Matty's Next Door Sports Bar 635 South Main Street, Middletown, CT 06457

"My second time here, had their burger and fries, really good! The fries weren't overly greasy or salty which was a nice change from other places, liked the atmosphere, friendly people and staff, has a nice little patio area in the back"

"Went here to meet a friend to watch the Patriots on Monday night. First time. Food and drink are fine, but the service was less than adequate. Small group of people at the bar, but glasses were left empty for long periods of time (not just my group, the fellows to our right were also frustrated). Not once did the bar tender ask if we wanted refills, we had to struggle to get her attention. Her eye contact with us was minimal to do that, and unless I'm in an overcrowded city bar I'm not going to raise my voice for attention. Shouldn't have to. At one point she disappeared entirely from behind the bar to go and sit and chat with someone at a table. I'm not necessarily against that, so long as your customers are taken care of first and foremost, and your eyes are constantly checking on them. We were not taken care of."

"Good wings with some good specials on appetizers. Lots of old, drunk white guys having fun there. But not enough people working there to attend to diners. Waiter missed an app we ordered (he didn't write it down), never brought ketchup for our burgers and fries (didn't return to ask), and while I appreciate a mixed drink having its fair share of alcohol it was so strong it was hard to drink. The place is loud and generally friendly. The burgers were "ok" but mine tasted a little weird (might have been the cheese). Pizza might be a better choice here."
