    Smash Burger

    The two of us were staying at a hotel nearby for a one-night pre-cruise stay. After the grueling hour and a half ride from LGA to the hotel in Friday rush hour traffic, we were ready for good drinks and food, neither of which the hotel had. Thankfully the friendly Bartender at the hotel recommended this place and we walked the short distance. Our understanding was the restaurant had recently opened, so we were trusting the recommendation and boy was he right! I loved the Malbec I had so much I had two of them. Husband just did a couple Makers Marks. Both of us wanted Burgers. I had the King Cheesy one with no onion ($21) while he chose a Smashed Burger. ($19). Both came with fantastic hand-cut fries. Our burgers were juicy, perfectly cooked and flavorful. Service was terrific. Absolutely loved our experience here! They did add a small "operating fee", for using a credit card, but if you want to avoid that, pay cash. Nothing unusual these days for businesses, and I don't blame them for trying to recoup what the credit card companies are charging them.

    I had come here on the first night they had opened to give a try to their food which I found to be too expensive for a neighborhood like Sunset Park so I had not gone back until now. I had dressed up for my daughter's school dance since I was chaperoning and didn't want my female Joker costume to go to waste so I looked for Halloween parties nearby in my social media. I came across a post of The King Of Meat promoting a Halloween dance party along with a costume contest. By the time we got there at 11pm, the kitchen had closed, which was a bummer because I had remembered loving their Patron Guacamole and wanted to try it again. So my family and I ordered drinks, which were about $20. I still believe that's too expensive for the neighborhood we were at but that night I was looking for city vibes without having to take the train all the way out to Manhattan and I found it here. The drinks had fun names like Chupamelo and El Negrito. They were also super strong so I was feeling festive by the second drink. The DJ was playing good music from all eras and genres. I was disappointed that they didn't open the dance floor in the basement, which was much bigger than the little dancing area on the main floor, but there wasn't that many people there that night. I think that it helped us get more into dancing and interact with one another because of how small the dance area was...reminded me of a family dance party at my uncle's living room, which was always a good time. Then it was time for the competition and I had a blast walking down the bar area showing off my costume. I ended up winning second place and won free drinks for me and my family. By the end of the night, my Joker make-up was smeared and my wig was off and that to me meant that I had a good Halloween celebration.

    Dropped in with a friend, on Sunday evening to try some of the tacos. We both were not very impressed. We ordered the Whiz, slow cooked ribeye taco. Very underwhelmed by the flavor and it was such a chewy piece of meat. Ribeye done well is so tender. We also had the bareback, quesadilla with chicken swarma. Chicken was decent in flavors, but the quesadilla overall was not good. It's filled with way too much cheese ( looks like the cheap kind) it was a cold big glob of cheese. The drinks were decent, nothing to rave about in my opinion and the service was pretty standard. Nice looking place, really wanted to like it. I don't see myself going back.

    First time trying this spot in my neighborhood of sunset park and the ambiance was really nice and big. 2 floors definitely great for groups and after work vibes, and brunch. I love the fact that they have outlets everywhere by every seat and table. I tried their Monday special which was unlimited ribeye with a choice of salad or fries, I went this salad. Salad was very fresh light dressing I really enjoyed it. The steak was thin, but juicy. It came on a bed of salt which did make it a bit salty I had to remove it off the salt to enjoy it. The service was 9/10 bartender was very friendly and informative. I would come back and try the other items on the menu.

    Awesome service at the bar!!! We got the burger which was 10/10. We shared it as it was a good amount and we weren't that hungry. We also got the melted cheese w/ steak. We came in around Sunday at 4pm right before they got busy. I love the decor and lighting. I need to come back to try the drinks.

