Meat Joint Scottish Steakhouse in Glasgow City

Come to meat joint for the first time this evening and we cannot fault our experience in anyway! Food was absolutely incredible we shared the chateaubriand and it was cooked to perfection! Service was also excellent, all staff couldn’t be friendlier but mark went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience! Overall I highly recommend this place if looking for somewhere to go in Glasgow city centre!

You will not find a better steak! We first came here in 2023 before we got married and the meal we had then became a bit of a legendary tale for good it was. From then on, every other steak we had was compared to the famous Meat Joint magic and while good, others just never came close to that melt in the mouth experience we had in Glasgow. Determined to seek out weather or not it was truly as delicious as what we remembered, or was it all a myth we'd generated in our heads, we ventured back to the restaurant two years later... Needless to say, the plates were near licked clean! Oh yes, it was as good as the fabled tales had foretold! Honestly, expect a beautiful meal here and overall wonderful experience - this is a perfect cozy restaurant which can be enjoyed through the day or at night and is a gem of a location close to the centre of town. The staff could not be more friendly, welcoming or helpful and clearly they are passionate about good food. But don't just take my word for it... go and create your own legend! And i can only apologise for ruining every other steak experience you have from there on :P

Anniversary meal. Food and service were exceptional. Toilets even had Kevin Bridges entertainment 🤣 Would definitely recommend 👌

Delightful and delicious. Staff were just a pleasure too

My first time visit courtesy of my eldest & her husband who have been several times. Unbelievable food; Scotch Duck Egg to start and then Tomahawk steak with Mac n cheese/ parmesan truffle fries. Definitely the best steak place I’ve visited and will be back. Big shout out to Mark who was wonderful; so pleasant, attentive and also a dead ringer for Will Sergeant(guitarist in Echo & The Bunnymen). Overall superb and a lovely treat all round!!!👍

An absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Exquisite steak, lovely wine and great service from Mark and Aiden.

What a meal! From the most succulent Châteaubriand to the perfect scallops WOW! Best steak & service Layla you were just a diamond, you made our meal and stay so personal and really made my boyfriends birthday spectacular ❤️ the best steak, service & atmosphere I will be back !!

Mark and Stuart were so welcoming. The food was delicious and excellent value. I can't wait to go back!

Great food and great service, would definitely recommend 👍🏻

The Meat joint has got to be one of the finest steakhouses in Glasgow. The food is to die for, the staff are amazing especially Mark, he is a fantastic maître amazing service every-time . P.s whom ever picks the music- thank you!

Today I had what I'd happily and easily say was the best steak I've had in a long, long time. Not only was my côte de boeuf cooked to a perfect medium / rare, but it had an exceptional crust on it also. The Diane and Chimichurri Sauces were excellent, as were my Parmesan chips too. An all round 5 Star steak dinner, and I'll definitely be back ..... and probably in a hurry too.

Just returned from a Sunday lunch and happy to say blew away my expectations. The staff are simply outstanding, nothing is too much and their attention to detail is second to none, so thank you guys. Opted for their Sunday lunch over what I really wanted which was the tomahawk (I will be back for that) and was very happy indeed , high quality produce cooked superbly and presented in a first class manner thank you again. See you soon for that tomahawk

Late night dinner, was absolutely exceptional - hands down best steak I've had, host and staff where very accommodating, helpful and pleasant. Will definitely be back to tackle a tomahawk steak👌 Thanks again, see you very soon!

Exceptional food and service - highly recommend.

I honestly could not fault one part of this meal in any way, from the food to the service to the over all atmosphere of the restaurant. Myself and my partner came to Glasgow for a mini baby moon before I give birth next week. We thought we would just chance our luck for a table after stumbling upon meat joint on Google. Marco and Stuart were so inviting and very attentive from the second we walked through the door. Making sure we had plenty to drink and that everything was okay with every course. We had a starter, main and dessert and I can fully say both our plates were empty after every course and i could not complain about any part of the meal. I highly recommend the tomahawk sharer as it honestly melted in your mouth. Overall the visit we had tonight was 10 out of 10 and the only thing I'd do differently next time is book ahead, but that was a fault on our part.

Best steak in Glasgow, no debate about it. Staff are fantastic, so polite, attentive, knowledgable and the menu is great. Can’t recommend the place enough.

