Matchbox Cafe — Restaurant in Town of Rhinebeck

I am a big fan of hamburgers. So that makes me a big fan of this special place. I have mostly only had hamburgers with cheese and desserts here. We don’t live nearby so stop in occasionally. In nice weather, there is a lovely garden patio and we we sit outside. Usually now we take out. Tons of folks love this place. The mom and pop owners are very cordial and accommodating. I usually order medium cooked. These burgers are so fresh and quality that I enjoy them medium to rare. They are priced very fairly. I pay more for less at commercial places. I would rather travel an extra 10minutes and go here. There are many other dishes that are tantalizing. They also have vege burgers. I have yet to buy their pot pies. But although pricy, I’m sure they are worth every bit. They look great. I will take one home as well soon. I’m just hooked on the burgers of my dreams. Now, the desserts are the real deal. High end bakery grade. I have not tasted most of them, but what I have are way above the usual. I would definitely check out their menu and trust that it’s all top notch. Giant container of homemade chicken soup is next on my list. The only chicken soup that I would currently buy. It’s got to be like mom’s from...

I was a little disappointed when I stopped by there today. I had a gift certificate in the glove compartment of my car that we won awhile ago at a local penny social. I kept forgetting about it and I was passing by there today so I thought I would use it. As I pulled into the parking lot the man at the take out window was waving and very pleasant. I proceeded to ask him if I could use the gift certificate to purchase a few goodies. He said of course, come in and see what you want. I picked out a few items and when he rang it up the total was $19 and change. The woman who was behind the counter said to me, " Isn't this an odd time to be using a gift certificate"? I didn't answer her at first and then she replied, "We are trying to make some money". I didn't know what to say, she made me feel like I wasn't paying for my items because I was using the gift certificate that we purchased at the penny social that they donated. I felt very bad and thought she was a little rude. This is a very hard time...

Stopped at this adorable place yesterday when we brought my sister down for an appointment with the doctor next door. I cannot say enough good things about this PHENOMENAL place. The food is all made fresh to order and it’s made from the most amazingly fresh, top quality products. We had both lunch before the doctors appointment and dinner after the appointment. The owners are such a sweet and sincerely caring couple who went out of their way to make our stops a first-rate experience. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. We live in Binghamton NY which is three hours away - we are coming back to the doctor in a month for a follow up appointment and we cannot wait to eat at The Match Stick again. We bought two different types of brownies and cookies to take home and we can’t stop raving about them as well as our sandwiches, home made potato chips, and homemade French fries! Run, don’t walk to this INCREDIBLY delicious Gem of...
