This is a handful of breakfast spots I frequent, for good reason. The food is wonderful and their bread and bacon is immaculate! I haven't mixed it up and tried much on the menu, but can imagine you can't go wrong as I've had friends and family confirm how much they enjoy the food here. I am a sucker for customer service and I absolutely cherish the staff! They remember me when I return, they're very friendly, accommodating and have very charismatic personalities. The open seating policy makes it a good flow as well and the ambience is very appealing. I am a lifer and hope you give it a try if you're in the area! read more

Our first time at this location...have been to the downtown location several times over the years. As we walked in, we were told to find our own seats. After looking around (they weren't busy at this moment), we choose a table closer over to the kitchen and their view window. I always love sitting near the chef's watching them prep and cook. They have a daily special and today was my favorite, eggs benedict. I actually waivered back and forth between this and their pork chop and eggs but ultimately went with the server choice of the benedict. You don't get a dedicated server, they are roaming and everything is there to help and support you, keep drinks coming, serving, etc. Wife choose The Hog & Chick, their version of a basic eggs/bacon or sausage, and toast breakfast. She didn't specify which potatoes and it came with your classic shredded hash browns which was cooked well, crispy on the outside and tender and soft in the center. She asked for the sausage patties, which had a slight kick to them. The dish comes with a slice of their thick sourdough toast and that most delicious home-made strawberry jam. A wonderful, tasty dish! I want to get back to my breakfast...I specifically asked for the home fries and what a disappointment. Yes, I probably could have sent them back but didn't. My biggest issue...they were so, so greasy. I loved the caramelized onions and the bits of rosemary but overall, just way to greasy for me. I did like their hollandaise sauce, although it also needed more lemon flavor. I had the poached eggs and they were cooked to perfection. Ok and lastly, I just want to say that I was a bit concerned with some of the hygiene I witnessed while sitting and watching both the server's area and the chefs in the kitchen. Had an environmental specialist been present, there most likely would have been some writing up. Things like...new server enters space, places both of her cups on the counter, punches in, pulls her hair back into a ponytail, moves her cups off to the side and goes to work. No handwashing observed. In the kitchen I watched a couple of servers and chefs touch hair, face, pull up pants, etc. and continue to cut, chop, serve. Bare hands observed while prepping including a pulling up of pants, the push back of the side hairs and then reaching over, peeling and slicing a banana and putting the pieces bare-handed into a bowl for serving. When you are in the moment, these actions happen without realizing it but as a customer watching...not Kosher. I asked about their outdoor patio area...it's not pet friendly so wanted to share that. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast is one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots. Honestly, I would go just for their coffee and hash browns alone. They by far have the best coffee--smooth, rich, and always perfect. At first glance, the hash browns don't look very appetizing, but wow... they are so, so good. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Once you try them, you're hooked. The service is always fast and super friendly, which makes the experience even better. Great food, great coffee, and great people--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend! read more

There is no false advertising at Matt's "Big Breakfast," you are well-fed here! I ordered the Hog & Chick breakfast with bacon and home fries. As you will see from the photo, the plate was straining to hold it all, accompanied by a thick piece of rye toast. Eggs were cooked perfectly! Everything was served hot and in a timely manner. Our server was great and we enjoyed breakfast on their nice patio. My only regret is that it it's been over a year since I hit up one of the Matt's BB locations! read more

Matt's Big Breakfast Gilbert - The Hog & Chick - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I've heard good things about this place and was finally in the area to check it out! It was a Saturday morning around 10a, and it was busy, but we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for a seat. They had two areas for seating, one of which was outdoors-ish. The ambiance was classic/modern and colorful. Multiple people took care of us and I think it's all team tips and such. We'd said we needed a few minutes to look at the menu, but then it took them a while to come back for our order. I was expecting more options on the menu, but it was pretty standard breakfast options. No fancy coffees or foods. They also serve lunch and breakfast is available all day. What food we did order was very good. The Christopher's favorite was very flavorful, I liked the crispy hash browns cooked into the burrito. The pumpkin pancakes were also delicious, perfect for the time of year! read more

