7 months agoOh my GOODNESS... TAMMY NEEDS A RAISE AND A GOLD MEDAL. We decided to have a little date night at 5pm on a Saturday. We walked in at the beginning of what was a MASSIVE rush of people. All tables slammed full, max capacity. Tammy was moving at lightning speed, never sat down, never slowed down. She was as present as she could be while managing massive parties of people and training a clearly overstimulated trainee. The kitchen was churning out plates like a machine, and they all looked EXCELLENT. Our burgers were perfectly cooked. The pumpkin pie shake was on special, and DELICIOUS. The food at atmosphere are always good, but... the service really just blew me away. She's rough she's tough and she's in charge. And she supports her staff. I can't brag more. Best experience I've had in a busy diner in a long time!

7 months agoOmg SO delicious! Absolutely got that "diner" taste, that great diner atmosphere, and superb service! Highly recommend their Love Me Tenders, they've got that thick-breaded crumch that we look for! They put GARLIC in their corn, I didn't even think of such a delicacy, very grateful! Thank you Tammy for taking care of us, you are such a fun & phenomenal hostess, thank you so much for taking care of us! Happy New Year!

7 months agoMy friend recommended this place and I was not disappointed! I'm a lover of all things 50s and this place was perfect. The decor is spot on and I love that the music machines and jukebox are still intact. Plus the oldies playing are the cherry on top. Every item on the menu looked great. I chose the country breakfast option and was blown back by the quality and quantity of the food. I also got the blueberry shake, which was the best! Our waitress was so kind and made sure we were comfortable. I hope to come back to this place soon!

7 months agoBest breakfast I've had in AZ since moving back from California! Husband took me here after having some really good Chicken Fried Steak for breakfast at this place and so worth the drive we made from Tempe! Ordered the Country Breakfast for 15, came with hash browns (super good, not too greasy and cooked light as I requested) scrambled eggs and 2 biscuits with gravy (so moist and very good gravy) with sausage or bacon (I chose sausage links and they were so flavorful and juicy)! I tried my husband's CFS (I can understand why he ordered it again!) I'm not a big chicken fried steak fan but even I would consider ordering this on their menu. It was 15 and comes with 2 eggs, hash browns, and a choice of toast, pancake, or biscuit. He ordered the pancake plus two more! We shared all of it, and the pancakes tasted like actual buttermilk pancakes, rich but not too sweet...could not help but finish them. Iced tea plus the meal was 42 after tax, but before tip. So worth it and highly recommend! Place is small but 50's diner decor, very friendly and quick service, with outdoor seating. They are 24 hours, with a very appealing lunch and dinner menu too! I'd love to try so much more, but passing up that breakfast on our next visit will be very hard to do! We found our favorite breakfast place finally!
