| - YAY! Tilted Kilt in Matthews. I think if you take the place for what it is, it's great but if you are expecting something else you won't have such a good time here. Went here for drinks and dinner with a buddy and we were warmly greeted by the hostess and then lead around the restaurant. She had our best interest in mind since we really didn't care where we sat, but I think one of the girls was going to sit us at a bench high top with another large group of people and the other girl thought otherwise and sat us at a nice 6 person table instead. As we were sitting down, the girl asked us if we were still in school/college and we were very flattered since we are about 8 years out of college at this point - but we will take anything we can get. ;)
Our server, Asia... was nice and attentive. You could tell she just started working there since she hadn't really gotten the routine yet - after she got our drinks, she sat at our table and chatted with us and asked us for our IDs.... and then asked for our drink orders again (but corrected herself).
For a Thursday night, this place was pretty packed watching college games, UFC fight, or various other sports on all the TVs that surround the entire restaurant. We ordered food - I ordered the Irish Cheese steak and it was gi-normous. The onion rings I "upgraded" my fries from were worth it. Light on the batter and nice and crispy.
I'd say this is a solid place to get a drink with good pub food. I wouldn't go in here if you are expecting excellent food and white table cloth service. The girls are nice and their uniforms are revealing. A little less "I like the wings at Hooters" and more "I want Britney Spears to serve me Irish food". So yes, it's fun just to watch the waitstaff in action. I can see where some ladies might get the wrong impression since it is advertised as a Pub & Eatery, but it is a pretty large chain so people should figure it out pretty quickly.
All the gimmicks aside. I think it's great that Matthew's has this option as a restaurant, but the businesses around Independence have been rather hard to keep unless you are a super big restaurant chain.
