Love the pulpy orange juice, appreciate the coffee carafe.
Ordered the chicken-fried steak and eggs, with a biscuit and side of gravy.
Steak was a tad bit tough, probably the cut rather than the cooking. Gravy was very good, excellent texture and mouth feel, good flavor. Biscuit was great, eggs were well prepared.
Free WiFi is nice.
The location dictates I'm not likely to return, but it was nice. -

We had a groupon and tried to go few weeks ago. The wait turned us back. This time, we arrived before 9am on sat. Was busy but they sat us w/in minutes.
The waiter was polite although busy.
Little long on the wait for food but it was busy.
We each got the eggs,pancakes, Bacon so it wasn't a dish u can really mess up. Good yet not fantastic.
Overall decent place yet not sure if will go back. Our dish was less than $7 yet most of the prices ranged from $8-12. -

Don't bother buying the groupon for this place. I'm going to bullet point because I could rant for paragraphs.
* Ordered the "special of the day - Apple French Toast" it was dry, unappetizing, and had 2 limp apple slices saturated in cinnamon on top. It was a sea of brown.
*Eggs were soggy and only hot sauce made it edible.
*Bacon was the best thing on my plate and cooked right.
*Eggs Benedict had tasteless hollandaise sauce and I could have made a better version at home.
*As people left the waitress kept telling them she hopes they come back: ergo she knows the food was bad and shouldn't.
*My groupon had expired and I was just trying to use the cash value of it (like the fine print said I could) and the waitress actually TOOK MY CELL PHONE WITH HER INTO THE BACK OF THE RESTAURANT WITHOUT ASKING ME instead of getting the manager to come out and look at the groupon where we were seated. When she did return she lectured me that next time they wouldn't take it except on family meals like the groupon was intended for. I didn't want to use the full $45 value, I wanted to use the $22 I had paid for it on our bill of $21.65. I almost told her don't worry, because there will NEVER be a next time. -

Been seeing Groupons for this place and wanted to try it for awhile. First time I attempted to go, the outdoor area had a lot of people so I figured it was a great place to eat! Hmmm. What a disappointment....
When we came in, it was not crowded at all. We sat down and our order taken by a friendly server. Good menu choices. However, maybe 20 minutes later, our food had not arrived yet. I noticed that everyone's order around us had not arrived yet either. Finally the lady next to use got her food, complained that she waited this long for a very small portion of quiche, the server apologized and left and the lady was so upset, she left thereafter!
Our server came & apologized for the food delay after waiting for 30 minutes! He said the food inspector was in the kitchen. Ten minutes later, all the tables were served and we were still waiting. Finally our food came and my omelet was watery, hash browns too dry and no butter or syrup for my pancakes. I asked another server for the syrup & pancakes but she didn't bring them right away and I had to ask again!
When she finally brought them over, the butter was melted, liquid like....
In all fairness, the servers were all nice. Seems like a family ran restaurant which is the type I like to patronize. However, they need to improve their service. Our server never came back, I had to ask for our check from the lady server and then was overcharged. She corrected it.
When we finally left, we had been there for more than an hour. I felt like I was in a zone... All we wanted was a nice relaxing breakfast. Hmmm... Sorry peeps but no good recommendation for this place. -

I originally went to Breakfast Joynt when I moved to the neighborhood and I am always looking for a good breakfast place.
The place is on the smaller side for its location and it can get crowded. I have had to wait 45 minutes to be seated on a weekday!
The selection is moderate, from your regular breakfast staples, like steak and eggs to the build your own omelet, which you can have as many toppings as you like at no additional charge, which is nice.
The Biscuits and Gravy and Chicken fried Chicken are amazing, some of the best I've ever had.
The portion size are moderate, which is nice to not be served enough food for a small village for one.
The service, while extremely nice, can be VERY slow. This place is more leisurely when it comes to service so do not go here if you are in a time crunch.
The prices are good, especially with the Groupon promotions they run pretty regularly and they have this "Belly" app that you "check in" and earn points towards a free meal which is also a bonus.
While there seems to be a plethora of breakfast establishments none that are locally owned, operated and serve the food made to order, which is a nice change at the Breakfast Joynt.
There is seating outside, which is nice and they also offer wi-fi, which is a bonus.
The decor is a bit odd, with Chicago skylines, Bears and Vikings and Packers paraphernalia about the place. There is also one TV that only half of the restaurant can view as the other half has its back to it. -

