Always a good meal at a good price. Love the brisket and bimbibop! Don't understand why more people don't come here. You are missing out!

Great service (as usual) went on wing day and had great Korean chili wings, wife had tenders which were also good. read more

In the space that was previously 521 BBQ & Grill. I had ready so many positive reviews, had to check it out on this sunny spring Wednesday for lunch. I arrived right when they opened at 12n and I was the only one there for about 10 minutes and then the lunch crowd started rolling in. I had lunch in and then got an order to go as well. I had the fish taco and pork taco and watched Sports Center and their large wide screen TV. I was anxious about the fish because, I don't eat tilapia and Jack, my server said it was Cod and it was delicious! The pork was good too but the fish taco was really good! Later for dinner, I had the Korean Taco and the Brisket Taco. Both were outstanding! The mix of toppings and spices created a really nice mix of flavors. I thought the price points were good and the service from Jack was good too. I will def be returning as they have a very interesting & unique menu. There is plenty of free parking and they also have a nice patio with umbrellas when the weather suits. read more

Varied menu with a number of comment options. Very clean and modern decor. Seating at the bar, tables and an outdoor patio. 16 beers on tap with many craft. Other options in cans as wall as a full service bar. Instead of a children's menu they have a small plate "good for children and seniors" extensive martini and cocktail list . Bathroom is clean and stocked. Plenty of parking around the building. read more

I've been here more than once. The map says it's a BBQ place but it's an Asian/American fusion. Full bar, patio and mostly inside seating. It's a great lunch spot. You can get BBQ, burgers/sandwiches, salads, tacos, wings, steak, pork belly, appetizers like fried zucchini and boba. We've had mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, tacos, a grilled chicken sandwich (chargrilled and DELISH), etc. and everything has been amazing. They also play some decent bops. The service is good but I've never been there when it was slammed. The last time I was there, kids were playing with sidewalk chalk on the patio. Give it a try, it's really delicious and everyone can find something no matter their mood. read more

The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The owner is a very humble lady who still does all the cooking. I have been coming here for about 5yrs now, i was always felt welcome and the food has always been delicious. This restaurant is a five star every day, most recommend to friends and family. read more

This place is about the closest to Cheers as you can get. Everyone sitting at the bar is welcoming and if you are a newbie, will always give you great suggestions for lunch or dinner. About 16 good draft beers, a few more in bottles, plus they have all the basics, plus a few upscale choices, for wine and spirits. As for the food... the bulgogi, which is not on the menu, is delicious and at a better price point than Spice (which is also good). Has very good wings, and fantastic char-shu pork rolls. Tony behind the bar is very friendly and quiet funny when you get to know him. Lastly, the restaurant is very, very clean and tidy. Heartily recommend. read more

A large menu it's quick and easy the bartender is always very attentive and friendly. Good cocktail menu and TJ drinks are always yummy

This was my first time at Meto Pub. I really enjoyed the relax and layback atmosphere here. Service was over the top great. The owner (Tony) was very attentive as soon as you arrived. Asian fusion was good from American to Korean to Vietnamese. I really enjoyed my experience here. I will be back! read more

We decided to grab dinner at a new (to us) casual restaurant in our neighborhood Walmart parking lot. Meto Pub had an early dinner crowd at 6:30 but the waiter seated us promptly at a booth. Menus were placed and our drink order taken. Ten minutes later we received waters and our waiter said drinks were on the way. After 7:00 I flagged down another waiter and asked about our drinks. Finally at 7:08 our drinks arrived. Our food arrived 2 minutes later. The food was tasty. If you find yourself waiting, speak up. We will try Meto Pub again, hopefully with more timely delivery of drinks and food. read more

I always saw this place as I drove by but never stopped in and then a friend asked me to meet him there for lunch and glad I did. The food was great and very quick service and the bar had many different things to watch on TV and good music playing as well. The owner is very friendly and always goes extra mile to get things right on the menu.. read more

The service was good. Both my wife and I found the food undercooked and smelled like raw meat. It was very unpleasant. We had been here before when it was much better read more

This is a great neighborhood spot with a welcoming vibe. Tony, the owner, is incredibly warm and friendly and makes everyone feel at home the moment they walk in. The regular menu is very good quality--fresh, well prepared, and satisfying--but the Korean menu really stands out and is excellent. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality, and they do have a liquor license. It's a perfect place to watch the game, or to stop in for a casual lunch or dinner. Highly recommended. read more

Great place. Best ribs ever. Portions are large and good for 2 meals. Nice people, great service. Clean tables. read more

This is a unique place. Super tasty bbq and some super delicious Asian dishes as well. Great place to hang at the bar and watch the game too

It feels like there's a bit of an identity crisis here - the menu is extensive (too extensive, honestly) and ranges from hot dogs to a salmon entree to Korean BBQ. When I see that, it usually makes me think they're going for quantity over quality, and that was where I landed at Meto. I decided to get the crab rangoon and pot stickers appetizers for my meal, and my husband got the salmon entree. He really liked his meal, but mine felt uninspired without much flavor. Our service was great, and parking was easy, but I can't quite figure out what Meto Pub wants to be. read more

