Great local food made from scratch and super friendly service! Will definitely be returning to try more menu items.

Quick fast and bacon and bread is superb!! And don't forget to try the rosemary potatoes! read more

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

Listed as a side for many dishes, do not sleep on the potatoes. They come with most of the breakfast dishes and it is amazing. It comes with cheese, meat, rosemary, and a few other ingredients. It's very good. My daughter enjoyed the chili. (It has a slight kick to it.) My wife loved the special scramble. The "Five Spot Platter" was a delicious breakfast sandwich with the potatoes on the side. For a refreshing drink, get the bottomless iced tea. It's not sweet and unique tasting. read more

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

I really wanted to like this place, but my experience from start to finish was rough. When I first gave the host my name, he said the wait would be about 30 minutes. After waiting nearly 40 minutes, my husband checked, and the host said he never had our name down that's was strike one for me. Once we were finally seated, we waited another 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. When the waitress did come by, I was ready to order, so she took both our drink and food orders at once. She came back missing a water and a coffee, and when my husband asked for a spoon for his coffee, she said they were out of spoons. Really? The food itself took quite a while to come out and was just okay nothing special. Overall, between the disorganization, long waits, and lack of basic service items, I honestly wouldn't go back. I'm not sure if it was just an off day or if it's always like that, but it definitely wasn't worth the hype. read more

Always here since great reviews I went there for breakfast and it was just okay. Would not bother going back wasn't worth my time or energy if they don't care about the food why would I care about going there read more

Great service excellent food and great location this spot is highly recommended. Will refer family and friends!

Food was meh..not enough salt or flavor on most items. My order was the grains bowl and man, that was quite disappointing. Tasted like undercooked grain and beans with absolutely no flavor. And the liquid just pooled at the bottom. Resembled dog food. Even with ketchup it was bad. If I was just going off this dish, it would be 1 star. My friend's waffles with maples bacon was decent. My favorite would have to be the seasonal pumpkin Griddlecake. Make sure to spread the cinnamon butter while it's still hot. Wish they gave more of that as it paired so well with the pumpkin spice. That's probably the only thing I would consider coming back for. A few customer parking spaces behind the restaurant. This place was packed on a Monday morning. read more

Came in on Valentine's Day and was expecting it to be packed, waited at least 45 minutes for our food (again was expecting it because again it was packed on a holiday). However what made the experience rather unpleasant was the server having printed all tables receipts and delivered the receipt when we hadn't even gotten our food. So the action left a poor taste in my mouth. And food was mid but if you like basic food this is the place to go. Everyone was very nice though. Just don't be making your customers feel rushed when they're hangry and have been waiting for 45 minutes for their food. read more

A friend recommended this place for breakfast and it did not disappoint!! There was a slight wait but we were seated and served quickly. Our waiter took great care of us and was extremely friendly. I'd recommend Matt's and definitely go back!! read more

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

Breakfast was amazing and we had great service even during a busy time. We plan on going back!

Our flight out of phoenix was delayed so we popped into Matt's Big Breakfast. It's always packed at the airport and people rave about it, so it was the perfect time to try them out, early on a Wednesday morning. They were busy but not quite a full house. We were seated right away. The service was spotty. Our server took our order and didn't come back to check on us for the rest of the meal. We ordered the basic breakfast and a blueberry pancake. The pancake was really good and the breakfast was A-OK. The scrambled eggs had a strange texture. As others have mentioned, it's quite loud. I'm glad we tried it but we won't be rushing back. read more

Great service, the entire staff was attestation to your needs. They have bar seating and table seating. Decent size with open area seating, it is loud with all the conversations going on. My friend and I both got griddle cakes, scrambled eggs, and a side of bacon. The griddle cakes did not come with sides so you have to order those separately. The griddle caes were fluffy and a nice size. You get 3 of them and we couldn't finish them all. The food overall was good and we would eat here again. read more

With over 2.5K reviews and a 4 star rating, I had high expectations for Matt's Big Breakfast. We came during peak lunch hours and the wait for three was only ~10 minutes despite how busy the restaurant is. They definitely try to get you in/out here, though, as we felt rushed right when we sat down. Decided on the Big Papa Burrito, which lived up to its name as this burrito was pretty big. It came stuffed with scrambled eggs, chorizo, diced potatoes, pinto beans, jalapenos, and cheddar cheese, and was topped with (more) cheese and ranchero sauce. The burrito itself was just okay. I could barely taste the chorizo and it seemed to be stuffed with more eggs and potatoes than anything else. Don't think I'd get this one again if I ever came back here. My two friends enjoyed their meals, though. read more

a must-visit for anyone craving hearty, comforting breakfast dishes. This local favorite in downtown Phoenix has built a loyal following thanks to its simple yet flavorful menu. Whether you're in the mood for a classic breakfast like the "Two Eggs Any Style" with crispy bacon or something more indulgent like the fluffy pancakes, everything is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cozy, no-frills vibe makes it feel like a hometown spot, and the friendly service adds to the charm. It's the perfect place to fuel up before a busy day or unwind with a relaxed meal. read more

