The Meatball Joint is opening tomorrow (5/21/12) at the old King Kone on Alton and 15th. We had the opportunity to sample the whole menu tonight.

The menu is pretty much laid out in a build-your-balls way. Get a pen and pick your meatball type (beef, turkey, veggie or a daily special), pick your sauce, and either go naked or choose a vessel from a sammy, slider or a sandwich. You can also add some good stuff on the side like roasted corn polenta, watercress pear salad, garlic bread, grilled veggies, pasta, etc….. Everything is under $10 with the exception of eating 6 sliders at $15. So we tried all the balls – the beef, the turkey and the veggie (which is mostly eggplant and surprisingly delicious). Large tasty balls in flavorful sauces at a terrific price point.

We also ordered dessert. They have apple pie, bread pudding (sold out) and a “make your own” ice cream cookie sandwich. Ours was a giant ball of vanilla ice cream shaped like a meatball in between two chocolate chip cookies! Nom Nom Nom

Happy having delicious balls in my mouth :P
