Yet another great experience at the Matchbox Diner. This place never disappoints! It's everything you could ever want in a classic diner. They have bar seating, cozy booths and tables. The food is excellent-whether you're looking for classic breakfast items like pancakes and omelets or tasty sandwiches-they have it all! They also have a decent selection of wine, beer and cocktails. Attentive staff and LGBTQ friendly. You must visit the Matchbox next time you're in GR! Parking: Parking is limited; there's no parking next to the restaurant and only a few spots behind the Domino's pizza place next door.

Great place for Saturday lunch. Even though the place was full, four of us were seated right away. Good service. Thanks, Courtney. Booths with high backs so we could easily chat. Loved the absorbent cloth napkins. We had a Denver omelet, avocado sandwich, a wrap and the Matchbox Burger with their own sauce. Both hand-cut fries and sweet potato fries were excellent. All were tasty and we sent back empty plates! Their Old Fashion had a rock candy swizzle stick. What fun!

The service was awesome and friendly. My beer came in a frosted mug! The food was okay. When I ordered chips and cheese, I was expecting melted shredded cheese not liquid cheese product like you get at a movie theater or concession stand. The chicken sandwich and burger had good flavor but were cooked to an inch of their life and dry. I would go back, but would suggest switching to real cheese and adding lettuce/tomato to your chicken sandwiches and burgers and not cooking all of the moisture out of them.
