"Think of Meet The Meat as a budget Peter Luger, with a few twists on the menu. The main attraction is a quality porterhouse for under $100, but you can also get a side of mac with mushrooms in it and a slab of Canadian bacon that’s more like a pork chop. You’ll find some misses, but there are more than enough hits for you to leave satisfied. Especially if you live in Astoria, that porterhouse is a nice convenient option. The white-tablecloth dining room feels kind of dated, and a TV at the bar makes the space a bit less formal, but this is still a warm, inviting spot, perfect for a graduation or birthday dinner." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, willa moore
