In Scottsdale on a business trip, a co-worker recommended we bypass the hotel's cafe and cross the parking lot to hit the Village Inn. It's in the IHOP / Perkins (damn, I miss Perkins)/ Denny's vein - unassuming decor, happy staff, good service, clean, and a wide variety of menu items. They are known for their pies but as this was breakfast I didn't get a chance to sample any (I'm not really a pie guy anyway). The first day we ate in the hotel cafe and paid $22 for 2 medium coffees and a breakfast burrito. At VI, for the about the same money we got:  OJ, 2 coffees, 2 scrambled egg whites with turkey bacon and whole wheat toast, and a VIP Platter of pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. Nice bargain. Breakfast was solid if not spectacular. Service was friendly and fast. We went back a second time if that's any indication and I'll go again when I'm back in the area.
