This was my 1st time eating here. My daughter has been raving about this restaurant for years. I mean EVERYTHING was 5 star quality! You can smell how delicious the food is going to be when you walk in the door! I eat pretty basic breakfast food, so I ordered pancakes & country sausage. The pancakes were soft, fluffy and delicious. And, I have never had sausage so full of flavor! My daughter ordered the Hog & Chick but replaced the bacon with ham. My mouth watered when they sat her plate on the table! I had to taste some of her food. The ham was cooked perfectly and was so tender. The home fries were to die for with rosemary & onions. I can't say enough about this restaurant. We're from Chicago but my daughter used to live & work here. Whenever I'm in Phoenix again, Matt's Big Breakfast will definitely be one of my stops. read more

Been here a couple times a couple of my go to's is the The Big Papa Burrito it's stuffed with eggs, chorizo, roasted, gold potatoes, pinto beans, jalapenos, cheddar cheese, enchilada style with our ranchero sauce. CHICKEN SANDWICH A marinated chicken in pesto, topped with provolone and romaine, on a rustic roll. The service is always great, there is a good chance you might have to wait but it's worth it. read more

I opted for the waffle with bacon. Walk, don't run here and order that as well. This was hands down the absolute best waffle I've ever had. Sweet cream butter and 100% real maple syrup along with unreal bacon. Blown away at the first bite. MUST HAVE! read more

Always have a wonderful time dining there and breakfast meals hit the spot! Super delicious and absolutely amazing. The place feels like home and they have great food options too. I like the Salami Scramble and Five Spot Platter were so good and delicious. It was nicely seasoned and well-cooked food. The food was so fantastic and quality was excellent. The food never disappoint me. We'll keep coming back! read more

Matt's is tucked away in a nondescript area of town, and if it wasn't for Yelp I would have never found it. I'm super glad that I did. The food was great, the place was clean, and the staff was super friendly. The menu had both the basics and some creative choices. I had that morning's special - huevos rancheros. It was outstanding with fresh everything, and even the orange juice was fresh squeezed. My friends all had a similar experience. We were in and out quick due to work, but I would have loved hanging out a bit longer. This is now my go-to breakfast spot when I'm in Phoenix. A solid 5! read more

Food is generally very good except the lunch items come with store bought potato chips. We thought they would be made in house that like some better restaurants do. The homemade chips are a better choice than french fries nowadays. We expected better at this restaurant. read more

It was a nice place for branch. The drink honey lemonade was really refreshing, we were still thinking of it on the drive back home. Their coffee was amazing! It's stronger than the Dutch Bro and Starbucks. Locally sourced, just as all their ingredients. I love that! We both got breakfast plate with meat, eggs and hash browns. Hubby got link sausage and me ham steak. He loved his sausage and it def tastes never been frozen. My ham steak has a great flavor but a bit hard and dry. We also got a side of bacon. The entire place smells of bacon lol. It was a must! Bacon was very very good. The meal comes with toast and strawberry jams, which are amazing. I loved it. Overall, tables go fast and drinks are amazing, food is very good. If we are back in the area we'll try to go again. read more

This was a good choice. It was home country cooking style breakfast. Very delicious waffle for sure the outter part of bread was slightly crunch with warm insides...it was very good. The biscuit and gravy is what I was looking forward to! Not dissapointing, I'd come for this again. Customer service was slower than I prefer, but they was very nice and did check in if we were ok with the food and needed anything. If you like country style home cooked food for breakfast, I'd definitely come back read more

This has been one of the best breakfast places I've enjoyed in a long time. The pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. The eggs are fresh tasting and was perfectly cooked to order. This place is crowded and I can see why! It's very good. read more

Fun breakfast outing. Griddlecakes were yummy. Breakfast burrito was delicious. Bacon was very good and coffee was excellent. Wait staff was attentive. Definitely recommend. And bonus car show going on as we left. It was fun to see the people and cars. read more

