It is very dangerous that Orlando Meats is now just a few minutes away from me. But also wow, so blessed. For breakfast, you gotta go with the Egg Meatmuffin. Look at that beautiful egg fold and crispy bacon. It's got delicious garlic aioli and sliced cheddar on a szechuan bun. Need I say more? I've ordered the Korean Dogs one too many times but have never taken a picture. They're my weakness. They come with curly fries and mustard on the side. The chicken wings are also delicious. I am a weakling when it comes to spice so my lips were a little tingly but I got some housemade ranch and that helped with the heat. Love their curly fries so much and there is always plenty to eat and let others try. I have yet to purchase anything on the butchery side of things but I hopefully will soon!

This place is one of my favorite spots in orlando. It doubles as a butcher shop too where you can get a variety of meats at a great price. Whether you are going for breakfast, lunch or dinner; they never drop the ball. They have everything from custom pizzas to ramen to pork Katsu sandwiches as well as one of Orlando's best burgers. I would highly recommend checking this spot out for amazing food.

This place is amazing! The photos don't do it justice. The BEST fried chicken and BEST curly fries in Orlando. Sheesh. Soooo fire. Plus I was so happy to learn that they source their meats locally from grass fed & pasture raised farms!! And the prices are very reasonable. Can't get any better than this!!!

This has got to be, considering the -what I'm now thinking to be ignorant- reviews, one of the greatest disappointments I've experienced in Orlando so far. The menu looks great! I love Udon, and who doesn't like a good cheeseburger? However, ... either the cook (I can't call them a chef, but I'd be okay with dishwasher) doesn't have a palate, smokes way too many cigarettes, or, simply, doesn't taste their food before injuring their customers. What we got was inedible due to the heavy handed, clumsy, unconscionable, irresponsible, and inept use of spices, and salt. INEDIBLE. You can't fix too much salt except to put it in the bin. If it wasn't too salty it was too bitter. It tasted like whatever culinary school drop-out was working that day forgot they had already seasoned everything and gave us a double dose! But let's take it one by one: The Pork Belly Lo Mein. The Pork Belly was uneven. One piece was well-done, the next was a rare piece of pork. Let me repeat that ... A RARE PIECE OF PORK. The Lo Mein was treated with whatever shellac they want to call spices and I stopped eating it. I didn't even consider giving it to my Labrador -who's eaten rocks before! The steak and brie (18$) was so salty it ruined everything! If you pride yourself on your meat don't waste it by being stupid enough to think salt solves everything. I mean SALT SALT SALT SALT SALT. I hated the very thing I want to like the most! The taco-taco ... unremarkable. Except for the overpowering bitter spicing. The slaw ... 3$ for a small cup of, again, mysteriously spiced, cabbage. Not worth it. Don't do it. Bacon side? 3$ for what, like my son said, Grandma or mom can do better. Not worth it. Don't do it. The Egg MeatMuffin with bacon seemed to work out fine. My 11-year old son scarfed that item down. Which brings us to the largest disaster. The Medium Rare Burger. Yeah, I get it. Meat is best server medium rare. Got it. It's also best served WITHOUT SO MUCH G'Dmd SALT THAT YOU CAN ENJOY THE MEAT! If you have anything close to a discerning palate. Or have been advised by your doctor to cut down on salt STAY AWAY.

So Impressed by this upscale butcher shop. Orlando Meats was something I wasn't expecting. Here there is gourmet food at great prices paired with craft beer, wine or spirits. And they also sell their meat. We had the usual suspects here: street Tacos, decent. Steak and Brie sandwich, Amazing. Pork Belly Lo mein, soooo good. Medium Rare Burger, delicious. They have good portions here so come hungry. The service was good. The venue itself is kinda commercial, the cartoons on the wall reminded me of Chick Filet. Still the food was so really good

Maybe odd for a vegan to be writing a glowing review for a place called "Orlando Meats" but here's my experience: My little sister had an event here for her wedding. I was a little concerned about finding something to eat for me and my daughter but I was told that the chef would throw something together for us. Three separate noodle/vegetable dishes were brought out for my vegan daughter, my other sister and me, and each were filling and flavorful. Really high-quality. At a lot of these sort of organized events vegans get served something insulting like a pile of burger toppings called a salad, or nothing at all, so I just want to express my appreciation for the professionalism of this establishment. If you ever want to open a place called "Orlando vegetables" you could do well!

