The Meatball Shop operates casual dining venues focused on meatball centered fare, offering simple, sustainable and flavorful options. It was founded in 2010 on the Lower East Side by Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow and has since expanded to four New York City locations, with pop-ups in Washington, D.C. and Connecticut and a delivery-only concept in Boise, Idaho. The company emphasizes an employee-first culture, treating staff as central to daily operations and encouraging creativity and individuality within local communities. Based in New York, the restaurant brand sits in the casual dining segment and maintains distinct energy across locations while sharing core values. Its team members are referred to as ballers, reflecting a people-centered approach to service and operations. In April 2026, the company permanently closed its final Hell's Kitchen location, marking the end of its presence there after about 14 years.
