    We spent the first hour out on their covered patio until the dark clouds started rolling in. When it started to look like the rain was imminent, we moved inside and this is where the party was at. We brought our chicken sliders and wings inside and copped a spot on the far end of the restaurant. There were quite a few people already here and it wasn't even 6pm yet. I thought this was a great sports bar and there are not too many like this in the McLean area. We each went thru 3 Coronas a piece, and the chicken that we ordered was mad good. Our server was awesome and always managed to show up at our table whenever we needed something. If you are out this way, I would highly recommend giving this sports bar/ restaurant a tty. Their wings are right on time.

    We came to try the unlimited brunch option. They had a lot of options to choose from. The mimosas are very good. Some of the food was lacking flavor or seasoning. I think this is a good idea as unlimited brunch is very in now it's just missing the fun and flavor at this location. This location did not get busy at all maybe half the restaurant at one point. It is very clean inside and the staff is friendly. The parking and location is good here.

    It's so interesting how this place is tucked into a suburban neighborhood. My server was very attentive and my pizza was perfect. Almost reminded me of the pizza I grew up with living outside NYC. I'll definitely be back.

    Garden Veggie Pizza

    I would describe Matchbox as a solid choice, if you live in Tysons/McLean area, and you're pressed for time. The menu is Modern American, with options for brick oven pizza -- it has just enough of a variety that everyone should be able to choose something that appeals to them. The space is quite open and I love the fact that the majority of the seating are set up as booths. Side note: I wish more restaurants could be set up this way, it gets you out of the way of the servers and wait staff going up and down the aisles. -- [I realize for restaurants with smaller footprint, it's impractical, as booths take up more space] We came in at 6:30, and we were able to get a table easily, but the restaurant was filling up soon after. We got the Garden Veggie pizza, it said it had roasted vegetables, and the Herb Crusted Salmon Salad - both were quite good. We finished off with one of their dessert items - Donuts. I wish I could have taken a photo of this fried bit of deliciousness, but sadly we attacked it too quickly for me to take a decent photo. In lieu of a photo, let me describe it to you: It wasn't quite a beignet, but it wasn't just some donut either. It was something in between dusted with powdered sugar and it came with a side of two different sauces: chocolate and raspberry. The service was fine, but I think our server was somewhat new (??) -- she seemed somewhat unfamiliar with the menu, when we had questions and taking our order, I think our entire table lowered our expectations slightly to account for possible hiccups with our order. Bottom line, it's the convenience of this restaurant, because the thought of dealing with mall traffic and parking, just to get dinner, especially if you are pressed for time, makes this place ideal

    Burger and margarita

    Service was good, ambiance is okay (a bit of family and a bit of bar fun...it depends where you sit). The drinks are nice. I had the flaming hater margaritas, which was a 6 out of 10. The old fashions were a 5 out of 10. I also had the $20 burgers, which was a 3 out of 10. It was oily, not tasty (meaning flavorless), and it had a handful of fries.

    Crab cake sandwich

    Matchbox has some interesting pizza combinations that may be worth exploring. The cheese pizza I had was soggy, no great quality or flavorful cheese. The salmon salad faired well and a good serving. The crabcake sandwich was better than expected. It had lumb crab and filler with a tasty sauce. It's about the size of a hamburger, there's filler but it's well balanced.

    Cinnamon rolls - wouldn't recommend
    Trendy D.

    We came on a Saturday morning at 10:40 am. It want super busy so we were able to get seated immediately. Brunch Food order Apps: Cinnamon rolls 2/5 Disappointing don't get it. It came out cold and was very hard on the outside. Instead of icing they actually use whip cream. I wish it was softer and warmer. Entrees Brunch pizza 3.5/5 Hangover burrito 5/5 Portions were very generous. Pricing was a bit expensive so makes sense. My bf and I were talking about how the steak and eggs could be $40 but we went to a higher end restaurant in DC the prior week called Old Ebbit and their portions were generous and steak and eggs were $28. So just a warning. Drinks Orange juice and coke Service was okay not the best not the worst. They did their job. Ambiance was nicer than some other matchboxes I've been to.

    September 29th 2025 I went there today and I'm disappointed for the spare ribs the glaze of the sauce was too sweet had no flavor there was almost no meeting there I do remember long time ago I had that green pigs bistro with the really excellent Shroff silver to die for to lick the fingers compared to those it's a five levels difference so anyway I was disappointed restaurant was empty at 4:00 I know it's happy hour but nobody goes there there is a room for improvements restaurant looks beautiful also I noticed all the plans are plastic inside I will put some life plans inside and it was nobody at the front door no hostess I know it's only 4:00 but you need to keep employees no news channel on like those stupid sports all the time used to be America used to be you know I used to have a sport in new news use the newspapers in the restaurant to share then I go to the bathroom and you have a faucets which you know gives you 10 seconds water like in Virginia with a shortage of water change those faucets don't be so trendy with the green stuff Virginia we have plenty of water you dig the whole the water comes up you need to improve more restaurant your prices also for the food there are too high for the quality of the future of the wine you offer

    Huevos Rancheros.  Good flavor but wasn't served hot.

