Reviews of Meat at O'Neills (Butcher Shop)

ian widgery

Found this spot by accident and happy that I did. It was busy but Marten was friendly and timely. Would recommend it to anyone, except a vegetarian.... They may not be down with the delicious meaty dishes.

This is the best place to go if you want a real meat sandwich or the ALL DAY BREAKFAST. I go as often as I can.

Giuliano Cristófaro

Delicious sandwiches

Lauren Briggs

Sandwiches here are so good! Family owned, friendly, and great quality! Mexican meatloaf, pork loin, and brisket sandwiches were all just amazing :)

K

Amazing! Great food, great service, great beer. What else could you possibly want? Best discovery of 2020 so far! Will definitely be back and I'll be bringing friends.

Emilie Gratton

Best sandwich I've had, possibly ever. This sandwich shop is down to earth, delicious food made with a ton of love. The husband and wife team that own the place are just fantastic people. I was surprised by how comfortable and wonderful I felt speaking with them. 100% you have to try this place. Delicious! And absolutely amazing prices !

Rai singh Mann

My favourite spot for food, drinks, and good company in North Van. Great portion sizes, excellent ambiance, and it's run by two of the nicest people you'll meet.

T Gagnon

Absolutely love this gem of a place. Amazing freshly food with a home cooked feel. Owners always have a smile which makes you want to come back!

John T

For what it is, I give it 5 ????. It's a very small quant little shop providing light fare and a great place to meat (meet). Lol...see what I did there? Lol. Take a break from the big faceless pubs, and stop in here ...

Jay MacDonald

If your looking for an amazing sandwich and some great people this is the place for you!

Lilla Stobie

Sandwiches are so good! Nice selection of local craft beers! Great spot

Tony King

Friendly owners. Have a good conversation while you eat a good meal.

If I could give 10 stars I would. This place is a gem on the north shore. Ran by a husband and wife, you will feel at home the second you step in that place. Perfect spot for an afternoon beer, a sandwich (the pork one is my favorite) or just to hang out with fun, social, local people. It is the best pub in the GVA, not only because of the great service and food, but also because it's one of the rare spots in town where people actually talk to each other. If you are in the area, this is definitely a must stop. Cheers!

Mockie

Awesome food!

Brad Hext

Kept walking past this place not really knowing what it was, all that time we could have had delicious meaty sandwiches!!! Phoned in for a pork loin sandwich and a brisket sandwich today, picked up and ate out - TASTY! We will return for breakfast sandwich next.

Gustavo Arruda

Best breakfast sandwich in all of Vancouver! No frills, just high quality ingredients. The vibe is so welcoming and comforting, feels like you're eating with your family. Good selection of North Vancouver's breweries. 6/5 would do again.

Heather McAlpine

Love this place and it feels like home

Caleb Lee

Fantastic little shop. Sandwiches are amazing!

Marlise Grobler

Great pulled pork sandwiches! The place is family operated and the O'Neills are very friendly.

R H

Super casual atmosphere with fantastic food and excellent beer at a reasonable price. I've tried everything on the menu and have enjoyed it all. Worth the trip.

LOUIS APPLE

Beef brisket sandwich

Shaun Finn

Continually the best, most friendly service in town, doesn't hurt it comes with the best sandwiches in North Vancouver.

Andrey Izvekov

Owners are very friendly and have great accents. Just great quality food from your local mom and pop shop.

William Smith

Very friendly staff and awesome sandwich's

Emilie St. Pierre

Fantastic service and food! Very warm and welcoming. The kinda local spot you would want to support. Stop in and have a sandwich or just to say hello. Can't wait to go back..

Dale Wentland

Such great food, and a pleasant place to sit for a pint and a sandwich. I’d be there every day if I lived up the street still, and now it is a treat when I am in the neighborhood for a visit.

Spencer R

Such a lovely and rare place. Enjoyed being there earlier this morning.

Lisa W

The best breakfast sandwich on the north shore. Wonderful people.

Raymond Jamieson

Always great lunches, never been for dinner but imagine it's also fantastic!

Kevin McPhail

Friendly staff and atmoshphere. Great food. We'll be back. ????

