   The server was kind, didn’t rush us, and even joked around a bit. The street corn app and fried chicken sandwich were sooo good. Will definitely come back again for brunch!

   Food (including specifically the sliders and half chicken) was decent. The big issue was that our server basically disappeared for the rest of the meal after the entrees arrived. We were there celebrating a big birthday. The server brought a scoop of ice cream with a candle, but entrees had still not been cleared and we were never asked if we wanted dessert, which we would have ordered. Service started out fine but once the entrees arrived, that was it.

   Great food. The atmosphere was great for connecting with friends, one of which we hadn’t seen for 44 years. Excellent service as well. As far as the volume, it was mainly us. Sorry about that!

   The restaurant seems to have gone downhill. We visited on a Sunday and we were taking the two tables that were dirty to be seated at. I then went to the restroom to wash my hands and the towel dispenser was resting on the countertop along with the soap dispenser. The food was okay but not great like it used to be.

   We were looking for a place near our hotel to have brunch and I found this location through an internet search. My husband loves pancakes and we both agreed that they were excellent. I loved the food, the ambience and the service.

   We both enjoyed our pizza at Matchbox and the waiters were very attentive. They only two small criticisms are: 1). the light at our table was SO bright we felt like we were in an operating room 2). Although the hand-held checkout devices are convenient, I always feel rushed and didn't fully review our bill. I would rather see the bill at my leisure and then check out. But those are not big issues that would prevent us from visiting again.
