At Meat City of Linden, located at 240 E Saint Georges Ave, Linden, NJ 07036, the menu is a carnivore’s dream crafted with bold, unapologetic flavors. The spotlight shines brightest on their Grilled Lamb Chops, which are seasoned to perfection, tender, and served with a smoky char that lingers on the palate. Their Smoked Brisket Sandwich stands out with juicy layers of slow-cooked beef, stacked high on fresh bread with a tangy, house-made BBQ sauce that delivers a rich, savory punch.
The menu also features the ever-popular Meat City Burger, a hefty creation built with a thick, handcrafted beef patty, melted cheddar, crispy bacon, and a secret sauce that elevates it far beyond your average burger joint offering. For fans of southern-style comfort, the Fried Chicken Wings are a must-try — golden, crispy skin on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, available in various sauces from classic buffalo to sweet honey garlic.
A notable surprise is the inclusion of Oxtail Stew, a dish that brings soul food warmth to the table, slow-braised until the meat falls off the bone and infused with aromatic herbs. The Loaded Mac & Cheese also earns its place, creamy and decadent, topped with bacon crumbles and a golden baked crust that adds just the right crunch.
Sides like Sweet Plantains, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Collard Greens give diners a complete, satisfying experience, pairing beautifully with the robust mains. And for those with a serious appetite, the Mixed Meat Platter — a feast featuring ribs, sausage, brisket, and chicken — allows you to sample a bit of everything that defines Meat City’s meaty excellence.
Each dish is presented with hearty generosity, clearly aimed at delivering both flavor and satisfaction. The focus remains unapologetically on meat, with every bite offering a depth of taste that feels crafted for those who truly appreciate grilled and slow-cooked traditions.
