Old Town brunch runs from sleepy pancake houses to full-volume day parties. The Morning Squeeze sits in the sensible middle: a retro diner on Scottsdale Road since 2013, with a real mimosa list and a sidewalk patio that doubles as the best people-watching seat on the strip.
Go sweet, savory and bubbly — banana Nutella crepes and the carne asada frittata split for the table, plus a mimosa. It’s brunch-crawl fuel, not a tasting menu, and it knows it.
When to go: weekday mornings, same menu without the crowd. Weekend waits can reach an hour between mid-morning and 1 PM.
