Went here for lunch and the food and atmosphere was great! I was wary because the reviews weren't great but they were not too busy during lunchtime (we got our food relatively fast) and staff were really polite and attentive. To start we got the Irish nachos which were 10/10! Loved how some bites were crispier / thicker cut than others and the tomatoes added freshness. I got the 1885 chicken sandwich (AMAZING) & the Brussels sprouts (alright). My sister got the steak sandwich a truffle fries. Fries and chicken sandwich were really good. The steak sandwich was good but heavy for lunch and likely would've been better at dinnertime and paired well with a beer, though neither of us got drinks. Overall a good experience. read more

Sent them this via email, but never got a response. Wouldn't recommend this place. First, the high chair we were provided has a buckle that is completely broken. We decided to overlook that. We did let the staff know but were told that the only other option was a booster seat which unfortunately our child is not big enough for. Second, my wife and I thought it was just us, but the acoustics are not great. This was exemplified when I heard my wife order a martini, and the waitress ask what kind of tequila. The waitress then brought my wife a margarita. We politely sent the margarita back. Third, we noticed the table next to us ordered a crab dip. My wife and I thought oh that looks good. Why didn't we see that on our menu? We asked the waitress and she said that was from the limited menu. Well our menus did not have the limited menu insert. They both had a dessert menu insert. We asked to see the limited menu and instantly regretted what we had ordered. My wife would have loved to try the lamb pops and I would have ordered the Wagyu beef cheeseburger. We expressed this to our waitress who said we could replace our meals. As we were about to order the food we wanted, our order came out so we reluctantly accepted the original food. When the manager came around, I thought what a great opportunity to let him know of their mistake and perhaps rectify it. As a former server and manager, I would have, at the very least, offered to comp an appetizer, one of our meals, or one of the four drinks my wife ordered Nothing was offered. We received an apology which was nice. For a first visit and for $100+ dollars we spent, we are not sure we'd come back and can't recommend your restaurant. There were many opportunities to make us as the customers feel special especially after all the mixups. The apology and shrugged shoulders left us disappointed. read more

So disappointed they took the rack of ribs and fried mozzarella cheese off their new menu. The fried cheese was the best one I've ever had! Those were my and my husband's favorite items, and when they redid the menu, they removed them. Otherwise, it's a great place and the burgers are good. Hoping they bring some of the old items back! read more

Jekyll and Hyde Taphouse Grill - Fried cheese - Bars Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

The food is just alright. Our waiter was great! Her really tried to make sure we were happy with our food. My husband's drink was not great all. They had to make it three times to get it right. I ordered the salmon dish with whipped potatoes and broccolini. The salmon was dry and I had to spit out the mash potatoes because I felt like I was eating a chunk of butter. He did replace it with a baked potato. My food had no taste at all. The ambiance is welcoming. For the price that we pay for food , there should be a head chef checking to make sure food is prepared and seasoned well!!!! read more

Jekyll and Hyde Taphouse Grill - Whipped potatoes - Bars Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Spent Saturday evening downtown Matthews with a friend and decided to give Jekyll and Hyde a second chance. It's a cute restaurant with a patio and live music was playing the night I visited. We had a great waitress who was thoughtful and attentive. I ordered a plain burger and brussel sprouts. The burger was great this time around. The brussel sprouts were ok, more on the vinegar based side than I'm used too. Our waitress returned them and we got different sides. The broccolini was amazing. The fries were ok since some were not completely cooked. The burger in the photo doesn't look like much but it was 9 out 10 in my book. read more

We are members of a HOG chapter and we do a social every month. We chose Jekyll and Hyde because in the past they had really good Halloween decorations. This night a group of 11 went to the restaurant and there were no decorations at all. Very disappointed. Our severer was fantastic but the cooks dropped the ball. I asked for no onions on my prime rib sandwich and I got onions. Another in our party asked for their steak to be medium and came out well. Another got a filet and baked potato and it was cold and not done. The burgers that were ordered came out good. They did take the food off our bills. We have been several times and never had an issue. That's why we chose the restaurant. Just was a disappointment tonight. read more

