Great food! The crab avo tower was delicious and they subbed tortilla chips for the bread. Salads were great as well as the seared scallops. Our friends loved the grilled chicken and meatball pizza. Would love some more gluten free/ dairy free options.

matchbox is a consistent go to when I want solid food and a wonderful ambiance. I particularly love the outdoor space in Arlington at the Pentagon City location. It's great for taking in the buzz of the city. We went on a recent Saturday evening and were greeted and seated right away - I did have to remind our host of the outdoor seating request. The dragon fruit lemonade was a hit with my daughter and I loved the virgin dragon fruit mojito - so tasty and pretty and I loved there was no up charge since it was non alcoholic. I tried the pan seared scallops form the first time and they were delicious along with the pear side salad. My daughter got her favorite chicken fettuccini Alfredo and gave thumbs up per usual. We did have to wait a bit for our check and once we flagged down another server that issue was quickly resolved.

I had the veggie burger with fries. I did order an Arnold Palmer ice tea and a regular iced tea. They do it give refills on the Arnold Palmer so I thought the iced tea would be a refill...nope I was charged $5 for both. Next time I will just get a water. $5 for one drink is not worth it.

Burger and brew really good. The burger was large and cooked perfect. They substituted the fries for a pear salad for no extra charge. Gave 4 bc my friend said her fries were too crispy.

We ordered a crab shrimp avocado dip that was delicious. Fettucini alfredo with chicken was very good and salmon dish was moist either good flavor. I loved the atmosphere with an industrial look with old woods and brick.

Food was really good, definitely recommend any of their dips. Service was mediocre at best. Server wasn’t particularly nice but she also couldn’t do her job well enough. We ordered our appetizers and entrees at the same time, expecting them to be coursed out correctly. They weren’t. Entrees came out about 5 minutes before the appetizers and all we got was a measly “sorry” as one of our dishes got cold.

Matchbox gets 3 stars because it truly is okay. The food definitely doesn't match the decor. The location itself is really nice. I just wasn't blown away by anything we ordered. Our server went above and beyond, doing a great job of tending to our table, and I really don't want to write a long review dragging these guys, because like I said it was okay. I just personally wasn't that impressed by the food, and didn't see anything else that made me feel I needed to come back and try it.
Uncooked chicken, customer service is horrible. Please review your receipt. On different occasions I was charged for items I did not order.

The pizza and drinks were amazing. I got the summer sangria, Prosecco, & pepperoni and honey pizza. Delicious! Cute little vibe.

I just give two stars the reason why I give them is because my service was great, she did it very well the only thing was that the waiter told me some things that they didn't have available at the time. Then came a manager named "Daniel" who I feel that he shouldn't be a manager just went to say I'm sorry but that. He didn't even tell us if we would like anything else. I feel that for him to be a manager he lacks a lot of experience. That's why I only give two stars!

This isn't my first rodeo with matchbox, I've been to all locations in the area. With great service , good food you can never go wrong here. If it's family dinner , few friends or even date night. They have menu options that cater to all even vegetarians, the drinks are always good and quickly served. Matchbox is a stable in the pizza world in the DMV area so book a reservation or just walk in you'll have a great experience. Everything was beautifully cooked and delicious 4/5
