Review Meat District Co. - Sydney

What an amazing place to come to for dinner, so glad I managed to eat here before flying out of Sydney. Had the kangaroo that did not disappoint. First time having kangaroo and I loved every bite of it. Seasoned and grilled to perfection. Went against the waitresses' recommendation of rare for medium. Did not regret. Had a nice 'beefy' taste and flavor to it. The truffle mash side was silky smooth. Also shared the pork ribs with some company and it was really fall off the bone tender and juicy. No qualms about returning or recommending this place to anyone.

We ordered the Sirloin and Pork Ribs combo. The sirloin was very tender. Cooked to perfection. The ribs were not too sweet and just melted off the bone. I also recommend the truffle fries. The chicken wings were also not too sweet. The glaze had the right amount of taste. Delicious and very tasty. Highly recommended!! The service was fast and efficient and more importantly, very friendly!

Delicious Surf & Turf burger, don't miss their gravy that come with steak. It's genuinely addictive. However Thier crumb chicken burger is a little bit dry and bland. Overall experience I'm still impressed. The staff is professional & polite.

Great place to have drinks before dinner. HAPPY HOUR is awesome as the menu reflects and they DO NOT water down your drinks. Friendly staff who always make you feel welcome even when they’re super busy!

Dine here after taking the ferry ride from Parramatta. The restaurant location is awesome and we got to sit outdoor where we can enjoy the video of the jetty. We ordered: "Onion Rings" which was juicy and crispy and the mayo sauce was yum. "Sweet potato fries" was not too bad but was a little over fried so there was a slight bitterness to it. "Grilled Barramundi" was decent but a little dry, it's a meat district after all 😆 "Full Rack Pork Ribs" was juicy and tender but we would be happier if it come with a little more sauce. "Ribeye on the bone and Bone Marrow" this was yummy. We got the ribeye on medium and it was spot on. The meat was juicy and flavourful. The bone marrow was amazing 👍 Overall experience was good.

Honestly could not fault this place. The customer service was welcoming. The ambience was wonderful, near the wharf. Not to mention, the food! Oh how the food was just so tasty! Onion rings were spot on in crispiness and flavor and the highlight the peri peri chicken burger. I absolutely LOVED that chicken burger and will be back to have it again real soon! Because I simply cannot get that wonderful flavor out of my mind, it tingled all of my tastebuds. My husband got the beef burger, it was okay, nothing to rave about. But definitely try the peri peri chicken burger!

Family feast at Meat District Co Barangaroo. A great place to spend a lazy afternoon lunch. The slow cooked beef was sensational. Thanks for the good service.

If you looking a steak night, consider the Meat District in the heart of Barangaroo. The steak was so delicious. I had the medium-rare sirloin steak. Gosh! This is one of the best steak that I had in Sydney. The mushroom sauce was so delicious as well! A must try in Sydney!

Went here on a saturday around 3pm, 2 adults, two kids. Happy hour drinks were well priced Service wasnt great, feels like 'throw a bunch of people on working holidays at it without training' Food felt a bit 'penny pinching', ordered a burger for my 9 year old son from the kids menu and it was a bare bones slider. I get a slider is a burger, just a tiny one (so be honest and call it out) but anywhere else a kids burger us a bare bones burger, simple and to thd point, not something eaten in one bite. I had ribs, not the nicest, not very tender Combo deals are normally 'bundle for value' in this case you are better off ordering dishes sepetatrly, you will both get more and its cheaper . All in all feels a bit like a tourist trap, for something pitched as a 'meat' venue, i wouldnt reccomemd the food

The medallion steak for lunch special was to die for, great flavour and so tender it just falls apart in your mouth. Would recommend to add red wine jus to the sauce selection as I didn't see it on the menu and wasn't offered to me.

Omg amazing!!!!!! This place is now my fave place in Sydney. I went to quite a few high end restaurants while visiting Sydney and this is my favourite place!!!! I’m going to miss these burgers when I’m back home. Will deff be back!!

We went April 9th group of 3 adults 2 kids steak was amazing best we’ve eaten 2 kids meals brill service was good young girl was fab at her job. We’re on hols from England but if we visit again this would be our first place to eat well done xx😀🍴☕️👏

Booked to dine in for our wedding anniversary, even called to confirm booking making sure it went through knowing restaurants can only have 10 people at a time - and yes was told it was all confirmed, drove all the way to the city and was even willing to pay $69 for parking just to celebrate here, walked in the rain with our toddler only to get a phonecall 1 min before our booking time which we were literally outside to say they cannot accomodate us. Their excuse "the booking slipped through" ohhh and we just got an email to say "thanks for dining with us"<br/><br/>They said they can only accomodate us at their sister restaurant "a few doors down" were Natalie's exact words. Hungry, tired, drenched from the rain with a toddler in tow, we had to no choice to accept as all other places appeared to be closed.<br/>I wouldn't say it was a few doors down as she described it and it definitely was not the way we wanted to celebrate our anniversary!

