    Stopped here again and Todd was great! So excited to be able to order lunch at breakfast! We shared a tuna salad sandwich with chips and it was delicious! And we made the most wonderful memories with fellow travelers!

    Waited 34 min for a burrito and the other customers also waited 30 plus minutes for their food. I asked to see a manager and the reason given was their ticket system wasn't working but the front counter person was asking about our orders continuously. Once I spoke to the manager, the order came out quickly but, in an obvious attempt at retribution for me asking about my order, the cooks put an insane amount of jalapeños in my burrito. It was half the contents of the burrito. Poor experience.

    Must have pre-flight cocktail

    Located at Sky Harbor Airport, Matt's is a great place for quick pre-flight drink or meal. Service is fast and pleasurable. Accessible seating.

    BIG BREAKFAST
    Nick N.

    This was an incredible and unexpected airport diner. Maybe the best airport breakfast I have ever experienced.. seated quickly, waitress was sweet, food was excellent. Place was busy but open space. I'd highly recommend if u have a layover and u need breakfast. A+

    2-egg breakfast with the upgrade to ham steak.
    Carrie R.

    The food here was QUITE GOOD! Like, a good breakfast-- not a good airport breakfast but a genuine good breakfast! The upgrade to the ham steak was FAB! Eggs were perfect. Toast was super-tasty! The only thing that wasn't great was the service - slow to get a server, a little effort to pay. And they mostly want to cram you into high top shared seating but I get it-- they want to maximize the customers they can fit into their place. But the food was GREAT!!

    Todd, our awesome server

    Stopped in for a quick lunch while waiting for our flight. The guys working behind the counter were so friendly and jovial that it instantly made me smile. We met a couple of others also stopping in and had such a fun time. Todd, our server, was very attentive and even offered to take a photo of us with our new friends. We ordered the Tuna Sandwich with Chips and it was delicious. I couldn't ask for better at an airport stop.

    Bloody Mary

    This is the spot for a really delicious & fancy drink after a night long red eye or before take off. We also grabbed some grub to go as this places can be really busy. I like the spinach egg white omelette best. Kiddo likes his waffles & sausage. They have sit down, take out, and a bar. The service can be slow during high peak times and the ladies do a terrific job with the amount of people packed into the place. During high peak times expect long wait times this is the main eatery for this wing at the terminal.

    Matt's packed for Breakfast

    This is a good airport breakfast for sure. Busy, busy but friendly service, was seated quickly and had my drink fast. Bloody Marie was good and the breakfast was yummy. Had the Matt,s big breakfast. I'll go back for sure

    It's an airport restaurant. I work at the airport and understand it's busy, but it's always sub par. The food portions are small and overpriced. Wait staff are almost always overworked and quite "over it" If you get the steak, order it Rare, otherwise it's going to be jerky. Even then, it still might be This place is making money for sure, but it shouldn't be.

    Best Waffles

    We love their food and service so much we asked if they would do us a favor and our son's Wedding and they agreed. Matt's Big Breakfast absolutely exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal from start to finish--crispy, perfectly cooked bacon, fluffy pancakes, and golden waffles that were rich, comforting, and done just right. The strawberry preserves paired beautifully with the warm sourdough toast, adding that perfect touch of sweetness and homemade flavor that sets a great breakfast apart. What truly made this experience unforgettable, though, was the customer service. A huge shout-out to Ernie and her incredible team, who went above and beyond while preparing an exceptional catered meal for our son's wedding. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process seamless and stress free, with the additional service when food was delivered and esured the setup of food was perfect and ready to serve. Ernie and team went way above our expectations and we received many compliments on the dinner/breakfast served through out the night. Thank you Ernie/Matt's Big Breakfast

    We have a two hour layover do we decided to eat breakfast at Matt's. I ordered the skinny breakfast, which is egg whites with Chicken apple sausage and spinach and a side salad. It tasted amazing . The portion was right, not too little and not too much food. The restaurant gets busy but the service is fast.

I love that their menu points out which items are gluten-free... and our server even warned me that the plantain chips in the Edamame Hummus could have cross-contamination... so I very much appreciate that heads up!

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

The oysters are a must, the steak is cooked perfectly, and everything is plated so thoughtfully it really feels like a full experience, not just a meal. The dinner staff has also always been attentive, friendly, and on point. That said, I recently came in for brunch and had a very different experience. I'm a huge pancake person, so I was excited to try the strawberry pancakes, but they were honestly disappointing. They were soggy, lacked any fluff, and had more of a cornbread texture than a pancake. The strawberry topping also wasn't very appetizing--it seemed like it was meant to be more of a sauce, but it didn't quite work. I completely understand that higher-end restaurants like to get creative with their dishes, but I think some basics like pancakes should still be done really well. I'll definitely be back for dinner, but I'd probably skip brunch next time.

We were setup in a separate dining area from the main dining room, which allowed for better conversation without added noise. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there, which was a couple hours. The milk bread is an absolute must! It's so pillowy soft and the flaky sea salt perfectly compliments it. I ordered the Wise Decision cocktail, which was refreshing. For my entree, I had the shishito Caesar salad and was advised I could add a protein from their skewer selection of chicken, pork belly or oyster mushrooms. I asked the waitress about the chicken and she advised that they are smoked and will appear pink from that, so not to be alarmed, but are moist and really flavorful. While the filet was tempting (and what everyone else at my table ordered), I wanted something lighter. Thankfully I was not disappointed in my selection. The chicken was as delicious as described and could be cut with a fork. The Caesar salad was well dressed, but not soggy. Do I think it was worth the money to add the chicken? Not if I were paying, but since my company paid for it, I think it was worth it. This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion.

Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.
