| - I went to Matt's BB for the first time last weekend. Took me a moment to get oriented - it's not immediately obvious if you present yourself inside to get on a list or not. The answer: not. You sign yourself in. Once we had that figured out, we waited - but not for as long as I thought. They certainly have an efficient little operation. The staff brought out menus for any large parties so the kitchen could start in on their order before they were seated.
Once inside, we were greeted warmly and had our orders taken promptly. My wife tried the special - an odd scramble of eggs, spinach and chicken sauage. She got hers with hashbrowns and some really nice, thick, fibrous toast. I had a few bites of her toast and was frankly tempted to order some for myself. I thought the hashbrowns were OK, but I am not crazy about hashbrowns.
I ended up with a bowl of their steel-cut oatmeal, which came with raisins and brown sugar (and milk), then got a side of the homefries. Sure glad I ordered that side - they were the highlight of the meal. Perfectly cooked, with nice big chunks of potato, slightly blackened, with fresh rosemary. Now, I am not always enthusiastic about rosemary. Can be too strong. But they'd added the perfect amount.
I commented to my wife that I could see coming there and having a couple orders of their homefries as my meal - they were that satisfying.
The oatmeal was also very tasty. I wasn't going to bother with it until I saw it was steel-cut. It was my first time having steel-cut oatmeal at a restaurant, and I enjoyed the contrast to the typical restaurant oatmeal.
Someone at the next table ordered the pancakes, and they looked fantastic.
Service was very attentive and efficient. We'll definitely be back.