There is a upstairs area which I didn’t know about. Staff are friendly and observant but the food took a while to come out. Food wise it’s just ok apart from the truffle chips which was yum. Despite my burger looking small it was filling. Overall not bad

The sirloin steak that I had was nicely cooked, medium rare, tender and juicy

As the King St Wharf/Barangaroo precinct becomes saturated with dining options it can be hard to figure out what’s worth your while, $ and stomach space.. but happy to report Meat District Co makes the cut.. cut get it, steak, hehe ok I’ll stop. <br/>This meat emporium is almost a 2in1 that you can enjoy outdoor alfresco dining, or a more intimate inside restaurant experience all with beautiful views over Darling Harbour. <br/>The staff are great and super attentive, the value for money is on point and the menu caters to every corner of the world in the meat market. You’ve got your usuals steak, ribs, lamb.. but then you can up the game with kangaroo, or even a crocodile burger. <br/>The food:<br/>Rib eye bone in steak: honestly one of the best I’ve had this year and reasonably priced! Served with fries and mushroom sauce, it’s no fuss but it’s done bloody well (actually medium cooked but you get what I mean!)<br/>Brie burger: how to make a burger better.. add Brie obv. A nice little festive burg topped with lashings of Brie and cranberry sauce for a nice hit!<br/>Truffle mash: omg yes. Silky smooth, buttery, truffley, melt in your mouth. <br/>Truffle fries: truffle trifecta on this one with truffle salt oil and aioli! Delish but if you can only pick one side honestly the mash is a game changer. <br/>Corn: with truffle Parmesan, lime and chili. A nice flavor hit and you know, gotta add a few veggies in there. <br/>Overall a great night out, and one to add to the faves list for waterfront dining!

The steak at Meat District Co. completely stole the show! So tender and juicy! Pork ribs and wings were very tasty as well. Such a satisfying meal, I’m already planning my next visit! 😋

It's warmer weather which is perfect for drinking cocktails by King St Wharf. Did you know Meat and District co have cocktail making classes? I pick up my gal friend and we join a cocktail making class with gorgeous views. If you're not interested in making cocktails, Meat District and Co also have a nice happy hour from 3pm to 7pm.

For great food and service and Location Location Location - you will find all this and more at Meat District Co. There is so much to choose from that you will be spoiled for choice. But when you do decide, sit back, enjoy and watch the world go by - by the waterside. It’s such an idyllic place to chill and of course eat and drink very well.

Usually I’m not really good with eating meat! I find it hard to swallow but when I tried the meat here! It was absolutely delicious!!! The meat was nice and tender!! One down side is that each dish may be a little expensive! But anything else, great service!!!🙂

Aptly named Meat District! The meat dishes are of course the star but surprisingly good is their onion rings! Felt underwhelmed with the watermelon salad but the rest were good!

Went here a couple of months ago. We liked the relaxed atmosphere, and the service was pretty good. Ordered the beef ribs and burger combo and this came out bigger than we expected...very good value. The burger and fries were amazing but the ribs weren't very tender. The biggest disappointment was the mushroom sauce...it was bland and the worst we've ever had.<br/>I'll probably go back for the atmosphere and the burgers.

Food with a view? What more could you want! Great dining experience along Darling Harbour with lots of outdoor seating so you can soak up the sun whilst feasting on a wide selection of dishes at Meat District Co.<br/><br/>If you’re game enough to try the bone marrow, I’d highly recommend it. I’d never tried it before but so glad that my first time was here. Simple presentation with an emphasise on the flavour of the marrow and the unique textural experience. The marrow is a jelly-like and dissolves on the tongue immediately.<br/><br/>The Burger & Rib Combo was a good mixed platter and really easy to share with company. Ribs were smothered in a yummy sticky glaze though were a tad on the dry side for me. The Grilled Chicken Burger was again really simple but was undeniably delicious with a classic combination of lettuce, tomato and cheese. Loved the grill marks on the watermelon. Couldn’t really taste the sumac though and really wished there was a bit more sweetness in the watermelon. Sweet potato fries were bomb.<br/><br/>Lastly, the Paddle Pop Mocktail was super cute and looked very generous in a tall glass. Was expecting to see strawberries in the drink but was served a cherry instead. Despite this, I actually really liked the fairy floss flavour of the drink and would order it again.<br/><br/>If you’d like to read more of my reviews, please check out my Zomato page and visit @cynthiaeats_ on Instagram for more photos!<br/><br/>My thanks to Meat District Co and Social Mad Men for the invite.

It is good - obviously the steaks and the ribs are sensational. It can get a bit expensive, so get budget options or special deals where you can.

I visited this restaurant during my trip to sydney, end december i guess, the 30th i guess.<br/>It’s well located right on the darling harbour.<br/><br/>The restaurant is really clean and well located.<br/><br/>It is very cosy, waiters and waitresses were very chill happy and smiley.<br/><br/>I came in with my friend, and we ordered the crocodile burger.<br/><br/>It was my first time having crocodile, so i didn’t know what to expect.<br/><br/>It was okay to be honest, it smells like fish but taste like chicken.<br/><br/>The fries were good (parmesan fries).<br/><br/>Well compared to the location and what they offer i think the prices are fair.

Terrible service, but okay food. I saw a waiter take away a person's plate while that person still had a burger in their hands. Staff seemed generally unfriendly and cold. Wouldn't go here again.

I dined here for a mid week lunch with a colleague. We had the beef burgers from the express lunch menu. The burgers were tasty with well cooked meat and plenty of sauce. I particularly liked the chips served with the dish which had a nice seasoning on them. I would go back here to try other dishes from the menu.

