The Met Bar and Grill

Great burgers but superb sweet potatoes fries. I will definitely return and get a double order of sweet fries!

Sadly, this place has declined. We went for Father’s Day and it was about 25% full at dinner. It was freezing in there, we asked to turn down the AC and if they did, we sure didn’t notice. Burgers were very good. Salad with steak tips came with three measly pieces. Kale salad with shrimp was ok. We couldn’t wait to leave because of the temperature. No plans to go back. Lots of places have very good burgers for my kids.

A friend of mine and his girlfriend got sick after eating at that place. They most likely aren’t properly handling the food there (bare hands and all)

I’ve been there a few times and never had to wait for a table. There is an outdoor patio which is a nice place to sit on a summer night. They are known for their burgers and they are very tasty. You can build your own burger with any topping you could imagine. The chicken club sandwich is very tasty. Food is a little pricey but good quality.

I love Met Grill for its steady consistency, attractive locations, ambiance, the service and I can always find a good choice if Hamburgers, even very delicious hamburgers, are not for today!
Even a few years later, the salads are still very fresh, crunchy and loads of alternatives for dressing on up! The Staff is wonderful, make you feel very welcomed.
Excellant choice of wines and decadent desserts… there is a bar menu 4 to 6, ½ price …
Met Grill and Bar is a top choice for Natick and surrounds. And a top choice for me!

I’ve been to this place several times. My boyfriend and I like the burgers. The fries aren’t the best but the burgers are decent. What is terrible however, is their lemonade, and apparently their iced tea too. For homemade lemonade that’s almost $ 4 a cup I expected it to taste pretty decent. My lemonade tasted like I squeezed half a lemon in ice water — very diluted and not sweet. I asked for a new one only to be given a lemonade with carbonated water — didn’t solve the problem. Curiously, the two tables by us also complained to their waiter about their drinks. One had what looked like an iced tea and the other had a lemonade. Overall, considering the service (rather average), horrible lemonade, but good burger, I’ll give this place a 3-​star rating.

I’ll keep it short — very, very expensive food, diner quality. The guacamole was the one stand out, and it well should have been at $ 13. Came with a tiny serving of chips, and our group of 4 got halfway through the guac, didn’t touch the salsa and needed more chips. Add $ 2.
Burgers were good, but nothing special at all, and again pretty expensive. That said, beats the option of $ 24 rigatoni and meatballs!
Our server was great.

Holy cow this brunch was spectacular. The ambience is hip & trendy; it felt great for brunch with tons of natural light but you could imagine how it would also be great for dinner & drinks after the sun set.
I ordered a scramble (adaptations of their burgers – I’m a sucker for a signature gimmick): the Mexico, which came with guac, cilantro, and jalapeño. It was shockingly delicious, eggs cooked perfectly and obviously very fresh produce. It came with a side of homefries, which were very potato-​y (I’m picky!) and needed salt (but I guess that’s why it’s on the table?) but were cooked with caramelized onions which was an awesome twist. It also came with a biscuit side (meh) and bacon (which I didn’t eat — vegetarian here!). I also ordered a pancake on the side which was enormous, probably 8−9″ in diameter, and pretty tasty.
I’d read several reviews on here commenting that the prices were steep, and since the prices are not listed on their website I came in expecting something pretty high but was pleasantly surprised. My order felt like a smörgåsbord but clocked in at just $ 18 which included all the food above plus a hot tea — not too shabby if you ask me.
A concatenation of «the little things» kept me from pegging this at a 5:
— Never got a glass of water; this is something I like to take for granted and not have to ask for
— The side biscuit wasn’t warm and just came with butter, no jelly/​jam. The server (or kitchen?) had forgotten to include it when food first came out too, and I had to ask for it.
— The pancake was delightfully huge, but came with only like a tablespoon of syrup. It just wasn’t enough.
— The jalapenos in the scramble were seeded so they didn’t bring any spice to the dish. I’m a sucker for jalapenos mostly for their flavor, but the spice is still so much of their appeal!
— Bacon came as a side for the scramble but the menu (and the server) did not say that. As a vegetarian I had to push it to the side and wish I had an opportunity to ask for a substitute like fruit or toast.