Amazing place, Amazing staff, food is pure quality

The steak was unquestionably a great cut and perfectly cooked, medium rare, along with super nice peppercorn source and real chips cooked to perfection… so why four stars? Well, no vegetables on the menu… at all (potatoes aside) though we did get some lettuce on the side..in the middle of winter. Though I will say if you are a foodie, wanting a great steak and chips this is the place to go! Oh the desert was great too.

Cannot rate this place high enough! Food is unreal and the staff are the most welcoming, professional and attentive people. I recommend the sirloin - best I've ever had hands down!

Amazing restaurant!! Me and my husband went to celebrate our 9th anniversary and we absolutely loved it! The Staff is amazing and the food was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommended

Late lunch with my other half on Saturday afternoon. Food and service was both excellent. Completely lived up to all the other great reviews. Had a great time and will be back.

Really impressed by the food and the atmosphere here. Had the venison which was cooked to perfection and I like that they don’t try to squeeze in as many tables as possible, so even though the restaurant is on the smaller side it never feels crammed. Staff also couldn’t fault, very helpful and pleasant. Thanks for a great meal!

Excellent service, ambience, wine and food. Ticked all the boxes and more. A really fab first experience at Meat Joint.

Second time at Meat Joint, it's faultless. Staff are very friendly, they are efficient without being pushy or hurrying you. Food is delicious, very ample portions. Premises are small which allows the staff to be attentive, have been to other places where they cram as many tables in as possible, certainly not the case here. We will be back.

Great experience, Haggis keeps and tatties starter was very well done. Chateaubriand was cooked to perfection, sides are amazing (the chips!) Garlic butter was unreal not taking away from the meat. And unexpectedly the sticky toffee pudding was by far the best I’ve ever had. The service couldn’t have been any better giving a laid back vibe but there to cater to every need. Super friendly and professional. Will be back!

Wonderful hospitality, well prepared steaks and seafood - all rounder here 👌🏽

This is hands down the WORST restaurant experience I’ve ever had. We came to Meat Joint Glasgow expecting to enjoy the best steak in the city, but instead, we were met with pure arrogance, disrespect, and blatant racism. The waiter was unbelievably rude, and when we asked to speak to the manager, he smirked and said, “I am the manager.” When we demanded to speak to the owner, he arrogantly replied, “I am the owner.” What kind of nonsense is this? On top of that, he had the nerve to suggest that we should have ordered at least £400 worth of food, as if our £100 order wasn’t good enough for them. So now customers have to hit a spending target just to be treated with basic respect? Absolutely disgraceful! This place is a joke—horrible service, disgusting attitude, and a complete lack of professionalism. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! They don’t deserve a single penny from anyone.

I had a wonderful Birthday experience at the Meat Joint! We had the chateaubriand and it was faultless. It was tender, cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The side we had were also wonderful (roasted potatoes and onion rings). When we next want great steak we know where to go! Thank you also to the two gentlemen serving us they were top notch.

Just Go! Such a lovely restaurant. Amazing vibe. Lovely Staff & even better food. 10/10 would recommend

Stunning food, service was impeccable and so friendly, looking forward to returning already for the absolute best sticky toffee pudding we've ever had! 20/10 👍🏻

Unbelievable lunch at Meat Joint. We had the scallops and black pudding & chorizo scotch duck egg to start, chateaubriand with sides and sauces for mains and a sticky toffee and seasonal tart for dessert - there is not a single thing we could fault! The food was top class but the service was what made our experience. A laid back attitude to quality food, served by Laila and Aiden who were brilliant throughout. Could not recommend Meat Joint highly enough! Thank you so much - we will most definitely be back!

We ate here tonight indulging in the fantastic sirloin of beef Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Hands down the best beef roast I've had when eating out, the haggis neeps and tatties starter was also incredible and probably the best haggis dish I've ever eaten. Really 10/10 for the food and service, our server Layla was lovely. So warm, welcoming and attentive. We can't wait to go back.

Rack of Ayrshire Lamb 🐑 Whatever you ordered for main, side or beverage, their staff are passionate to entertain you. Atmospheres nice, foods are great. Worthy to enjoy.

