We had another amazing meal at Meat Liqour Brighton and whilst it’s been consistently great for many years, our latest visit on Fri 16th Aug was the best yet. The burger smashing has been honed to perfection; well seasoned super thin patties, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Fries great as always and the dead hippie sauce was the perfect accompaniment. A special mention to our host Dylan, he ensured a great burger was accompanied by a great experience and made the visit memorable for all the right reasons. Can’t wait to visit again soon! Thanks again Dylan and all the team at Meat Liqour. You smashed it!

Group of 9 attended on a Friday night for some food and drinks. The entire place has a great vibe. Lots of delicious food and drinks choices. I have to say my burger was honestly one of the best I’ve had. Cannot recommend this place enough. All of the staff were very accommodating and helpful, our server Harry in particular was fantastic. You have to try this place!

Quality has dropped, the new monkey fingers recipe isn't as good, breaded chicken now and the quality of chicken isn't as good as previously Burgers and shakes still good but lumps of unmelted cheese on the chilli cheese fries now Used to be an elite place for good food but it's just dropped off a bit now, a shame really

The food was lovely, but to wait 55 mín for food? Ridiculous. I dont blame the staff because we could see they are running around, trying to deliver, doing their best But we felt like the restaurant was heavily understaffed. 2 waitresses, 2 chefs, 2 bartenders making drinks. It was a busy Sunday night after a Marathon - simply Not enough.

We came here for our teenage son’s birthday and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend the ‘Dead Hippie’ burger which was cooked to perfection and the Malted milkshake was a wonderful addition. Great food, fantastic atmosphere in a truly funky venue. A tip for those visiting by car, park in Trafalgar Street car park, which offers secure parking for £6.90 all night after 6pm.

Can’t pretend we loved the food here. Everything was completely drenched in sauces, which whilst sounded delicious on the menu completely overpowered the food. The monkey sauce on the chicken wasn’t pleasant at all, and like eating neat vinegar. The cheese sauce on the chips was plain nasty. It was a shame as this was a Christmas treat for our kids, but the flavours were just so overpowering that some of the dishes weren’t palatable. Hasten to add ive never left a bad review before, but wouldn’t go back here. Plus side, waitresses were really great and attentive, not their fault the food wasn’t great!

Were seated for 20 minutes before we even saw a server to take our order. Drinks then took another 15 minutes to arrive Food arrived 50 minutes later. No communication as to what the hold up was, or if there were any issues. Food finally arrived. buffalo fries were soggy, the sauce was way to thin, should be thicker, so it was just a giant pool at bottom of dish making them uneatable. Beef burger was fine. Buffalo chicken burger terrible, thin chicken breast used which had next to no meat, didn't even fill half the bun. Bill arrived, 12.5% tip already added, plus charity donation. I understand you can ask to have them removed but just makes you feel obligated to pay. Tip should be at customer discretion, not added on already. Shame as usually enjoy this place, but we won't be rushing back anytime soon after that appalling service and experience.

Have been here a few times and been consistently impressed by the place. The staff are commendably friendly and efficient and the food and drink are varied and consistently good. Most recently we visited for my friends birthday. One thing I love is how versatile this place is- I’ve been here for lunch, I’ve been here for a night out and it excels at both. They have an extensive drink menu and we ordered some interesting cocktails of their own design that were very tasty, I also ordered from their more classic selection of cocktails and opted for an old fashioned a little later in the evening- it was perhaps a tad sweet for my tastes but that is purely personal preference. They also have a good list of beer and wine if you’re more in to that. I was always dubious visiting here as a vegetarian since the word meat is literally in the title, but the veggie options here are varied and sublime. I started with an order of fried pickles, which I admit are an acquired taste, but they were delicious and they pair excellently with a beer. The cheese and onion loaded fries were great as well- a good amount of toppings: gooey cheese, pickled and crispy onions, and fries that still managed to be crispy underneath. The garlic mushroom burger was out of good world. I’ve been to restaurants and audibly heard the chef scoff at having to cook a mushroom burger, but this is no joke. Garlicky, umami and delicious. Genuinely one of- if not the- best burger I have ever had. I could not recommend it more strongly. Overall the food is well presented, fairly reasonably priced and incredibly tasty and the service is efficient without being officious- the staff are both chatty and attentive. We will definitely be back.

