| - What am I missing here? I have heard about Matt's since moving to Phoenix almost 5 years ago, but never wanted to wait outside in the heat to try it. Now that they have moved into a bigger building, I figured I could try it. The space is cute -- kind of a minimalist industrial theme. I was not AT ALL impressed with the menu. Not much to choose from, and you'll end up having to order items a la carte if you want variety in your meal (e.g., I didn't see any meals that included pancakes, a side of breakfast meat and eggs -- in fact, the pancakes don't even include a side of breakfast meat, so you have to order that a la carte).
I ordered the waffle, which does come with a side of bacon, and an orange juice. The orange juice, although fresh-squeezed and very good, had to be the smallest glass of OJ I have ever seen. It was basically a large shot glass. At $2.50 a glass, I felt a little jilted. The waffle was really good! It was definitely fresh and buttery. The bacon left a lot to be desired. It was pretty fatty, and the pepper crust really didn't add anything to the flavor.
Maybe my expectations were too high based on all of the rave reviews I have heard about Matt's, but my experience was just okay.