    King of Meat is a great new taqueria restaurant that opened up! It gave Old Western vibes with its decor, and they did a great job with the decor. When I went on a weekday evening, it wasn't crowded at all which I liked. I was basically the only one at the restaurant which was great. They also had great music and were playing throwback music from 2011-2014! The service was also absolutely amazing, the server was really friendly and informative. They also suggested good things to try on their menu based on our palette or what we would like. I loved their onion mushroom taco, it was really flavorful, and the flour for the taco was amazing. The balsamic vinaigrette salad they paired with the steak was also really amazing. Their steak was really tender, juicy, hearty, and salty. It also had a great amount of salt in it due to the pink Himalayan ice they put underneath the steak which was really cool, and gives the steak a really good punch of salt in it. Check this place out for a good Old Western taqueria with amazing tacos and steak!

    Party of 4, had automatic gratuities added
    Sumen Z.

    Came here around 5:30 on a Friday night. Asked about happy hour and what was included, they said there was no menu and after the bartender and server conversed we were told only beers($5) and certain liquors ($9) the only food available was guacamole for $10. We ended up ordering beer and appetizers while waiting for friend (he got stuck with work and came about 20minutes late) We only had 4 people (can check cameras if don't believe all the other tables were only parties of 2, we were the only party of 4) and had automatic gratuities added to the check, was told either cash or Zelle & when I asked about happy hour beer pricing after we got the check, I was told it was only available for the first round(was never informed) Beef carpaccio was good, came with a little salad in the middle, only issue is that it also came with a piece of clear plastic wrap Steaks were bland, was told because it came on the salt piece they don't add additional salt/flavoring..but then comes the question. Is the salt piece washed or cleaned in between guests? Each piece had to be purposefully rubbed/smeared on the salt piece to get any flavoring... the tomahawk was 30% fat pieces and overcooked. Asked it to be medium rare (more on the rare side because lots of reviews said overcooked) The pesto pappardella was bland; tasted like they only used the paste and no additional salt or flavorings. Steaks took about 20-35minutes to come, after appetizers were cleared, we saw the table next to us get their steak; finish it, pay and leave and we were still waiting... Servers were very good at clearing the table of food and drinks, even if there's stuff left in or on the plates and cups. My beer had a good inch left inside and it was removed, the potato croquettes had one left (out of 5?6?) and we were asked if we still wanted it...don't know why he was rushing to clear the table when the steaks and food didn't arrive for another 20-35min. Water was not refilled until asked & the "large lemonade" was just a regular cup with lemons squeezed inside, friend said there was no sugar added (for $7 dollars?!)

    Steak was fine, but not memorable. It was a bit overcooked for my taste. The sauce helped a bit. The portion size was good. Overall, just an average meal.

    The service was amazing. I went a lunch time and there was only one server. Super nice and friendly. He had everything under control. The food was amazing, plus the presentation was very nice. I really like the inside. I would highly recommend this place.

    Visited . Probably the best meat spot in the area . I've got burger and chicken quesadillas.crazy good beer selection but not this time , driving , was happy they carry non alcoholic options . Friendly staff and great service .Rowin bartender took care of us perfectly. Will be back in July .

    Guacamole and chips.

    This was my first visit to the King of meats. We had guacamole, steak quesadilla and cheeseburger. The restaurant is pretty and looks like a good place for a night out (I went at brunch time). The bartender/server was pleasant and attentive. He made sure we knew he was available to us for any questions. They were playing 80s music and the accompanying video on their tv screen. We started off with the guacamole and chips, which was a little confusing at first because the chips are all on top of the guacamole. The guacamole was good but prefer chips on side. I had the steak quesadilla which was very tasty and had a little garlic in it that made it stand out. The garlic made it come alive so it was really good. My boyfriend had the burger which he said was in the top 5 burgers he's ever had. It was a good size, not overly seasoned and just cooked perfectly. We will be returning!!

    I was honestly shocked by how much I loved this place! We did the tasting menu, which was $65 per…read moreperson, and I also ordered the passion fruit cocktail. It was fab! Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

    4.5 stars, 5 for food and 4 for service…read more Food was delish! My favorites were the gem salad elote and the guac. We also got the crispy snapper taco and the duck to share. I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
