   Our 1st visit was a disappointment. Few options at the buffet and the eggs were totally overcooked, therefore we decided to order from the menu. The oysters rockefeller was delivered to our table cold. I asked the server to have them heated. 2nd try was slightly better but not warm. If I had wanted cold oysters I would have ordered them on the half shell. When adding spinach, sauce, and cheese it should be at least warm. If the food was good then the price would have been acceptable, but we felt it a waste of money.

   This might be the worst dining experience I’ve ever had; definitely the worst brunch experience I can remember. I was anxious to try their new unlimited brunch for $45. Service was slow and inattentive. We waited for 10 minutes before our server, who passed our table at least four times, finally greeted us apologetically. There were four plates stacked on the table. All were dirty, and two of them had dried food on them. The complimentary buttermilk biscuits, which we had to ask for twice, were the worst I’ve had. The bottoms were soggy and stuck to the plate. Yet the tops were rock hard and very crunchy. The chicken and waffles were a hit. Even the waffles on the waffle station were very good. The crab and shrimp rolls were three mini rolls with enough seafood for only one and zero seasoning. The sirloin at the carving station was carved too far in advance and placed under a light, causing it to be dry… and tough. The egg station looked great. The taco station, not so much. The tuna tacos I ordered were never delivered, so I can’t speak on those. Unless you plan to eat $45 worth of waffles, this brunch is probably not for you. Go for dinner and stick with what you know… sliders, pizza, salads, etc.

   As soon as we arrived the extremely loud music made it impossible to talk to the wait staff. The “buffet” itself was not plentiful. There was only one small piece of steak at the carving station and the taco bar was picked over. We ordered the oysters which were shucked poorly with a lot of shell pieces left, and the chicken was extremely salty and almost inedible. Thankfully the pancakes and poke tacos were decent so we were able to eat something. We didn’t get to try the cinnamon rolls because we were told they were out. At $45 per person we expected better quality food but were extremely disappointed. We will not be going to a Matchbox ever again.

   We arrived and were seated immediately. Very friendly staff. Our meals came out quickly after we ordered. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Overall, a very good experience and will absolutely return again.

   Everything was adequate, except the Shrimp Corn Salad. The Shrimp was kinda tasteless, very little spicing. The "Corn" portion of the DISH was NON-EXISTENT. Weird.

   Enjoyed mother's day dinner here. Something for grandparents, kids, and parents. The only issue was the music was way really loud so we had to almost shout to be heard. This was even after most of the room we were in had emptied

   Great experience, fantastic atmosphere and great service, Food was a little slow, but granted it was Mothers Day... I totally understood why it was a little slow. Will definitely come back.

    I agree with other reviews. The music was so loud. I suggest letting the DJ go and making the brunch cheaper. Service was not great. We never got 3 items we ordered and had to stand and wait almost 10min to be helped at the popcorn, cotton candy, and ice cream station. The mangers were friendly and tried to help. It was busy and crowded but if everyone got the service we did the crowd will fade. Some of the food was really good.
