A Chronicle Of Gastronomy

Meatmother has been Richmond’s home of American-style BBQ, bringing smoked meats, buns, sides and cocktails to Swan Street. Burnt Ends are great as a starter, or something to sure.
Really delicious feed! We ordered the chicken bun, the pulled pork bun plus the mac n cheese croquettes and the burnt ends as starters. The burnt ends were a massive surprise, they had an amazing flavour and texture and defs worth an order. I also really enjoyed the pulled pork burger, the flavour combinations of everything in there just worked so well! I wasn't a massive fan of the chicken burger but that's purely personal preference, it was just a bit tangy for me...probably from the hot sauce and the spiced watermelon. Service was very friendly and relatively attentive.
Yum yum yum yum yum yum. Enough said. I've ordered this place oodles of times and even just then tonight and I'm writing this while I wait.
The burned ends are delicious. Meat that melts in your mouth. Great sauce.
The fried chicken bun is so fresh and tasty. Fire corn really hot and spicy.
Jalapeño popcorn is ridiculously good as are the chips.
Only thing that was weird was the pickled watermelon. I love it on its own not with the sour cream so each to their own.
Delivered hot and fresh every time.
The wings were yummy, as was the pulled pork burger. It was empty but that was fine with me as I had three little ones in tow. The ribs were more fat than meat which was really the only let down. The staff were really accommodating. The list of sours made my mouth water.. amazing selection!
Perfect place for a more casual, but sit down meal that still has some ambience and a nice feel about. The service was great throughout, and we were very happy with our food choices. The hot wings stood out, they were absolutely delicious. The lamb shoulder was beautifully cooked and falling apart. Perhaps my only gripe would be that there could be a few more wine options, and the wine price by the glass seemed rather expensive when considered in relation to their great value menu. I would have expected at least one wine option in each category to be under $10. Small gripe though, I'd be back for the food in a heartbeat.
Dined here last night as a group of 4. We shared the truffle mac croquettes, burnt ends, stubby onion rings, 12 hour smoked brisket, pulled pork with pineapple salsa and sticky pork ribs. The food was all delicious. All the meats were well cooked and melted in your mouth. Service was prompt and friendly also. I had the rum sour drink which was nice also. Overall was a good dinner but an expensive outing.
Amazing BBQ food. Recommend Croquettes, Burnt ends, pulled pork and slow cooked beef brisket. Have a good collection of beers as well t go with all the food
Meatmother recently got a renovation and a menu overhaul. They have a great lunch special with choice of meat side and drink for $15. Ambience good. Food fairly good. Value good as well.
The $45 dollar meal is a little bit more than I usually spend on eats but I thought I would give it a try with some friends. It was amazing, lots of variety and the meat was all quality.
Be prepared for a feast if ur ordering the $45 platter. The coleslaw and pulled pork are of worthy note but should not occupy too much space in your stomach. Save space for the beef brisket!! It's unbelievably fantastic!
This place carries it's name so well. My husband and I got The Mother Load to share and we were so loaded. Nothing we ordered was bad! Definitely worth getting the mother load if you're not sure what to get, cause you get lots of everything from the menu!
Loved the experience and sensations I got from the Watermelon, I want more. And I wished I could buy bags of the jalapeño popcorn for movies! Truffle mac croquettes were like cuddles from the inside. Fire corn is extra amazing because I love corn anyway. Pineapple salsa, to heaven and back with pulled pork!! Brisket, well there's no real need for a knife over this meal. Fried chicken, not one bit dry.
If you haven't been here and are still reading reviews you're wasting your time, just go there now!!

Delicious meats! Definitely recommend, brisket was good, the chicken is amazing and delicious! Friendly service
Amazing brisket, fried chicken and pulled pork. They also do really good truffle mac & cheese croquettes and jalapeno pop corn. Would recommend doing the 'Mother Load' if you're there with a group. I visited here with a group of 4. Would recommend booking if planning to eat before 8pm, as tables fill up fast. After 8pm, it gets quiet, so you can stay longer. Service was great, staff were always checking on the table, but not too often to interrupt everyone. Would definitely come again.