We went here a while ago. This place was mediocre in our opinion. I got steak and eggs and the steak tasted like a really low quality steak. Which I get it, I believe it was the happy hour or the daily special. I guess if you're gonna do a special with steak you lower the quality. The hash browns definitely needed to be cooked longer, too soft. The OJ was good! Didn't really enjoy the steak enough to come back. read more

The wait was very short for a Saturday morning. The service was outstanding, all the employees are smiling and happy to be here. They have a great flow with all employees working together. The food, fantastic, came out quick and it was hot (this is a big deal for eggs with me). The atmosphere is fun. Thank you, great job. read more

08/31/2025 It's hard to believe I had never been to MBB until now. I met up with a friend here for brunch on a Sunday at around 10:30am. They were busy, but the staff moved quick and a two-seat table was available within a few minutes. I went with "The Basics" ($12.29) - two eggs any style, choice of potatoes (home fries or hash browns), and toast with homemade preserves. My friend got "The Hog & Chick" ($14.49) which is The Basics plus choice of bacon or sausage. She insisted that I try the bacon, and it was so good, cooked perfectly and crispy. My over easy eggs and home fries were delicious. The sourdough was thick, toasted, and tasty. I like that they cook with only the good stuff - real butter and extra virgin olive oil. Every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and courteous. I'm definitely adding MBB to my brunch rotation! read more

Very friendly service and a quaint atmosphere. Portions are large and very hearty. Good flavor with a grilled jalapeño. Bacon was a little too crispy for my taste but has great flavor. Be warned if you are looking for chicken fried steak or biscuits and gravy this is not the place for you. It's not one menu as a regular. read more

The location is clean with great outdoor seating. The decor is plain and simple. Nothing special. The staff have always been great and professional. The food though, breakfast perfection. Ok full disclosure I always order the chop and chick or steak and eggs. I absolutely love these dishes. The pork chop is one of the best I've ever had. If you need a brunch place with excellent proteins....this is the place. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast Gilbert - It was a steak and eggs....sadly I ate it before I took the pic. It was delicious. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Came in for brunch with a friend and was expecting a long wait but was seated immediately! I had been to the Matt's in DTPHX and I had been meaning to check out their new Gilbert location. The service here was warm and friendly from the moment we walked in. I love that they have breakfast staples and lunchy and brunchy options such as their grilled chicken sandwich which was dee-licious. I'm a sucker for a good cold brew and although you may not think good cold brew comes in a can this one was delicious and very strong! read more

Great food, good portions and excellent service! I really enjoy dining at Matt's! I especially enjoy breakfast at Matt's Big Breakfast!

Matt's is my husband's favorite breakfast place. It is always clean and bright in this space and every worker we have ever had contact with has been welcoming and chipper. I usually get the Avocado Toast. My husband loves the fluffy, fresh blueberry pancakes. We come early (think 7-ish on a weekday) and it is usually pretty chill then. read more

We've been to Matt's Big Breakfast in Gilbert many times and it's quite frankly hit or miss. Having gone to their original location in Phoenix for years prior to the Gilbert location opening, we've noticed a lot of inconveniences here. Matt's is obviously a very popular spot, especially on the weekends. During the more popular brunch hours, there's usually an hour-ish wait; they do have outdoor seating for cooler months, which is nice. We've had quite a few items from their menu. I've liked the waffle and griddle cakes the most. If you're looking for something more spicy, their breakfast burrito is good. The reason for 3 stars is because there have been times the eggs were dry/overcooked, same with the potatoes where they crisped too much, burnt bread, and so on. Other times everything has been perfect. We used to go here more often previously, but it isn't our favorite anymore. Also not a fan of the wait, given that the food may not be worth it. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast Gilbert - Avocado toast with poached egg (served on the side). - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Big fan of Matt's Big Breakfast in Gilbert. It's a smaller spot that has a long walk-in wait, but the plaza area has a lot of places to check out and shop while you wait. Food is top-notch. I've met Matt and his wife driving around the area a few times and he's a down-to-Earth guy who cares about his food. Hog & Chick or the breakfast sandwich is our go-to when we're there. Thick-cut bacon is like eating candy. Waiter-service is one of those places where every waiter is your waiter--I've seen restaurants do it and this place is a little hectic because of that, but not a huge issue. Plenty of parking in the apartment complex plaza. read more

