So my husband daughter and I went here on a Sunday. Little did we know that it was supposed to close only 10 minutes after we arrived. They were gracious and fed us well anyway. My husband got the double burger with fries and salad. Let's just say the man can eat a lot but was not able to finish his portion no matter how badly he wanted to. The fries were perfect and the burger was gone. My daughter got the Arizona omelet with hashbrowns and pancakes. She is not a big eater but quickly finished her omelet and one of the pancakes that was bigger than her head. She decided to take the other pancake and her hashbrowns home. I got the burrito with spinach, sour cream, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. I couldn't believe how light and fluffy the eggs were and how perfectly blended the ingredients were. The meal was fantastic. I was extremely surprised at how good the food and service was even though we came at closing time. The staff was the best and we kinda got taken care of by everyone. I am going back there again but hopefully not as a nuisance. read more

I don't get how this place can average 4 Stars. (as of today, anyway) One thing I can say for sure is that this place is NOT "The Place" to go. We sit down and the table was "dirty", covered in salt and crumbs. I had to wipe down the table myself. We order drinks and my tea comes in a "dirty" glass with lip stick on it. GROSS!!!! I look around and see food and dirty napkins on the floor. At this point, I'm thinking WE NEED TO LEAVE! However, my husband says lets just stay. Our food comes and its not good. We had lunch items. So, maybe they are known for their breakfast and that it what we should have ordered. I took two bites and was done. We spent $30, left hungry and went to another restaurant. If the place wasn't so dirty, maybe I would have gone back to try the breakfast. read more

3.5 stars. Greeters were rude, no basic acknowledgement. Server was nice and fast. $2.75 for horrible 8oz OJ from a $1.50 gallon. They can do better. Horrible eggs. Otherwise good decent food. My husband loved the fresh made biscuits and gravy. The pancakes were great. My sis-in-law loved her omlet. Would go back. Will try different items. Worth another try. :) read more

I heard about this place from my friend and so I had to try it since I never really had brunch before. This restaurant really had your typical diner vibe to it. I didn't have to wait for a table upon entering and was seated right away. I could tell the place was busy though since there were a lot of waitresses and busboys walking around. At first, I thought the service was good since they were prompt about seating us and getting our drinks but it pretty much went downhill for me after we got the drinks. Our waitress came back a second time since we weren't ready on our orders so she took my order but during that period, my friend had a phone call of which he had to take. It was his turn to order and he had attempted to try to point to his order on the menu of which I thought would have worked out fine had the waitress put in the effort. She denied his attempt at trying to convey his order and said that "there's no way I can take your order, I'll come back" in an annoyed tone. It took a while for her to come back for the order. I ordered the chicken fried steak that includes hash brown or diced potatoes, eggs, and your choice of pancakes, biscuit and gravy, tortilla, or muffin of the day. I was pretty satisfied with my meal. I thought the fried steak was good and everything else tasted like your typical American diner just like Dennys. My friend and I were done eating and the waitress had previously given us the check during our meal. We weren't slow with putting the credit card out to pay but it sure took a long time for her to notice and to start the payment. We tried to wave her down but she was no where in sight. Finally, we were able to pay and leave and as we were leaving, we passed by our waitress. I thought she was going to bid us a good day but she looked at us and turned away. Overall, I thought the food was good for its price and quantity but I was pretty unhappy with the service. I'd have to come back another time to see if this is a common thing or just caught my waitress on a bad day. read more

The Place - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

See all

The Place has great specials daily and the best breakfast... Love the fried potatoes...amazing...great staff and always crowded....for a very good reason they are awesome!!! read more

My husband and I have been eating here for years! I love the 2 eggs with hash browns and pancakes. My husband always gets the chicken fried steak. The quality, service and prices can't be beat!! read more

My least favorite breakfast place in the valley. Food is average at best. Customer service and choice is discouraged. Don't want a fatty potato option in your meal? Too bad, you can't substitute for something cheaper or pay for something more expensive. Never been to a breakfast place before this that didn't let you make it your way within reason. First time here and last time here. read more

This place was so delicious ! I had the 7oz sirloin strips with green Chile smothered all over my has browns. Hug biscuits and the gravy was so delicious. I give this place 10 starts! We will definitely be back. read more

Solid. The Place is super solid. You cant go wrong with any of the food here. The kids menu is very good, my boys love the Mickey Mouse pancakes with apples on top. The staff is always super friendly and helpful, which is especially cool when you bring two small boys and a baby! The shaved prime rib sandwich is insane. My wife always gets the same, eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce. She loves it. We all love their hot chocolate with fresh whipped cream and they give you one refill for free! Nobody does that with hot chocolate! The Place is highly recommended. Thanks for doing it right. read more

Our first time having breakfast here and our experience was excellent! Good food, good service and definitely good "Bloody Marys"!

