I think people are rating this place unreasonably low. There is no better breakfast place on this side of town. In fact, I feel this is in the top three or four breakfast spots in the valley. I always loved the downtown location when I worked down there but parking was always horrible and the wait was always long. Both of these problems are solved with this location. It's a nice open space with tons of parking and usually no wait, however, the weekends can be busy. The sausage links from the Pork Shop in Queen Creek are delicious. I've had almost every menu item and absolutely no complaints. The servers are always attentive and friendly. The majority of my breakfast outings are spent here! read more

Matt’s Big Breakfast - Arrowhead - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

We sat up at the bar. It's not big, just three chairs, but there were only two us, so it worked for us and we got great service. The waitress was friendly and pleasant, plus helpful with menu suggestions. This was our first time. Got The Five Spotter Platter which is made up of a fantastic breakfast sandwich with your choice of potatoes and a drink. There were plenty of ingredients, meaning quantity of bacon, eggs, avocado, etc. The hashbrowns were made quite uniquely with a unique taste. Not sure if I was necessarily thrilled with them, but the weren't bad. Prices are reasonably and they get the food out fast, plus check on you regularly. I'm going back for that breakfast burrito chimichanga style as it looked equally tasty and generous in portion size. read more

A few years back, we tried to eat at the downtown restaurant, but there was a long line waiting to get in, so we passed because we had an infirm family member with a walker. More recently, we noticed that there was now one on 75th and Rose Garden, so last weekend we tried it. The service was okay. My wife had the waffle with bacon and she liked it, but nothing special. I had the royal feast which consisted of 3 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, choice of potatoes and one pancake. My first complaint was that it was all served on one plate with the pancake on top just about covering everything else. Very difficult to eat that way! I managed, but it wasn't fun, especially since I wanted to eat the pancake last. The second complaint was the potatoes. I absolutely love the smell of rosemary and I can't walk by a bush without touching it and putting my fingers to my nose to smell it, but I can not stand the taste of it! For me, it is like eating perfume! I did not know that the homefries were cooked with rosemary! A lot of it! There were a half a dozen sprigs of it in my potatoes! If I ever eat there again for breakfast, I will be sure to order the hashbrowns. Nowhere on the menu was rosemary mentioned. One last thing is the name! Big Breakfast! I think that this is a misnomer. I think there is more bang for the buck at other restaurants, especially at Ronnie's Cafe, where we ate this morning! But, we had to give Matt's a try! read more

Two griddlecakes for 10 bucks. They do use real maple syrup, but the pancakes are a bit crumbly, not a clean cut through. Made from same batter as waffle. read more

Matt's was on our regular rotation, and the food is still good, but it looks like the "temporary" pause in the Bloody Mary's now appears to be permanent. Those Mary's were left and helped push this place up a level. read more

I ate at this Matt's Big Breakfast for the first time a couple weeks ago. Slightly disappointing experience. I've eaten at the Biltmore location previously, a long time ago. I remembered really enjoying it. So I was excited to try them again at their Arrowhead location. It just didn't hit the same as I remembered. Everything was just okay. The hashbrowns were oily and flavorless. The best bites were the bacon and the raspberry preserve which comes with the toast. My partner ordered The Five Spot but didn't enjoy it all. The meat ratio doesn't work for the sandwich. The service was friendly and quick. Not sure I'll be coming back to this one. read more

Service was good though waitress was very kind. I had some of their fresh squeezed OJ and LOVED it. Was not a huge fan of the food, my Dad got a Rueben and he said the meat was too salty and the pickle didn't taste good and had a strange texture. I got the papa burrito and it says it's ranchero style but it's a salsa they put on top not a ranchero sauce. read more

Pretty good food and honestly caught me by surprise! They checked in with us and asked us how the food was and asked if we wanted refills quite often and it wasn't too loud. Only thing that I wish was different was the burrito which I got, everything was good I just wish that it had more sauce because it was yummy! read more

This Matt's Big Breakfast opened a little over a year ago and is a welcome addition to the Arrowhead Brunch scene. Due to the pandemic, it took a while for them to open. And we were soooo excited when the sign went up, being a big fan of their busy downtown PHX location. Yes! Wait times are in the forty-five minutes range, but there are some shaded seats outside. Granted the kitchen can sometimes be slow. But we tend to use the extended downtime for conversation Three of us already had the menu memorized before coming here. LOL So we each ordered our usuals... BLT with a side of Country Sausage protein, Waffles with Bacon and their huge Papa Breakfast Burrito with a side of Hash Browns. Delicious. Again nothing is pre-made here so there is a wait. But it's worth it. Nothing like Matt's. read more

This is my go to breakfast place. I order the hog and chick every time and I'm usually in and out within 30 minutes. Love this place

You have to know what to expect when you come to Matt's. The menu doesn't have many option but everything on the menu is delicious. The service varies. Sometimes we feel like we are being rushed out and sometimes we feel well taken care of. The ambiance is cozy and like most other brunch spots. Give it a try! read more

