Not impressed. In my opinion there are better breakfast places then this. Food was not what I expected. Limited choices. Restaurant is clean but the ambiance is cold and sterile. read more

I've been by this place many times and never stopped. I'm not sure why I didn't try it sooner but that is my loss. I was very happy when my mom and I went there. It is not a big place, so a Saturday or Sunday morning could get busy. They have some classics plus some very healthy options. Everything is made to order from scratch. The staff was friendly and the place was very clean. I will be back soon, I feel like I discovered a gem! read more

What a great breakfast place!! We stopped here before heading to the airport...everything was fresh and tasty. I don't drink coffee...my husband said the coffee is the best he had ever had...I tried it and it really was smooth and delicious If you're around Matt's, give them a try! read more

i've heard a lot of good things about this place and was excited to try. i took my brother with me to get breakfast together and right off the bat i got a weird feeling. We walk in, no one greets us. there's a host stand to the right of the entrance but no one is there, there are no signs indicating whether or not we seat ourselves, just standing there uncomfortably for about 2 minutes before someone acknowledges us. we get told to sit where there are menus so we picked a table and sat down. i understand their service model is "everyone serves you" and there is no singular person assigned to you like most restaurants, however i think this leads to bigger problems. because if "everyone is responsible" then i think the mentality goes to "someone else will get them" which i think leaves guests feeling unattended. the first waitress was kind of quick to get our drink orders, which was fine. but then we sat there for about 20-25 minutes without anyone checking in or taking our orders. two tables were sat after us and they were serviced immediately and got their food before us. i'm not sure if it's because they were white and we weren't, but it sure felt kind of hostile and uncomfortable during our stay. the food itself tasted fine overall, but didn't look too appetizing. the water was really gritty and didn't taste good, left a disgusting feeling in my mouth. for the two of us it cost $33 for just the entrees, no drinks which isn't a terrible price in this economy, i just wish i got more food for $16. read more

Got into town, excited about a big breakfast. Did some research found this place near the airpark. We ordered the fresh OJ, which was good. The waffle was good but small. The egg sandwich was thin but had a huge bun. Service was so so. All glass Lea and plates still on the table dirty when we left. Overall, not impressed and we won't be back. read more

This is a one-off of the classic "Matt's" in downtown. It lives up the elder's reputation for great breakfasts with prompt service. The eggs benedict special was fantastic, with good service in a comfortable setting. They have a pricy Bloody Mary that just about constitutes a meal in itself with protein included. read more

So I've been to the downtown location, and in every catagory, I was very disappointed at that location. At this location, I had another poor experience. I was seated outside literally 3 feet from the door, and the constant flow of people was definitely distracting from enjoying my breakfast. In addition, the bench seats are not padded, and when you lean back the frame of the glass pokes you in the back making it very uncomfortable seating. The food was sub-par. I ordered the pork chop and eggs. The eggs were over cooked, the hash browns were obviously left on the grill too long, and were hard. The pork chop was dry and tough. The service was poor. I had to ask for the one and only refill on my coffee. When I was finished and ready to pay the bill, it was obvious the waitress was not going to take the payment at my table. After waiting way too long for her to do so, I ended up having to take my check to the front register. When I very quietly made mention of my unpleasant experience, the waitress's only response to me was, "you have a nice day, sir." Needless to say, I won't be back to Matt's big breakfast at either location. read more

We've heard such good things about this place, so decided to try it. Either we hit them on a bad day or it just did not live up to the hype. They have some off-brand cola, which was horrible, and still the price of name brand cola products. Come on, just get coke or Pepsi. We got the Hog and Chick (which is your basic eggs, sausage, potatoes and toast), and the waffle w/bacon. The hashbrowns were so greasy you could wring the grease out of them and the sausage was nothing to write home about, other than a little hot spice, not much flavor. The waffle was good, but the bacon (thick cut) didn't taste like bacon--peppery, but no salt---Really lacked flavor. For $40, guess we expected better. Very disappointed and we won't be going back. read more

