First Time at Meat Moot Seattle? How Ordering by the Pound Works
Never ordered smoked meat by the pound? Here is exactly how a meal at Meat Moot Seattle works, how much to order per person and what comes with every cut.
Meat Moot doesn’t work like a typical sit-down restaurant, and that’s half the fun. There’s no plated entrée and no guessing what “a portion” means. You choose your meat, watch it weighed and carved, and share it at the table. Here’s what to expect on your first visit to our South Lake Union smokehouse.
1. Choose your cut at the carving counter
Every meat on the menu is halal and smoked in-house over wood. You can pick one cut or mix several:
- Beef Brisket — our signature, smoked for up to 16 hours
- Lamb Shank — rich, falling off the bone
- Lamb Shoulder and Lamb Neck — for those who love deep, marbled flavour
- Lamb Ribs and Beef Ribs — served by the rack
- Beef Shank — hearty, with a marrow-rich centre
2. Tell us how much you’d like
Prices are per pound, and you can order in any amount. As a rule of thumb:
| Appetite | Per person |
|---|---|
| Light lunch | ¼ – ½ lb |
| Regular dinner | ½ lb |
| Big appetite or tasting several cuts | ¾ lb |
Not sure? Our carvers do this all day. Tell them how many people are eating and they’ll help you build the board.
3. Watch it weighed and carved
Your meat is weighed in front of you and carved to order, so you see exactly what you’re paying for. Then the show begins. Our carvers finish each board with a few flourishes worth filming.
4. Sit down — everything else is included
Every pound arrives with unlimited house-made sauces (chimichurri, honey mustard, dynamite, BBQ, hot sauce, honey, mushroom and smoky green garlic), fresh salads and sides like Meat Moot Special Rice, mashed potato and mixed pickles, plus unlimited mineral water and soft drinks. No add-ons, no upsell.
Tip: come for weekday lunch
Monday to Friday, 12–3pm, you can get a ½ lb lamb shank or beef brisket for $23.99. It’s the easiest way to try Meat Moot on a lunch break from the South Lake Union offices.
