Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating
Modern steakhouse with tender cuts, popular ribs and burgers, lively vibe, and occasional service delays; prices are on the high side but many feel quality justifies it.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
MEAT30 delivers strong food quality with tender steaks and generous portions that justify its premium positioning, but inconsistent execution on doneness and pacing prevents a higher grade. Friendly, attentive service shines on quieter nights, though significant waits during peak hours and recent service delays suggest operational strain. A solid neighborhood steakhouse for meat lovers willing to navigate timing challenges.
Restaurant Summary
On a handsome Schaerbeek boulevard, MEAT30 draws carnivores with tender steaks and generous plates. Servers are often warm and proactive, though on peak nights pacing can slip. One diner summed it up: "Great meat, friendly team," while another noted long waits on busy evenings. The room feels modern and cozy, and special-occasion energy runs high. The cooking leans classic steakhouse with solid technique over show: Black Angus cuts, beef ribs, and burgers, with playful detours like marrow bones and a speculoos San Sebastian cheesecake. Expect premium pricing that many find fair for quality, though extras and drinks can make the bill climb. Families do fine here thanks to a real kids menu (burger or chicken tenders with fries) and plenty of simple sides. Portions are hearty, flavors are familiar, and the vibe is lively; just avoid peak times if little ones struggle with noise or waiting.
