Ever since I moved to Arizona in 2018, I've been wanting to try here. Had the opportunity to check it out after church this morning and I was not disappointed. Classic old school diner atmosphere, . Our server, Spike, was awesome; with jokes and witty banter. It's hard to find a classic turkey club done right, and they knocked it out of the park here. Will definitely be back to try something new read more

Whoever made this country gravy knows what they're doing. There is only one other place that serves a large portion of Chicken Fried Steak and that place is called Black Bear Diner. What I love about this particular place is their chicken fried steak. Breading is crispy and meat is tender just the way I like it. I will definitely keep this spot as one of my options for chicken fried steak. Steamed vegetables are good. Mashed potatoes are good. Garlic toast is good. Worth the price! read more

Tammy! Thanks for making our first trip to 5 & Diner a great time. I appreciate your advice and great attitude. A great team and a really tasty burger. I won't tell anyone about the special Strawberry shortcake you put together for us! read more

Hi! I came in on February 13th at around 8pm to do a school project at this diner. I found it very enjoyable as the waiters and staff were very welcoming and friendly. I had the sour dough French toast with a banana milkshake on the side. I got my food in roughly 10 minutes which comes with no complain as it all came out warm and ready to eat! If you are looking for a nice time to relax and enjoy some diner food this is a great location! read more

Love the old diner look and feel, open 24h. The cheeseburger was exactly what I wanted so good. The put some seasoning in the fries which I love. The chocolate shake is so yummy I don't normally have shakes but I drank most of this one. The food comes out fairly fast. Our waitress was thorough and nice. Wasn't the biggest fan of the fish but that was just me. read more

The atmosphere is neat and a true diner experience. I wanted lunch so I had a plain ole cheeseburger which was 1/2 lb and juiced and cooked medium which I requested. The fries are good but there could have been more seasoning added. Everything came out hot. My bf had hungry diner and it was good. The pancakes aren't fluffy but they are still good. Overall i was skeptical since I had read the reviews but it was good. Only thing I didn't like was hearing the employees bitch about each other but our server Cindy was nice. If it's busy, you won't see them much. Sorry I didn't get any food pics. read more

Use to always be my late night stop. Happy to see it is still open. I love this diner. Even if the table jukeboxes don't play anymore. Prices are still good. Waitress was friendly. My breakfast for lunch, was just as yummy as I always remember. I hope it'll always be here, when I visit home now. read more

When I walked in here first thing I noticed is it looked very rundown, with cramped seating and bad lighting. Their property uptown on Northern has more light but also has a poor design, layout and furnishings. The server staff was also grumpy and below average like the other location. I like the 50s retro diner concept but this chain doesn't deliver unless you're filming a horror movie. The best of this genre I've eaten at is Bings Burger Station in Cottonwood. read more

I'm not sure why, but my experience at 5&Diner was excellent several times in the same week! I'm local, and had visited years ago - but for some reason had not gone back for breakfast. My recent experience was GREAT! Delicious fresh bacon, eggs, good coffee (Ok it's diner!) and the old time '50s is just a great breath of fresh air from all the other breakfast places that are swamped, over priced, and to be honest are not at all any better. (Can you spell avocado toast?) My compliments to the 2 waitresses and the waiter that served me several occasions. Courteous, funny, and very obliging without having to ask! It's service and food that meets a high standard in my book. I'm back to becoming a regular. Thank you 5&DINE! read more

5 & Diner is one of those comfort food places I tend to go to when in need of something that can stick to your ribs! Tammy was very attentive and friendly! I was having a bit of a down day, and she managed to turn that around! Now, my partner and I have been indulging The Wolfe Pit's reviews on frozen Country Fried Steak dinners. Well, I thought I would do this one better and actually try the real thing! I'm not a connoisseur of Country Fried Steak, but you don't need to be one when this was one of my first real experiences with the actual dish. I will say, from the onset, my meal came out hot and ready in a short amount of time, about 15-20 minutes, but it was fairly fast since it was just the beginning of dinner service. Now, my partner is Southern, born and raised, and had indicated that the meal looked like it was supposed to, especially with the amount of gravy present on the steak. The breading was crisp and crunchy, and the gravy was very rich and savory! I added a lot of pepper to mine because I really like pepper anyway, but the gravy itself was very good! The mashed potatoes were on point and paired well with this dish! The veggies of the day were pretty good, fair, but the star was the King Kong Country Fried Steak! Well worth the price, filling and when I say it's filling, it really is stick to your ribs filling! Take it to go if you fill up quickly, but the bang is worth your buck! So, if you have a chance, come down here with the efficient and friendly service and staff, equipped with a pretty excellent sense of humor. Just make sure to ask for Tammy and get yourself a milkshake while enjoying the classic diner atmosphere! Down to earth and festive, you won't regret it! Just make sure to arrive before the meal rushes. That way, you can look over their awesome, classic American menu and maybe get a banana split to polish off your experience! Bon appetit! read more