Been here twice. Tasty juicy cheese burgers with high quality ingredients, very friendly service, awesome waterfront view, we had a lovely time. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a casual relaxing atmosphere. Burgers r about $17. They offer happy hour drinks for $5. They offer seatings downstairs and upstairs. Downstairs is alfresco with some shaded sections. Only down side was burgers r on the pricey side.

I always love a spot by the water, especially when it’s casual dining and you can just chill and eat good food and knock back a few cocktails. The highlight for me at Meat District Co. was the grilled watermelon salad with goats cheese. The perfect summer fare! #sydneyeats #casualdining #cheeseburger #sweetpotatofries

This is the second time we are here. Had the burgers previously and this time round we tried the lunch express specials.<br/>- Swordfish burger (interesting concept if not a little fishy).<br/>- Veal scallopini (tender pieces with sides of mash, the mushroom gravy is interesting with what I felt was strong flavour of truffles? Not sure if my taste buds are telling porkies)<br/><br/>Attentive staff with a happy demeanour and smiles!<br/>

Dine here on Wednesday early dinner at 6pm,taking advantage of 50% food bill only.<br/><br/>Venue: <br/>Lime street, king street wharf area, Darling Harbour.<br/>Beautiful water front view sitting.<br/><br/>Service:<br/>Waitress give us space to chose and checked of food was ok around 5’ after meal arrived, <br/>Good to that point but nothing offers if we wanted to top up our beverages, obviously alcohol related, and no follow up service after that.<br/><br/>Food & Drink:<br/>I have apple cider to start with.<br/>We ordered: <br/>Crocodile burger with ½ pork ribs and ½ beef ribs combo.<br/>Crocodile burger was served on beetroot bun, looks purple but not enough beetroot flavour to distinguish that specific taste.<br/>If I was blind folded, I couldn’t tell that was a beetroot bun... or my palate is not sensitive enough?<br/>Anyway, croc patty was taste good, texture like chicken meat, well season unfortunately I don’t like how it feels like slightly dry.<br/>Some extra sauces maybe help to swallow the burger better. My opinion anyway.<br/>Be aware that burger doesn’t come with fries. You have to pay extra.<br/><br/>Pork Ribs was good, decent amount of meat.<br/>Beef ribs on the other hand slightly struggling when I sinking my teeth in the meat, maybe 1-2 hours more on Sous vide cook will make different result.<br/>And not cleaning sinew on the bottom of the ribs bone is the minus point.<br/>I mm guessing chef left it untouched because of presentation purposes, looks good when the bones all intake and not falling apart.<br/>The most important thing for me, ribs meat on both need to be easier to eat and preferably falling of the bones.<br/><br/>Chips were on point, crunchy and well season, <br/>And on sweet potato chips, classic sour cream and sweet chilli will do the job better compare to aioli with smoked paprika.<br/>Just my personal opinion, and without disrespecting Meat District Chef’s food knowledge.

Meat Distrct Co. is situated in Darling Harbour. The downstairs outdoor seating area has waterfront view, upstairs area indoor seating area offers a more private dining experience. I enjoyed the slider flight (beef patty, crumbled chicken & pulled lamb) and the surf & turf burger

I should be rating a no star, I didn’t even get to experience this place - I was looking forward to coming here for lunch yesterday for a christmas party with my work company, but was very disappointed upon arrival they’ve cancelled our booking (35+ people ?!) all due to the assumption we weren’t coming. Ironically an apparent email and phone call that was supposedly sent out to my work company, verifying confirmation of our arrival was no where to be found on both parties<br/><br/>It’s a shame because I’ve heard good reviews from this place so unfortunately the miscommunications/ assumptions within staff left a bad impression. Please have the courtesy to at least follow up on the day and definitely have a confirmation of a cancellation before deciding to cancel on anything (we’ve book months prior to the date as well)

Was here with some work colleagues, one of whom had been here before and recommended it.<br/>I went with the burger sliders! The pulled pork was a bit dry but the other two (chicken) and (beef) were delicious! To be honest one of the highlights were the chips! I finished those before I even started on the burgers! I would rate it a 3.5 but since that doesn’t exist I’ve rounded to 4! Had a nice vibe and good service!

Came here for dinner and the staff were nice. They were attentive and kind. The service was good too. But the service I received prior dining was fairly average. The emails and phone calls were disorderly... the food was good, I like their chips but the ribs not so much. If you sit upstairs you get a nice view of the water. <br/><br/>Probably wouldn't dine again, but it was an ok first experience.

Nice steak/ribs/burger restaurant with great views on the top floor (especially by the open window area). Food was large sized (especially the ribs/burger combo, which was huge). Friendly service, and some quirky design elements (loved the menus shaped like a cleaver).<br/><br/>Ribs were super soft, fall off the bone, but tasted a bit more like boiled than BBQ'd (i.e. should probably have spent a bit more time on the grill)

Great burgers and steaks here in a convenient location. They do fast business work lunches as well as you can order in advance off their great lunch menu specials. This burger was yummy together with the fries and dipping sauce. Would come here again!

