I live nearby, so I go here about once a month for lunch -- at sit-down meals with friends but more often for takeout on my own. The food is always very good and the service has always been friendly and efficient. Of the food, I especially like the pulled pork with johnny cakes and the chicken tenders, which really are tender and juicy inside a perfectly seasoned crust. The portions of these are huge; I always wind up having leftovers. In fact, I just now put a half-portion of chicken tenders in the freezer to have over the weekend. By the way, I notice that someone here said they didn't like the blue cheese coleslaw. Actually, that's one of my favorites, which I usually get instead of fries with my chicken tenders. read more

Matt and Tony's is pretty good. Loved the fish and how crunchy it was, plus the french fries were really good too. I'll be honest and say I didn't really like the coleslaw, I don't know why someone would put blue cheese in coleslaw but nonetheless the fish and chips were really good kind of wish they gave you just one more hush puppy but other than that, it was perfect! read more

I have to say this was unexpected in several little ways. The service and food were comfortable and quick. We were going to a concert at the Palace Theater and were just looking for something that was easy, close and fast. We got a neighborhood gem. It was early dinner so we got to watch regulars getting greeted and welcomed back as we waited for our order. It was pleasant and comfortable. I had a new item, a delicious Taco salad (the brisket tacos were my first choice but I didn't want to wear them to the concert). The chocolate cake should come with a warning label it was huge (picture included) and delicious. read more

Great local bar and restaurant with amazing service! Love their daily special especially their meatloaf!

its a bar/grill spot downtown, so it's going to be a bit pricy at worst and serviceable food at best. my chicken rigatoni alfredo was fine. it was a lunch-sized serving with poorly incorporated mix-ins. the whole meal was about 20$. this is the kind of place i'd go to because it's nearby, and never because i'm seeking it out. read more

Came here with a group of 13 for lunch. They didn't mind that we arrived in waves and ordered in waves. Our server was top notch with that and all the modifications. Even when food wasn't what we expected, she fixed it. Looks like they have a good patio. Small place. Daily specials. The BBQ chicken salad was enormous but fresh. Comes in a big bowl almost like a mixing bowl. Place seemed to be close to full for a Tuesday lunch. read more

I visited Matt and Tony's for the first time recently and I was pretty impressed. I dined with a large group for dinner. Our server was very friendly. I was surprised she was able to be personable and still manage to have time to serve a large group. To drink I had a pumpkin hot toddy and a pumpkin martini. I thought the martini was quite nice. My friend loved the toddy. I thought it was a bit too lemony. For dinner I ordered the salmon blt. It may have been the best salmon sandwich I've had. It was delicious! I also enjoyed a mozzarella stick my friend let me try. I definitely plan on going again and trying more menu items! read more

Came prior to the Blue Jackets game, super cute place. Food; Ordered the special roast beef open face plate, the mashed potatoes were really good. I will be honest still not sure on the roast beef, I think I was envisioning something different. We did add cheese sticks, and they were delicious. Wine was crisp and delicious. Service was great, our waiter was friendly and funny. read more

What an awesome birthday brunch... The decor is kind of cool, they have big screens and lots of windows so the atmosphere is really great. Our waiter Tim was a rock star - he was one of the best waiters i have had at any restaurant. The big matt burger was delicious and the Cole slaw was a great side choice. Wifie had the cobb salad with grilled chicken which she absolutely loved. The chocolate cake was out of this world. This is really a great place for a meal. read more

Made a reservation before a show at the Athenaeum, due to the good reviews and walking distance. Took a few minutes of standing at host station to be greeted with a "Have you been helped yet?" from a bartender, with only a promise that someone would be there soon. Another four minutes and our hostess finally arrived, somehow surprised to see us... showing up at our reservation time. Once we were seated, service was pretty good. We saw our server enough, but it wasn't too often. Food was okay, but nothing spectacular. Oddly enough the appetizers were the highlight of my meal - jalapeno cheddar hush puppies - and even they were a little overdone. My wife had the mozzarella sticks and let me try a bite, they were good as well. The chimi burger was good, but I think I expected a bit more--it tasted like a regular burger with just a little bit of sauce. It's a cool space with good food, worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

