Meats and Foods: Reviews & Ratings
Small quaint shop where you can get chili inspired dishes or breakfast items for dine or or to go. Pack your patience as most items take 20-30 minutes when there are other patrons in front of you. I saw that you could place an order online but most items weren't available. If you are in a rush they do have a few almost ready or grab and go items that you can get fairly quickly. They have a few low and tall stools and not so much standing room on a rainy day like today. Parking is iffy and at your own risk. The halfsmoke had a hint of spice with a slightly tough exterior and I would prefer it grilled a little longer. The chili was ok, when I tasted it by itself and I was full so I didn't get a ch ace to try the blueberry turnover but it says it's made fresh in house. Not sure I will drive back downtown for a $20 halfsmoke, fresh squeezed lemonade that was full of ice and a turnover....not knowing if my car was going to have a ticket on it.
We have been sleeping on Meat and Foods for way too long! We decided to stop by on a Sunday morning, and we were in luck since their biscuits are only available on Sundays. I recommend arriving early to avoid waiting over an hour for your food. Everything is made fresh in-house, and the restaurant is run by a husband-and-wife duo, which is why there can be a wait depending on the number of orders. Our biscuit sandwiches were STUFFED with ingredients, and the meat-to-egg ratio was perfect. The biscuit itself was buttery and flaky. You definitely get your money's worth at Meat and Foods. The space is small but very cozy! It is definitely a neighborhood gem and we have found our new favorite breakfast spot in the city. I can't recommend them enough!
Yes yes yes! This was so amazing! The Chillito was so good! The chilli inside was very tasty and well seasoned. As well as the bacon egg and cheese. The bacon was so crispy and delicious. It is a small place but the vibes were very and I loved their plants and Garfield collection. 10/10 I will be coming back
One of my favorite places to go for breakfast. Yes there can be a decent wait so plan appropriately. Get a chilito (or veggilito) and enjoy. Breakfast sandwiches are great whether in a potato roll or tortilla. Whole you're there buy a pack of tortillas to cook up at home or some sausages for a rainy day. You won't be disappointed!
big fan of meats and foods. great local spot with nice workers and theres about 4 seats inside, but also solid amount of outdoor seating. my breakfast sandwich was delicious and everyone I was with loved what they got. I feel like their menu has something for everyone from their chilito to their breakfast all day options. the space is tiny but warm and homey feeling.
Wouldn't say I love meats but I do love Meats and Foods! There's a lot to unpack about why this place is so great. First, the decor - plants, bobble heads, Garfield, need I say more? Second, the food itself was just what I wanted for a solid, delicious breakfast. The potatoes are fried and oh so delicious and they go great with eggs and cheese for the breakfast bowl! I didn't try the sandwich but that looked good too! Third, it's tucked away in a location where you probably won't find a ton of options otherwise. I don't think I'd ever had passed it before, so don't miss it in its tucked away location off Rhode Island! Finally, it's not too expensive or over-the-top. It's just the right amount of good food, good vibes, and good costs all around.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Go no place else for high quality comfort food. They use real butter!! (Three people said this in line.) Scott, the owner, has displayed grace and style in the whole joint. For a smaller footprint it's super clean. Food is 100% delicious. Garfield approves! IYKYK
Cool place with a ton of Garfield themed decor. There's a very limited amount of seating so most people get their orders to go. Highly recommend getting here early, because they only have one person cooking so unless you're one of the earliest customers (we were first in line), it may take a while to get your food. I definitely recommend the breakfast burrito, which they have on Saturdays. All the ingredients were such high quality (LOVE their tortillas, eggs were perfectly cooked, salsa delicious, hashbrowns added a nice crunch), it's definitely one of the better breakfast burritos I've had. My sister got the halfsmoke sausage with chili, which was also delicious with tons of flavor. Would absolutely return the next time I'm in DC, if I'm around the area.
