My friend and I were visiting NYC last week and needed a place for a quick bite to eat before going out to some bars. The Meatball Shop was exactly what we needed. The food was good for the money. The server was quite spacey though to the point we had to keep reminding him of things we ordered and he didn't seem to understand how to work the register at the end. If they can retrain the server, it will be a much better experience.

Did awesome with our group of 11. Fast service. Kids meals were on point! $13 and tons of food. Server was so helpful and kind.

The place is nicely decorated. The staff was super helpful with our big party. The food is just okay, nothing special.

I've eaten here a few times. First, the staff is always rad. Super nice, accommodating. Immaculate vibes and I've never had a wait despite great service and food. This time I ordered one of their signature dishes, the rigatoni spicy pork. Which was great, don't get me wrong, but I have no idea what I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't as expected. It's made with spicy pork balls, broccoli parm cream, and their swift kick sauce. I'm a red sauce girl, but I don't regret trying this at all. It was super pleasantly spicy. I did enjoy the flavors. I'm just a red sauce girl. But if you're a white sauce person, go for it, it's great. I've said this before, but you can make your own bowls (choose meat/veggie, sauce, pasta). I almost can't pass up rigatoni with spicy meat sauce or rigatoni, spicy pork meatballs, and spicy-ish arrabbiata sauce. Would love the veggie ragu too. I had the bruschetta as an appetizer, which isn't your typical--made with seasoned ricotta and marinated tomatoes. Creamy ricotta, juicy tomatoes. Wish it had a little more bite and the bread was a little toastier, but it's very good just the same. They have a ton of veggie side possibilities--I had the mushrooms and they were a little salty. They have kale, cauliflower (roasted, fried, then caesar-seasoned, so maybe I should have gone with that). Potato salad, mashed potatoes, carrots. They have heroes and a few other entrees. My favorite cocktails are the Mr. Tangerine man (gin tangerine puree, arugula, simple syrup, club soda), pining for you (milagro silver, pineapple, agave, tajin), and the strawberry margarita (milagro silver, strawberries, triple sec, agave). All refreshing, light, delicious, not too sweet or heavy. They have several other cocktails, wines, beers, and classics. I'll keep coming back here any time I have to schlep up to midtown for a Broadway play or some other reason.

1000% on my list of favorite restaurants. I've been here on two occasions now for a nice lunch and have had great experiences. The service is amazing and everyone is so nice and friendly. Food comes out quick. It has a casual but nice atmosphere so it's great for a casual lunch/dinner or a date night. The food is great! First time I tried the chicken parm sandwich and it was delicious and filling. Second time I had the spicy pork rigatoni and it was soooo yummy and spicy. The portion sizes are perfect and filling and you might even have leftovers to take home. They have a great drink selection too!

Excellent service, chill background music, relaxed vibe, and very good comfort food at reasonable prices. Definitely good for date night in Hell's Kitchen. We all enjoyed our selections -- chicken meatballs, classic beef/pork meatballs, spicy heritage pork meatballs, and special pizza meatballs filled with pepperoni and cheese. Ice cream sandwich was good. Half baked ice cream is vanilla and chocolate with brownie chunks. Note: no decaf coffee, but decaf herb tea is available. Definitely would return when seeing a show

I will start off by saying that if you're in the Hell's Kitchen area - this place is epic! I ordered the pepperoni stuffed meatballs and they were a 10/10. My partner ordered the regular meatballs with the alfredo sauce and it was equally as good. It's a quaint place with some cool decor. Our server was also very nice and attentive to make sure our drinks were flowing and everything was satisfactory. She recommended the cauliflower and I was STUNNED at how good it was!

Easily the best bruschetta I've ever had! Wish I could just eat piles and piles of it honestly. Service was very nice and lively. Small place with limited seating-- we were there at 3 PM so it wasn't crowded. Meatballs were delicious but honestly I can't say enough about this bruschetta. A must have!!! Thanksgiving meatball platter was unique (Mac & cheese ball!). Brussel sprouts were also quite yummy. Definitely would go here again.

High expected value for when you feel like meatballs, obv lots of competition for great food in the area but this place is good enough to be on our hit parade. Happy hour menu is awesome (though they conveniently forgot to give 'em to my wife and I maybe because we looked like tourists with luggage in tow (we are; we used to be locals though). Kitchen Sink is great if you want veggies, and the meatballs and pasta is pure comfort food. Good, chill local spot with efficient service - wish we had something like this on the West Coast! ;)
