The Matchbox Cafe - Rhinebeck

This was a lovely , little local place. The owners work there every day and were a pleasure to talk to. It is a little expensive but the food quality is good. It was small but there was indoor and outdoor seating. It is decorated rustically and was very homey, warm and inviting. The brownie that we got for a snack was amazing!

This little place has the best burger and fries I have ever had. NYC steakhouse quality burger, seasoned to perfection, and serves with a huge helping of hand cut, tender inside/crispy outside fries.

As soon as you pull up to this quaint little spot, you know it’s going to be good. Whether you were tipped off by the usually packed parking lot, or the incredible meaty smell emanating from the most adorable cottage, you’re probably going to start salivating by the time you reach the door. Inside is just as you’d expect simple, yet filled with comforting local goodies in a warm and rustic setting. Outside there are several different choices for seating with flowers and shrubs lining the perimeter for some privacy. Now... the food. This was by far the freshest beef I’ve ever tasted, seasoned and cooked to perfection, with toppings so crisp I was left pinching myself and wondering if it was all real. You may need a few visits to figure out a plan of attack because it’s a messy one, but oh so worth it. My only complaint is that I didn’t take a second one to go. I can’t come back here fast enough!

This restaurant is adorable, situated on the side of the road, and we decided to try it based on the great reviews. The server was very friendly, and my son's sugar cookie was delicious. However, I was disappointed to pay $19 for an avocado BLT with overcooked bacon that tasted terrible. Even if the bacon had been cooked perfectly, the price is way too high. I only took one bite and couldn't eat any more. The $8.50 generic hot dog was nothing special, comparable to Dairy Queen. Despite the positive reviews, we did not have a good food experience here. Many reviews mention the high prices, and we agree. I would recommend avoiding this place.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and absolutely loved its eclectic atmosphere. I had the pleasure of meeting Sam Cohen, the owner, and instantly felt a connection - she could be my new best friend! My friends and I ordered burgers, fries, and fried chicken, which we simply couldn't resist. The burgers and fries were amazing, but I'm not sure if Sam made the delicious fried chicken - either way, it was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. I will definitely be coming back regularly to this fantastic spot.
