I have ordered from this diner several times and today is the day I finally say something. The consistency of quality and the portion size are commendable! And the pure vibration of love that goes into these dishes is soul filling. I personally have a fancy for their biscuits & gravy with a side of bacon and each and every time it has been consistent in quality and portion size! I have found that on the days when food just does not sound good or fulfilling I end up craving Matt & Mandy’s.
Today, the customer service is the highlight, not just the food. I had a medical appointment that ended with quite a bit of pain, emotional and physical. On the way back to my mothers house (she drove) we stopped to grab my favorite comfort meal & she ran in to grab it for me. I’m not sure of specifics but essentially my mom and the woman helping her got into a small conversation about the pictures of our HEROS on the walls of the diner. My mom asked if she could bring in a photo of my late grandfather(Vietnam veteran) to which was welcomed with a kindness we are unfamiliar with. That kindness moved her to tears, and genuinely moved me as well. Thank you all for wonderful meals, and a home for local hero’s that shouldn’t be forgotten. It means the world to us families that get to see them...
Read moreMatt and Mandy's Family Diner is great small-town diner with a patriotic decor. The walls are covered in pictures of servicemen and servicewomen from the past and present, many of them locals to the area. Unsurprisingly, this is also a popular place for veterans. I especially appreciated that the diner focused heavily on promoting local businesses on a small TV that hangs over the entrance to the kitchen.
We were happy with most of the food we ordered and the prices were fair for the quality and portion size. The veggie omelet was delicious and the Can't Decide is a perfect choice if you, well... can't decide from their numerous options on the menu. The pancakes were a little too dry for my taste, but I'm willing to try them again. The french toast was plain and a little disappointing. They make a marionberry syrup in-house that I highly recommend trying with the pancakes.
The service was friendly and attentive, and our waitress went out of her way to make us feel welcome despite how busy it was.
The only downside is that the restaurant is fairly small, so the tables are a bit small and the restaurant gets crowded when it's busy. If you don't mind that, then you'll love this place for breakfast!
We plan to visit again soon when we're in the mood for a...
Read moreMy wife and I found this place while visiting Woodland for the Lilac festival and we will surely come back! I had the Dare Ya! sandwich and I must say it was the best sandwich I have had in a very long time. Grilled tender roast beef, ham, 3 cheeses and a delicious roasted Ortega chili that adds a surprisingly delicious burst of flavor. My wife had the BLT, the bacon was a little over cooked, but it was still a good sandwich overall and my daughter had the homemade kids Mac & cheese. The Mac & Cheese had yummy, gooey and cheesy through out and both my daughter and wife loved it. Lastly, they had home made lemonades that were not cheap on the fruit, we got both the strawberry and blue berry.
The inside is a bit small, but completely patriotic with personal pictures of service men and women all over the walls. The bathroom has an entrance from the outside, but was very clean. We sat outside under the tent and enjoyed the weather and the wait staff was incredibly friendly. I can not recommend this...
