Match Eatery & Public House Reviews
Great food and friendly staff.
First of all,the food is very good. The reason for the negative reviews is because I went in specifically with a gift card for the restaurant. I specifically said at the start that I had a gift card. No issues. I ordered my meal, are it, and it was good. When I went to pay,only then I was told I couldn't use the gift card so I had to pay myself. To me this just seems like a very dishonest thing to do. You don't think you could mention at the beginning that I couldn't use it? I...read full review

Match Eatery & Public House offers a mixed experience, featuring good food and service, though some customers have found the prices to be high. The restaurant is known for its consistent quality and accuracy in orders, making it a favored choice for many. Located near a casino, the atmosphere can surprise skeptics, as the friendly staff enhances the experience. Visitors have enjoyed delicious dishes such as the seared tuna on basmati rice, the Match Burger, and the Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad, which received praise for its generous portions and great quality. The blackened chicken sandwich is especially loved, and the burger with bacon and cheese, along with a Caesar salad celebrated for its real bacon pieces, roasted garlic, and excellent croutons with balsamic drizzle, continues to be a favorite. The restaurant often hosts events like name that tune bingo nights, which can be busy but fun. Some customers have noted that the popular fish and chips can sometimes taste dried out or have a pink tinge to the meat, which was disappointing. The menu prices are clearly marked, but extra charges for items like bacon, cheese, salad substitutions, and gravy can add up quickly, especially when ordering multiple burgers. Match Eatery & Public House is also wheelchair accessible with ramps available, making it a reliable option for a satisfying meal. It has become a go-to spot for many, known for its outstanding food and solid service, including a sports bar section with possibly the coldest draft beer. Whether dining in, picking up, or getting delivery, it earns praise for its attention to detail in the kitchen and the professionalism of its staff, such as Scott, who adds joy to the dining experience.
