This night I decided to have the hot roast beef sandwich with rustic mashed potatoes and gravy. It was served as expected. The meal came with a slice of Texas toast topped with a pile of roast beef, a mound of mashed potatoes–both covered with tasty gravy. I thought the dish was very good.
A couple other members decided to get the firecracker shrimp. This dish is an appetizer but they thought it sounded delicious. It is fried shrimp, tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce, which does have a nice kick to it...very good.

Brian: Can I count the ways in which I love The Matt’s firecracker shrimp? You bet. We’ve been there countless times -- so I knew it would suffice for my meal. Since, we ate at 4 p.m. this day I did order a side of sweet potato fries, which were yummy too. The shrimp aren’t huge but appropriate size for an appetizer dish. This day they were fried to perfection and married in a sweet and spicy sauce. A waiter on a previous occasion shared with us the heat came from the oil they used to prepare the dish. Mr. Brown helped me with a couple shrimp; hence, he can attest to the “very good” taste.
ReplyDeleteYou must have caught them on a good night because in the 4 times I've been there, only 1 visit was truly enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThis place is overpriced and underwhelming.
Sorry to hear that Anonymous. I think eating at The Mattress Factory one has to go in with the mindset that it is bar food. With the exception of dinner club all the other times we ate there happened to be before events we attended at CenturyLink or TD Ameritrade. So, speed and price is a high priority for us and they haven’t disappointed us yet. Something I would ding them on is how often they change the menu. They had a wonderful tomato salad they offered but the next time we ate there it was gone. According to our waiter, they change the menu up every three months or so.
ReplyDeleteThis is just an average bar. There is nothing that elevates it above the other bars and restaurants in the area.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Every time we have dined at the Mattress Factory they are always busy and this night was no different. The surveys our club members take after each meal are the same. Everyone truly enjoyed their meal. However, a pet peeve I have with the restaurant is they always are changing the menu.
