Santa Maria Tri Tip Sando...seriously! Phenomenal! And the max and cheese was a great side pairing. Downes with a Joyride IPA and all is right in the world.

Amazing place!! We used to go here when it was PreFunk and finally wanted to try out the new place last night with some friends. The food was AMAZING!! I got the Mac and cheese with bacon, my boyfriend got one of the sandwiches and my friend got the tofu Banh Mi. We all loved our food and the drinks were good too. We got a couple of beers and canned cocktails. The service was great, the music was awesome and the crowd was pleasant. The only thing I'd recommend is to dress pretty warm! It's not insulated very well because of the garages and the windows so my friend and I were pretty chilly most of the time. Dress comfortable and warm and enjoy! We're excited for patio season!!

Stopped in for a beer and a little dinner. Wife was out with friends. Had a hazy IPA and a cup of the best Mac and cheese, ever! James, the bartender, was on spot.

Stop in for some great service and food.

Oof, I very rarely rate something less than 3 stars, but I unfortunately have to do that here. We stopped here for a quick beer and appetizer top-up on a Friday night after work. The facility is really attractive and the vibe was good, but service was really terrible. To start, we only got one round of beers in almost an hour of being there because we got ignored once we got our first round. We saw a waitress stop and talk to another table for 15 solid minutes (not exaggerating) at one point. When the nachos came, they were placed in front of me with zero warning that the serving platter was extremely hot. I burned my hand and didn't even get an apology, just a "yeah that's hot". Who serves nachos on a red-hot platter? What? To top it all off, the plates we received were clearly dirty. There was a smelly greasy spotted film over them (not dish soap spots). We didn't use the plates and are so confused why this place is so incredibly bad.

I absolutely hate giving a low review, but wow this was bad. Not going back and scratching my head over the high rating.

Had a wire bristle in my chili that stuck in my gums. Sent the chili back and just asked for Fritos instead and didn’t make a fuss about it. The waitress could care less about it but the bartender was more concerned about it than her and said he wouldn’t charge for the Fritos even though she wanted him to. Won’t be going back and there are definitely better options due to the service.

Possibly the best chicken drumsticks you'll ever eat. The rest of the food is good too but do yourself a favor and get the buffalo with ranch first.

Solid for smoked meats and beers. Chill atmosphere for larger groups or just sitting at the bar. They have a few big tv’s but it’s not the main focus. Feels more like a neighborhood bar with great food and drink selection. Some of the food (like chicken lollipops) takes longer, but they’ve warned me ahead of time.

Matlack's is an excellent place for brews and dining.

The restaurant is clean and decorated well with tables as well as seating at the bar. Sports of all types are on large screen televisions. They have outdoor seating with heated areas.

The service is fast, polite, and friendly. They check on the client often, unobtrusively, ensuring all is as desired.

This location serves beers of all types and ciders.

They serve great food with generous portions. I've had sandwiches, nachos, and other fine items. I'm partial to their macaroni and cheese with a candied local bacon on top. I really enjoy this dish as it contains multiple cheeses.

They finally have cribbage tournaments the last Tuesday of each month (check near holidays). Lots of fun and great comradery.

Cost is reasonable for everything I've ordered. With drinks, $20 plus pet person.