Came here to celebrate my daughters birthday as it’s her favourite restaurant. We love the vibe, decor, food and shakes! Slightly disappointed that, even though we were asked on our reservation if we were celebrating an occasion and stating this on the form, not one member of staff wished her a happy birthday or acknowledged the occasion. Suggest either removing this question from the form if it serves no purpose or putting in processes around it to improve service. That said, food and atmosphere was fab as always and we will be back!

This place used to do ‘amazing’ burgers and every time I visited Brighton I would visit. Went end of September and the food was ‘just’ ok. It felt like everything had been dialled back in terms of taste and quality. We did speak with someone who said only the cheese sauce on the chilli fries had changed but even the chilli wasn’t as good. Unsure how to categorise this but it’s not as good as it used to be, which is a real shame.

Always loved going to Meat Liquor, our go to was always Monkey Fingers; delicious strips of tender chicken I believe to have been battered in tempura batter? I may be wrong but either way, they were delicious. In a serving of buffalo sauce served with blue cheese sauce. A hardcore chicken fans dream. We only ever visit when we’re in London or Brighton but go every time were in town. Until now. We ordered our beloved Monkey Finger dish this evening, most likely for the last time. Bland, breaded coated chicken, most likely a knock off of Colonels secret recipe, which was also seasoned with charcoal. If you’re visiting expecting to have your beloved Monkey Fingers as you last remember it, avoid going to Meat Liquor at all cost. They’ve ruined the dish and probably angered allot of patrons. I’d be interested if a manager could make comment as to why this popular dish has been ruined?

An interesting, quirky place to eat. They have a good selection of drinks including floats (e.g. cherry soda with ice cream). Food options are burgers or little bites. 2 of us shared a selection of the little bites e.g. fries, fried pickles, macaroni cheese, hot hashbrowns, chicken etc which were very tasty.

Cheesy onion chips are awful now, they have nacho cheese covering them with a sprinkle of red onions. Monkey fingers are now chicken goujons and the chicken wings didn’t look appetizing at all. Dead hippie still tasted the same ( untouched) which is always a go to but we won’t be going back again unfortunately.

Looked up the food and drink on Instagram as well as the online menus and was pretty excited about hitting up Meatliquor with some mates. We were seated and waited about 8 minutes for a drink- pretty decent selection (but you can get better quality cocktails at places like Bootlegger without the price tag!) I did really enjoy my peaches and cream IPA though- only it was £5 a can! I imagined with such expensive prices the serving sizes would reflect the cost but absolutely not! The £7.20 green chilli fries were an absolute joke- no flavour, soggy and clearly rushed. The cheese had barely melted and the 'green chilli butter' was just a poor man's sprinkle. We waited an hour for our meal and it was all served at once- the pickles would've been great with my first beer but alas EVERYTHING came out at once. The onion rings were £5 and you literally got five of them FIVE. It was a joke, maybe they are made of the rarest brown onions Lidl has on sale. The burgers- I ordered a £10.45 burger and it could fit into the palm of my tiny little hand. It was ridiculously small, way too much sauce and buffalo is my favourite- the sauce was too vinegary and was soaked in it. Mac and Cheese bits were literally bits- £6.95 for 5 squares! I was so disappointed, I felt ripped off and I guess that's why I am choosing to write this review- help manage others' expectations. This place was underwhelming in every aspect, did not deliver on any level. Servers were semi attentive and apologetic about the long wait- after the huge disappointment of dinner I no longer wanted any dessert or to try their spiked milkshakes. I'll never go back again won't be recommending this place to others. Desperately need to manage price/quality/portion size as the price doesn't hold up to the quality or size of the food.

