Holy cow!!! Best damn pit beef I've ever had! No bull! Lol I walked in their pit stand at 4:59 not knowing they were about to close and surprisingly was greeted kindly and served one hell of a meal! I'm a foodie and I have never had a pit beef cooked to perfection, sliced absolutely perfect, and on a super fresh kaiser roll! I feel like I've been eating knock offs up until now and just had the REAL DEAL for the first time today! I normally put ketchup, mustard, and raw onions on a rare pit beef but this sandwich had such a great taste that I only added the raw onions. I wanted to savor the flavor of the beef ? The sandwich came with fries and a can of soda for under $12 and worth the price! I was stuffed with just the sandwich and half my fries bc the sandwich was HUGE! If you haven't had a MeatMan pit beef yet - do yourself a solid and go get one! They're open Fridays Saturdays and Sundays 11am to 5pm on the side of Tempo Lounge on Back River Neck Rd in Essex
Happened to be in the area one day, and hadn’t eaten.The pit master suggested the Hot Beef Platter (layered, slices of pit beef paired among hand cut French fries and complimented with a lip-smacking gravy that would easily require GrandDad to loosen his belt while dutifully nestling in his easy chair after eating).Good stuff! and they cater :)Check this tent out! I’ve included the menu for you
In a time where bbq is trendy and many places are popping up that serve overpriced brisket on a prison tray, I’m confident that I can swing by this location and get something to eat that’s much better than what’s available everywhere else.
A friend took us there last Saturday. The Tempo cheeseburger was off the chart, so went back again this week! Fries were excellent as they were piping hot! Service was very good!
I don’t know what they did but I’ve been going there for years… I must say that today, July 11, I got the BEST sandwich I ever had! Perfect-delicious without any condiments. Thank you MeatMan Catering. Will be back real soon!
always a perfect sandwich
The sandwiches bar none. We’ve been coming here for years and my little group wouldn’t think of eating anything on Saturday but a meat man sandwich! And sometimes the fries!
Them platters are just what was needed. 3 families pleaded with one stop. We will be back again.
Great food and service
Some of the staff Members formally of Portside Pub on Margaret Ave may be found at Tempo and I am starting to see d familar clientele. there is a GREAT PIT BEEF GUY OUTSIDE. they have room for a pool table but I have only seen it out once which is dissapoiting but their craft beer selection...draft bottle and can makes me super happy. prices are decent anf they have karaoke. there is also a liquor store attached. there is plenty of space to park and have outdoor events but I unfortunately don't see them using it for outside events during warm weather months. if you are from 21221 / 21220, you will see plenty of familar faces.
