This review will address the two components that contributed to a two star rating: Â the quality of the food and the service.
First, the food. Â I sought this place out because I'm a mac n cheese junkie and was intrigued by the menu that boasted 13 types of gourmet concoctions - pizza mac, Â buffalo mac, and lobster mac to name a few. Â I promise that if you are a cheesy pasta junkie as I am, you will find their mac n cheeses to be just okay. Â They are indeed very cheesy, but lacking in flavor. Â My mom could do way better. Â We also ordered the Walkabout Chicken Rolls as an appetizer, to which the waitress (our very nice, but pretty bad, waitress) enthusiastically responded with "those are one of the best things on our menu!" Â They were very underwhelming, unless you like when the flavors of your food are masked by too deep of a fry.
Back to the waitress, who remains MIA as I draft this review between sips of beer: Â we ordered an appetizer and a mac n cheese trio to split. Â We asked that they be brought out separately but they were brought at the sane time. Then, get this: Â she randomly and suddenly brought us our check at the second we took our final bites of the meal. Â We were trying to make a nice evening of it and wanted to order a few more beers and maybe another app, but we felt nothing short of rushed out.
Finally, to clarify why this wasn't a one star review. Â
1) good drink selection and a pretty decent happy hour
2) great vibe for hanging out and watching the game. Â The clientele was a cool mixture of biker dudes/chicks and college kids.
Still, I won't go back. Â I can get better food and better service at many an other place.
My fiancée is Australian so while we saw this place on the way to Philly, we thought we had to stop here. They did have a couple Australian items on the menu (Lamington, Rooburger), but the plethora of mac n cheese didn't seem very Aussie-like.  I asked the server and she said the former owner is Australian but they have new owners from New Jersey.
Anyway it was pretty average college bar unhealthy food. My fiancée is a vegetarian and had problems finding something to order that wasn't mac n cheese
This is the place to go if you want to sit behind an empty glass. Â The service was very slow despite me and my friends going during a down time of the afternoon when there were only a handful of people. Â Bartender seemed content with simply ignoring us for the duration of our time there. Â Food was OK and prices seemed reasonable but no reason to stop here for food or a drink again.
Review Source:I've now been to Matildas what I consider a fair amount of times to write a proper review. We went recently and I ordered the rib eye. I must admit, I can be a steak snob of sorts, but I wanted to like it. It had so much pepper on it, however, that I could barely taste the steak. Next, the service. When our meal came, my husband asked for bleu cheese dressing. The waitress took so long to come back, he had decided to forgo, and at his sandwich plain. Then we asked for a to-go box, and I kid you not, she walked by our table THREE times without the box. When she dropped off the check and asked if there was anything else we needed, I said "a box," and then she slightly giggled and said, "yeah! I keep forgetting it." Considering it was not a busy night at all, I think maybe thre other tables besides us, I was quite disappointed. And this is how it is whenever we've gone. Food is either too bland, or overseasoned, and once it arrives, waitress disappears until it's time for the check.
Review Source:There are two sections inside Matildas, one section has the bar and is usually loud with live music, while the other section has the restaurant and is less crowded and more relaxed. I chose to dine in the restaurant section, especially after hearing an awful rendition of a John Mayer song blaring through the bar.
I love Australian pub food. I had the kangaroo burger, which was HUGE and featured yummy well-seasoned kangaroo meat, with overly salted fries I barely touched. My compadre got the trio of mac and cheeses (chef's selection). Hating all things cheesy, I didn't try her dish, but she told me the spinach artichoke mac & cheese was a lot better than the other two choices. It's a decent restaurant to get greasy food, but it's missing a few factors to be considered more than okay.
Took advantage of a Groupon for this place. What a rip. Â The Mac and cheese was pretty much flavorless, the salad-almost all lettuce, and the dessert spring rolls were rescued by the ice cream. As for the Groupon - they limited your choices so much you only break even. Â THAT IS A LOSS based on the food!
Review Source:I truly wanted the place to be better than it was, alas it was just another pub restraunt trying to find a niche.
They use an Australian niche and I suppose that works, but the food is bland and the menu poorly scripted. The service was purely average and the loud atmosphere was not condusive with dining.
I think Paul Hogan would not be pleased, but to the average joe it's an ok place to sit and have a shrimp off the Barbie.
Went in and there was some mixup about who was supposed to be our server (we sat in a booth and then waited for about 15/20 minutes until someone came to our table). Finally, we flagged down a waiter, who was very apologetic about the situation, something about a shift change.
The waiter was really great at giving suggestions on things we might like. We tried the wings with their secret sauce which was quite good. A little sweet but with a kick, and very tasty.
Also, we got the pizza mac and cheese with pepperoni, which was really yummy as well as the mushroom one with cheese and truffle oil. Both were really tasty, and we couldn't decide which one we liked better.
Really yummy food, and I'll probably stop by again next time I'm nearby to try out another one. . . I have my eye on one of their specials with spinach in it.
A few of us came here on a Friday night and were seated at a booth in the bar area. Â The waiter was very friendly and quick. Â There was live music, which was nice because it wasn't too loud and we were all able to still have a conversation. Â For an appetizer, we split the spinach and artichoke dip. Â It was okay. Â Not the best I have ever had. Â It seemed to be missing salt or some key ingredient. Â However, for my entree, I got the Mad Mac, which is just your basic mac and cheese but with bacon and bbq sauce. Â Amazing. Â I am still thinking about it right now. Â It was definitely a big enough serving, that I made two meals out of it. Â But I highly recommend it.
Review Source:First i want to just note the sheer number of blocked reviews, i found it rather odd. Regardless a large group of us decided to come here during Hurricane Irene.
It was still open, so we filled 3 car loads and headed over. It was seat yourself so we took 3 booths in the bar area. We were greeted by the bartender whom we thought was a waitress who was really just helping and the bartender. They were short staffed but things still came out pretty promptly.
We ordered there wings and buffalo dip for the table and I ordered their chiefs special which was a combination of their Snookie Mac, lobster Mac and Greek Mac. Â The waitress eventually came and took over our table. Â The apps came our pretty quick and they were good, the hot sauce for the wings was pretty taste. We ordered the hottest ones and generally some places just make them as miserable as possible. They were pretty taste here. The dip was also pretty good but nothing special in my opinion.
When our food came out I received a nice 3 bowl plate with a helping of each type of Mac. I have to say you do receive a decent size portions. The lobster Mac was awesome, the Greek one was a little overpowering with the olives, but I don't always like them so that could just be me. The Sookie Mac was also pretty good with little pieces of sausage in there.
All in all I have no regrets coming here and given the chance I would come again.
This restaurant was reviewed on a website called "I-95 Gourmet" and seemed like a reasonable bet. Â I had read about their mac-and-cheese-plus pulled-chicken with hot sauce. I went for it even though there were 'roo burgers on offer ... Anyhow, it was an immense portion (too big, but I at it anyway). Â The chicken was somewhat bland -- I was imagining something a little bar-b-que-y; the mac and cheese was good, also a tad bland; Â the special sauce was quite good but did not dominate. Â
It's a friendly place; by 9 on a Saturday evening, when I was there, most of the action was in the bar (there was a live act on).
I'll definitely try it again. Â There is a fairly extensive menu; a little pricey for the area perhaps but again, service and qualtiy was fine.