Popped in here after the cinema this evening having heard great reviews about the place. The food was good, slightly overpriced for smaller than expected portions but sides in particular were really nice (hash browns and mac&cheese). However, the visit was overshadowed by the insanely rude waitress who served us. Initially, we were shown to our table by a very nice girl. Then our waitress approached. She took our drinks order and very suddenly and promptly stormed off. We shared a smile about and then she came back to take our food order. At the end of taking both of our orders, she quite literally rolled her eyes, sighed loudly and tutted as she abruptly walked off again. It was so brazen we didn’t even have time to make light of it to her and just looked at each other as if wondering if that had just happened?! The final nail in the coffin was her adding a voluntary 12.5% tip to the bill which I very politely asked her to remove. I don’t normally like to do this but honestly, we both agreed it was probably the worst service we’ve ever received.

All was utterly delicious, great flavours, perfect portion sizes and everything was lovely and fresh. Cocktails were nice, didn’t have a pud!! Price - I thought good value for money as we were full to bursting and as a couple we ending up spending a little over £60 with a couple of cocktails.Environment - great vibe about the place, nice music, funky layout and very clean and tidy.

Fries were cheap rubbish and costafortune! Serving everything on a tray to then balance transferring to a plate was a shambles. Smallest cheeseburger I have seen. All in all the most expensive rubbish burger experience ever. Maccy Do’s and BurgerKing would be luxury in comparison. Do not waste your money as will be very disappointed!

It’s been a while since we visited MEATLiquor in Brighton and on this occasion we came away disappointed and underwhelmed. We visited at 5pm on a Saturday and the place was relatively quiet. Our server was a young man who had lost the ability to smile (maybe he was just “deep”?). We asked if they served non alcoholic beer and he didn’t know, he seemed affronted to have to ask at the bar which was 3 feet away. They do serve non alcoholic beer - FreeDam - but they’d already run out. Sigh. The food was okay, but since MeatLiqour arrived on the scene a number of rivals have surpassed it (check out The Woods in Worthing for an incredible Burger experience). This place seems to rely on the same old menu and some wacky wallpaper and great (really great) loud music to keep going. After a standard Dead Hippy, Satan’s Fingers and kid’s Hot Dog we went for the signature pudding of Filth Pie - guess what??? Yup, they’d run out!!!! God knows what they were gonna serve customers in the busy Saturday night slot. Someone really needs to get a grip with their ordering processes. All in all pretty “meh” and we felt like as a family with a dog we weren’t really wanted there. One pleasant server asked if we’d like a water bowl for our dog - nice touch - would’ve been even nicer if she’d actually remembered to bring it at any point!!! Don’t get me started on the discretionary service charge that they add automatically. 10 yrs ago we had some great times in this place when it was the new kid on the block but adly time has not treated the restaurant, nor its customers, with kindness.

we were a party of 9 out for a good meal for a 50th birthday. well here goes..... 5 meals got sent back because they were cold, they had been sitting under the lights whilst the other meals were being cooked. They did cook all the 5 meals again for us but by the time they were cooked from fresh we had lost our appetite and the rest of the party had finished their meals. I would like to say thank you to manager and she was very apologetic. I cant see myself ever returning to one of their restaurants again. Not a great experience .

I was quite surprised when we arrived as it was not what I was expecting (I had more of an american diner image in mind). The atmosphere was good, if a bit loud for dinner. Food was excellent, everyone enjoyed it, even though I only had a plain burger it was good quality and very tasty. Would definitely eat here again.

This is our fourth MEATliquor we have visited. A little slow being served, even though it wasn't overly busy. The food and wait times were good as always. The man who gave us our bill was very pleasant.

