A little info

Hi everyone! Sorry we have not posted any information lately, but things were moving like a snail for a while and there was really no news to tell.

Before I continue, let my introduce ourselves. We are Peter and Gretchen Matta. MaryLou and Manuel Matta (founders of Matta's Restaurant) are Peter's grandparents. If any of you know Peter then you know he was running the Main street location for many years, but mostly loved working in the kitchen. So if you don't recognize his face when we open it's because he was either in the office being the mastermind or in the kitchen cooking your dinner.

Now on to business. We have a great design for the new restaurant and think everyone will be very pleased! Our architect, Ted, has worked hard to put our ideas on paper. Not to mention some of his own great ideas!(thanks also to Jeremy!) If anyone out there is thinking of building a home or business I highly recommend Allen Homes for architecture and construction.

Our new Matta's will be 5000 square feet, including the kitchen. We will be using some of the old fixtures from the original Matta's. Our wishes are to keep the same Spanish /Mediterranean atmosphere. We will be a full service restaurant with a Cantina, an outside patio and a separate take out area. Things are running full steam ahead now!

How does the size of the new Mattas compare with the old Mattas?

I can't wait for you to open up for business again.

I am excited for you to get the website back up and going too. Me and my Sister and Brother now live in Alabama and Tennessee and we are missing the hot sauce. Would love to be able to order online and have it shipped to us again.

Thank you,
Melanie

I was so excited when I heard that this is finally going to happen. The Wright family has been coming to Matta's ever since I can remember! I was devastated when you guys closed. It was such a sad day. Sure we go to the Matta's Grill, but just isn't the same. I probably go thru the drive thru about once a week just for the hot sauce. I make a pretty mean salsa, but love the hot you guys make. Would love to have that recipe!!!!!! Anyway, so excited to see this is finally going to happen! Be assured we will be first in line when you open!
