"This place tasted better than I expected! Sad to say that they've closed down two of their locations in Columbus and that they don't have a real live lizard in here like the other ones did. Anyway, I came at 5:15 on a Wednesday and found parking pretty easily in their lot. There were a lot of empty spots open! It was a little empty inside, except for maybe three or four groups sitting in here. I saw kids with their parents and a few families. There were a few folks sitting at the bar as well. Their beer and whiskey list is pretty extensive! Wow! I was impressed! I had to order Wild Turkey 101 with lemonade. Yummy! It was good! My friend had some type of lemon IPA. I wasn't a fan of the citrus flavor in it, but she enjoyed it. I think this restaurant's selling point is their wings. They had a huge thermometer on one page showing spice levels for sauces. I chose the spicy BBQ, which was about 3/4 of the way up on the list. I got the boneless wings. It wasn't even spicy. Someone else mentioned that their spice levels aren't all that spicy so I wasn't super shocked. Still, it was good! I almost wonder how the spiciest tastes since spicy BBQ was pretty way up there and was hardly even mild. I also ordered Pfred's Preferred Pfries, which were cheese fries with bacon. So good! Thick and very filling! I shared with my friend and we struggled to eat it all! She ordered a pulled meat sandwich. It was a special. She couldn't recall if it was brisket or pork. I tasted it and it was good! The sauce was nice. It came with fries and a huge pickle but she had no room to eat the fries, let alone finish her sandwich. The waiter didn't check up on us as much as I would've liked, but I didn't need anything. He didn't smile at all. He was really serious. Either it was a long day or his feet were hurting. Anyway, I love the vibe here! They've got a ton of TVs, so I can imagine it gets busy when there's a game. I liked the music though. Lots of 80s throwbacks."

"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."
