The starter: 4.5/5 was the best on the table unfortunately. Pizza(porky fig): 3.5/5 not bad but it was overcooked Ribs: 0/5 super dry and unpleasant piggy flavor/ cornbread tasted like has be dropped into the water/ coleslaw was not flavored and reallynot fresh at all. Dessert: 2/5 textures was weird and watery Service: 2.5/5 I believe they are short staffed, I understand itmight take longer for the food waiting time. However, I don’t understand why not take away the empty plates and put thedessert under the pizza rack. The flies also are super annoying.

Great atmosphere and the pizza was excellent! The staff were very friendly. I thought they had a good selection of beer but their signature cocktails all seemed too “adventurous “ for me to try. Highly recommend though!

We had a great outdoor eating experience at Matchbox. I always loved their DC location and this was no different. Chicken pesto pizza and wings were great and they had an amazing veggie fruit cheese tray with peanut butter for our infant son.

The atmosphere was excellent and the service was good, but unfortunately, the food did not meet my expectations. This was the first time I've had chicken wings that were so bland. The shrimp platter was decent in taste, but considering it cost $21, I suggest examining the portion size before deciding whether to try it or not.

I visited Matchbox Charlottesville for happy hour and was impressed by their fantastic deals on cocktails and food. The drinks were excellent, and the pizza was absolutely perfect. The service was also outstanding. It was my first time there, and I really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for great cocktails and delicious food.
