Matthews Cafeteria

There is a reason why the have been in business 70+ years! Visited for my first time tonight and the food was really good. The staff was friendly and kind. A great experience! Loved the fried chicken, and the peach cobbler, and the stuffing! The sweet tea was spot-on! Perfect! Not too sweet, just the right amount! Definitely coming back with the family.

So this is my second time eating here. Wow what a difference. First experience, food was very good. The fried chicken was good. But this time I got the country fried steak. 9.25 for one piece. Which I don’t care about the price if it’s good. Although it looked pretty good, it was not good to me. It was putting cubed steak in a pan and covering it with boxed stove top stuffing and a few onions and putting in the oven. It was very bland, no flavor, mushy in texture and chewy. Almost couldn’t eat it. But I did because I hadn’t eaten all day. $19.98 for meat, 2 sides and a tea.. Not the quality for the cost.

Great home style country cooking. The food is fresh and flavorful but not overwhelming seasoned or salty. I’m a repeat customer and have not had a bad dining experience yet. The staff is nice and welcoming. If you are missing grandma’s cooking or just craving some southern comfort food, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Expensive but excellent Southern Faire. Thr lemon meringue was better than the beautiful Strawberry shortcake. Individually priced and dining room was nice. A change from typical restaurants and chains for my teen

I grew up going to Matthew’s cafeteria. Whenever I am in Tucker I always stop in to eat. The food is amazing, large portions of delicious southern classics. Family owned business, doing it right. My favorite hometown restaurant.
