ServiceAfter attending the parade, we stopped by Matchbox for brunch. We were seated quickly, but it took a little while for the waiter to attend to us. Once prompted, they came over and offered helpful recommendations.TasteOn the waiter's suggestion, we tried the catfish and grits as well as the huevos rancheros. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and came out quickly. They were so good, we found ourselves wanting more!AmbianceMatchbox is a great spot for both small and large groups. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for brunch. Its location is also convenient for exploring the nearby shopping area after your meal.RecommendationWith its flavorful dishes, reasonable prices, and great location, Matchbox is an excellent choice for brunch. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

The only downside to this experience was the traffic to get there. The parking was a snap in the Wayne St Garage with a very short walk to the restaurant.We went on a Tuesday night so there was no wait.Our server MayLan was great! She was fun and knew the menu well. She served as bartender and made our drinks perfectly. Jalapeño Margarita and a Spicy caramel lemonade. We then had our food tapa style. Everything was delicious...spinach and artichoke dip followed by street corn followed by bacon Blanc flatbread. We feel in love and Joe to be back soon.

Breakfast Brunch for New Years. Convent location from the Marriott and Parking garage. Enjoyed the All American breakfast with 3 eggs, French toast, potatoes and bacon. My wife had waffle and chicken which was also very tasty. Nice set up and good service.

Decent food with subpar service.I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon to watch football. I sat at the bar for 10 minutes without service until I stared down the bartender. I could tell everyone was having the same experience. It wasn't very busy and there were less than 8 people at the bar but she was making drinks for the entire restaurant. I had the fig and prosciutto pizza which was okay. Just okay. I also had a gin cocktail that wasn't good. Another disappointing restaurant taking up space in great real estate. I just want better for downtown silver spring.

Came here for an early weekday dinner with a friend who was staying nearby. They had both indoor and outdoor seating, and we got a comfortable booth inside. Waitress was super friendly, but the food was mediocre. The crab dip to start was pretty good. While my white pizza wasn't bad, it wasn't great- fairly dry. My friend's crab cake sandwich was also fine. However, the waitress made sure our drinks were full and was very enthusiastic, and had no issues splitting our check. Overall, we had a decent experience, even if the food was not memorable.

The service, the food, and the location of this Matchbox all deserve an A+. The menu choices are awesome. You pretty much can't go wrong with anything you select. But, the pizza, brussel sprouts, and cornbread are three of my favorites. The ambiance is conducive to a family outing, girls/guys meet-up, or date night. Stop in before or after a good movie or some retail therapy. Happy eating.

To start, I really did not want to leave this review. However, I must say I am extremely upset with the service that was presented with today. I am only giving them one star for the manager Ty because he was a delight. This is the worst brunch I have experienced. We had a 4pm reservation and were not served any food or drink until closer to 5pm to which our server said they started stopped serving all brunch items. She barely paid attention to our table and did not have direct answers for our questions which prompted us to ask for a manager. We shall NEVER return to this location unless Ty is our server.