I've been here a few times for breakfast and have to say that the food is ok, but nothing to rave about to the neigbors. I usually get the omlete with onions, green peppers and ham (Denver Omlete).
Lunch is not the greatest either. I had the monte cristo last time I was here and it pales in comparison to other monte cristo sandwiches I have had locally (Blue32).
I would rate the breakfast side about 3 1/2 stars and the lunch side of the business 2 1/2 stars so the Breakfast Joynt gets an average score of 3 out of 5 stars in my opinion. -

Agree with others that the service here can be spotty. We've had both good and bad meals here as well. There is not a lot of competition in the immediate area so this place probably gets a wider room for error than most. Overall I'd say you get a pretty good value eating here and the casual atmosphere on the patio is enjoyable, but if they don't start delivering a more consistent experience it will be just another business to revolve through this building.

I had been to the Breakfast Joynt once several years ago. It was not terribly memorable but there was a really great Groupon available on this particular day and the lunchtime crew and I were in the mood to eat out. On the surface the Joynt seemed like it would meet all our lunch time needs. Close proximity to the office-check. Breakfast and standard lunch fair-check. Good pricing (especially with the Groupon)-check and check. After much deliberation with my lunchtime crew we headed over.
As soon as we entered we were greeted by a friendly gentlemen and we selected a table.The atmosphere is nice and relaxing, though the decor is a bit confusing (Chicago memorabilia plus Packers and Vikings stuff?) I chose the egg salad sandwich and we all ordered. That's when things went downhill. Though our waitress was generally friendly, service was incredibly slow. So slow, in fact, that we overheard the table next to ours complaining about the same thing. Suddenly our "quick" lunch break turned into something much less quick.
Once our food arrived we were all generally pleased. The food was tasty. However it had taken so long to arrive that we immediately asked for our check and fumbled for our wallets with one hand while eating with the other.
Overall the food was fine, but the super slow service makes me wonder if this isn't a better place to phone in a to go order, rather than dining in. Maybe we will hit this place up again when we are in the mood for a lunch hour that is a bit more leisurely in it's pace.
PS-Avoid the ranch dressing. It will not meet your french fry dipping needs! -

We received some free entree coupons in our office the other day and decided to give this place a shot. I had the biscuits and gravy combo with hash browns and they were great. The hash browns were obviously made from fresh cut potatoes, the biscuits were definitely not from a box and the gravy was excellent. The lemonade is dead on, not too sweet and not too sour.
Our server was very friendly and helpful when it came time to providing suggestions. The general atmosphere was pleasant and inviting.
Those who put this place on par with Denny's or IHOP obviously haven't been to either in a while. The food is much better, the dining area more pleasant, and the prices right on point.
We will definitely be coming back here to fill the breakfast for lunch cravings instead of the IHOP just down the road. -

French toast was gummy--pancakes heavy. Took them 30 minutes to take our order once we were seated, another 30 waiting for our check after we'd finished, and another 15 minutes passed before my husband got fed up and had to go get his change! Jeez. The staff WAS friendly but I'd prefer good food and efficient service.

I only had the waffles and egg combo and it wasn't anything special. It was on par with a Dennys or an I-Hop. The ambiance of the place is real nice and the servers are friendly.
Maybe if I tried something else I'll be blown away, but for now, it's two stars ("I've experienced better") for me. -

What kills this place is certainly not the food...its the service!!
Waited 10 minutes to even be approached by my waitress. I actually had to get up and ask the host for our drink order, which he didn't get because he was texting on his cell phone. The table to our left arrived after us and got their food, drinks and check before we even got our food.
Breakfast was great, it always is...but the service is horribly slow and made me ask myself several times if I was on some sort of prank show because I just can't believe this is acceptable/normal.
The manager was even walking around asking customers how everything was going, but convenietly forgot to ask our table.
Maybe next time I'll order it to go? -

I live close by so I keep coming back but this may be my last time. The food is really good - the service however is slow and disorganized. It was 25 min after I ordered when I asked when it might be ready. The people sitting around me were having the same issue - very disappointing!

