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.

    The food was amazing! Our favorites were the blueberry lemon pancakes and the spinach artichoke dip. Due to a tabling issue, we were moved to another table after having already been brought our biscuits. Other than that, the customer service was great!

    Nice brunch with a variety of food, and good selection of unlimited drinks. We got the bottomless drink option and they gave us a full bottle of champagne for mimosas. We came on a Saturday which had a live DJ playing, which was nice however opted to sit outside since the weather was good and the music inside was rather loud.

    food was good! i expected the portions to be slightly bigger since its family style but it wasn’t. for example we ordered french toast and it was just a slice cut in half. but it also differs because the pancakes were alot.. they were not the quickest with bringing the food (which i expected, it was a busy easter sunday) but they also kept bringing food and not taking plates off the table so we were struggling for space almost every second. i wish the drinks were stronger also. bottomless didnt feel like anything, even 4 drinks in. i highly recommend the cajun fetuccine pasta though!
    matchbox Silver SpringResponded on April 21, 2025
