They have done a really nice job with the building and atmosphere, and the waitresses' steam punk look certainly separates them from the sports bar options around. I like the menu and 50 craft beers on tap is terrific. However, this may be the loudest restaurant I have even been in which made conversation with our friends a challenge, and that is why we went out to dinner together.
There is a menu item for a 1/2 rack of ribs, and in the description it offers a full rack for $4.99 more. I ordered "the ribs", and ended up with the full rack. Maybe our waitress thought if she bumped up the check it would bump up her tip, or maybe it was so loud she couldn't hear me. Either way I did not appreciate it. We did not often see our waitress, but the bus boy did offer to clear my plate half-way through my meal.
I guess the bottom line is this is a nice addition to Matthews, and I hope they are successful. They have only been open a few weeks, so maybe some of the staff issues will shake themselves out. I am not sure what they can do about the noise level. Sitting outside may help when the weather is nice.
