Great local spot, we visit on Mondays regularly for the burger specials. Ethan is the best server any customer could ask for. Polite, efficient, always on time, remembers his customers and their preferences no matter how long it has been since our last visit.

About the restaurant
Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

It was a very busy day—Father’s Day—and our waiter went above and beyond to accommodate our large group. Despite the crowd, he remained attentive, patient, and professional the entire time. He definitely earned his tip and then some!

About the restaurant
Bubbling, thin crust pizzas, mini burgers, crisp salads, and craft cocktails...four great reasons to visit matchbox today. We’re the gathering place for fun, upscale casual dining, with local, award-winning beers, broad spectrum wines, and handcrafted signature cocktails you won’t find anywhere else.

Sawgrass Mills is a shopper’s paradise, and our dining oasis offers plenty of space for intimate dinners, large parties and get-togethers on two expansive levels. Each level has tree-lined patios, unrivaled people-watching, a full menu, plus fire pits for cozy South Florida nights.

Inside, a private 8-seat chef’s table overlooks all the action in the kitchen, and every seat in the house is treated to dramatic views of the bar and exhibition kitchen.

I have gone to matchbox two Saturdays in a row and both experiences were AMAZING‼️ The food was so delicious and the service was good! The stuffed French toast, steak and eggs, and waffle station are my favorite dishes. I love the strawberry lemon drop! The DJ though, he was so lit! Everyone was dancing and having a blast! Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
