The Breakfast Joynt

Who doesn’t love breakfast?! Love their Eggs Benny! So good… Omelets are amazing and pancakes are great!!! They do a great job here.

Great food and great prices. Place is located in a nice rustic plaza. Great service too!

After seeing this restaurant on Check Please AZ — PBS Life 8.1, my sister and I set out to try this place out. Why? Because they offer Eggs Benedict in several different versions — YESSSS!
Ya’ll, please listen to me, this establishment is dynamic. They ain’t playing on food, portion size, service, hospitable waitstaff, unique menu items, outstanding food, just right there for great breakfast ‘and’ lunch cuisine. You gotta do it!
I hate I forgot our server’s name but she was point on with suggestions and couldn’t do enough to keep us happy. Needless to say, we’re coming back with the entire family! Pancakes are dense with warm syrup… ya’lllllll!

Had Aunty Em’s biscuits and gravy, best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had in a restaurant! Came with eggs and a huge servings of hashbrowns. I got my eggs scrambled and they were perfect and the hashbrowns were a perfect golden brown, crispy on the outside tender in the inside The staff was very friendly and the place is clean and well kept. They have a beautiful patio area also. All around a great place and definitely one of the best breakfasts in the valley! I’ll be back for sure!

Food was pretty good. Service not so much. Wasn’t even finished ordering my breakfast and the waitress snatched up my menu and walked away, was too dumbfounded to even ask her to come back. And to top it off… There was a guy behind the counter with a cigarette behind his ear working. No thanks, won’t be returning.

Amazing food and great service! Would recommend to anyone who works or lives by to eat at this place at least one or twice a week! Delivery time is super fast!

We come here usually every week and food is always good. Always consistent. I usually get The Basic but decided to venture out and try the waffle. I’m happy I did! Waffle not heavy and a slight sweetness to it. Soooo good! Now I’m in the dilemma on which item to order. Tummy very happy!

We had breakfast here after hiking Gateway. Most of us orders the Basic and the kids were able to substitute with chocolate chip pancakes. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The bacon was cooked perfect! We will definitely return to try some other dishes.

One of best breakfast places in scottsdale. Great staff and most of all awsome food! I always get the egg white omlete with the grilled chicken breast.

They served imitation maple syrup with the waffle that had absolutely no flavor and barely a sweet taste. It is a rare occurrence when a waffle is not entirely consumed while we dine. In this case, we barely ate half. No point, unless it tastes good.
An up charge of $ 1.50 for real maple syrup? Why don’t you work that into the price of the meal? Considering the area, you’d think that would be the case.
No desire to go back.

Yummy yummy in my tummy! Had the breakfast burrito and it blew my mind. Best burrito I’ve had in a long time. Fried chicken and waffles was good too. I may skip this next time but def will be getting something with waffles!!!

Went a few years ago and was left unimpressed; gave it another go and left again, unimpressed. It was nothing amazing, rather a little less than ordinary as my hash browns came out burnt and toast lacking a good amount of butter. As said, plain but satisfactory in the moment of convenience.

We are visiting from California and stopped here for breakfast. It was well worth the 20 minute wait. All the food was just better than the average breakfast spot. I don’t usually write reviews, but I enjoyed my breakfast so much I thought I would share.
I had the breakfast burrito. I added hash browns inside the burrito. It was so good– just the right amount of green chile. I also had whole wheat toast which was some of the best toast I’ve ever had– the bread was slightly chewy and very fresh.
My friend said her omelet was cooked perfectly. And my brother got the chicken and waffles which ended up being a huge pile of delicious fried chicken with some well made waffles. The siriacha maple syrup was also very tasty and unique.
I would recommend this place if you want some typical breakfast food that is better than average.

Awesome spot for breakfast with all homemade goodies. Plus they have incredible lunch as well which is very underrated. Have had the breakfast fried chicken topped with a delicious sausage gravy two eggs, hash browns and toast, which was amazing. Today had the Joynt burger (sirloin and brisket mix) which is topped with a fried egg, bacon and cheese. Delicious. Check this place out. It also has a Chicago theme to it.

