"That's a spicy meat-a-ball!" No kidding. I had six of these, so yes, bring on the Alka-Seltzer. Seriously, I liked these spicy golf balls so much that if it were not for gastric restrictions and unelastable waistlines, in addition to hefty New York price tags, I would still be eating these right now. When I lived in New Jersey, there was a restaurant to this that was similar to this concept called Lotsa Balls. They specialized in specialty meatballs and along with some great pasta, they had something special, except I only learned they recently closed. Would there be a restaurant to pick up the torch that Lotsa Balls once held so highly? The short answer? Yes! This restaurant in Williamsburg. The meatballs are flavorful, have an amazing kick and punch (not too overwhelming but enough to knock your tastebuds back a few notches). However, I really wanted to try them all. They are cooked beautifully, plated nicely, and served by Williamsburg's finest residents that only a Williamsburg resident can drum up. That is okay with me. Want a little extra? Go for it. Want some pasta? Do it. Want dessert afterwards? Who is stopping you? Yep, you saw the last part right, dessert. I had to do it, and I do not regret it. It is an ice cream sandwich created how you want it. The ice cream is delicious, and it will quell the rebellion in your small intestine, like a George Washington to a Daniel Shays. It will do you better than any beer might, which might not be saying much. Pretty please. Get the beer. Then pay your bill and start dreaming up what meatballs you plan to get for your next visit. I know I am.

Best meatball in town they hay a lot or variety, from traditional meatballs to chicken and even vegan ones, the menu changes regularly, their parmesan cheese is the best one! Make sure to order the special cookies with ice cream (to die for) the service was great, the place is small and gets busy fast!

Came here during Restaurant Week for lunch. They had a special restaurant week menu but we decided to order from the happy hour menu. They have a lot of food options on the happy hour menu all for $8. My girls and I decided to do it family style and ordered a couple of different things. Calamari was good, fresh with the right around of crisp. Garlic bread was amazing- I was tempted to order a second serving. Lasagna is my favorite food and they did not not disappoint. It was so good and flavorful. OG NYC Hero was superb that we ordered a second one. Meatballs excellent The ice cream sandwich was on point. We left there stuffed and it was worth every calorie. The reason why I didn't give the full five Stars because there cocktails were failing. We tried the rose sangria which tasted like water. Also had the fool aid which Was very disappointing. Overall, great experience! Amazing food. I will definitely come back and just order different house cocktails.

I've loved The Meatball Shop for as long as I can remember. But this is my first time at the Williamsburg location and I think I prefer it to their Manhattan locations. I ordered the B'all Trio Sampler (classic meatball w tomato sauce, chicken meatball w parmesan sauce, spicy pork w spicy meat sauce) as my main even though it's technically an appetizer because I wanted to try all 3 types of meatballs along with 3 types of sauces. I also got a side of cavatappi with pesto sauce. The meatballs and sauce were all amazing, my favorite was the spicy pork, but you can't go wrong with any of them. The pasta was also great, the pesto sauce tasted very fresh. Overall, a delicious and affordable meal. Will definitely be back!

Popped in here on a Saturday afternoon - it wasn't super busy. Was excited to try this place as it had many reviews, and it's unique - meatballs! Food was tasty, but I probably wouldn't return. If I could give it 3.5 stars, that'd be my rating. Service was also a little slow, unfortunately.

Walking around Williamsburg on a Sunday afternoon trying to find brunch with no reservations is no east task. After getting rejected from a few places (30+ min wait times) we walked into The Meatball Shop. To our surprise, "Yea we can seat 5 people" response came as quickly as we asked the question to sit 5 people. Hallelujah!! Some of us ordered spaghetti, some ordered sandwiches, and others brunch menu item- biscuit and mushroom gravy with meatballs. Every single item was delicious!! We sat, ate, chatted, and simply had a wonderful relaxed afternoon with amazing server helping us with our requests for food, drinks, and space for conversations. Highly recommend this spot if you want to see what Williamsburg's hospitality is all about.

After a long day of adventuring in the city we were wandering back to our hotel and passed by this place. He stopped to drool over the menu and I sarcastically joked that I was sure they had a vegan option for me... and was floored to see that they truly did (and that it was actually housemade and not just reheated Beyond meat). They were close to closing (it was approaching midnight) but the friendly manager didn't have a problem with our to-go order and was kind enough to let us enjoy them at one of the outside tables while they closed up. I went with the housemade "Perfect" meatballs in the veggie ragu sauce and was really satisfied. The plantbased meatballs were sizeable, flavored and cooked well, and the ragu was tasty. Definitely glad we stopped in.
