| - I remember stumbling into Matt's Big Breakfast years ago when I first arrived by car in Phoenix with my crash mate .. we were hungry and downtown. I was a new Arizonian and Matt's looked like a regular Mom & Pop type of place. Once we found parking, ( this was before downtown really 'arrived' and it was still relatively easy), we ventured to Matt's and surprisingly found this long line! That kind of thing always intrigues me, so we waited awhile and thus, my first Matt's experience was born. I remember it being very good, basic, but good. Low and behold when I was in my old neighborhood recently getting my hair blow dried up, over and out , I met up with that same bestie crash mate and we re-visited Matt's. Only HERE, in Camelback. Yes. The long line does still exist, even at this location. No matter what time of day, as I have been to said blow dry bar often, and I always see a line at Matt's! Take note: that means it's good! Basic breakfast foods await you at Matt's. The Hog and Chick is my personal favorite. It's simple and it's good : Two eggs any way, ( I go for poached); home fried potatoes ; a thick slab of bacon; toast of any liking and their homemade jam! Matt's uses high quality, local & organic , when possible on most of their items. Since I am not a fan of what GMO's have done to us Americans... I look for that anywhere and any chance I can get it , is a plus. The coffee is ever flowing as is the H2O for us parched desert people. The juice is fresh squeezed. What more can I say? Matt's is simple , basic and takes it to the level of greatness without really having to try. NOW, as someone who loves to linger over a Bloody Mary or Mimosa at a weekend brekky? I would LOVE to see Matt's bring those two things to their city restaurants. They haven't. The Bacon Bloody Mary does exist at the PHX Sky Harbor location...& it's amazeballs. Maybe in the future! Matt's has done something right... simple is good.. being basic is awesome.
