that I forgot to being any money and the owner still gave me the sandwich and said pay the next time I come. Real small business mom and pop service that you don't get at the chains. read more

I got the Meat Spot Favorite (With Baked Ham, Smoked Turkey, Feta, lettuce, tomato, olives, roasted red peppers & house dressing) and while the insides of the sandwich were good, the bread was super hard - way to hard to bite through. My co-worker got one of their roast beef sandwiches and experienced the exact same thing. They need softer bread! read more

I was looking for a late lunch and remembered reading other rave reviews of Meat Spot. I happened to be in the area and located it using my GPS by searching points of interest for "meat". I had a chicken sandwich with focaccia bread, fresh mozzarella, lettuce, sweet basil, and mayo. The sandwich was nothing short of perfection. Everything was fresh. The service was perfect. The price was perfect. Very nice store, but no seating available. You will probably have to park in the back and walk around to the front to get to the shop, but that makes it better. I asked what the store hours were and I was surprised to find that they didn't match the posted hours on Yelp. The person behind the counter told me they are 9 AM to 6 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 4 PM weekends. They might change the hours, though so it's best to call to make sure. I will definitely be back for more! read more

these are great sandwiches anywhere in the world....but hey, they are in watertown, massachusetts. i work in walking distance from the meat spot, which means i am a regular there during the week (although i must confess i've actually went to watertown a couple of times on weekends just to have a sandwich!). their bread is wonderful, and the sandwiches with fresh mozzarella are to die for....especially the prosciutto lover....the reputation is well deserved. as a matter of fact, everything i've had here was wonderful...salads, lasagna, brownies... a great family run place! read more

I go at least once a week for their Cuban sandwich, but I just went and tried their breakfast sandwich and it was so amazing. Melt-in-your-mouth ruined-for-all-other-breakfast-sandwiches good. read more

The Meat Spot is a sandwich shop that sells some amazing steak tips. The flavor is... I can't decribe it... savory, salty, sweet... but oh so good. You can buy the raw version of their steak tips marinated in their special spices for your own grilling! read more

Prosciutto lovers sandwich is all I have had from here beside their sweets which are equally as amazing! The sandwich is one for the memory bank though, I crave it all the time, I have heard from clients that live in the area all their stuff is a homerun. This is one of those little stores where you can also find unique items such as Rose Lemonade and great italian pastas etc. read more

I like the sandwiches, but I'm writing this to counter the idiotic vegan below that gave this place one star. Are people really that dumb? I mean a vegan going to a place called the "Meat Spot" and complaining and advising to keep away from the meat counter? How do people like that not get killed off? It's a strike against the theory of natural selection. read more

I live around the corner and love love love the butcher shop at the meat spot. Sandwiches used to be equally as good BUT, unfortunately, something has gone very wrong. I got a mozzarella and tomato that is hard to mess up - yes they did. The Italian and roast beef subs had a mixed green salad with dressing thrown on top. It had to go into the trash. What happened to lettuce and tomatoes? The bread was hard, the pickles were soggy and a lot needs to change before I'll go back read more
