How Country Griddle won Goodyear’s hearts
The MasterAngelo family—John, Francine, and Jessica—built their restaurant around a simple but powerful promise: specialize in homestyle cooking and provide customers with a great experience.
What truly won hearts is the personality of the food itself—customers describe the chilaquiles as “simple but packed with a whole lot of flavor” and the country potatoes as the best they have ever had, with a perfectly caramelized crust.
The MasterAngelo family’s approachable, cozy atmosphere earned them recognition from the Goodyear City Council at a public meeting—a testament to how deeply their family-owned breakfast spot has woven itself into the fabric of the community.
This combination of award-winning community recognition, homestyle scratch cooking, and consistently excellent Arizona breakfast food has made Country Griddle a beloved West Valley breakfast institution.