Looking for a good breakfast spot in Downtown and Yelp led me to this gem. On a Monday morning at 10am I had to wait about 25 minutes for a solo seat at the counter. Good sign. I got the Hog and Chick and it was spectacular! The thick cut bacon was outstanding and so were the rosemary potatoes. Even the marble rye with strawberry jam was special. Love, love, love local from scratch places like this. I was super impressed with food and kind service and will let anyone I know visiting to go! read more

Yup, it's as good as advertised. Excellent pancakes and the difference maker for me is that, oh my lord sweet cream butter! It really sets off the pancakes in an amazing way. Service was on point and very friendly. Servers were hustling and making sure everyone had everything they needed. I came early and was seated immediately at the window. Given the heat, I wouldn't wait more than 10 minutes for a table, but if you can get seated quickly, I'd frequent this place often. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

One of my favorite local breakfast joints. Food is always so fresh, staff is so friendly! Make sure to get there fairly early if you don't want to wait. The place is rather small and they move quick (which I love in a good breakfast joint) but people know and they show UP. Their daily specials are always a hit, and their pancakes, while not flashy, are some of the best tasting in my opinion. read more

Found Matt's while out walking and searching for coffee. Nice diner environment. Menu offered very good choices. Food was very good with good portions. Liked it so much we came back two days later even though we had other choices. We wanted to check out other menu items we didn't order before read more

A small hole in the wall for breakfast. The service was fast but it does look like they have peak hours so it might take longer to be seated during different times of the day. The food tasted amazing! The orange juice is freshly squeezed. The food tasted fresh and not sitting around. The place is a bit tight for a big party would recommend a party of 4 or patiently waiting to be seated. Overall a great experience. read more

Every time I'm in Phoenix I like to come here. Even though there's usually a wait and service is a bit slow. But I think after my visit on Easter Sunday I probably won't come back. 40 minute wait, which wasn't bad. The problem was that once we were seated and put our orders in, it took a long time for the food to come out. I'm kinda used to that with this place. But, our waiter was horrible. I ordered coffee and this guy never came to see if I needed more. My wife had to flag him down. I had a lot of time to look around the restaurant and saw the other waiters doing a good job of topping off their tables with coffee. But not my waiter. Once the food got there it was cold. The eggs were cold. The pork chop was cold. The hash browns were still mushy in the middle. It was a complete disappointment. It sucks I had to waste $80 here just to wish I had just gone to Snooze again. read more

The pancakes with blueberries were tasty. The Hog and Chick was good, with scrambled eggs, hash browns and sourdough toast. Coffee was just Ok(weak). We had the option of outdoor, counter service or indoors/ regular table. We waited for the regular table; good wait staff. A bit noisy but to be expected in a crowded restaurant. Convenient location downtown Phx. Recommended. read more

Giving 2 stars because while the staff were efficient - the seating setup was inconvenient and beyond annoying- I was at the downtown location at the window table and it was essentially a lobby for people to wait six inches behind me while I ate. Not relaxing or fun - cram packed. I love a vibe and a great restaurant but this was headache and stress inducing.Staff were all super polite. Food was ok. Could've gotten all of this at Denny's or IHOP for the same price. The view was definitely interesting and full of activity for a Sunday morning. read more

We just had a spectacular breakfast! Those are the same words I could use every time we are here. We were hungry for the amazing waffle with real maple syrup and their fabulous bacon. When we saw that the special today was biscuits and sausage gravy, we caved and both got the special. Cream biscuits speak for themselves. Gravy was more sausage than gravy - spectacular! Two eggs cooked to perfection. Hash-browns were crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. The coffee cup was never empty. The servers were literally running at times to make sure every customer had everything they could have possibly needed. It's truly one of our happy places! We'll be ready for the waffle and bacon next time - probably until we read the specials and then we'll have to choose again. That's OK. We'll just keep coming back again and again! Jane and Roger read more

