We had been at the Hermosa since Wednesday, we were served a beautiful dinner and Friday evening, we were fortunate to have reservations at the Wine Cellar!!! Come Saturday evening, we thought our son would fly in early enough, on his way back from North Carolina, to take him to Lon's restaurant at the resort. Unfortunately, due to delays he was not able to make it to the resort until after ten. By that time, most restaurants are closed for the evening!!! After a quick search, apart from the traditional 24/7s, we spotted the 5 & Diner, and it was close enough to get there within ten minutes! When we drove up, we were mildly surprised, a little retro, a restaurant we are not used to...upon entering the establishment, the staff was prompt, friendly, and we were seated in a nice booth right away. Our server, Danielle A was extremely helpful with the menu items, wonderfully cheerful, prompt on our orders, and could not have been more attentive!!! The food was well prepared, hot, very flavorful, and timely!!! We were extremely surprised and found this restaurant checked all of the boxes...not to mention surprisingly reasonable!!! By the way, the air conditioner was set at a perfect temperature for the triple digits of Phoenix!!! We would go back again!!! Humbly and respectfully, FLK read more

I ordered on DoorDash, so I can't say much for the ambiance, but I'm going to be brutally honest anyway, so let's begin: I ordered the Cheeseburger and specifically requested no bun and a lettuce wrap. It arrived with a bun and no lettuce wrap. My husband ordered the Southwest Burger and paid for an extra patty, but received only one. For our three children, I ordered three Short Stacks but received only two. I also ordered two orders of scrambled eggs with turkey sausage but received only one, and I ordered bacon with sunny-side-up eggs but received only the bacon. I alerted the dasher, who returned to the restaurant and called me so I could explain what was missing. Unfortunately, the employee I spoke with was extremely hostile and rude. They insisted that I hadn't ordered the third Short Stack and repeatedly said they only make what's on the ticket. I explained that my screenshot showed the order I placed and that, unfortunately, the ticket apparently didn't contain my entire order. What bothered me most was the attitude. I was treated as though I was asking them to give me something for free, even though I had already paid for these items. I still made a point of expressing my appreciation for the dasher's help despite the way I was being spoken to. The employee responded with a sarcastic "thank you" and hung up on me. The dasher then told me that the restaurant refused to remake or compensate me for the missing and incorrect items, despite the dasher returning to the restaurant and waiting 10 minutes to try to resolve the issue. I didn't even mention the burger bun during the call because the interaction had already become so unpleasant. If the employee was simply having a bad day, I genuinely hope things get better for them. Mistakes happen, and I understand that restaurants can be busy. However, the combination of multiple missing and incorrect items, the refusal to correct or compensate me, and the way my concerns were handled made this an awful experience. Unfortunately, this is a hard pass for me. I wouldn't recommend ordering from here, and I won't be ordering again. read more

This little 24 hour diner is close to the concert venue ( Matchup Center) we were at tonight and we opted to come here instead of a Denny's. It was late yet there were a good number of people inside. The music was playing Frank Sanatra and the guy sitting at the bar looked straight out of a movie. The food was really good and reasonably priced. The bathroom was lacking but the diner was vintage. read more

Driving through Phoenix (from LA) on our way to a hike in the middle of the night, so we used Yelp to find us a 24-hr diner and this location seemed to be the only show in town at 4am, so we set the GPS and arrived shortly afterwards. Despite it being 4am and they were empty, the staff were all busy working and cleaning and the spotless restaurant was a result of their hard work. We were greeted warmly, seated and served quickly, and we enjoyed our warm, tasty breakfast that would fuel us through the rest of our drive and thru our grueling hike. read more

We were in the area having come to the Fiesta Bowl Parade and just happened to drive by. Go in; it's a great vibe! Just as cool looking on the inside as it looks from the outside. Very much the diner setting. Welcoming and friendly staff. Food is prepared fresh and they have all the good 'ol diner stuff we all enjoy. We were there for breakfast so we had bacon, eggs, biscuits with gravy, toast and more. It was all great . . . served fresh and promptly. We won't be able to return often as we are not from the area. But we are back near downtown again we'll definitely stop back in. read more

I love coming here at any time of the day! The 24 hour service is definitely the main reason I visit when I'm hungry at odd hours. The food is always good whether its 2am or 10am, and the serving sizes are perfect for the price. I personally love The Reuben, and the fries it comes with are just the right amount of crispy. read more

