| - Loyalist is a new modern provisions market in Mathews. They have a nice counter and ample seating for lunch and dinner. So, I really like this type of place, I will admit ahead of time, just the setup and offerings are what I am all about. The menu consists of meat and cheese boards, sandwiches and a few apps and salads. They follow that with a solid wine and beer selection, all in bottles and cans, no draft but not needed. The alcohol is a small variety but high quality and clearly the product of someone that is making an effort to have good beer and wine. We really enjoyed the meat and cheese plate we ordered. The offerings were eloquently explained by our waitress. The first thing we noticed was how plentiful the accoutrements were on the board. Marcona almonds, honey, lusty monk mustard, dried apricots and a few others. It was a solid selection of two meats and three cheeses, including a smoked blue cheese that was something I have never had. We watched what appeared to be the owner making a huge catering board that looked incredible. I grabbed a half pound salami and Benton's bacon to go as well, the wife got some UAV ricotta. We can't wait to go back, I love this place!