I recently visited Meat Joint for a family dinner, and it was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the experience stood out as one of the best dining moments we’ve had in Glasgow. The service was amazing—staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and well taken care of. What really stood out was how genuine and enthusiastic the team was; you can see they truly enjoy their jobs and take pride in working at the restaurant. Their attentiveness made the experience feel intimate and special, but never overwhelming or intimidating. As for the food, it was some of the best steak we’ve ever had in Glasgow. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh and was beautifully presented, showcasing the care and craftsmanship behind the menu. The quality was evident in every bite, and the flavors were nothing short of perfection. Glasgow has no shortage of restaurants, but Meat Joint is undoubtedly one of, if not the best, all-around steak restaurants in the city. The combination of exceptional food and outstanding service makes it a cut above the rest. If you’re looking for a memorable steak dinner in Glasgow, Meat Joint is truly unmatched.

Birthday day out in glasgow with jacqui & Guide Dog Wee Skye on Hogmanay. My friend booked it as a surprise Had a lovely warm welcome and was asked where we would like to sit and we got the table next to where the heater was with plenty of space for Guide Dog Skye I had delicious scallops and cote de Boeuf, medium rare with onion rings and peppercorn sauce it was so delicious and filled me up. Skye was given a bowl of water ; bowl was imprinted with meat joint on it - fanciest water bowl we have ever had when eating out Jacqui had the duck egg scotch egg which had black pudding and chorizo and then she had a sirloin , medium with garlic butter and chips. The steak defeated her so got a doggy bag to bring home. Service was brilliant and the man who was serving us ( think jr was Mark? ) asked about Skye etc and loved the story of the #the2skyes 😂 ( I have a collie called Skye as well ) and he wished us a happy new year when we were leaving which was lovely Will definitely be back I think it’s the best steak I’ve had and would highly recommend

Great steak and really nice staff

Will definitely be back! We booked for a family retirement dinner and both the food and service was amazing! The staff helped make it a memorable night. The chateaubriand was perfectly cooked and I could not fault any of the food

One of the best steak dinners we've ever had, the staff were absolutely brilliant and the food was delicious, would definitely come back when we return to Glasgow

My wife and I went to this place tonight 22.12.24 and had the best fillet steak that we have had in a long long time. It was totally amazing. We were served by Mark And Addie their service was brilliant. Honestly anyone that loves a steak you need to visit the Meat Joint can’t wait for the next time we visit 10 out 10 all rounder

My family and I had a lovely experience eating here. The dishes were prepared with obvious great skill and care and presented beautifully. Lots of locally sourced ingredients too which is always good to see. We were really well looked after by Aiden, a consummate professional host. Would recommend and would visit again for sure.

Lovely staff, very attentive and up for a laugh. The food was the best I've had in a while started with the Barra scallops and shared the tomahawk steak and even took the bone home for the dog.

Great food, we got there steak sharer tomahawk we really enjoyed it with mac & cheese and chips with Diane sauce & Pepercorn sauce, customer service was great

From the moment we walked in we were made very welcome.... the service was outstanding with staff very knowledged in the food/drink areas... the food was outstanding from starters to desserts we were in awe... the food was also cooked to perfection as asked and nothing was a problem.... will 100% return and many thanks to Marco for the great hospitality

Fantastic welcome. Wonderful service. Super freindly staff. Steak was ok, but not special. The starter was very interesting and creative. Haggis,neeps and tatties. Delish. I've given a low score on atmosphere because of the horrible noisy woman who projected her fish wife, heavy smokers voice above everyone else's. Including ours, we couldn't hear ourselves think. This is not the restaurants fault. But more and more this is the case in restaurants and I do believe it is the place of the restaurant to ask people to respect other diners. Without having to be asked to do so. Just keep the peace and a cordial atmosphere for everyone. My dining experience was seriously spoiled.

Attentive staff, excellent food and wine. Worth a visit

Food amazing staff so friendly will definitely be back

They had to kick me out … I didn’t want to leave.

Food was outstanding! I had the Fillet and roasted potatoes. It was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Mark was a wonderful host, we had great conversation and he was a wealth of recommendations. Will definitely be back next time I’m through this area.

So glad we found this gem, top service and delicious food at a reasonable price

I love steak and this was the best value steak I believe I've ever had. A quality cut, cooked to perfection. Chips were amazing and fantastic service. Highly recommend

Scallops and then the Lamb were pure tasty

Amazing food and service here, starters were really good, we had the soup and the haggis, delicious!! As main we had the steak and lamb chops, very tasteful both! Definitely worth the price, would recommend to anyone, we will return once back in town.

Outstanding food, and service. Family owned restaurant and it mirrors with the personal service. You won't get a better steak in Glasgow.

Came in for our 20th Anniversary, it was so good. 100% will come back whenever we come back to Scotland.

