    Hot Artichoke + Spinach Dip
    William H.

    Matchbox is always a hit or miss with service and food. We love their Spinach Dip but they keep changing the bread. Now it is too thin to scoop the dip. They also change the fries and they look sad and soggy now. At least they kept the Nashville chicken the same. I also like their pizza. Recently tried their southern fried chicken and it was crispy but those two pieces is equivalent to a bucket of KFC, Popeyes or Jollibee. Not really worth the price. As for service, Russian Roulette. Lucky get an attentive waiter or bad got one running all over the places and you have to chase down for refills.

    Pepperoni Hot Honey
    Renee D.

    Ordered the pepperoni & hot honey pizza, buffalo wings, and a Caesar salad -- with a crisp glass of Prosecco to keep things classy. The pizza was solid, but I was searching for the "hot" in that hot honey and didn't quite find it. The wings had great flavor but could've used more crunch -- I like my buffalo wings with a serious crisp. The Caesar salad was pretty basic -- nothing bad, just nothing memorable. Shoutout to Carlos, our waiter, who was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and made the experience smooth. Also, Prosecco with wings, pizza, and Caesar? A surprisingly great combo. Overall, a good casual spot with solid service and a nice vibe, but a couple tweaks to the kitchen execution would've made it a standout.

    Vege pizza

    Stopped here on a Saturday night and got right in on the patio next to the bar. It took awhile for someone to bring us menus. We got our drinks fairly quickly and then she took our order. There was lots of seating but some of the tables needed cleaning. It was all h The food came in a decent time. The one thing I would say is that the pizza is spicy even if you tell them you don't want any spice. We knew the pepperoni would be but I got a veggie pizza with olives, onions and mushrooms and it was still spicy. Our server somewhat disappeared after we got our food and it took awhile to get a refill and then to get our check. I also paid with cash and it took forever to return only to tell me she could not make the right change so I. had to give her a larger tip than she deserved. Overall, not too impressed. Not sure I would go back.

    Brunch menu

    I've been to Matchbox a few times for dinner but I recently went for brunch. For $45, you get AYCE brunch. They have lots of different food options, my favorites being the spinach and artichoke dip, blueberry lemon pancakes, and chicken and waffles. The brunch food items come out as full plates, so I would say this brunch is probably better for 3-4 people. They also had a taco and waffle bar with a bunch of toppings. As well as a cotton candy machine, that I didn't have time to try. Service was a little slow. Overall, I was impressed by this brunch and would go again.

    Decent place to grab quick lunch. We enjoyed the hot honey pepperoni pizza and a salad. Pizza was super thin crispy crust. Service was alright and it was pretty quiet in there, however we were in there around 2:00 pm.

    Surrina was professional and attentive throughout our meal. The food came out hot and fresh--exactly what you want from Matchbox and Ashburn. Will definitely be back!

    Had an early dinner December 31st. Lindsay G was good except she forgot to put the order in for crab dip. She did apologize. Ordered salmon which was excellent. Also ordered bean burger which we had before. Inside was good but the bread was soggy. The side apple pear salads were great and also the apple crisp dessert.

    Sad hockey puck burgers on a roll soft enough to break a window:
    Ben R.

    This review doesn't take into account the buffet. No one in our party tried it, probably because no one working at the restaurant told us about a buffet. The brunch menu sucks to put it lightly. There are maybe 4 true breakfast options and then a bunch of meh, like sushi. Sorry, Matchbox isn't where I'm going for sushi. I did see an order and it looked like it was rolled by a toddler. Massive and loose. I ended up ordering their mini-burgers and a Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary was one of the worst one's I have ever had had. Nothing on the rim, no ice, no celery, no nothing except for a sad little lemon wedge. The burgers were inedible. Ordered them medium and they came out as hard as a hockey puck. I ate half of one and left the rest. The onion straws that come with it was a pile of soggy trash. Our server didn't even note that my food was basically untouched. Full disclosure, I don't look like a picky eater, so it probably should have caught her attention. Then they treat you like a toddler by only providing you what they think is the right amount of condiments. I got about a TBS of ketchup for the hockey puck burgers and soggy onion strings. My 2 sons ordered the French toast, which was excellent. You get about a half loaf of bread and they gave them each about 1.5 TBS of syrup. Just bring a damn bottle out instead of making your servers run back to the kitchen constantly for more meager servings. What's sad is they changed their menu. It used to offer quite a few options for brunch, but some higher up decided it was better just to offer less. This chain always does this. Pull the good things and replace them with lesser offerings.