Been a while since I tried a new breakfast place, and The Breakfast Joynt was a winner in my eyes! Super friendly people working there, good quality food, and a nice atmosphere!
It was a nice day so we sat outside, a family friend who I went with was able to bring her dog on the patio which was awesome! I didn’t see the inside because we were sitting outside, but it was cute outside! Was a bit hard to find in the complex, but not too bad.
Took a bit for us to have our order taken, but not too bad. I went for the build your own omelet, with broccoli, red pepper, and spinach. I was happy about all of the options of veggies provided! They had all of my favorites, it was hard to choose. I also was happy to see I could get pancakes on the side instead of toast, I was in need of something sweet but don’t like ordering just pancakes. The omelet came out pretty fast and it was good! Was in like a frittata shape, I liked it. The hash browns were pretty good but I would’ve preferred them to be crispier. The pancakes were ok, The flavor wasn’t like amazing but I liked them. Pretty average prices, but good food and environment!

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had. We agreed to sit at the bar which looking back was a huge mistake. The server approached us by asking what we wanted and taking our food and drink orders all at once. Fortunately the water glasses were big because nobody returned for a refill.
My food came out incorrectly and we were missing silverware. We grabbed someone else’s attention and he dropped silverware off. Nobody ever came by to check on us. During the entire meal. There was a place for the servers to have drinks close by so we saw multiple severs stop by for their own drinks but nobody talked or looked at us.
Finally someone came by (again not our server) to grab our plates. I let him know parts of my meal were incorrect and if he could let the server know. I watched as he went and told her. About 7 minutes went by before she returned with the bill. She said «I took the missing fruit off the bill» and left. It was literally the worst service I’ve experienced and I wouldn’t return or recommend this place.

4-​star review, and I highlight the below comment by saying that I will definitely go back.
On my first visit here, I had the Bruce’s Bowl, which I would recommend. It was slightly on the undercooked side– the onions were crispier than I’d have liked. The reason I cannot give it 5 stars is the portion. It is generous and healthily portioned with a small bowl filled to the brim, and I was full leaving there nevertheless. However, it isn’t quite what I look for when I go out to eat Breakfast/​brunch. Maybe it’s an American thing, but I love to get a giant serving of breakfast when I go out to eat! I’d rather pay a couple more bucks per dish to make that happen. Bruce’s Bowl was very affordable at $ 9-​ish, but this is literally right next to Fleming’s Steakhouse, so I would say that they would be better off charging $ 11 or $ 12 and giving more food.

Excellent breakfast with great service. The red velvet waffle is a delicious surprise!

Good menu, but a bit pricey. Food took a while to show up and was not hot. We had to track down the server to get our change. Not coming back.

Visiting and needed real breakfast food. Good stop on way to auction. Very nice area next to Fleming’s. A little hard to find but we found it.

Inexpensive yet quality breakfast. There is many options in this northern part of scottsdale however some of the other options can take awhile to get seated. I don’t know if it was luck or just picked the proper time to go but we were in and out in no time. Food was cooked great and our server couldn’t have done a better job. If I had any negative remarks about the place it would have been trying to get the gentleman behind the counter to make an effort of turning one of the two tv’s off talking heads sports talk on ESPN to the Liverpool/​Manchester United match. He just told me they don’t get that channel and stood there, I could have implied that he was an idiot and that if they get espn they sure as hell get NBC. But I’m not one to get into pissing contests so I went back and ate my delicious breakfast and was on my way.

My husband and I love this place. The food is good, for the price you pay, and the staff is always super friendly. What earns an A++ in my book is that they are DOG FRIENDLY, they even bring a water bowl out for your pooch. We are always seated right away and get our food before you know it. Today, from the time we were seated to receiving our food was only 10 minutes (we had an easy order). We have never waited long. If your looking for a quick and inexpensive breakfast, this is the place to go.