I had the "angus" chicken fried steak, eggs, toast, and hashbrowns for breakfast today. Meh. The eggs were cooked right. That was it. The hashbrowns were undercooked and almost raw in someplaces, the chicken fried steak tasted like it was fried in grease that has been used for 4 weeks straight. The toast was big and soggy and only lightly toasted on one side. I won't be back.

Looks like the reviews are averaging to a 3.5 for this place which seems spot on to me. Yummy little breakfast place tucked into a boring Scottsdale strip mall. There is a Gold's Gym next door so if you sit on the patio you get a lot of interesting cross traffic...
As to the food, it's really really good. My wife has been a few times and raves about it. I tried it today and had the eggs benedict. They were perfectly done and I loved them. The side of hash browns was small and disappointing. Their coffee was good, they don't do a latte and don't take Amex. Service was excellent. We'll be back, for a breakfast place it was superb. -

Friendly servers, quick seating on the weekends (with the option to sit outside), and very fast service. Different servers checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was taken care of. My only real complaint was the coffee was not piping hot and just so-so... but other than that, a good option for standard American breakfast.

Breakfast Joynt and I got off on the wrong foot when I was forced to wait 15 minutes for coffee. I get it, it's Sunday morning and the waitress had a lot of balls (or waffles) in the air but under no circumstance should a breakfast customer wait 15 minutes for coffee. It's just unacceptable. It's an even worse business strategy to make ME wait 15 minutes for coffee when I'm hungry. I'm a real bear that way.
BUT, once the coffee pot landed and we got our orders in the food came out very fast and it was amazing. Probably the best eggs Benedict I've had in years. I ordered them California-style with avocado and bacon. The avocado was ripe and the bacon was crisp. Eggs were poached to perfection and I was given just the right amount of Hollandaise. As a bonus, Breakfast Joynt weaves caramelized onion into their hashbrowns. Big league move, that is.
I'm strongly considering making the Breakfast Joynt a post-church Sunday staple. -

Sorry to say Sunday breakfast wasn't as good as my other experiences. The host did a great job managing the crowd and got us seated quickly and our waiter was super nice. However, it took almost a half hour to get our food with no updates from the waiter. My usual pancakes were good, but the teeny-tiny packets of butter became really annoying when I went through all (about) 10 they gave me and still needed more butter. The swedish pancakes at the table were deemed flavorless. For whatever reason, the $3.99 side of bacon consisted of 3 pieces that were horribly shriveled to about 3/4" x 5". That's over $1 per disappointing slice. Eh-they were really nice, so I'll give them one more chance.

Although my previous experiences were 5 star experiences, lately, the Breakfast Joynt has been disappointing. Very disappointing...
Today's breakfast broke the camel's back, so to speak: for the second time I had to send my eggs back due to improper cooking, and pretty much everything on my plate was below average.
In addition, although very nice, the wait staff was largely hanging out in back, and not in the front of the house checking on the few customers that were dining.
I know this establishment is capable of doing better. I've tasted it. Whether there is someone new in the kitchen, or they're simply not paying attention, it shows a slip in their food, and let's face it, if it's not right and tasty, there are dozens of other places to go for breakfast.
My ham today tasted as though it had fallen into the syrup today and it wasn't that yummy brown sugar type of sweet that you would expect on ham.
In addition, our hash browns were largely uncooked, but flash burned on the grill.
English muffins that weren't toasted nearly enough, and eggs cooked incorrectly.
I'm disappointed in the Breakfast Joynt. Hopefully, they'll clean up their act. Until then, I'm returning to Chompies for breakfast, where I know that I'll get great food consistently...2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

