Manic Meatballs - Restaurant in Lakewood - 14815 Union Ave SW, USA

Fantastic place! Everything tastes like it's made from scratch, meatballs are delicious, real mashed potatoes, flavorful gravy. I don't even like beans, yet their baked beans are one of my favorite sides. Fresh applesauce seals the deal. Thank you for the affordable delicious food 👏

The flooded fries with meatballs were very tasty, the meatballs themselves are tender and seasoned great. The portions are huge. The bacon wrapped meatballs weren't quite as good. They were dried out somewhat from the second cook with the bacon. The beans are a must.

Oh....my.... Gracious! This place was so good!! Good reminiscent of my German grandma's cooking! The cucumber salad and red slaw were so flavorful but let's not forget those meatballs!!! Traditional and chicken ones with the potatoes and gravy were just divine!!!

Food here was quite good! Found more than two pieces of hair in my to-go food which was rather alarming but they were more than happy to give me another plate for free! They really do care about their customers! :) Other than that the food was great! I’ve heard so many good things about this place and decided to try it out for myself! My fries were a bit soggy but still very well seasoned. My green beans were cooked very well! Not soggy at all; it had that nice crunch. And the mashed potatoes were amazing! Loved it! The meatballs were pretty good! I enjoyed every bite! I think my favorite was the chicken and apple meatballs! Their dipping sauce is very unique and goes great with the fries. Overall, for $12, this place is great! I would come back again!

Outstanding meatballs and sides! The bacon-wrapped meatballs are very tasty, the Cucumber Salad compliments the Manic Meatballs and the Chicken meatballs very well. Everything is homemade from scratch... even the fries and the new fry sauce that I'm looking forward to the Manic company bottling. Highly recommend you try this place, you won't be disappointed.

I saw this pop up when searching for a lunch spot one day and knew I had to try it. After some errands and delving into near hanger, my husband and I agreed to try this place for take out. We walked in the door and were instantly greeted with friendly hellos and offers to explain how it works. We both order manic meals. He chose only traditional manic meatballs with mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and deviled eggs. I got 3 manic meatballs and three bacon wrapped with mashed potatoes, coleslaw and fries. We drove home with the goods after snacking on the fries in the car (which looked like steak fries are but are surprisingly thin and well seasoned!). There was some jostling in car that caused my coleslaw juice to leak purple every where but no harm to taste was caused. All the food was so delicious!! The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was how vinegary the coleslaw was. I still ate most of it but I prefer my coleslaw on the creamier side. Would highly recommend this place!!

I had high hopes for this spot. I ordered the manic meal with green beans and applesauce. The three stars were for the applesauce and good (not great) service. I expected the meatballs to be much better and was disappointed by undercooked, tasteless masses of meat covered in gravy. My disappointment didn't end there. I was quite excited by the side of lingonberry sauce included with the meal. Thinking it might elevate the flavor of the meatballs, I added them to my plate and quickly found them to be a stale impersonation of their namesake. On a positive note, the shells and cheese were very good. My kids enjoyed it. To the owner: The meatballs should be AMAZING. It was the most disappointing part of the meal and worth investigating why they tasted like crockpot/microwave meatballs. I hope this constructive critique is taken with good intentions in mind. I like Swedish food and value having a quick, non-traditional fast food option. May you have much success in the future.

What a unique place! I think I tried a little of everything, and it was all good! I think my favorites were the chicken meatballs, and both the noodles and the mashed potatoes were great! And thanks again to the owner for humoring me and letting me create a sampler of so many things!