Great portion size, and better staff. Fast, friendly, and always good! One of my favorite places to breakfast or lunch. The only downside is too many people know about it, and occasionally you have to wait. read more

Cheap, fast and tasty! I am thrilled to have a NAU staple in my hood. Greasy spoon dining at its best in NorPho. It's almost always busy and that adds to experience. My wife, son and I can leave there stuffed for under $15. We hit The Place almost every week. read more

Locally owned restaurant with a pretty extensive menu at fair prices. I love to have breakfast here as they have the best bacon ever! A little crowded on weekends so expect to wait for a table. The wait staff passes the coffee pot liberally. They offer evening specials and also have a full-service bar. Some of the waitresses are a little less than efficient, while others work hard. Just luck of the draw as to whether your experience is 4 or 5 stars. read more

Great food for a great price. We come here for the biscuits and gravy. Haven't found a place that has better.

Excellent breakfast and very friendly and fast service! I had the carne asada skillet special. The sauce was great and the eggs were cooked perfectly to order. read more

Az omelette, hash, pancakes all delicious. Food makes up for subpar interior but what do you expect from a "mom and pop" operation. They at least tried, but who cares the food was great. read more

I'm surprised that this place hasn't put all the Dennys' and iHops out of business. The food is real and fresh. Try it, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. read more

Came here on a Sunday around noonish to buy breakfast for some friends who helped me move into an apartment. The wait was very long, I guess that is to expected on a Sunday. We finally were seated, and it took a good 20 min before our order was taken. Took some time to get our food, and when it did arrive, mine was just meh. I had a call-your-own scramble/omelette thing with bacon, jalapeños, sausage and cheese. It would have been good if the eggs weren't undercooked. It came with a ton of hash browns, and some big-ass biscuits with gravy on the side. All in all, in was just meh. Portions were large enough to feed 2 people if needed. I'd be willing to give it a try again though, because I've heard good things.... read more

One of my fave places to go for brunch on the weekends. Awesome atmosphere, friendly service and excellent food. The only catch....it's pretty packed and busy on the weekends so get here really early. read more

Out standing service. We had a large group from the retirees of S.R.P. got us all in no problem. The food was good came out in good time and was hot. Everyone kept stopping by to fill drinks and coffee as well as checking on us. read more

We live out in NH and come to visit for a month or so. We found this place the last time out and made it a regular stop for breakfast and sometimes lunch. The food is good and never had a complaint. Coffee on the other hand seemed to always be strong and tasted burnt at times. Other than that was always a good place to eat. We settled the coffee issue by ordering something else and at a later time stop at DDs for a coffee. read more

I'm sorry I don't know who is reviewing these but this place was gross in my opinion. The food was cold the food was not authentic the veggie skillet was a bag of steamed vegetables from the store. Everything was gross. This is not my ideal of edible food read more

This place is huge! Expect at least a 30 minute wait. They have some classic breakfast items and then they have a few that were unique. A friend at the table ordered the chorizo quesadilla, it was incredible. The breakfast burro was awesome as well. I ordered just eggs and bacon and there was nothing special about it. That combined with the very very long wait to he seated lead to the four stars. The air conditioning is high powered in this place, so be sure and wear a sweater! read more

I ordered a steak medium rare, I got it well done. It's ok tho, accidents happen. 15-20 minute wait before checking how the food is. He asks me do I want another one? I replied No I have a dr. Appointment in 20 minutes. He says ok let me take this to my manager, then 10 minutes later she shows up with another one and says sorry babe this ones better and handed me a to go box. Reluctantly, I cut into it and this one is medium well. The server said I'll take it back again. I said no i don't have time, I really have to go. He brings me the bill and made no adjustment at all. I am 30 years old and this is the 3rd time I've ever sent something back. I don't like complaining, but to me this is unacceptable. read more

