    Had brunch there. The host and wait staff were friendly, efficient and nice—very impressive. The brunch menu was extensive and the food and the Bloody Mary were fine. However, the noise level inside was the worst I’ve ever experienced in any restaurant. My guest and I were yelling at each other to even be heard—and we were at a table in the front near a window.

    We traveled in for July 4 and our waiter from Ada’s recommended Matt and Tony’s. It was a great meal and we were happy with our choice. The French toast is absolutely amazing and we also had their basic breakfast which was certainly above a basic. It was loud inside, but it was an upbeat, energetic atmosphere and the people couldn’t have been nicer. It’s a cut above and a little something extra if you’re looking for a fun place to have brunch.

    Attend Matt and Tonya for bday brunch with my family. We were welcomed and and greeted with charm. It was July 4th so, the place was jumping as expected. It appeared our server, Brandon, may have been a bit overwhelmed, as he didn’t check in on us (touch the table) as much as we would’ve like…at one point my dad had to go to the bar to ask for condiments. We also didn’t get an opportunity to tell him it was my birthday, well because he wasn’t touching the table. Everyone enjoyed their meals and def a great value. I attribute it to the business of the day and will def fine there again!

    This is a great local spot, good brunch and good drinks. Very busy place, you should plan ahead and put in a reservation or you may have a 20 min wait. But the food is creative and worth it. Service is on point. Def a go to.

    The maitred’ was absolutely awful. Older gentleman. Didn’t even greet us and I had to engage first and then he had attitude like we were bothering him. As if we were an inconvenience. I wish I got his name because he should be fired. My nephew was here from out of town and could not believe what an awful experience this was. I was so embarrassed and will never return.

FAQs

Yes, guests frequently report that staff are accommodating when asked to adjust seating, timing, or menu items. Several reviews describe calling ahead to adjust reservations, requesting seating changes, or asking for allergy accommodations. Because the space is small and popular, call ahead for accessibility needs, large groups or special celebrations so the team can prepare.

If you prefer a lively, buzzy scene, weekends for brunch or dinner are ideal, that’s when the place hums. If you want a quieter meal or easier seating, choose a weekday (mid-morning or early afternoon) or an early dinner on weekdays. Guests also recommend outside seating on pleasant days to avoid the indoor noise and to enjoy heaters on cool evenings. Always make a reservation for weekends.

Portions at Matt & Tony’s are generally generous and satisfying, many guests mention hearty plates and good value, especially for brunch and main entrées. A few items (some guests noted steak-tip portions or certain entrees) felt smaller to some diners, so portions can vary by dish. If you’re unsure, consider ordering a shareable starter (crab dip, tuna poke nachos) alongside an entrée to sample more of the menu.

The vibe is energetic, neighborhood-chic and buzzing, think lively brunches, a communal bar and spirited dinner service. Guests praise the friendly staff, modern decor and strong neighborhood feel. Be aware the dining room gets loud when busy; if you want a more relaxed conversation, ask for patio seating or an early weekday reservation.

Yes, Matt & Tony’s is a popular, energetic spot that works well for date nights when you want a lively, food-forward evening. Guests praise the creative cocktails, polished service and standout dishes like cornflake-crusted French toast (great for brunch dates) and miso black cod or filet tips for dinner. Note: the dining room can be quite loud at peak times; opt for an early reservation, a table on the patio, or a seat at the bar if you want a slightly quieter vibe.

The dress code is business casual. Guests typically come in relaxed, stylish attire appropriate for a lively neighborhood restaurant, think smart-casual for brunch or dinner. Comfortable, neat clothing fits the venue’s energetic but polished vibe.

Yes, many guests report bringing dogs and enjoying patio seating with heaters and a welcoming staff. If you plan to bring a dog, choose outdoor seating and call ahead to confirm current patio policy and any restrictions (especially for larger groups or busy service times).

Yes, during peak times (weekend brunch and busy dinner hours) guests report waits even with reservations and occasional seating delays. The restaurant is small and fills quickly, so guests recommend making a reservation and planning for a possible short wait; OpenTable and calling ahead have helped guests reduce wait time. There’s limited comfortable waiting space inside, so staff sometimes offer patio seating or comps when waits run long.

Busiest: weekend brunch and dinner service, guests frequently mention packed Saturday/Sunday brunches and lively weekend evenings. Quietest: weekday mornings, early lunchtimes or weekday dinners are typically calmer. If you want to avoid the crowds, aim for midweek visits or early/late service windows and consider patio seating for a more relaxed meal.

Yes, Matt & Tony’s is family-friendly. Guests often bring kids for brunch and celebrations, and the restaurant offers a dedicated Kids menu with options like chicken tenders, waffles and a classic breakfast. The casual atmosphere and generous portions make it a good spot for families; for larger family groups consider a reservation and request a more spacious table.

Yes, guests report holiday service and special holiday offerings (examples include Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day menus/events). The restaurant has also provided holiday meals to customers in the past, but hours or special menus may change for holidays, call ahead to confirm service and reservation availability for specific dates.

For atmosphere: weekend brunch (Saturday/Sunday) delivers the buzzy, social experience the restaurant is known for. For a quieter, more relaxed meal: midweek (Tuesday–Thursday) or weekday mornings/early afternoons are best. Reservations are wise any day, but especially on weekends when the restaurant fills quickly.

Yes, Matt & Tony’s has an outdoor patio that guests frequently use and praise (including heaters for cooler weather). Many diners recommend outdoor seating to avoid indoor noise and to enjoy a more relaxed meal when weather permits.
