Matt's Big Breakfast is a fantastic addition to the breakfast selection in the Northwest Valley. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are creatively prepared and rapidly delivered to the table despite a short 20 minute wait to sit down at this popular restaurant. A mimosa flight composed of 3 different fruits were pleasantly greeted with a bowl of ancient grains, spinach and mushrooms, beans and fresh herbs. The shared Belgian waffle hit that sweet spot perfectly, balancing our indulgent tastebuds. The Chop and Chick, my husband's all-time favorite, is just as good at this new location as it was at the original location downtown. The hashbrowns and bacon are the standard to which all others should be compared. I highly recommend visiting this local business. I can't wait to return! read more

I've now been to both Matt's BB, downtown and Arrowhead. Won't be going back to the Arrowhead location. The plate with my breakfast (I had an omelet and hash browns) was greasy from the hash browns, which didn't taste or look like made from scratch, more like frozen. Also, the grease tasted 'off' so the omelet and potatoes also had an 'off' taste. There was only one kind of hot sauce. The toast was OK, but the coffee was very weak - no bueno. I went early so seating and service were no problem. This location needs to up its game a lot before I'll go back. read more

This rating is based on the last four visits. We have been dining at this location since it opened but today's visit finally warrants a review. Matt and his lovely wife have created an incredible series of locations. We've always enjoyed their food and the service. This location has been different and frustrating since it opened. I am tired of making excuses for this location's food and service. It is bad. There has never been a sense of urgency and the staff is normally rude and at best indifferent. You are not greeted. Their system for taking names is dysfunctional. There is usually a wait despite multiple tables being empty but requiring bussing. The servers appear to not have assigned tables and therefore the idea is that they are to help all the tables. The result is no one knows if the table has been greeted or assisted and since there isn't a dedicated busser- the tables don't get cleared, cleaned, and reset. I think it is odd to be asked if anyone has helped us yet when you are sitting with a menu and no beverage. When you do finally get a drink, you are made to feel badly when your glass is empty and you ask for a refill. You have to ask for refills of coffee and water always. Today, I waited a very long time to be acknowledged at the door just to put my name on the list. When my name was finally taken-incorrectly twice- I was told the wait time despite multiple empty tables and no one at the bar. The bar is set up as a bussing station for the servers and I was told I couldn't sit there. Once we were finally seated, I ordered a hickory burger medium rare. The wait for the food was very long. When I finally got my food it was well done. The server asked my husband how his steak was prepared and never thought to acknowledge or ask me. I stopped her stating the my order was overcooked. Instead of apologizing and working to correct it, she looked at her order pad to see how I had actually ordered the burger. When she acknowledged I had actually ordered medium rare, she said they could remake it and it wouldn't take all that long to get medium rare. At that point I just wanted to be done. I gave the burger to my husband and just left. This isn't how the other Matt's are run. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. Our bill for two people is well over $50. This location is not a good representation of the brand. read more

Went into Matt's for the first time on Saturday. They were very under staffed and service was slow which wouldn't be an issue if the food was good. However, I ordered the big papa burrito and it was swimming in liquid. The entire inside of the burrito was mush and you couldn't tell the difference between the eggs , potatoes and whatever else they put in there. My friend ordered the avocado toast which has a $2.00 up charge just to add a egg and the toast wasn't even toasted and the $2.00 egg was still clear on the sides indicating it was not fully cooked. There were 4 of us total and the bill came out to over $70.00 before tip. The food portions are small and have absolutely zero taste. It was my first and last time eating at Matt's big breakfast! read more

The food is great. We just waited a long time to get our coffee and our waitress keep forgetting our coffee cream. read more

See all

Matt has done it again! This time in a bright airy space with a huge patio. But don't worry, it's still the same high quality ingredients and friendly service you are used to. If you've never been you need to get here ASAP for the huge portions and scratch cooking that has made Phoenix happy and full for years. Get over to the new location just off the freeway and get ready to eat! read more

Matt’s Big Breakfast - Arrowhead - Demolished another breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Since its first location opening up in 2004 Matt's Big Breakfast never disappoints. Today was this branch's grand opening here in Arrowhead and I wasn't going to miss it since I reside in the area. So many tasty options and I ended up going with my normal go-to, "The Hog & Chick" (Two eggs, choice of thick-cut bacon, served with toast, and choice of potatoes). Yum yum! read more

Matt’s Big Breakfast - Arrowhead - The Hog & Chick - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I've been going to Matt's for many years and will go to any location. I'm mostly stuck on their hog and chick breakfast because their rosemary home fried potatoes, thick cut peppered bacon and toast with homemade jam can't be beat. It's best to get there early but it's always worth the wait. read more

