MEATmarket

The food was alright. It felt like a fast food place, but the burgers are much better. I would have preferred they served my burger on a plate if I'm eating there. It is simple, the cheese on my cheeseburger got all over the paper wrapper.

Fun, casual dining when you need a greasy fix. I particularly like the artwork and peering into Jubilee Market below. Cool mix of music and quick service.

The dirty burgers are messy but that's the point, right? Cooked well and served in a wrap paper as they should be. So many types of sides and fries. We went with the buffalo fries which were topped with chunks of blue cheese and a side of spicy sauce. The winner was clearly the POPPA, jalapeño poppers that oozed cheesy goodness and ranch dipping sauce.

The shake was not too bad either. Great flavours and recommend the salted caramel. It was a bit smaller than expected for nearly £5 but a tasty treat. This place has clogged my arteries but I would say it was a good spot when you want a satisfying meal.

This was a recommendation from a transplanted Londoner, and we are so pleased we tried it. It is a bit hard to find, but convenient to Covent Gardens. It is upstairs and overlooks the market area.
It has a unique atmosphere like a deli in New York or Los Angeles. It is clearly a burger joint with a lot of additional offerings to make it special. My wife and I tried two different selections of chicken sandwiches, mine was a Chicken Parmesan and my wife had a Dirty Chicken. Both were very, very good. Bottomless cokes and excellent fries make for a delightful lunch.
OH, PRICE SPECIAL ALERT! If you have theater tickets, present them for a special price and special offerings. We saved about 30% on our order! Otherwise, not cheap, but worth the price!
We loved it here and would highly recommend it!

I've been coming to this chain since back when it was based in a van in East London. I followed it to New Cross, and to Meatliquor. This marks the second time I've been to MeatMarket - the first time was shortly after opening.

I arrived just after opening and I think I may have been the first customer of the day. I ordered what I think is some of the best chicken anywhere - the monkey fingers.

Took a seat and waited. After a fairly normal length of time, they brought the food to me - calling me by name, which I felt was a nice touch.

The fingers were as good as I remember from MeatLiqour. Spicy, tangy and crispy but not overly hot. Buffalo rather than chilli. The blue cheese sauce is the best I've ever had, basically because I don't think there's actually a great deal of blue cheese in it, but I prefer it that way.

Big portions, far more than I could finish. I mean the chicken filled one of those metal containers you get from a Chinese takeaway. It wasn't cheap at £13.50 for the chicken, chips and a soda. But it was awesome.

Went here on a Friday early afternoon. It was busy but the four of us managed to get a table. Decor isn't the nicest (wooden stools and tables, lots of red lighting overlooking the part of Covent Garden that sells a load of tourist tat). Maybe I'm just used to/spoilt by Birmingham prices but I thought £8.75 for just a burger was a bit mad. It was a good burger but not '£8.75 and doesn't even come with fries' good. Plus the fries were bloody £5 on top of this.

I won't be back. Londoners: if you're visiting Birmingham and want a burger then give Original Patty Men a visit.

I've been nipping into MEATmarket for a long time now, in fact when the burger craze started a good few years back - this was somewhere I'd make a pilgrimage over to, mainly because MEATliquor was more formal and MEATmission was just a twinkle in the owners eyes...Here it's like an upmarket fast food place which means you get premo burgers without thinking you're having to go out for a full expensive meal!

Situated under the less formal market part of Covent Garden and only a few mins from the tube - walk up a few stairs and through some old butchers doors and you're here in burger heaven.

There's some great burgers, fries, shakes and sides all available - on this occasion we tucked into 'Dead Hippy' burgers (fairly plain in toppings in today's crazy world on always going for more - but still amazing), fries and some deep fries pickled gherkins - really good all round for about £11 each.

Definitely worth calling in to if you wanna get your burger on!

Awesome burgers. Went for lunch and had the £10 special. Burger, HUGE amount of fries and unlimited soda. Would definitely come again. Our Hippie burger had a yummy sauce and we had it rabbit style (no bun). The buns were also great if you decide to eat it the regular way. Double patties were cooked and served perfectly.

A lot of effort and care has been taken with the decor here to try to persuade people to part with more than £10 to purchase a burger and fries from this take away joint.

However, while sitting in the midst of this hipster chic is fun, the burger itself disappoints. It is greasy (something which is not helped by it being served wrapped up McDonalds style) and also very difficult to eat - too many ingredients crammed into a relatively small bun.

The staff are very friendly but also super efficient - your burger is made worryingly quickly and then cleared away with military efficiency as soon as your meal is finished. This is clearly not a place to linger!

For me, there are better options available. However, it is still probably coming here at least once, just to check out the crazy decor.

I loved MEATmarket.. It was a little hard to find but SO worth it! Staff were super friendly and answered questions from all and sundry whilst we were there with humour and a friendly attitide. The dead hippie sauce is outstanding and does some seriously good work on the burger, which is now my number 1 burger ever...
We also had fried pickles and honestly - sod the fries. Fried pickles are the only way forward! My friend got a hard shake with jaeger and well, meh. Medicinal milk not so much fun it turns out.. but the Lagerita (me)? Up there with the pickles my friend. Only issue was that our fries did not arrive at all, but with the onion rings and pickles we were fine. Probably should've got the cashola back but the food coma had kicked in by that point..

After a completely depressing 4th of July "celebration" in the UK, I decided that I needed to ease my depression by gorging myself on the most American-esque food possible. Ummm, hello MEATmarket!

My friend and I both got chili dogs and split an order of chili fries. Oink oink, yet no shame...these dogs were good...real good. Battling the crowds at Covent Garden is always painful, but I'll happily do it again for a taste of the MEATMarket!
