    Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich
    Tiziana D.

    Amazing food as always 10/10. Service was quick too the only thing since it is a weekend we had to wait a bit for a table but everything else was super fast. I really recommend the million dollar breakfast sándwich!

    I stopped by the First Watch in Pembroke Pines to try their seasonal menu, and it did not disappoint. I ended up trying all the seasonal items, and every single one was a hit. The BTL sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. the tomato tasted fresh, and everything came together really well. The blueberry lemon cornbread was honestly a standout: moist, slightly sweet, and that lemony brightness made it feel special without being overwhelming. I could eat that every day. To top it off, the Pineapple Express drink was refreshing and light, the perfect complement to brunch. Not too sweet and super tropical -- exactly what you want. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Pembroke Pines location was clean, welcoming, and the service was friendly and efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can tell they care about quality and consistency. If you're thinking about trying their seasonal items, do it. Totally worth it -- I'll definitely be back.

    Honey chipotle chicken hash
    Erika H.

    At first I felt overwhelmed because As soon as we entered three employees approached us and were all talking at the same time. I got to my seat upset because was all that necessary at 9:00 am with no coffee in my system?! lol Soon after our waitress came to our table. I started with the hot coffee they serve at the table, in my opinion it wasn't that great but I didn't have high expectations for the free coffee they offer. I then ordered the honey caramel crunch iced coffee and I thought it was good. My boyfriend ordered an iced cold brew coffee and he did not like the taste at all. He told our waitress about it and she recommended another option. He liked the recommendation better than what he ordered at first. Our waitress was attentive and our food came out fast. I tried an item from their fall menu the honey chipotle chicken hash and this was delicious and a big portion. I would come back every fall season just for this item! We also tried the carrot cake and pecan pancake, this was soooo delicious.I had never seen this option before and I'm glad I tried it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great location for breakfast dates and family gatherings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Usually there is a line going out the door but we were lucky when we went on Sunday and we got right in. There is a wait list you can join online, which helps speed up the process. Overall, this is a great breakfast spot.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Last time I was there, over a year ago, I was disappointed by the time it took to get service and the food, although it was clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was salty enough to be inedible and by the time they paid enough attention to rectify it, my companion had completely finished their meal. I declined another choice. By that time, I lost my appetite! They did take that off the bill and gave me a $5 coupon towards another visit which was redeemed today. Went today with a family member because of proximity and time constraints, hoping for a better experience. We were not disappointed. We ordered the bacon,egg and cheese with pickled spicy peppers on grilled sourdough with nicely seasoned hash browned potatoes from the seasonal menu!We ordered a blueberry lemon cornbread to share for something sweet. It came to the table freshly baked in a skillet with an ice cream scoop sized lemon zest butter ball on top! We both had to take 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 potatoes home with 3/4 of the lemon blueberry cornbread. All great for another meal for 2! Service was great! They have officially redeemed themselves!

    Fall Into Fresh Flavors
    Adrian F.

    I went with the Eggs Benedict--salmon, hollandaise, the whole artery-clogging romance. The sauce was silky, rich, and unapologetic. They serve Coke products (a civilizing detail), and that alone keeps me coming back. Halfway through, the power goes out. Lights off, kitchen in the dark. Lesser places would have folded faster than a cheap card table, but not here. The staff didn't flinch. Plates still landed hot, glasses stayed full, and Sarai--our server--never lost her smile. Friendly, calm, and sharp as hell. She's the kind of person who makes you forget you're dining in a blackout. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms? Clean. I check. Always. It's a thing. And they passed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Million Dollar Bacon wasn't on my order today, but you'd be a fool not to try it--it's basically brunch candy with a side of regret. Eggs Benedict in a blackout, Coke instead of Pepsi, and Sarai running the floor like a pro. What else could you want?

    Traditional meal with the million dollar bacon and Purple Haze!