Food bland. Had omelette with mushrooms and onions. Mushrooms marinated/oily and onion was tough onion skins marinated. Not tasty. Toast was good. Service was good, nice , cordial servers Ambiance ok - room crowded with a couple to many table and chairs. Tough to maneuver around. Can't imagine what it would be like with a bunch of people. Tried this place twice...just not good. I first had Matt's Big Breakfast in Phoenix about 9 years ago. Food/Ambiance and service was excellent, what happened? This restaurant is in my neighborhood, won't be going back. read more

Food was terrible lemonade wasn't lemonade had to go to Popeyes after, omelets were wet,cups dirty just a terrible restaurant

Always a good place to grab a fresh bite. Since now there are more locations at makes the wait easier...

Good food, service was helpful but kind of aloof, very nice people though. The environment was calm, and prices were very high. They also have no fountain drinks which I really enjoy when I eat my breakfast, not a coffee man myself. Solid 3/5 read more

Today had to be the worst day at this restaurant. I had the most negative experience ever. I almost never had to write a review but just know the waitresses supplied almost zero customer service and the manager is a fucking joke. I go to Matt every other week for the past ten years. I received my check four minutes into getting my food. Not to mention the table wasn't cleaned off at all because I had bread crumbs and food residue on my elbows. Disgusting. The whole time not one person came to check on my wife and I nor attempted to even fill water after sitting empty for thirty minutes. Spoke to the mama her, no sincere apology, just zero sympathy. If the owners of this business reads this, you should seriously take this to heart because you didn't bust your ass from the past to build up Matt's this way. Remember this is your business you started not a corporation that it may turn into. read more

Was not impressed at all with the food. The omelette. Was nothing to brag about, there was nothing to it. Just like two eggs (if it was even two eggs) cooked and folded in half. Hashbrowns were cold and tasted liked crap. I will say the sourdough toast was very good, but you only get one slice. For what an omelette cost I would have thought you would get two slices of toast. Coffee was good I will never eat again. For the price it wasn't worth the stop. Much better places around area with better portions and better prices and get more. read more

Ordered the Eggs Benedict: They added spice to the hollandaise sauce; didnt like it. Also the hashbrowns had a strange seasoned taste; didnt like it. Hashbrowns should be plain shredded potatoes. Why ruin it with spices? Thought I would try it, but prefer First Watch. read more

Do not come here for breakfast, the service is the worst of any breakfast spot in town. Today we didn't receive our full orders, and waitress never checked or came back to our table once after ordering. Plus the food is drenched in grease. Stay away. read more

This place is a small ambience type place which is nice when you walk in. Seated pretty quick and waitress to us pretty quick. You get food and drinks very quickly. But that's where the good stops. Food is OK as they are really trying to be a unique breakfast place by doing different things that really don't go well. Not great though. Then, never see the waitress again. A different waitress brought our check while I watched our waitress sit and talk. Asked for water for my son about 3 times and still never got. Service sucks and prices are way too high! Food isn't great. Will cross this off our list First watch is so much better read more

Probably my favorite avocado toast of all time. I love this breakfast spot, the bacon is always pretty cooked and crispy which I love!! read more

Stopped in for breakfast today with my husband. I was excited when I saw the special on the board of eggs Benedict as that is my favorite breakfast, but we had not seen it on the menu online. So it felt like it was meant to be. We were told to sit anywhere we liked and got menus and our drinks pretty quick. Sadly that is when the quick service ended. It took them a good amount of time to come back to get our order, then once the order was placed about 15+ minutes before it arrived. As we weren't in a rush this was okay with us. My husband opted to try the Bog Daddy Burrito and I obviously went with the eggs Benedict. Sadly my eggs were raw (clear and white wiggly on the inside, which I could not eat). I did tell our server and she took it right away and asked for new ones. Surprisingly it took another 15+ minutes for the new order to come out. (It took so long another waitress brought us the check and asked my husband if he wanted a box, since he was eating his slowly so he could eat some of it with me.) It finally came out and it was no raw at all. Sadly it was not poached either and the yolks were nice and hard on the inside. I ate it but I can understand why they don't have this on their regular menu. As for my husbands burrito he said it honestly tasted like they just put salsa verde in it, he was not too impressed either. Sadly the lack luster service and meh food won't have us coming back. read more