Matt's Big Breakfast is awesome scratch cooked dishes made by a real cook. Too many restaurants just reheat processed foods these days. I first found their original location near downtown Phoenix. I was thrilled to find the Arrowhead location for breakfast. They were also kind to substitute low carb options instead of the menu potatoes and toast with my pork chop and egg selection. Great place I will mark in my GPS to enjoy again. read more

Nice, clean location. Customer Service was good, got everything I ordered on a timely basis. Ordered the Big Papa Burrito, the tortilla was soggy, probably had too many jalapeño for my liking, should have asked for less. I have had better at this location. I will be back for another try. read more

Hey Yelpers! Came here with the fam on New Year's Day. We enjoyed it very much. It's a great place that is inviting and comfortable. The food was delicious. I loved my club sandwich. As for the service, our servers did an excellent job. They use a real approach where they all help out at each other's tables, so we never had to wait for anything. We would definitely go back and you should give them a try also! read more

Matt’s Big Breakfast - Arrowhead - The Five Spot Platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Found This resturant in the Arizona Highway magazine and they gave it rave reviews. Well I'm here to tell you it was the worst food I have ever eaten. Not only that for 2 common breakfasts w/soda (coffee was awful) for 2 people the total was $40.00 plus tip. Outrages pricing for awful food. It will never happen again. IHOP and Denny's would have better food and reasonable prices. I just wanted to try something new, will never take the advice from Arizona Highway again. The only good thing during the visit, was the waitress. The last thing I have to say is this resturant is not worth your time and especially your money. read more

The main location is definitely better. I ordered the special which was eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was unique and flavorful but there was too much of it. It overpowered the rest of the dish. The hash browns were just ok and could've been crispier; the middle was slightly raw. My wife had the hog & chick and ordered the bacon extra crispy and it wasn't crispy. Good pepper crust on the bacon though. The addition of a kids menu would be a good idea. There's no kids menu or coloring page or something for smaller kids so if you're looking for a spot to go with kids, you'll need to bring your own entertainment for them. read more

No sugar free syrup so that eliminated all pancakes and waffles for a diabetic. So I had oatmeal. The absolute worst I have ever tasted. No flavor, very runny. Toast was OK but hard. There was nothing that impressed me about this place except the service was good. Don't think I'll be back. read more

Nice breakfast, bacon is uniquely delicious, I really enjoyed my waffle. Service was pretty good, nice interior, but (and I hope it isn't the case next time I come) there was a stinky smell inside the restaurant, like perm solution. It could've been from the salon next door, but hopefully it was a one time deal. We nearly left because of it. But I'd really like to come back. I'm looking for my pretty waffle pic! read more

The food is fantastic. The best breakfast place in the area far and the service is great as everyone is very friendly. You can't go wrong having breakfast here but I highly recommend you get extra bacon and the sourdough toast with strawberry preserves is a must with your pancakes or waffles. read more

Stopped here while in town and the breakfast was delicious and healthy. The ingredients used for my cool named dish The Hog and The Chick were of high quality and on point. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be coming back here when I come back to Phoenix. read more

Breakfast on Monday morning about 11 am was fine. We ordered and the food came out quickly in about 5 minutes. My sausage was over cooked. I faced the kitchen and when a waitress ordered a side of bacon it came out in 20 seconds. Clearly things are previously cooked (bacon, sausage, hash browns). Later my husband I both had stomach issues. I love Matt's but I don't think I will come back to this location again. read more

This place was GREAT! Love their philosophy and how everything is intentionally sourced and made from fresh ingredients (no frozen stuff). Prices were very decent, especially considering the high quality food. Service was great. Highly recommend this restaurant and location. read more

Our family wanted to try this restaurant out and after a first service at church on Sunday I thought I'd call ahead to see if they took reservations for large parties. The gal said no but that at the moment there was one table that would accommodate our party of seven but maybe two options if the tables turn. She couldn't guarantee they'd still have the availability when we arrived as it's a rather small place but she'd try to save the area if possible. Ten minutes later we arrived and we and another couple were told to sit anywhere. Uh oh... only one possible area to put tables together for us so I asked the couple if we could take them as there were two other four tops. Was dismayed that the gal hadn't tried... but it worked out. Menu is limited which I didn't know ahead of time. Turns out it is a scratch kitchen. Everything we ordered was very good. Service was good as well. Bacon exceptional and pancakes huge. Unfortunately they don't have a child's menu... but creative ordering could help provide enough food from everyone's plates. Portions are ample. Sliced ham was huge. read more

Great spot for BREAKFAST in AZ... And, the blueberry jam ~ OMG! Had to purchase a couple jars to bring home! Delicious! Everything was fresh tasting! read more