    The food was so good and Jah-nya's service was amazing!!! And we didn't have to wait too long

    Stopped into First Watch for a late breakfast and went with the Farmhouse hash which is my usual go to. Everything on the plate worked so well together. The eggs were cooked just right, the bacon was crispy, the avocado added a fresh touch, and the seasoned potatoes brought it all home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was friendly, and it was just a great way to ease into the day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First watch is always a solid choice.

    BUTTERMILK BISQUIT
    Daren R.

    LOVE THE BIG PORTIONS... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Been to several First Watch locations and love the iconic rustic farmhouse decor throughout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] FOOD: Veggie omelette, buttermilk bisquit and potato wedges. TASTE: Eggs were good and the bisquit was wonderfully fluffy with a smear of sweet raspberry jam. PARKING: Plentiful STAFF: Server Maria was nice, well attentive during our breakfast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]SEATING: Interior and large outside patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] PORTIONS: Massive PRICE: Under $15.00 MENU: Breakfast & Lunch. Pancakes, Waffles, Salads, Eggs, Mimosas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]AMBIANCE: Old southern charm[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] TIPPING: Optional [[HIGHLIGHT]]BATHROOM: Clean with shiny black onyx colored tiled walls and faded nickel faucet style hinges on the mirror continuing the farmhouse vibe, which are nice added touches even including a baby changing table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location was spacious and allows customers a glimpse into the open concept kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you yearn for big portions at a reasonable price then this place is for you.

    Clean up lol

    A good family breakfast service brings everyone together to enjoy warm food, friendly conversation, and a positive start to the day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Freshly prepared meals like eggs, toast, fruit, and hot coffee create a welcoming atmosphere where family members can relax and connect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Smiles, laughter, and kind words make the table feel special and comforting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A well-served breakfast shows care, love, and appreciation for one another. It helps build strong family bonds, encourages healthy eating habits, and sets a happy tone for the rest of the day.

    On my recent visit here I decided to go with their 2 for You in which you can get your choice of two of the following: A half sandwich, A cup of soup or a 1/2 salad. I decided to get the tomato basil soup which was mmm so good and the half Cobb salad. All I can say is if that was a half salad I can only imagine how big the full size salad is. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and my friend who got the 2 for You with the half Monterey club sandwich and tomato soup also really enjoyed her meal. Due to an error with her order she ended up with a half Kale salad as well, which she said was very good. The service was good and our server was very friendly.

    Pancakes, Eggs and sausage
    Janine V.

    This is my first time in a while coming to First Watch and I remember it being a lot better. We got on the waitlist about 20 mins before and only waited like 10 mins when we got there. The service was honestly very good but the food was ok. I got the avocado toast and it was good but not the best I've had. Tasted the ham and Gruyère melt and pancakes and they were also ok. We also had the biscuits and gravy and we didn't like them at all we thought maybe the gravy was old. We did let the waiter know and he kindly removed from our bill. We felt bad but it was that bad. Everything else was ok. Not sure if I will be coming back.

    Mother, my sister and I went to First Watch near Walmart (near Pines and Flamingo. ) Our Host greeted us with a bright welcoming smile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was freezing . Probably due to newly upgrades to the AC[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We asked if we could dine outdoors. Aikeem Reid moved furniture and placed us In the shade. and could not have been a more accommodating and pleasant. He was helpful and continued to check on us throughout our dining experience. Our server was Marie. She was delightful. The food was delicious. Overall a GREAT EXPERIENCE

    They were supposed to be over medium and they were extremely cooked.

    I was a little disappointed took my daughter for breakfast on her B-day they took us to our table after a while while many of the waitresses were standing around talking I had to ask one of them if there was anybody available to take care of us my eggs came wrong ask for sugar waited long time the restaurant was not busy and I actually enjoy eating here. I was a little disappointed today. I hope you guys keep up because you're very impressive when customers are acknowledge.

