Meat District Co

Great food with excellent service and good lay out

We had a lovely family dinner, something that we haven't done for a long time. We really enjoyed Meat District Co, the food, the service and the cocktails were amazing. The location was fabulous and my family hasn't stopped raving about it. Thank you for a wonderful night!

The food and service at Meat District Co was excellent. Great portion sizes and delicious. The service was on point - overall great dining experience - will definitely recommend

I had seen a lot of photos and reviews on Google and admittedly did not have high expectations of the food. However, we were very impressed with our meals and thoroughly enjoyed the dishes that we ordered.
I had the sliders, and really couldn't fault these burgers at all - they were flavourful and very filling, and each burger was filled with large pieces/portions and a generous amount of sauce in each so that the burgers were not dry or lacking.
One of my companions ordered the portuguese chicken burger, and she also really enjoyed her burger (however she did point out that the burger did not have the chilli mayo that was stated on the menu).
We also ordered a full rack of pork ribs to share, and we were really impressed with these! We both agreed these were much better than ribs from some of the well known restaurants. The ribs were large and the bones had a lot of meat on them, which came off so easily and it was basted really well. We were licking the bones clean! The salad that came with the ribs were also a great accompaniment.
Staff were also very friendly and it was easy to get their attention when needed. We also had no issues when we arrived and told them we booked through FirstTable, and the bill was sorted accordingly.
Location also wonderful, with the views of the wharf - really great place to dine when the weather is beautiful.
The only thing I would probably say is slightly disappointing is that the burgers (and a lot of the other meals) do not come with chips or salad on the side... I would have expected these to come with the meals at a restaurant.
I will definitely come back again to dine here!

Good mix of food on the menu to cater for all types of eaters and moods! great attentive staff, will definitely be back to try the diverse menu.

Delicious food. The truffle fries are so good!! Yummy cocktails and we were lucky to be in at happy hour. Such good value! Definitely will be back

The food and the service were great! We both had steaks and they were cooked to perfection!

Delicious food and cocktails, arrived wirh plenty of time to enjoy happy hour and indulged in a few Pimms! Steak cooked perfectly and the side watermelon salad was so refreshing and yum! Will be back for sure!

This is our second time to Meat & District Co, probably we were too amazed with the first time experience. Other than the steak, ribs, sweet potato fries and watermelon salad are beautiful. Steak is a bit overcooked than our expectations, the meat has a little bit burnt on top that tasted bitter.

Been here a few times, still amazing

Service by waiters and food were 10 out 10 but the Manager's attitude bought the whole experience down. When I went to pay for my meal, The Manger was extremely rude and appeared to be annoyed I was using the voucher. You could even see that the bar staff were embarrassed by the Manager's behavior.

Couldn't fault this place at all, food servings were huge and really tasty, we had the charcuterie board to start and then both went for the half ribs and sirloin platter plus the fact our booking was at 6pm and happy hour was on till 7 was a bonus!
Would 100% reccomend to anyone after a good steak and ribs!
Thanks

Just great! I went on weekday and it was buzzing with people. Service was great, food was great and happy hour drinks! Wonderful experience on good price and happy to recommand to anyone.

Had a great time at Meat District Co. Food was absolutely amazing. The grilled watermelon salad is always my favourite!

Great food will go back. Starters also worth trying

What an amazing night we had with a view overlooking Darling Harbour. The meal was incredible with scrumptious meats and fresh, fresh salads. The beer and wine flowed freely while we enjoyed happy hour. Our waitress who came from Italy served us with suburb friendly professional service. The Meat District tops the list as one of our favourite.

Amazing food! Best steak and ribs we have ever had. We ordered rib eye and sirloin and ribs combo but were brought to rib eyes, although the wrong items were brought it’s all about how they deal with the situation and they couldn’t have fixed it or apologised any better. My partner kept the rib eye and was then brought the ribs later along with extra fries to say sorry! Will be back when in Sydney again for sure! Amazing guys!

Had the barramundi and it was delicious!

Went to Meat District for our kid birthday. Mixed impression. Service was excellent, staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful but unintrusive. Some foods were also good, like fries and onion rings (hard to fail :)), seared barramundi, and rocket salad with peanuts was excellent. But others were far from expectation. Cured meat platter was unimpressive - mortadella, sopressa quite ordinary; prosciutto was definitely sliced hours before serving and left on air so it dried, hardened, and even curled; only basturma-type cured beef was good. Medallion steak was cooked well and yummy except the sides were very bitter as if they were burnt although didnt look like it. Most disappointing were beef brisket burger (most expensive on menu!) and pulled pork sandwich: both completely lacked salt but were as sweet as desert! We speculated the chef might have confused salt with sugar.
We did not complain cos didnt want to spoil birthday and not to upset the staff who wasnt at fault for what their chef made. Besides, it was half-price deal so, apparently, it may have been fair to get only about half food decent :).

