If you end up having such a great time that you hang late, they don't rush you out or blast "Closing Time" to make things awkward. They're chill and let you finish up at your own pace. The food trucks are hit or miss--sometimes absolutely amazing, sometimes not great--but there's always something happening. There are five businesses inside, so it never feels boring. They host comedy nights, live bands, karaoke, Pokémon events, and board game days/nights, which gives it a cool community vibe. My singular complaint would be when the daylight changes to evening, these awful too-white bright lights come on that make you feel like you need sunglasses and ruin the cozy vibe. They did add some warmer lights around the garage door, but I wish they would change the color of those really bright ones that come on at night. Overall, it's a fun, relaxed place to hang out.

The Loyalist Market is a gem of a restaurant tucked away in a Matthews shopping center. As a…read morebusiness their specialty is made to order charcuterie boards and they boast a large selection of locally sourced cheeses and meats. Inside however they also have a market featuring lots of local products, and a sit down cafe serving up salads and toasted sandwiches. I came in here on a quiet Sunday afternoon and we elected to sit outside in their walled in patio area. It was a pleasant place to sit and our service was prompt and friendly. For my sandwich I chose the turkey chipotle bacon without the tomatoes. The sandwich tasted great and the bread was toasted nicely. If I have one complaint it's that for $14.00 I think the sandwich could have been a bit bigger, or maybe I was just too hungry because I scarfed it down in an instant! Still the chips that accompanied it were a good snack and I enjoyed my meal. This is definitely a good spot to grab a lunch, I wish I had more time and I would have enjoyed the opportunity to browse their market. Matthews has a lot of great locally owned spots and this is for sure one of them.

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.

Went to a concert in Charlotte and stayed in Matthews…read more 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)

Only complaint is pendant light hanging in front of the TV blocking my view while I'm hoping Man City whips the snot out of West Ham. Check it out when you can! Cheers!

I've been a couple of times and have always been well taken care of. They serve bar food but a little higher level than the standard bar food. Several sandwich (sammie's) options as well as flatbreads and burgers. I feel the food is a tad pricey given the location and quality of food (flatbreads typically run $18 and burgers are $17/$18). There are about 10-12 drafts on tap, mostly local breweries and a pretty good selection. There are also several coolers to choose non-tap options. All in all, it's a nice place and the only downside would be the pricing of the food.
