His background includes management stints at Edwardo’s and a sports bar in Greenfield that is now the site of a Walgreens. Opening a sports bar and serving pizzas, among other items, seemed like a natural progression, so he opened Matty’s in 1997.Īnderson and "Chef Bob," as they call him, collaborated on the pizza recipes and the menu development.
After placing an ad in the paper, Anderson met and hired Bob Nicholson, who still currently runs the kitchen with over 25 years of culinary experience.Īnderson was no stranger to the service industry. College Ave.īusiness continued to grow, so Anderson turned the beer garden into a four seasons room complete with color TV’s and air conditioning, then added another patio behind it.įurther growth led to Anderson deciding to add a full kitchen and hire a chef around 2005. That’s when Matty’s became Matty’s Bar & Grille, 14460 W. Sometimes we would enjoy them on the back patio, which later evolved into a beer garden.Ī couple of years later, owner Matt Anderson added a grill behind the bar and put burgers and sandwiches on the menu. Back then, the bar was about two-thirds the size it is now, and the patio was about a fourth the size it is now.Īfter our Thursday night games, the team would go to Matty’s for a pitcher or two and a DiGiorno’s pizza that was cooked in a small countertop pizza oven behind the bar. Thirteen years ago, some friends invited me to join their softball team.
