    We catered food from here and it was phenomenal! We had two large salads. One Caesar and the other was with black olives, tomatoes, cucumber, mozzarella etc. Then we also had a variety of sandwich wraps. The cookies..... oh the cookies... delicious. Everything was fresh and the delivery young lady was efficient with setting up. I most definitely would be delighted to have this food catered in again. Enjoy!

    I really enjoyed the food from this place. I ordered it for catering for my job and I am used to not getting the best quality with large quantity foods so I was happy to see how good everything looked. The caprese panini was delicious and everyone else liked the paninis as well. I didn't try the wraps since most of them had meat but they did look really fresh. Also the gourmet cookies were to die for!

    The pizza!!!

    My first job was a teller at Ocean Bank located in Kendall and 109 ave, during that era of my life I used to order amazing pizzas from the Big Tomato. They closed and I found out that they moved to Pinecreast and decided to relive my college year and order a pie with my usual topping black olives. I picked it up and and ate it but sadly it was not the same. They still had it chewy tips but the bread was too thick and not crunchy. I am glad I tried it one more time, but sadly not like their glory days.

    Traditional Pizza raw

    I love big tomato. I've always found this to be my go to pizza. I always get the same thing, a 10" cheese pizza or pepperoni. As well as sometimes get the Caesar Salad which is one of my favorite salads! Unfortunately recently their quality has decreased as well as the customer service. I placed a delivery order for a 10" cheese pizza and the entire dough was completely raw. I complained through Uber eats. But I also decided to call the restaurant just to give them a heads up that the entire pizza was raw and their response made the entire situation worse. The lady that answered the phone apologized then proceeded to blame me for asking for extra cheese and that it was the reason the dough was undercooked. Then suggested that I made a request for the pizza to be well done in the future. I didn't need my pizza to be well done, I just needed it to be cooked thoroughly. I have ordered the same thing for a long time and this has never been an issue. So blaming the customer for a restaurant issue was not acceptable. A simple apology would've sufficed.

    Cheese pie

    Came here for a quick bite to eat. I have passed this place for years and never stopped to try it. My SO and I shared a cheese pie. The first thing I noticed when we got our pie was the amount of grease pooled at the top. I am not talking just a bit...I am talking about a significant amount. I took lots of napkins and proceeded to blot as much as I could off of it. I feel guilty enough about eating pizza! After that it was just plain goodness. It was cheesy and saucy. The crust was on the thicker side and had a nice crunch and chew. The other items on the menu sound really good. Looking forward to going back and trying some.

    I have eaten at this Big Tomato at least 20 times over the years, maybe more & can honestly say I have never had a bad pizza from them. Whenever I get tired of the boring generic pizza places I come here. As mentioned by a fellow yelper, it's not Chicago Deep Dish, it's Miami Deep Dish! The pizza is great & has a taste unlike any other pizza I have had before. I love the cheese, the crust, & the portion sizing. This location is very clean & the staff is very friendly. For a healthier choice, give the wheat crust a try. A heads up, they don't just do pizza. Take a look at their menu, they have a whole lot of wraps & panini style choices as well as soups.

    They have a vast variety of all tasty pizzas! Something for everyone! IG: @KFirzEats

    Growing up in the Pinecrest area, the Big Tomato has been a long time favorite for me and my family go-to spot for pizza. It definitely is my favorite local pizza joint and the only place in the area where I'll eat deep dish, Chicago-styled pizza. The Big Tomato is doing everything about pizza right! They have every topping you can think of and creative mixes of these toppings you really can't find anywhere else. A Thai pizza or Mexican pizza? Sound gross? Its absolutely delicious! I ordered the Santa Fe Sensation: salsa, chicken, fresh tomatoes, jalapeños, mozzarella, parmesan and gorgonzola. And if you like more classic pizzas their Margherita isn't the typical and one of my favorites; pesto, fresh tomatoes, sweet onions, artichokes, gouda and parmesan cheese. If you're not in the mood for pizza they also have fantastic paninis and salads served in fresh bird bowls that can also serve as a heart but healthy lunch! Pro tip: they have a pizza happy hour from 3-5pm where you can get a pizza for $5!! If you're considering ordering or eating from here just do it! IG:@KFitzEats

    More of a pan pizza than a deep dish, but quite good. Just a few tables in a small shopping strip and not very busy on a Monday night.