Long line to get in, but seated at bar within ten minutes. Food was excellent! Gravy on my wife's hot beef sandwich was that old-school shiny brown that we remember from days long ago. Her mashed potatoes appeared to to have been wearing peels not too long ago. Obviously NOT instant. I ordered a patty melt and was surprised a little when I was asked how I wanted it cooked. I was even more surprised when it came out precisely as I asked! My daughter-in-law commented that her chicken fried steak was served with the breading still crispy, unlike frozen maybe-meat things that are so very common elsewhere. My son commented how much he enjoyed his prime rib sandwich, but I have no specifics. Now, about our server! I'm pretty sure that lady walked five miles while we were there! Amazing attitude, and neat personality to go with it. None of us was able to get our drinks down to the halfway point. I really wish I'd gotten her name! None of us ordered alcohol, but the selection of draft beers was really tempting! Bar seemed to be very well-stocked with a great variety of neat-looking stuff in a wide range of tastes. All in all? Great food, excellent service, generous portions, and reasonable prices. read more

First time being there food was really great... service on the other hand was not so great... but I'm going to assume that it was because its a bigger place so they had to hire new serves so I'm going to let that go... couple of things... if you serve someone coffee you should ask if they need cream and or sugar. and serve with a spoon... other then the service being a Lil lousy id say its a great place... and they did have a bar...but i will return there later to see if anything has changed read more

I ate once at their old location and it was marvelous...and today we went to the new location. The wait to get seating (table of 6) was about 25 minutes, but once inside, it was perfect. It only took 15 minutes for all of us to be served and the food was amazing. We all had to roll ourselves out the door. Coffee was refilled very often. The 6 of us fit cozily into a high-back booth, but it was okay. The servers worked their butts off. Fantastic biscuits (beware, they're BIG) and gravy, and my waffle with blueberry syrup was heavenly. We went on a Saturday morning 11:00 ish. read more

Tried this place for breakfast and the portions were generous and the food seemed like it was homemade. Hard to find these days. The coffee was pretty decent too! The service was good. read more

Awesome breakfast food with some of the best biscuits and gravy in town! Unfortunately, today I tried the buffalo chicken salad with grilled chicken and I was not impressed to say the least! The chicken was dry and overall the salad was blah. I could have made a better salad at home. read more

Amazing as usual! The short rib sandwich was so good at lunch today. The tomato soup that came with it was too "smokey" but not bad. Service was great, as usual. The Place was busy. So glad you guys moved and have had even more success. read more

Love love love this place.... have been a customer of "the place" for years even before it's current location.... great breakfast ! A definite must try if you haven't yet ....be hungry you will get your money's worth !! read more

This place is excellent. We were treated very respectfully and prompt service. I would definitely recommend this to friends. Lindsay was a great waitress and very professional. We will be back soon. read more

Breakfast was great! Great big portion! Great taste! Good price! Great server! All good! Only complain is make sure to come in 30 min or so earlier for the wait seating. read more

Perfect place for a good home cooked breakfast. Portions are more than satisfying. Highly recommend the corned beef hash.

Coming early on a weekend morning can result in a little bit of a wait, but it's usually not too bad. Around noon the crowds ease up. The portions are hearty and I've never had a bad meal. If it's late enough in the morning, I order my favorite, the roast beef melt. The beef is cooked thoroughly, sliced fairly thick, and tender. Piled on sourdough with green chilies and cheddar cheese then grilled. Served with yummy, crispy french fries. I add the chipotle Tobasco to my sandwich, for a little smokey kick. My mouth is watering thinking about it, and I just had one yesterday! Their iced tea is delish...China Mist, I think. The staff is quick and friendly to top it off! read more

Best breakfast place in the valley! I used to come here all the time when I lived in Glendale. The omelets are great and the biscuits with gravy are one of the best items on the menu. Sadly I now live across town, I will never find a breakfast place in the East Valley as good as this! read more

Wow! That was a great breakfast... maybe it was the quality at a low price... maybe it was the large serving size... maybe it was the great and fast service... I'm pulling out the five stars for this one and I'll be back soon. read more

If you can manage to not order a breakfast item(very good breakfasts!!!), the burgers are huge and yummy, the "hot sandwiches" with potatoes and gravy remind you of eating at Grandma's house, and the salad is fresh! I don't think you could lose here! Biscuits? I've never seen such big biscuits! read more

Yelpers never let us down. ;) We had a special: omelet with prime rib onions green peppers cheese eggs home fries all mixed together...it was yummy! Bread was good service good and portions LARGE. OJ was 16 oz and meal was splitable IMHO. don't salt your food, it was plenty salty ;) read more
