Old Bay, chicken wings, and crab soup
Mignon B.

While shopping at Sawgrass Mills, I always stop by Matchbox for a much-needed break, hydration, and energy reset. The food is consistently good, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. My go-tos are the crab soup, Old Bay chicken wings, pepperoni, pizza, and chicken fettuccine Alfredo--and they also have a nice weekend brunch, which is worth checking out. A reliable spot to relax and refuel during a long shopping day.

The biggest problem with this place is the reception; there's never anyone at the front desk to show you to your seat, and it takes a long time for someone to appear and do it. After someone finally appeared and I sat down, my daughter and I opted for: - Fig and prosciutto pizza $19.00, which was very tasty despite having almost no prosciutto in it. - Bistro burger $19.00, I don't know where that's a bistro because there's nothing special about that burger. Overall, very expensive for ordinary food. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant but quite normal.

Chicken + Waffles
Alexina A.

Matchbox at Sawgrass is a must visit! We did the unlimited brunch with unlimited drinks, and it was truly worth every dollar. The food was incredible, the steak and eggs were cooked to perfection, and the chicken and waffles were a standout. We started with the spinach dip, and the portions were seriously generous! The drinks were just as impressive..unlimited old fashioneds and strawberry lemon drops? Yes, please! The ambiance was very chill with great music! A special shoutout to our server, Jadee, who was absolutely amazing and had spot-on recommendations. We can't wait to come back for another unforgettable brunch!

Alfredo Pasta

The service was not good. We came in for lunch on a normal Tuesday, and there was no one at the front to seat us. There ended up being a line to be seated because no one was coming for at least 7 minutes. Finally, when we were seated, the girl had to rush to clean our table, and we didn't have cutlery for 30 minutes. Someone came to take our order quickly, but when we asked for lemon and ice with our waters, nothing. Had to wait for the other waitress to bring it again. Our main waitress was very nice and quick. I feel bad, it seems like they're understaffed or something. We ordered the lunch special, where it's a salad and sandwich or a salad and pasta. I ordered the apple and pear salad with the chicken sandwich (see pictures) everything was really good! The value was really good. The portion size was really good too! Left full, and my friend even had to take some home with her cause of how full she got. Overall, it was a good experience. The environment was cute, clean, very big, and red, but it was totally empty when we arrived. I would come back to try again; maybe it was just an off day.

First i want to say the manager and our server was amazing. Eddie the manager and Julio our sever was nice listened and responded to critism. We started with cheese bread and it was ok. Then my drink was a cranberry sangría non alcoholic tasted like cranberry juice with a leaf it was supposed to have apple slices but that was missing. Then my fish and chips looked amazing but lakes flavor. I added salt and pepper to make it more flavorful. Despite that i live sitting outside and people watching and i will always come back to try more food on the menu

Sunday Brunch: We were disappointed. We got seated about 12:40. After our first drinks came at about 1, we waited for our server and didn't order a second drink or food until 1:40. The drinks came out wrong. Each time we ordered drinks they were different! I don't know if I was drinking a mimosa or a martini. Most of the time, it tasted like a mimosa yet advertised as a lemon drop martini. We got 1 drink every hour with bottomless being $25 that's ridiculous and a waste especially if they actually enforced the 2 hour table limit. After being there over 3 hours we each only tried 2 things on the $49 "unlimited" menu. Moreover I am dissatisfied with how long everything took! We could not enjoy the menu, atmosphere, music nor drinks because we were hAngry. Everything you order (drinks and food) takes 1 hour to come out. The drinks were room temperature. The food was barely warm. The food did taste well. I just wish it was actually warm. The Buffalo wings were my favorite. We enjoyed catfish & grits, steak & eggs were good. The French toast toppings made it to tart. They have a great concept, but it doesn't seem thought through for the crowd. Not some place I'd like to recommend positively to others, hoping it improves over time.

Stopped in last min Sunday midday to grab something quick after running errands all morning, and we had a great time! The music was amazing, the crowd was great and eveyone genuinely seemed to have been enjoying their brunch! We were seated right away, and we placed our orders for a few Bloody Mary's, and 2 meals. I opted for the shrimp and grits, which was delicious! Well cooked shrimp, not overdone or tough, and the grits were seasoned well with Cajun spices. We also ordered the beef sliders, with a side of biscuits. The 2 meals came out, and the biscuits arrived about 20 minutes after we placed our orders. Seemed so odd for a very simple menu item. By the time they came out, we were done with our meals and asked for a box to take them with us. The Bloody Beer was delicious (a version of their Bloody Mary), it was refreshing, and had a good tomato to beer ratio. I never knew that Matchbox offered a bunch option, but is wonder if you're visiting with some friends. For about $35 you get unlimited food for 2 hours, not including drinks (drinks have a different set pricing). I'll definitely be returning, mainly for the grits and some bloody Mary's!

