★ 4.6 / 5 (427 reviews)

Nestled in a charming locale, this restaurant offers a mix of delightful food and a bustling atmosphere. While many patrons rave about the generous portions and delicious dishes that make it a favorite stop, others have experienced issues ranging from inconsistent service to uncomfortable temperatures. Some diners were frustrated by the inattentiveness of staff and cleanliness concerns, particularly regarding food safety. Despite these drawbacks, the restaurant continues to attract customers with its affordability and nostalgic ambiance. It remains a popular choice for families and travelers alike, though improvements in service and temperature control could elevate the dining experience significantly.

Was Lori Brady at Mateo's a mag?
This restaurant was a convenient stop on our journey back home. When we walked in, it was bustling with customers, and after trying the food, we understood why. The portions were generous and the dishes were delicious. The waiter was incredibly efficient and managed to keep up with the constant flow of customers. We would definitely make a point of stopping here again on our future trips to Door County. View all feedback.

What Steven Thurk dislikes about Mateo's:
The restaurant was uncomfortably cold at around 60 degrees, making it impossible to enjoy my breakfast even with a coat on. Our party of six was freezing, and this was the second time we experienced this chilliness at the restaurant. It's a shame because the restaurant itself is nice with good food and service, but we can't handle the cold temperatures. I don't think I'll be returning. View all feedback.

I enjoyed bringing my son here to celebrate his achievements at school. The food is consistently delicious and the affordable prices made our meal only cost $21! That's a great deal!
