| - I love what they did with the space! Definitely an upgrade from how it used to look like. The windows, bright lights, and open space offers a very inviting atmosphere. Really modern feel to it, with really cute furniture throughout. I like the gelato/dessert area. It had a little open window from the outside where it looks like you can order, kind of like serendipity. Not sure if its just there for show, but I like the idea.
I'm giving this place a three mainly for the decor/atmosphere, but the food is nothing really to write home about. I read every single review written for meatball spot prior to me coming in. Even with all the negative reviews, I still came in with an open mind and was actually excited to check it out!
First off, I think the hostesses all looked really nice dressed in black! When I got inside the blue jeans and meatball spot t-shirt I was greeted with was less than appealing. I felt like it didn't go with the restaurant at all. Being greeted with such fashionable looking hostesses, then a waitress in jeans and a t-shirt was kind of off putting.
Anyway, our server, Bunny, was delightful. I'm happy that I didn't experience the horrible service everyone else yelped about. She was prompt, not rude, and made nice conversation.
Onto the food. I ordered their three meatballs (I guess they finally invested in new menus). Got them in classic with the pesto sauce. I also ordered a chicken meatball brioche with a special jalapeño sauce they were featuring. I tried the apple salad, mac n cheese and a cookie milkshake for dessert.
The meatballs were extremely salty!!! It didn't help that it was served with the pesto sauce, which didn't taste like pesto, and was also salty. It took us a long time to eat the three meatballs. The piece of bread it was served with was cold, soggy, and hard all at the same time. I almost chipped a tooth biting into it. Forreal! My chicken meatball brioche was ok. It wasn't as salty, but I think it's cause it was served in between bread. The jalapeño sauce was ok, it had a little kick to it.
The salad was really boring and had very little topping. It was mainly sauce and spinach. I think they should add more cheese, apples, and pecans. The Mac n cheese was not very good. I think they need to change the cheese they are using. Seriously reminded me of Kraft Mac n cheese in the box. Apparently this dish is homemade, I think they need to redo the recipe. Lastly, the cookie milkshake!!! They put too much Hershey's syrup, but it was ok. I prefer thick milkshakes, like the ones they have at steak and shake, or burger bar. This one was really airy and frothy. I didn't finish it.
On the menu it said they offered pizza by the slice at the counter. I wanted to order one just to try, but they weren't serving any. Overall, I think this place is seriously over priced for what they are serving. $8 for the meat ball trio, $4 for the meatball brioche, $7 for 1/2 a salad, $6 for Mac n cheese, and $6 for the shake.
This place is very family oriented and I think it will be their saving grace. It got pretty busy with families and their kids around dinner time.
Anyway...
-I like the decor.
-I like that I have a new option for food in Town Square.
But...
-Their menu is super limited.
-Their meatballs are too salty (chicken and classic at least).
-And I just think its too expensive.
-I'll come back to try the pizzas, cause it did look good, but I'm not in a hurry to do so.
-Maybe if they do some type of happy hour menu... Then I'll come back sooner!
*I just noticed that some people added cheese, eggs, or whatever on their meatballs. I didn't know this was an option! I didn't see any "additional toppings" on the menu, and my server failed to give me the heads up. So, there ya go! I would've loved to add cheese on my balls lol.