It is very hard to give a place only one star. Usually, they deserve at least two. MATT'S BIG BREAKFAST, in Terminal 4, Phoenix Airport DOES DESERVE only one. If I could give them a negative rating, I would. Let's start with the service. I have never, in all my 57 years, had a person be as rude as the woman who was at the register. She took my order, although she surely did not want to. It interrupted her gossip session. Second, the atmosphere. A young man and woman, sat at one of the empty tables, (Matt's was not busy), with Burger King food. They had a small baby with them. One of the servers came over and said this is for our customers. You have to leave. You can go stand by Burger King. While it is true the tables are for Matt's customers, empathy goes a long way. Also the way a person is talked to means alot. Finally the food. I ordered the Pig and Chic. That is two eggs, three bacon, home fries and toast. I requested my eggs over easy, and my bacon extra crispy. The photos are my thousand words. My eggs were nearly well done, my bacon limp, the toast so hard I could not eat it and the potatoes were cold and old. I returned to the checker with attitude, and she stated that is how the breakfast is done. I left my meal there and went to McDonald's. Where my food was fresh, hot, and good. Do I recommend Matt's? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Take my word for it. Go somewhere else. read more

I've been here with my husband numerous times over the past few years, and Matt's has never disappointed! There is usually a wait, but honestly it goes by quickly. The food is always on point and never disappoints (I usually order the Salami Scramble with a side of griddle cakes.) The staff is always friendly :) read more

Matt's is one of the BEST hidden gems in Phoenix! Their food is amazing, the portions are huge, and it's all for a decent price. They're locally owned too! Support small business :) read more

Checked in name, waited, waited, waited, got skipped, left, never got to experience it. Lucky great spots nearby were quick.

Update Well I been back and all I can say is wow ... great food and service. It's good to see how the service and surrounding has changed and the feeling of grabbing breakfast here . read more

This is not my first time to Matt's but first at this location. I honestly enjoy the hole in the wall ambiance. Darkly casual , yet not too dark to dull the energy of the diners and servers. Service as I expected, so great! Breakfast a favorite meal and today, I wanted that treat. Alas, my treat became a culinary disappointment. I ordered French toast with pork sausage. Without going into details of ingredients I will say my French toast was undercooked , mushy in the middle and pork sausage was more like a chubby wiener that had been scored and grilled. It might have been a hot dog weiner, I honestly couldn't tell. I ate as much as I could that was cooked. The fresh squeezed OJ was delightful and the coffee, while served up in an odd shaped mug, was good. On another plus side, free parking in the back. read more

Visiting phoenix and tried this place as it seemed highly recommended. I got the blueberry griddle pancakes with a side of chicken sausage. My partner got the Hog And Chick combo which looked good. The potatoes and toast on that combo were very tasty! My pancakes unfortunately were quite dry but extra syrup (which seemed to be high quality syrup) solved that issue. The service was decent, maybe a little slow. The ambience inside was what you'd expect. Standard brunch place vibes but nothing special. Didn't add or take away from the experience. Also quite loud in there. Overall we had a nice time visiting but probably will try other places for breakfast next time. read more

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

In short - NOT BIG food, however big-ly expensive. Food is good, service and ambiance were okay. Service is group serving, so you don't get one person to yourself, just 5 people asking you the same questions. The reason for the 2 stars is because we were expecting BIG breakfast because of the name - it indeed was very average size. My husband is a large eater and was so excited to order a double cheeseburger, then was so disappointed with what was given. Maybe 8-10oz of meat total. Additionally, when I saw the prices online, I figured they were steep because of how much food you get, again, not the case. Just a $70 lunch for basic sizes. We spent $25 on a double burger. Can you imagine? Even the additional pancake we got was $7. It was again average size. I have a newly 3 yr old, and he ate the ENTIRE thing. Also they don't offer a kids menu. So my son's eggs and pancake that he ate completely, was $12. Receipt for proof. If you go for big food, you will be disappointed. read more

