A tiny diner where the breakfasts are, indeed, big and the food focuses on simple American classics.

Dining room at Matt's Big Breakfast, Phoenix, AZThe breakfasts at this breadbox-size diner are, indeed, big. It's all part of chef-owner Matt Pool's decidedly old-school formula. He begins by using the best ingredients he can find, including cage-free eggs from humanely raised chickens and grain-fed Iowa pork. The results are airy three-egg omelets (folded with roasted peppers and melted provolone, if you like), fluffy pancakes and excellent ham and thickly sliced bacon. Because breakfast is served all day, you don't have to be an early bird to enjoy it here. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Matt's offers lunch in a similarly classic format---egg salad, tuna, a BLT and a burger, as well as Cincinnati-style chili.
