The Meating Ground - Fremantle

Horrible service is an understatement. Food is not bad but average at best. Forgot our order (also our friend's table).. said they'd come drinks, tried to add drinks we didn't order. I had to get up and walk to the kitchen area after 20-30mins trying for attention to order another cocktail. Cocktails were all really nice and made well. Will never return.

We had an amazing time. And the happy hour they do is great value for money. Would definitely go back again. Great place for date night.

The Food was amazing, but for what you get and what you pay its a tad overpriced. Also, the table set up is horrendous. Especially being tapas, there is not enough room at a table for all the food and drinks. There was four of us and we were put on a table which was squished up against other patrons to the point every time someone wanted to get out we would have to get off our stools. We were also squished right up against the bar/till. It was so cramped and the music was so loud, it was a little off putting and hard to really enjoy ourselves.

A long wait to be seated but good food and cocktails! The cocktails are good value and very unique delicious ones like Oreo cocktail. Kind of expensive but they have good specials.

Good service, good food but the menu and amount of meatballs you get is different to what it says online! Lemon cheesecake and espresso martinis were fab!

Great service, friendly waitress explained how the $39 Sunday night deal worked. Plenty of tasty meatballs delivered to our table. Loved the variety. Only letdown for the nigh was the Reece's chocolate peanut butter cannoli for dessert - it was served really cold straight out of fridge and was rock hard!! Sorbet was yum tho!! Would return!!

Great food. Very busy so impacted slightly on table service. Overall was a good place and would love to go back again. Make sure you make a booking.

Some of the meatballs were cold and my friend had a peanut allergy which the resterant was not very helpful with, they said they would not put peanuts in the plates but the plates were covered in peanuts

I was soooo disappointed. I was really looking forward to it after all the reviews I read. Probably should be renamed the Croquette bar! Everything was deep fried and crumbed! 😩

Restaurant was nice. Main meal seemed small but so mouth watering. Next time I'll get a massive platter to share to try all balls. Little slow on the drink service.

Amazing food, drinks and customer service! The food was that good, we ordered more! Will definitely be coming back & tell all my friends about this place as well!

Staff were very rude and only got a meatball and a half every 25mins wouldn't say it was all you could eat, everyone was still hungry and they should let you know how long you have to sit to get one of each of the 6 balls.

The food was well presented and tasted Great. I found that the service was excellent! The restaurant is beautifully presented and nice and clean. I would like to try the extensive cocktail list next visit.

Amazing food, loud/small building, good location, great for a meal and or drinks out with friends, wouldn't recommend for a date, hard to hear each other

Food and drinks were good. Atmosphere was very pleasant. We found the service a little bit slow. But overall a good experience. Would go again!

Awesome value for money (All you can eat meatballs, complimentary drink & dessert for $39pp. Food was delicious and so were the mojitos. The only let down was the service though they were understaffed, if that was fixed I'd give it a 6/6.

Fantastic service and the meatballs were really good! Liked the option of the buffet menu and the variety of meatballs is great. Lovely sorbet for dessert. Good value for money. Would go back again and definitely recommend. Good location in Fremantle too.

Great service slightly disorganized. They also do not make it clear when booking that you only have the table for a set amount of time before its booked for the next customer s. Should fix door to toilet always banging always open very draughty However food and drinks excellent although the mains are slightly over priced

Staff were efficient and friendly with their service. Food was great just a few of the dishes were quite bland but the ones with sauce were fantastic. Cocktails!! Are a must!!

Lovely food, very good service, but expensive unless you go between 5-6pm Two for one! Cocktails were delicious. Make sure you book though.... busy place!

well presented meatballs in the all you can eat selection but when came to taste meatballs very bland, mushroom were a hit though and awesome cocktail list

Was flawless. Loved it. Can't wait to go back. Lots of variety and options. And service was prompt and thorough. Overall a great experience was had.

Loved the atmosphere and the food was brilliant, really good to see you can split bill if you need to. The plates were a good size and substantial for two of us.

Service got quite slow as it got busier and parts of some dishes were stale and seemed like they were pre-prepared to early. Bar chairs aren't very comfortable. If sat outside you share a bench table with strangers and can be awkward.

All you can eat special for $39, including drink and dessert is well worth it! The deep fried Oreos are super yummy and the lemoncello sorbet is a nice refreshing finish.