Such a cute place, I definitely prefer this location to the phoenix one. Great food at a reasonable price and had the best hilarious waiter. I got the Friday special scramble so yummy. I especially loved the strawberry jam that comes with the toast. Such a cheerful place would definitely visit again. read more

This is my second visit to Matt's BB, my first was in the west side of Phoenix 10 years ago. Parking is available in front and in the multi purpose buildings parking lot. There are quite a few nice restaurants here so parking during peak meal times can be challenging. Ambiance This location is modern trendy, appealing to a younger demographic reflective of the buildings live here dine here concept. Trendy modern designs on the walls. The noise level is High as patrons compete with their adjacent tables. We were able to hold a conversation with some repeats but probably wouldn't be back. Score reflects noise level. Menu We were here for breakfast but lunch/dinner items are offered. Selection's were typically breakfast options but not your typical portions or quality. Portions were large ( both of us had leftovers); and flavorful ingredients made this breakfast distinct. Food was served surprisingly fast with a full house. For those living here They have a great group of eateries here and wish something similar existed when I was younger: ) $$/$$$ read more

I had something new for breakfast this time they had a special with Italian sausage, onions, and peppers and potatoes and egg, which was pretty good but the sausage was definitely missing the Italian sausage kick. I still like going there because it's pretty nice little place. They normally have a pretty good food. Service is always excellent. Give it a try you'll love it. read more

great fresh take on breakfast. farm to table options from local sources don't mind the odd location

Matt's Big Breakfast is by far my favorite breakfast place to eat. Let's start off with the service- they seat you quickly and everyone is so helpful. There is one lady who always comes to say hi when we come in but she mostly is doing the patio seating service. The biggest thing I appreciate is that they do not use any seed oils. Cooking is done with only real butter and olive oil. They also resource everything locally. From their bread, coffee, meats, syrups etc. I'm a sucker for a good pancake and let me tell you; their blueberry pancake is like a blueberry muffin. It's my go to with the best omelette you'll ever have. It's also a very chill vibe. read more

The service & food were both amazing! I love the team service concept and it seems like the workers do too as everyone came up to help/check on us and grab our order. They even list where they get their meat/produce/hot sauce which was very cool! I got the Sunday special and it was very good and the portion size was just right. Another diner got the chop & chick, and the bacon was thick-cut & flavorful (from The Pork Shop). There's outdoor seating as well and inside there was a cute mural. read more

Giving this place a 2 because the pancakes were good. This burrito lacked flavor unfortunately. Eggs, hash browns, the tortilla, the green chili, it was all mediocre. Couldn't even cut through the gummy moist tortilla. Overall, it was a miss for me. The French toast also lacked flavor and tasted mostly like bread. Our server was quite nice. I went here based on the reviews , but they definitely have to be reviews isolated to the population in the surrounding area. read more

5 in every category! Food was outstanding. Service was excellent. Parking was easy and abundant. Ambiance was very welcoming. Easy 5 star across the board. Dropped in for a late breakfast (10:30), got seated right away (tables available inside and outside, in the shade). Staff was on us almost right away and a couple of coffees were at our table within minutes. Our waiter was courteous and answered a few questions, made a couple of recommendations and took our order and our meals delivered soon after. On Monday their special is Huevos Rancheros & it was delicious. Very flavorful and the salsa verde had just the right heat. We also had the Chick & Pig (2 eggs, sausage patties, crispy hash browns and sourdough toast with housemade blueberry preserves. All of it was amazing - even the coffee! Alot of the items they have on their menu are sourced locally. Their prices are probably a little higher (but not crazy) than some other breakfast places, but their quality is significantly better. Highly recommend. read more

Was in the area and decided to stop in and give it a try. There was no wait time for a table of two on Veterans Day the other Monday. The place is small, mom and pop feel. The menu is rather small which surprised me, but I guess it's better to be good at a few things than mediocre at a lot. You don't have a designated server, rather it's a team approach. So one person could take your drink order and another your food order, etc. The food came out quick. If you didn't know, the burrito is smothered. The hog and chick was pretty basic. The potato however are well seasoned and herbaceous. VERY oily though (which tends to be a theme here). The bacon was peppered and honestly it wasn't my favorite; but not bad. My boyfriend enjoyed the burrito, it was a substantial size. I liked the bean inside but that's all that really stood out to me. The prices seemed a little high to me, but this restaurant does use quality ingredients and local ones at that. It was an average breakfast place, nothing to write home about. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back but I also have no issues with the place. read more

