The restaurant is very clean. The bathrooms are also very clean. We googled this choice as a long road trip lunch stop! We had checked out the menu and were fairly certain what we wanted.... the Friday special was "50% off bottles of wine and po'boy specials." I looked for the special po'boy on the menu but there wasn't one... so we asked the waitress ... was the po'boy on the menu half off? Nope! Hmmmmm, I'm thinking that sign needed punctuation to make that clear!
So, I ordered fish and chips. The amount of fish was smaller than the child size portion at a place on Virginia Beach. Cost of our meal for what we received was underwhelming to say the least.
My husband ordered clam chowder which was so over thickened with flour that it was aweful. His onion rings were spectacular. Honestly.... they were the only upside of the meal!
We were reminded today while dining in an upscale waterfront restaurant in Portsmouth NH of this disappointing meal at Matt's. We shared a fisherman's platter today that the half portion of the meal was larger than this fish & chips meal!

Service was very good. Atmosphere was pleasantly warming. As for the food: the fried we ordered were extremely salty. Fried shrimp, hush puppies, chicken strips from our order. The chicken in the jambalaya was over cooked and was set aside as it was difficult to swallow.
The remainder of the jambalaya was very good.
Our overall impression after our first visit: we will not return. For the price vs the taste of the food we feel the value was not worth a second visit

I had such a fantastic time grabbing dinner here recently. The vibe is super laid back and welcoming, which is exactly what you want when you are near the beach. The crab cakes were honestly some of the best I have ever had, cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Everything came out fresh, and the staff was really friendly throughout the whole meal, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It is definitely going to be a regular stop for me whenever I am in the area.
