Original Breakfast House

Original Breakfast House is a Phoenix breakfast and lunch spot that treats diner standards as a starting point. At 13623 N 32nd Street in the northeast part of the city, it serves a menu where French toast comes deep-fried and a chicken-fried-chicken plate shows up with two fried eggs.

Breakfast with some invention

The standout is deep-fried French toast, topped with seasonal fruit or paired with chicken-fried chicken and eggs. Other plates include Spam and eggs over cilantro-lime rice with mango salsa, the El Paso omelet with chorizo, green chiles and black beans, and a birria Benedict. The omelets arrive with locally baked bread and homemade jam, and specials such as bananas Foster French toast change the line-up.

Lunch

For lunch the kitchen cooks 100 percent grass-fed and finished Arizona beef on locally sourced challah buns, and also offers creative sandwiches, salads and the family's favorite seafood dishes. It is a useful place if one person wants eggs and another wants a burger.

The family behind it

Original Breakfast House is family-run, and it has earned a spot on a list of top mom-and-pop businesses compiled by Yelp and Entrepreneur Magazine. Because the restaurant closes in the early afternoon, it rewards people who show up early, especially on weekends.
