Matt's Big Breakfast

"“Calling all fellow breakfast buds! In my opinion, the bar for serving a good breakfast is pretty low—I feel like anybody can do it, but to send it over the top, you really have to know what you're doing. Matt's has one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the game, full stop. It's called the five-spot, and it’s basically [a BEC] but cranked up to 11 with big fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy thick-cut bacon, american cheese, you know the drill. If pancakes are your jam, they make them from scratch and you can even throw some blueberries in the mix, which I absolutely do every time. Also, if you're eating breakfast without fresh squeezed OJ you're a monster, so definitely order a nice tall glass of that sweet nectar while you're there. My advice? Get there early—the line can get wild! But it’s still worth it if you have to wait, I promise!” - Jared Monaco" - jess basser sanders

"Matt’s Big Breakfast isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel, but this consistently humming breakfast spot has perfected it. They serve plates like hearty scrambles, piled-high sandwiches, griddle cakes, and thick-cut bacon all day to a walk-in-only crowd that’s mostly made up of people who get up early to shop for produce at the Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market around the corner. If there’s one place you’re going to prioritize in the city for breakfast, this is it." - lauren topor

"Open since 2004, this downtown Phoenix staple focuses on brunch fundamentals with exceptional takes on American classics like cheese omelets, griddle cakes, and steel-cut oats. Owner Matt Pool takes his job seriously, personally greeting patrons as they enter the restaurant." - Mcconnell Quinn, Jamie Killin