Semi-classic, semi-bohemian diner atmosphere that is really nice. Mid-morning Friday there was a wait for seating. I just ordered their daily special, a three-scramble with crimini mushrooms and spinach along with hash browns. Eggs were delicious and cooked well. Hash browns were a run at classic crispy hash browns, and missed by a just a little bit -- some good crisp on outside but, instead of a softer inside, a little mushy and oily. But I ate them all just fine! The sourdough toast was also a star on the plate. Nice coffee, friendly service. Matt's Big Breakfast is exactly what it seems to be. I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed. read more

Even though this place has grown over the years, the breakfast is still consistently great. Over the years, I don't think I've ever been disappointed. My only real complaint is that it would be nice if they would add your name to the waiting list by phone before you get there, because there's usually at least a 30 to 45 minute wait. The place is so good that I'm not even going to take a star off for that. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast - Eggs Benedict special! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Excellent service and good breakfast foods! Cute little place in downtown Phoenix with extremely friendly service and great breakfast options. Went there twice food was good. Had the skinny was good but a bit bland. The omlette was great but $1.00 per ingredient is a bit ridiculous for the price of the omlette and there were not other omlettes offered to choose from. So you're stuck with make your own at a ridiculous price if you want to make a basic Denver. Overall a good experience and I'd come back read more

I'd still go with the 4-star review. Finally got back in and tried the French toast, which were excellent. We also got the other special featured this morning, which was a 3 egg scramble with cheese, ham, and jalapeños with a tortilla and hash browns and it was excellent! read more

There isn't too much on the menu here, so I expected it to be good. There were so many great reviews and quite the lines. I just wasn't impressed though. My son had a the breakfast sandwich and said was great. My husband had the waffle and bacon and he said the waffle was weird tasting. He felt they were trying to do something different with their batter, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was, but he didn't enjoy it. Didn't even finish it. I had their special, which was steak and eggs, and I enjoyed it. Steak was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Hashbrowns we're cooked good. Since we had so many mixed reviews, I gave it 3 stars. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast was so good. I discovered them during a recent visit visit when I looked up places to eat near Roosevelt Row. I didn't realize at the time that they had been featured on the Food Network. The atmosphere gives me farm to table vibes. I was a little disappointed that there weren't a lot of options on the menu to choose from, but they also have specials that you can choose from written on the board or you can ask your server. I went with the specialty pancakes which was a pumpkin pancake with cinnamon butter. To go with my pancakes I ordered a side of bacon. The bacon was a nice thick cut of bacon that would have made a nice blt. The pancakes and bacon were so good I ate every bite. I'll definitely come back to check them out. I did have to take away 1 star because the guy who was working the register wasn't the friendliest and he was multitasking while we were trying to ask him questions about splitting the check. read more

Solid spot, I ordered the daily special, egg scramble with peppers etc., a waffle, and rosemary potatoes..... If you have not had honey lemonade you need to be sure to order wow@!!! The waffle was on point. Food came out hot and fresh. One thing you will notice, is that you get a good amount of food for your money. My son ordered the big poppa breakfast burrito and that was an awesome dish as well. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, well organized getting in and out. read more

Food was just right! We came in during a rush and thought we were going to have to wait a long time but we were seated quicker than expected. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered hash browns, bacon and coffee. A simple breakfast but they cracked the code on making it taste so so good. It was a bit loud but that's to be expected during a rush. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Phoenix. read more