We came in for a late breakfast and left highly disappointed. I wish we'd have gone to one of our tried and true breakfast spots, instead.
It was packed inside and uncomfortably warm and stuffy. I ordered the California Benedict and some fresh orange juice. The OJ tasted suspiciously like Sunny D. The Eggs Benedict looked good, but the English muffin they sat on was as hard as a rock. My knife couldn't even cut through them. In the process of violently sawing at the English muffin, the avocado, bacon and eggs became a mess all over the plate. When I decided to forgo the muffin altogether, I found that the eggs were extremely salty and to top it off, the hash browns were not warm. I will not be coming back. -

Like many people, breakfast is my favorite meal. I've been to many of the seemingly limitless choices of breakfast restaurants throughout the valley and I have never had an experience that would deter me from a repeat visit...until today.
First, a recommendation. Turn on the AC when it's 100 degrees outside! My girlfriend and I felt like we were in a sauna. Uncomfortable to say the least. Wondering what temp they keep the thermostat at led us to look at the air vents. Wow, caked on dust/dirt that was pitch black in color. I immediately wondered how much of that makes its way on to the customer's plate?
On to the food. I ordered an egg white omelette with broccoli and asparagus. I receive my omelette without broccoli. Their solution to this gaffe, you ask? A bowl of steamed broccoli...such a weird solution I didn't even say anything. And to make it worse, nobody seemed to care about it! No apology, nada, zip....
Server was sweet and nice but everything else was so bad that my only recommendation is to drive another mile down the road and get your eggs somewhere else. -

I was really excited to give this place a try after getting a groupon. The staff was friendly, the place was packed, and the food was good.
I will be willing to eat at this restaurant again, but as of now, not my favorite breakfast place. I had the chicken fried steak and it was just so-so. Not the best, but not the worst. Overall though, seems like a good place and I will try it again sometime. -

Best homemade corned beef hash I've tasted in Phoenix! =)
Visited this place as we were in the area and had groupon for it. Hubbie and I shared, as we always try to do, a special on that day that includes homemade corned beef, whole wheat pancakes, eggs, sausage and hash brown. Pretty good serving for us and we came out full. The best part of the combo was the corned beef, very tasty! If I come back, I will definitely have corned beef again! =) It was pretty busy at 930ish, service was fast and good. Since we have a groupon for this, we only paid the tax and tip which was a good deal!
Nice breakfast place tucked in this complex where you can quietly meet with friends and families for a nice breakfast. Will absolutely try this place again! =) -

I was excited about trying a new, local breakfast place, and I have to say the Breakfast Joynt didn't disappoint. There was a bit of a wait when we got there, but it moved really quickly and the server and hostess were both extremely friendly! I had fresh squeezed OJ (so delicious) and their California Benedict. The hash browns were pretty good, and the benny was very tasty, except 1 of the eggs was overcooked. The other one was perfectly poached and deliciously runny. Their hollandaise is homemade and the bacon was amazing. The fiance got chicken fried steak and i could stop stealing little bites. the gravy was to die for!
For a local "dive" it was really good, though they did seem a little unorganized and i really do hate it when the eggs in your benedict are overcooked. For that, i have to dock a star. -

I've been here three times. I keep trying to be satisfied, but I always seem to be disappointed. Maybe in the winter when it's cool enough for the patio, I can bring my dog and it might be redeemed a bit.
Food is average. Omelets are thin and meh. Biscuits and gravy are good. Coffee is fine. Service is sketchy. I've had great and I've had horrible. -

