Matt’s Big Breakfast coming to downtown Tempe in 2016

Matt’s Big Breakfast, one of the most popular restaurants in downtown Phoenix, is coming to downtown Tempe in 2016.

The breakfast-and-lunch restaurant plans to open at Marina Heights, a five-building lakeside complex on Rio Salado Parkway just east of Mill Avenue, in October, according to the Phoenix Business Journal.

It will be the fourth location for Matt Pool’s casual eatery, which also can be found at Sky Harbor and is in the process of opening at 32nd Street and Camelback in Phoenix.

Despite its boxy appearance and no-frills decor, MBB typically draws long lines, especially on weekends, for its simple menu of nine breakfast items and eight lunch items.

The original downtown Phoenix location opened in 2004.
