I visited a friend in Phoenix. She knew I was a breakfast buff so she took me to Matt's Big Breakfast since it was so well known around the city and the country. I enjoyed my meal but "big breakfast" was a bit misleading.
For starters, I thought the breakfast menu was particularly small and the options on the menu were strange. There was a breakfast sandwich, cheese omelet, pork chop and eggs, pancakes, salami scramble, waffle, oatmeal and frosted flakes. Yes, you could order frosted flakes for $4.50. Why? I don't know. Nothing really appealed to me on the menu which was strange.
I chose eggs over easy, bacon and hashbrows with toast. The bacon was phenomenal. This may have been the best bacon I've ever had. The hash browns were thinly shredded and very crispy but not burned in the slightest. The toast was thick and chewy with homemade jam. Everything I ate was excellent.
The service was atrocious. I ordered a coffee. I got one cup which was luke warm. I asked for a refill but that refill never came. I asked for water and that didn't arrive until the end of the meal. No one checked on us after we got our food.
I heard they moved to a new place which is nice, industrial and modern inside (think Chipotle) but it's small. The lay out is also stupid and there is a lot of wasted space.
Even at 9am there was a 1/2 hour wait to eat. I don't know if it's worth it. The food is excellent and well prepared but the rest is a bit of a mess. The menu may be small but it's all done well. I don't think I'd wait very long to eat here again. I've had better breakfast in Phoenix and I'd go there instead.
