J ai et manger au restaurant et j ai vraiment aimer donc nous avons decider de les engager pour notre mariage a domicile( 125 personnes ) mais j ai été extremement decu quand je les ai engagé pour mon mariage , premièrement l organisation a été extrêmement difficile… les ajouts fréquents d oublie sur la facturation a la dernière minute, et lors du souper au mariage … un vrai desastre ! Flop total ! Apres plusieurs confirmation pour le service du mac and cheese avez cheetos meme la veille du mariage ! Lors du service je n avais pas ce que j ai demander … le burger etais desastreux … je ne recommande pas cette entreprise pour des gros evenements important… j ai ete vraiment decu .. durent le service il m ont dit qu il etait pour me dédommager pour le manque … lorsqu il est venu le temps de regler l offre a ete royalement ridicule j ai decider de juste tourner la page et de laisser ca derrière moi … mais je donne seulement mon avis sur mon expérience… qui n a pas ete digne de leur réputation..

My guests raved about the food at our recent gathering. Especially the brisket and beans. Our order was delivered promptly, arrived hot and all of it was delicious.

We ordered a full thanksgiving dinner from Meatings and they blew us all away!! It was honestly the best thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever had. The turkey was UNREAL, the stuffing was amazing, and the veggies fantastic. Such an easy process from the minute we ordered, to delivery, to eating!! I would recommend everyone place an order for their next holiday meal. If you want to have a stress free experience and amazing food, this is the place to order! 10/10.

Meatings really came through for our wedding day with incredible food and such attentive service. The servers made sure to come to us first with the passed appetizers and saved us a few when we were busy talking. Everyone raved about how good the food was, and we were nice and full and ready to drink and party after dinner! Mat also went above and beyond and helped us cut and serve our cake which was so nice. Really appreciate everything!! Highly recommend. Also the tasting was so fun before the wedding.

Avoid Meatings if you’re looking for a wedding caterer for a smaller event! I had a bad experience in communications with Meatings to book them for my cocktail-style wedding (100 people) in 2023. They were very slow to respond to questions, and communication was very poor (required prompting multiple times, poor grammar, difficult to understand emails). I was very understanding, as wedding season is a busy one, but when they out of the blue cancelled our late night snack two months out from our wedding date, it was extremely stressful. I was sent into a scramble trying to find someone else at the last minute to fill in. I’d just like to warn future couples looking for a wedding caterer that Meatings was very unreliable and difficult to communicate with. I wonder if my event had been bigger (more money for them), that I might have been treated differently. I ended up booking another very reliable catering service and dropped Meatings altogether, because I had no idea if they would come through or not in the end.Edit: in their response, Meatings says they will call me that day to “rectify” the situation. They have not called or reached out in any way, and it’s been over a week since their response was published.

Unfortunately, Meatings is no longer open at their Canotek location. Staff at Broadhead Brewing have told me that Meatings now only has a small outlet in Richcraft Sensplex with a very limited menu, and Broadhead itself has a limited menu which does not include brisket, pulled pork or ribs. They do have some good food offerings at Broadhead, for sure, but it's not the Meatings menu that we love!Hopefully, at some point, we'll be able to get the great smoked brisket and pulled pork from Meatings again! It's the best in Ottawa. (The 4 Stars is only because we can't get their brisket and pulled pork. The food and service itself has always been 5 stars!)

Best BBQ spot in the city. Anything on the menu will explode your taste buds. If you get the chance to try this food you won't be disappointed. BEST FOOD IN THE CITY!!!
John Purchase
Delicious smoked and grilled meat, sandwiches and wicked fries!!!
Cory Contini
Amazing bbq and wine!Edit: This place keeps getting better and better! The catering is just as good as the restaurant which is hard to accomplish. The team is so dedicated and it shows, thanks again!
Our group of friends wanted to hire the team at Meatings to create the highest end, high-quality meats experience they could imagine. We gave them carte-Blanche over the menu and they did not disappoint. What they delivered will have all 20 of us telling the tales for years. It cannot be understated how phenomenal this meal was. Mat and Nick not only delivered the most incredible meal, their service and friendliness was off the charts. We’re already positive we want to do this with them annually, it was worth every single penny, AND more. “Quick” run down of the meal below:1) They sourced A5 Japanese Kobe Wine Beef. This beef is at the top of the pyramid, only 18 cattle a month are distributed for the entire globe. The cows only eat the Lees from a Kobe Winery. Only 1 butchery in Canada held these and meatings was on top of it. Part of the pieces were used to create the most incredible tartare ive ever tasted (by far), the other half were cooked over food fire to perfection and were a true melt-in-your-mouth experience2) Duck Confit egg rolls - need I say more? WoW3) 12-hour wood-smoked A5 Wagyu Brisket - there are truly no words to describe how incredible this brisket was. The flavor was heavenly. The home made Chimichurri On top was absolutely phenomenal. These came with fries which were a nice touch4) Smoked & Braised Organic Beef CheekTacos - hands down the best tacos I’ve ever had, the meat was mind numbingly tender and juicy and flavorful5) Ibérico Pork - they call this the “Wagyu of Pork”. It’s tender and juiciness was unparalleled. Combined With whatever they marinated it in was incredible, it made it hard to compare it to any other pork EVER lol6) 6-cheese, smoked rib tip Mac and cheese - with 6 incredible cheeses, Asparagus, chorizo and a bit of mushrooms this was undoubtedly the most insane Mac and cheese ever7) Grand marnier dipped fruits and donuts with home made cream - uhhhh WOWThank you again to the team at Meatings, you folks are honestly incredible on and off the grill!!! See you again soon

First time trying Meatings and thought the food was fantastic. Nicely tender smoked meats. Pulled pork was juicy still and the brisket was nicely seasoned and mid fatty without being salty. Nice deck out front to sit and eat. Went on a weeknight and it wasn't busy so plenty of space to relax. Good canned beer selection as well!

Amazing food & superb service as always.The only two knocks for me were the beer tap availability and the lack of indoor seating. They say they have beers on tap but they only had 1 “tap” (more of a redneck tap - cooler with hose and pour spout) and that tap wasn’t working.Won’t stop me from going back though as the food is by far the main attraction!! :)

Food prices are awesome and the food was so full of flavor ? ? can't wait to go again the Ribs are my favorite?

I can’t say enough great things about this spot. I’m a big buffalo wing fan and they’ve got the best of the best! If you’re a southern BBQ fan, this is the place to visit - their brisket is absolute perfection. Best BBQ in the city!