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

Restaurant opens from 7am-2pm, it's a good idea to come early as tables fill up and are limited. Each table can seat up to 4 people, daily specials are available, and your greeted by a host upon entering. Good old fashioned style cooking. Really friendly servers, they kept asking if you'd want more coffee, that's a nice touch to service. Will come back again. read more

Very yummy, very sweet, very attentive, an ambiance of community. This restaurant and the people who run it are a reminder that food is at the center of all things in life that conjure joy. The opportunity to share a delicious meal at Matt's Big Breakfast is an opportunity to fall in love--the magic starts here. It brings peace to my soul to know that restaurants like this exist. #stayblessed #satiatednpleased #foe #onelove read more

Walked over for what I thought would be a good experience. I haven't been here for years. Didn't turn out as I remember. The menu is a bit more limited, which is fine. Ordered an omelette, hash browns and sourdough toast. The omelette was bland to say the least, with what I think was canned mushrooms as an add-on. Not good. The bacon add-on was sparse to say the least. The hash browns were greasy, and of an odd color. The toast and jam were great though. No offer for a refill on coffee from the waitress. Had to ask for a cup to go several minutes after she placed the bill on my table. I used to tell people I work with to make Matt's a must visit at some point. I will no longer do that. Disappointed for sure. read more

Overall, this is a place for a solid breakfast if you're willing to compromise on a couple of things - waiting and service. The Steak & Eggs with hash browns were delicious! I had no complaints here! The eggs were substantial and "meaty". The steak was a good medium rare and was tender. The sourdough and strawberry preserves were such a pleasant addition to the plate - fresh and not too sweet. The hash browns were good, oily, but good! The service was okay. This makes sense for a downtown restaurant that seemed short staffed. The waitress was running around and working hard. We got our plates of food but it was 5 minutes before we could dig in because she forgot our utensils and said she'd be right back. read more

Really fantastic portions at this place. We showed up at 9:30 AM on a Friday morning and the place was packed. However, the service moved fast and we were able to get seated within 20 minutes. We ordered the Waffle with Bacon and the Five Spot Platter (I.e. breakfast sandwich with hash browns). Both were fantastic. The waffle was crunchy on the outside and light and airy on the inside! On the breakfast sandwich, the bun felt a little dense but the flavors were all very good overall. Overall would recommend this place to anybody visiting from out of town. Guy Fieri gave this a thumbs up and we do too. read more

Best breakfast in PHX! Came in on the weekend and they were seriously packed. Makes sense... They only use fresh and local ingredients! No freezers and no microwaves in 2025? Love the quality. They don't do sections they have team service which I haven't seen much before but service was great. Not sure how they handle all these people every weekend for such a small restaurant but I love to see them thrive! Local mom & pop places are seriously gems and this place is just that! Thanks for the great food, will be back! read more

I keep trying Matt's because of the positive reviews, but I think I'm finally giving up. I just don't get it. The only good thing is that I didn't have a long wait for a table. My table was not very clean and there was a discarded napkin next to my table that got ignored the whole time we were there. There appeared to be confusion about who was supposed to serve our table: I needed to wave someone down several times for service throughout the meal. Other tables on either side of us got their food sooner even though they were seated later. The menu is pretty limited, and I found my dish, the daily scramble, very bland in spite of the inclusion of chiles. My partner's breakfast burrito was mostly tortilla and not much filling. Coffee was just okay. Basically, I think this place is very overrated. Three times is enough with the same experience, so I'm not going to try again. read more

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

I usually try to hit Matt's whenever I'm in Phoenix, not because it is awesome but rather, because it is usually better than anything else downtown from breakfast. During this recent visit I order the "Prime" Sirloin steak special; it definitely did not meet my standard of "prime" steak, sirloin or not. It was ok at best. The coffee was bad enough that I switched to water. Not really worth the money IMHO. The diner next to me had a bug or something else inedible in their food that they saw immediately and rejected which means it was plainly visible to both the cooks and the wait staff. They immediately remade her entire dish. I will say they were extremely busy which might explain everything being off a bit. I will give it one more time during my next visit to Phoenix but be warned Matt's, you're on a short leash. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast - Prime sirloin breakfast special with hash browns, two eggs over medium, and sourdough toast. Steak was meh; everything else was decent. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is such a high quality breakfast spot. Ive been coming here for over six years, back when they were in a smaller building and the food and service have always been impecable. I couldnt recommend this place enough. read more

