One of my favorite shows is Diners Drive ins and Dives on the food channel.

The last weekend I had to take a trip to the Phoenix Library to pick up some books on tape.
I thought this would be a great time to visit Matt's Big Breakfast 801 North 1st Street Phoenix, AZ 85004 (602) 254-1074 http://www.mattsbigbreakfast.com . This diner had been featured on one of the episodes of DDD. It is a unique two room diner with four tables and a window one person counter in one room and four tables and a six person counter in the other, the tables are 24" x 24". The photos below show the sign in station, the diner the diner and the Coronado hotel. The restroom for the diner is located in the hotel go in and ask for Mike he will direct you to room 102. The wait to get into the diner after you sign the list outside averages one hour, not a place to be summer day in Phoenix. I ordered the three pancakes ($7.50) which were nothing to write home about. I usually find if the pancakes are good the rest of the menu will follow. Had to go back to Phoenix on Tuesday, tried the Big Butter Burger ($7.95) nothing special just a burger with chips . I guess maybe I am missing something as there seem to be a LOT of people waiting to get in.

Steve felt the same way...and we waited for an hour and a half...which is a huge act of love for Steve to wait because I wanted to try it.....the regular breakfast was fine....the only outstanding item was the homade bread made into toast.....it was excellent!...Not worth and hour and a half!
