Matthews has been doing pretty much the same thing at the same location since 1955. Tucker Patch reporter Nancy Ross about the place last year in which she described it well: "Many people eat at Matthews twice a day and a few sturdy souls go there for all three daily meals. On an average day, there are between 1800 and 1900 hundred people served," she wrote, adding that "people return in droves. Visiting Matthews is like a trip back into the values of the fifties."

The runner-up, , goes back even further, to 1953, but not at this particular location on Northlake Parkway. It is know primarily for its barbeque.
