Matchbox is still one of my favorite restaurants in the DC area for dining out with my family. “Where should I eat?” is the is the question I get asked the most on a daily basis. Depending on if the person wants a dine-in experience or a fast-casual place, I usually recommend Matchbox. The restaurant offers the best of both worlds for parents and their kids. This is there perfect place where adults can grab a great meal, possibly enjoy a glass of wine or a beer and watch the game with their families. The food is slowly cooked and is oh-so-good! My family’s favorites include the wood fired pizza, the baby-back ribs, the tuna tartar tacos, the salmon with risotto and so much more!
I recently had the pleasure of taking over the Matchbox369 Instagram account earlier this week. In case you missed it—you can head over to my Instagram account and check it out under Highlights.
There are some great specials taking place from now until the end of the year and I wanted to able to share them with you!