My Fiancé and I visit every time we come down to Brighton from London! I’m sure they used to do standard hot dogs but now only have the Chilli dogs on the menu so changed my order up with a burger!! Very yummy, drinks are good. Waiters/waitresses friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back again!

Arrive for a table booked at 8:30 pm however was greeted by the front of house staff she was very rude/ abrupt and said that we did not have a booking, explain that we phoned up and booked a table just over two weeks ago and I explained to the male staff member over the phone that wear a group of 10 and we could be split over two tables which was agreed. However On arrival before I could even explain any of this was just told we didn’t have a booking before the even confirmed any of my details. When I did try to explain the above staff member was very rude, abrupt, stand offish, un apologetic for booking error on the restaurants behalf. Not sure if they’re being Judge mental due to us being in hen party outfit however unnecessary rudeness from the front of house staff member when we had phoned and booked a table which they denied. However the food was brilliant big portions. Recommend booking online not over the phone. Would hate for anyone to have to experience disappointment like we did.

To start with the positives, the decor is funky and it's a nice casual place to get a bite to eat. Unfortunately, for us, that was where it ended - the food was average. The main issue was they had seemingly run out of most drinks so ordering a drink was very challenging as the response 9 times out of 10 was "we had a really big weekend so have run out of that!" - no gin at all, no cocktail, the wine we ordered was the last bottle they had and randomly someone had had a glass out of it already - they did give us 10% off that though which was something. It was a bit odd that the staff made no apology for their ridiculously low stock or attempted to suggest any alternative options. Seems very strange there wouldn't be a restock of drinks after a weekend - and if there is an issue, at least be upfront about it and apologise rather than when we try to order something saying "oh I don't think we have that, it's been a big weekend!" (yes seriously, heard that so many times both at our table and others!!)It was also a bit bizarre that when my fiance happened to mention in passing that it was his birthday, the waitress didn't acknowledge it at all, just said "oh" - wishing someone "happy birthday" costs nothing (we weren't trying to get a freebie or anything, it genuinely was his birthday!)

Start with the positive.Sides were good. Deep fried mac and cheese, excellent, wings very tasty and the saitan veggie fingers good size portion and tasty.The burger however was atrocious. Swimming in juice in the box which was disgusting. Totally inedible as a burger!What made this worst is that you didnt read the instructions with our order so came incorrect which was insult to injury.For a bacon double cheeseburger where is the cheese?? None to be found in amongst the driest most overcooked meat patties have ever had the misfortune to be served.The milkshake lol.£5 for that is criminal. Could forgive the small cup we received if you guys had bothered to actually mix a shake instead of serving up semi frozen slush. Literally no better than a mcds shake. Went in the bin! Gave you guys a chance but with the competition out there (try Joe's for a authentic experience or if after the American style shake shack is very good) you shouldn't be falling this far behind. Meat liquor used to be SO good what has happened?! Getting 2 stars for the sides and that's generous.

We visited Meat Liquor in December as a group of 3 friends before the lockdown restrictions tightened and had the best time. We booked in advance and used the track and trace app before entering. There were also plenty of opportunities to sanitize and social distancing rules were in place so it was very safe. The restaurant is decorated with such an edgy feel, its very cool and unique. There is a lot to choose from on their menu (and not just meat options believe it or not), we visited with a vegan friend and she was more than satisfied with the options. The food was absolutely delicious and the cocktails were even better. It had a great atmosphere, the waiters were really helpful and welcoming and the vibe was on point with good music. Overall we had a great visit and would highly recommend Meat Liquor to anybody visiting Brighton!Instagram: @journeywithuss

Uber have failed to deliver to us twice now. We have phoned and told the Brighton restaurant both times. Chilling outside my house both times without knocking or alerting us that they are there. Meat liquor need to sort it. They are being scammed. We get a refund but no food. Everyone loses except the drivers who are onto a good thing

So disappointed with Meat Liquor tonight! Waited 15 mins for my click and collect (C&C)and get home and they forgot the sauce! Call up and all they can say is “Oh you can come back to collect it”... yeh I’ll just do that and pour it over freezing cold food! Onion rings weren’t up to usual standard either (usually huge but tonight just 4 average size onion rings... certainly not giant) Service is usually pretty good but tonight it was not!! Hopefully tonight isn’t a reflection of the new standard of service!

