About Matlack's

Matlack's is a great place to relax with good food and beers, offering a friendly atmosphere. It has a chill vibe with a casual neighborhood feel, making it a good choice for larger groups or just sitting at the bar. The place features a beer garden and a patio that are dog-friendly, with TVs inside for games. The music is great, and the crowd is pleasant. The establishment is not very well insulated because of the garages and windows, so dressing warmly is advised, especially during cooler weather. Although there can be some service delays, the friendly staff and high-quality beers make it worth visiting. The smoked tofu banh mi and mac and cheese are both incredible, and the vegan sandwich is highly recommended. The restaurant offers delicious meals like the Tritip sandwich with chimichurri, and the flavorful banh mi, which is good but does not exactly remind one of a traditional banh mi sandwich. Parking can be tricky, but riding a bike might help. Overall, it’s an excellent spot to enjoy smoked meats, beers, and good company on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