The star of the show was undoubtedly "D" Delaine, who was fabulous in every way. From the moment we walked in, D's warm energy and expertise made us feel so welcome and guided us perfectly in crafting the best kale and arugula salad I've ever tasted. The greens were fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced with a variety of colorful veggies and a light, flavorful dressing that D recommended--pure perfection! We couldn't resist trying more, so "D" Delaine was fabulous again in helping us customize a vegan protein-packed wrap that was out of this world. The wrap was bursting with wholesome ingredients, and D's suggestions for the perfect combination of plant-based proteins and sauces elevated it to a whole new level. I'm still dreaming about how satisfying and flavorful it was! We were so impressed that we went back for a third treat--a peanut butter smoothie that was nothing short of divine. It was creamy, delicious, and just the right amount of sweet, making it the perfect way to cap off our visit. "D" Delaine was fabulous yet again, ensuring every detail was spot-on and making our entire experience unforgettable. The food at Just Salad Pembroke Pines is top-notch, and with D's incredible guidance, it's a must-visit for anyone looking for healthy, vegan-friendly meals that don't skimp on taste. Five stars all the way! We had one super small concern, they were cutting onions and that made my wifey's eyes water. But hey for fresh cut veggies. It is still worth the minor tear drop.

    Came here today for my second visit and had another great experience…read more We started with the shrimp tempura appetizer. It came out piping hot and was so good with the soy sauce on the side. I loved that it wasn't overloaded with batter, you actually got a generous amount of shrimp. At a lot of places, it's mostly breading, but that definitely wasn't the case here. My boyfriend and I both ordered ramen, and honestly, it was probably the best ramen I've had so far. I got the Tonkotsu ramen and it was a 10/10. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the pork was cooked perfectly! Tender, soft, and not overly fatty. I added some sriracha and it took it to the next level. My boyfriend ordered the miso ramen and really enjoyed it as well. The only downside during this visit was the fruit tea. We ordered three different drinks and they all tasted a little off. I first got the lychee fruit tea at 25% sweetness, but it honestly tasted like gardenia perfume.....No joke, I couldn't get past the first sip at all. Then tried the passion fruit tea at 50% sweetness, which was better, but it still had a strange aftertaste. My boyfriend ordered the strawberry fruit tea, and it tasted watered down. What's odd is that the fruit teas were delicious the last time i came, so maybe something was just off today. That said, the service is always great. I like that you can order either through the touchscreen kiosk or directly with the cashier. The restaurant is always clean, the atmosphere is relaxing, and it's a great place to sit, enjoy your food, and hang out. Will definitely be back!

    If you can't tell by how many times I've checked in or uploaded a photo of my ramen at this…read moreestablishment, then I don't know if my review will make much of a difference, but I'll leave one here anyway just to drive home the message that Tasty Ramen is absolutely great. Tasty Ramen in Cutler Bay has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. Tucked neatly into the new Publix shopping center at the intersection of Old Cutler Road and Marlin Road, it's pretty easy to miss it if you're not inside the parking lot already. The restaurant inside is relatively small, but good enough for small groups (3-4 people). I've gone alone a bunch of times, and ordered for take-out twice as much and the quality of the ramen is consistently good. The Tasty Ramen is my favorite. Broth is flavor packed and the contrast of the chicken and pork belly is delicious. Noodles are made perfectly too. I've also ordered the edamame (yummy), Korean chicken wings (so good!), gyoza (basic, but good), Lychee Tea (really tasty) and Curry Chicken Donburi (2 stars). Wasn't a huge fan of the Donburi, but to be fair, it was my first time ever trying it, so I may give it another shot, just to be absolutely sure. Service is good. The employees in the back work hard to get the food out quick so it's hot and fresh every time.

The ambiance of the place is elegant yet relaxing, and it feels very welcoming. Our waiter, Mr. Carlos, and his assistant, Juju, were both very kind and friendly. We were seated in a very cozy corner, and our culinary experience began with the wine menu, dinner specials menu, and main menu being presented to us. There was a very extensive food selection, from appetizers and salads to main courses and dessert options. We took our time making the right selections for our appetizer, salad, and main course. The service was fast but never rushed between courses. We had the perfect amount of time to enjoy all of their delicacies. After enjoying this wonderful dining experience, we had the honor of meeting the owner, who introduced herself to us and wanted to know if everything had met our expectations. Her name is Marbella. What a joyful person she is. We told her that everything, including the service, had been excellent and that we definitely planned to visit again. We spoke for a while and learned that the chef, Mr. Gustavo, was also the owner and Marbella's husband. Several of their employees are family members, something I have always enjoyed about family restaurants. It makes you feel right at home. The whole experience was delightful, and we highly recommend it for romantic dinners or family gatherings. It's an amazing place to enjoy Italian food, steaks, lamb, and many other delicacies. I give it five stars. Thank you for making our first visit a wonderful one. Roberto Almeyda