Why the rewriting of my previous review you might be asking? Ashlee was amazing! Noticed my friend have a headache, so turned the music down. Loved her anticipating our needs and being very friendly from the start to finish of the meal. Sometimes with late night 11pm-1am type stop ins to places, you don't get the best food and/or service. But not at this 5 & Diner! Heck, she even offered drinks to go! Thanks for another stellar visit when visiting after a show at The Van Buren! read more

A good bet for some safe, filling comfort food. They have most everything you can think of to eat that a classic American diner would serve. Open 24/7, I bet the diner would be awesome after a late night out or as a hangover cure, as well as for some good simple lunch options. This is a 50's style diner with hula hoops available on the dog-friendly patio and juke boxes at most booths. There's a long bar with swivel chairs facing the mirrored wall with fun, 50's style murals painted along the wall and a specials menu board displayed. Exterior looks like a huge silver Airstream with colorful lettering advertising menu specials & classics. Service is very friendly and attentive. This is a casual and friendly spot. We ordered: - Diner Wings with ranch and blue cheese (nice big bowls of dipping sauce, wings a little dry but ok) - Guacamole Burger with Fries (very delicious and juicy according to Hubs. Our server mentioned they have won awards here for their burgers) - Patty Melt with Fries & Ranch (bread and meat a little on dry side and melt could use more flavor but solid, filling choice) - Cali Benedict & Hashbrowns (perfect Hashbrowns and delicious, moist and flavorful eggs according to my daughter) - Coffee (strong and decent, not like some of the watery stuff and some diners) cream and sugar options at the table - Cherry Coke (yay! My fave and a diner necessity) - Sourdough French Toast with whipped cream and blueberry for the table (nice but a little dry for me. Maybe we should get butter also next time. A butterscotch or berry syrup would be a good addition too) - Apple Pie a la Mode - Apple Crumble (Housemade! Yummm! Look at the big scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was so good) - Root Beer Float (comes with an extra cup of root beer to pour into float as needed) There is a men's and women's restroom available for customers inside. A huge private parking lot is available with lots of parking options surrounding this diner. read more

Five and Diner. I will confess right here, right now that the family and I have dined here more than forty years. We keep returning. Now mostly on oil change days at the local car dealers. We are dwindling as our septuagenerians and centenarians depart. November 26, 2024 We branched on a veggie omelet, hash browns, a fruit bowl, coffee and orange juice, accompanied by Elvis, Otis Redding, the Supremes, etc from the juke box. The hash browns alone were enough to keep me coming back 40 more years. Brown and crispy - a hash brown model. The omelettw was chock full of veggies, oh and coffee just fine. Our server Kevin was attentive, keeping the coffee flowing. He concluded our meal with a16% senior discount, covering taxes. Thank you Kevin. read more

Ate the Garlic Mushroom burger so quickly, that I missed the photo. Sorry. But it was tasty! Nice to have the option to trade fries for a small salad. The chocolate cherry shake was probably too much for the meal size, but yea, I went there and not sorry. And a nice surprise with bits of cherries in the bottom as well. Love the 50's motif. Always fun. The indoor seating is limited but there are quite a number of tables outside as well. Come on it for some friendly service and solid food options. My first time here was a nice one. read more

This 5 & Diner was in our backyard and brings back memories of the times we spent there. Location Just north Camelback on the NW corner of 16th Street & Coulter, Phoenix. Parking 5/5 There is a Large private parking lot that wraps around the Diner. Atmosphere 5/5 This restaurant is a tribute to the 50's & 60's when America youth hung out in their Cars looking to meet up. This restaurant is a wonderful replication of that Era. Booth seating, music boxes at the tables, bar counter for those who prefer hi-top seating to chat with the waitresses. Service 5/5 We always had friendly attentive service which understandably was a bit slower on the patio. Food 5/5 We did breakfasts and special event evening meal here. Classic eggs, hash browns toast or their Burgers Special events 5/5 The Resturant occasionally hosts car shows, and Movie nights on an outdoor big screen to give the parking lot that drive-in move atmosphere! I took our oldest son to see Bob Dole when his campaign tour bus stopped at the 5 & diner to do a stump speech to a large crowd. My son wrote a book report on his experience for school. Lots of interesting things besides great food can be found here. read more

Not feeling too hot came in today for some soup. Never been. Italian wedding soup was quite lovely, nothing extraordinary but definitely got what I came for. Really like the aesthetic of this place and being open 24hrs has the full Diner feel to it. My girlfriend was pleasantly surprised with her meal. Ruben with a side of fried pickles and a banana carmel milkshake. Ruben was good but not great, "pastrami needs some work", fried pickles were very good and had good light breading. Milkshake was the star of the show with having real chunks of banana in it. Even give you the extra bit of milkshake in the tin cup Service was very good and waiter was very kind. Lovely establishment read more