I've eaten at the Breakfast Joynt three times so far, take out once and dine in twice.
The restaurant itself reminded me of a diner, tables in the middle and booth seats with tables around the edge. Outdoor seating for when it's not outrageously hot outside. You seat yourself which I don't love but I'm a fool for delicious food so I can live with self-seating.
Take out dishes: California benedict (husband), multigrain waffle for me, we both had bacon and hash browns. He LOVED the benedict. The eggs traveled surprisingly well, still runny enough for him when he got back to the house. My waffle wasn't super hot but this is always my experience with take out waffles. A quick trip to the toaster oven and I was back in business. I must say, I was concerned because multigrain seems to = sickly sweet in many places...not so here, it was delicious! Bacon was awesome (I always order bacon extra well done), what a flavor! Hash browns were delicious as well.
Dine in dishes: California benedict (husband) on both trips despite the fact he swore he was going to try the benedict with sausage on the second trip. I had the pancakes and then the BLT. Benedict was loved both times. I thought the pancakes were excellent. The BLT was off the hook. Big thick slices of whole wheat, loaded with their delicious bacon (extra well done) and crinkle cut fries. Each time they brought a big carafe of coffee and we also enjoyed a freshly squeezed glass of grapefruit juice.
I like the fact that they have several side options with the BLT though they had me at crinkle cut fries.
They do not take American Express which is weird but not the end of the world. Our server was friendly, almost too friendly but that's just me. -

I COME HERE **WAY** TO OFTEN!!!
I always ALWAYS get the same thing EVERYTIME (sad I know)... but it's the 3 Egg Build Your Own Omelet with EVERYTHING in it! I love it because it like having 20 different omelet taste experiences all at once!!! One bite your get a mouth full of bacon, the next broccoli, the next chorizzo, etc, etc. The omelets are HUGE! The potato's on the side are great, as is the pancakes.
Before you go here.... shop around on http://Restaurant.com, LocalDines, Groupon, etc.... there are ALWAYS coupons for the Breakfast Joynt!
Most of the servers have been there a while, and you get that certain "regular" feel that makes you feel at home.... you know when that happens when your server knows exactly how you like your eggs cooked... and can convey that to the cook!
There is an iHop literally a block away.... but as far as comparisons... its a world apart!
Support your local business!!! Nuff Said! See you at the Joynt!Listed in: Best Places To Get Work Done…

Boyfriend and I decided to go out for breakfast this lovely Saturday morning and we decided on The Breakfast Joynt because boyfriend bought a Groupon.
The Joynt was a bit hard to find, as it is tucked into a shopping center, but my guess as to where it might be ended up being correct. (Maybe there was a sign near Northsight or Raintree, but I didn't see it.)
When bf and I walked into the Joynt, no one greeted us. I didn't see a sign stating that guests should seat themselves, so boyfriend and I pretended to be cool and read the whiteboard of specials until a kid about the age of 14 picked up some menus and pointed to an empty table. Yay for nonverbal communication? I completely agree with Jay F.-- the Joynt needs a sign stating to seat yourself or a greeter.
When seated, a somewhat cheery waitress came and asked for our drinks. Boyfriend and I both ordered the fresh squeezed OJ. (I read on Yelp that the OJ was great, so I decided to try it.) The OJ came in a small glass and had absolutely no pulp. It tasted like some Minute Maid product that rolled out of a vending machine. Definitely not worth the $2.99 price tag. The waitress (no clue what her name is because she didn't tell us) asked for our food orders, but boyfriend and I weren't ready, so she left and didn't come back for a good 5-7 minutes.
I ordered the waffle and two eggs (scrambled) and boyfriend had the California Benedict and sausage. I disliked my breakfast. The eggs tasted like military powdered eggs that you add water to while in a combat zone. (Those Ready to Eat Meals with the 25 year shelf life.) The waffle was tough and chewy, akin to eating rubber. I wish I could have said something to my waitress but she didn't come back until after the bus boy took away the plates-- not even a stop five minutes into the meal to see if we needed anything, thus no proof of the awful meal.
However, boyfriend really liked his meal. He liked that the sausages weren't prepackaged rounds, but rather looked as if the cook formed the patties in the kitchen. His poached eggs were cooked perfectly and boyfriend really liked the avocado and tomato on his Benedict.
The Groupon was the best part, but I agree with other two-star reviews like that of Tori B., Daniel E., Ron R., Jay F., and J. S.: "Meh. I've experienced better."
TL;DR Nothing special and not worth the hype or the price. -

Went to the Breakfast Joynt today for breakfast and we weren't too thrilled. The service wasn't great, but I am sure it was due to how busy it was. For how crowded it was, it was just a typical breakfast. I had an egg, bacon, hash browns, and an english muffin. My husband had the pancakes and so did my Grandma.
Nothing special and not worth the hype. If you're looking for a standard breakfast served hot, this is a good place; but if you are looking for quicker service and something different, I would go somewhere else. -