Food is amazing, great atmosphere, staff is wonderful and always greets us with a smile! We visit about once per week...this is the only place I eat breakfast at that does "extra crispy hash-browns" right! Highly recommended breakfast stop! read more

Their burrito was way overboard with the amount of jalapeño, very little chorizo and the slices of potato were huge for a burrito. Husband was not pleased with it unfortunately. The server was nice but she never asked us how the food was even though husband only pecked at his plate. I got a breakfast sandwich which was pretty good, hash browns crispy. Can't complain. My son didn't like the bacon as it was automatically covered in black pepper, we didn't get a heads up about that. Also, if you're looking for a sunny patio, this won't be the patio for you. read more

Took the family to Matt's Big Breakfast on Sunday after church. I gotta tell you it's very good. My daughter got the griddle cakes, they were great! I got the Big Pappa Burrito, and I loved every bit. It was super busy so the service was a bit slow, but nothing bad. Again, with the Epicenter, parking is an issue. We will be back! read more

The restaurant was bright and welcoming. Very clean The service was very friendly and efficient. It was nice to see staff working quick to serve customers. Dishes came out quickly though they forgot my coffee. We had the Saturday scramble option, griddlecakes and the chick & hog. They were all very nice. The home made lemonade was also very nice. The coffee was ok. In general it was a nice breakfast place but the options were very limited and basic. I wish there were some unique breakfast options read more

It was good! Working in the breakfast industry there was a lot of weird stuff I wasn't used to. And I'm also familiar with the POS system they use so I know splitting the check is something very simple.. otherwise the food was ok not as good as the original location grandpas toast was almost burnt, but the ORANGE JUICE WAS THE BEST IVE EVER HAD. So pulpy and delicious! It was very up to date and modern, most importantly the service was very good! Well done guys read more

This place reminds me of going to a family member's house and the comfort it brings to be around your loved ones. To be honest, when I first came here it just seemed like a normal breakfast sport with kind people working, like a mom and pop shop. However the more I kept coming, the more I started to fall in love. The food is always consistently good and the service makes me feel like we've all been friends forever. Being here is so comforting and homey. I love how not one person is your server and everyone there is happy to help and always checking up. Not only that, I believe most of their ingredients are locally sourced ! This has become our go to breakfast spot! We have also been bringing our friends here and everyone loves it. We're trying to get their daily specials each day but so far have only gotten the Fri-Sun meals. Looks like i gotta leave work early these days to reach my goal of trying everything on the menu! read more

Matt's Big Breakfast has been on my list for a while and finally had a chance to visit for Sunday brunch back in March. The restaurant was buzzing and the dining room was packed. They have outdoor seating and fortunately, there was no wait for it. Our server was fantastic. She was fast and friendly. We ordered the following: Grains, greens, & beans $13.49 x2 Short stack griddlecakes (2) $8.99 Side of avocado Side of tomatoes My husband and I both ordered the Grains, Greens, & Beans for our main entree. The bowl features farro, sautéed baby spinach, heirloom Anasazi beans topped with two poached eggs, crushed herbs, and pink Himalayan sea salt. You have the option to add mushrooms for $2.25, which we did. The bowl was hearty and tasty. The side of avocado and tomatoes were great additions to the bowl. Since we both have a sweet tooth, we added the short stack griddlecakes (2). The griddlecakes hit the spot. We'll be back! read more

Good spot to catch breakfast with my friends after a walk in nearby Gilbert park. This restaurant sits situated in a new community with apartments, bars, shopping and more. We were able to be seated immediately. The daily special looked so good we had ordered two. My friend ordered her Friday Scramble with egg whites and I got my with 3 whole eggs. The dish was good but mine lacked peppers. I only had 2 red peppers in my whole dish meanwhile my friends dish has so many red peppers. The home fries were super tasty and chalked with rosemary. My othet friend got the skinny omelet which came with a great salad (too much argula for me). All in all a good breakfast. The coffee was plentiful and hot. The pancakes were disappointing. I only ate half of my shared pancakes. The vermont maple syrup was good but overall I would not recommend the pancakes. read more