    My family and I recently got together at Kaluz in Pembroke Pines. I've been to the Fort Lauderdale…read moreand Plantation spots, but this one surprised me. It feels much larger, and the moment you walk in, that beautifully designed bar just grabs your attention. It's spacious, well lit, and really sets the tone. We had reservations, which I'd recommend. Even with the rain and my group arriving in pieces, they seated us promptly, which I appreciated. For dinner, I had the New York strip cooked medium with truffle mac and cheese. Steak was on point, mac and cheese was rich and satisfying, and the Amaretto sour I ordered was balanced and smooth. Portions were generous. I had leftovers. One item I have to call out is the smoke salmon dip. I tried it before and honestly, it's the best salmon dip I've ever had. Super flavorful and smooth, perfect if you want something lighter to share. Kaluz has been consistently great every time I've gone. The Pembroke Pines location is a standout. Great for dates, groups, or just cocktails with friends. Five stars.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like a special occasion. The restaurant is visually breathtaking--featuring massive, beautiful windows, gorgeous lighting, a spectacular central bar, and a stunning water fountain right in the middle that ties the whole atmosphere together perfectly. The culinary experience completely matches the elite atmosphere. We started with the coconut shrimp, which were incredibly delicious, crispy, and fresh. I ordered the barbecue ribs, and they were absolutely divine--fall-off-the-bone tender and perfectly seasoned. My friend ordered the snapper, and it was cooked to perfection--flaky, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Beyond the food and the decor, what really elevates Kaluz is the hospitality. We received the absolute best service from start to finish. The staff is attentive, professional, and ensures that your dining experience feels seamless and celebratory. Kaluz is the ultimate special occasion spot in the area. Between the gorgeous views, the flawless design, excellent food, and top-tier service, it is worth every single star. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

    The Best Decision We Made for Our Son's Wedding Celebration…read more Some moments in life become unforgettable, and celebrating the wedding of our son, and our daughter-in-law, is one of them. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Pembroke Pines for making one of the most important days of our lives absolutely perfect. My wife and I are proud Wine Club members, and every visit has been exceptional. When our son, and our daughter-in-law began planning their celebration, I told them, "I already know where we need to celebrate this special day." God is great, and He placed Jennifer Sierra, Private Events Coordinator, in our path. From our first conversation, Jennifer was a blessing. She didn't treat this as just another event, she planned it, cared for it, and loved it as if it were her own wedding. After more than 38 years in the restaurant and hospitality industry, I know what exceptional service looks like. Jennifer exceeded every expectation. Every detail was flawless. Even while I was overseas for 22 days before the wedding, she was always available, responsive, and one step ahead, giving us complete peace of mind. Today, with her permission, I can truly say she is part of our family. The entire Cooper's Hawk team was outstanding. Every server, runner, assistant, manager, and leader worked together to create an unforgettable experience for our family and guests. A special thank you to Yalber, Ulu, and Salvador. If you're planning an event at Cooper's Hawk, ask for these three gentlemen. They delivered some of the finest service I have seen in my career, treating every guest with professionalism, warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care. I also want to recognize General Managers Ernesto and Marcelo. Ernesto has taken care of us during many Wine Club visits. His professionalism, welcoming smile, and the way he always asked our son, and our daughter-in-law, "When is the big day?" made us feel like family. His leadership played a major role in our decision to celebrate here. Marcelo, thank you for your kindness, leadership, and support. Even with a busy restaurant, you made us feel like we were the only guests. You have built one of the finest teams I have ever seen. And finally, Andrea, you are amazing! You treated this event as your own, staying until the very end to ensure everything was perfect. You weren't just an Assistant Manager, you became part of our family's celebration. Your passion for hospitality shines through in everything you do. As I always tell my sons, "Don't chase money. Chase your passion, and everything else will follow." Andrea, you are living proof of that. If you're looking for the perfect place to celebrate one of life's most important moments, stop searching. Call Jennifer Sierra or Andrea at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Pembroke Pines. It will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make. To Jennifer, Andrea, Ernesto, Marcelo, Yalber, Ulu, Salvador, and the entire Cooper's Hawk team, thank you for your professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, and, above all, the love you poured into our family's special day. You didn't simply host our wedding celebration, you created memories our family and friends will cherish for a lifetime. May God continue to bless each of you. You truly are the best of the best.