Their food always tastes homemade and the omelets are fantastic. I would definitely recommend the biscuits and gravy as well.
I've read some comments on here about the service, but we have been there over a dozen times and never have had a bad experience. It does get really busy on the weekends but as long as you're patient and you don't go into there expecting McDonald's like speed, you shouldn't be let down. -

I really want to like this place, since it's convenient, comfortable, and well-priced. I keep trying it about every 3 months to see if it's gotten any better, and it hasn't. I might just wait to see what the next restaurant in this space is going to be.
The food is decent, if not memorable, but the service...oh my. I get the feeling this is what a breakfast place would be like if my buddies and I ran it (we're idiots). You can't take 45 minutes to eat an omelet on a weekday morning! There were maybe 5 tables occupied, and nobody was getting out of there fast. Maybe I'm just unlucky here. There's nothing wrong with the food, but if you go, make it on a leisurely weekend. -

This place is horrible. My bf and I stopped here because we had a groupon but it wasn't worth it. We watched as other people got seated before us even though our name was on the list. It took about 10-15 mins to get waited on and then almost an hour to get our food. Our waitress didn't stop to check on us once or apologize for the wait. The people next to us were being completely ignored by their waitress and waited an hour for food as well. It took forever as well to get the check. Maybe they should be better prepared for a Saturday morning. You couldn't pay me to come back here.

Recommend by a friend, greeted by the owner as we walked into the place and it seemed a little busy.... all good signs. We had a party of seven so it took about 15 minutes to get a table. I should have known better than try to do breakfast before our soccer game.
There was a huge bday party that was in there, and our waitress got triple sat. Unfortunately, this means breakfast took forever to arrive even though we ordered the minute we sat down. Service was nice but not real fast or efficient. Food was the highlight of the visit, but I am not sure how great it is b/c we inhaled it to get to the game.
We may give it another try... maybe. -

Breakfast Joynt deserves a quick review just because my experience yesterday was slightly different than another review I read here. I had the blueberry pancakes, and in addition to blueberries on top, there were ample blueberries in the pancake itself. Just the way I like it and delicious. Next time I go there it'll be tough to decide between having those pancakes again and trying the eggs benedict.
The service was fine, and it was cheaper than the other two breakfast places I've been this week, Perk & Breakfast Club.
Choosing a favorite would be tough for me. Breakfast Club, U.S. Egg, and Good Egg have better outside seating and the former has IMHO the best blueberry pancakes and the best omelets , but you often pay for it in $ and waiting time. Butterfields, JP Pancake, and Original Pancake House have more exotic fare (e.g. German Pancakes) but no outdoor seating. I'd reserve Perk for days when I want southwest flavor, Good Egg for healthier fare, and Denny's for a real bargain. I guess that leaves First Watch as OK, but with no real reason for me to go there. -

I've been back to Breakfast Joynt numerous times since my first experience here, an Official Yelp Event.
They continue to impress with the breakfast grub which is my thing.1 Previous Review: Show all »

My wife and I recently moved to Scottsdale and have been trying out the breakfast places around town. We decided to try the Breakfast Joynt based on mostly positive reviews.
I can only give this place 2 stars at best. My wife had pancakes which were very heavy, the strawberries were under ripe and butter is served in little plastic tinfoil cups which is pretty lame. Who wants to spend 15 minutes buttering their pancakes?
I had 2 eggs and biscuits & gravy. I seldom order this but there are VERY limited selections on the menu. The biscuits were dry and hard and the eggs were not cooked over easy as ordered but rather the yolks were medium-well. The hash browns were okay.
The coffee is very weak and not recommended.
Overall, our meal was $25...way over-priced for what we ordered. Also, due to the crowd, we felt rushed by the waitress. I would suggest heading a few miles over to Butterfields-Twice the food, better service and better quality.Comment from David P. of Breakfast Joynt 2/1/2011
