   I missed my first reservation for 3pm due to no parking, I drove around for literally 30 minutes and once I finally made it in at 3:40pm I was given the option to come back at 4:30pm for dinner because they were not seating anymore people for Brunch per the hostess. I decided to wait and even made reservations again but for 4:30pm. Overall, the dinner was not so great as my food was kind of bland and unfortunately my food was served warm at that. I wouldn’t say my experience was bad but maybe I need to try the Brunch since that’s what I believe this place is popular for per social media. My advice: get there early to find parking as your reservations are cancelled 15 minutes after the scheduled time and maybe only try their brunch

   Went for brunch..their brunch menu if u sit at a table is $42/pp; who eats that much breakfast to justify $42 for breakfast and that doesn’t include ANY beverage, even tea or coffee; all beverages are separate charge. They treat it as a buffet so u can order more than one thing, but again, who is going to eat that much breakfast. Money wise it doesn’t make sense. If u want to order a la carte you have to sit at the bar. We did not know this when we sat at a table as it was our first time there. So be aware! Food was good, ambience was good as well. The blueberry lemon pancakes were delicious. The mimosas looked as if someone drank half of it as it was only half a mimosa in the glass. If you are going to order more than one mimosa, you might as well order bottomless. Overall, it is a nice place but I will not be sitting at a table for breakfast in the future.

   The weekend brunch offered at Matchbox Sawgrass is overrated. For the price you have to pay ($42 per person) the food was very average. Service was also lacking. Waiter misinformed us about the price of bottomless drinks and added unnecessary charges to the bill. Overall, the experience was overpriced and overrated. Definitely do not recommend. Not good value at all. Be smart and spend your money elsewhere.

   Jarrell’s took care of our large party for my birthday and he did an amazing job, I will be back and hope that we can sit in his section again, I fear I didn’t tip him well enough my last visit and I plan to make up for it on my next visit! Outstanding service, ok food, could have been seasoned better. Great value over all however

   Met my sorority sisters here for dinner to catch-up. Waiter (G) and food were on point. We had a great time... sat for a couple few hours just enjoying the food and wonderful company.

   The vibes (music and energy) of the restaurant was GREAT! The DJ played everything for everybody to get up and dance to but the food? It was OK. The shrimp and grits was honest to God AWFUL. The grits were thick, the creamy sauce for it was watery and the shrimp tasted rubbery. The French toast was good and the steak and eggs was good. The drinks? 10/10. I’d say eat before you go.

    The food was absolutely flavorless! They barely used seasoning on any of their meat or sauces. The grits and eggs were overcooked and lumpy. The shrimp, steak and chicken were rubbery. I will never go back.