A Culinary Rollercoaster (That Occasionally Derailed) We kicked things off with the nacho appetizer, and honestly? Not bad at all. Crunchy, cheesy, and confident--like the restaurant wanted to impress us right out of the gate. It did. For a brief, glorious moment, hope was alive. Next came the M&T Salad, which continued the trend of "surprisingly decent." Fresh, crisp, and mercifully free of any weird surprises. It was the kind of salad that makes you feel virtuous without tasting like yard trimmings. Well played. Then came the General Tso's Chicken, which must've gotten the memo that it was General, because it led the charge into the desert of dryness. Paired with overcooked rice that could double as packing peanuts, it was a texture adventure I didn't sign up for. Then came the "filet"--or what I assume was supposed to be a filet. It was overcooked, suspiciously textured, and left me wondering if someone just labeled it "filet" for fun. If it was a filet, it was a distant cousin that got left out of the will. BUT--in the midst of this food-based identity crisis--we were lucky enough to have a waitress who absolutely crushed it. Friendly, attentive, and somehow managing to keep the whole table smiling despite the ups and downs coming out of the kitchen. And hey, silver lining: my son loved the spaghetti. My son demolished it with a joy I haven't seen since Saturday morning cartoons. If the kitchen cooked everything with the same love they put into the kids' pasta, this place would be unstoppable. In summary: strong start with the nachos and salad, a tragic middle act involving poultry and beef imposters, top-tier service, and a final act redeemed by a kid's menu classic. If you're under ten or just really into spaghetti, this place might be a five-star experience. read more

First-timer to Matt and Tony's and ordered the Taco Salad via UberEats for $17.48, based on the reviews and, as a vegetarian, appreciating the option for "no meat". The ample portion was as it should be given the price, but the careless jerk that prepared the salad didn't top it with the Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses, as described, and essential for a taco salad and what I paid for, particularly annoying, given the fact that I opted for no meat, at same price as with it. read more

First time trying. Had mozzarella sticks and cheddar/jalapeño hush puppies and a pimento cheese burger with fries. Mozzarella sticks were AMAZING!! And the rest of the food was very good. Cheeseburger had regular cheese melted on it as well as the pimento cheese--very tasty! Will be back read more

When in Columbus, my fiancé and decided to stop by Matt and Tony's for a quick dinner before heading to OtherWorld for an adventure. We were very pleased by the jalapeño hush puppies. They were soft inside, crunchy on the outside, and when dipped into cheese sauce, they reminded us of jalapeño poppers. I enjoyed mine more without the sauce, though! This was truly the highlight of our meal. I ordered the Bistro Shrimp pasta dish which, while the shrimp was well-fried and breaded, the lemon sauce and pasta weren't much to talk about. I ate my shrimp with a little of the pasta and tomatoes, but I didn't want to take any pasta home with me. I wish I liked my razzlerita cocktail, but I wasn't really thrilled by the flavors. Though my server told me it was a sweet drink, it really wasn't. My fiancé liked his snakebite pasta, which wasn't bad, but had too much spice for me. The ambiance was nice with songs that we recognized from the 80s and 90s. However, despite having high hopes for this place, the food really wasn't all that good. We wouldn't return. read more

M&Ts was very nice. The place wasn't loud; atmosphere was good as was the food except the ciabatta bun on the portobello mushroom sandwich was too hard to bite and to cut. Sandwich kept falling apart and as it was on parchment paper i was getting that torn up with sandwich as i was cutting and prob ate some. Ugh. But otherwise it was good. Key lime pie was also good. And our server was personable and efficient. TY read more

We were downtown at the Columbus Museum of Art and looking for somewhere to have lunch. As is my ususal MO, I checked Yelp for "burgers near me" and found Matt and Tony's Kitchen X Tavern. It was a short walk from the art museum and a a beautiful October day. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to dine on the patio in mid-October but the day was beautful and Matt and Tony's has a really nice patio. My wife ordered the Chimi Burger which is billed as "two smashed-cooked patties topped with Monterey Jack cheese, avocado mousse, caramelized onions, smoked bacon, and house-made chimichurri sauce on a butter-toasted bun". It was served with fries. My wife is not quite the burger freak that I am but she said the burger and the fries were excellent - quite a compliment from her. I opted for the Texas BB Burger which is billed as "two smash-cooked patties topped with smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, homemade BBQ sauce, and hand-cut onion straws on a butter-toasted bun". It was also served with fries. Now - I AM a burger geek (or freak) and this was an excellent burger - definitely makes my "top ten" list for burgers. The fries were cooked perfectly - nice and crisp on the outside. Service was excellent, the prices were reasonable and we enjoyed a beautiful October afternoon on the patio. read more

Out for a few errands and the wife and I were both starving. We had planned to hit happy hour at Old Towne tavern, but it was 615 and the place was packed. We decided to check out Matt and Tony's based on reviews and who doesn't like a good burger and beer? Walked in, was greeted promptly and seated without a wait. They have a good local draft selection and a fairly large wine and cocktail menu. We started with the fried pickles (which are bread and butter) and I thought they were pretty good, but she prefers fried to be dill; agree to disagree. I ordered the Texas BBQ smash burger and she had the pimento smash burger; bitch are very good, but the pimento is quite messy! Tasty fries, but the ranch could be a bit thicker for dipping. All in all, I'll be back and hope you will give them a chance. Matt and Tony's, you're Mike Jones certified! read more