Last year I absolutely loved my first visit here. Today (about a year later) I've decided I probably never need to return. They weren't busy at all so we sat down right away. Server came right away and she was friendly. Food was mediocre. The complimentary hush puppies were probably the only thing I liked out of the whole meal. We opted to split a 521 platter grilled chicken, ribs, fries and beans. The meat was ok. I liked the chicken even though it was drenched in way too much sauce and my bf said the ribs were blah. Beans were good but the fries were horrible. They distinctively tasted like old grease. Even dipped in ketchup they were not good. We called the waitress over and told her what was going on and after a moment of silence post complaint we just asked to try the Mac and cheese instead. Eh..bland and flavorless. Definitely not the mac I was hoping for. We were up-charged $2 on the bill for the mac which wasn't a huge issue (would of been nice to know but w/e) but it was weird that no one every apologized or looked into the issue that we originally complained about. A manager even came over to ask how everything was, we told him about the fries and he didn't say anything just brought us over wet naps and walked away. Maybe this was just an off day but outside of getting some hush puppies to go I can't see myself coming back here again. read more

Amazingly delicious food and great service! The space is well laid out and has a beautiful wall behind the bar that gives a great vibe. We walked in and ordered take out. They treated us as though we were dining in. We played cornhole outside while we waited. I ordered the Appetizers Sampler Platter and chose Crab Ragoons, Mandu and Fried Zucchini Sticks. I also got the Signature Combo Plate and got Brisket with vinegar based bbq sauce and Korean Sweet Chili Grilled Chicken Wings. We also got a side of french fries and fried okras (sorry no pics - we ate those in the car)! The flavors were just outstanding! Can I say that everything was my favorite? The crab ragoons were crunchy and creamy just perfect! The fried dumplings were well seasoned and had amazing flavor and I really enjoyed the golden fried zucchini. As for the brisket, OMG, so tender, falling apart, and just this unforgettable smoky flavor. The wings were perfectly cooked and the sauce had a great kick to it! I've been thinking about trying this restaurant for some time and am so glad we decided to stop here today. I will definitely return! read more

I always look for different BBQ places when I'm in NC/SC area. I purchased a chopped BBQ sandwich, it was just chopped meat , no seasoning with bbq sauce. I'm definitely not a fan of unseasoned meat. The service was fast, the place was empty at the time. read more

Great food and drink. Customer service is good and the waiter is charming. The atmosphere is nice a pleasant

The new owners Tony & Meri are such nice people and the food is elevated from the previous owners. New menu items and fully remodeled bar which is beautiful. The Q is always good & Tony's upgraded white slaw is excellent, they're always adding new menu items. Waygu burger is very tasty. Do yourself a favor and have a pear martini, it's delicious. I hope they have lots of success, always try to support local places and especially new business owners. read more

I'm writing this review a year after we went and I'm trying to remember everything, but I'll be honest, I don't. Here's what I do remember... I remember coming here and it was not busy. We were greeted immediately and were seated just as quickly. It was lunch time and we had two servers - one was being trained. It was a pleasant experience. Nothing was too complicated that day. We asked what they recommended because why not? It was our first time here and why not test their knowledge of what they serve. That's a thing, right? (The answer is always "yes.") I couldn't tell you what I ordered, but I'm sure I took a picture of it on my phone... alas, I'm typing this review on my laptop. I recall the food was good and remember thinking we'd probably come back because the atmosphere was nice and so was the service. I feel like the food must have been pretty good that day. We moved to the area the month after this visit. It is now over a year that I'm writing this review and we have not made it back. It's not because we live far away. In fact, I could probably walk here on a not so hot or humid day. I should make it a point to get back and write a better review because the day we came, I left 5 stars, but not the actual review, so it must have been a pretty good visit. I'll have leave an updated review and give this place justice! read more

Haven't been here in a while used to be one of my favorite barbecue places to go and eat they have new owners. The whole place has been remodeled when I walked in the place reeked of Clorox from mopping the floors and that was at 12:30 on Monday so it didn't smell anything like barbecue or what a good aroma should be like when you walk in a barbecue restaurant I noticed I was the only person in there at 12:30 at lunch and took it that was a bad sign that this place was different looked up the reviews saw several people posting where the side portions are tiny now the barbecue is just OK so I decided to leave yourmileage may vary.. read more

Delicious. They have great service And the ambiance is great. I love there food all together

