Meat At O’Neills

Very cozy place.
Owners are so friendly and the decoration is very authentic.
I had the brisket sandwich and my spouse had the bratwurst with sauerkraut .
Both very delicious and well prepared .
Also we had 4 beer pepperoni, such a great taste and size.
The draft beer they offer is so delicious.
Yummy!!! We have to go back soon.
Owners also speak Spanish and it is so nice to socialize with them both.
Menu is very attractive and sandwich size very generous.
Price very affordable.
Looking forward to go back for another treat .

I stopped in as I saw they had recently opened and had a PROPER fried egg and sausage butty! An ex-pat’s dream, I would definitely recommend their breakfast menu to any Brit missing home. I have yet to try for lunch but looking forward to it. They were so friendly and approachable and they have put a great deal of effort into renovating the space and paying homage to the history of the street and building. Also they had football on the TV so I think my husband will love it too!

First time here and so glad I stopped. I had the Mexican meatloaf sandwich which is to die for good. The meatloaf is amazing as is the bread. The café itself is well designed and the owners are wonderful. A must try on Lower Lonsdale!

Only their second day open, but we have been walking by excited for days in anticipation. We finally got a chance today to sit down and grab lunch.
I’ve been jaded by the so-​called upscale sandwich shops out there (see my review of meat & bread) so I came with a glimmer of hope but some doubts.
For a shop that’s only a day old and still ironing out technical and kitchen issues these folks can make some meat. My partners and I shared the beef brisket with red wine sauce, the spicy Mexican meatloaf with spicy tomato sauce and provolone cheese, and the grilled cheese with gruyère, red Leicester, and fontina.
The spicy meat loaf was crispy on the outside and oh so flavourful on the inside. Maybe the best meatloaf I have ever had. Topped with the spicy tomato and provolone in a toasted Turkish bun it really solidified O’Neill as a meat man.
The beef brisket had lots of flavour, but lacked the Red wine sauce, but with a little spicy tomato sauce it was still a great sandwich.
The grilled cheese was on some great seed bread and the cheese combo was a great flavour, but could have used a little more browning. Still very good though.
I’m really looking forward to when they have their yummy soup selection available that they mention on their website. A gourmet soup and sandwich would be perfect!
For 8.50 a sandwich (albeit with no sides) this place beats Windsor meats in edgemont’s sandwich biz and so many others. I look forward to more sandwiches!
