I stopped in Mattie's on a Sunday morning in search of a cure for my hangover. I've always been intrigued by this little place, and do I mean little. I walked in and was surprised how small and quaint it was. Apparently they brought this diner all the way down here from New Jersey, pretty cool. It was a fun atmospere, but I cannot even imagine the craziness on a Fri/Sat or after a show.
The food was pretty mediocre in my opinion. I got the 'Junkyard' which is essentially a big breakfast bowl with chili. The chili was soupy and mild, but I like mine to be thick and spicy. The cheese wasn't melted on top either. I can't stand when I get something covered in cheese and it's not melted (the food wasn't exactly piping hot...). I expected ground sausage to be mixed in, but it was just 2 sausage patties thrown on top. I can make a breakfast bowl 10x better at my house.
I'll probably try it again late night after a show. I'm betting I'll enjoy it more.
