Being new to the Reston area, I’m not very familiar with too many restaurants. I am SO happy I was introduced to Matchbox! Each dish was packed full of flavor, and the portion sizes were just right! Our waiter David was absolutely AMAZING! He was extremely attentive, friendly, and provided us with excellent recommendations! I’d love for him to be my waiter when I return because I’ll most definitely be coming back to Matchbox!

I was staying at the JW Marriott for my birthday and, being from MD, I dine at Matchbox pretty often! This is one of the best brunches with a great variety of food and generous sizes! Most places usually skimp on the quality of food when making it in “batches” but that has never been the case at this restaurant. Service was amazing, and we were checked on by everyone and not just our server…which is big for me as it definitely gives a “family” vibe. I was extremely sad to hear that that was their last day as I was already planning a return staycation in the Reston area and was going to add this restaurant into my dining rotation. Thankfully there are still a few locations in MD that I can still visit, but to anyone that is looking for a great brunch with food that even the pickiest of eaters would love, please visit Matchbox!

The food was good I didn’t like the grits bc it was cooked properly n the peach mimosa tasted like beer. The manager came over and explained that she was getting things right at this location she only been there for 3 days. The strawberry lemon drops were good the blueberry lemon pancakes were delicious omg tasty. The hot and sweet pizza was also delicious we will definitely be back. We also had an amazing waitress

It was rather early when we came for dinner, before 6pm so it was not busy at all. Yet we waited a bit for drinks and food to come. The spin dip came only minutes before the entrees and wasn’t hot anymore so this suggests it was waiting to be grabbed.. refilling water took a long time. However the worst was the fish and chips. The fish was not fresh. We had to wait until the server came to check in which was not immediate, and then after a long wait we were able to exchange the entree and take most of it home. For the price point, an experience like this nearly drives you to other places in the vicinity. The cocktails were great and so was the pizza; the restaurant feels warm and cozy. So I can only recommend this place for drinks and pizza.

The crispy shrimp tacos are not easy to eat. I had to take a bite of the tacos without the fried shrimp, then eat the shrimp afterward. It wasn’t fun, but it was doable. The side of beans was also flavorless.
I recommend checking your bill against the menu.
Lastly, if you’re in a large group, there’s a required gratuity (which makes sense). However, the suggested tip afterward is wild. One of my coworkers added $10 on top of the 18–20% required tip because she didn’t want to seem like an asshole. My manager did the same. I was one of the few who asked if the gratuity was already included to avoid overtipping. Absolutely wild.

I had a great experience at Matchbox in Reston! Our waitress, Christina, was awesome super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The manager, Janet, also stopped by to check in on us, which really added a personal touch.
The service overall was excellent, and the food came out fast and fresh. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Highly recommend this location!

I don’t typically leave reviews, but I had lunch with a friend at Matchbox in Reston this month in December. It was a good dining experience. My server Christian did an excellent job, she made sure we liked our food and our drinks were refilled. They do a nice job with the food and I love the arancini here, so I want to thank the people cooking in the kitchen too. I appreciate the level of customer service you provide, Christian and thank you to the kitchen staff at Matchbox in Reston too!

Pizza was a little bit burnt compared to the last time I was at a Matchbox. I got Bacon Blanca and the arugula, avocado, tomato salad on top was a wonderful addition. The chicken fettuccine was alright, only because the pizza stole the show. Service was great and staff is very friendly and hard working. Will come again for the cauliflower crust.
My server was Elsa!
