My Sisters and my Daughter and I were a table of 4 - the appetizers that we ordered were good - the entrees were not !!!!! I ordered grilled cheese and tomato soup but it was inedible - the bread was soaked in butter and there was too much cheese to enjoy the sandwich. The tomato soup was cold and it was very disappointing. I sent my dinner back and ordered the Mac and cheese - nothing spectacular at all!!! My daughter ordered the lobster balls and they were very fishy - she did not finish her meal. My sisters ordered salads and they were happy with their choices - All in all very average food - very expensive visit for food that was mediocre- I will not be returning as there are too many places to choose from that have better quality food and ambiance that will allow you to hear yourselves talk. Step up your game Meetball Place!!!!!!!!

I used to love this place and go quite often but it changed and not for the better. That Meetball Place used to have a menu with mostly meatballs. Get it? That’s the whole pun and point of the name. Now the menu has changed and meatballs are barely an offering anymore. The food is just ok with everything being served very sloppy like it’s just thrown on the plate. No pride in their food. We went for Bingo night. The host couldn’t have been less entertaining or enthusiastic if he tried. It wasn’t fun and we tuned him out after a while and gave up even playing. After Bingo the music they played was so loud like a club we couldn’t even hear each other talking. Couldn’t wait to get out of there and we won’t be back again. Too bad because I was interested in hosting a party there but no way.