    Came for lunch on a Saturday . Wasn't busy at all. After ordering it took awhile for the food to be served. After digging in I realized the food was probably sitting for a bit before the server got the food to us because everything was lukewarm. Ate it anyway. Water glass wasn't refilled even though I placed it by the aisle and the manager walked by several times and saw it was empty. Lots of improvement needed if they want reoccurring business/to survive because this restaurant is kind of off the beaten path with limited foot traffic in downtown McLean which is normally deserted during the summer with people on vacation.

    Yard House is a solid choice if you're looking for a reliable chain restaurant in a great location…read more The appetizers are consistently good, and it's an easy place to meet friends or grab a casual meal. Be prepared for it to be busy, this place is almost always crowded. The good news is they take reservations, which makes the wait much more manageable and is definitely the way to go. The ambiance is decent, but because it's usually packed, it can get very loud. If you're looking for a quiet dinner or an intimate conversation, this probably isn't the place. On the other hand, if you're meeting a group, watching a game, or just want a lively atmosphere, it fits the bill. Overall, it's exactly what you'd expect from a chain restaurant: dependable food, good appetizers, a convenient location, and a fun, energetic vibe--as long as you don't mind the noise.

We went for my birthday at 5pm and brought our baby, who they welcomed graciously. That said, I would not recommend this as a baby friendly restaurant. It's a bit too upscale. We got the softshell crab to start along with Cosmo and Wanda cocktail and the Jailbreak. The softshell was big and juicy and very flavorful and both cocktails were delicious. For entrees we got the pork chop and the halibut. The pork chop was a decent sized potion and cooked PERFECTLY. The halibut was smooth as butter but wasn't a very large entree, so I wouldn't recommend if you are super hungry, but if you're not, it's very flavorful and delicate! We then ordered the banana bread, bread pudding to go and ate it when we got home. It was also 10/10! Overall, it was a very nice, elegant experience. I would recommend for special occasions!

The atmosphere: The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting ambiance. There is plenty of spacious booth seating, which made for a comfortable dining experience. The food: My table started with the Crispy Fried Point Judith Calamari to share. I have a peanut and tree nut allergy and didn't initially realize that the dish included pesto. The staff promptly remade the appetizer without the pesto, which I appreciated. However, the interaction left me feeling a bit like an inconvenience based on the tone of the response. For my entrée, I ordered the Patsy's 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was absolutely delicious. I also added a side of the House Steak Sauce, and it paired wonderfully with the steak. I highly recommend trying it if you're someone who enjoys dipping sauces with your steak! The service: Overall, the service was pleasant. The staff was kind, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. While there were a few minor hiccups, I enjoyed my visit and would return to try more of the menu.

The food was fantastic (as always) -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented and the happy hour price are so affordable for the amazing quality, the flatbreads were awesome . Not a single complaint from anyone in the group. What really stands out about this location is how comfortable they make you feel.

    Nice boutique cafe with a galore of croissants, donuts, cookies with some seasonal/weekly specials…read more I've made my rounds through the menu and ate more pastries than I can count! The seasonal Donuts and the Croissant Tarts keep me coming back! Best Donuts - Pumpkin Pie Donut, Tiramisu Donut, Key Lilme Pie, Boston Cream, and Hot Cocoa Nutella donut. The Strawberry and Raspberry have a Jelly/Jam filling. I wasn't a big fan of the Cookie Butter Donut, Cannoli donut, or the Dot Cake Donut. The Cookie Butter donut tasted like creamy peanut butter while the Cannoli donut that didn't have the sweet creamy filling that I was hoping for and the Funfetti frosting was a bit off on the Dot Cake Donut (super fun to see all the dot sprinkles on top!). Croissant Tarts - Both the sweet and savory tarts deliver! The Raspberry Cream Cheese Tart, Red Pepper Feta Tart, Apple Tart, and Everything Tart are all delicious! The classic Garlic Spinach Tart and Shroom Tart are fine. Best Croissants - Christmas Tree Raspberry Croissant, Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse Croissant, Apple Butter Crumble Croissant, Almond Croissant, and Matcha Croissant. The Berry Brioche Tart was fun to try, but not my favorite. The cookies are pretty light and fluffy, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie tasted like a lemon sugar cookie with no filling. For Valentine's Day, the Linzer sugar cookie filled with raspberry jam was delicious! So glad I grabbed the last one by 11am on Saturday! For Mother's Day, there were colorful macaroons. All of the fillings with the donuts and croissants are whipped and pretty light. There's a parking garage next door and you can get parking validated for 1 hour.
