Reviews of Match Eatery & Public House - Chatham (Restaurant)

Kevin Leach

Ordered takeout. Poutine had no gravey. Portions were small for the price. Food is bland. Will never order from here again.

Nicholas Stenton

Top notch service and fantastic food - highly recommend!

Shannon St. Jean

The match restaurant is a nice place. Good ambiance, fun vibe. Drinks arnt cheap but they have a full bar and mix drinks. Apps are good but we wouldn't go here to eat a meal. Food is low quality. Fancy descriptions on the menu but when it comes out its a poorly prepared frozen or dehydrated product. I had wings, looked like somthing from the frozen grocery isle. Two little sticks of veggies. Wife had a mushroom pasta. Said the pasta was over cooked or maybe even frozen. Mushrooms that were suppose to be grilled in butter were not even re hydrated. Pasta with dried mushroom chips.. mmm

Ate here a couple of days after opening, food was a bit slow, but that is not surprising as they work out service kinks. I was told everything was homemade (by the hotel). I ordered two fish tacos: deep-fried frozen fish, McCain's frozen tater tots, premade mango salsa, chopped fresh cabbage; green only, pickled jalapenos, flour tortilla... Make them at home; it would be more homemade and probably be better. Cucumber Ceaser was a normal Ceaser with three unmuddled slices jammed in the cup... Did not taste like cucumber at all... On the bright side, the cucumbers tasted like Ceaser. Overall seems like a lazy bar and kitchen work to turn out mediocre food. Friendly staff, cool patio.

The food is good. Restaurant was busy, but conversations could still be heard and had without yelling. The expedition of the order could be quicker. Overall a great atmosphere and menu

Service was lackluster. Dishes came out at random. Meals could of been hotter. Watch out for the beers you get on 'Happy Hour' - only some are 5$ a pint. Great patio though.

Went on the first Sunday of the football season and they only had two games on tv asked for Ravens game and they do not have the nfl package plenty of other restaurants in town do. Very disappointed.

Service was horrible. Seated last night at 9pm. Our first waitress asked for our drinks after 5 mins. We asked just for water. She brought back 2 glasses and no large glass bottle like they do. We weren't ready to order, she said she would be right back but a good 15+ mins passed. We could see our first waitress helping larger tables and totally missed us. Then our 2nd waitress noticed our body language and came to our table for our food order. She did apologize. We asked for more water and was now brought a large chilled glass bottle. We ordered apps and the came out pretty quick as we think the put a rush as our food came out before the other larger table beside us. Ordered Nachos, Dirty Fries and Soft Pretzel . Food quality 3/5 Food Value 2/5. There was a solo artist playing cover songs. The volume could have been a few levels lower. 2nd waitress did check on us. When we were finished a new 3rd waitress check us out. She never said she was replacing the 2nd waitress maybe to cover their break or they were done their shift. We finally were out by 1015pm. There seems to be poor management and untrained staff here after being open a few months. Last time we visited the buffet, we had a better experience. If the buffet is open, go there for food on site.

Great food, great service every time

The food, atmosphere, and friendly wait-staff were great! With the new plastic shields protecting us from the lethal variants now floating in various forms, we were more than comfortable in our boxed shield....lol, jk...but seriously great atmosphere! Glad to see there are jobs still active!! Food was delish. Thanks , Match!

Cory L

Great food and they had sports including UFC on.

Navin Singh

Great drink price and love the happy hours on Thursday! Wings and burgers was on point!

Dan Labonte

Disorganized. Initially turned us away saying there was a 30 min wait when 75% of the tables were empty. Would rather spend our $ at a bar where we feel welcome and keep the cash in chatham.

Mike Thain

Excellent food. Friendly, professional staff. Will definitely return.

Hossein Sardsiri

Brand new restaurant bar, with a beautiful patio. Friendly, helpful staff. Fairly quick service. Reasonable prices for the appetizers and main dishes. Limited dessert options.