Elena Machneva

I've never been in a more friendly environment. The food was fantastic. The owner does a weekly rotating special that sells out fast. My wife managed to get a special whilst I had an all-day breakfast sandwich, which I could easily have had two of it was that good. This place tries to break the traditional norms of a Canadian bar and does so with ease. If you want a friendly atmosphere where everybody knows your me, then Cheers! You found it here

Rob Martin

Delicious home style food, cozy atmosphere and amazing service!

80 Roett

Different than typical. Very good. Keep on keeping on. Good for you , best of luck.

Vitalisa Mikolajczak

Amazing small local business! Amazingly friendly owners and absolutely delicious food! Went in for a pint and a sandwich, and my only regret was that I haven't been in before!

John Oliver

Nicolas Negahban

Amazing has always!

Patrick Behm

Get the meatloaf!

Marcus Timms

Awesome food, beer, and even better people!!!

Nathan Woods

Seriously, it's the "Cheers Pub" of North Van. This place is great. It was my first visit today and it felt like I was being welcomed home. The service is awesome and the food was top notch. We had the pulled pork and meatloaf sandwiches which were killer. Highly recommend the meatloaf sandwich! Would come back any day.

Paul Blake

Pro: great sandwiches, fair prices, great service and plenty of parking Con: the shop is a bit small and during lunchtime, it's gonna be tuff to get a sit.

Mark H

Evy van Nobelen

Don't bother with this place. Over Priced greasy food, and don't order anything if your hungry and in a hurry. It takes FOREVER !!!!! This place is a hard PASS!!!

Brittany Wong

The best little sandwich shop on the north shore! The meatloaf is out of this world

Quaint hole in the wall that serves yummy sandwiches and cold beers.

Andrew Ede

Very tasty breakfast sandwich and extremely friendly and welcoming owners. It reminded me of my time spent in the UK. Will definitely be back.

James Robinson

Hands down my go to place on Saturday mornings! The most delicious breakfast sandwich!!!!!! Sherry and Martin are so lovely and know how to give exceptional customer service. A must try while in the Lower Lonsdale area.

Kimble Mooney

Wonderful people and delicious food.

Joane Duchesne

Amazing food so great ! Yummm ????

Sujil S

Wow, amazing sandwich.

Amin Sameni

Good beer, good people :)

Celeste

I don't know why they ignored us. It was either (1) We came in right as they were opening and weren't happy about that or (2) because we aren't white. Did a staycation in Lonsdale and saw that this restaurant had great reviews for breakfast. Came in when they opened. My partner asked if they were open. No one responded. No one greeted us (there were atleast 3-5 people INCLUDING a lady who came into the restaurant to which they greeted). Everyone had no masks on and was watching TV. We stood there awkwardly for a moment and left. Truly unwelcoming and unpleasant.

Daren T

Great place!

Ray Miller

Uuuuuum....ridiculous!! Probably the up there with the next sandwich I have eaten. Even if the owners were horrible ( they aren’t they are lovely) I’d be here daily. So good

Jake Marston

Consistently great sandwiches + friendly owners

Adam Bitingdog

Breakfast sandwich and sandwich shop.

Anton North

The sandwiches are delicious!

Brent Bennett

Friendliest place on Lower Lonsdale ❤️

Andrew Irwin

Did Take Away today ...ordered a Breakfast Sandwich with the works ...AMAZING! It was a perfect sandwich with excellent Social Distancing Service, just what I needed in these crazy times. THANK YOU!!

Lindsay Marie

Brilliant sandwiches, and somehow matched with incomparably kind customer service

Terence Snijtsheuvel

The best place in North van I love it. It's my favourite!!!