I come here quite a bit with my colleagues. This place has a lot of seating so it's great for big groups. There are also different seating options and my favourite is upstairs with the indoor/outdoor feel and the views. I don't think we ever had a bad meal from here. The meat is usually decent although most of my meals were good but not amazing. The standouts for me are the ribs and the bone marrow. The bone marrow is so delicious. On the other end, my biggest disappointment was the kangaroo. I felt that it was a bit chewy and it didn't taste great. Service is excellent here and the drinks menu is good. Dessert is average. It's part of the Citibank Dining Program so if each person orders a main and you pay with your Citibank card, you get a free bottle of wine.

The high quality meat more than makes up for the otherwise run-of-the-mill burgers. Usually it's the sauces that make a burger for me but Meat District suggests otherwise. Kudos also for the friendly staff who made an effort to make conversation as I was a lone diner.

Amazing menu with a wide range of options. Will steal any meatlovers heart. Burgers, Ribs, Steak, Platters and so so much more. Great service and meat was cooked to perfection. Try the ribs.. and the onion rings.. These were the winners from my visit. Thanks Guys

Located inside King Street Wharf dining precinct, Meat District Co. Sydney brings excitement to the area. To start off, they serve many exciting dishes showcasing burgers, ribs and dishes for the meat lovers out there (me included!). Then the Lunch Special. Such a good deal that you can take advantage of for 7 days a week!

A nice dining spot in King Street Wharf that isn't too touristy. The lunch specials are the best value option with a decent variety of food. Our table ordered a range of items including burgers, steak, ribs, bone marrow and salad. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. Service was generally friendly and efficient. There was a mix up with some of the orders but to their credit, they rectified it quickly.

The Ribs here are really tasty. I highly recommend trying this place near the city transport. The address states Darling Harbour, however I found it was closer to Barangaroo.<br/><br/>The cocktails here are also fair and reasonable ranging from $12 to $16 and a wide range. <br/><br/>The menu and plates are all in the save of a meat cleaver. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Must go back and try a big platter!

Staff very friendly, attentive, cheerful and fun. They realised we were waiting for our food for a long time and made amends. Highly commendable dishes were that paste / dip underneath the antipasto platter. It had very intense garlic flavour, better and less creamy than el jannah which is what I love. I also liked the smoky bacon inside my cheeseburger. It was unexpected but good. Compliments from the entire group. Would have liked the watermelon salad to have more watermelon. Staff partook in birthday celebrations.

Good place for work lunches. Usually come here for their burgers and they have consistent quality. Just this occasion that it took longer for the burgers to come, burgers buns are toasted and delicious with good combination of sauce, pickles and tomatoes. Fries are served hot and crispy. Will always come back if I crave for burgers.

The fries were hot and crunchy when they arrived at our table. The Japanese burger was good from the sauces but the actual beef patty lacked flavour. The service was not great with waiters not knowing where tables were.

Great for work lunches.<br/><br/>Situated by King St Wharf and within walking distance of many office buildings, this restaurant offers a great view and decently-priced food for a casual work lunch.<br/><br/>Their hotdogs and burgers are amazing.

Service was good but don't order the steak. I ordered the supposedly best they had - Cape Grim rib eye. At $40 I was expecting much better than a thin piece of chewy and grizzly meat on a bone. It was bad. I cook better on my BBQ from rib eye I buy at Coles. On a more positive note - my wife really enjoyed her burger. Maybe stick to those.

There is a happy hour here. EVERY round we were told to buy food. If your just keen for a catch-up over some beers just don’t bother. Staff are friendly but just annoying.

The food here was delicious. My boyfriend and I both got burgers- the cheese and the Brie burger. The cheese was simple but perfect and the Brie was so tasty, especially with the hint of cranberry sauce. The view is beautiful and the service was lovely. My only problem is the bar in the middle of the restaurant is rusty for the theme of the restaurant but I kept leaning on it, covering myself in rust. But other than that it was perfect.

Awesome burgers. A variety of flavours to choose from. Awesome staff and service. If you want a team lunch def the spot to go to. Price is also pretty affordable.

Great location however the steak left a bit something to be desired. Meat District Co. has quite an extensive burger menu, however I can't judge it since I didn't try any burgers. Feeling like a juicy steak, my partner and I both ordered the Sirloin medium rare, with sides to share (truffle mash and onion rings). The sides were what we expected and great. However, the burgers were a bit on the chewy & tough side and felt a bit dry and not juicy as we expected. Yes yes I know it could be the cut , but this was definitely a tough steak, even for its cut! So we were a bit disappointed by that.

We booked for dinner on Saturday night. We were sat hard pressed against the staircase railing with half our tiny table on the otherside of the railing. We placed our drink order with one waitress then a different waitress took our food order. We got food before drinks - we sat and watched multiple groups walk up to bsr and get drinks while we still waited for 1 beer and 1 cocktail. We both ordered steak, med- well with fries and "garlic sauce ". One of my steak medallions was closer to rare (and was very chewy) the other was cooked medium well but both mediallions came out cold. The garlic sauce was more like garlic water. While eating, we watched the staff watch an extremely drunk girl wander and stumble near the stair case, it wasnt till she stumbled down the many steps and attempted to go into the kitchen was she escorted to the outdoor area. I wouldnt recommend this restaurant.