The name and menu have changed but this is still an excellent place for dining and drinks. They have a great and reasonably priced wine selection and some nice bourbons as well. The food menu offers a a lot of variety. I ended up going with the burrito and it was filling and very good and priced well. Service is excellent. The space itself has a cozy feel and plenty of seating. It is a little chilly inside so I wore my coat for my entire meal but I liked the decor and the setup. Parking is limited but there are meters nearby. Overall, an excellent place for dinner. read more

We came here a few times when it was another brand. Similar menu, same look. We had soup and salad and chicken salad with a side salad. Ok stuff. We had service issues. We expressed our concerns to the server, who pretty much didn't care, and to the manager who was apologetic in a condescending way. Not a good look for either. Bathrooms were edging towards horrendous. With so many choices in the general area, maybe we'll be back, maybe not. read more

We stopped here due to the reviews that pat and Gracie's had and found out to had changed names. The homemade potato tots were good. The burger was juicy and the Lynne chicken sandwich had so many layers of flavor. The homemade Mac n cheese was a bowl of creamy goodness. Not a bite was left. The down side to the meal was our serves. It took forever for our sandwiches to come and the server gave an excuse that the burger was over cooked. Oddly enough you weren't able to request how you wanted the burger cooked. I think the server forgot to put our food in and made an excuse. She would have been better off being honest. read more

Super cute little restaurant tucked behind some others. I'm glad I was able to go try it out! The inside looks really nice and I like the decorations! We were seated right away by the hostess. They have a full bar and the food is more bar food for sure. We got the "Buckeye" pretzel bites and a fried chicken sandwich with fries. The pretzels are in the shape of a Buckeye and it's so cute!! The sandwich was good but the fries won my heart. Super crispy and perfectly seasoned. We got beers and some mixed drinks. The beer is about $6-$7 and a wells mixed drink is only $5-$6 regular priced!! They also have some daily specials. Cute little place for a chill dinner! read more

Pat & Gracies has been on our list for quite a while now. We finally made it in! And it was totally worth the hype! My sister actually worked there for a little while and told me they don't freeze anything! They don't even have a freezer. Everything is fresh and made in house! The place looks really cool to start off. Has a decent amount of parking, which is really nice. Both a small lot and some on street parking out front (metered). Soooo many things on the menu sounded delicious. It was really hard to decide what we wanted. We will definitely have to go back again soon to try more things! I went with my husband and a friend and we all shared so we could try more things! We started out with the chorizo cheese dip. Wow was it good!! Great cheers to meet ratio. And the chorizo was on point. My only complaint is that the chips were alittle thin. Didn't stand up to the amazing dip well lol. Kept breaking off. They were still warm and delicious tho. For the entrees. I went with the chimi burger. Wow it was good!!! The burger was great. The cheese was great. The chimi was great. So juicy and delicious. My fries could have been alittle more well done for my liking, but they were decent. My friends were cooked longer. They were better. Speaking of my friend. She got the Johnny cakes. Omg they were delicious. We were unsure about the blue cheese slaw, but it wasn't overpowering at all. My husband decided on spicy chicken sandwich, our friend said it was the best. My husband loved it. I actually didn't try this one because he said it was a little too spicy for me lol. He did enjoy it thoroughly though! read more

Last night my friends and I went to Pat and Gracies for restaurant week. We called ahead and made a reservation a week before coming and when we arrived they had everything setup for us. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice as the restaurant is fancy and makes you feel like you are fine dining without the crazy prices. The options for restaurant week were Lobster Mac and Cheese, Chicken and Prime Rib. Two of the three were not on the regular menu which I found rather weird. I ordered Prime Rib which came with a salad and dessert. When I got my Prime Rib, my mashed potatoes were lukewarm which was rather disappointing. Whenever I order food I expect it to be ready to eat and they were not. I let our waiter know about this and he brought me a second plate to put my Prime Rib on and took my mashed potatoes back to maybe microwave. Anyway it came back ready for me to eat and since it's still Covid I would've preferred brand new mashed potatoes. Overall I had a good experience and am willing to come back with maybe a different waiter as he wasn't very friendly and order something different. Attached is a picture of my Moscow mule. Enjoy read more

Pay and Gracie's did an amazing job for us today. The to go order was packed well. The Chimi Burger didn't photograph well but was delicious. They are taking health and safety extremely seriously, from the moment you enter the cramped lot to the moment you leave. The bacon cheeseburger was a bit medium for our taste, but still well cooked. The fries with the bacon cheese burger were plentiful and amazing. Having them on the side was a thoughtful way to ensure they stayed warm. The broccoli cheddar soup tasted very creamy. Ample crackers and plastic utensils were provided as well. A delightful afternoon meal. read more
