“ The food here is great! I love that it's right at the Metro Station and has great Happy Hour options during the week. Every time I try something new, it becomes a new favorite. I've never had anything I didn't like. My favorites now are the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Sticky Pork Ribs, Old Bay Wings, and a Classic Pepperoni pizza. I've never had to wait long for a table. Service can be a little slow sometimes, but nothing too crazy. I love sitting at the bar, but there's plenty of other tables and room upstairs for large parties. ”
“ Food was so good. We came for an early lunch. The pizza bread was soo good. For only $5 it was so worth it and delicious. We then ordered the breakfast sandwich and chick fettuccine. It was all 10/10. The mimosa tower was also a hit. We had the Chinatown tower and didn't regret it. Will be back .... ”
“ Grabbed lunch with a friend after exploring D.C. We opted for the street corn app, pepperoni pizza, and some chicken fingers with fries. Everything was good; my friend was obsessed with the street corn. I thought it was good too, a bit spicy for me but she wanted to order extra. I believe our server's name was something with a B (maybe Bronson?) and he was attentive and friendly. Would come back. ”

“ Happy hour ribs & a glass of Modelo beer hit the spot for a 4:30 pm snack. Ordered a Bacon Bianca pizza which had a thin crust and topped with arugula & bacon. Service was quick & efficient at the bar seating. Clean, modern decor with upbeat pop music playing. ”
“ Matchbox hosted a private event for my organization. When we arrived, we were promptly seated upstairs. Our servers worked hard to take care of our large party throughout the night. They were very friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were very good! The bread was ah-maz-ing!!! I finished all of my food, which I rarely do. Thanks to Matchbox for such a great experience! ”