Walnut salad with pear and blue cheese.
Mike G.

This place is very nicely decorated, very convenient and located in the mall property. They have a room for events that is separate from the dining room and is really a very fancy and elegant spot to throw a gathering of 20-30 ppl. I recently attended a work event here and the food was top-notch. Service and ambience the same. Very well done. I had the ribeye which was extremely flavorful, and cooked perfectly, especially considering around 15 others ordered it in my group (of about 25). The mashed potatoes and asparagus were also 5/5! But the star of the show was very surprising. It was the pear and walnut salad! With blue cheese which I usually hate! WTH do they put in that dressing!? Either way it is paired so well and excellently balanced. This was a triangulation of everything hitting the spot and the night being memorable because of the place we chose to do the dinner event. And that deserves a 5/5 in my book. I'd def go back and get that same meal. Oh almost forgot! The cheesecake was also very tasty.

Clean and unique interior with cartoon characters on the tables. Service was pretty quick and They offer Unlimited brunch on the weekends !! You can order 2-3 three items at a time from the menu and the breakfast burrito is self served. Food was pretty good, Definitely order the hot honey pizza!! Best thing on the menu. Unfortunately the chicken with my waffle was bland and cold

Abigail P.

I tried brunch at Matchbox twice and I loved it. Chris our server on my first visit was very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure having him assist us with our orders. Everything that we ordered was delicious. I had the Waffles with bacon with a side of Fried Chicken strips. I also ordered the peach mimosa- that was delicious. I only needed one glass

Dawn W.

Stopped in for some post shopping bites and was pleasantly surprised by the happy hour menu. We took a seat outside to enjoy the weather and people watch. I didn't want to spoil my dinner so I had the wings and meatballs. Everything came out quickly which was great because I was famished! Lol. Our server was polite and efficient. And the food was pretty good. I'd definitely stop back in when in Sawgrass.

Visited this restaurant for their happy hour specials at Sawgrass Mall. The food and drink options for happy hour were very affordable and tasty based on what we tried. We also enjoyed one of their craft beers and a guava margarita. Be aware that the happy hour specials are only valid for bar seating, if available. A great option in the mall for a quick bite and drink.

The CREAM OF CRAB SOUP is deliciousssssss!!! I'm a soup girly and I loved this. I didn't love the herb crusted salmon salad, I think that was probably a mistake on our part, but the other salads sound so much better. Side of fries helped wash down the mistake salad. We'll come back again to try more of the menu. Our waiter was nice and the people watching is great at Sawgrass!

Then The Traveling Plate is it's Black Op's. And there Op's are Blacker then yours, just try to find there dining room, I dare ya, The clandestine world wasn't made to be easy, there are dangers, pitfall, spies, and intrigue. Even asking the old Cuban guy at the coffee shop, who swears he was in the CIA during the Bay of Pig's, is gonna say WTF or No Hola, depending on just how clandestine he thought he was. In order to find where there going to commence there secret operations, you have to be invited in, so find a CI (Confidential Informant), they can source you to Facebook or www.Travelingplateftl.com remember sources may laed you to ARC Broward Culinary Institute, but that's just a shell business, trying to lead you in wild goose chace, yes it's a dangerous game. Your stealthy skill will pay off when you friend them in Facebook, as everyone looks for anonymity in the spy game. Once you friend them or site them on the World Wide Web, there's a treasure trove of information, you've cracked the nut, and the bitch is singing, now you can take off your silencer, and holster your weapon, your now a super spy, and you can find where The Traveling Plate will actually pop up next. But, all this information doesn't come cheap, not like going to Nobu, more like $35.00, and with this you'll get a three to four course theme meal. Tonight's theme Italian and there specialty tonight Champagne Risotto. The Traveling Plate is affiliated with ARC Broward Culinary Institute, they find themselves going to fine kitchen appliance stores of course after they close, please we spies don't want to be seen. So not only are you a spy, but your a Burglar too! Watergate 101. The Traveling Plate tonight went to Allied Kitchen and Bath, setup and activated there mission, cook outstanding food. The ambiance is what you make of it, but there is a certain intimacy, you and twelve to sixteen strangers, getting to know one another. Your involvement with the chef, is a a mere word that is NEVER used in South Florida, that secret word is "ExcuseMe", and presto the chef speaks. Bottom line the Traveling Plate is like being invited to a party, where you don't know anyone, but you will soon. Bring your own bottle, as State Beverage still trumps Black Op's in this operation.

A great meal benefiting a great cause! We went to the October event and really enjoyed it. We sat…read morewith some unbelievably kind people and had a delicious meal.