So we were looking forward to some bbq. I noticed on the yelp reviews it mentioned this was a family owned business. So, instead of going to the usual Macs Speed Shop or something, we thought the quality of food would be better here. One good thing about this place is that they have Blue Moon on draft. Yeah ! My husband got a German draft beer and both of us liked that also. The waitress was a sweetheart and brought us hushpuppies. Omg these were soooo good. I haven't had hushpuppies this good since Hyman's in Charleston. Who knows, maybe they are using their mix because they are THAT good. This set up high expectations for the rest of the meal, which unfortunately fell flat. My husband got the grilled chicken with bbq sauce on it. It was just ok. To me, it was like a thin slice of breast you'd buy at Sam's Club that was pan fried in a grillpan to give it grill marks. Otherwise, it had no texture or flavor. I got the combo with the same chicken and ribs. If you must stop here, definitely get the ribs. They were meaty and flavorful. I got the collard greens and baked beans. Again, no flavor and the collards weren't really cooked down enough. They were tasteless and watery, while somewhat dry... like, how is that even possible? My husband got the fries as a side and they were limp and no seasoning. *sigh* Well, perhaps the pulled pork or pulled chicken options are better. The waitress did suggest those instead. However, I personally would go with the ribs and hushpuppies if you come here. Good luck on the other sides. read more

During our annual trek to SC to buy fireworks for the 4th of July we decided to eat here before heading home. Wife and I both ordered a regular pulled pork barbeque sandwich with red slaw. The sandwich was packed with barbeque which had a nice smoky flavor and lots of bark. You could also see the pink smoke ring in the meat. We also got a complementary bowl of hushpuppies that were two bites size balls with a hint of sweetness that were good. Fries were standard food service crinkle cut fries. Choice of three sauces, a tomato based sauce, a mustard based sauce and an Eastern Carolina/Lexington style vinegar dip. Our server Joseph was good and checked on frequently and offered us refills. The only reason I didn't rate this place higher is they have a bar up front and numerous times during our meal people at the bar got way, way louder than we would have liked for them to be which distracted from our meal. If we had wanted to eat in a very loud bar type atmosphere, then we would have gone to a bar. With drinks, tax and tip it was a hair over $30. While we liked the barbeque, we only stopped here because were in the area and don't know if we come back down for fireworks next year if we would stop here again due to noise level coming from the bar. read more

I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could. Kevin thought it was a 3 and I would probably give it a 3.5-4. Five of us arrived here close to 2 on a Saturday, and the place was packed. We all happened to order the same thing - pulled pork sandwich with a side. I actually liked the pork with their tomato based sauce. Kevin just thought it was okay. It's hard to give these places anything more than just okay when you have had Midwood Smokehouse bbq. The fries were just okay, but I liked the creamy and cheesy macaroni and cheese! I would go back for proximity and ease of getting some bbq, but there are definitely better bbq places out there. read more

Meto Pub - Small pulled pork sandwich with creamy mac and cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Tega Cay, South Carolina

Have been here more times than I can count. Why? It is a family-run business that treats people well AND they have really good food. Sit at the bar, strike up a conversation and enjoy yourself. Oh, and the sliced brisket, pulled pork, collard greens (made in-house) and burgers are great. Try some of Pop's homemade dry spices on the meat or greens,, or Mama's homemade dressing on their Greek salad. read more

Had the grilled chicken with fried okra and white slaw. Good portions and tasted great. Waiter kept a good check on us the entire time.

521 bbq has to have one of the best smoked , bone in chicken breast I've had in the Carolina's . It was super moist , packed with flavor , and the sides were equally delicious . Do we have one of these in Charlotte, NC? YUM The collards were seasoned just like my grandmother made them , the green beans were fresh and not soggy , the potato salad was tiny in portion but it tasted exceptional too . No one at our table had any complaints , everyone was too busy licking their fingers in between each bite . read more

Great place to eat at with great service! Very large portions so great for splitting withe someone! Food is 10/10!!

Overpriced for just average food. I've never gotten anything that was terrible but never had a meal that made me want to go back and every time I've been I've thought how overpriced the food was. Bummer. read more

still has not learned to pull out fat chunks and gristle table spoon size from their BBQ. TEACH YUR COOKS HOW TO DO THIA WHEN CHOPPING BBQ. And dont expect to get much sauce with yur order without paying for xtra but if you dine in, you get all you want. $42 spent, a hand full of gristle & fat and 2 teaspoons of sauce. You lost a customer 521. Will you learn from this review or will you make changes? Dont care. Im done. read more

Barbeque is excellent, they even sell BBQ containers by the pound - to go - great Smokey flavor.

Living less than a minute away, I have only made it by 521 two times since they opened. But, they sure do serve some good 'Que. They don't short you in the amount of food they give you either and for a pretty good price! I think it's smart (if you don't eat a lot) to get the two meat plate or tray [depending on the number of sides you want] and it will end up being two meals. That's what I did, as you see pictured, I doubled up on the chopped pork. The second half was taken to work for lunch the next day. Though I didn't care for the green beans, the overall plate was tasty! The QuietDogs, as a complimentary muncher, were a nice fried treat! QuietDogs, you ask? Yeah ... HushPuppies! You're welcome. :) Check for the Daily Specials too! Wednesday was $3 craft beer night. Nice! They offer a different special everyday, well except for Monday - they are CLOSED! They ain't wingin' it here: I do have to say they have the BEST (non breaded) wings I have ever eaten in the Charlotte area! I ate one off a friends plate.. WOW! I should've ordered the wings. I guess I'll have to return... read more
