"Service is always great, drinks are great and the food is not that good. Our ribs were burnt and I should say something to the staff but every time we eat here the food is just not that good! This time the collard greens were awesome, the cornbread was killer. Last time we got the jambalaya it lacked flavor and I couldn't stand the collard greens. This place has great ambiance and a great patio and was totally dead on a Friday night. I wish the best for this place and its staff. Whats the story? The kitchen burnt out? Owners? Feel free to write me back, I'm sorry to write a half negative review. I really want you to succeed. I ate at a newish chain in Boise Idaho. (it's hard to tell its a chain. It's packed every night. Menu items are different and interesting. It's called Tupelo Honey. I would support a restaurant intervention with all my might. (I dont like chains but I totally get why The Matador is busy all the time! Do your servers love your food? Is the kitchen burnt out? Are the owners??? So many questions. I will say that back in the day I ordered your Mac Etouffe style. It was amazing. So I ordered it again and again and again when it was available and it got worse every time. Consistency is so important and I know I'm a total a hole for writing this. I don't want to see this place go. I talked with my neighbors to find out if I'm the only one that feels this way. They said they haven't gone back in years."