May 17, 2025 - 5220 N 16th St, Phoenix, AZ 85016 I took my family here after shopping, for a fun lunch. We entered the restaurant and stood waiting to be greeted/ sat just like any other typical restaurant. After 10 MINUTES of standing there, with zero acknowledgement from the 3 people I could see working the front of house, I went up to the counter. Again, I stood there for several minutes with employees rushing by and no word. Eventually, Spike came to the counter and asked if I had been helped. I told him that I had not, but wanted to know the wait on a table. His response, "oh there are 5 of you" , which I of course responded yes- because there were 5 of us. To which then he responded with, he wasn't sure. "All of the tables I have available are for 4 people... and that table there (pointing), with those 2, that seats 5 but they like to have dessert" I in return asked him why he didn't come and speak to me 15 minutes ago if they didn't have availability for/ couldn't accommodate a party of 5. His response to me, verbatim, "why would I come over there and talk to you?" My response "because you work here?" In turn, he became defensive and the conversation turned very heated. He told us to leave & I told him where he could shove it. Bottom line, this was hands down the worst restaurant experience I have had in my entire life. I had no problem waiting, but to stand there with no engagement from ANYONE that worked there is absolutely unacceptable. As a business, you should greet your customers. It shouldn't be my responsibility to greet & seat myself. On top of that, I should not be told by a representative of this restaurant that it isn't their responsibility to confirm party size by greeting them. If I could give zero stars I would. Spike, you need to grow professionally- I'm available if you would like help. Worst experience read more

Fun interior with traditional diner setup. Service was very good. Both had ice teas and never less than half full glasses. Had the Philly Cheese steak less the onions and peppers. Tasty but pretty small portion. Great chips. My friend had the Homemade Chili. Huge and very good I was told. read more

Usually, this has been very good. My favorite place to get liver and onions. Was very bad today. Liver and onions were burnt, dry, couldn't really even swallow some of it. So I sent it back, but the second batch wasn't all that much better. At least it was edible. Almost choked on the first batch. Even the onions weren't good. Now it makes me afraid to order liver and onions there anymore. read more

First time eating at this diner. Upon walking in I really liked the ambiance and the retro atmosphere. Would have loved to have eaten our late lunch outside but it was 98 degrees. A/C inside was working great. We were quickly greeted and seated by a lovely hostess who was also our server. Very nice and friendly. Like some other people who have given reviews for here, I was a little disappointed that the table jukebox was not working, or just turned off, or simply didn't work at all because they are decorative only. No big deal. Other retro music was being played over the loud speaker throughout the diner which was fine. On to the food. My wife ordered the turkey club which she absolutely loved. Plenty of turkey and fresh ingredients. The fries were very tasty too. I decided to order what is advertised as one of their signature dishes, the meatloaf. I was excited because I absolutely love a good meatloaf paired with mashed potatoes and gravy and sautéed vegetables. Nothing here could have been further from what anyone would expect from a good meatloaf. On the contrary. It was the worst meatloaf I've ever had, ever. Dry, overcooked, the sauce was burnt onto it, probably from overheating it in the salamander or whatever oven they use. All being hid by a tasteless gravy. I'll be honest, I don't have the stones to send food back. I just suffered in silence, sipping lots of sweetened coffee to get it down. I'm really glad it was me who ordered this and not the wife or there would have been a scene potentially. I'm sure they have other good food to serve here, but the meatloaf today was horrible. Sorry chef, but do better. Had to try this place out but won't be back. read more