Tried it again. Updated menu. Same inattentive service. Took 10 minutes to seat us when the resturant was at 25% capacity since the girl at the front desk thought the phone call was more important. Got the food. The Grilled Chicken was cold as where the fries. The wings were fine, but given the service, food quality they will not get a third chance to redeem themselves. read more

This the third location we have tried out while visiting Charlotte. Probably my least favorite of the three. Don't get me wrong, the food was just as good as the others, which is excellent. 3 beers I tried to order off their list weren't really there, and in trying to be helpful the waitress "suggested" something else that was a completely different style and I let it happen, and wished I hadn't We were there at lunch on a Friday and it certainly wasn't crowded but service was a bit slow. Man I loved that Jack the Ripper burger though! And my wife's steak sandwich warmed up the next day great for leftovers. read more

Jekyll and Hyde Taphouse Grill - Jack the Ripper Burger - Bars Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Service was AWFUL at the bar on a Friday - staff was focused on table drink orders and we sat there for 15 minutes before they acknowledged us. The cherries in my drink were so rancid I had to spit them out. I ordered the shrimp risotto and it came out looking like Japanese hibachi rice with undercooked scallops that smelled fishy. We also ordered Shepard's pie that came out cold with unmelted cheese. I don't recommend. read more

Great time with our group of 6. I loved my Luck Of The Irish cocktail that bubbles up and released "smoke" (they make it with dry ice that is sectioned off at the bottom of the glass) - total wow factor! We also loved the large Bavarian pretzel with 2 dipping sauces - great for sharing! Everyone enjoyed their meals - mine was a steak and arugula salad and I added a piece of salmon for an additional $9 to get extra protein. The British steam punk decor is fun - like the pipe toilet paper holder and the wall of books leading to the bathroom. Service was perfect! read more

I've been to this location twice. Both times I thought the food and drinks were overpriced, and honestly not very good. The ambiance is what looks to be a bunch of AI art, which is something Im not fond of. I found one of the girls working there to be a little rude, but I also noticed all of the employees I saw working there looked to be 19-20, so maybe it's their first service industry job. I don't like leaving bad reviews, maybe this place just wasn't for me, but I wanted to say something because maybe this place isn't for you too. read more

Steak & bake potato & green bean came cold. Price high for cold food. No compensation

Probably a great place to chat and have a beer. Not much of a menu but nice atmosphere.

Friendly service. Enjoyed the ambiance (would make for a great Halloween dinner outing). I tried the blackberry bramble drink and it tasted a bit more tart than I liked. Our server offered to add some simple syrup which I appreciated. I also had the Reuben. It was good, though I wish the bread stayed more toasty - the heat/moisture sort of made the bread damp. Overall, a bit pricier than I would hope for but would return again. read more

Went to a concert in Charlotte and stayed in Matthews. When the concert ended at 9:30, out options in Matthews for a bite to eat was limited. We landed at J and H at 10:15 (open to 11). Was a little concerned because the bartender was not very attentive. After about 10 minutes she grabbed her purse and left. The other bartender stepped up and asked what we wanted. Everything changed! Laney was great, first with cocktails and then quickly getting us our food. Ordered the artichokes and was a little disappointed. The best I can say was they were okay. Little dry and could have used a sauce. Split a sandwich and was great. Overall nice environment, good food and service good (finally) read more

This business hosted a Father's Day car show advertised as a fundraiser benefiting Bullies 2 the Rescue. Unfortunately, the proceeds that were promised to the rescue were never received. The check issued by the business was returned, and despite the opportunity to correct the situation, it has not been made right. I believe businesses should be held accountable when they ask the community to support a charitable cause. Because of this, I will no longer be supporting this business. I'm extremely disappointed by how this was handled. read more

My granddaughter is highly allergic to shellfish so we always stop to get her food from somewhere else. Today we went to Jekyll and Hyde, as we were waiting to order the manager approached letting us know we could not have out of restaurant food, we explained about the allergy but he would not relent. Needless to say we left but as we were leaving a customer had two out of restaurant drinks. Totally unacceptable. We will not be returning ever!! read more

