Best Breakfast in Phoenix · Phoenix, AZ
Matt's Big Breakfast has drawn morning lines in downtown Phoenix since 2004, when Matt and Erenia Pool opened a tiny diner devoted to doing breakfast exactly right: cage-free eggs, thick-cut bacon, griddlecakes and the Hog & Chick, all cooked to order from scratch.
A Food Network favorite and a downtown anchor, its retro room and uncompromising quality earned it the 2026 Centurion Award in Phoenix.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Matt's Big Breakfast (2026). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
