    We happened upon this venue doing our famous alphabet dates where we landed on the letter D. I'm so happy we found Diamond Dons because holy smokes! I have never had a better Philly Cheesesteak even in Philadelphia. Don received many best of awards for his cheesesteaks and I'm so happy I ordered The Maria! Don immortalized his wife in a Damn Delicious sandwich. Get the seasoned fries and they will Change your life. We also got the Dolce Cookie Dessert and it Didn't Disappoint! 10/10 for the food and the ambiance was great. I'm thinking to plan my next party at this new venue in Downtown Mesa. The service was also very personal as Jordan gave us great recommendations and told us some wild stories.

    We went here actually think this was a steakhouse (like tomahawk and baked potato steakhouse). Turns out it is a cheesesteak house. That's okay--we like Cheesesteak. This place has a cool Egyptian theme there is an Egyptian sarcophagus, a cool Egyptian throne, and even Egyptian hieroglyphs cut out on panels on the ceiling. There is a bar, as well as banquette seating. The owners actually own a music studio, so there was a dj set-up in the corner. There is a courtyard with a set up for music events, and I imagine when an event is going, this place is packed. Our server was really nice, and he aimed to please. We ordered a couple of cocktails, which were really good. Hubby said the espresso martini is the best he has ever had. They are served in plastic cups, but that probably comes with it being attached to a live music venue. We each ordered the Don Cheesesteak, and it was amazing! It had the steak, provolone, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes. It came served with fries, and they were also really good--perfectly crispy. We liked the drinks and food here so much, that I see is returning again and again.

    Diamond Dons is a new comfort food spot in downtown Mesa. From the minute we walked in we were greeted and given a run down of the menu. We decided to try the burger, hotdog and chicken tenders. The burger was my fav- so tender and perfectly cooked. I can't wait to try a cheesesteak next time. They're open late when many of the downtown restaurants are not! This place is a VIBE. It's got a retro diner feel with fun lighting, good music and a subtle Egyptian flair. They share an epic outdoor courtyard with the Saltmine Studios- a local recording studio with an impressive history. We even spent time talking to the Don himself and he gave us a tour of the studio. Everyone working here was really friendly, we ended up sticking around for a couple hours just chatting!!! They also have live music and open mic nights in the courtyard, which we really enjoyed with our dogs. Support local and go check out Diamond Dons, you won't be disappointed.

    The employee that hit my car

    I had a very disappointing experience at Diamond Don's. An employee named Savannah parked next to my car and opened her door into my vehicle, leaving a scratch. We were sitting inside the car at the time, especially we were waiting to go inside the restaurant at 5pm, so she was aware we were there, yet she walked away without acknowledging what happened, apologizing, or checking on the damage. Accidents happen, but taking responsibility and showing basic courtesy goes a long way. The lack of accountability was frustrating and left a very negative impression. I hope management addresses situations like this and reminds employees to be more careful and respectful of customers' property.

    Wife & I are starting a fun date night activity exploring downtown Mesa. Walked by and was enticed in by the live music. Both ordered cheesesteaks Wife's Dom was 5/5. My Maria was 4/5 (onions weren't grilled very well. But meat & cheese were great. Drinks & fries were on point. Fun atmosphere, We might be a little old for the crowd tonight. But the band was great! Service was really good considering we were seated outside w/ a bar crowd.

