I have to say, I have never really been much of a breakfast person. With that said, Matt's Big Breakfast may change that. Why? Well, let's get crackin'! :)
The Food:
First and foremost, let's talk about the menu. It's small, but covers all you bfast must haves. Eggs to ham, oatmeal to waffles, they have you covered. They even have a big bowl of Frosted Flakes on the menu (ummmmm yum!). I got the Hog and Chick, which is two eggs any way, bacon or sausage, hashbrowns or homefries, with toast and homemade strawberry preserves. I got my eggs over easy, and I mention this becausemost places can't seem to make them right, but Matt's made them perfectly! The homefries were delish, and the toast and preserves made my tummy VERY happy.The only problem I had was with the bacon, too peppery. That is a personal preference though.
The Service:
The service was good. It took about 30 min to be seated, which is to be expected. It allowed time for me to walk around a bit and chat it up with my friend. So no complaints there. Our server (and I feel terrible because I can't remember her name) was very sweet and attentive. Only towards the end did her service become slow, but the drinks and food came out in a respectable amount of time.
The Atmosphere:
It is a smaller establishment, so its a little "cozy", but don't let that scare you away. Everyone is there to enjoy a good breakfast, so you're in good company. :) It's decor simple. It's pretty contemporary. It's very clean as well.
The Verdict:
Matt's Big Breakfast is awesome! Worth the wait, and worth the trip downtown. I gave Matt's 4 stars because I wasn't a fan of the super peppery bacon, and the service got a little slow at the end. Other than those two, everything else was great! I will be returning, and with friends.
