If you are a lover of breakfast food, you know there’s nothing like a hot, make-from-scratch breakfast served up just the way you like it. If you’re the kind of person who would rather sit back while someone else does all the cooking, there are a handful of breakfast-centric restaurants around greater Phoenix that cater specifically to hungry patrons just like you. And, recently, one of the top names in serving up breakfast around Arizona has announced it will not only open one new destination in the Valley but seven over the next two years.

Local Restaurant Opening 7 New Locations

When you stop by a fast food restaurant to order burgers and fries you’re probably only thinking of what you’re hungry for and how quickly the food comes out. Other than that, once you leave the drive-through window, your only other thoughts might be on if they made the order correctly. What you shouldn’t be focused to think about is just how clean the kitchen was or if the restaurant performed well on its last health inspection. After all, there is some level of trust between you and the restaurant. For the majority of greater Phoenix restaurants, that’s not an issue. However, one local fast-food restaurant nearly failed its most recent inspection, as it received a D grade just last week.
