Match Eatery & Public House

Made reservations for 15 people three months ago in the banquet room showed up on the day of booking and was told that when you reserve this room you don’t actually get it. How does that make sense?

Service was really not good tonight! I don’t complain but this time it was extra bad! Food was not worth the price was dry! Did not like my experience!

Staff is really friendly but the food is horrible and over priced poutine portion size was pathetic, and pizza is as thin as paper and soggy, went back a second time just for the pumpkin spice cheesecake but they got rid of it

Heard all the good reviews and then the food was just ok. Atmosphere was great. Four of us ordered different things and a couple of Apps. Ribs and chicken were a bit too spicy for my dad but there was no other option to change the sauces. The Ultimate Mac and Cheese was too much of everything but cheese. Mom had fish and chips. Chips were left under lamps too long. The ultimate club came with it's own sauce and not mayo. Good but nothing great. The fries were the same as the fish meal. Rib bites appie was ok but needed to come with a dipping sauce and the OMG sprouts were alright and should have been served with a small serving spoon. They were awkward to get out of the bowl.

Drinks were good and servers were friendly. Price for all that (2 rounds of drinks as well) was under $200, so decent pricing for what you get.

The food was great, we were happy with everything we ordered. Good drink selection, great service. We would return.

APRIL 2022
Food is mostly acceptable, some amazing, some negatively overly complicated.
That is IF you can be seated.
Service management is almost nonexistent.
Most tables sit empty for hours on end, because they are "reserved" yet NOTHING is available for small groups of casino patrons looking for a quick refueling between gambling sessions.in an EMPTY restaurant. Wake up management.you should be working harder to feed/keep people on the property.

Service was a little slow (they weren't that busy at the time either) but the food was excellent! I would definitely recommend trying it out.
We will be going back, that's for sure!

20 minutes to be let into a mostly empty restaurant. 30 minutes for the server to realize we were in there. Hostess didn't communicate with the server at all. Food came out fairly quickly and the server was polite, but that was the only positive thing about this experience.
The pesto mushroom rigatoni had so little pesto on it, it was like the chef whispered pesto in the room and called it good enough. Not only that the portion was quite small for $15.50, so much for "pasta day" cause they charged regular price during it as well. I'm talking hand sized portions. Must have had vampires back there cause there was no garlic on that garlic bread.
I'm sure given the responses from the owner they don't care, and I'm sure I'll get a copy pasted response like a the other reviews. Wouldn't recommend.

I feel like a lot of the previous negative reviews are fake reviews. I’ve been to the match 3 times now and have never had a bad experience with food or service. During my first visit the restaurant manager, James, checked on our table and everyone else’s which was a nice touch. My favourite meal there so far was the ranch hand burger. I’ll say this as a final note to anyone who has had a “bad experience” and whose knee jerk reaction is to just go online and trash talk this establishment. It has been made pretty public that this is their soft opening. Give them a break. It takes time to settle in and work out the kinks to any business.

Went for the fish and chips. Food was quick and hot. Fish was delicious and service was great. Would recommend a check if in area

I had the pleasure of eating here and unlike a lot of the other earlt reviews from people who've apparently never been to a restaurant that just opened or through covid-19 I will actually talk about the restaurant.

The food was well beyond my expectations, very good quality and good price. Staff was friendly and was on top of everything throughout our visit. I had the Nashville chicken sandwich as my main with side of fries, the sauce and chicken was top notch. I had their Caesar salad to start and it was definitely one of the best ones I've ever had, the croutons were massive but the sauce was perfect. Tasted homemade.

You need typically need a reservations as it's very busy right now, this should go without saying but the majority of 1 - 2 star reviews seemed to think this was abnormal.

In conclusion, I'm only making this review because I was making reservations to come back to a second time and saw the unjustifiable negative reviews it had. Entitlement is weird.

Truly outstanding! The Cajun Seafood Spaghettini is to die for. An incredible meal. Beautiful bar and great staff.

Came from Barrie to visit family and experience this new place and was extremely disappointed. As a business offering happy hour at specific hours, they should be able to serve the limited number of people in the restaurant at 9 PM. Many empty tables, low number of customers, and my party of four was actually turned away because the staff “could not handle the extra customers”. I have never seen this level of poor customer service in my life. Would recommend stopping for McDonald’s before visiting this place as you will be hard pressed to get actual food at the “restaurant”…

We decided to stop in on our way home, just to try the resteraunt. We knew we might need to wait since we didnt have reservations but tried anyways. It was a 30 minute wait for our table for 2. Despite this, there were many empty tables within view of the door, so we found it odd that we couldn't be seated immediately.
Once seated, we waited quite awhile before a server even came over, and she immediately told us she hadn't known we were there. We ordered the poutine, dirty fries, and the pesto rigatoni. I wanted a cider but they only have growers, and no other cider options which was very disappointing.
The poutine was average considering it is priced kind of high (13.5 dollars). The fries were kind of thick cut and did seem to be made fresh at least. I did find the gravy was a bit salty.
The dirty fries were our favorite item that we ordered. They're skinny fries so I liked the crispiness and topping ratio a lot more.
The rigatoni was very disappointing. There was very little pesto on it, and half of the pasta felt almost plain. For the price, and considering pesto is in the name of the dish, this was disappointing.
Overall, a bit disappointed from our first try. We intend to try more items on the menu, but hope it will be better next time.

Went on a busy Friday night and was sat almost immediately. The service was wonderful, but the food was fantastic! We had steak (cooked to perfection) and an impossible burger. Very good experience and will definitely return.

5 of us came from out of town to play and celebrate special birthday…. Casino was fantastic but the service in the restaurant lacked a lot…. 3 of the beverages we wanted were not available and our food took an hour to come to the table…. Not great

Food was good, service very rushed. If it was lined up out the door, maybe but was a decent selection of empty tables that never got filled.

Couldn’t get a table during happy hour because they were under staffed and the place looked empty… even if it looks empty make a reservation or you won’t get in

Service was excellent! They continued to check on us and refill drinks for us and the kids when we were empty. Ate there three times on three different days and food was great however the last time we went the food was quite salty. I think they’re still finding their groove. Menu is a little limited but the portions were nice sized and cooked right to our order. Need to make reservations yet or you won’t get in.

The service is terrible.
Went for brunch (bacon and eggs). Arrived at 11: 45, left at 1: 15.
When we were seated, we waited 10 min and no one came to our table. The restaurant was not packed: around 5 tables were occupied in total, and 5 waitresses were hanging out at the front, chatting amongst themselves. Finally, one waitress came and asked if we were served. I replied no. 5 min later our waitress came. Drinks came another 15 min later, food another 30 min later. Food was good but portions were very small.
All in all, the staff seemed disorganized. I will revisit in the near future to see if the service improved, but as a first impression. I am not impressed.

Absolutely amazing experience. My husband and I went on March 19, with a reservation booked for 9. We arrived a bit early at 830 and had no problems getting seated. The hostess brought us complimentary water as soon as we sat down (right beside the live music, the Angry Pants were playing, great entertainment!)

On my receipt, it says our waitresses name was Skira 2. She was amazing! Very kind and made sure we were taken care of.

In terms of food, we started with nachos, then my husband got the Fish Burger and I got the steak. We shared a dessert. Every single piece of food we encountered was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely phenomenal.

Before tip, the food was about 100$ after tax. Beyond a fair price for such quality food!

Will be going again, hopefully soon. Wonderful addition to North Bay.

Place was empty and they wouldn’t seat us during happy hour - not a great first experience