Our 1st time visiting here and we certainly will be back the food was absolutely superb the service from the staff was also top class, I would definitely highly recommend you visit if you love a steak.

Best steak we have ever had, it was cooked perfectly. The sticky toffee pudding was worth feeling too full, it was delicious. The staff were really friendly and cheerful.

First visit here. We were warmly welcomed. Food was lovely. Well cooked and presented meat was sooooo tasty. We had the Sunday roast. Friendly ,enthusiastic staff. We'll be back!!

This establishment has the potential to be the finest steakhouse in all of Glasgow. Upon our arrival, an elderly gentleman greeted us with a warm smile and promptly served us drinks at the bar while we waited for our table to be prepared. The food was exceptional; we ordered a bone-in ribeye and a boneless sirloin, both cooked to perfection. Our waitress demonstrated great skill and attentiveness throughout the meal. As a delightful gesture, we were offered complimentary espressos at the end of our meal. I highly recommend this establishment and will certainly return in the future.

Been a couple of times lovely decor,amazing service,friendly staff,lovely chill atmosphere...recommend 100%

Food is absolutely banging, only.thung better about the place is the amazing customer service

Best Steak ever! Great staff and service

Great dinner,its not cheap but the food is above expectations one of the nicest meals and steaks.Staff were out going lovely but not in your face.Would call again 😋

A great find in Glasgow. Small relaxes steak joint with great atmosphere and service. The steak is excellent. Melt in the mouth good. Great sides if you fancy a bit extra. Good drinks and cocktails. The sticky toffee pudding and ice cream is a real memory of Glasgow. It was the best I tasted... The ice cream yiy could stick your face in good 🤣

My partner and I ate here last night and both enjoyed our steak, it was cooked perfectly and the chips were spot on. The decor was fresh and the restaurant was very clean. The staff were incredibly cheerful, it's the happiest restaurant I've ever been to! It's set the bar high for the rest of our stay in Glasgow!

Aiden and leyla and were so amazing. The steak was superb. We enjoyed the food and services too. I highly recommend.

Lovely Sunday lunch and great service.

I usually don't write reviews but delicious food, amazing service, very very charming intimate atmosphere. Will be returning :)

I had one of the best meals of my life, the staff were so friendly and helpful, very knowledgable about the menu as well as the cocktails. The food was outstanding, I could not recommend coming here more!

Just had the most delicious dinner of fillet steak and scallops to start. The staff made our night out so special, couldn't have met a more welcoming staff, even got a few free prosecco as it was my birthday, 10/10 all round and will definitely be back and would highly recommend this lovely wee restaurant 😊

10/10 for everything! Service was amazing & the steak was even better! 1 of the best steaks I’ve had, highly recommend

Absolutely brilliant. Great service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Best fillet steak I've ever had 🍣

Service was great, very attentive but not overbearing. Perfectly cooked rare steak, chips and probably the best peppercorn sauce I’ve had. But regardless of how good the steak main was, the haggis starter completely over shadowed it, from the sweet turnip puree, crispy potato tweel to the haggis ‘wellington’ it was beautiful. Perfectly peppery and I’ll be dreaming of it for weeks.

If you want to eat real Scottish meat dishes, and meat in general, this is the place for you. Large Scottish beef steaks, to the point, very good. The service, as always in Scotland, was very friendly, courteous and quick. If we ever come back here, we'll do it again at any time.

We spent our last Scottish night in this cozy little restaurant. Great food and very attentive with the service.

Very friendly and attentive staff The meat was good but honestly it didn't respect the weight indicated on the menu Prices above average

Best food, best service, best steak I've had in the UK

My husband had been wanting a tomahawk steak for years, but in the US they are just way too expensive so when we came across this place and saw they had it on their menu at a much more affordable price than the US we had to get it and let me tell you it did not disappoint! It was absolute perfection and cooked beautifully! The flavor was so good and the garlic butter and red wine au jus paired so perfectly with it. The truffle fries were also a 10/10. Even dessert was delicious and it was homemade vanilla ice cream. Our server Mac was also so great and attentive and super nice. We left feeling so full, but perfectly satisfied. It was delicous and next time we're back in Glasgow we'll definitely be stopping by again.

A very nice discovery and a good quality of dishes. Thank you for the service, warm and professional!