So, my wife and I stopped into the Match Eatery at Cascades Casino in Chatham this evening. So when arriving we were advised that since we did not have a reservation it would be a 40 minute wait or we could sit at the bar. We decided to sit at the bar. We were given menus right of way and one of the bar tenders come over on a reasonable amount of time to take our drink order and make a good recommendation. After looking at the menu, my wife decided on the evening special, but I could not decide, so we agreed to get the nachos to give me more time to decide what I wanted. We ordered the nachos "to start" and held on to our menu's. Several minutes later I signaled to the server that I wanted another beer. While waiting on our food, we noticed our server tell one of the other bar tenders what we and her other customers had ordered, and see left. It appeared that she was going on break. The bar tender that took over, did not even acknowledge us, nor any other diner's. Our food came out and the runner asked where it was going, the people beside us that ordered 15+ minutes after we did, and also ordered nachos. The bar tender told the run that is was one of us and said, pointing, for them. I intervened and said that is was our order. We had not recieved plates, cutlery, or even napkins. The nachos were great btw. It was about 5+ minutes and he finally dropped off plates and napkins... No cutlery. From that point, he never asked how things were or if there was anything else we needed.at one point, the 3rd bar tender said to him, "I think the need cutlery".. refering to us and he simply shrugged it off. That bar tender did eventually ask us if our food was fine and that's it. So, we never had a serve acknowledge or come by again until we had finished the nachos. He, took the plates away, not saying or asking anything after our plates were empty and drinks were empty. The original server returned from brake and I asked for the bill. When bringing the bill she ask for confirmation that we only had 1 drink each, I corrected her and said I had 2. We where there 1 1/2 hrs, I would normally have had 3-4 and my wife 2-3. So, the service was aweful. We were never asked to order a meal.. only have the Noch app..mid you it is big and good. The male bar tender should find a different job, cause he is bad at that one. Over all, the service made things a bad experience for our first visit. The food was good, service not. The only reason I gave 3 ???? is that the manager was very attentive to my concern. I would never leave a bad review without telling the manager/owner of the situation. I believe the manager is Kim although I forgot to ask her name. She handled things very well, listened an acknowledged what I was tell her and I thank her for that. I will, be going back after speaking with the manage and hope that it is a much better experience. I would still encourage you to try it out, as I said the nachos are great and all the food coming out looked awesome, next time I'll try some.

Monish Vaidyan

Billiard game is superb

Tommy Gresty

Absolutely amazing staff, and food! My wife and I had dinner for our 14 year wedding anniversary and absolutely perfect. Takiis was our waitress and is outstanding, never had a better server in our lives.

Scarey FX

This is a very nice social environment. Cheap wing night on Thursday is always a good treat but live music on Friday night provided great entertainment. Food is good and drinks are cold!

Shenieka R-M

Food was enjoyable and the portions were large. Happy Hour prices are amazing for wine, would highly recommend this place!

A little expensive, but a nice atmosphere. Staff was nice and party had a great time.

Kevin Steel

Nice Bar. Good daily deals on drinks and food. Food however was nothing to write home about.

Thomas Dawson

Business lunch was far better than expected! Tasty meal with exceptional service from Lisa.

Kellie Zoller

The food is great but they could turn the music down people are trying to visit and it is way too loud at least till after the dinner crowd is done!

Todd St Pierre

Ribs are boiled not good..

Edmond Marentette

Slow service after the dinner given. The waitress never came to ask how the dinner was and the 2nd beer was handed after the dinner was over. The beer had been on the beer counter a while back as we could see it. Will probably not come back.

Gary Anstice

Food and service was excellent. Staff was very friendly, polite and attentive.

