"The Brooklyn outpost of the Meatball Shop has closed after more than a decade on Bedford Avenue. Owners Michael Chernow and Daniel Holzman opened this offshoot of their meatball-themed restaurant in 2011, a year after their first location took off on the Lower East Side, Greenpointers reports. Google now lists the restaurant as permanently closed and a “for rent” sign hangs in its window. At peak, there were eight Meatball Shops around the city, along with accompanying cocktail bar with the tone-deaf name, Sidepiece." - Luke Fortney

This place has been on my bucket list for a very long time. And I have to say that the food did not disappoint. These are the greatest meatballs I’ve ever had! The pasta was also very delicious and flavorful. I love that there are so many variations of meatballs, from the type of meat to the level of spiciness. The only thing was that the service was on the slower side. But the waitress was very kind and apologetic for the slow service.

The legendary Williamsburg Meatball Shop! Food definitely lived up to the hype. The meatballs were outrageously delicious. Pasta was on point. The staff was definitely hustling to serve those of us in the restaurant, while knocking out delivery orders. Gotta respect their efforts. Best place for meatballs and pasta around, hands down. Enjoy

Place was amazing! I am not a fan of meatballs but everything from the beginning and until the end of this meal was delicious! I personally didn’t expect to be surprised by the sides, you would think that in a meatball shop they don’t came much about the sides but these were too of high quality and delicious tastes! A bit expensive but the place is nice and all the dishes were amazing! Highly recommended!!

A lovely lunch spot! Very interesting concept as the spot is fully dedicated to meatballs - 1) you select a type of meatball you’d like (classical (beef and pork), chicken, Turkey, veggie, etc), 2) sauce (tomato, spicy meat ball, pesto, cheese, etc) and 3) side dish (spaghetti, mashed potato, etc) We tried classical meatballs with veggie ragú sauce and chicken meatballs with spicy meat sauce. Both were sooo delicious. Service was also fantastic! One thing - they could definitely improve bathrooms (particularly smell)

I have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now. For an app we had the mini buffalo chicken meatballs. Tonight I had the classic meatball on rigatoni with Parmesan cream. My friend had spicy pork with an egg on a brioche and mesclun salad. I can say I thought my meal was delicious and filling. Service was okay, but I like the overall feel of the restaurant itself.

This little bar is a hidden gem in Brooklyn. Amazing service and great food. We took meatballs of course, which were truly sensational. If you have room for dessert please try the cookie..it's delicious!!

Love this place. Been going for years. The menu has changed for sure. They added so many different choices of food and beverages. I had a moscow mule and the classic meatballs with rigatoni and their delicious mash potatoes. This location never disappoints. They also have in door and out door seating - whichever you prefer. Friendly staff and delicious food in green point

This is one interesting restaurant, the interior design will take you back in time. I found the ambience to be quite relaxing and others conversations did not seem to carry over. The purpose of coming here is obviously to have meatballs, the question you have to ask is how would you like to have them? There are many different options, we chose to have them in a bowl with one side. You choose the type of meatball, the sauce you would like with them and what you would like to eat them with. They do have vegetarian options here as well. I ordered the classic meatballs in a bowl with mashed potatoes and a white sauce. The mashed potatoes were phenomenal, definitely homemade and paired perfectly with the white sauce and meatballs. I found this to be a perfect lunch, not overwhelming on the stomach at all. Again the price point for this restaurant is just what I would expect and well worth it for what you get in return. Cheers!!