This was one of the best breakfasts I have had in a very long time, I'd sell out a lot of people for another bite of that ham steak lol. Now that my feelings have been made clear, let's talk about it. I found this awesome place thanks to Yelp (no surprise there) and I'm so glad that I listened to the reviews. I stopped into MBB on a Sunday early AM before I was due to fly out of Arizona. I arrived and when I entered, I was surprised at the quick greeting and seating which seemed to happen within minutes. The restaurant was buzzing with chatting, hungry patrons, I was just happy to get my seat! Once seated, I was greeted within moments, a level of great service that I came to learn was the norm at MBB. I was a solo diner and loved that the waitress saw that I was watching a k-drama on my iPad while drinking my coffee, and proceeded to tell me her fave kdrama recommendations lol. And then another waitress came along, she joined the convo and added in her favorites lol. Ladies with taste! I kept my mask simple, opting for the Hog & Chick (sub off-the-bone Ham) + 1/2 shortcakes. Y'all. That was some gooood food. Simple, yet straight to the point with the flavor. The eggs were fluffy, the hash browns crispy on top but so moist beneath and the ham? *chefs kiss* The portion was a hefty one, juicy and a perfect addition. The shortcakes were unbelievable. I can't believe that was a half portion because, wow. Their were huge and fluffy, topped with a generous dollop of butter. When covered in the accompanying maple syrup, be prepared to take a dreamy desert drift for just a few until you snap out of it to enjoy the next bite. I'm definitely planning on visiting Arizona again very soon and when I do, I know where breakfast is waiting for me. read more

This place never disappoints. The eggs are cooked exactly as ordered, the pancakes are light and fluffy and the waffles come out of the iron brown and crispy on the outside. Coffee is hot and plentiful. Service is efficient and not overbearing. Get there before 9 or expect to wait - it's not a big place. Ask for extra butter and syrup - you'll need it. read more

Had a great time at Matt's Big Breakfast in downtown Phoenix. Located right next to Churchill's, Matts BB offers great portions of delicious, filling breakfast dishes. The dining area is small but I was immediately seated with no reservation on a Friday morning. The server only came once and other staff brought my food and checked on me. I ordered the Hog and Chick (upgrade to ham extra $2 but WORTH IT!) came with 2 eggs, off the bone ham, toast and potatoes. Soooo tasty, and large portion. I ate every bite. Highly recommend. read more

We were here on a Sunday around 830ish AM. Parking was abundant at this time, however, it was metered parking. The ones closest to MBB took quarters and card. My friend who lives in DT PHX recommends to always have coins in case the meters don't take cards. As of 04/2024, it is $1.50 per hr to park with a 4 hr limit. I like their menu and their choices as it is varied and has a little bit of everything. FOOD: My fiancé and I enjoyed most of the food. The toast here is very thick and not what I'm used to with other breakfast or brunch style. I liked it though. Super buttery and crunchy. It tasted even better with the jam preserves. And it was blueberries when we were there; not sure if it rotates or is always blueberries. I ordered the bacon originally and wished I stuck with the bacon. The sausages has flavor, but just lacked juiciness. It was very dry and much smaller than anticipated. They told me they were small, but not this small. It's barely bigger than the width of the preserves (see picture). SERVICE: I'm not sure if the server we had was new, training, or her first day. But she took our order and it didn't come out correctly and was dropped off to another table. We also saw that other tables that came after us got their food. I'm not sure if that's the cook's fault or her fault (whether she put in other people's order first or someone else beat her to sending their orders before ours). I had ordered hash browns and not the house potatoes. Usually my fiancé and I like to get different things to try each others and leave reviews. But we both got the same potatoes. I didn't find it in me to mention it to her since she seemed very flustered and I don't like to send food back to the kitchen. We had also ordered the griddle cake and never received that. We decided to not ask for it and leave. We made sure it wasn't on the receipt they gave us. We can see this place being very busy especially during weekend brunch! They have indoor and outdoor seating. The space inside is very small and can fill up very easily during the rushes. But the vibe is great to meet up with friends or family. We'd definitely come back to this place if we're ever in the area! read more

11/2/22 I came here on a Wednesday morning after arriving to phoenix. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated momentarily. My boyfriend ordered the chop and chick, I ordered the hog and chick with ham, and his mom got the smashed avocado toast with a poached egg. We all ordered coffee and it was phenomenal, we've all had 3 cups each. The only slight complaints would be; the avocado toast seems to skimp out on the amount of avocado you get. The other two entrees were great wholesome American country style meals, but they weren't too flavorful. I personally, doused my food in hot sauce. But other than that, the food was good. I was glad to have seen this is one of the restaurants' Guy Fieri choose to visit and give his approval. I would come back here again and try other options. read more
