I kept it simple for my first visit: 3 chicken meatballs in spicy sauce on a white baguette. For dessert, I had a pecan and expresso ice cream cookie sandwich. Yum! I would definitely return!

Spicy pork dumplings and cream sauce. The Thanksgiving balls on special should be tried. Drinks are great, esp. the fool aide and sangria. Give the Jell-O shot a try. Save room for an ice cream sand.

Our favorites: Spicy pork meatballs & mozz on brioche, bratwurst balls topped w/ beer-infused mustard sauce, & Underballs' Whiskey Float w/ citrus liqueur, root beer, & house-made vanilla ice cream. Read more

I had a great experience here but my friend took a bite of my meatball and chomped on a huge piece of sharp plastic. They canceled my bill and gave me an new free order. I got lucky, but she didn’t.

8/10. Beef meatballs and kids menu were delicious. The white Parmesan sauce made me feel very indulgent. My husbands spicy tomato sauce had the perfect amount of spice. Just good, tasty, simple food.

If you can sit at the bar. It's best. Good people and quick to get you your drink. Amazing food. ALWAYS ask about the special. They have some awesome concoctions. Plus the drinks are super good.

Loved the chicken meatballs with vegetables. Brunch options as well, waffle balls for kids. Kitchen was a bit slow but overall happy because of the high quality of the food.

Love these places. Meatball specialists. I'd recommend the spicy pork ball with spicy meat sauce. Have it over spaghetti or rigatoni. Don't forget to check the daily specials board!

No matter how you choose to eat them, the meatballs are solid: juicy, well-seasoned, and tasty if not life-changing. Very good with cheap beer.

Spicy pork w/ mushroom sauce is always a win in any form. I highly recommended the Everything but the Kitchen Sink salad, it's a little lighter than other options but is hearty & delicious

Great vibes and price point. But kitchen sink salad was cold, what gives? They're roasted vegetables! Ice cream sandwich was a bang for your buck, but ice cream needed some defrosting.

Still my most favorite late night bite in New York City. They have everything you can imagine about meatballs. Get them over their risotto, It is to die for!
Justin BartonJuly 15, 2013
Same good meatballs as their other locations, but the best part of this place is that it is open until 2am during the week. I needed a place to take a girl late night and this was a great option.

All of the meatballs here contain pork, not just the ones labeled as 'Pork meatballs'! Only exception are the veggie meatballs.

Good Meatballs. Hardy Veggies. Trying the ice cream sandwich as well. Love the ambiance in the places. 🍝

Loved the classic smash, but go for The Kitchen Sink if you are looking for something a little different!

Spicy pork balls are tasty. Try them on the creamy polenta, with the traditional marinara sauce. Good, quick meal that won't break your bank.

The polenta is delicious. The green sauce! Omg yum

Get their biscuit and gravy meatballs. Don't overlook their breakfast and brunch items!

If you are feeling indulgent, get the kitchen sink--meatballs and eclectic sides. Cap the meal with their can't miss ice cream sandwiches.
Patrick BaskinMarch 7, 2016
Pesto meatballs 👌🏼 ice cream sandwiches are great and don't sleep on the cocktails which are actually quite tasty especially for the price
Ina LiOctober 9, 2015
Get spicy pork balls and pesto sauce! The mini buffalo chicken balls are too salty and floury
Christopher FredaSeptember 7, 2014
Love the beef meatballs & the ice cream sandwiches are great! Snickerdoodle with brown sugar ice cream all the way!

"The Kitchen Sink Salad" is 87.43% of my diet. I thank The Lord that it exists. Add "Family Jewels" (a fried egg) for just $1. #healthy #cheap #balls

Had the daily special which was Lamb with the Pesto sauce over the daily Risotto. Soooo good. The creamy polenta is amazing!
Joseph AkbrudSeptember 5, 2013
Obviously you can't go wrong with the meatballs. Give the Ice cream sandwiches a try. Both the ice cream and cookies are made in house!
Rebecca PalmerSeptember 10, 2015
Beef meatballs with spicy sauce, sauce had good flavour but not spicy. Green beans were awesome. Great service too
Roniel TesslerJuly 17, 2016
The kitchen sink is the best valuehere. 3 balls are just enough, and your plate gets loaded with veggies.
Akshata KaliaFebruary 22, 2015
One of my favorite places. They have jello shots! Ice cream sanwiches are amazing and so are the meatballs
Paula BuzzoApril 22, 2018
Naked classic balls with tomato sauce over freshly polenta is a good choice.
a blissful life.April 4, 2013
Check out the daily specials! And if nothing catches your eye, try the spicy pork or veggie balls! And don't forget a HUGE ice cream cookie sandwich for dessert.
Ashley AlvarezOctober 7, 2014
Their brunch has some surprisingly time-appropriate options. My fav is the breakfast sandwich with breakfast sausage meatballs.
Meaghan KennyJuly 11, 2015
Parmesan scream sauce is excellent! And you can't go wrong with any combination of ice cream sandwich!
Boon YapJune 6, 2013
Popular spot, even on weekdays. Get here early, or enjoy the bars upstairs & downstairs.
Andrew HallJune 26, 2015
Best meatballs I've ever had! Loved the dry erase menus too!
Justin FerrantiSeptember 27, 2016
Order the Kitchen Sink. Good amount of food for a decent price. Buffalo balls appetizer is a must
Mike FriedlichJanuary 21, 2017
Spicy Pork Meatballs in Parmesan Cream w/Rigatoni are delicious!
JPMay 8, 2015
You come for the wide array of meatballs and variety of sides, but you stay for the ice cream sandwiches.
Chey315August 23, 2014
Get the brown sugar ice cream with cookie! The biscuits and gravy brunch special is to die for!
Ranu RajkarnikarFebruary 12, 2015
Another solid outpost. Bigger than the LES location. Order a smash for the win!
Catherine MietekJuly 13, 2014
Seriously, the nicest people on the planet work here. Could not ask for a better World Cup final viewing. Also: food is delicious!
Mikey NeffJune 15, 2015
Go with the spicy meatball sliders with parmesan cream sauce!! Super cute little place!!

Don't be shy - if you're not sure what to order, just ask.
Steven YApril 27, 2016
The kitchen sink brunch dish is very good and very filling
Monti BrayApril 7, 2015
Parm cream with risotto is delicious but heavy... Leaving room for dessert is a must!
BK CMarch 23, 2013
New Meatball Shop. Same as it ever was. But do be sure to check out the downstairs bar for a quieter meaty experience.
Marisssa FerraraccioFebruary 21, 2015
The food is outstanding. Period. Best balls you've ever put in your mouth. And I mean it.
Avin NarasimhanAugust 30, 2015
Nowhere near as crowded as other locations. Hero with chicken meatballs + spicy meat sauce = amazing
Colleen AnthesFebruary 8, 2014
Also, the Warm & Cozy drink is fantastic - a warm hard cider with a perfect amount of cinnamon.
