I stopped at Matt's Big Breakfast in Terminal B and was immediately greeted by Javon. From the moment I walked up to the counter, he made me feel welcome with his warm smile and positive attitude. In an airport where everyone seems to be rushing, Javon took the time to be genuinely kind and personable. Customer service like his is rare these days. He was friendly, professional, and created such a great first impression that it set the tone for my entire experience. It's clear that he cares about the people he serves and takes pride in his work. Matt's Big Breakfast is fortunate to have someone like Javon representing their brand. Thank you, Javon, for your outstanding hospitality and for making a traveler feel valued and appreciated. You turned an ordinary breakfast stop into a memorable experience. read more

So...not great. Slow slow service. Very unorganized. Food is Meh. Before we ordered three different people tried to take the order. Once we ordered we were not checked on. The food took 30 minutes to arrive. read more

The food quality is amazing. I love the eggs with cheddar and the sausage patty and bacon. The pancakes are so good too!

Matt's Big Breakfast is a popular breakfast spot established in 2004 and currently has multiple locations in the Phoenix area, but this is the flagship location. This breakfast spot was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAidCOYC0_g ). In December 2025, Matt's Big Breakfast expanded and relocated to its current location which has a larger dining area + keeping the same menu. The new location is right next to the old location. [Parking]: I didn't see any available spots in the designated parking lot behind the restaurant, so I ended up parking few blocks away from the shop (plenty of metered parking spots near the intersection of E McKinley St & N 5th St). [Waiting time & Ambiance]: Our party waited about 5 minutes before getting bar seats. The restaurant has indoor tables, bar seating, and outdoor tables. [Menu]: According to the Food Network bio, specialty dishes at Matt's Big Breakfast include waffles, bacon, and The Chop & Chick (breakfast pork chops with eggs). Yelp's top highlighted items are The Hog and Chick, The Five Spot Platter, and Salami Scramble. *** Waffle with Bacon (made-from-scratch Belgian-style waffle, sweet cream butter and 100% Vermont maple syrup with two slices of thick-cut bacon - $12.49): A crispy waffle with two large slices of thick-cut hickory-smoked bacon. The bacon had a lot of pepper and tasted a bit dry. *** A solid 3.5-star on food, but bump down to 3-star due to not getting a refill on our bottomless coffee order. read more

This place is so fun, bright, and airy. It was within walking distance of my hotel. I would make sure I went after the early morning rush so there would be no wait. The first time I had the Cheese Omelet, it came with Wisconsin cheddar, aged provolone, or American, folded into three eggs, potatoes, toast, homemade preserves, roasted peppers, or sautéed onions. with home fries. The second time I got The Skinny: Four Egg whites, spinach, onion, and salad. Plus two blueberry pancakes, which were huge. This time, the wait was a little longer because there were more people here. As a lover of breakfast/brunch, I would definitely return. Plus, it is conveniently located right in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, which is very walkable. Plus, they have Rishi Tea, which is one of my faves! read more

I hadn't been to MBB in a few years, but when my girlfriend came to visit we decided to go--and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere and consistent quality from start to finish. Thoughtful menu options that suited both of us perfectly. Friendly service that made the visit feel special. read more

Guy Fieri did NOT steer us wrong with this one We first saw this downtown Phoenix breakfast spot on YouTube when it was a small location -- and now it's expanded, remodeled, and absolutely beautiful. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating, and even on a Monday morning it was packed (but still easy enough to grab a table). The food? So good. That homemade lemonade honey drink is to die for. I had the Big Papa Burrito -- chorizo, potatoes, egg, and cheese wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla made right here in Phoenix -- and it absolutely lives up to the name. Huge and delicious. They carry Arizona-based Gunslinger hot sauce (love the local support), but their in-house hot sauce is my personal favorite. And the pancakes? Fluffy perfection. Delicious, generous portions, great vibe, and reasonably priced. If you're in downtown Phoenix, this is a must for breakfast. read more

Gave this place a try after seeing it on triple D food was good. Can't go wrong with breakfast. Everything seemed fresh. It was busy service was friendly. Ordered the waffle and some eggs with a side of toast it was good but I thought the waffle could be better seemed a little over cooked. Bacon was good. It was an overall good experience. read more