Sunday Brunch was awesome. I enjoyed my "Mother's day brunch" and my Server Mary was very professional and nice. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the my meal: Irish Nachos and Breakfast Burrito with my family and watch others order unique appetizers like Candy Bacon.... Try for yourself. read more

Lauren and Aubrey and Sam are the best! Let's go to great service and great gals. Keep it up ladies

The food was awful. I ordered a steak and it was barely edible. Super greasy, thin, overcooked. My husband got the fish and chips and it was clear as day that it was some sort of frozen, low-quality packaged fish. It almost looked like it was ground up raw fish shoved in a small can or mold, pushed out and then fried. It was perfectly cylindrical. He ended up not eating it. We both kind of just shook our heads, paid the bill and left. The service was good, but we won't be back. read more

After randomly running into a old friend from a decade ago, we decided to meet for dinner. I was a first timer here. She'd been a few times before and had great experiences. The restaurant is cozy and offers classic comfort food. The restaurant itself is adorned with rustic-ish decor, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that adds to the overall dining experience. I ordered the delicious Shepherd's Pie and my friend had the Fish and Chips. Now I'm certain that this place is a local go-to spot for a hearty and satisfying meal. We started with an appetizer. The candied bacon. Four large and very thick pieces of bacon. A tad salty for my taste, but also deliciously sweet. I see how it could be a fan fave, but I stopped after one piece while my friend enjoyed the rest. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie. This dish is the epitome of comfort. It'll warm your soul. The serving is huge. The picture does it no justice. You'll be stuffed if you can manage to eat the whole thing. The meat and potatoes in the Shepherd's Pie was already too much, and I still asked for a side of bread. I'm human. Our waiter, Cameron, gave me a toasted bun which was perfect. Moving on to the Fish and Chips, while it may not steal the spotlight like the Shepherd's Pie, it still held its own. My friend finished her dish and said it was fantastic. I also tried the Heated Affair. The drink itself was amazing. It would have been absolute perfection for me if the glass were filled a tad bit more to make it a standard serving size, and if it had a sugar rim. All in all, the delish food and our excellent server made us have a wonderful experience. read more

Wow! This place has it all!!! Really nice steampunk decor, cool music, great cocktail/drink options, and amazing food!!!! Went here recently with my best friend and we were not disappointed at all!!! Our waiter was so kind and helpful when we were picking our drink and menu options!!! We were asking what he thought was best and could tell he was being honest, because he didn't even pick out the most expensive item, like other waiters might have done at other places. We both got drinks and water to start, both drinks tasted absolutely amazing!!! They tasted quality if that makes sense, it wasn't all just alcohol, you could tell somebody really put time and effort into those drinks. Which we appreciated! We shared some Irish nachos, and all I can say is just get them!!! They are the homemade type of potato chips, but not all greasy like at other places, these were perfectly crispy and just right!!!! They were smothered generously in beer cheese, fresh peppers, some kind of magical avocado ranch or something- I don't know...whatever it was it was just magical. They give you a huge portion!!!! And we ate it allllllll, that's how good it was!!! I ordered fish and chips as an entree and was not disappointed. I got the truffle fries or chips as they call it, and they were very flavorful!!!! The fish was cooked and fried beautifully, I mean this was just amazing and fresh food!! My bestie ordered some kind of sausage plate per our waiter's recommendation, and she was amazed by her entree! It was gorgeous and delicious she said! Now, our waiter explained to us some cool facts about the place after we sat down and ordered, we did spend some $$$$$ at this place, but it was well worth it! We sat on the English side which is more of a classy, sit-down style with that kind of vibe, but on the other side there's a more casual bar type section, with a more laid back and relaxed vibe...the Irish/Scottish part. I think I am remembering that correctly. We will probably try that section next time just to see what it's like. Our waiter said it's decorated a bit differently, they play different music, and it even has different bricks on that side, which was interesting. We will be back!!!! The food was definitely quality and the customer service was exceptional! Highly recommend!!! read more

