Reviews for The Matador in Laurium, MI
Doesn't answer their phone (tried multiple times over several days). They claim they do take-out, but you can't place an order... unless you apparently go there. Read more
Take out: ordered the meat lovers and garlic parmesan wings, so I thought ans the receipt showed it. But for over $50 we... received a Cheese pizza with 7 pepperoni and 4 pcs of ham with 5 chunks of hamburger. Where's the Meat?? ????????????????. Nowings, we got a crumb battered chicken patty cut into slices, this was so ridiculously funny this man doesn't know his chickenparts. A disgrace to restaurant chefs everywhere. Taste was disgusting. If you don't have bone in wings. Just say you don't havewings instead of disguising a chicken patty: Note, that is not a boneless wing as you called it. Never ever Again....check yourorders don't trust this ridiculously priced chicken patty cook. UNBELIEVABLE TRASH Read more
Stopped in here on a Monday, we were in town visiting my grandmother. It was my elderly grandmother, her friend, me, my husband,... and our 1 year old. It was empty and there was one waitress who was incredibly high. She was confused, didn't know what washappening, and after bringing a random assortment of glasses of water, disappeared never to be seen again. There was a "bandpractice" happening intermittently in the other room. The owner(?) had to screw in a light bulb above us to let us see the menu.After ordering two small specialty pizzas, and my grandmother and her friend ordering chicken marsala (all of which was on thevery small "limited menu") the cook/owner came out to say that only one person could have the chicken marsala "it's a chickenissue" and that the only other things that could replace it was spaghetti or a burger. At this point, all of this was somethingwe were willing to excuse. We understand the limitations of a very small town in covid. What was pretty unacceptable was that wenoticed that someone had clearly dropped and shattered a large glass pitcher just behind our table and there were LARGE hunks ofglass as well as many small shards all over the floor. We had been walking our baby around while we waited on food and I'mastonished that she didn't get injured, as when I went to pick up pieces of glass, there were shards all over the area we hadbeen walking with her. I picked up the pieces and set them on the bar top, because I thought I'd be able to let the owner orwaitress know. But they remained in the kitchen for another half hour. By that time, it had been an hour since we ordered and itwas insanely hot in the building. We opted to leave. The owner came out as we were leaving to ask if we wanted our food togo. When we informed him of the issues, we received no apology, no sense of shock or dismay that there was a slew of glass allover his floors. Just a suspicious stare and an "ok" I'm not sure how far the excuse of "we don't Read more
I've tried to call over 10 times in the last two weeks to take my fiancé there for dinner, have not had my call answered once... yet. Wanted to order take out tonight for our pizza night, same story. Won't be calling again. Read more
Growing up in an Italian family, I have been exposed to Italian food, and the true meaning of sharing a meal. This restaurant... brought me home. The Owner makes the best of what is available on the tiny peninsula, giving a unique variety to the area, aswell as doing the best to make you feel welcome, and even supporting local artists. Considering the obstacles of available localstaffing, ingredients, and supplies, this is by far the best restaurant within this area. I hold high regards to the Owner forholding it all together as long as they have, while juggling the burden of starting up shortly before the pandemic. They arevery skilled in their dishes and presentation, and offer fantastic authentic and even unique selection. True art. I have lovedevery one of them. Thank you for every meal, every smile on mine and my son's when we left, and for keeping your dream aliveand sharing it with the community and people who visit. *Those who have left negative reviews must have had a lack of culturalexposure, and/or not care to understand the local and world wide struggles in the recent years.

Very good pizza. Yes, they are still open, for take-out or delivery. Ill be back again next week for our family "Friday Night... Pizza" Read more
FANTASTIC. Surprising! I ordered their pizza and a burger, did not expect much. BEST pizza I have ever had. Not kidding. ... Perfectly done, excellent sauce and cheese consistency- but the crust is amazing- like very good bread. I never eat pizzacrust- but I wanted to eat this. I've been to over 80 pizza places in my life- this is the BEST pizza. And the burger- came onlike Italian square bread wedges- sooooooo tasty. I swear I am not kidding- the best food in the UP by FAR. I didn't expectthis- I didn't expect to write this- but I had to. I'm over 50 and from a large college city so I think i know thee things! Really nice owner and family, too. Read more