We the for my little boy' birthday. He loves meat that why we went. The ribs that we ordered was great. Juicy and delicious. We all love the derserts. Beautifully presented. Happy hours is icing on the cake.<br/>

Came here with a couple of old work friends for what was supposed to be a quick-ish dinner and a catch up. <br/><br/>We had the Portuguese chicken burger, the cheeseburger and the pulled pork sandwich. There was no issue with the burgers themselves but the reason we ordered burgers was because we thought they would be quick. Also ordered two glasses of wine. <br/><br/>We were having a good chat so sort of lost track of time and we didn't want to make a scene so we were being patient even after 30 minutes of waiting and watching those around us get there food and leave we were starting to think something was up. After 45 minutes of waiting and still not even receiving our drinks we started trying to get the attention of the waitress which proved unsuccessful so we had to get up and go over and ask what was happening with our order. A couple of minutes later the manager came over with our drinks, half apologised and said the drinks were on the house and that they were really busy (half empty must mean busy in their eyes)and had forgotten to put our order through. <br/><br/>10 minutes later they sent us out some wings and another 15-20 minutes later the burgers came out. Don't get me wrong, they were good but the service wasn't. The manager didn't even apologise when we went up to pay the bill. <br/><br/>I'd love to give them a second chance but I probably won't risk it.

Food was nice, and servings were generous, but it feels like they are mainly relying on the location more than service and overall meal quality. <br/>Steak was cooked as per order.

By far, this restaurant is my favourite steak and chips joint in Sydney. Price range is not too bad, they also have a cheaper option during lunch time, plus the range of food and drinks is vast. What stood out for me was that all their sauces were tasty, seasoned well and pairs greatly with whatever dish I have ordered. I recommend ordering their onion rings with truffle aioli as it was the best I have ever had in years. If you can try to make a reservation, do it. But, they do have enough seats to sit several people. The service staff are quick to serve and attentive and this place has a good view of the harbour.

Their Ribeye steak was okay. Texture and doneness was just right. The bone marrow was awesome though. Match it with the truffle fires and you'll have a satisfying meal. Their staff was awesome though, really nice, helpful, and friendly!

Ordered for a cheese burger and a Portuguese chicken burger , both were well prepared , the only sugggestion would be , do serve salad and chips along with the burger ..... apart from that - great burgers and a must try - great location too .

The truffle fries were sooo good! Cocktail was Devine. There was a lack of service and very slow to have order taken hence the 4. Venue is great.

I love this place! Came here for a birthday dinner. Their food was perfect to me, especially their lamb hook!! The view is beautiful also. Get 25% cash back from the app called LIVEN which makes this place more appealing to me. My promo code UE1HW will give you an extra of $10 discount as well!! (I will get a little discount on mine as well so TIA if you choose to try this w my code xD) <br/><br/><br/>

We celebrated a romantic dinner at Meat District Co. down on King Street Wharf for Valentine's Day (yes we know... we are a bit late in posting this one). They had a great Valentine's deal that we couldn't pass up and with a view like that how could we say no. Located in Barangaroo, only a stone's throw away from Wynyard station via the Wynyard walk, its conveniently located for the avid commuter! Plus.. the set menu sounded amazing so we just had to make a reservation!

Beautiful harbour front venue which heroes meat (as the name suggests). Steak. Ribs. Burgers. And all the accompanying sides you could ask for. We got the truffle burger and rib eye on the bone, then carrots and ravioli chips as sides. Dessert was a solid option but definitely not their strength.

It was a beautiful afternoon and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Meat District Co. It is over two levels. The top level, perfect for a drink or two and downstairs is a huge space for your lunch, dinner or just a drink with friends. Certainly accommodates large groups too. An open kitchen, you can see the chefs at work. As the name suggests, it's mainly serving meats and we went for ribs, cooked perfectly and meat fell off the bone. We also got a hanging lamb skewer which was again, perfectly cooked. To accompany our meal, we went for sweet potato fries, and a refreshing kale, apple salad. It was a wonderful meal and came out fast too! For three people it was a lot of food, so sadly we couldn't fit in dessert! Next time. Has a good range of burgers too and options for the tourist, like kangaroo! Cocktails here are nice as well - make sure you get in for happy hour! Ours were so fruit and flavoursome and suited our sunday chill well! Staff were extremely hospitable. We appreciate their friendly nature and excellent service.

A great location and atmosphere.<br/><br/>We had a group booking here this past weekend. The staff were in general very friendly and accommodating. <br/><br/>The food too is delicious. I had the sirloin steak with the garlic sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce delicious and well balanced. The salad was a bit of a let down, being just some lettuce leaves, tomato and red onion popped into a bowl, but the onions rings were amazing. Perfectly crispy batter. I definitely recommend getting a side order of those.<br/><br/>The only real let down, was the location of our table, we were placed at the rear of the restaurant, underneath the stairs, near to their storage area and staff toilets. Pretty disappointing as we couldn't enjoy the view out of the harbour, or the general buzz of the restaurant.

On my first dining out in Sydney, I couldn't have had a better cheese burger. Ambience is lovely especially in the evening with cool breeze blowing on your face. <br/>Missed the happy hours for which the menu looked good enough to not be sober. <br/>Waiters are kind. <br/>Drink of the month with peaches was a sax cocktail.<br/>Cheers!