Holy disappointment! I've been wanting to go here for months. The first time, I went in just to get a busicuit, I was told I couldn't get just a biscuit, I had to buy the whole special. Which was biscuits and gravy with I believe the side was sausage. I just want biscuits. I dont like gravy and don't want sausage or bacon. A month or so later we met up with friends for breakfast. 4 adults and 2 kids, and no one left semi full (not cause we are fattys, but because we didnt eat a quarter of the food) or semi satisfied. read more

Good food and atmosphere! The staff was inviting and friendly! The omelettes are amazing!

Loved the fresh orange juice & jam. Nice location but not the friendliest location which makes me wonder if that's why the place was empty from 8-9 am? Food was delicious, restaurant was clean. They do have a patio but the chairs were leaning up as if to say "patio seating closed". read more

Tried two different locations over the years, disappointed both times. I've never seen a place that gets so much hype that is completely below the competition (actually cold beer and cheeseburgers too, but I digress). This place is like food you would make at home, but I don't mean that as a compliment. It's super boring and average. This place doesn't make sense. IHOP is literally better, I wish I was joking. No biscuits and gravy (what???), no benedicts, no chilaquiles, no oat milk... Just no real options. It confuses me how Matt's is so popular when literally EVERYWHERE ELSE is so much better. Matt's isn't "bad" (how do you make a bad breakfast?) but there's just 0 reason to go here over anywhere else. Maybe they should change the name to Matt's mediocre breakfast read more

Yummy! Great service. Sadly no gluten-free toast/pancakes/waffles:( convenient to the 101. Ample parking

Well I went to lunch here and there was hardly any cars in parking lot. Menu was very small for a breakfast/lunch place. I ordered the tuna salad sandwich that came with "kettle chips" and then went to the women's washroom to wash my hands. I felt like I needed to wash my hands after using that bathroom! Some garbage on floor. One of the two rolls of tp was completely empty. And you just know no one has been checking up on cleanliness of the washroom since they opened this morning. As a former food microbiologist, if the washroom isn't tidy then either is their kitchen. The sandwich was sad, no flavor on way to big of bread slices. And the bread was very dry. The chips were just some Kroger brand I'm sure. Staff was nice! read more

Matt’s Big Breakfast - Arrowhead - Tuna Salad Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

My three positives and a negative because the world needs more positivity: + it's shared service - which is helpful when you need someone (though they should tell you this up front) + it's a local joint which I always enjoy + the portions are large - the food was just ok. The skinny had quite a bit of dressing on the salad; the breakfast burrito had more tortillas and potatoes than taste. I would rush back read more

I suspect the five star reviews were all written by friends and family. This place sucked. 1) The service was slow and inattentive 2) The coffee tasted watered down 3) All of our food was cold when it got to us, except the burrito that we had watched sit under the heat lamp for about 12 minutes before being brought to the table. 4) The beans in the burrito and huevos rancheros (daily special) were undercooked and hard. The tortillas were uncooked. It was the worst I've ever had. 5) They forgot the onions on the breakfast sandwich and didn't toast the massive amount of bread it came on. read more

This place was Matt's Big Disappointment: 1) Service was extremely slow, when we arrived there were open tables but took the hostess who was texting forever to seat us, seemed the servers did not want to be there and took it out on customers. 2) Coffee looked more like tea, must have been watered down, tasted very weak. 3) Everything was bad, we had the breakfast burrito with chorizo/rancheros sauce. Chorizo lacked flavor and it was a light tan color, wondered if it was actually chorizo, rancheros sauce had a sweet taste, not how l like rancheros sauce. Next was the breakfast sandwich, it was all bread and extremely dry. Last was the omelette, came out cold and had very little flavor, had to load up w/salt/pepper. None of us finished our food, it was really bad, we won't return. read more

