Great bar, the food is top notch and the good service is always a key part of the fun in going. I love the setup with its huge, matching, high quality, TVs everywhere. It just looks good and you can always find something you want to watch. Highly recommended dropping by anytime, especially on a night Ben is on the Piano. It's always a good time.
Review Source:Myself and a few buddies had the opportunity to stop in here this past weekend (6/15) and we didn't leave disappointed. If you like watching sports of any kind (Including the UFC events) this is your place. I don't believe there's a TV smaller than a 55" and there's a monster-sized projection screen, as well. The bartenders took care of us without a hitch and the 'shakers' are not to be missed (TK Exclusive beverage).
Give it a shot ... Good times with good people.
This is the kind of place I feel like I should be enjoying myself more than I actually am. When I first checked out this establishment, I didn't really know it was the T & A "Hooters" style establishment with Scottish remix. I certainly didn't shy away from having hot eye candy serving me and they have plenty of that going on for them. But seeing how I am not really a Hooters fan (who really goes for the "wings" that food is terrible) I feel like this establishment had a great opportunity to capture me as a fan. It is fairly spacious on the inside so would be nice spot to have a guy's night out. They also typically show most UFCBoxing and other major sporting events (although there may be a cover) so that was a big plus for me. The menu is much more dynamic than the competition and prepared quite well. Â They even have fast free wi-fi guest network named "Hooters Suck" which gave me a nice chuckle. So why only two stars you may be wondering? The service is flat out abysmal. I've come during peak times and off peak times but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I can't tell you how many times I've went in and there would be no greeter at the front, sit down at a table and never have one waiter to even ask if I'm being helped. The wait for food is fairly sluggish. I order a mixed drink that clearly wasn't the correct one and I had my kilt gal proceed to tell me that I was wrong even though everybody at my table agreed with my assessment. All it did was prolong it getting fixed when I continued to complain about it. And they always have the AC on full blast so I have to bundle in layers while 90% of the staff is half naked (I guess it keeps them wanting to move or stay "perky") I do like the concept and i'm hopeful mgmt. will work to improve service as it has plenty of potential. For now, I can't really recommend this place beyond maybe just having a quick beer at the bar. At the end of the day, I'm will to give up some beauty for brains and sense enough to treat their customers better.
Review Source:As soon as I opened the door, I felt like I was in a sports bar more than a pub. It's quite spacious and has an open atmosphere, and there are a ton of nice televisions. The TVs are so plentiful that no matter where you sit, you should have a good view of just about any game that's airing. I kinda dig the decor, everything consists of nice wood paneling or wallpaper in green hues, but it certainly feels more like a commercial chain than a local pub.
I had the "French Connection" burger with garlic fries, and I got to admit I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. Not the best burger I've had by far, but it was definitely tasty. And the garlic fries were pretty good too. My buddies got the club and bbq sandwiches and they had similar results as me. We went a little after 2pm and it wasn't very busy, but it still took a little long to get our food.
Our service was good, our waitress came by several times and checked on us and kept our drinks filled. She made several attempts at small talk, I could tell she was just trying to be nice, but I could see that she was also fishing for big tip. It's already been said, but their attire is very revealing, more so than Hooters. At Hooters the ladies don't show cleavage, and here everyone wears very low cut tops. And truthfully it was kind of creepy to me that half of the patronage consisted of older men who were awkwardly staring at the staff, but that's a knock against the customer's more than it is the restaurant. I just wouldn't feel very comfortable taking my younger nephews or nieces here.
The only time I could recommend the Tilted Kilt is if you're going to watch a game with a bunch of guys. The food is surprisingly good, but it is overpriced. You can get similar food for cheaper, and with quicker service at half a dozen other places in Matthews. But let's be honest, if you're going to the Tilted Kilt odds are the food isn't the only reason you're going.
I love this place! Â Its about time that Matthews got a real bar, where you can go and relax, watch some sports and be taken care of by some of the cutest females in the region. Â Beer specials are great, and they have a great selection of imports. Â For food, try the Shepards Pie! Â Danielle was our server and was so sweet.
