| - Imagine the original Matt's Big Breakfast, only in a slightly smaller setting. The menu is the same, the food is the same, and the service is the same. The only difference? Now, you actually have a place to park your damned car!
We've been waiting on this Matt's location to open for quite some time to the point where they were so far past their originally projected launch date that I had almost forgotten about it. And then, just on a whim, browsing through Yelp, I noticed that it had quietly opened its doors back in January.
Honestly, there isn't really anything I can say about Matt's that I didn't say in my review of the original location. The breakfast served here is what I consider to be the gold standard. It's traditional breakfast food that thrives on simplicity, without the need to be annoyingly trendy with stupid gimmicks like 500 different types of omelets or offering up liquor at 7am in the morning. Keep it simple, keep it good, and ultimately, you don't need all that other crap to keep customers coming back for more. Now, if you're used to only going to breakfast places that offer a Bible-sized menu of dishes to select from, this might not be the place for you.
In my opinion, you really can't go wrong with anything, including the thick cuts of peppered bacon, butter-infused hash browns, homemade jam, and various honey lemonades and orange juice. The quality of the food at this location is consistent with what we've come to expect.
If you come during busy weekend hours, don't expect the addition of an extra location to have an impact on wait times. It's just one of those things that we've all learned to tolerate. Good food can't always be kept secret, unfortunately.
In some ways, I do see this location as kind of an odd choice. It's not really very far from the other Matt's, so it's not like anyone is pocketing all this extra gas money by going here instead of downtown. But in the end, who really cares? Matt's could open up a location at the bottom of a tar pit and I'd still give them five stars for the food alone.
It's simply the best!
