   Great experience! I had a reservation, and the initial table they gave me was awful. Right in the front of the restaurant, where people were waiting for tables. I requested a different table and was accommodated immediately. Great customer experience!

   Matt and Tony’s never disappoints- it’s my goal to try everything on the menu! We ordered a bottled of Prosecco and had a night brunch date- Tiffany was a great server. The food was delish as always.

   I live in the area and didn't realize we had such a great restaurant! The brunch was outstanding as well as the service! They even have heat lamps if you want to eat outside. Make sure you get there a little early to find parking.

   I’m a foodie and respect good food that stands out and has you craving and coming back for more! I always say there’s a lot of nice restaurants with good food and good ambience, but the true win of a place is when you crave something at a place that you can’t get anywhere else!  besides the ambience and the place always being packed when I sit down and order and take a bite of my food. All I can think is that my soul has been awakened. to a point where I can’t ignore. Where I have to vocally say to my friends wow!! this food is so good! We are all sitting, chewing, smiling, and happy! Very rare that you can feel that! That is what I call perfection! So good!

   New to the area but have been to this restaurant 3 times already. Food is 10/10 as well as service. This place is always busy so recommend calling ahead or making a reservation.

    I visited Matt & Tony’s in Alexandria, VA, and my experience was pretty middle-of-the-road. I had a reservation for a party of three and arrived about 20 minutes early. When I checked in, I was told they would seat me closer to my reservation time. The restaurant was busy, with a group of about six waiting outside and multiple parties standing inside. To kill some time, I took a short walk to Walgreens and returned five minutes before my reservation. Upon returning, I was told they’d let me know when my table was ready. About five minutes after my scheduled time, I was offered a table for two with an extra chair since there weren’t any available tables for three. Rather than waiting longer, I agreed. We started with soy-glazed wings, mac & cheese with brisket, and tempura cauliflower & shrimp. None of these dishes stood out. The wings lacked the crunch I expected from a twice-fried preparation, and the sauce was one-dimensional—just a basic sweet soy glaze. The tempura cauliflower & shrimp could have used more seasoning, and the mac & cheese with brisket had an overly sweet barbecue sauce, overcooked pasta, and a bland cheese sauce that reminded me of boxed mac & cheese. For my entrée, I ordered a smashburger. It was decent but nothing special—I’ve had better at chain spots like Smashburger. The one highlight of the meal was the burnt honey Old Fashioned—so good I ordered a second one. Service was lacking. After bringing our appetizers, our server never returned to check on us, ask if we were ready to order entrées, or see if we needed anything else. I had to flag her down to place our entrée order, which was frustrating. Overall, Matt & Tony’s felt more like a dive bar than a dinner destination. The atmosphere was fine, but the food was just okay, and the service left a lot to be desired. If I were to return, it would be for a drink at the bar rather than a full sit-down meal. Would I recommend it? For a casual bar experience, maybe. Not a dinner reservation.