Review Source:You pretty much know what you're going to get here even before you walk in the door. Â Under-dressed wait staff, below average food, and overpriced beer. Â This place didn't disappoint on those expectations either.
I'd have given them a higher rating if the talent level was better, but it just wasn't there, on a Friday happy hour - which should be the creme de la creme. Â My wings were not crispy like I ordered and did not have much flavor. Â The beer was cold - yay. Â
I'm not sure why you would come here to be honest, there are better sports bars all over Matthews/South Charlotte - you can do better.
I did know what I was getting into when I stopped at the new Tilted Kilt in Matthews. I had heard they have decent food and wanted to give it a try, so we stopped in during their first couple weeks in business.
We went on a weekend night and, as to be expected, it was packed. Other reviewers have described the concept well enough that I will not rehash the descriptions (and I'll keep my mildly feminist opinions to myself). On this visit, maybe due to the crowd, maybe do to whatever game was on, it was loud. Very loud. For me, that is many times a turn off.
Our server arrived and took our drink orders. I was disappointed in the beer menu. Guinness, Harp, Budweiser, Miller, etc etc...a few craft and NC brews, but they seem to focus on the cliched name-recognition UK imports (and no Scottish beers...where's the BrewDog?) and the standard NASCAR offerings. Blech.
The food, however, did live up to its reputation. They do have one of the better burgers in Matthews and the garlic fries were a nice touch. The meat was moist and flavorful and the other toppings fresh and cut to a reasonable size.
The girls who work here (with the exception of the cook, bartender, and manager, it seemed to be an all-female staff - no surprise there) were very attentive and seemed to have a grasp on the menu. I was confused, though, when our server changed half-way through for no apparent reason and with no explanation.
As I said, the food is good. The bar, concept, and ambiance, not so much. Maybe I'll log this one as "take out only" for the future.
YAY! Â Tilted Kilt in Matthews. Â I think if you take the place for what it is, it's great but if you are expecting something else you won't have such a good time here. Â Went here for drinks and dinner with a buddy and we were warmly greeted by the hostess and then lead around the restaurant. Â She had our best interest in mind since we really didn't care where we sat, but I think one of the girls was going to sit us at a bench high top with another large group of people and the other girl thought otherwise and sat us at a nice 6 person table instead. Â As we were sitting down, the girl asked us if we were still in school/college and we were very flattered since we are about 8 years out of college at this point - but we will take anything we can get. ;)
Our server, Asia... was nice and attentive. Â You could tell she just started working there since she hadn't really gotten the routine yet - after she got our drinks, she sat at our table and chatted with us and asked us for our IDs.... and then asked for our drink orders again (but corrected herself). Â
For a Thursday night, this place was pretty packed watching college games, UFC fight, or various other sports on all the TVs that surround the entire restaurant. Â We ordered food - I ordered the Irish Cheese steak and it was gi-normous. Â The onion rings I "upgraded" my fries from were worth it. Â Light on the batter and nice and crispy.
I'd say this is a solid place to get a drink with good pub food. Â I wouldn't go in here if you are expecting excellent food and white table cloth service. Â The girls are nice and their uniforms are revealing. Â A little less "I like the wings at Hooters" and more "I want Britney Spears to serve me Irish food". Â So yes, it's fun just to watch the waitstaff in action. Â I can see where some ladies might get the wrong impression since it is advertised as a Pub & Eatery, but it is a pretty large chain so people should figure it out pretty quickly.
All the gimmicks aside. Â I think it's great that Matthew's has this option as a restaurant, but the businesses around Independence have been rather hard to keep unless you are a super big restaurant chain.
The Tilted Kilt is close to where I live, so I go there often, especially to watch sports. Â They're a sports bar and have plenty of TVs everywhere.
The beer selection is only OK. Â I had higher hopes in that department, but I'm used to the enormous selection at The Flying Saucer. Â However, I never have a problem finding something to drink! Â The bartenders are usually very attentive, unless it's during a "shift change," when they're more worried about cashing customers out and changing drawers in the registers. Â One time during a shift change, I had intended to stay and watch another football game, but after over an hour of waiting for someone to ask me if I wanted another beer, I gave up and left. Â This was an isolated incident, as I've said, they're usually very good.