Matt's has been consistent since they set foot in the valley. Multiple locations, efficient breakfast. My steak and eggs were tasty this morning and the bar had us well taken care of. The host seems to be a little bit aggressive for a pleasant Sunday morning but overall a good meal. Not too much inspiration but a solid start to the day. read more

Top of the Morning Mattttttttt.... We're here for your Big Breakfast! Location: Located in downtown Phoenix near Arizona State University, this this place is hard to miss. It has indoor and outdoor seating for beautiful weather days. Parking: Im sure that I paid attention to parking. We walked to this location. Ambiance: A cute breakfast spot. Fresh flowers on some of the tables are a nice touch! It is also giving farm to table fancy farm vibe. Im not mad at it. Its kinda cute. Service: We got service with a smile. We were able to walk up and get a table. No issues/ no reservations. Our table host also made some great recommendations. The Food: We got there Big Papaa Burrito, Cheese Omelet, and the special of the day... Corned Beef Hash. They all tasted amazing. The Burrito was my favorite! It was super spicy just the way I like it. In short, we will be back. Im going to have dreams about this Burrito! Lol read more

Hair in the food, manager straight up tried grabbing the card out of my hand while I was still reading the receipt, the group service is insanely disorganized. Only second time in my life I've ever left no tip cause overall it was a bad time and the manager at the end was out of line. read more

We came here around 7:30 am on a Sat morning and it was surprisingly empty. The ambiance is bright, happy, colorful and brings a smile the moment you walk in. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a group of 4 and ordered the 2 of the breakfast veggie scramble special - egg scramble, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, spinach, with sourdough, hash browns and side of egg, the big Pappa Burrito, an avocado toast and orange juice. The portions are big. Veggie options are very limited and they don't do substitutions (gluten free or vegan). The scramble was good. The hash browns were the best part - super delicious, crunchy yet firm. The big Pappa Burrito was ok. I wished it had more punch in flavor. The avocado toast was good. Orange juice was freshly squeezed. Pricing wise, it is on par for the area but I think the prices are a little high for a brunch/breakfast place. Overall, food is good, but not mind-blowing. read more

I have been to MBB Downtown quite a few times. I believe they have the best bacon in Phoenix. I have recently started going to pickup my breakfast because I live so close and work about 80 hours/week. Until today, I have been going inside and just mentioning that I had a pickup order, I would be handed my order, and go on my merry way. Today I go inside and tell them I have a pickup order...LIKE EVERY OTHER TIME. I am told to walk around the outside (It's Phoenix in July) to the "pickup window." Seriously? Who thought this was a good idea? Inside, there was 2 tables occupied. Who the heck am I bothering by coming inside to get my food? So I go outside - did I mention it's Phoenix in July? I'm waiting on my food... and playing fetch with the mosquitoes, who proceeded to give me 6 bites. Guess they were hungry too. I have made the executive decision to not go back to MBB until they come to the realization that it's not a problem to come inside (where it's air conditioned) to pickup my order. Bacon quality does not supersede the ineptness of the pickup window idea. Chick-Fil-A, here I come! read more

Bacon was so good. Thick and sourced from the pork shop in Queen Creek. I ordered avocado toast. It was good. Avocado spread was very cold so I'm happy they didn't put my egg on top of it which was what I thought they would have done when I ordered together. My friend's breakfast was warm at best but they brought her out a fresh hotter order of potatoes. My husband ordered a burger and he liked it. We had to ask for coffee refills otherwise everything else was good. read more

Busier than a one-armed paper hanger.. Not far from ASU so lots of college kids. Short wait, but they seated my best friend, Baby, in the corner pretty quickly. We both had eggs w link sausage, potatoes, and sour dough bread. Bottomless coffee, priced at $3.99 a bit higher than normal, but Baby got his money's worth... 4 cups. Service was excellent (Gisela). Strawberry compote provided for the toast (Baby thought it was salsa!). My potatoes were excellent...like a cross between a potato pancake and hash browns. 4.5 stars read more

Matt's Big Breakfast is always busy. It's great that they have moved to a larger location. I ordered the hog & the chick. Basic breakfast food. Just disappointed that I specifically asked for the bacon to be extra crispy and it didn't come out that way and then our waitress disappeared until the very end when we were ready to pay so I couldn't even have it corrected. read more

