Meat Moot Burbank / Illinois — Restaurant in Stickney Township

UPDATE: I visited this place again because I wanted to give it a second chance, and they always upsell—that’s the worst part.

Before going in, I called to ask about the price of 1 lb of beef brisket, and they told me it would be $51 with tax. But when I went in and bought it, I noticed they gave me more than 1 lb—1.06 lb—and charged me $60 for it!

They always upsell! If I had known they were going to charge me extra for that 0.06 lb, I would have asked for exactly 1 lb. What the hell? This place is already pricey, and on top of that, they push extra charges?

And then there’s this ridiculous $9 “extra person” charge. If two people order, they expect them to get a full beef brisket. But if they order half a beef brisket, they charge an extra $9 just for “serving an extra person.” Excuse me?

Half a beef brisket is more than enough for two people—how can you decide if it’s enough or not? Why do you have this rule that if two people are dining, they must order a full beef brisket? This is just blatant upselling. Absolutely ridiculous.

Old review: I called to place an order for the lunch special. A lady answered my call, and when I told her I wanted to order a lunch special, she asked me to wait. After 4-5 minutes, she came back and ended the call without saying anything. Since I didn’t have much time before the lunch special hours ended, I decided to call again and place the order while I was on my way. However, I was treated this way instead.

When I finally arrived with my friend, we ordered a half brisket. The employee tried to upsell us, saying it wouldn’t be enough for two people, but we chose not to listen.

Later, we asked the server to refill our Dynamite sauce for the third time. This wasn’t unreasonable since even one person eating a half brisket would likely request three refills. We were mindful about not over-consuming. The server said she needed to ask someone if she could refill it. When she returned, she brought piping hot sauce that wasn’t the Dynamite sauce. We asked her again for the correct sauce, but she brought a different sauce once more. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not.

Even though we paid, we still felt guilty for dining in. The staff kept staring at us, making us feel very uncomfortable and awkward.

This was the first time we experienced this. None of the servers seemed interested in helping us, which was very different from our last visit. Previously, when I went with my family and ordered a lot of food, the servers were attentive, checking in frequently to see if we needed anything. This time, however, the service was horrible, and they made us feel so unwelcome.

I don’t think I will ever go back to eat...

Greeting Foodzies, today we travel down south for all my southside FoodZies. We went to Meat Moot at 7990 s Harlem in Burbank. It’s a moderate size restaurant tucked away in a strip mall. The interior is kind of rustic, but euro at the same time. The menu is used from a QR code as you enter the restaurant. Once you make your selection on your phone, you relay it to the people working in the service area. Once you choose what meat you want the rest is the same for everybody. They have a nice variety of different beef and lamb, cuts (beef brisket, beef, shank, lamb, shank, beef ribs). Each meal is served with different Indian spices on top, and surrounding your cut of meat are different types of peppers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic. Also included in your meal, our four sides you get mashed potatoes, a cucumber tomato, kind of pico de gallo minus the onion, arugula salad with some red onions and coleslaw. All three very flavorful the coleslaw is large cut and refreshing. The cucumber tomato salad is a diced cucumber and tomato with a light oil And the arugula with the red onions also in a light oil sauce. A company these dishes are eight different sauces each in their own individual cup for dipping, you have everything from Honey, tzatziki, barbecue sauce, a vinegar based hot sauce, yogurt, another chopped tomato sauce, a relish type sauce, and a turmeric sauce. Each of these sauces when mixed with the different types of meats brings out a whole new flavor. There is plenty of food so you will not leave hungry, the beef brisket, and the lamb shank were extremely tender.  The only thing I found to be not so good was the potatoes were kind of cold and unevenly cooked; somewhere tender others had a hard skin and hard. Also, I would’ve liked a breakdown of all of the sauces when they were delivered; we had to more or less figure it out for ourselves. That aside, we will definitely be going back, we really enjoyed this meal. Another fun fact, all of the lunch meals are only $19.95 each and only includes the beef brisket and the lamb shank. The dinner on the other hand is $46.95 for each meal and has a larger variety of meat. I give this restaurant 5 stars. I hope you try it for yourself, and let me know what you think.