We stopped by Jekyll and Hyde for a beer & appetizer one Saturday afternoon. It is a little outside the Matthews main drag and down the hill but worth the extra short walk! I really liked it here! They have a large beer selection with several taps featuring local beer. We ordered a chicken bacon ranch flatbread and it was really good! The toppings were piled high and drizzled with ranch as well as hot sauce. We really liked the flavors here. It was a tad difficult to eat with your hands, and I ended up taking a fork to it. I want to go back and try more things, will report back. read more

first time here! odd that it only has 3.5 stars, we were very satisfied!! our server was nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. we had the fried zucchini (standout!), blt salad with grilled chicken (perfect summer dinner), and fish and chips (with sweet potato waffle fries). food came quick and hot. manager came over and introduced himself. talked for a minute, not obtrusive. nice good laid back friday night dinner!! only very small qualm was that it was pretty warm inside (thermostat said 83), but i'm sure their a/c is just trying to keep up with the hot weather. sure to be back! read more

I went on a Friday night. It was relatively busy but no wait. Like 3 waitresses walked by the hostess stand without a "hello" or "someone will be right with you"before the hostess returned to the stand. The manager, Sarah, is a gem of a person. Lots of personality and she seems to really care about this place. The food was good- not special- but good. I had the maple bacon burger with onion rings. It was cooked well and the flavors were on point. The others in my party had the rotisserie chicken. It looked great and they both enjoyed it. read more

They know exactly what they are doing and they take you on a delicious journey. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie, my first time having it and I'm so glad I had it here! The chocolate cake is just okay but wow the Shepherd's Pie had chucks of potato which made it exciting. I now will forever love Shepherd's Pie thanks to Jekell & Hyde! read more

I have been a patron of this establishment for years, and it pains me to say that I will not be returning until there is a serious change in management. The food and atmosphere are not the problem--the issue lies entirely with the way this place is currently being run. The current manager has created an environment that feels unprofessional, chaotic, and downright unpleasant for both guests and staff. Instead of being attentive and supportive, the leadership is dismissive, unapproachable, and gives the impression that customer concerns are an inconvenience rather than a priority. It's clear that the staff are doing their best, but their efforts are being undermined by poor direction and an obvious lack of respect from management. What was once an enjoyable, reliable spot has now become a place I can no longer recommend. Until there is new leadership in place--someone who values both customers and employees--I won't be spending another dollar here. Management makes or breaks an establishment, and right now, it's breaking this one. read more

Very eclectic decor and the staff is dressed for it! I would have given 5 stars as the food was amazing. But the service wasn't very good. I ordered a chocolate martini and husband was offered a sample of a beer. After 10-15 minutes I was informed that they were missing one of the ingredients for the martini so I switched. While waiting for the drinks (we still had not received the beer sample), our food arrived. Well, most of it. Hubby and I were both missing our sides. We finally received the martini and the sample about the time I said to my husband "maybe I should just cancel the drink". Food had great flavors and we will definitely be back. I just hope they work out the service kinks read more

We decided to try this place again after having been here once previously. It was a disappointing dinner. The service was good and our waitress was prompt. However, the food was mediocre and very overpriced. We did like the zucchini fries as an appetizer which were crispy, tasty, and hot. . I ordered the Limerick onion soup . It was tasty, but came out lukewarm, which was disappointing. They did, however, take that off the tab. My b/f ordered a ribeye which was listed at market price, but was outrageously priced at $44.50. He said there was nothing special about it. We won't be back again anytime soon, especially not at these exorbitant prices. There are many other better restaurants in the Charlotte area. read more