Lovely location and atmosphere, although on a really hot afternoon the place really needs air con. I ordered the ribs and sirloin combo and a side of sweet potato chips to share with my partner and it was okay. We asked for medium rare and the steak was rather dry and very chewy- and the ribs were on the dry side as well. The sweet potato chips and the aioli were amazing though. The staff were nice and professional.

first time here on Christmas day it's great experience the food for money is excellent and great portion.<br/>Staf members are we'll communicated and friendly. It's not like other places where the owner try to hit and flirt with staf members as place in Redfern St Sydney NSW.<br/>I am suprise by service and welcome to this place.<br/>I suggest any tourist or local to come and grab bite or just refreshing drink or beer.<br/>

This restaurant has very modern and spacious interior and outdoor seating, facing the pretty Darling Harbour. Let’s get straight to the point. The atmosphere is wonderful and they have excellent $10 cocktails! However, the menu is quite limited and if you don’t fancy bread or meat then you’re gonna have a hard time choosing something to eat.

I had group booking next door in 30min and George's med' introduced to come here to have some drinks because their tables were not ready. Excellent staff offered us prebooked well set up table at upstairs. We had happy hour drinks and some snack for an hour. The window seat look beautiful for dining out. All staff are kind and friendly. Will come back to try some food.

Super delicious burgers here - old faithful is great and the fries come with an amazing smokey bbq sauce! Great cocktails and service too - would definitely come back :)

The food is served on dirty scarred old wooden boards. Looks and feels quite unhygienic. Menus and cutlery etc. everything is worn and tatty. <br/>Buffalo wings were just cooked with a glug of cheap BBQ sauce. Where was the char. The grill flavour. <br/>Truffle mash was dry and lumpy. <br/>Staff were spot on friendly and professional. Reasonable selection of good brands of beer. <br/>Most expensive cut the medallions were average and cooked ok. Again for meat speciality there wasn't much magic. No woodsmoke no char. No unique seasoning. Just grilled meat. Value is ok. Not cheap not expensive.

Good view <br/>Liquor and some real good meat <br/>The ribs are a must try food, been here thrice and always had a good experience, <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

Nothing completes a good day like beautiful weather and a feast to behold at Meat District Co. We've been told that they have the best ribs around town, so we just had to find that out for ourselves. A successor to its original LA restaurant, this meat haven can only surprise you with what's in store.

Loved every bite out of our incredulous, golden, juice dripping 'Old Faithful' burger - highlight of the night and is now my number 1 burger (and I've tried my fair share!). Will definitely be going back to taste other meats on their own, because the meat in this burger just made it! The service was great, staff very polite and loved the creative styled menus - although price wise it was a bit up there for the size. Claudia

Tasty burgers and chips here (love the aioli) and the truffle burger is interesting (although not a strong enough truffle taste imo). However burgers are quite small and not that filling and the price is a bit steep. Recommend if you got money to spend but otherwise better options elsewhere

The burgers of Meat District are really tasty. The beef of the burger has good flavour. Maybe a little small but always worth it try a good burger. Nice chips, not much the chicken wings and the onion rings. And obviusly burger with a cold draft beer!!!

Lunches here are quite busy which is understandable. Nice location and close to public transportation. I enjoyed the surf and turf burger with a side of chips. 45 minutes waiting time, but as stated it was lunch time. I would like to go back to try something different.

Meat, meat and more meat! This place has a great selection of Ribs, steak and burgers. Cheeseburger @ $14.5 is great value and full of flavour. The Chicken hook $32 isn't probably the best value as there was not a lot of chicken on there but still great tasting. <br/><br/>Ambience is extremely nice with views of the harbour and the wooden decor gives it a great feel. <br/><br/>For the location, this is a great place with reasonable prices. <br/><br/>

The Meat District is situated in a row of eateries along the harbour, and we chose it as it seemed to be the busiest (usually a good sign in a different city).<br/>The burgers were not overly flavoursome, in fact almost bland, and the chips were $5 extra- boo!. Served on a now mandatory wooden board, it was small, and mostly uninspiring. The burger itself would rate only just above a McDonalds make your own burger (also served on a wooden tray).<br/>We didn't stay long as the music was overbearing, forcing conversations to be needlessly loud, and the venue really wasn't designed for a night out, just a feed on the way to elsewhere, which you have to do anyway if you want dessert choices.<br/>Been once, no hurry to return. Plenty of other choices on this strip.....

It is a lovely area to sit. The food is really quite nice and the prices are fairly good. The service leaves quite a bit to be desired. Three tables had people on them yet we had to grab the attention of the staff whenever we wanted something. I am a little disappointed.

Meat District Co is a cafe/bistro style restaurant situated right on King Street Wharf with an open view to the marina. It is definitely a venue that cannot be missed.<br/><br/>We ordered a couple of burgers and side dishes and they were really reasonable. The use of premium ingredients was a good start, service was friendly and quick. The value was good for King's St Wharf waterfront view. <br/><br/>The truffle fries were delicious and I adored the Nutella shake!  <br/><br/>The dining areas are spacious and can easily accommodate close to 100 people in one sitting. It is of little surprise that this is a popular corporate venue for Friday night drinks with work colleagues.

The burgers are tasty and the chips as well . Their soft drinks are not the best. However, the size of the burger is seriously small. It's more of a snack burger than a lunch one. I'd come back if I had good breakfast but not on an empty stomach.