We had a really lovely time at Meat District Co, a restaurant that is very reasonably priced for the part of Sydney it's in! We had some nice views out into the harbour, I particularly enjoyed the medallion steaks with a red wine chilli jus, this was a really unique sauce that was paired with delicious meat.

We arrived 15 mins earlier but were seated on our table in no time. It was a nice table on the second floor and was perfect to escape the chilly weather outside. We ordered our drinks, a shared main followed by desserts. The staff were very efficient and the wait times were reasonable. Food was very good and desserts were even better. Totally enjoyed my experience and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Fantastic steak and our waitress was lovely. Will happily done here again

we booked for 6 pm but we were very hungry and it was only 4.45pm We tried anyway to get a table earlier and they were very happy to oblige.
Could be happier and the service was excellent. Will come back for sure!

Excellent service and food. Left the restaurant extremely happy.

lovely meal

No questions, just get the ribs!! Absolutely beautiful, loads of meat and sauce on them! I got the ribs and sirlion combo which was a lot of food (as you would imagine) but definitely worth it, the steak was lovely and complimented by the garlic sauce - creamy and not too garlicy even for a garlic lover. The prices were also very reasonable for good food, we will be returning in the future.

The service and food was great. We were still treated as normal customers and they honoured the First Table booking with no fuss. Love the location and the atmosphere as well.

Super full and happy. Will definitely go back to this restaurant.

Nice meal however location of table, by the toilets, wasn’t the best. Food was enjoyable and plenty to fill hungry teens. Good atmosphere and service.

My boyfriend and I had a great dining experience at Meat District Co last night. The food portion and taste was absolutely beautiful. We had sweet potato fries, rib eye and wings and rib combo, the food definitely wins my heart. We not only have the half price deal from first table, also we have the happy hour drink. The catering services were really good! I will definitely go back to eat there again! Highly recommend!

Good food. Great atmosphere and excellent customer service. First experience on first table. Can't wait for next one.

Very good experience, because it was state origin night. Have to leave earlier. Will be back.

Steaks were cooked as requested and service was prompt

Highly recommended Great food and service

Great dining experience. We all got the steak and ribs combo. Steak was really great and perfectly cooked. The pork ribs were well flavoured but slightly overcooked/chewy. Was expecting them to fall off the bone. Still lovely though and would definitely go back.

This place has a nice ambient feeling all around, great seating arrangements, quiet and you’ll feel quite relaxed sitting either inside or outside in their dining area. Staff were attentive. Food was great. Would recommend.

Great food, great amosphere and staff very friendly

Amazing food! The service was great, from the manager to the lovely waitresses... we will definitely come back to this place!

Great service and food! Value for money, we had 2 full ribs, onion rings and a steak The portions are crazy and I love the fresh chips that come along as well. Service crew were really sweet too

Arrival experienced is great ,food is average service is fast. They should have add more side dish with fish like salad

Great food and atmosphere. Went there with my family for my birthday celebration. The food was spot on with variety of meat dishes. There is also a dedicated kids menu for the little ones. We'd love to go there again.

Very attentive staff, food excellent, would reccomend this vibrant dining experience.

Nice place for families. Staff are friendly but will come and ask if you’re ready quite often so it’s a bit rushed, but the atmosphere is nice and the food is pretty delicious. The steaks could use a bit more flavour (it was a little overcooked), but the entrees were incredible. I recommend the watermelon salad and fries in particular.

When i went to other restaurants through first table i was not made to feel like i booked discounted table thru first table. Here i did. Table location wasn't good and they charged full and had to rectify and then asked for the voucher. Burger was not bad. Just average burger. So will not go back half price or full price.

Ribs were delicious and juicy! We had the choice to sit in or out and chose a table by the window overlooking the harbour. Service was pleasant

Food was great and great value with first table. Will definitely go again. Only hiccup was when it was time to pay they weren’t aware it was a first table reservation and took awhile to sort out things.

Great family night with first tables. We got the share meat platter with the rack of beef and pork, steak, hamburger with chips and a side salad. The boys really enjoyed their meal and loved the pork ribs. My favourite was the beef ribs and the hamburger was juicy and tasty. Highly recommended.

We sat on the level above overlooking the harbour. It's beautiful view. Ribs and chicken wings are beautiful and taste great. Steak aren't great. Ordered medium but came out overcooked. Considering it's a meat restaurant this shouldn't have happened.

Me and a few friends booked last minute for a colleagues birthday. We had excellent service and amazing food. The waitress was super pleasant and even went the extra mile to find a candle to put in my friends cake.
Definitely would book again

We had the best evening! Using first table for the first time was a great experience, it allowed you to order whatever food you wanted without having the worry of the cost. Will definitely be using first table again
