First time trying, very warm welcome who explained the set up..... spoilt for choice....I had the Turkish inspired dish whilst my wife had the Texas Dirty Chilli Box.... complete different taste to our other choices in restaurants. Overall a great experience and lovely owners. Come and try
Had such a great time at Meatballs Restaurant today! I tried the vegetarian meatball wrap and it was super tasty, fresh, and filling. The place has such a cool vibe too, each wall is decorated like a different country, which makes it really fun and unique. Friendly staff, quick service, and everything felt clean. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend!
Absolutely First Class Experience ! No matter, whether like us you’ve driven past loads of times and keep meaning to pop in or it’s just somewhere new that you are looking for, this will absolutely make a wonderful night out for you. BYO - Bring your own - Want to bring a drink, go ahead. They have some alcoholic options and a license but fully support bring your own giving you all the options. The two owners are absolutely fantastic. They totally understand the importance of hospitality and dietary requirements varying from Vegan to Gluten Free. Things like the chips ONLY get cooked with chips, which is VERY rare. The food was lovely and the staff super friendly and helpful so definitely put this on your bucket list for Shrewsbury. We’re already looking forward to going back.
We had such a lovely experience here. Meatballs are excellent, highly recommend coleslaw! We hope to visit again!
My family and I had lunch here yesterday. What a nice suprise! The Meatball Shack in Shrewsbury is a family-run business, so don't expect it to feel like a typical chain restaurant. Here, the welcome is warm, the service is friendly and personal, there is a great choice of food catering to most dietary requirements, and it all tastes very good. This restaurant is kid-friendly and reasonably priced. All except for two of the sauces are vegan, so most of the dishes can be made with vegetarian meatballs which means that vegetarians can enjoy the same wide range of menu options as everyone else. The owners are happy to accommodate for all kinds of dietary needs and preferences wherever possible. The desserts were really good, too, and they even offer my favourite brand of ice cream. The customer toilet is accessible and is kept nice and clean. It is difficult to find fault with this place. At the time I wrote this, this place had mostly 5 star reviews, some 4 star (there are always the "I never give five stars" types) and a small handful of 3 star reviews all from people who ordered takeaway perhaps expecting it to compete with kebab shops typical big chain fast food outlets on portion sizes and price. In my opinion, this place is in a completely different league. As well as good caring service, great tasting food and a clean and friendly atmosphere, they provide a masterclass in how to run a quality family-friendly independent restaurant. It shows that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into what they do. It is both innovative and unpretentious, not an easy balance to achieve these days. If you're looking for a healthy, tasty meal in a comfortable kid-friendly setting that isn't Hungry Horse or Pizza Hut, then I can highly recommend the Meatball Shack to you.
Really tasty and creative menu. Friendly, warm staff and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Parking at the front of the restaurant. Recommended!!
I had a lovely experience at Meatballs Restaurant today! I went with the vegetarian meatball wrap and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, filling, and super fresh. It’s great to see vegetarian options done so well. The atmosphere of the place really stood out to me. It’s not just a restaurant; it feels like a cultural experience. Every wall is decorated to reflect a different country, which made the space vibrant, warm, and full of personality. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design and ambiance. The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and everything was clean and well-maintained. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to come back—not just for the food, but for the whole vibe. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good food and a unique dining atmosphere!
Came in on a Friday night, such a warm welcome! Shown to a table and then menu was explained clearly. Drinks can quickly and food was prompt…and it was so good! So simple and full of flavour. 100% recommend the Marry Me Meatballs. Definitely coming again and more often.