Chris T

Always a fun place...Martin and Sheri are super nice...walking down lonsdale is a treat now because you can smell the chefs cooking on the sidewalk....so hard to just walk by

Kyle Cielo

As someone who mainly eats sandwiches/subs/breakfast sandwiches from subway/McDonalds this was a great realization at how garbage those places are compared to the care of a family business! Sandwich was 10/10

Harrison Bolin

This Little establishment is simply the best ! It exemplifies all the reasons why you'd support community businesses. The brisket sandwich sits in a category unto itself, it's so good it should be listed as an addictive substance

Rachelle Divina

Neighbourhood Gem - We just moved into the neighbourhood a few weeks ago and decided to wander to find a place for lunch. We stopped in and I know we will become regulars. Shari and Martin were absolutely delightful, and the sandwiches were fabulous. Can't wait to go back, again and again. Thanks Shari and Martin for being so welcoming

Bear Flett

Unique atmosphere where the owners know your name by the end of your time in there. Homely feel for those looking to have a chat, a pint and sambo! Get in there and have a chat with Sharry!

Matthew Desfosses

Great people. Great food. Love this place! Can't recommend highly enough.

Eric G

Amazing sandwiches, great atmosphere and decor. Lovely little spot!!

Pe Le

A friendly and cozy place to spend an evening, with great food and decent choice of beers. Staff are excellent!

Neil Gnyp

Shari and Martin are always inviting. Love the neighborhood feel. We enjoy their soups, breakfast buns and of course we enjoy the time we spend with them. They have many regulars for a reason :)

Melize Dey

Food and atmosphere are good. However my brisket sandwich had very little meat. Maybe I should have gone for the meatloaf. The guy behind the counter was friendly. Overall I can say I will 100% be returning, especially since I love supporting the little guy.

Laura Gardiner

Amazing local place with outstanding food and great beer selection!

Christopher Brown

Awesome service and food.

Kristian Lloyd

Awesome sandwiches and friendly service.

J. Cheung

I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend of mine who himself found it fortuitously. The owners, Shari and Martin, are exceptionally sweet and down-to-earth people--very customer-service oriented, too. My friend told me his favorite sandwich there was the Fraser Valley pork loin sandwich, so I made it a point to order that. The sandwich did not disappoint; it was juicy, and the flavors of the spicy mayo aioli and caramelized onion jam were so distinct. Loved the chewy texture of the toasted Turkish bun, too. I noticed a little sign on the wall saying "Customer of the Week" or something similar; the guy featured in the picture ended up sitting next to me toward the end of my meal. ;) Thanks again, Shari and Martin, for the welcoming food and atmosphere!

Clayton Inglis

There's meat and there's the real stuff! Meat at O'Neils offers the best on the Northshore. Beautiful decor and delicious authentic food. Service is friendly, welcoming and really good... Everytime. A perfect place for food anytime of the day. Go try and discover yourself... and yes, in advance, Your Welcome :)

Matt Walmsley

Brilliant gumbo. Great service. Amazing atmosphere!

Kathy Gregson

Best spot in North Van. Not only the sandwiches are super tasty, but the overall experience is perfect. The two owners are friendly and welcoming. First time we went there we already felt like family. Best spot to enjoy a local beer and meet with very friendly regular customers. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place where they can be themselves.

Brandon Fong

This is honestly quite possibly the most charming run restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. It’s run by the husband and wife Duo that really take service and pride in what they do. I got the beef brisket sandwich which was the perfect size since I didn’t want to fill up too much. It was tasty and delicious. I want to come back for breakfast sandwich Next time

Matt Broad

Good sandwich!

Maximilian Zeidler

Every bite of the meatloaf sandwich is like a trip to haven!

Spencer Pooghkay

My favourite sandwich spot in town. Friendly owners are the highlight of this place, closely followed by the delicious food. Sneak in on Thursday and Friday nights for a pint and slow roasted curry special.

Dave Steele

Highly recommend this LOCAL restaurant run by a really friendly family. The spot has a quaint, warm community vibe which is rare to find these days and I’m pretty sure they serve beer too! I noticed they had proper Covid measures in place even though I got my order to go and only waited a couple minutes. The brisket was delicious and I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu. My new go to place!!

PERCY COMMODORE

Rustic, comfortable and friendly. And the home cooked food is really something else.

Kerri McNicol

Great place to get some delicious sandwiches! Support local businesses and help make sure they survive Covid restrictions. Highly recommend!

Joseph Salazar

Cool little sandwich bar, with lovely atmosphere and owners. cool customers and a nice place to relax, chat and enjoy some good food and drink! Go raibh mhile maith agat! :) ☘️

Jonathan Staring

Lower Lonsdale’s hidden gem. Cozy small place run by a very nice couple. Sandwiches are amazing with a very reasonable price. They prepare everything from scratch. The atmosphere is also cool.