Have been wanting to try this place for a long time and I finally did. All I have to say is Wow! The steaks exceeded my expectation. The bone-in côte du boeuf was so flavourful and tender, I asked for medium doneness and it turned out perfectly done. And I mean Perfect! The edge was a little charred which enhances caramelised flavour, the inside was juicy, tender and pink. My partner had the sirloin medium well done, the top layer fat was also perfectly done with some parts crunchy and packed with buttery flavour. All steaks come with choice of a side and small amount of salad. The côte du boeuf and sirloin were huge in portions. I had to bag half of them home and they still tasted so nice! We chose Peppercorn sauce which was cooked with mushrooms, again top notch. The house red Romanian Malbec was easy to drink and good. Service was prompt and attentive, the boys checked on us regularly. As the restaurant has limited tables (say around 10), reservation is highly recommended. Definitely will return! 👍🏼

If you haven't tried Meat Joint you absolutely have to go atleast once, and you'll want to go again and again. We've been twice now and rave about it to everyone, the fillet steak is the best thing I have ever eaten (twice). The peppercorn sauce is beautiful and compliments the meat very well, the chips are to die for. Would recommend the scallops or the haggis for starters, beautiful presentation and everything tastes amazing. The drinks menu is good but beware, if you are looking for a cocktail (which isn't on the menu unless you ask) they are dangerously good but also expensive... we would still recommend a pina colada and the old fashioned which made my whiskey-loving dad very happy. The scottish comedy act playing on the speakers in the toilets is a really nice touch. We will definitely be back.

excellent tender lamb rack and chef soup

Absolutely outstanding on all fronts !! ❤️

Staff helpful and food was amazing cocktails really nice

Brilliant food and very attentive staff Aiden who is willing to chat about the food

Great little place food drink.and staff are the best

We’ve tried many steakhouses in the area and this surpassed every single other one!!! By far!!! The Meat was cooked and seasoned to perfection. It’s not a big hustle bustle restaurant so the atmosphere was wonderful and the service and hospitality second to none!

Had a lovely Sunday roast with friends. Normally, I'd say it was a touch overpriced for what it was but we got it as a deal on Itson, so good value. The service was great, very friendly.

We were on the deal for a Sunday roast dinner and had the beef. Succulent and delicious - great banter and attention from the server and a decent price. What's not to like?

I made my wife happy at Meat Joint. The place is spectacular, very well decorated, with class and good music. Mark took care of us and it was an incredible experience. Super friendly and pleasant. The food is simply brutal. We will return, I am sure.

Great spot for a bday dinner. Front of house were so lovely and speedy despite being a member down and the food was spectacular. Venison was just perfect 👌

The best steak we've ever eaten. Great service. Perfect truffle sauce

Absolutely superb Full of flavour Really fast service Very much worth a visit

5/5 all round. Friendly welcome on arrival. Waiter have a cracking recommendation for the wine. Food was first class. Service quick and efficient and asked if we required anything else. Nice ambience. I would recommend.

The service here was the highlight, The steaks were excellent too, cooked perfectly and everything really tasty. Can't wait to come back!

This restaurant had good reviews so we booked here. We got a table for 2 at the front of the restaurant near the fire extinguisher. When we received our starter the waiter nearly flipped the meal in my lap. He had to go back to the kitchen to rearrange the plate. I ordered a sirloin medium grilled that, according the menu was 500gr. What I received was not medium en did not weigh 500gr, more like 350 gr. 350 was enough but don't put 500gr on the menu. We didn't receive what we payed for. So for us this restaurant is overrated.

I don’t normally leave reviews at places but the way I have just been treated was horrible. We went in as I had an itison voucher and the manager was so rude. I misread it and didn’t realise I couldn’t use it on Father’s Day and when I said that I was fine to not use it, he got aggressive and so rude. He started talking down to me like I was an idiot ,even though ,I was happy to not use it and just have a nice meal. We ended up walking out because it wasn’t an environment we were comfortable in and I’m just disappointed that somewhere I was excited to eat at had such a rude worker that I don’t even want to go back to try the food and that I’m now out of a deposit purely because we didn’t feel comfortable eating in somewhere after being spoken to in such a disgusting, condescending manner. I feel sorry for the bar staff and other waiters as they seemed nice and were apologetic but I will definitely be warning people about him as he needs to learn how to correctly talk to customers.

Fantastic food and great service!

Table of 2. Went in for a birthday celebration. Food was excellent and so was the wine. One of the best steaks that I have had. Mark our server was amazing

Great time in this Glasgow steakhouse, the starter, meats and sides were delicious, and the service impeccable!
