Special place on many levels. The food, the location, the owner and waitstaff and the family tradition that they continue to proudly and graciously represent on every visit. Breakfast served all day
2012 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best Place for a Hangover Breakfast ! The staff is easy on your bloodshot eyes, and the chorizo & eggs will have you back to feeling like a million bucks in no time. Read more
Interesting, you would think breakfast here is Amazing considering the long wait on the weekends (get here early btw!) but truthfully this is a grungy dive with no upside - a mom & pop with no Pop! ????
Hands down best breakfast restaurant in Tempe. Feels like a hole in the wall place, but is always packed. Everything is great open till 2:30, just remember you can only split your check once
Excellent cream chipped beef and hash browns . Great service and an extensive menu. I'm excited to go back and try other dishes.
Overall great brkfast spot. It can be a bit pricey when compared to an IHOP or Denny's but it is very good food. It somewhat a locals brkfast joint.
Place is amazing! Had the percy omelet total yum my fiance tiffany omelet with asparagus and shrimp ewwww right totally freaking amazing and huge! service amazing friendly sweet this place is a plus!
There was this platter that embodied everything breakfast . Looked really good when my friend ate it in front of me. While I ate some protein dish, complete w/ cottage cheese . It was okay, but healthy.
I love this place! Try the ham n eggs ...:) Heather is my favorite server..She is awesome and lovely...:) I think you have to be HOT to be a server..:)
Harlow's is a gem of Tempe. Open for breakfast and lunch , it has a large menu of cheap , simple standards like bacon and eggs or biscuits and gravy . On weekends, go early or else expect a short wait .
The waitresses are adorable and always friendly ! Their huevos rancheros are great and their hash browns are what dreams are made of. My boyfriend loves the chorizo breakfast burrito .
Loved the place. Blueberry muffins were great!
Best breakfast place in town , greasy spoon style. And if you're lucky enough to be here when they have Machaca as the special, GET IT!!!
Try the Eggs Maximilian ! Crispy hash browns , green chiles and onions , on a giant tortilla , topped with eggs , spicy salsa , and sour cream - it's one of Michele Laudig's Favorite Dishes! Read more
Love the staff . Especially Olga. The thing I miss most about living in Tempe... that this isn't or local breakfast joint anymore.
Great find. It came recommended by a hotel . Great food. Local atmosphere. It's worth finding.
Corn beef hash with bacon . My husband loves the biscuits and gravy . Great service and great good!
So BOMB Best after a nite of drinking! Staff is Awesome and food Amazing. Especially the Parisian Omelette Bomb!
Had the Chorizo & Eggs from the SW part of the menu ... Really good, not greasy for chorizo . Be sure to get tortillas and stuff them yourself. Green or red hot sauce tops it off for more flavor!
I love to eat breakfast at this spot. Not to many people know about it but I would definitely recommend anyone to try this place.
Had an omelette , yum. Blueberry pancakes - they give you a stack & a half.
I've never had anything here that was even remotely bad. Quality REAL food. Great big portions and a great looking wait staff ...need I say more?
Eggs Maximilian is one of Phoenix's great breakfasts . Don't bother with the biscuits ; they may bake them fresh daily but then they put 'em in the fridge and microwave to order.
Bacon and biscuits are so yummy! Pancakes hit the spot.
The girls do a good job of pretending to enjoy flirting with the old, overweight white guys giving off rapey vibes.
Only place I have found that serves creamed chipped beef . Perfect place for an amazing breakfast .
Quality of food great! Outstanding service Alicia is the best server ever!
Great little Cafe ! Yummy Bloody Mary and Mules!!!!
Great food, great atmosphere, great prices. Highly recommend.
You really can't go wrong. Waffle was fantastic.
Good food N great server eye candy . Wow.
Best Clam Chowder ! Even better than the Cheesecake Fact!
Really good breakfast spot and the place closes at 2pm, so make sure to get there on time.
Make sure Cody is your server.. She is far and above the best!!
Great food! Taste fresh and homemade .
Everything on the menu is Awesome! !!
Awesome breakfast place, but always busy
Crispy corned beef in the Tom Mix....yum
Biscuits and Gravy is not so good. Cherizo dish is amazing!
Ask for Cody, best server they have! Haven't even been able to find a better server at other restaurants .
Huevos rancheros fer sure!, biscuits are goowd too! And I hear the eggs maxamillion is to die for....
You must try the House (Royal Kona) Coffee !
Come here after 11:00a so you have a choice of breakfast OR lunch .
The Eggs Maximilian !
Great breakfast !
For all of your breakfast and brunch needs.
Corned beef hash and fried eggs . Perfection.
Super fast service . Food wasn't amazing, but it wasn't terrible. Interesting little hole in the wall breakfast spot .
I ordered the special and it was cold. But I'm told the quality is usually better than that.