Most of the servers/bartenders are very nice and friendly. Â It seems that many of them spend more time socializing with each other, rather than the customers. Â The focus on customer service is not as strong as it was when they first opened, and the staff was fresh out of training. Â There are some bartenders/servers who have waited on me several times, and I couldn't tell you their names. Â I like the ones who introduce themselves and write their names on the coasters. Â (Guess which ones get a bigger tip?)
The food is a little expensive for what you get, but is generally pretty good, with some exceptions. Â The Irish Nachos sounded like a good idea, but they were very salty, and I never need to order them again. Â The Roasted Garlic Fries are good, but probably not worth the up-sell. Â The BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger was excellent. Â The wings can vary (I liked them traditional style, but not grilled, though that could depend on who made them). Â I enjoyed the Scottish Cheesesteak, Pastrami Sandwich, and Spicy Sausage Sandwich. Â Tried the Tilted Guilt and it was about what you'd expect--nothing special.
I like the Tilted Kilt, and will continue to frequent there. Â There's room for improvement, as there is with just about any restaurant. Â But at the end of the day, the beer is cold, the food is good, and the girls (and even the guys) are friendly.
This place is a pure disappointment - waitresses (and at last count) there were 7 all grouped together by the kitchen window, talking among themselves. Â We waited at least 10 min after being seated before we were even acknowledged. Â And then the waitress that took our drink order made sure we understood she was not our waitress. Â Ok - got it - but can you bring the drinks? Â Drinks followed after another 10 min and they were not even busy. Â Finally, one waitress broke loose from the herd and came over to take our order - bless you my child!
Now I am not a prude but those "costumes" are not big enough to cover all of the tattoos on the girls - kid you not! It appears that the waitresses were hired based on the amount of ink that would show. Â Enough of that - onto the food - bland at best - fries totally cold, burger just okay - only good thing was the cold beer. Â Will not return here - way too many places around this location to justify spending money for poor service and mediocre food.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is place is horrible! Don't ever come here! Sure the girls are "hot", but they are extremely rude and bitchy, not sure if its because their kilts are too tight or because they don't get any customers at all. Seriously this place is a ghost town. Music is really loud and annoying. And it's like a dungeon here it's very dark and scary. Came here for New Year's Eve expecting to be packed and pumped up, total opposite. It's dead for a reason. Now... On to the food, ugh! Food was disgusting! My friend ordered some type of hot wings. They were sticky and not spicy. she found a feather, yes a chicken feather! I ordered the jalapeño burger, well done. Well let me tell you it was well burnt. The jalapeños were slimy and stale and not spicy at all. And not to mention the $10 price tag was not worth it. The fries were mediocre, stale, not enough salt and dry. Oh and all of our food was brought out cold. All im saying is that they probably dont have any chefs, but just high school kids workings as cooks. It's very pricey too!  Expect to pay $50 for 3 people, with that money you can just go to the olive garden or to a hooters at least. To you tilted kilt I can only shake my head and tell friends not to step into this place, ever.
Review Source:The Tilted Kilt has a reputation for being akin to a vaguely-Scottish-themed Hooters: that is, most people go there for visual rather than gustatory pleasures. Therefore, I never really had an interest in checking out Matthews' new Titled Kilt, since the flesh on display isn't really according to my tastes.
Last week, however, we were looking for something to eat. We didn't want to drive too far, and we were bored with most of the other nearby options. I recalled someone telling me that the Tilted Kilt actually had decent food, so off we went, albeit with some trepidation.
It turns out that, unlike when they are talking about Hooters, when people say that the Tilted Kilt has good food, they are actually being truthful. My blue cheese burger was quite tasty, and the onion rings were delicious. I've had better burgers, but I don't know that I've had a better burger in Matthews, so there you go. I did feel a little self-conscious, as the restaurant's crowd was quite obviously 98% boob-ogling men, but our waitress was sweet and prompt, and we left satisfied.