We have found our breakfast spot! Relaxed, friendly, and delicious. Thank you!

Great breakfast and super nice staff at a reasonable price. My go to breakfast joint now. What I did there, do you see it?

Wanted to have breakfast for lunch with a coworker and tried this place. The eggs Benny joint style were delicious. The prior comments about the ham off the bone are spot on. Perhaps the best ham I’ve ever had for breakfast anyway. My only mistake was getting the hash browns double crispy upon recommendation of the waitress. The were the equivalent of those old snacks shoestring potatoes, but my friends looked absolutely perfect. I will definitely go back!

Wow, we were in this area driving thru.. Stopped for a spit of breakfast. This place is awesome!
I had the daily special of (Cali scramble). It was eggs, avocado, tomatoes and pepper jack cheese all scrambled together then placed on a bed of hashbrowns. I asked for extra crispy browns and they were perfect. The coffee was good. The service was friendly and fast. Verry attentive but not hovering. I highly recommend this place! !!

Great food and service. Had the eggs Benedict and basic breakfast. Atmosphere was quaint and Chicago. Learned later the owner is from Chicago. Reasonable price and menu selections were a variety. Will definitely come back.

Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. The Swedish pancakes were tasty and he turkey sausage was full of flavor. .although a little spicy. They did forget one person’s bacon, so, you do have to remind the wait staff sometimes, as suggested in earlier posts

Great breakfast!
Waffle was awesome.
Swedish pancakes were very tasty.
Omelete and hash browns were perfect.
Vincent was a wonderful server.
Just visiting for the weekend, but planning to go back… well worth another trip!

So yummy! Finally a place that has waffles, pancakes, crepes and Swedish pancakes. I got the Swedish pancakes with the Kids Pick 1 egg meal that came with toast and hash browns and 2 pieces of bacon. Delicious!!! My bf got the Bruce dish and it was amazing !!! (It’s like the spuds deluxe from Snooze but way better)
I can’t wait to go back! Great service and a nice atmosphere.

I have now been to The Breakfast Joynt two times (in just one week). The first time was right at opening (7:00a) on a weekday. I was one of only two or three patrons there. The second time was this morning — a Saturday at around 10:00a.
VISIT #1
During my first visit, I was helped by Susie — a super sweet and surprisingly chipper (considering the time of day!) server who made my time there very enjoyable. Susie was incredibly attentive (without being intrusive) and excited to gage my reactions to the food. She even brought me a taster of the sourdough toast free-​of-​charge because it’s her favorite and she wanted me to try some! (YUM!)
When I got up to leave, Susie was busy helping another guest, so I intended to make a quiet exit. She caught me walking out the door, though, and called out, «Goodbye Tim!» It made me laugh and felt really good. I was super impressed by her.
The food itself was outstanding. I ordered the Breakfast Fried Chicken. It came set over a bed of hash browns with homemade sausage gravy and eggs however-​you-​take-​them and a side of your choice (English muffins for me!). I also ordered coffee, which was topped off frequently by my new friend, Susie.
VISIT #2
During my second visit, I was helped by Joel. It was a beautiful morning and I was originally seated at the bar but, upon noticing outdoor seating out back, I requested to migrate and was told, «No problem!». Joel found me a table all to myself despite how busy they were and remained very attentive throughout my stay. (He must have trained under Susie, or vice versa!)
This time I ordered the Homestyle Biscuits & Gravy at Joel’s recommendation and couldn’t have possibly made a better choice. The meal was equally as delicious as my first. Joel also kept my coffee mug filled with hot coffee and even made a point of making light conversation over the book I had with me, which was fun.
CONCLUSION
The Breakfast Joynt is just close enough to my current abode to qualify as a regular go-​to. I love everything about this place and have been excited to review it. Everyone here works very hard to make you feel right at home. They take their jobs seriously and care about the brand they represent.
The food is ON POINT. Delicious morning fare — easily registering in my top favorites for breakfast. I’ll be back for sure, and often! If you’ve never been, I can’t possibly recommend The Breakfast Joynt highly enough. Find the time to go for a visit — you won’t be disappointed!
*Susie and Joel and the rest of you over there: THANK you for being so awesome. You’re some really special people. I’ll look forward to seeing you again very soon.