Linda Daniels

Very good food

Night off so we decided to go to the new Chatham casino to eat. Buffet had a long line so decided to eat here. After standing at the reception desk for about 10 minutes while one employee explained to the people in front of us that there was a one hour wait, while 3 other staff members stood right there staring at us, we were advised there was a one hour wait. Lots of empty tables but figured there might be reservations so no big deal. Got called in one hour. All the tables still empty. Ordered drinks and dinner right away. Sever (Nolan) was great. But food took almost one hour to come out in a half empty restaurant. I went next door to check on the buffet line and it was much shorter so we were going to to there instead. Food came out just as I was returning to the table. Burger/onion rings were good. Fish dinner - fries were ice cold and the fish had been put on top of the coleslaw, heating it up immensely. He replace the fries with fresh ones. The music was far too load and my occupation is musician. 89db at our table and we were at the furthest table from the stage. Piped in through the overhead speakers and couldn't carry on a normal conversation. Paid the bill and left. Tables were still empty - almost three hours after we first got there. The management staff on the floor seemed to have almost no clue as to what was going on or what to do. Spent most of the time standing around. The serving staff were working their butts off. But the kitchen seemed understaffed or inefficient. There was a table of 15 near us and their meals came out in literally 15 different trips over about a 15-20 minute period with 3 different servers. Our server advised us the wait was due to this party coming in unannounced. The restaurant was half empty. If you can't handle 15 people coming in, maybe you should be doing something else. My wife ran a 50 seat restaurant with one cook, one dishwasher and one server and a similar menu and never got this far behind. Next time, we will wait for the buffet. But don't blame the servers, no fault of theirs.

Todd Bailey

Happy hour 3 to 6 half off drinks wine 4 bucks can't beat that

Lisa Thornton

The food was great and diffent.

Roxie Roller

If you can allow take out for unvaccinated people than you can allow them to walk through to your patio, Boston Pizza has the same set up , where you have to walk though the restaurant to get to the patio.Your patio can also be easily changed to be accessed from outside.Poor leadership

Jonathan Kieswetter

The fish and chips were great

Prelude Paul

Excellent food, the chef does wonders, congrats to the whole team on always cooking good eats

Lisa Jasper

Ordered a Caesar for our drink which only had a lemon wedge in it but on the menu online it said had a pepper, olive, pickled bean. Our waitress wasn't very efficient. Wasn't very busy but seemed to take awhile to get our food.

glen myers

Absolutely the best burgers in town, but coleslaw tasted like it had went bad days before. Everyone who tried it agreed. Left the slaw and enjoyed the burgers!!

k. Hussey2

I really enjoyed the Nashville chicken sandwich , the staff was fantastic and welcoming vibes , I was on a drive and had the worst hunger pains so made a random stop and so glad I did , deffently would travel hour and half just for the Nashville chicken sandwich, Compliments to the chef or chefs :)

D. Christine

absolutely horrible service from bartender and wait staff, food is fairly good though.

Pete Chatzilaskaris

Just came for a couple drinks and an order of fries and our server Lisa treated us like royalty. We'll be back for the excellent service in the future.

John Arnold

I expected more from a casino. Food was ok at best. The service was slow for it not being busy on Saturday. Maybe we'll try again in the New Year.

John Meko

Super friendly staff.

Brenda Einarson

Good Wings! I had the Sauce on the Side. Thank You! BRENDA :)

Candice Malott-Bennett

Was nice. This evening we enjoyed their little happy hour specials. Will go back.

John Owen

Great meal

Michelle p

Goldie is the best server of life. We love him and highly recommend his services

Norman Yorke

Great staff, terrible food. Ribs were tough and hard to get off the bone. Knife n fork steak sandwich was not on a brioche bun, the crispy onion was soggy as were the fries. The steak was over cooked and tough. Mac and cheese had tasteless dried out pulled pork.do yourself a favor and pick a different spot.

Murray MacTavish

Casinos typically have a good restaurant to attract patrons. Cascades Casino is no exception. Match Eatery & Publc House is a great restaurant with delicious recipes. Definitely will return!

mike murphy

Mediocre at best. Won't be rushing back anytime soon.