Bad food and bad management. Understaffed and wait times are unbelievably long. Rude manager. When our breakfast food finally arrived it was cold and barely edible. Oh yeah, and there was a hair in my eggs. read more

Bad food and bad service. Somehow they managed to make a chorizo burrito taste like nothing. And I could not get a refill on my drink. The waiter just absentmindedly wandered around but I couldn't get his attention. I won't return. read more

We went for breakfast this morning. We visit this location at least once a month and sadly it was disappointing.. we arrived shortly after they opened and they're usually busy.. we were the only table for at least a half hour and seemed a while for the order to come. I ordered avocado toast.. asked for thinner slice.. the avocado wasn't ripe and toast very thick.. my husband ordered the hog and chick.. ham was dry but home fries good as usual.. read more

Where do I begin...I drove 20 miles out of my way to eat here do to the thousands or magazine writeups and the numerous about of great reviews this restaurant was given. Yet, much to my dismay I was highly disappointed in the service, food, and price of this restaurant. I love to eat out and find myself a bit of a foodie and out of the the places I have eaten at this was the first time I didn't feel like a tip was even warranted. My wife and u both had the two eggs combo plate with hers being over easy eggs and mine being scrambled. My wife's eggs were perfectly cooked and at first glance mine were as well however when you bit into them they were so dry and overcooked even the ketchup on table couldn't help. Then ketchup was so sweet you might ass well have poured a pixie stick all over my plate. My wife sausage links were cook perfectly where as mine we just browned and served leaving the putrid luke warm and the center undercooked and cold. Next the brick of Hasbrowns started out super promising yet after you got through the top layer the rest of the potatoes were not cooked greasy and watery. Lastly the toast served with the meal was a nice touch but every bite was like an pure injection of butter down my throat. This my the bread unpleasant and would have Eben made Paula Deen cringe in horror.. I will never be back unless many changes are made. read more

Bad service,not only was the food terrible,it was lukewarm. I know I can be a jerk,but the other 2 people at the table agreed. Never ever had a worst breakfast in my life. You should be ashamed of yourself. read more

Overpriced, noisy, the outdoor patio is a joke and no Veterans discount! Added plus, Food sucks!

Super bland, soggy hash browns. Hard toast the hype on this was disappointing wouldn't go back

Busy place but worth the wait! Their sourdough bread is enough for me to keep coming back! The quality of food is great, no skimpy bacon here! read more

I am sad because I really hoped to like this restaurant. I had the pancakes and bacon and thought that would be hard to get wrong. Well....I found I was wrong. The bacon was flavorless and had the consistency of jerky. The syrup is supposed to be amazing but it tasted like the fake sugar flavored syrup I buy at Sprouts. I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. The pancakes themselves were fine. It just wasn't very good and I REALLY wanted to like it. read more

We had a really darn good breakfast. I had the hog and chick and the bacon and Ham was marvelous. Service was good as well.

I give this placed 2 stars just because the people that work here are awesome but the food is not. They prep the food ahead of time so it's fast but you get cold toast and pancakes that the butter doesn't even melt on. In fact sitting at the counter there was a pile of cold toast stacked. The hashbrowns were old and not good. I think the only thing I got cooked to order was the eggs. I was excited for this place to open and have had mediocre food twice now. There are much better breakfast choices in this area! read more

Food was okay but the server was borderline rude and I had to point out that the bill was wrong.

As always - THE BEST! Their thoughtful combination of top quality local ingredients, delightful service and hands on ownership makes this another home run for my favorite breakfast spot. SO happy y'all finally made it out to this area - see you soon!!! read more

Tried twice, staff is nice but not attentive, never got a coffee refill on either visit. Food was brought to the table cold or barely warm. Will maybe give one more chance. read more

We have been here the past 2 weekends in a row and I'm sure we'll be there again next weekend. The food is SO fresh, and absolutely delicious every time. They use only fresh, local ingredients and you can tell. The portions are generous, the menu isn't huge which is usually a good sign of quality food. They don't have a kids menu but my boys can get a full breakfast just ordering a side of pancakes and eggs. The service is excellent, they are very attentive and quick. We haven't met one server who wasn't extremely kind and attentive. The wait isn't terrible either, we always get in much quicker than the time quoted which is very nice with hungry kids. We have been recommending this spot to all of our family & friends who appreciate a quality, hearty breakfast! read more

Went to Matt's this morning excited to finally try it. I heard good things about their food. We tried the breakfast sandwich and burrito... both were bland, no flavor, bacon was all fat and potatoes were burnt. On top of that service was out of control we had like 4 different people running around us asking us the same questions. Really wanted it to be good :( read more