Went for dessert and Irish coffee tonight. An hour before closing, hostess tried to talk us out of staying. Server forgot some of our order and told us she was closing check at 8:10 (close at 9). No apology for forgetting drinks. Gee, sorry for bothering you with our patronage! Next time Grace O'Malleys! read more

it was a bit of a throwback day when I met Sarah here for lunch. I went to Matthews School when it was grades 1 to 12. Yep, it was a while back and I still have lots of memories of this town. Of course, it has changed a lot over the years but it's still a town with a lot of charm and character. When I asked Sarah, what was her fav Matthews place for lunch, this is the place she recommended. We got there at 1130a and there was hardly anyone there on a Saturday. It was the first nice day we've had in nearly a month so as the clocked ticked the place filled up. We both had the Guinness onion soup which was excellent I wanted to try something that was traditional Irish so I got the Shepherd's Pie and it was really good. I couldn't quite go 5 starts on this place but it was close. It gets very, very loud to the point where you can't have a conversation with someone sitting right across the table. The real story here is the service. We had a server named Joshua J who was just excellent. A real pro in every way. I even told the Manager the same. Sarah said she's had him as a Server before and he's always been good. I like the easy access of the main road and they have a really big dedicated parking lot. They also have some nice outdoor seating options when the weather allows and they have the garage type doors that open up for fresh air. The menu is extensive and if you come on the weekend, you have the option of selecting the brunch menu or anything off the full menu as well. Great experience and I would recommend it. read more

Jessica was amazing! Great service, can't wait to go back! The food was absolutely amazing.

Oh man! Wow! Visited this location on a Saturday afternoon with my significant other, we wanted a couple of drinks so we stopped in- & I mean, meh. Bartenders weren't exactly inviting there today! I ordered Jekyll's margarita, it had hints of cinnamon and vanilla! It was tasty. I've had the food in the past it wasn't anything to write home about but wasn't terrible either. I wished our bartenders were a little friendlier to say the least! Especially with the price tag- I did notice that if you were alone, you had a better reaction from bar staff. The last drink my significant other got, we gracefully had the bartender throw a napkin at him! The drinks we ordered before, we grabbed our own napkins ‍ I probably won't rush back. The ambiance is a cool steampunk vibe! Oh yeah- (just from surrounding customers asking around me) I learned this isn't the place for you if you want to order Bud light, Budweiser or Coors lol read more

Jekyll and Hyde Taphouse Grill - Jekyll's margarita - Bars Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

My wife and I ate there yesterday late morning. I had the corned beef hash which was excellent and she had a burger which she claimed was a bit better than one from our favorite place (just 'down the street'). Service was very good (we sat in the bar area). Also, I had been into a Jekyll & Hyde's a few years ago and the beer selection was ok. That certainly turned around as IMO this place has the best beer selection in Waxhaw. Based on the above I'd rate our visit at 4.5. One serious concern however, that I hope they're addressing, is the health score/rating which was a 91.6. Over the years, from digging into what's behind that score and what is considered a 'safe' cut off, if we see a rating below 94 we usually turn around and walk out. We obviously ignored that rule yesterday but if that score doesn't improve we probably wouldn't return. read more

Greats seats and good music but off to a rocky start. If you are going to provide the lunch menu with the dinner it's probably best to explain that that food isn't available or better yet split the menu between lunch and dinner as is customary. My kids is easy with food so he switched on the fly but after a tough day he wanted a Ruben that wasn't available. Service was great! Great beer selection. Started with zucchini frites for an app. Tasty and piping hot. They're working on recouping some stars with these zuke frites! We both ordered a classic burger medium. I got a house salad with parm & peppercorn dressing as a side. Hopefully they bring the salad before the burger.... Nope... I had to ask for it. Great salad so recoup a bit more. The burgers arrived and mine was over cooked. Medium should be pink on the inside. This burger was more on the done side. For the sake of timing getting to the game I gobbled it up. They did suggest a good beer and the waitress was nice and prompt bringing the bill. Overall, not too bad of an experience. This won't be my first choice for dinner but if someone suggestions it I will give it another try. Thanks! read more

Jekyll and Hyde is a great spot in downtown Matthews. They have outdoor and indoor seating, TVs to watch the latest game and a nice drink menu! We stopped in for lunch. We were seated right away and ordered draft Guinness and draft Prosecco. We ordered off of the lunch menu and got the seared ahi tuna, chicken tenders and grilled chicken wrap. The food came out pretty quickly and everything tasted really good! We will be back! read more