The overall experience was really good. We did the all you can eat which was definitely a mistake and we had to end the round before the second round occurred. We didn't have to wait long before each course was served and the food was definitely worth the money. They have a lot of deals and special for each day which is also good. The drinks and deserts are also amazing. If only we had more room to finish. I just wonder about the food wastage generated particularly with the all you can eat.

great drinks and food. The service was delayed which did make some of the food cold when arriving to our table however it has a great vibe and I assume will get better in time as time goes on. would come back especially for the espresso martini :-)

Unbelievable food experience. Each section of food was flavoursome and delicious. All the balls were so tasty. Great service. Definitely worth a visit to this restaurant.

Friendly staff, fast service and most importantly great food. Great selection of cocktails and drinks. Highly recommed the share menu for 2. 6 different meatballs to try and 4 sides.

Terrible service. Waited 45 minutes and hadn't even had drinks delivered to our table. Ended up walking out and going somewhere else. The staff told us they were struggling with staffing. 2 girls on the floor and 1 bar man. Very frustrating.

Our large group was accommodated well and looked after perfectly!!! The food was yum!!! Everyone loved it and the cocktails that we tried... we were impressed overall and will be back soon!

Visited on a Sunday and the special was so good for what you get including a drink and dessert, great service and amazing cocktails too! Will be back for sure!

I thought the meatballs were excellent. It would be nice to have a platter of various different kinds instead of the all you can eat. There were 4 of us and the meatballs came out too slowly in between courses and by the time we got to the end it was 3 hours later.... We would have been much happier with a selection platter.

food was cold,took to long for food to be served to us , after the first few dishes were served, ,they seem to have forgotten about us

Went for dinner and it was extremely busy so food service took some time. When the food arrived it was amazing. Quick drink service and very attendant staff

Amazing balls amazing place, service is excellent so kind and attentive. The food and drinks were outstanding we will defiantly be back again. Thank you guys

Fantastic venue with a cool vibe. Great tasting food, however I believe there needs to be more gluten free meatball options as there is one one option currently

Had to request water on the table after waiting 20 mins or so. Quite noisey, so hard to hear the convo across the table. The food was nice and the cocktail amazing! Good food, not so good service.

Restaurant was big and spacious, good atmosphere. Waitress wanted to take our orders with in 5 mins and when we asked for another 5 she took quite a while to come back. Food took a little while to come out but we were all quite hungry. Took about an hour between us arriving and receiving our food. Food was amazing though the wait could have been less

great experience Good food and drinks Did take a long time to get food though I think because it was a busy Thursday night We where very busy enjoying our cocktails so it didn't matter too much

the food was great - lots of variety and the portion sizes were good so that we could have a taste of a few meals good service pumping atmosphere

Great atmosphere, staff were extremely helpful basically an all round great night. Food was good and we are all looking forward to the full menu.

The food was really tasty and service was good. Cocktail was also delicious. I am looking forward to returning when the full menu is up possibly this week as it was still only limited as they had only just been open a week or two. It is a slick classy place which is ideal for get together with friends.

Came here for my birthday and for the all you can eat for $39. Safe to say that my family and myself rolled out of there and had such a good night!

Service was a little slow, they took over 30 mins to take our order but after that the service was great. Food was very tasty, will be going back!

The food and drinks were delicious. Cannot wait for the full menu to be available as we only had a small selection. Will definitely be back soon.

Nothing amazing, nothing poor - fairly average but fairly pricey. Their introductory / trial menu doesn't make me say I want to try their real menu

SECOND TIME AT THE MEATBALL BAR, THE FIRST TIME WAS THE LEEDERVILLE LOCATION. IM VERY HAPPY THEY HAVE OPENED IN FREMANTLE. VERY YUMMY FOOD & DRINKS. FRIENDLY & ACCOMMODATING SERVICE. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK & WILL RECOMMEND TO FAMILY & FRIENDS!

Fun setup with a modern, contemporary feel. We had the all you can eat so plenty of food. Most of the dishes were tasty and the service was great.

Delicious meatballs and waffle chips and a great price too as we had the $12 lunch special! I washed the meatballs down with a glass of bubbles and my husband enjoyed his favourite espresso martini. We will be back again soon.
