The food was decent, and by decent I mean passable but not more so, and I had the meat combo platter. The meal was pricey in terms of what you get on …

We decided to give this place a second shot since going one evening around 7:00 pm on a Friday and then being out of everything but chicken. We arrived around 5:15 about an hour after open on a Saturday and they were out of half their menu. The food was good, fall off the bone ribs, crispy taters, juicy chicken and good BBQ sauce. I was hoping to have tried the brisket or pulled pork but they were out. I think they should have their ordering down by now since they have been opened for some time now. They were out of everything before 6:00pm.
They are called meatings but ran out of most meats other than chicken. It wasn’t really good, and it was way overpriced. StHubert is down the same street for chicken so I have no reason to return to meatings.
Very expensive for what you get. Their pulled pork is amazing but is the only thing I would reorder. I’ve tried the brisket, ribs and jackfruit and all were just ok. Too bad since we were looking for a great BBQ place since D&S BBQ mysteriously closed.
What a great surprise to have this in Orleans! We had a couple of samplers. Everything was tender and flavorful. The cornbread as someone had pointed out was dry though even with the generous portion. The sauce was tart and worked well against the smoke. The tater tots were crispy. The ribs were falling off the bone. The chicken was tender a moist. The pineapple was sweet and juicy. This is a gem of a place and we are lucky to have them here.
The first and most obvious thing when walking in to Meatings is the decor. They put a lot of thought and time into it no doubt. It was a pleasant surprise.Next step is service. The person at the cash was welcoming: enquired how I heard about the place, if I live in the area… and took the time to explain how it works since it was my first time there. I noticed the crew at the back that was working hard and seemed very focused.The best part was the food. I ended up getting a sampler: ribs, chicken, smoked beans, corn bread, tart and pink lemonade. Everything tasted good although the cornbread was a bit too dry. The grilled lemon added a nice touch to the pink lemonade.The real highlight of my plate was the ribs: fall off the bone, smoked to perfection, not too sweet, tender and juicy. It was exquisite. The best I’ve had so far. I will definitely be going back for more ribs and to try other items on the menu.
Had the pulled pork on a bun and the mac n cheese side. Authentic slow and low BBQ for sure. Can’t wait to go back and try the other menu items. Well priced and just the right food amount. Definitely a must try if you are in Orleans.
Update March 13,2017There was an entire menu change, they removed all combos options and everything has increased 20 % or more. The cashier is not even honest when I asked the question about the change.When I ordered at the counter the kitchen looked dirty.I am not sure if people will accept this huge price increase hidden in a new menu. They should not take their clients for granted. Highly disappointed.Update December 4, 2017Being a huge baked beans fan, I gave them another chance and asked directly the question. They answered that yes there beans are now the canned stuff which they add BBQ sauce to, yark Also please let me point out that the beans do not contain as much meat as before, it is almost absent from the dish. This is not a good way to cut corners. Wake up !!!Server also mentioned that the have more canned stuff like the pickles and other items, what ???Guys come on BBQ is like a religion, please respect it since you are charging top dollars for your food where we end up paying for the canned stuffI strongly invite the owners to respond and tell us why the food has taken such a big hit.Update August 27Just figured out that they switched their home baked BBQ bean for canned stuffNot impressed at allGreat place, great BBQ, try the sampler plate. AMAZING staff and homemade BBQ sauce. I highly recommend this place. They even have free refills on pink lemonade and give you pop corn while you wait.Please go and try everything !!!
