Matt's Big Breakfast, Phoenix AZ

When I found out I was staying next to a restaurant featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, I knew I had to go and I'm glad I did. I've been to several places Guy Fieri has recommended and Matt's Big Breakfast didn't disappoint. While the inside and outside of the building may look quite plain, the food is just the opposite.

By the time I got to Matt's, it was late morning and I had a long day ahead of me, so I ordered something a little more on the hearty side, The Chop and Chick. They certainly live up to their name here, because this was a king sized meal! The name sake of this breakfast was a thick cut chop, seasoned to perfection with a hint of basil, and cooked to perfection. It came with your choice of home fries or hash browns, I went for hash browns, and two eggs cooked any way you like them (over medium, please). It also came with toast and jam, and I'm not sure if their sourdough is homemade, but it is delicious and the fresh made berry preserve, made with fresh local berries was amazing.

(sorry for the terrible picture)

After eating at Matt's, it's no wonder they were on Diners Drive-ins, and Dives, their food is amazing. The staff is fantastic and the prices are low for the amount of food you get. My meal was only $8.95 not including my coffee or the tip. My only complaint was not the restaurant or the food but the ten blocks I had to walk in 90 degree heat after eating such a big meal!

Would I go back: Yes

Overall score: A