Over the weekend my two friends and I had a reservation at ML Brighton and we had such a great time. I'd heard of this place before but never been myself so was curious to see what it was like. We had Kai as our waiter and what amazing service we recieved ! Initially we had gin and cucumber tonic, my friend thought her tonic was a little flat- but kai sorted it straight away and as of then the drinks were flowing as was the conversation. He was extremely attentive, always checking we was alright- Brilliant! The food was great too, thanks Meat Liquor... I'll be back

Firstly I will point out that I have been in here a few times over the years for drinks and previously very much enjoyed it. But last night I paid a visit and it was an absolute joke. The whole visit was just full of disasters. I arrived early for our booking (15 minutes), which I booked well in advance (maybe a month or longer ago) for two people. I was told that they were so busy and therefore we would have to sit on the Terrace. On a cold evening in October. As if we were going to do that. So therefore we squeezed onto a tiny table by the pool table, not really suitable for two people to eat at, but what choice did we have. The pub was busy and there seemed to be a pumpkin carving event on which was an charge extra. As we hadn't booked this 'extra' I can only imagine they gave our table away to someone who was eating and carving, and therefore paying more, and our booking ignored out of greed. I politely questioned if our table had been given away and the guy was addemant it hadn't. Even though we booked so so so long ago, yet there was no suitable table for us. Kind of pointless booking. Once my friend arrived I went down to the bar to order the food. I did the food order in two separate transactions. The first transaction went through, and she gave me a pager for when the food was ready (1x wings). I then paid for the second lot of food (1 x wings and potato tots) and was given a second pager, and the bar girl walked away. I then looked down at the 2nd pager she had given me and noticed it was falling apart and wasn't lit up at all. So I caught the bar lady's attention and asked her to confirm it was working. She looked at it said it was broken (then why did she give it to me!). And then said she would put both the orders on the first pager, and took the broken one off me. Later on when the pager went off I went to collect the food. They tried to give me a tray with a burger and 2 x loaded curly fries. I said that isn't mine and told them what I ordered. They said that for the first lot of wings ordered that there was an order ready the same that no one had collected and therfore they must be ours. And they said that the second lot of wings and tatter tots would be a 2 minute wait. There was no point in me going back upstairs to the pool room as by the time I got there it would be time to come back, being sat so far away, so I stood and waited for the rest of the food. Once I had the food I then returned to my friend and our seats upstairs. I was then followed by the same bar lady that gave me the broken pager, and messed up the order (lady in red dungarees and hair in plaits for halloween). She appeared with the tray i was originally offered with the burger and 2 x curly fries on it. She said these are yours too. We politely said no they aren't. She responded with 'you ordered in two transactions and you also ordered this'. Again I said I didn't not. I told her how much we had paid in the 2 x transactions which added up to the food that I had collected (2 x wings and tatter tots). But at this point it turned really weird. The bar lady got angry and raised her voice and basically shouted at me saying that we did order them, and who's are they if they arnt ours, whilst still shouting. It was so bizarre. Never have I been shouted at that in a hospitality environment before for someone else's error. She then stormed off and that was that. So strange. ( @ the joker I'm sure you can view it on the cctv of the pool room if you wanted to see this bizarre incident) Anyway we ate our wings, which were very tasty and made the most of the rest of our evening. But I won't be rushing back here again anytime soon, which is a shame as Ive always enjoyed it in the past.. Seems their staff need a little customer service training, as we did not appreciate the way we were treated.
