Picture this: a sunny Phoenix morning, a bustling patio surrounded by lush greenery, and the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon-wrapped jalapeños. Sound like the perfect start to your day? According to foodies and locals alike, Richardson’s Restaurant is serving up more than just breakfast—they’re serving an experience.
Recently crowned “Best Breakfast in Arizona,” this spot has folks raving, but like any great dish, there’s a mix of flavors in the reviews. So, what’s behind the buzz? Let’s dig in.
For many, Richardson’s is nothing short of brunch nirvana. With its cozy indoor-outdoor vibe and a menu that promises to please, it’s no wonder this restaurant has developed a loyal following. Highlights include their Carne Adovada, a tender, flavor-packed delight that’s won the hearts of even the pickiest New Mexican food lovers. And if you’re looking for a starter with a kick, those bacon-wrapped jalapeños are an absolute must.
Visitors celebrating milestones or simply exploring Phoenix often find themselves coming back for seconds. One diner couldn’t get enough during their birthday trip, dubbing Richardson’s the culinary highlight of their visit. The staff’s flexibility—like letting you build your dream dish à la carte—only adds to the charm.
But not every review is sunshine and huevos. Some guests have found the beans and potatoes a bit underwhelming, with flavors that lean more toward basic than bold. A few brunch-goers noted that while the enchiladas are hearty and sauced to perfection, the sides occasionally leave something to be desired.
Still, for every “meh” potato, there’s a rave about the green chile sauce or the unbeatable atmosphere. And let’s not forget, Richardson’s is a favorite for dinner and lunch too, meaning there’s always a reason to come back and explore the menu.
So, whether you’re in it for the carne, the camaraderie, or just a plate piled high with your breakfast favorites, Richardson’s has something to offer. After all, a title like “Best Breakfast in Arizona” isn’t just handed out—it’s earned, one bacon-wrapped jalapeño at a time.