    Strawberry lemon drop martini
    Cynthia P.

    Checked out Matchbox in One Loudoun for their weekday happy hour (Mon-Fri, 3-6 PM), and it did not disappoint! The food and drink specials are a total win--especially when you're looking for quality bites and cocktails at a great value. I ordered the Old Bay wings (5 wings per order), and they were seasoned to perfection--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of that signature Chesapeake flavor. As a martini lover, I couldn't resist the strawberry lemondrop martini--refreshing, lightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. So good that I ordered 2! I sat at the bar, which opens up to the patio, so I got to enjoy the beautiful weather from the comfort of the indoor space. The bar staff was attentive and friendly, checking in just enough without being overbearing. Excellent service all around! What made the experience even better? Supporting a Black-owned business! Matchbox in One Loudoun is part of Thompson Hospitality, the nation's largest minority-owned food and facilities management company. Love when great food, great service, and a great mission come together. Highly recommend for a relaxed happy hour with elevated bites and good vibes!

    Do they have a private room for 8-10?

    They certainly reserve "space" for private events, though I don't believe the area is concealed from other patrons. I've seen the upper level patio reserved for a party/event.

    My date and I wanted to catch a bite to eat before I got drinks with my girlfriend (she actually…read morerecommended this place to me) and so we decided on Don's! It's a small place and I think it's because it's for pick-up only. We decided not to do pick up and sit inside instead. They have a couple of tables inside and outside. The service was relatively quick and fast! We didn't have to wait too long and we only had an hour; and within that hour our pizza was ordered, ready, and our plates were empty. We ordered - Neapolitan Margherita 5/5 - I'm not sure if it was because we had trash pizza the night before so our expectations were low or because it really is THAT good. I wasn't that hungry, but I ended up eating half the pie! The cheese tasted super fresh and complimented the balsamic drizzle. I'll definitely be returning here or at least getting it for take-out!

    We stopped by for some custom wood-fired pizzas on the evening of July 4th. This is a family…read moretradition for us, and while we usually go to Fireworks Pizza, we decided to try a new spot this time. Parking is easy, with ample spaces both directly in front of the restaurant and across the street. Inside, the seating area is on the smaller side but sufficient for small parties. The ordering process is straightforward: you order and pay at the register, take a seat, and they bring the food to your table. We ordered a salad and two pizzas, one regular and one vegan. The regular pizza came out quickly and tasted quite good. However, the vegan pizza was flavorless. A major contributing factor is likely that they do not offer vegan cheese, so it essentially amounted to a cauliflower crust with tomato sauce and vegetables. On a side note, the cellular signal inside the restaurant was non-existent for some reason. All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience, but we likely won't be returning anytime soon.

First the waiter forgot my wife's glass of wine for so long the bartender got tired of seeing it sitting there and walked it over herself, apologizing for the delay. We received our food, but the extra bread we'd asked for was "still in the oven", and it was still in the oven after we'd nearly finished and my wife's clams dish had gone cold. The waiter apologized, but then it took him 20 minutes to return with refills so we decided to skip dessert. So then it took another 10 minutes to get my card back once he disappeared with that. This is the third time we've been underwhelmed with slow or disjointed timing. Some meals come out while others at the table have to wait. It's really odd. I don't think we'll give it another go. I prefer supporting local, but not while my meal goes cold waiting for people at the table to receive their meals.