Wasnt expecting too much since I think King St area is mostly for tourists or hen's/bucks parties. We ordered the watermelon salad for entree and it was ok - funny textured watermelon and quite skimpy on the goats cheese. We got a "hook" each of chicken and lamb - both were delicious! Tasty and yummy dipping sauce we loved it. We got a rack of ribs to share and weren't impressed. I've actually never had tough ribs but these were tough. Not sure if under cooked? Anyhow service was good so that was a positive too.

You always want to do the negative stuff first, but realistically this place is on King Street Wharf, the target market is tourists, Bucks parties and disoriented businessmen (definitely not women).<br/><br/>The steak, chips and salad were really solid.<br/><br/>The beer list is crap, have a pre dinner beer next door in Beer de Luxe. The wine list is truly awful, given they are selling $30 steaks, but the menu is weighted to burgers...see comment on beer (try harder)...are you confused? I am, I suspect they are too.<br/><br/>Service is really bizarre, some bloke in a tight shirt, surrounded by blonde backpackers of varying nationalities. English girl was good and trying hard, the random European...not so much. <br/><br/>

Food was great, the staff were super nice! Everything was so cleaning and welcoming. I defiantly wouldn't mind coming here again!! I just wish they had more options for dietary needs.

The service here is friendly and efficient. I had the Beetroot Chips With Jalapeño Mayo and Provolone & Pancetta With Whiskey Caramelised Onion & Black Tomato Burger With Chips. The food was tasty. The Beetroot Chips were thinly sliced and well salted. The burger was juicy and full of flavour.

The Meat District Co. certainly lived up to the name of its truffle fries, which incorporate truffle oil, truffle parmesan and truffle aioli and taste like they're double fried, based on the crunchiness of the exterior. The fries are very dense and filling and can easily be shared between two or three people who have their own mains. The fries were quite oily but were irresistible on a cold, rainy day for two people who hadn't eaten since breakfast. I was not a fan of the grilled watermelon salad - the 'grilling' was negligible and though I could see what they were going for - flavour-wise - with the feta, hazelnut and rocket pairing, it was presented in a way that seemed like someone had thrown some light toppings on three, large, thick slices of watermelon, which was definitely not a good way to combine the flavours. Smaller squares of watermelon and an actual bowl for the salad on would have gone a long way. I'd stick to the burgers here.

Food is good. I would recommend getting the sliders plate, gives a good combo of the 3 burger categories they have. Menus are cool as well, they look like a butchers cleaver. Avoid the cocktails, they are only $10 but there is barely any alcohol in them. <br/>Our wait staff didn't seem to care for her job, lost our order and moved incredibly slowly with a scowl on her face until she was standing right by the table, even though we could see her walking towards us...<br/>But food was decent. Better service will help.

If you are looking for a tasty burger, ribs or a nice thick steak then I can recommend the Meat District in Darling Harbour…. This evening I was invited to attend a great dinner with the bears of Sydney. Huge thanks for the organisers for this fun evening. Each month the guys get together to break bread. If you are keen to meet some new friends, this is a great option.

One of the few things that compels me to say something is when a wine that has obviously been open for too long is replaced with a fresh one (ok, thanks) and then the original wine is served up again when you order a third glass (no thanks).<br/><br/>Lesson for restaurant manager: When wine becomes undrinkable, you pour it away and learn how to manage your stock better in future. You don't keep serving it in the hope the next customer won't notice. Why? Because a) you might serve it to the same person twice (duh), and b) it speak volumes about the way you run your business. <br/><br/>Lesson for diner? If you're going to drink three glasses, buy a bottle!

I went there for a team lunch. I had a brie burger, my colleagues had the ribs and we shared the truffle chips. My burger was yummy but quite small for the money. The trifle chips were amazing. I tasted the ribs and I thought they were overcooked and the sauce was very sweet.

I booked this restaurant for my birthday two weeks in advance, when I turned up they didn't have my table and I had to wait 25 mins for my table. When I was finally seated it was in a table behind the stairs where they throw all there glass bottles and dirty glasses I spent the entire night trying to talk over thrown wine bottles. The staff seemed not remotely interested in serving us and then gave us dirties when we didn't vacate the table in a timely manner. The food was very tasty but the service and terrible attitude of the staff is why I will never return here! Thanks for ruining my 30th birthday!! If I could give you zero I would

Service was fantastic and has a great atmosphere , although the portion size for the burgers are ridiculously small .The pork ribs were possibly the worst i have eaten, first time ever that i didnt finish a full rack . They were also so tough it felt like i had to fight the rib to get the meat off the bone .

I came here specifically because they were holding there first Ribs Burgers Beers night which is rather popular at their Los Angeles location. Chris from Carlton United matched Matilda Bay beers with Meat District dishes and it was amazing. Customer service at mdc is very attentive and the food is great. Get the fries!!! They are so damn crunchy !

We had an entertainment book voucher to the place so we decided to give it ago. We came around a Friday night at 7pm, it wasn't too busy so there was no wait! Service was excellent, always made sure we had everything we need. We ordered truffle chips (omg soooo good with the truffle salt!!), onion rings, lamb hook for the mister (he loved it, wants to come back again) and ribs & ribs combo for myself (yum). I would really recommend this place! It's quiet, romantic with the dim lighting and not over rated.