A bright, cavernous space that is great for brunch. Prices are a little steep for the quality, but all in all solid offerings.
The brunch menu here is somewhat innovative — they lean heavily on their burgers, with a bazillion different combinations, all named for cities or countries, and the eggs menu is set up the same way, with the same flavor combinations. Kind of cool.
The burger itself is fan-frickin’-tastic, a little sloppy, but tasty all the same. The fries are superb — crisp and soft at the same time.
Our server was a complete no-​hoper, forgot stuff several times, and seemed… not the sharpest tool in the shed. Similar complaints about service from other reviews seem to indicate that this is the norm.
A great burger, at a not-​so-​great price, in a great location with not-​so-​great service. Three starts. A-​OK, I guess.

Severely disappointed with this location. I’ve been to MET Bar in natick and had a good experience so we decided to give the one in legacy place a try.
From the hosts to the server to the food, the entire experience was a waste of time and money. The hosts have very casual attire and seemed annoyed at doing their job. I will say we were seated within the allotted wait time which was nice. Now our server didn’t even smile or have any kind pleasant demeanor, she did her job and that was that. As for the food, my husband and I got food poisoning. Thanks MET Bar. We wasted $ 60 at this place.

Well we gave the Met Bar a second try after having had just an OK experience about a year ago. We went with a group and had a private roomThe servers were attentive however this is a restaurant and the food is truly sub par. Just awful. My husband ordered the brick chicken that was over cooked and burnt and I have the rice bowl… bland and uninteresting.
We left hungry and deaf !!1 The restaurant is so loud it is hard to enjoy your dinner guests. After arriving home my husband and I became very sick .,.which we attributed to the evening meal. We will never ever frequent this establishment again… Never

Food is delicious and fresh. Yummy appetizers, drinks & entrées. I ordered the brick chicken, delicious and hearty portions – I subbed the grits for a smashed sweet potato – was a good call – and worth ordering as a side — it’s crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside – they top it with coconut butter.
The guacamole is delicious and fresh – and a big enough portion for 3 – 4 to share.
Mac n Cheese is good – homemade and piping hot – even for the kids meal – the kids actually ate it – and it wasn’t junk.
They have lots of burger combinations – they all looked really nice. They used to have a kid’s or smaller portion filet – that I wish they kept on the menu.
I give it a thumbs up for being good value for money and nice space that we could bring our kids to, without having to listen to other people’s screaming, fussy kids (aka toddlers)!
Give this place a try instead of waiting an hour to get into Yard House – everyone with a kid under 3 is there — it’s like trying to have dinner in a mall play space.

The restaurant has swag! Our server started off well…
–We ordered calamari, bland without the sauce.
–Caesar salad, brown lettuce, barely any dressing.
–Waited on a refill, Iced T was returned in the same glass with my used lemon, if I used the lemon chances are I would again… Don’t give me my recycled lemon back.
–The burgers were cooked perfectly!
For the price I’d rather go to five guys. I thought the burgers were good but nothing made me want to return for a second visit.

This was just a good experience but nothing really blew me away service wise. The server was so monotone, seemingly unhappy and just stand offish, which was a huge turn off to the experience. Her greeting was so quiet and sheepish that I could barely hear her, and the restaurant was not even busy or loud.
My burger was cooked to perfection as was my boyfriends. We were both pleased with our choices. Other then the fact the the coleslaw did not have much dressing on it at all and really just felt like I was eating cabbage and carrots without any yummy dressing that I was looking for with my burger.
I would come back again for the burgers, hoping that maybe the next time I go the server has a little more energy to give to her guests.

Great burger bar with strong drinks? I’m in!
If you’re looking for a cheap greasy burger, this is not your place. Otherwise, your in for a treat. They have extensive options in burgers, which is great! You also have the option to customize your own, so if you’re feeling adventurous give it a try.
Portions are very filling service was great and ambiance is relaxing.

When a restaurant offers a $ 32 steak, you should expect it cooked to order. Four of us ordered the same steak, all medium rare. Not exactly a difficult order, though really, there is no other way to order a steak. Three were well done, so we sent them back. The fourth one was probably overcooked as well, but it was served to a very pregnant lady who needed meat in a hurry.
They re-​fired the steaks and this time they were served very, very rare. You know, cold and purplish-​red inside. At this point we were starving and tried to get through it, but it was just too raw. The third time was on the money, except my steak wasn’t seasoned as well as the burnt and raw ones before it.
The server was apologetic. The manager came out and apologized as well. She gave us dessert on the house. So we got free desserts and spent $ 128 on steaks that no one was happy with, except for the aforementioned mom-​to-​be, who just might have accepted a $ 32 McRib sandwich at that point.
Sorry, Met Bar. If you need three tries to get medium-​rare steaks right, you do two things: comp the entire meal and fire the incompetent chef.
I gave this an extra star because the server and the bartender were very good. Then I took off a star after I tweeted my disappointment and no one acknowledged it, even though they maintain an active Twitter account. Bad form.