This is a great place to get breakfast. It feels like the spot to be in in Phoenix for breakfast. The staff are very friendly. Upon paying, our waitress offered us water to go. I am grateful to her as I reused the water cup for a few days since I did not have a water bottle. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast - Smashed Avocado Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We have heard how great this place is for years and never tried it because we did not want to wait the hour and half that it normally takes to get a table. So, today we went on Tuesday morning since we had the day off and we got right in. We ordered the special, Biscuits and Gravy and the Hog and Chick (ham, hashbrowns, over medium eggs). The hash Browns were a grey color on both plates, cold and looked undercooked, very bland. The eggs with the Hog and Chick plate were ice cold. Like they came out of a chiller, did not eat those either. The biscuits were hard as a rock. The gravy, ham, and the sourdough toast was edible. We were shocked at how bad this meal was. The Manager came over and was upset that we didn't say anything sooner, but we had not been asked any sooner how the meal was, and frankly, I am sure our meal was not the only awful thing coming out of that kitchen, so I was uninterested in getting anything more from them. She kept saying, "I am sorry it wasn't what you expected". I told her a few times, that's an odd thing to say because what we expected was hot, cooked food, at the very least. She offered to not charge is for the meals, but I offered to pay for one. It was not about getting food for free. We will not return. After reading other reviews, we are not the first people to be served this bad, cold, undercooked food. Those hash browns are the worst food I have ever been served. Hoping this place can figure out what has gone so wrong and fix it before they lose all their local business. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast - Hog and Chick Breakfast with grey, cold, undercooked, underseasoned hash browns and cold eggs. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Solid brunch spot in Phoenix with a few different locations. They were super busy at 11:30am on a Sunday, and there was a good amount of people outside waiting to be seated. They only have indoor dining available at this location, but they do have outdoor dining available at some of their other locations. I placed an order for take out, and it took about 20 minutes for it to be ready. I tried: -Hog and Chick (2 Eggs, Bacon, Toast, Home Fries, $10.95, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GFUfEkefjR5c3y2RmHWyUQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Yum- I loved the peppery bacon and strawberry preserves (just wished you got a little more with the order)!! The home fries were a little uneven- some pieces were super soft and buttery but some were a little underdone. The pieces that were cooked enough were really good, but I liked the crispy hash browns a little more. Although the bacon was good, I would probably choose to try another dish the next time around. -Sunday Special: Steak & Eggs (8oz Center Cut Top Sirloin, 2 Eggs, Hash Browns, Toast, $16.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=f73BiV1LYLpAPdetq-_aVg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Solid version of steak and eggs, but I wish they used a different cut than top sirloin since it was too lean for my preference. However, the crispy hash browns were delicious, and that is highly recommended! I would definitely come back to Matt's to try their other dishes, such as their waffle and breakfast burrito. Parking in this plaza was easy since there were plenty of spots. read more

Yeah: it's a no for me. The name doesn't go with the place at all. Portions are small and expensive. If you like cornbread, you'll like their pancakes. They taste exactly like that! Not bad, kind of yummy and different. The only reason they earned the third star is for the toast and yummy jam. The waiter was....semi inattentive and wasn't interested in providing us with good service after we decided to only order water to drink. No kids menu, found that very strange. They do not have Coke products. They carry some type of natural cane sugar soda... read more

Me and my friend were supposed to go to the main ingredient but, they were closed. So we decided to go to Matt's. It was a great decision. I had the big daddy burrito and it was super huge and delicious. Great little spot for breakfast on a Sunday. We were sat down quickly. The service was incredible and we'll be back again soon for sure. Thanks guys... read more

Beware. Rude staff. Don't go unless you want to be treated like garbage. My wife, 3 year old son, and I went for breakfast after church. We asked for a low top and a high chair for our son. The hostess took our name and curtly told us "go stand outside." There was no line, no explanation, no please take a seat, no would you like a coffee while you wait. instead, we were rudely told to go stand outside. Well, we decided to follow what the hostess said and went outside - except we promptly took our money elsewhere. And I'll tell all my friends in the Biltmore area to do the same. If I wanted be spoken to like that, I would still be in high school. Anyway, don't go to Matt's Big Breakfast if you're expecting good and courteous service. read more

Amazing. Everything was delicious! Ordered the hog & chick. The bacon cooked perfectly. The toast and jam were very tasty. The griddlecakes I think took the cake though. I could not stop eating them and in fact finished them all. The home fries were cooked beautifully and the rosemary is a perfect touch. I def will be back when I visit again read more
