The teens they hired are constantly in the back chatting, on their phones, or goofing off. I had to flag someone down repeatedly to get served or a refill.

I got 2 sausage links that didn't look or smell pleasant. When I cut one open it was uncooked and sickly sweet smelling. I informed one of the kids/teen servers and they took the sausage back. They returned with the sausage cut half and grilled until it was no longer raw looking. I explained that the sausage wasn't only uncooked when I sent it back, but it had gone off. They looked at me as if I were fussy or something. I told them to tell the cook to smell it and taste it.

Jesus, put some date stickers on your containers in the back. That meat was foul smelling, how did no one notice that? But also, don't send it back out after you've cooked it more, it's still spoiled meat.

I stopped eating here. They need to properly wipe the tables down with actual cleaning liquid so it's not sticky.

😩 Sorry guys, it was an okay place at the beginning of...

Went to Mateo's for the first time last Friday, 8/9, and was very pleasantly surprised. The food was great, it was delivered to our table quickly and everything was hot when it was served! Our waitress (Michelle) was friendly and attentive. I had the haddock fish fry and the portions were extremely generous. The batter on the fish was light and crisp (not soggy) and the fish was white and flaky. It came with fries, which were also great, coleslaw with nice light dressing, bread, and a cup of soup. It was a great value for the money and I would highly recommend it! It's really nice for the community to have such a wonderful new restaurant as an alternative offering to the other existing restaurants. Try it out...you won't be...
