Came in for a late night snack on a Thursday about 8pm. Got the last two parking spots but surprisingly not that busy inside and we got a table right away. Then nothing.Waitress never came by, we started to look around for the hostess to get some help and there was no hostess. We were blatantly ignored several times as one waitress walked by several times, no hello, smile, anything. Clearly we weren't in her section and she didn't care. Definitely won't be sitting in her section if we ever go back. Finally someone came by and asked if we had been served yet. Then gets a very young waitress to come over. She was very nice but you could tell she was fairly new but that was no problem. We all had our first customers. She got our orders and the food came out quickly.Went to the men's room and it was super nasty. One toilet and two urinals. The toilet was back up almost overflowing and looked like it had a large green mass of mold growing, super gross. And bathroom was out of paper towels. Obviously it had been ignored for hours. Not the best impression for a first time visitor.Food came and the egg rolls were good. The chili has a good smokey flavor and that was it. It tasted flat, one note, smoky that's it. Needed to taste fresh and hearty but was just flat.We quickly asked for the check. Heard good things about this place and it was a huge disappointment.Parking: Parking lot was at capacity don't know if other parking was nearby but plenty of tables inside but service wasn't good

Saint Pat's day was a moment. To see all the staff celebrating the holiday was exciting. Our waitress was so helpful in helping us choose our meal. Her little self was so friendly. The bathroom was clean, and you don't see that often at other restaurants. Now I have to honestly say the Mamosa was just Orange juice. But we didn't complain due to the good service we had overall.

Can't be the sausage sampler and I'm guessing the largest selection of drafts in Matthews.

The service was great at this location, but the food was terrible. Everything was cold, like it had been sitting in the kitchen waiting for someone to buy it. Their famous brisket was dry and cold. We have enjoyed Mac's Speed Shop at other locations in the past, but we will never go back to the Matthew's location. They have some serious problems with their kitchen staffing.

Overall a great spot to eat. Food is tasty and the atmosphere is very friendly and sporty. Only catch is the food is a bit inconsistent. The hushpuppies are to die for !! But all the other sides were just mediocre. It's a hit or miss. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Good food. Good beer!

SERIOUSLY?! You offer a, "food challenge", but only have KIDS t-shirts? DAFUQ?! Don't EVER give the fryboy control of a time clock, because he runs with it! ? I'm going to NC, but will DEFINITELY SKIP THIS PLACE! ?

I had the half rack of ribs.They were nice and smoky with great sauce..baked beans and tater tots on the side..The deviled eggs were great to start..great beer and drink selection as well with local brews on tapParking: Parking area is tight but there is plenty of parking nearby as well
Lord. Where do I start. Long long time ago, this was a great place for food. Guess they have embraced BEER and Bikes and forgot what the BBQ and food and sides used to be. Ordered smoked chicken, they should rename it card board chicken. The baked beans used to be sweet and loads of flavor and now is nothing but ketchup. At least the ranch dressing was good. I should have remembered but gave this place a third redo. Well. 100% never coming back. The waitress was nice tho so.

had a very bad experience?To make matters worse, they charged me a party fee of R$45 because I had more than seven people with me, even though we didn’t have a party. This was not stated anywhere and I felt cheated. I do not recommend this bar to anyone, especially if you are in a large group.

Jodi was my server and she was very nice. Helped with menu options and gave me advice about the area. The other staff members kind of just went about their day. No greeting or goodbyes from them. I got nachos with chicken and mac and cheese. If I had only had the Mac and cheese I'd be 5 stars all day in the food. The nachos started out good and I tried to eat them before the cheese sauce started to soggy the chips. The cheese sauce gets cold fast and that overall killed it for me, made the chips soft. Soft and cold nachos and a no go.The chicken had a good smokey flavor. I tried all three house sauces, mustard carolina and western on it. I liked the mustard and Carolina the most.I'm sure other menu options are better and I will give this place another shot, however.No bathroom is ever super appealing but the smell of urine hits you hard the moment you walk in the mens room. There was even sharpie above the urinal mentioning it. Come on guys put the pink hockey pucks in there at least. .Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs from what I can see .

Great food and experience every time but the health score being below 90 is a turn off. Disappointing and I hope to see improvements in food and staff safety soon, so we can be back!

Always good food and service. Across the board their barbecue is always