Met Bar and Grill is an American restaurant near the main entrance of Legacy Place. Every Met Bar and Grill has a slight variation. In addition to the regular menu, this location has a variety of burgers. My friend and I had a snack at Met Bar and Grill. Our server made our dining experience a pleasurable one. It was surprisingly quiet during the afternoon of July 4^th. She ordered a Red Sangria and Milano Argula & Goat Cheese. I ordered Peach Bellissimo (which is basically a Peach Bellini with a slight twist) and Chicago Classic Caesar (which consisted of chopped romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan, and homemade croûton in a Caesar dressing). Both the drinks and salads were quite delicious.

I think this could be a 4-​star restaurant, but there were a couple major flaws with the meal last night that left a bad taste in my mouth, pun intended.
I went with a friend to catch up over dinner and drinks. Got a reservation on Open Table. I thought the décor and ambiance were great and it was a lively thirsty-​thursday atmosphere.
Our server was really friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. I thought the wine list was impressive with heavy-​hitters like Silver Oak and Caymus. Markups on bottles were 50%. While not a deal, it’s certainly better than the 200−300% you see in the Seaport. I also feel the need to say that on all of my Unilocal reviews haha.
I had a Grey Goose Martini which is my go-​to drink and has been for years. I find it odd that Grey Goose Martinis taste different wherever you go, which has always lead me to believe that bartenders fill their bottles with cheap stuff behind the scenes. I can honestly say this was the worst martini I’ve ever had in my life. I have not tasted vodka that harsh since my days of drinking Rubinoff in college. I couldn’t finish it. Minus 1 star there.
My friend had one of the rice bowls with salmon and it looked amazing. She liked it a lot. I had a burger with the works, ordered medium (I don’t like rare ground beef). It was almost raw. Minus 1 star there.
I think they have a good concept here, they just need to make some obvious customer experience refinements. The menus are cheap plastic and sticky, the drinks are $ 10+ but not good, and the food is just okay. But they have a great location, great wine list, and the servers appear to know what they’re doing.

I’m surprised by the recent low ratings of the Met’s Dedham location, but I have had so-​so reviews of places others have loved, so maybe others were here on an off day?
Stopped in today around 4:30 with a friend and went straight to the bar area where there were several people watching basketball (’tis the season for people ditching work for basketball and then baseball!!). We sat in the last available booth and the friendly bartender (blonde, long hair pulled back) was right over to take a drink order. I wish I got the bartender’s name, but I know from speaking with her that she previously worked at Joe’s in Braintree and is from Florida.
Drinks were great, came quickly, and when we needed a refill she was right there to ask (and bring another). Some of the apps are half-​price from 4−6PM and my friend said the chips and guacamole were excellent.

I’d honestly was very disappointed with my overall experience.
Was in the area and bf was hungry so took the chance to grab dinner here. First off the server was very odd and standoffish. Hi I’m xxxxx…5 seconds later we’re doing a stare off with her because she didn’t really say much. Another time after we got our main dishes — she walks right by me but then backs up and asks how’s our food and then walks back the same direction she came from. So did you want to talk to us? Things like that bother me as you can see because customer service is so impressionable esp when it’s our first time here.
The food was less then standard and while I enjoy the concept of the dishes incorporating different ingredients from other countries the food wasnt spectacular.
We had the Korean tacos and salmon&tuna tartare with taro chips. The korean tacos were probably the best. It’s two hard tacos with short ribs. The tartare was not fresh and fishy.
I got the Athens Burger now maybe I went with the wrong choice but it was messy and falling apart in my hands. I love flavor when it comes to my meats and this wasn’t so with their burgers. Topped with tzatziki sauce, hummus and a slab of feta on my burger — The ingredients didn’t really marry well with each other and the beef.
I think I can’t go with just a regular burger from 5 guys. Sorry Met bar
