Lynn Meatland

Why does this place win awards? This place is the worst place to eat in Lynn. Chicken pie was the worst I have ever tasted. Sandwiches were Awful. Honestly only tried it a couple times but that was not even remotely enjoyable. Maybe you could have a better plate of food than I did but I doubt it very much.

I wanted to get some prime rib for my mother for mother’s day, and this is the first place I thought of. I purchased over a pound of quality boneless ribeye for about 10 dollars. I got a taste after I cooked it for her and it was delicious. The meat had just enough fat but not too much fat. There was a nice, fresh succulent red color to it before I cooked it and it still had a lot of delicious juice to it after I cooked it between medium rare and medium. It was a nice thick cut too and it makes a great meal with salad. This is the place to go for quality meat and barbecue at affordable prices.

I’ve tried Meatland twice recently and both times have been disappointed to say the least.
The first time all I ordered was a chicken parm sub. The first word that comes to mind is YUCK. The chicken was extremely fatty and not cooked all the way through. The bread was so soggy I could have rung it out in the sink.
Then more recently, I went with a friend. I ordered the cheeseburger and he got an italian sub (with everything). My cheeseburger should have still been on the farm, as it was still moo-​ing from below the bun. The lettuce was wilted, and onion was like a slab on a sandwich. His italian sub was just ok. I mean how can you screw up an Italian sub, right? WRONG!!! We asked for hot peppers and got banana peppers instead. We asked for mayo instead of oil and we got both.
The young man that works the register really needs some lessons in customer relations. He’s kinda rude and a little bit pushy.
This is nothing like the Meatland that we all knew and loved.

Been going to Lynn Meatland for half a century…
There was a time that the guy in the white coat would take your order and carve it on the spot. Those days are gone. Cuts of meat are prepared, wrapped up and set in a display case. There are freezers with boxes of beef patties and such, plus the occasional prepared dish.
Since I can remember there have been those Pink Hostess Snowballs…
And of later decades sub sandwiches. Fresh, tasty, plentiful and filling.

We’ve been ordering from Meatland for about a year now and everything has always been delicious. We’ve had the pizza, chicken parm sandwich, eggplant parm sandwich, chicken tips sandwich and everything is great! The buffalo chicken pizza is one of our favorites.

Great take out — hot sandwiches, rice bowls and more. Also a great local butcher shop to visit for marinated turkey tips or a ribeye. Check Meatland out!

Really great subs at a really great price. I prefer this place over subway anyday!

I am addicted to this place. A five minute walk from my house? check. Amazing, fresh deli meat and ingredients? check. Best steak and cheese my tastebuds have ever had the pleasure of eating? check. Apply last sentence towards their Italian sub too? chizzeck.
Wait, it gets better. They also have delicious salads (chef salad is my personal favorite), stir fry rice bowls complete with your choice of flavoring and meat and yummy steamed veggies. Now they even have calzones and pizza!
Because I don’t feel like typing everything I’ve demolished from their menu, and i KNOW you are curious, check out their website www. lynnmeatland, net
This place stole my husband and I from going to any other sub shop, and this is a MEAT market!
The only time we stray away from this meat mecca is when he wants a roast beef 3-​way. If meatland added this to their menu, we might as well move in because as much as we try we just can’t get into the habit of cooking dinner for ourselves.
if you love yourself, and you love food, go here. now.
oh! and even more recently, as in a few days ago, they painted it bright yellow, so you cannot miss it.

Absolutely great quality, they love what they do & really know everything about meats. This is a great, classic meat shop.
I haven’t tried the sandwiches, but the prepared foods are great. In a time when the old-​fashioned butcher shop is going out of style, you can still get that kind of personal service here.

Sit down, reader. Get cozy around the computer screen as I whisk you away on a meat-​filled adventure, complete with mayo-​laden side salads and bags of potato chips.
Sounds fun, right? And it is, sort of, but for the most part, this sub shop/​deli is just «pretty good.» I think I’ve tried about five different subs from this place, and they’ve all earned the same «pretty good» rating, barring some minor deviations. Because most of the people that go into this restaurant probably couldn’t spell Unilocal (it’s totally cool, I’ve lived in the «bad part» of this city for, like, two decades), I’m just here to set the record straight.
I actually had a woman come up to my friend and I on a particular visit, and tell us about how the chicken salad we were readying to purchase looked «dry,» following an inspection. Lady, are you serious? She even had her husband chime in, and boy did he agree. Turns out, they were half-​right (psycho-​somatic-​self-​fulfilling-​prophecy?), but commenting on my food was 100% wrong. I wish those two well.
Back to the point. This place sells meats (deli and cuts), so many diverse subs, chips, drinks, salads and the Lynn Daily Item, in case you wanted to read up about crimes and violence from days past (Me: 2, Lynn: 0). So what’s my gripe with Meatland? I don’t think anybody here knows how to make a sandwich. All of the ingredients seem fresh — the bread, too — but there is something lost in the sandwich-​making. The meat-​to-​bread ratio could use some tinkering. They could throw some more ingredients in there. Whatever it is, it’s just not jiving. The prices are reasonable at about $ 10 for a sub, chips and drink. The people who work there are decent. The dude with the tribal tattoo on his arm could learn how to build some superficial rapport with customers. Other dude, who I presume to be the owner, is pretty cool.
So go here. Or don’t. You can’t go wrong either way.
And that, as they say, is a wrap.