Let me be clear, the service was prompt and friendly, and i'm digging the decor in the new location. However, although they had a few interesting choices in the standing freezers, it seems to me like they have far fewer offerings than the previous location did. There's no real market or true butcher feel to it. It feels more like a café that decided to put some butcher cases in as well. I expected it to be a high-end butcher shop on steroids. More like it used to be. More like Petty's meat market... I had the medium rare burger. it has been written about in a lot of the Orlando foodie forums. I thought it was OK. The flavor was good, and the cook temperature was perfect medium rare. But I had more than one bite with a sizable amount of gristle that I had to remove from my mouth. The fries that it came with were not seasoned much, but at least they were crispy. I have very mixed feelings about this visit. I really think they need to take the butcher shop up several notches. I should be wow-ed (visually) when I come in...

What a nice hidden gem located Close by to where we live in winter park. A fully serviced butcher which also provides breakfast and lunch menu options. The first thing on the menu that caught my eye was the medium rare burger. It came with a generous side of fries. The burger itself was one of the juiciest burgers I have had. Although it is a little bit on the saltier side then I would normally prefer. Definitely a meal that will up the calories for the day! I love the Asian fusion in the meals and especially the pork belly lo mein. The belly was thick.. and juicy.. and crispy! Plenty of cilantro.. not sure that's really needed in the dish to that extent and the kimchi stew that it was bathed in was definitely spicy and had a bit of a kick to it. Will definitely be back to try the other noodle options.

This is a add onto your restaurant rotation! I had the Fried Pork Sandwich. It was absolutely delicious and would order it again. My partner had the Spicy Fried Chicken Udon. He said it was super tasty and it had a great spice level. (Honestly, they were both delightfully Spicy.) Nice selection of beers and non-alcohol drink options. Randomly they have "dog food" made from people food to take home to your fur babies. The folks working were friendly w/o wanting to be your best friend. We WILL be back! (Btw, I have zero affiliation with the owners or anyone that works at this place. We just eat out a lot)

Dear Orlando,Get yourself to Orlando Meats! This is easily one of Orlando's best restaurants. Yes... the burger is outstanding. But have you tried their hand-made noodles? Sandwiches? Pizza? Breakfast? The creative geniuses behind all their meals put their own unique spin on everything. The portions are very generous. This restaurant is serving chef-driven meals, in a casual dining experience.The butcher is great quality and very reasonable prices. I've bought their bone broth, sausages, local eggs, different cuts of meat, and everything is great.Warning: Once you try Orlando Meats, you will be hooked!
I always enjoy the food here. I bought my usual, the medium rare burger, only I get mine medium well, and the secret is in the sauce, trust me. I also tried the green salad, which was fresh and tasty, I enjoyed it without the dressing. Today I tried the Korean dog for the 1st time, very different, it was very delicious ?. Let's just say you won't be disappointed, trust.

NOODS! I got the jigsaw and my husband had the goblin noodles. The jigsaw were an amazing umami delight. The noodles have the best texture. The goblin noodles were the spiciest thing my husband has ever had. And this dude loves spicy. So try at your own risk. Still delicious though. The Korean hot dogs were an added bonus that you don't want to miss.

Came here after Mikey Chen reviewed it! And it did not disappoint. I had the spicy fried chicken noodles, pork belly pizza and the medium rare burger. Love the spicy noodles the best!

A wonderful place to both shop and eat, with delicious (and spicy) menu items like the Goblin Spicy Noodle shown on photo; as well as a decently assorted variety of drinks.Found this by following other local foodie people and was not disappointed. I will definitely be coming back and trying more of their menu, as well as shopping for meats to prepare at home

Medium Rare Burger was nice but no sides for $14. Dragons Breath noodles were bland and fat on the pork was quite gamey and a bit unpleasant. Also very spicy. Probably to rinds were good but not so much different from ones you get from store. Restaurant was empty at dinner so seating was nice. We left a tip which pushed meal close to $50 but server at register only delivered food. No one asked us about our experience.
