What to Eat at Meat Me There How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Meat Me There, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Caramelized onions Net +1
“Most importantly, the burgers are epic. The beef patties are tender and juicy (not thick and chunky) the house sauce is great and the best thing of all are the crispy fried onions and caramelized onions that you can add. The buns are sprinkled with sesame seeds and the fries are also SO tasty (crispy shoestring fries). They do an epic milkshake too 😉 as you can tell, I'm a big fan.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Try Paprika. If ordering fries, consider paprika fries; one recent review found them smoky and crisp while criticising the burger’s seasoning.
Check Parking. Allow time to look for parking; reviews mention street parking or Jumeirah Road when the nearby structure is full.
Visit Winter. Choose the outdoor tables in cooler weather for the marina setting; one review specifically described them as nice for winter days.
Order Inside. If dining outdoors, be prepared to go inside to order, as one review reported no table menus or QR codes.
Expect Choices. This is a focused burger stop rather than a broad menu: reviews describe regular, cheese and double burgers alongside three fry options.
Find The Spot. Look carefully for the entrance because one visitor found the restaurant hard to locate and said there were no signs.

Common Concerns
High Prices
Several diners felt the bill was high for the portion or quality, with one sandwich costing 65 AED before sides.
Inconsistent Fries
Fries range from smoky and crisp to oily, soggy or underwhelming, so they appear less reliable than the burgers.
Limited Menu
The menu is notably narrow: reviews describe only three burger choices and three potato options.
Parking Difficulty
Parking can be difficult around the waterfront, with one visitor needing to consider the street or Jumeirah Road.
Hot Dining Area
One diner reported inadequate air conditioning in the dining area and no apparent air conditioning in the kitchen.
Customer-reported prices
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Meat Me There is a compact burger stop in Jumeirah where the main appeal is the combination of beef burgers and a marina-side setting. You can order the Meat Me Burger, Juicy Double or a cheese burger, with regular, paprika or cheese-style fries. The outdoor seating looks towards boats and yachts, and some reviews mention views of the Burj Al Arab.
The food is notably inconsistent. Fans describe juicy patties, fresh bread, soft sesame buns and a distinctive sauce, while other diners found the burger ordinary, under-seasoned, too salty or not worth the price. Fries are similarly unpredictable: paprika fries and Chizu fries receive strong praise, but regular fries have also been called oily, soggy or disappointing.
This works better as a focused quick bite than a long meal. The menu is very small, portions can feel modest, and reported prices include 57 Dhs for a burger with caramelized onions and a Coke and 65 AED for a sandwich without sides. Parking may take patience, and outdoor seating is more appealing in cooler weather.
Check the entrance carefully, then ask about ordering inside if no menu is provided at the table.