Just tried out for the first time the hostess made us stand there to get a table bust and did nothing for like five minutes then she went and busted table sat down without a menu for another 10 minutes waiting for our server the place was busy but there were six or eight tables empty ordered the special French toast French toast breakfast took almost 20 minutes to get to the table the food was cold yet burnt on the bottom of the toast the chicken sausage that came with it was probably 70° in side not very good tasting we didn't eat our breakfast we are told the hostess waitress that it was like that she didn't make any apologies for it and handed us our check we won't be going back. read more

We've driven by for months after the sign went up announcing their opening soon. Finally it's here. What a disappointment. One and done for us. We both ordered our meals eagerly anticipating a good breakfast option since there are not to many out this way. I got the waffle which was good. Grateful to have Maple syrup! Have to say the bacon was a real bummer. Absolutely no taste. We ordered it crispy and it was. But just no flavor. Would not have guessed it was bacon. Nothing like the bacon at first watch. Coffee was interesting as well. Blindfolded I'd be hard pressed to know it was coffee. Eggs were good at least. My wife loved the toast. But the jam(?) was a letdown. She wanted me to try some because she wanted me to verify her taste buds. Bland. Service? Where? If you don't like the job don't make our time together miserable. Smile, life's to short. So as I said earlier one and done. First Watch here we come. Even Cracker Barrel's breakfast was better. Can't believe I typed that in public. read more

I've been to the original location in Phoenix, the upgraded location in Phoenix, the airport location and now the Arrowhead location. Each location had its different characteristics, but the one thing I've found consistent is the food. We ordered the waffle and chicken sandwich and they both were very good, per usual. This location has outside seating and the servers were attentive and the food came out fast. I am glad we don't have to drive downtown if we are craving this food! read more

Fluffy!!! One of the fluffiest, most delicious pancakes I've had. Eggs cooked perfectly. Not my favorite bacon kittle too much smoke and pepper for my liking. Overall fantastic breakfast joint. Will be returning. My girl says they need Tabasco. read more

The breakfast here is always perfection. We've had just about everything on the menu and have never had a complaint with food or service. The staff is always smiling, welcoming, and efficient. We usually sit at the counter and they make us feel as welcome as family. The food is amazing! Oh my gosh, the peppered bacon and pancakes are the best anywhere. Matt's is part of our permanent weekend routine. read more

Unfortunately our entire group was VERY disappointed with our breakfast dishes. My brother was treated rudely by front hostess. Food had no flavor and small portions. Many other tables next to us complained about their food. So sad this area doesn't have a good quality restaurant. Try Butters in Scottsdale! So good but this place is a hard pass! read more

First time here. We waited 40 minutes for our food. The portions were just right and very tasty. I had the waffle with 2 eggs scrambled. Cheryl had the hog & hen. Both dishes were very good. The only problem was being short staffed. Nice clean restaurant and simple menu. read more

I love breakfast. It's my favorite meal of the day. I'm always looking for a breakfast spot around Phoenix but I seem to get disappointed. When we first looked at the menu, we thought that there wasn't much of a variety to choose from. We started to get a bit disappointed. We decided to stay and try it. We ordered a half stack of pancakes, breakfast sandwich, and eggs, bacon and toast with the yummiest preserves. We were so glad we stayed. That was one of THE best breakfasts I have ever had. It was large portions. We took half of it home and I couldn't wait until I was hungry again so I could have more. Service was phenomenal!!! This is my favorite breakfast place now. read more

Food was ok. Service was ok. It was... ok. Maybe the problem was that our expectations were too high, but this was a bit of a let down. The hash browns were flavorless, starchy, and a little gray. The omelet was thin and basic. Nothing wrong with it, just could have made it better at home. Kettle chips were tasty. Sandwich fillings to bread ratio was off and lettuce was limp. The star of the show was the delicious whole grain bread but it was a little too thick cut for a satisfying sandwich experience. Food came out in a reasonable timeframe, but beverage refills would have been much appreciated. read more
