   Great to have this place in McLean! The chili was amazing. We would dine here much more often if open later on Friday and Saturday. We often drive to Tyson’s after events since this location closes early.

   First time at the McLean Match Box, but a fan of the Mosaic and downtown DC locations for several years. My sister and I were greeted by a very friendly receptionist and seated in a booth as requested on my Open Table reservation. Our waiter was also very friendly and attentive without interrupting our conversation. We shared a simple salad, which was divided in the kitchen as requested. The pizza order of half one kind and half a different one came out at a good time and was delicious! We'll be back because we enjoy Match Box, we weren't rushed and it is great to have another Match Box closer to where I live.

   It was incredibly noisy during our visit. Pizzas were undercooked, cheese did not caramelize properly.

   Food was mediocre at best and the service was slow despite the restaurant being fairly empty. I’ve done at this and other Matchbox locations, and the Mclean location is not the greatest. It’s not worth my money.

   We are visiting from out of town and family gave us the place to try. We ended up with the Summer Restaurant menu and it was outstanding! We might just come back this week!!!

   I decided to grab a quick bite with my girlfriend and thought, why not go to Matchbox? I’ve always enjoyed their One Loudoun location, so I figured the McLean spot would be just as good. Unfortunately, I was wrong. First, I ordered a drink that was supposed to be made with Tito’s, but the server was about to use a different vodka instead. Then, to make matters worse, our pizza had a hair in it. Yes a hair, a topping that was not on the menu Overall, I was very disappointed and will stick to visiting the One Loudoun location from now on.

   Food and service were outstanding. It was a tad loud due to some very energetic children at a close by table. Oh well, we’ve all been there.

   Excellent wait staff. Hostess was pleasant. Waiter had a great since of humor. He checked back to make sure that we had everything that we needed and that we liked the drinks that we ordered.