There's always a line here on the weekend. We got there a little before 10 and only had to wait about 20 minutes, but by the time we left there were a lot of people waiting. I've tried Matt's a couple of times but this was the first in their new building. Everything I've tried has been pretty good. I got the grains greens and beans bowl this time and it felt light and nutritious while also being filling and flavorful. I really liked the addition of the poached eggs and I would definitely get it again. read more

Yesterday, I looked for a breakfast spot and found Matt's Big Breakfast. After landing in Phoenix, we headed there. Rachel welcomed us, took our orders, and took good care of us. Hubby and I had coffee and Dad had orange juice. I ordered Blueberry Pancakes with a side of bacon. Hubby had the Corn Beef Hash with sunny side up eggs and sourdough toast. Dad had the Basics with 2 scrambled eggs, hash brown, and wheat toast. Everything was wonderfully prepared. Highly recommend a stop at this place. read more

Had yet another amazing experience and Matt's. All of the staff is so friendly and really enjoy how consistent the food has been for all these years. The newer space is pretty amazing too! read more

Walked in and were able to be seated immediately. We had looked at the menu before we arrived so I knew I wanted the chop and chick with hasbrowns (delicious!). My friend got the poached eggs and a double order of hashbrowns with sausage links (very good). They poach the eggs in the stainless steel bowls they're served in so the cook and shape are pretty perfect every time. The restaurant was clean, bright, and despite doing prompt business they let us hang around and kept our coffee and iced tea full. Great team working here and the signature bacon is good and not nearly as peppery as it sounded. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast - Chop and chick with a side of bacon. Also pictured the maple sausage link, fluffy sourdough, and Cult Coffee! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The food was good. The space is neat. And the service was friendly. For all the grease in this type of food, the space was really clean. I liked that they had their hot sauce on the table. Coffee mug was always filled. Eggs were fresh. Berries were delicious. (Ok the only food I didn't like was the maple sausage... which was way too much maple flavor and not enough sausage flavor.) other than that, parking can be limited. They have a small parking lot in the back, street parking for free, the pay for parking is an arm and a leg that's behind their parking. Try and find somewhere else to park so you can spend that money on the good food. read more

Matt's Big Breakfast - Chop and chick - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Overall a decent experience, but with a few drawbacks. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but the outdoor option is right next to two busy roads. Inside was loud. The sound of metal chairs constantly screeching against the floor made it hard to enjoy the meal. If you're sensitive to noise or nursing a headache, this might not be the most peaceful spot. The hash browns were the highlight: perfectly crispy and addictive. I'd come back just for those. The bacon on the Five Spot Platter was also excellent - crispy, flavorful and not overly greasy. I wished I had order bacon as a side on its own!! The breakfast sandwich was solid, though it could've used a sauce to tie everything together. The grilled onions were a great touch and added a nice sweetness. read more

One word "WOW"!!! The guy at the front didn't play when it came to seating and making sure that tables were clean as soon as, someone left to seat the next group/ human. A very fast pace environment!!! Shout out to Iseal and Rachael who were our waitresses and who were both amazing by being on top of everything from making sure we had everything, ( water and coffee topped off, to getting you the bill). Great service to say the least!!! This is such a fast pace environment with tight seating and I'm talking, very close together seating but not bad nor should it detour you. . This place gets very busy and I can see why! The food was AMAZING!!! YES very fresh, hot off the grill and with the absolute perfect seasonings. Whomever the cooks are, they definitely know seasonings!!! My LORDT I can't tell you any restaurants that I've gone to, where the food was seasoned and I didn't have to add anything to it! Great job guys!!! "Guy" from the food network has even come here in which, that in itself, should tell you how great this place is! The portions of the food is HUGEEEE and of course, I ate every single bite! My daughter mentioned that, the portions could be cut in half and I'm looking at her like, "girllll no it shouldn't" because, it's called BIG BREAKFAST for a reason! We both had the rocking pig(see photos). There's free parking in back of the building as well as, paid metered parking on the street. We were able to score free parking. When we were called to be seated we were placed at the window which, was my favorite seat in the house. I preferred the window or bar seating because you have a little more space and could people watch. My only complaint is, I went to wash my hands prior to eating and noticed that their bathrooms are disgusting! It's not unusual that lots of restaurants have disgusting bathrooms but I'm wondering why restaurants don't invest in having cleaner bathrooms. I'm not speaking about only " Matt's" but lots of restaurants have gross bathrooms. It's disturbing since they work with food! I wish that inspectors of businesses where food is served especially inspect bathrooms. All bathrooms should be newly updated even if the building is outdated in my opinion! Side note not related, but in my opinion, All bathrooms should have sensors on doors and washing sinks so that humans, never have to touch handles in bathrooms nor on the way out of bathrooms. I'll DEFINITELY RETURN!!! Yes yes yes one of the best restaurants that I've gone to, in downtown Phoenix! Thanks guys, for such great food and service! If I could give 10 points I would, based on food and service. read more