Ordered the sliders and the cheeseburger. Both were great and the sliders are a good way to sample three of the burgers. Truffle chips were excellent and we wished there was more of it! I'd give the bone marrow a miss because it was quite difficult to eat and not really worth $9.

M E A T ☆ D I S T R I C T ☆ C O<br/>Such a great place for a decent feed, over looking the harbor. We tried the bone marrow which was fatty deliciousness & a burger which was good too! ✌ @foodiesguidetosydney

We went here for a team lunch. We had a nice table on the wharf with a nice view of the water and lovely breeze as we ate. We ordered a whole heap of dishes including roastes bone marrow, roasted carrot salad, heaps of burgers, hotdogs and ribs. All the dishes were tasty. The chips were especially crunchy. They had truffle chips which were amazeballs! However, each burger was around $15 and definitely not value for money given the small size.

If you're looking for a delicious rack of ribs go no further. We stumbled across Meat District Co at the end of King St wharf after missing our booking at Mejico. Even tho I was craving tapas and something just bitesized I changed my mind the instant I saw the huge rack of ribs being brought out to the table next door. We ordered the half and half rack of pork and beef ribs with chips and aioli (soooo good!) and the chicken skewers. Presentation looked lovely and the waitress was very helpful coming by to help when she saw us struggling with the skewer. Ooh I almost forgot the menus were super cute in the shape of a butchers knife (haha ok that doesn't sound that cute but see the photo). I also ordered the fruit ninja cocktail which was delicious :) The price wasn't too hefty esp in comparison to some of the restruarants down on the other side near cockle bay and the atmosphere was very nice!

Loved it. Fun yet stylish theme with an open kitchen, cleaver shaped menus, interesting menu options and plenty of flame heating which certainly added to the mood. Great staff, service was attentive and non intrusive and the kitchen was bustling with happy chefs... they fist pumped on finishing last service. Chicken hook was sensational. Pulled pork burger was lovely but the bun was way too sweet. Onion rings looked cool but a bit disappoint given the super exciting truffle with truffle and truffle description. Great date night option. Try it out.

I’ve been wanting to hit up Meat District Co for what seems like an eternity now, the first two times I tried to go turned out to be unsuccessful and only left me wanting to go even more. I finally got my chance one evening and siezed it. I walked in and didn’t even look at the menu, I’d known what I was going to order for months. The Rib and steak combo, Half a rack of their ribs, a 200g sirloin and fries. I had the steak cooked rare, the ribs with extra basting, red wine sauce on the side and, rare, extra basting on ribs,  red wine sauce in the side and upgraded the normal fries to truffle fries.

Tasty burgers but just be mindful that you need to add $5 for salad or chips making it a bit of an expensive lunch. The soft shell crab was delicious. However the truffle chips were way too salty. Nice to sit outside on a sunny day to enjoy the view of King street wharf!

Posted on March 19, 2015 by Feast Wisely Leave a comment Sydney does so many things well when it comes to spoiling locals and tourists with top places to feast. Like restaurants with glorious water views. And menus that showcase the best local produce. Affordable food prices that allow you to justify becoming a regular. And drinks lists that hero Australian wines and craft beers. But it’s rare that you get all of these packaged into one place – compromises are usually needed. So I was easily tempted into trying Meat District Co. – on paper it seemed to tick all of these boxes. The restaurant opened in late 2014 on King Street Wharf and is sister to a slightly older branch of Meat District Co. in Los Angeles. After my Meat District Co. feast here’s how I’d say it stacks up: Water view? Yes – its split level location on King Street Wharf offers views of Darling Harbour from both floors. Sit alfresco on the ground floor and watch the boats come and go. Or take the spiral staircase to the upper floor and grab a table by the window. Good produce? Indeed – the ‘paddock to plate’ inspired menu is grounded in their philosophy of sourcing ingredients in partnership with sustainable Australian producers. I’m taking grass-fed Cape Grim beef from Tasmania, house made sauces and more. Affordable prices? Yes – with salads less than $10 and burgers from $12 you’ll hardly think about the bill, and you certainly won’t walk away hungry. Even the wine list is capped at $60 and cocktails start at $10. And the drinks? The short Australian focused wine list makes a refreshing change from having to review pages of wine options. There’s also a long cocktail list to choose from. Beer drinkers are well catered for too – with tasting paddles and more….. Tasting paddle $12 – choose 3 of the beers offered on tap So what’s the catch? There isn’t one. Even the interior is no expense spared ‘rustic old-school’ and you can make reservations (h

  Why the Meat District Co.? He says:   There seemed to be a heavy push on social media regarding Meat District with the chief selling point being there expanding empire from   Pasadena. I was skeptical as it was located smack bang in the middle of a tourist trap mecca (Darling Harbour) but the photos I’d seen online made their burgers look like the they were the shizzle!

Boy do we have something meaty for you...Standing proud in King Street Wharf is the shiny new Meat District Co. Coming off the back of its extremely successful launch in LA, Meat District Co is tantalisingly good with its array of sizzling ribs, scrumptious burgers and cool casual atmosphere.

With summer fast approaching the kings of Meat District Co. owner Garry Simonian and his brother Coco has made people screaming for RIBS, BURGERS AND COCKTAILS at King Street Wharf. This two storey restaurant with...