    I was out running errands on a Wednesday night and was in the mood for a good cheesesteak. Decided…read moreto pull out my phone. and instead of using Yelp, I actually just punched cheesesteak into Waze, and what do you know?! I ended up finding the cheesesteak joint. This is actually a food truck, which is parked on the side of the Tipsy Catcus, which is a really cool brewery I also checked out while I was waiting for my order. I ordered the original cheesesteak with the white cheese and whiz cheese combo (I tried to order my usual provolone, but they don't offer provolone as one of the cheese choices) and the fried mushrooms. I was the only person who pulled up around six P.M. and because this was on a Wednesday night, not a Friday night, hence the low traffic. But service was really good. The young lady who helped me out was prompt, explained everything and gave me a pager, which allowed me to go inside the brewery while I waited. One thing to note, while I was talking to the owner of the tipsy cactus, he told me that Friday night and Saturday nights are usually popping. So I wouldn't expect to be first in line on any of those nights. It also looks like they rotate food trucks on different nights, so don't assume that the cheesesteak truck is going to be here every night. I would check the tipsy cactus website, or Instagram page to be sure. It took about 15 minutes for them to complete my order and when I got it home and I dug in. I was really satisfied as the food was super good. Cheesesteak was on point with the prime rib being top quality, and the fried mushrooms were well done, juicy, with a really good homemade sauce that they packed in with my order. I almost forgot about the churro I ordered. And I forgot about it because I accidentally left it in the bag in the car and didn't eat it until the next day. It didn't matter. A short blast in the microwave and this thing was killa. I'll definitely be looking forward to checking this place out again in the future.

When my mom…read morewanted to find a place near the rental car place my auntie from England had to drop her rental off, we decided to dine here then take her to the airport. I saw this location had some good seating to have 10 of us as a send off. The staff was incredibly friendly, and even offered extra chairs and help move tables if needed. What We Ordered: - German Potato Salad: My cousin ordered and really liked it. I'm not a fan of German potato salad, so I didn't enjoy the flavor. I'll stick to my potato salad. - Potato Salad: Pretty decent for a potato salad, but nothing standout for me. - Meatball Sub: My cousin and his son split this, and they said it was quite large. They wished it had more sauce, but still overall a decent meatball sub. - Caesar Salad + Chicken: I couldn't snap a photo before my cousin's girlfriend and his daughter tore into this. They seemed very pleased with the salad and at a glance, it looked pretty delicious. - Philly Cheesesteak: My dad said it was very good and ate the whole thing! - Roasted Veggie Wrap: My mom said it was nice, and veggies are refreshing on a hot summer day. It was wrapped well, and enjoyed the umami of the mushrooms and balsamic glaze. - Pastrami Reuben: I loved this sandwich! The pastrami was delicious, and I'm excited to have leftovers which is saying something. I'm not usually one to look forward to leftovers. - Turkey & Swiss Wrap: My auntie throughly enjoyed this, and said it was the perfect last meal in America before heading back to England. - Chef Salad: My auntie and I split this to have a bit of veg. Lovely salad with lots of ingredients that complimented each other well. - The American (Reuben-style): My cousin really enjoyed this sandwich and said it was quite large. Next time, she could easily split with me or her fiancée. - Cuban: My cousin's fiancée ordered this and said it's the best Cuban sandwich he's ever had! Quite high remarks. Honestly, I'm not sure I could pick a better place. Very friendly, quick service, and great eats. Definitely return to this location when in the area, and will recommend to family and friends.

I went to place my order online, saw that if I signed up for rewards, I'd get $2 off my order, thought great and signed up! Only to wait almost 10 minutes before submitting my order to see if the coupon code would come through, it took a while and I just placed my order without it. Not two minutes after I made my order I get a message stating the order is cancelled because they couldn't fulfill it. No other context. Maybe it was the timing? Maybe they were out of ingredients? Who knows, but not me! So I just moved on and got a sandwich elsewhere. I gave 2 stars as the menu does look good and there's a handful of 5 star reviews that lead me to believe they could be good, but only time will tell if I dare to try again.

The other places I've eaten bacon at have been so lackluster that I begun to wonder if I even enjoyed bacon anymore. Thanks to Old School Grub, I was able to eat delicious bacon once more. The French toast was warm and tasty and eggs were absolutely wonderful. They also have a large array of hot sauces to choose from. Overall, it was a great experience. We spent around $34 for two people (includes tax and tip)
