About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Lively
Good for groups

Bubbling, thin crust pizzas, mini burgers, crisp salads, and craft cocktails...four great reasons to visit matchbox today. Centrally situated in the Downtown Silver Spring Shopping Center, matchbox offers a warm and lively neighborhood gathering place with an aesthetic reflecting the Silver Spring community and its growth at the turn of the 20th century.

Comfortable dining areas featuring wood tabletops, leather banquettes, and raised booths, as well as a spacious bar area and flexible seating for large groups further emphasize the welcoming, energetic atmosphere that matchbox is known to cultivate at each restaurant. Anchoring the design is a wood-burning oven that catches the eye from any seat in the house as it fires up signature thin-crust pizzas within minutes.

In warmer months, patio dining is available under a pergola, lending an indoor-outdoor vibe to the setting.

They were such an amazing staff honestly. We had a bit of a situation which resulted in us leaving before we could order, the staff was greatly accommodating and offered to rebook us for a different time. We ended up coming back and had the most amazing time ever!

The food is amazing and the price point is a bargain for all you get to eat if you go for brunch. The service was decent. The staff works together. No one was overly friendly or excited to be there but the staff were consistent. The only thing for me that was too much was the volume of the music. They have a live DJ, the music choices were phenomenal, I love it. However, it was just too loud making it tough for conversation.

Was disappointed to see some of our old menu favorites were gone. No more ginormous meatball, crispy chicken and smoke and ? pizza. But a new favorite arose. The fried mac and cheese was delicious. The sauce used was scrumptious. My dinner mates also loved the crab and shrimp pasta, and the cheesecake. I know this is everywhere now, but $16 drinks are crazy. I just refuse to indulge.

We're sorry to hear that some of your old favorites are no longer on our menu. We're constantly updating our offerings to keep things fresh and exciting. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the fried mac and cheese, and that your dinner mates loved the crab and shrimp pasta and the cheesecake.

First visit on Mother’s Day. Had reservation and was seated immediately. Server was excellent. Very Friendly and responsive. Wish I remembered his name 🙁. He was great! The brunch food was delicious with a great variety of choices and the price point was quite reasonable . I enjoyed everything about this visit!! Oh, and I really enjoyed their musical 🎶 selections!

Went today for Mother's Day, and we had a ball. Whomever came up with the concept of price, entertainment, and quality food is a genius! The DJ alone was a vibe! His playlist had the whole restaurant jamming. We danced and he was right there grooving with us. We ordered so much food, and the portions were hefty and fulfilling. Our server was right on time with orders and delivery. My only problem was, we were told no take outs, but i saw several people taking out and when I asked my server, she said they ordered from the regular menu although the regular menu wasn't available during brunch time. Other than that. I can't wait to go back with my friends.