We stopped in for lunch today as we were looking for a retro vibe and outdoor seating. This place has both. Service was friendly and fairly quick. Our waitress was super nice took the time to chat a little bit. We sat outside, good distance from others as it was early and not too many people around. Hubs had the patty melt and said it was 'just like when he was a kid' and I had a simple Turkey sandwich and veggie soup. VERY fresh veggies, including cauliflower, broccoli, you name it, was in the soup. I did have to add a little salt and pepper, but otherwise; very good We would never eat inside at a place like this during Covid- super small and cramped in there, as well as they were not enforcing mask wearing. Several families walking around without masks; including a guy going inside and out to smoke, then going back in maskless. They seemed to have a fairly busy take out business as well. read more

This entire review is for Desma, who was genuinely one of the most lovely people I've ever met. I'm not kidding when I say I'm allergic to almost everything. I cannot eat at any restaurant ever. I DID get to eat here with my friends at 4am because Desma herself found and cut me some carrots and celery. Doesn't seem like a lot, but that gesture was genuinely one of the kindest things I've ever experienced. The service for that alone is unmatched. Thanks, girl, if you're seeing this! read more

My family was in Phoenix the week of Thanksgiving. Not a lot was open due to Thanksgiving and Covid but this place was open. What a great find! The interior is so cute, clean, and comfortable. The employees were all super nice and friendly. They were efficient and it was clear they work well together as everyone operated like a well oiled machine. Food was absolutely delicious and service was attentive and timely. Prices were reasonable. LOTS of menu choices. It was hard to decide. This is not your typical greasy diner. If we are ever back in Phoenix, we will come back for sure. read more

First of all, let me start off by saying we were in the lookout for something quick being that we had both gotten off later in the day and everything was closed. the food was OK we had gotten a chicken tenders meal, and strawberry shake the servers were pretty busy it took about 15 minutes to get our food mind you it was not too busy, so I don't know if they were having problems in the kitchen . Other than that the place had a good vibe. The old-school retro aesthetic is very cool and soothing for a late night meal. read more

The food is good and everyone who works there is friendly and helpful . I love this restaurant and feeling like it's the fifties is nice.

The 50s theme here is cool. A classic American diner feel. The Southwestern Omellete (https://bit.ly/33MXILW) that I ordered came stuffed with chorizo, green chiles, and eggs. It was topped with guacamole and shredded cheese with a dab of sour cream on the side. I didn't get a hot tortilla along with the omelette, as the menu promised. The chorizo was rather dried out, which is easy to do when frying it. Overall, the omellete was good. Some Cholula hot sauce really helped with the flavor. The hash browns tasted fresh. The biscuit that came with the meal was on the dry side, though the whipped butter really helped. Service was very timely, friendly, and attentive. read more

Great food glad it's open 24/7food was lil bit pricey but other then that alll good will definitely go back

What a great find! It is the perfect picture of an old fashioned diner with the red booths and juke boxes at most tables. We patiently waited to be seated while the only waitress was dealing with a difficult patron. She was patient and kind to him while taking his order. We were seated at a big booth and our drink orders were promptly taken. We all ordered ice tea. She came back to us right away and told us she was brewing a fresh batch. She took our order. We were 2 couples and ordered sandwiches to split. When we received our food she had the sandwiches split into separate plates. That made it much easier for us. The sandwiches were great and. Y friend even commented that the French fries were crispy as she had ordered. We ordered a banana split and the apple crumble for dessert. The ice cream was very creamy. A good time was had by all! We will definitely stop back when we get to Phoenix read more

The service was mediocre, we ordered and the waiter was stale and was rude, when asked about why 4 tenders was 14$ he said in a rude tone that it wasn't the meal which i then understood. he proceeded to bang his clip board with the receipt and tell us we usually laugh at him and or am rude to him when we haven't visited in months. all we did was order and talk amongst ourselves while we waited. in no way were we rude. this happened around 2:30am and i will be calling the morning manager. read more

Glad to see that this location was open when we were nearby. (they are open 24/7) The 5 and diner that was a little closer to me, unfortunately, shut down a few years back... We stopped by around midnight and we were quickly seated. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The inside was clean and not busy. We ordered our food right away and it didn't take too long for it to come out. I had the bacon cheeseburger and my friend had the turkey blt. The turkey blt is huge and can easily be shared between two people. I did inform the waitress that the burger was going to be shared, and they surprised us by already cutting it in to two and plating it separately. The service was great. We were there at midnight and so we did see a few strange people walk in and out.. read more