Definitely worth stopping in. I love the tucked back location in DC Market. We went on a Saturday and it was packed. The prices and food quality were great and our waitress did an excellent job of moving the meal along at a good pace. This is basic diner fare but being able to eat an affordable quality breakfast up in North Scottsdale is a welcomed addition. Its also great taking a drive through the hills after a nice meal!

Wonderful new find! My family of four were all happy with our meals; including my husband who ordered his meal with a side of biscuits and gravy (and he is very picky with these!). The diner style setting was cute and the outdoor seating area was quaint in a sophisticated way. We received great service and my husband enjoyed that he could watch the football game this morning without it being an overbearing portion of our breakfast.

Small restaurant in the shopping plaza on the corner of Thompson Peak Parkway and Pima, not easy to find but worth seeking out.
Order the Build Your Own Omelette with Hash Browns and Pancakes with is an insane amount of food,
The thing about their omelette is you can order an huge variety of ingredients in your omelette and not limited to a few things. I had bacon, sausage, turkey, ham, chorizo, mushrooms, asparagus, and provolone cheese. This also came with fresh grated hash browns and 2 pancakes. The Hash Browns were coke perfectly and the pancakes were thick and fluffy. I also liked the fact that they give you a big bottle of syrup so you can drown the pancakes in syrup if you choose rather than some places that give you a small little dipping container.
2 Egg White Breakfast and the Pasta with Chicken was good but the pasta was on the dry side.
If you come here order an Omelette

Hands down the best Crab Benedict I’ve had in a LOOONG TIME! Not to mention the fresh OJ and the service! All are impeccable! I’m a pilot so I have to travel a lot and this place is OVER THE TOP!
WELL DONE!!!

After reading the reviews I decided to try a new Breakfast spot in Scottsdale, well actually all the way out in DC Ranch. Here’s how my experience went.
1. Staff — 5 Stars — Very friendly and acknowledged me right away. Also was thanked several times on my way out.
2. Ambiance — 4 Stars — The place was very clean and what you would expect, but nothing more.
3. Service — 3 Stars — Do you see a pattern forming? The server should never have brought me the burnt toast. Additionally, not her fault but the kitchen was slow as they only had 3 or 4 tables. Not busy.
4. Food — 1 Star — I ordered an Omelet with Chorizo, Green Chiles, Onions, and Cheese. What I got was something in between a soufflé and a Frittata. It was like they scrambled everything together including the cheese and then let it set. It was probably finished off in the salamander. It was not folded. It was also bland. The Hash Browns were old. You know how they get when they have been sitting on the grill too long, kind of flat and instead of crispy they were tough. As mentioned before, me toast was burnt.
I am not one to complain, nor did I have the time to wait for it to be made over. I will vote with my wallet this time and I won’t be back. Too far a drive to take the chance of disappointment again. If this was my place, the server has the responsibility to not accept the food from the cook if it is not up to standards. This was both the kitchen and the server. Sorry :-(

Great, really great breakfast place. We have come many time since they opened but have recently been twice in a week. My wife’s loves the eggs bunny. She says they are 4.5÷5. I usually go low carb and they have this great dish that is eggs ham off the bone bacon and green peppers called the benniebowl. I skip the potatoes and add han chilli. ⁵⁄₅!
Coffee is good not great however but since I don’t drink it np for me. The place was packed on Sat at 10am but we sat at the bar and had our food in like 5 minutes after ordering. They really know what they are doing here. Service was amazing. ⁵⁄₅!
We will return often!