Neil Ryan

Locally sourced menu, by a family that lives in the community. They contribute as a social pillar of the neighbourhood by providing a social hub for many. An outlet for musicians to to perform and a setting unlike the typical "chain driven" eateries that we are forced to endure. A true, local gem.

Summit1066

I have gone here every Saturday to get a sandwich with a beer sausage. The people are very nice and they always have a game on. Extremely polite people and a mom and pop style place.

Angad Kalra

Brilliant little establishment! Highly recommend

Erin P.

Great Sandwiches (especially the meatloaf) and beautiful customer service. I eat from here at least once a week. Thoroughly recommend!

Chris S

Take out

corey woodcock

Awesome food and very friendly

Shane Yu

5 stars as always. Lovely people and great sandwiches !

Ray Jamieson

Lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed myself

Devon Warren

You will never find a better, more charming mom and pop shop for handcrafted sandwiches of house made, slow cooked, mouth watering meats paired with local craft beers and ciders. ( wine and whiskey also available ) They have breakfast and dinner features as well. Very reasonably priced. Try and find a legendary sandwich and craft pint for under $20 on the north shore! Go ahead. I'll wait...... The proprietors of this humble and quaint yet lively charismatic 12 seater, husband and wife duo, Martin and Sherry are some of the genuinely nicest and warmest people you could ever hope to meet. They take great care in what they do and it definitely shows in every tiny way. The mom and pop team truly value, respect and charm their loyal fan base and treat every guest like they were family. In fact, the micro shoppe is referred to as their "living room" and a quick visit will have you feeling as though you are with friends and family in no time. Even when rubbing elbows with strangers, I have a hard time leaving. They really do get all the best folks everyday and there is never a shortage of conversation which is incredible, because you get the feeling of a village pub in the UK or Ireland except that it's in the heart of a major city and you just won't find that anywhere else. It's become somewhat of a neighborhood institution and it's crystal clear as to why that is. I shouldn't tell you just how wonderful Meat at O'Neill's is because I want to be selfish and keep it a secret so I can get a seat and enjoy it all to myself, but good things should be a shared experience and good things are ALWAYS worth the wait and that is exactly what they are about. The experience and building solid relationships and planting roots in Lonsdale with a passion for keeping people happy and fed with slow cooked foods. I mean, When was the last time that you had a genuine chat while waiting on food from someone that remembered your name and story? Which didn't include the mind numbingly auto-robotic phrases "how is everything tasting?" Or "grab you guys another round?" Or "I'll be your server" only to wonder who this new server is and what was going on with your drinks and food? It's all right in front of you here. All earnest and upfront. You are in great hands. When Martin and Sherry ask how you are, they really want to know and greet you with "we have that pale ale that you love again Barrie. Pint of that for you?" It's these little attentions to details that build repeat guests and leave you wanting to go visit time and time again. It's my favorite lunch spot in all of Canada. Its always top shelf service and fare. Do yourself and a friend or two a favor and go pay them a visit. You'll love the experience and the people watching is pretty amusing too. Great. Now I'm craving a meatloaf sandwich again!

Eli Ranger

Fast friendly comfort food in a relaxing atmosphere. perfect for a lunch break or brunch

Asuka Love

Very cozy sandwich place. Had some craft beers which were nice. The sandwiches are the right portion for the price and are very good.

Steve O'Neill

Excellent as always. Chilli was yummy.

Peter Nilsson

So delicious and addicting...eating there a lot lately

Russell Deen

Wow, sometimes you just get lucky and find a really good place by chance. The place we were going to was closed so found this near by. Food was excellent. Simple great sandwich, Nice little local gem. Will definitely come back again.

Gary White

Small venue with Martin the owner who greets you with a smile people are friendly excellent food and cold brew is always good

Joseph McKenna

Great atmosphere, and wonderful staff. A true hidden gem on Lonsdale.

