Very simple, uncluttered menu, because everything they do here is great. I was thrilled with my waffle and bacon strips; I'm sure you won't be disappointed with whatever you order.

Todd Thomas

The food is the best ever, so fresh, great taste! The staff is super friendly , always goes up and beyond. If there is a wait, it's worth the extra time!!! Love this place!! Oh and you've got pancakes !

Irma C.

Plan on waiting if you go anytime past 8AM,but you will NOT be disappointed. Hog & Chick is my favorite on the menu and I always add a side of pancakes :)

Jorge Machaen

Breakfast was great! I had the Big Popa Burrito (pictured) and my wife had the special of the day (French toast and sausage ). Both were really... really good! And I didn't feel terrible afterwards.

Melissa Hernandez

It's all about that Five Spot sandwich , yum yum! The macaroni salad is great too! If you go, make sure to bring your appetite, they don't call it Matt's BIG Breakfast for nothing!!

Silvia Méndez

This is a fabulous place! Breakfast all day long. The blueberry jam was the best I've tried! Service is great. Very welcoming and warm. Ask for a stake knife if you need one ;-)

Arthur Young

Ate here today for the first time and now that I have had the food I would definitely wait any amount of time in the blazing sun. I will be a regular here for sure! Pictured is the Salami Scramble

Alejandra Guillen

Probably the best breakfast ever. It's my favorite meal of the day and the wait was definitely worth it. If you're looking for a hearty breakfast , The Five Spot definitely hits the spot every time!

Torunn Sinclair

Split the Salami Scramble and griddle cakes with someone. Both are to-die-for. The coffee is also some of the best in town ! Matt also has a coffee shop on First and McDowell called Giant Coffee .

Pushkar Ravi

I have never had a Waffles as tasty as Matts Big Breakfast ; also Scrambled eggs with Chicken sausage , blueberry lemonade are delicious

Phoenix New Times

This crowded breakfast nook has a big, hungry following. Owner Matt Pool's usually there, slinging a pitcher of orange juice and greeting people who come through the door. Read more

Daily specials are terrific however my favorite item on their menu is the Belgian waffle with Applewood smoked bacon -- yummy! Come early to get a seat otherwise expect to wait. Downtown Phx!

Jace Goodmiller

Came here after seeing it on Triple D. It is awesome. The pepper bacon is so delicious and the pancakes are amazing. Gotta get there early though or you'll have to wait, but it's worth it.

Raquel Manriquez

Just a good ol' fashion breakfast ???? here with your favorite trimmings! A simple menu makes for easy ordering! Taste a freshly made Blueberry or Strawberry lemonade !

Nneka Cherie

Everything is good. Don’t even get me started on that waffle and THAT BACON ? So delicious, it was offensive. The hash browns are to die for. Literally. I’m dead.

Phoenix New Times

Rosemary-flecked home fries are one delicious reason breakfast gets all the glory, but lunch 's Big Butter Burger , classic Reuben and Midwest-style chili are just as praiseworthy. Read more

Chris Lohl

Breakfast was good. Everything was under seasoned but good. Quality ingredients for sure. I don't get why everyone says this is the best breakfast on planet earth. Very good, but not stellar.

Cortney Kaminski

The only downside is the typically long wait time, but if you are just in it for the food I recommend ordering it to-go and picking it up, they are super fast with this and it is just as yummy!

Leila O'Hara

Regardless of what kind of breakfast you order, make sure it has hashbrowns on the side. They are perfectly crispy on the outside, but hot soft on the inside, and my favorite potatoes EVER!

G-D A

I order the skinny which was very good my guest order the traditional eggs bacon home fries and a coffee everything was Cold he had to ask 3 times to have a hot cup of coffee ????

Zach Nichols

Just about the best waffle and bacon I've ever had... Wow! Excellent coffee and service too. Cool design.

Will Garré

The pancakes are quite toothsome, and have the most perfect dollop of butter on top. The bacon goes great with the pancakes , so I suggest getting that on the side.

Dave Baker

It's not in an old Phoenix house anymore but its new location is still cozy and different than most breakfast places. Food is amazing though a bit pricey . $8 for a waffle & bacon .

Andre Cabrales

If the wait is long, you can put your name in and go wait at their coffee shop (Giant Coffee ). They'll call Giant when your table is ready! It's excellent coffee too.

Food blogger Kathy of Crafty Chica recommends Matt's Big Breakfast. "Try the kicked-up cherry-bourbon sausage , the Salami Scramble , and the Belgian-style waffle with sweet butter and maple syrup ."

Samantha Kook

Go early and sit at the counter, always order the special. Food is local and fresh. Feat. on Diner , Drive-ins and Dives so it is stellar. Oh, and say "hi" to owners Maria and Matt!

Gerald A

I love this place. Yes is well worth the wait for a table. Mark my words, "you will not be disapointed", food is the great quality and served quickly. The Staff is Great. Crispy Hash Browns and gr Read more

Fantastic Phoenix breakfast spot - everything from incredible pancakes , omelettes , bread and jam . Perfection.

Jane Holm

We live in Minnesota and have been here 20 times - so far! The breakfast choices are all amazing. They also create one of the tastiest burgers on the planet!

Chuck C

Can't to wrong with the steak and eggs ! Always ask for medium well for restaurant prepped steaks . Substitute the potatoes with grilled tomato slices .

Ralph Skrzypczak

If you want theSpecial Eggs Benedict on a Thursday, get there before 10am. It's so popular they often run out of supplies early on because its all made local and fresh!

Laura G Adams

Everything on the menu was awesome. Loved the salami scramble and the pancakes/waffles are to die for!

Bob Downs

Everything is good here but the potatoes cooked in olive oil and seasoned with salt and rosemary ...! OMG, I ate too many of those! YUM!

Mike Sleep

classic diner food with high quality ingredients. service is exceptionally quick and friendly .

Haley Buntrock

This place is worth the wait. While their menu is all very good - don't hesitate to order the "specials" - they will surprise you in a good way!

Edward Hernandez

Make sure you have freed up your day if you want to come here but the wait is well worth it. If you like trying something new grab the daily special , can't go wrong.

Lorraine Rizzotto

This place was wonderful all around! Impeccable food, superior service, lovely atmosphere! People are so nice and helpful.. I'm sad to go home! Let me steal you!!

Cheapism

Matt's is a Phoenix classic. Get breakfast or lunch (after 11am) from 6:30am to 2:30pm. They source the best ingredients possible. There may be a line when you get there, but it's worth the wait. Read more

Jeff

Awesome breakfast with great service (with a genuine smile). Be prepared to wait, but it's worth it! Great pancakes and omelets !

Best breakfast in the valley. Everything is fresh and delicious. Get whatever the daily special is. It's bound to be good.

Tracy Shelton

I use to walk by this place every weekend and it is always crowded with people standing outside waiting to get in. Great breakfast food if you don't mind the worth while wait

Laura G Adams

This is without a doubt the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at. Everything is good, but I would highly recommend the pancakes !

Sean Miller

Waffle and bacon we’re pretty good. Go early before the wait gets long.

Amazing! Like eating moms home cooking but 10 times better. Get the home fries they're dressed w/ rosemary & onion . The best! And the waffle w/ real maple syrup ...Oh the happiness

My fave is the hog and chick. Generally their specials are great too. Don't miss the honey lemonade .