Waiting to try for awhile was told matts had great food and service. What a disappointment food was bland and service was non existence had to ask for menus and silverware eggs overcooked as well as bacon overdone. Had to ask for drinks several times all from different people passing by table. Extremely crowded table so be prepared to get hit several times from people passing by. Not impressed with matts will not be back. read more

We were so excited to finally try this location and the wait time was short only to be highly disappointed. As soon as we arrived the hostess appeared to not like her job. My daughter had to ask her if she wanted her name to add to the list after she asked for the wait time. When it was our turn she points and says that one back there with the menus on it. Our waitress wasn't interested in service at all and we only saw her twice. When we get our food it was not good. Hash browns were bland and no taste but grease. I asked for cheese on them and got a pound added which ruined them. The bacon was peppered and the consistency of beef jerkey. ​My daughter looked at me and said Dennys is better than this and Dennys is *@$*! I have always visited and loved the Phoenix location but I would not recommend this one. Better off taking the trip to Phoenix if you want to try it out. read more

We've driven by here a few times and it's always packed with people waiting outside. Got here about 9:45 this morning and luckily a table was just being cleaned, so no wait (lots waiting when we left). I had a breakfast sandwich, which was delicious. The thick bacon on it and the grilled onions really made it! My husband had an omelette with potatoes and he raves about the potatoes. His also came with thick rustic bread and berry jam that he really liked. It's a little cramped inside, as they fit a lot of tables into a small space. The servers were pleasant and attentive. read more

My husband and I had been wanting to try Matt's for quite some time. Last Saturday we finally made it. They were semi busy, but the wait was about 15 mins. The hostess was very friendly and quoted appropriately. We got seated, a gentleman came and got our drink order. They don't have coke/Pepsi, only bottled soda (can't remember the name). RC taste. Smaller menu, but good options. Someone different took our order. Someone else delivered our food. I had asked ahead of time for extra butter and needed syrup but they forgot that.but that's okay... it happens. But what truly bothered us was that not one person checked on us. My husband wanted salsa/hot sauce for his burrito and my pancakes were bone dry at this point. My water glass was empty, I drank all of my husbands water. His soda was empty. He finished his burrito and really liked it. I really enjoyed the flavor of the pancakes... they did not taste like every other place. Wish I would have been able to finish them.. but I don't like dry pancakes. The hostess cleared our plates, ran our card and wished us a good day. "Drop checks, turn tables..." I was a manager in the restaurant industry for 20+ years. Because the food was good... one day we may come back. But not anytime soon. Sadly. read more

I ordered an omelette, Eggs were overcooked and the cheese on the inside wasn't even melted,and not to mention the hashbrowns they looked sick!!and they were greasy on the inside yuck will not be back. It was new and decided to try it there a lot of other places around that have better breakfast read more

I finally go around to trying the new Matt's Big Breakfast. I was a regular and huge fan of the original, tiny location. What a big disappointment this Glendale location is. Half empty at noon. Indifferent servers. And the food was mediocre at best. Blueberry pancakes were decent, but hash browns and Salami Scramble were both overcooked and luke warm when they finally arrived. I think this is going to be a one and done. Very disappointing. read more

Amazing breakfast! The bacon is out of this world and the bloody mary's are awesome! We will be going back.

Large portion, and ok service. The food was covered in black pepper on my bacon and hash browns. I am not a fan of black pepper. I don't know if they can make it without all that pepper. They probably should ask the customer how they like their food seasoned, because the amount pepper seasonIng was to much on my plate of food. The sourdough bread and jam was amazing. read more

This place is great. I like the simple menu and open concept space. Super friendly with great food and beverage options. Definitely worth it. read more

Never been to a Matt's Big Breakfast so we decided to try today. Always heard good things but I would never go back. Food was not good. There was 6 of us and not one person liked their meal and we all ordered something different. Soggy hash browns, the bacon was like jerky and waffles were bland. My dads water was empty and he had to stand up and fill it up himself. Lots of servers but service was not perfect either. read more

A Big disappointment after all the hype. The service was great and people great. Our food was good but nothing special. I understand if people at home use local and organic and would choose this place. But the menu is very unexciting and so is the food. And a very limited menu. When I go out for breakfast I'm looking for different and delicious. My omelette was good but hardly any cheese. Potatoes were good but not exciting. If it were in my neighborhood I'd go but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

We had a group of 7 and when we ordered our food we indicated which of us would be on which checks. The waitress seemed fine with that and took our orders accordingly. But when the check arrived, the manager informed us that it "wasn't their policy" to give more than 1 ticket per table. She dropped the check on the table and walked away. Luckily, some of us had cash, so we presented that with a single CC for the balance. But our group won't ever go back because of this ridiculous policy. There are PLENTY of other places to get breakfast who will welcome larger parties. read more
