About

The Meat Up BBQ is a go-to for those wanting a fun, interactive AYCE experience. Diners love the variety of skewers and the hot pot combo, noting the food is generally tasty and well-seasoned. However, the place is notorious for long wait times and limited parking. While many praise the friendly staff, others feel the service can be hit-or-miss when the restaurant gets slammed.
