Typically I think it's important and our responsibility to support all the locally owned places in any the twin cities. Matty B's is no exception. The atmostphere and industrial decor is awesome and very hip, but the service and value of what you get is enough to keep me in the suburbs. My group included 6 people. We wanted to have dinner and a few drinks after going to an event at 'The Depot' in Mpls. When we first asked for a table for six, you would have thought this was an odd request. Ordering drinks was painful. We got the six drinks after three different trips to the bar. She would bring back two at a time with a 3 - 5 minute wait between trips. We ordered the chip-n-salsa-guac for the table. We were almost laughing when we realized that after our 15 plus minute wait for the appetizer, we were required to mix the ingrediants together, at our table....new experience for me. For the amount of money they charge, I would think a finished product could be available.
Would I go back to this place? Not likely. Fortunately downtown Mpls has so many great places to offer people. I hate to be 'down' on a local establishment, but with the price of gas what it is, I want to be satisfied with my purchases all the time!
Pros: great location
Cons: service was lacking, food expensive