"Hog and Chick" is the best breakfast I've had in years! Sausages in skins that are sourced from Queen Creek AZ, crispy yet tender inside hash browns, hearty real butter buttered artisan whole wheat toast from a local supplier, and eggs made perfectly to order. The berry preserves (delish enough so that with my last crust of bread, I scraped out the last bit of yumminess) weren't in those plastic packages but were put into reusable condiment containers and such attention to reducing the plastic waste stream is not lost on me--hopefully plastic straws can be switched out to paper in the future. My friend had the Weekend Scramble which he said had just the right amount of heat to perk up the eggs mixed with chicken sausage and fresh rosemary home fries and a fresh tortilla. We didn't have the freshly squeezed orange juice or the locally roast small-batch coffee, but no problem since this a place we want to return to. And I didn't even mention the attentive friendly staff and the cozy ambiance complete with a farm and local sites mural! It is a little pricier than I'd like, but because of the freshness and conscientious sourcing, I can justify it. Some improved signage would help as Matt's is pretty much lost in the little strip mall, but the outdoor umbrellas do garner some attention, although the sign is so faded that it's hard to see "Matt's" and since it shared an awning with "Mug" haircuts, my first impression was that Matt's had closed and an eatery called Mug had taken its place! read more

Matt's Big Breakfast is mainly a higher quality breakfast restaurant with around 6 locations in the valley. They use local Hickman's eggs, red bird chicken, local roasted coffee, line caught tuna and so on. I went to the Glendale-Arrowhead location. They don't have a hostess. You seat yourself at any table with menus. I tried a reuben made with house roasted corned beef. Everything about exceeded my expectations. Unusually good corned beef, The bread was also extra good, and a very good deli pickle. Even the cole slaw was crisp not drippy and very above average. My husband tried a butter burger that also was very good. He was impressed that yo can get a M/Rare burger from a restaurant that specializes in breakfast. Service was fast friendly and efficient. We also were checked on several times. It really was a perfect dining experience. read more

There's not a lot to say. They post their diners drive-ins and dives, but don't really advertise it. I am confused as to why.. the food was OK. The service was extremely slow, my drink refills took forever, and the food took a long time to come out, which was surprising, given it was very slow. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, and my son ordered a chicken sandwich. They call themselves a from scratch kitchen, don't own a freezer. But their chips come from a bag and aren't fried in-house. The special of the day was biscuits and gravy, and you got like 1.5 biscuits that were the same consistency of a hockey puck and about as flavorful. The gravy had the consistency of dried out mashed potatoes and the hadhbrowns game out cold and lacked any seasoning. They charged almost 20$ for them and was just simply not worth it. Overall, for being on DDD, I left very disappointed. read more

Finally got to try out Matt's and I was not disappointed. I had the special which was Eggs Benedict. This was my first Benedict ever. Not sure why it took me so long, but it was worth the wait. Great service. Friendly people. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday late AM for some breakfast. The place was HOPPING, which is such a great sign, so decided to belly up to the bar for some grub. They have a daily special and I went with that - the Weekend Scrambler - a great mix of spinach, sausage, egg, cheese with a side of home fries. Kids - NEVER do hashbrowns, go for the home fries! Food was very good, along w/the coffee. The staff worked very well together, as I had a direct view to the kitchen and wait staff. Michelle was awesome along with all the service peeps. Had numerous folks ask if I was good and if I needed a refill. Prices are great too. Even though the place was very busy, they had me in and out in a very reasonable amount of time. Definitely will be back and HIGHLY recommend! read more

Exceeds expectations. The honey lemonade is outstanding. We enjoyed a Reuben, Chicken Sandwich and a Club Sandwich. Quality ingredients. Delicious bread. Rippled ridges on the Kettle Chips. Bonus gigantic homemade dill pickle spears. Friendly fast service. Nice contemporary music that allows a conversation. Quiet atmosphere that you can conduct business and hold conversations. We look forward to our next visit. read more

I've wanted to try this place for awhile. My wife and I finally made it on a Sunday morning just after 7:00. There was only a family of four there ahead of us and I believe there was only one other person come in while we were there. The restaurant was clean. Waitress was quick to seat us and give us a menu, but took awhile to come back to take our order. I had eggs and the thick cut bacon. The bacon was really tough. My wife had an omelette and said it was alright. Was it worth the 20 minute drive? No read more

Stopped by Matt's before heading to the airport. Was empty at 7:30 am on a Wednesday. Food was good. My wife got the waffles and Bacon. Had one of her strips of Bacon. Nice n thick slices. Very peppery and crispy. I had the salami scramble. Good amount of salami. Hash browns tasted a little weird. Not sure if it was because there was a lot of pepper on them. Sourdough Toast was good. read more

We've been wanting to try Matt's for a long time. Finally made it this morning. Cute place inside and the wait staff is friendly. I got the weekend scramble with ham, which was just OK and a bit greasy. My wife got the cheese omelet which was good and nicely cooked. The has browns though were grayish. We asked the waitress if that was normal. She checked with the kitchen and they said that's normal this time of year. I'm not a potato farmer, but I've never heard of seasonally gray potatoes. The Bloody Mary was heavy on the Worcestershire and light on the Tito's. The cheese garnish also had a refrigerator taste. Not bad but there are a lot of better choices around for breakfast. read more
