| - I love how places like this are giving us non beef, pork, and meat eaters the option to indulge in their savory selections!!! This is the perfect place for a quick lunch if you are in the mood for a hot dog. They also have other offerings, which I hear are amazing as well.
Yesterday I got the veggie dog Carolina style with the hand cut fries. When I first saw my basket I thought "I see what that yelper meant by small portions". However, it is a perfect portion and just right for a lunch. I left feeling like my hunger was appeased and not like I needed a nap. For an American diet yes it is a "small" portion because it's not a heaping platter of food that you don't really need. I'm not saying the food is healthy because, well, fried potatoes lol. I am saying that for me a portion conscious eater it was just right!
The veggie dog was delicious! I almost thought it was beef for a second but it didn't have that nasty beefy bloody taste. The slaw was perfect, and the mustard and onion satisfied my Carolina craving. I really loved how the fries weren't salted. Maybe they just forgot, but I hate salty fries because I love ketchup and there's plenty of salt for me there.
I came around 11:30 which was a perfect time if you are like me and want to beat the lunch rush, which is a really big deal downtown with so many options to choose from and the pleasantries of the Overstreet Mall. Matts isn't located in the "mall", it is on The Green, which is not as crowded as other areas downtown (maybe because it's not in the center of the uptown area).
Amazing food, great location, great people and a park... what more do you need to get you through the day?! I will definitely be back to try other items!