Great diner. Delia and the tall male server with brown hair are the best servers ever. So sweet and accommodating. The breakfast, chili, and sandwiches are great; not a fan of the burgers. But I'm picky about burgers. The fried pickles are great too! The theme is very cute, I wish the little jukeboxes worked but that's ok. The rest makes up for it. read more

This plc has bn around a least 40 yrs. Unfortunately it's declined in that time. The food's not bad. The retro theme is fun but the service has not great. Perhaps mgt doesn't hire enough ppl? Perhaps the staff doesn't want more help for bigger tips? Either way the waitresses always seem overwhelmed and slammed and the service is so so. The other negative is that it probably hasn't been deep cleaned &/or renovated since Bush 2 was in ofc. Of course, that's lots of $ and they may not hv the budget for that. I wish them well but it could really be improved upon. I'll b generous and give 3 stars. read more

My sister and I were hungry in the area and wanted to try out this retro diner. However, we were quickly disappointed by the core elements that you come to a diner for--the food, the ambiance, and the service. Let's review. The food was subpar. My sister ordered a hamburger and I had mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was initially appealing, until I realized that it was practically on fire. It took about 30 minutes to cool down enough to eat it. My sister's burger was just alright. The ambiance was subpar. We were excited to be seated at a table that had a jukebox, that is, until the host informed us that none of the jukeboxes worked, and ours was no exception. It was about 10 pm when we dined and the restaurant was oddly dark. Not in a cozy kind of way, but rather in a "it's too dark to read the menu" kind of way. The service is where 5 & Diner truly let us down. Our waitress appeared only to bring our drinks and food out and to cash us out at the end of the meal. There were no refills or check ins throughout the meal. Strangely, another waitress was very engaged with her table, to the point of loudly and vulgarly chatting with them. It was....odd. We won't be back. It was odd and disappointing. read more

Stopped by the 5 & Diner after searching for a cool retro diner all over Phoenix. I LOVEDDDD this place and I will definitely be back! The outside is reminiscent of a food truck with a chrome coating. There is both outdoor patio and indoor seating. I was pleasantly surprised to find the diner was mostly clear at lunch on a Wednesday. I was greeted by a lovely gentleman a couple of minutes after arriving , and was sat down in a lovely red booth with a cool vintage jukebox. I had the Big Texan (as I am a native Texan and love a good BBQ burger) and was blown away by the quality of the good! My onion rings were cooked to crispy perfection! The service was amazing, and my waitress Delia did a great job of checking in on me frequently and refilling my soda. I topped off my meal with a vanilla milkshake that was to die for. I even got to chomp on the leftovers of the milkshake in the actual shake dish! I have never experienced such a cool place before and will definitely be back :) I'd say the 5 & Diner is a hidden gem in Phoenix! read more

Our party of 5 was disagreeing on where to grab brunch after church, so we chose 5 & Diner to accommodate the breakfast cravings and the burger cravings. The inside is very cute. Looks like a typical old fashioned diner. Cute booths, cushions, artwork; everything! Perfect for a ladies lunch gathering or just for vintage vibes. There was no wait when we got there at 12pm!! We were sat quickly by a friendly server. He was so on top of things, always refilled our drinks, brought us everything we needed. Even offered to get me a to-go cup for my ranch dressing (it's really good ranch, trust me!!) We all enjoyed our food so much. I got the wings under "appetizers," it's 12 traditional for $15.99! The top ones were a bit dry but there was sauce on the underneath layer and pooled on the bottom of my plate so I wasn't mad. I also had a heaping bowl of ranch dressing! No complaints from any of us. Our server was incredible! He made a joke to one of our friends and we all died laughing, he earns 5 stars from me! I wish I remembered his name. The general manager also stopped by our table and checked in on us. Enjoyed our visit, thanks everyone! read more

Over the past decade we've eaten at 5 & Diner numerous times, specifically after late night shows/venues and the diner food always hits the spot. Through the years, however, customer service continues to decline here with rude personnel, very long waiting times for orders even when there's only two tables, and an overall feeling that changes the vibe from kitschy to b*tchy. Won't be making the stop in here any longer- such a shame as it was a PHX staple for late night eats! read more

It's ok. I wanted to try this place because it's 24 hours. The customer service and service was decent. Not too many delays in getting service or my food. The server also offered to refill my diet soda but I declined because honestly the diet soda fountain drink tasted funky. The turkey sandwich was okay. There wasn't a lot of turkey in the sandwich but the bacon and the bread was decent. The French fries were plenty and fresh, so that was good.
