East Valley fans of Matt’s Big Breakfast no longer have to drive all the way to Phoenix for their fix. Last week, the popular breakfast-and-lunch eatery quietly opened its new location north of Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe.
While the original location is well-known for its long lines, especially on weekends, the Tempe location has had no lines – and very few customers overall – so far.
The hard part is finding it, since it’s not visible from the street. From Rio Salado Parkway – about halfway between Mill and Rural – turn north into the Marina Heights/State Farm development, then go left at the end of the driveway.
The restaurant, located in Marina building #2, faces north. Look for the bright orange sign (pictured).
The good news is the Tempe location is much larger than the Phoenix original and has a patio. It features the same menu of classic, no-frills dishes.
Hours are 6:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. daily.