Matt Poole

So delicious, so cozy And i really like how welcoming, comfortable and at home it felt. SANDWICHES ARE AMAZING BREAKFAST SANDWICHES ALL DAY ♡☆☆☆☆☆♡☆☆☆☆☆♡

Joe Godin

Seriously good spot!!!!

Michael Irvine

Great food and great people????????

Coal Harbour Boat Rentals

The best Sandwiches on the lower mainland! You can’t find a friendlier place. Also there’s beer!

Dillon Byrne

Amazing sandwiches and great people! The owners knew every patron that walked in while we had lunch but were equally as inviting and conversational with us out-of-towners. If I ever move to Vancouver, I’ll be sure to get a place within walking distance of this neighborhood gem!

Dylan

The owner is a little ugly but the food is awesome.

Rahil S

A great friendly sandwich / meat shop which has a fun crowd Friday nights! They rotate two beers on tap along with a selection of wine and cider. It's a great place to go if your wanting some honest sandwiches and fantastic local meats!!

Gareth Evans

What a find! Great friendly service, delicious sandwiches and beer. We will be back!

Michael Parker

Meal type

Tom w

Best sandwich in lower Lonsdale. You can't have enough of the all day breakfast sandwiches, and all the ingredients are locally sourced ????

Niall Hannon

Best Sandwich ???? in town. Also try the cider.

Greg o'Leary

Meatloaf sandwich was very good. Can't wait to try the others.

John Macdonald

BEEF BRISKET ALL DAY EVERY DAY. Especially during quarantine. Thank you for providing us with sustenance

Jeff Raider

Really awful Covid protocols. Walked by before going in, packed to the gills, nobody wearing a mask, especially not staff. It would be a really scary place to eat.

Tom Looijschelder

Perhaps I had too many expectations built up, but my experience did not correlate with the high reviews. The beef brisket sandwich was dry and had very little meat in it. They have alcohol to go with discounts which is great, but we had to wait way too long for the sandwich to be made. Their patio has three seats and looks nice if you get a spot.

Dustin Heins

I have been walking by here for a while with curiosity. It’s always busy and seems like a decent spot. Fast forward 6mths and I make this my place to go every Thursday/Friday for a good chat and sandwich. You won’t meet a more honest couple who take pride in their business and service. If you want to meet people this place comes with no agenda and welcomes ppl from every corner of the world. Happy to call it a local now and for anyone looking for good company and food 5* doesn’t do it justice.

Viktor Houdek

Kind owners, beautiful shop, great food.

Ellena Deen

The food! Delicious and generous portions prepared with love and care. Yum! Plus Martin and Shari the owners serve with personal attention. We love Meat At O’Neills!

Josh Irish

Brilliant sandwiches, lovely atmosphere, could be improved by adding a wisecracking parrot or raven. Just something to think about.

Evan Byrne

Hearty, locally sourced sandwiches with great service.

Darcy Davis

This place has hands down the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Very friendly owner operators. Very happy to have this place in the neighbourhood:)

Leslie Boyce

AMAZING, great food, relaxing environment. Husband and wife duo that make such a great team. Sandwiches are to die for. A must do in north Vancouver

Gordon Stobie

Just had a Spicy Mexican Meatloaf sandwiche - it was so good. I will be going again very soon.

Kjersti Hall

You won’t find a spot like it on the entire North Shore. Martin and Shari (the owners) are as much a reason to come here as the food is (and the food is unbelievable!). You feel welcome the moment you walk in and missed the moment you walk out. They put more effort into their slow-roasted meat sandwiches than most restaurants put into their entire menu, the Thursday and Friday dinner specials are a rotating cast of belly-warming delights and you’re all but guaranteed to make a new friend with each visit. Don’t miss it!

Bryton Harris

My go to place for breakfast or lunch. Open late Thursday & Friday with a Irish Pub like atmosphere & Martin’s weekly curry special. Home cooked food is important to me (hate processed food) so I love this place

Barry Gagnon

Great food. Been there several times and have always enjoyed myself. The owners make you feel very welcome. Such a refreshing change from the generic food offered at the chains.

Mike Morris

Great crack! Amazing owners, funny and humble. The locals all pour into the place on a Friday night to see the handsome barman. He’s called Gorgeous George!
