| - I have seen this place many times and was always curious to try it because it always seems to have a line-up on the weekends during brunch time. Now I know why.
This place is strictly breakfast and lunch and they do them both well and it is BUSY. The menu is interesting and the vibe is fun. Servers wear hipster plaid and trucker hats. the menu is fun to read as it is a tad cheeky which I love, but the main reason to try Snooze is the food. Bar none, for the money, this is some of the finest brunch food in Phoenix.
Their Benny's are creative, their breakfast meats have that down-home feel: real sausages, thick cut ham steak, thick bacon strips.
There are plenty of veggie options as well for those not inclined to partake of salty flesh.
The service has always been very good and they seem to manage their line-ups well offering toys and sidewalk chalk to keep the kids busy and free coffee for the adults waiting of tables.
This is the rub and why I'm not giving this place 5 stars: the waiting. Unless you arrive super early or unless it's the middle of summer you will likely have to wait for a table. I'm not the type of person who is willing to wait very long for a table, especially for breakfast. I'm ok to lounge in the bar while waiting for a dinner table, but if all I have on board is some hot water with lemon and an espresso from home, I need to eat NOW! otherwise I end up unreasonable and Hangry.
All 3 times I visited between 10am-noon I have had to wait at least 20min for a table, and once it was more like 40 and that was on a weekday. They will take your name and cel number and send you a text when your table is ready which is a nice technology-forward feature to managing wait times. Feel free to go next door and browse the racks at Nordstrom's while you wait.
Also, once you do get seated, because the food is so well made and nicely presented, it takes longer to hit the table than your usual slop n' drop diner breakfast.
The bottom line is is you are 3 or more in your group and it's between 10am and noon on a weekend and you guys are STARVING, I would go elsewhere. However, if you had a snack at home and are willing to put in the time, their food and service are worth the wait. The servers have the option to "give them the pickle" ( Anyone in the biz knows what this means. Google it.) and drop free food items on the table which can be the pancake of the day or some other delectable item to share which can stem the tide of famished glances towards the kitchen and is a nice touch.
This is likely a great place to take the person you hooked up with last night for a first breakfast together, just be sure you have had a piece of fruit or something before you leave the house otherwise you may end up in a hunger-fueled tif on your first venture out together in the light of day.
I usually try to take my out of town gets there for a meal when we have visitors because it is a bit of a Phoenix institution and I always enjoy the nosh! Don't hit snooze too often, get your butt outta bed and get to Snooze!!