While visiting Arizona, I made it a point to stop by Big Matt's -- especially after hearing it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. It was definitely a popular Saturday morning spot, but even with the crowd, the wait was only about 15 minutes -- totally worth it! Let me tell you, they call it Big Matt's for a reason -- everything is oversized! My waffle was literally the size of the plate, and the hash browns came out on their own plate. Generous portions and great presentation. My friend ordered the GRAINS, GREENS & BEANS -- a hearty bowl of farro, sautéed local baby spinach, heirloom Anasazi beans, topped with poached eggs, crushed herbs, and pink Himalayan sea salt. She added mushrooms and said it was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. One of the best parts? Matt himself was there, greeting guests and making sure everyone was having a great experience. He was so friendly and attentive, and the entire staff was welcoming and kind. If you're in the area and looking for a delicious, feel-good breakfast or brunch spot with huge portions and warm vibes -- Big Matt's is a must! read more

Came here for breakfast. They are opened for lunch, too. Street parking. There is outside seating and inside dinning. The staff are nice. We ordered an orange juice and honey lemonade to drink. Both were good. Fresh squeezed. They have a daily special menu. I thought to try the salami scramble. I've never had salami with eggs before. Sounded good. My husband order the blueberry pancakes with bacon and eggs on the side. My salami scramble came with hash browns and toast. The salami tasted good, but the scrambled eggs were overly cooked. It tasted ok. They hash browns were crispy and good. I liked the hash browns. I really liked their strawberry jam that came with the toast. My husband really liked their blueberry pancakes. I tried a bite of that, and it was good. Good place for breakfast, not bad. read more

This was such a great random find! We were in downtown for some work and were looking for brunch and ended up getting breakfast here. Got seated immediately! The vibe and atmosphere is okayish! Family friendly as well. I got the classic with thick cut bacon, house made strawberry jam and orange juice! My husband he got the avocado toast with a side of apple sausage and coffee. The server's work together as a team so expect not to have a dedicated person for your table! Everyone is coming and helping. I loved that. It was quick and responsive. I cannot say enough how good the food was! Truly farm to table, nothing felt frozen and everything tasted like it was from scratch and freshly prepared. Definitely recommend this place but again good luck with finding that right parking space in Downtown! Sorry we were so hungry that we skipped the photos! Food first. Lol read more

Like all locations, this place has great food with healthy portions and the staff was very friendly. This location has a strange atmosphere, though. It was super dark and a bit to "industrial" in my opinion.. to the point where it felt like the place wasn't completely put together. Just a very different vibe from other locations and not a "homey breakfast diner" feel. Otherwise, I'd continue to come back for the consistent quality of food! read more

Mat's Big Breakfast was absolutely fantastic! The food was really, really good and you can tell the chefs put a lot of care and skill into every dish. I also loved the aesthetic of the place; it feels welcoming and thoughtfully designed. One thing that stood out to me was their team service approach everyone works together seamlessly, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious breakfast with great vibes and top-notch service!

We stumbled into Matt's Big Breakfast after the place we originally wanted to try had a long wait and we were starving. The menu has a lot of classic breakfast options and everything we ordered was simple and straightforward.

This place is a hot spot for breakfast. It was super busy with a 40 minute wait while we were there. Happy we stuck around. There is road side meter parking available and only offers 2 hours at a time for $3.00. There is outside seating, but appears to only be used for waiting, although I could be wrong. When we were seated we were in a room of our own with a view of the outside. Cute little room and great idea for use of space. The specials menu is on the very back room and big enough the see looking on the window from outside. We asked our server Mario what he recommend and one thing he said was "The Big Pappa Burrito" and I was sold on it. In addition, my kids orders the Waffle with Bacon and the other Griddlecakes with a side of hashbrowns. All of which were a large portion and the price was reasonable as well. The whole experience was a great one and I love that the process is "any server can assist you". Certainly worth checking out! read more
