Matthews Travel Guide

 heatheraycoth Says:  There isn't a ton to do in Matthews, but this is a great family place to go bowling. Make sure you get there early, or that you plan to wait a while. This place is usually pretty busy and they don't reserve lanes by... 

 acemj Says:  Matthews Presbyterian Hospital has been around since the mid-nineties and is really a nice looking place. There is a huge pond (not pictured here) in front of the building in addition to this fountain. Hopefully, you won't have to visit, but if you do have an accident,... 

 acemj Says:  Excerpted from the Reid House's web site:'The Reid House was built in 1890 by Edward Solomon Reid, who was a businessman in Matthews. Mr. Reid sold the house to his sister Ellen in 1893, the year she married Dr. Thomas Neely Reid. Upon his graduation from City University of...

 etfromnc Says:  Does it mean that the town you live in is too small, if you can keep up with, even predict, which restaurants and other places of business are going to undergo drastic changes because you know what families are dealing with domestic crises? When I first moved to Matthews, a... 

 etfromnc Says:  In April of 2007, this restaurant (formerly the Tryon House) closed down for three weeks and reopened as Jonathan's. I was pleased with my first meal there (Salmon fettucine Alfredo) but it did not take them long to overcome their good first impressions. The restaurant has... 

 etfromnc Says:  There are two Italian restaurants in the Matthews Festival Shopping Center and one is almost literally right behind the other. The first you will see from Independence Boulevard is Carabba's with the better one, Fontanella, about 50 yards behind it. Carabba's is a chain and... 

 etfromnc Says:  A hole in the wall, fast food Chinese restaurant which offers free delivery for orders of $10 or more. I do not really have a favorite here. They have 26 lunch and 26 dinner specials, 13 chef's specials, and 110 other items on their menu. The food is not going to make... 

 etfromnc Says:  A relatively typical Chinese "Dine in or take out" Chinese restaurant. Counter, drink dispenser, six or eight tables, linoleum floors, and a family-owned atmosphere. The food is ample and good but not spectacular. Excuse me if this is stereotyping, but Oriental-Americans are... 

 etfromnc Says:  Matthews has a new town hall which is the centerpiece of what could really become a shopping/entertainment/dining destination. Matthews Station Street leads from Trade Street to this new building and is lined on both sides by (new) early 20th Century looking two-story... 

 acemj Says:  This place is a family owned institution in Matthews. It's always pretty crowded and is definitely the best place in town to watch a ballgame. Buffalo-style Chicken Wings. 

 acemj Says:  It seems like every kid in Matthews play Little League baseball and much of that action takes place here at Arthur Goodman. They recently put a stoplight at the entrance to the parking lot which makes accessing the park much easier. 

 acemj Says:  Matthews has a great community spirit. On summer evenings you'll find huge crowds watching kids playing baseball at the local park. The people who live here don't think of Matthews as a suburb of Charlotte, but instead as their very own neighborhood community. There are some...
