Prix fixe 3-course brunch & cocktail was very worth it! Everything was amazing! Would certainly be back for the bottomless cocktails since it’s only $10 more. Beautiful establishment.

Very fast service at lunch. The restaurant was quite noisy today because it was fairly full and there was some sort of celebration going in one large group.

Definitely order the fish early as it’s a whole fish that takes a bit to cook.

Our waitress misunderstood that we wanted to order food so we had to wait a bit. The salad was good but I left a little hungry—I should have ordered a protein add-on or bread…

Silver Spring

About the restaurant

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.
