I had some coworkers visiting from out of town so I wanted to find a solid breakfast spot to visit near our office. We LOVED our visit to Diner 50 and this is now my go-to breakfast spot downtown. Everything was perfection. We loved the art inside and outside, music, and vibe. Our server was warm, enthusiastic, and had immaculate timing. We appreciated how playful and passionate she was. I swear she knew the name of every guest who walked through the door, and asked them thoughtful questions about their loved ones or travels. This is obviously a place that people return to and become regulars at. An excellent sign. What we were not expecting (and SO DELIGHTED WITH) was the cat rescue space through the adjoining wall. We are all cat-obsessed, so walking in and seeing a room full of absolute sweeties playing around added 100,000 points to the experience. The coffee? Epic. Served in a nearly soup bowl sized cup (hot) or gigantic mason jar (iced). Diner coffee can sometimes leave much to be desired but this coffee was soooo delicious and strong. The food? So awesome. I went with a classic breakfast plate - eggs, sausage, potatoes, blueberry pancakes. I added a biscuit because the menu said they were homemade and I had to try it. It was exceptional, I would go back just for the sausage and biscuit and coffee. My coworker got the huevos rancheros with red and green sauce and I was massively jealous. Everyone left over-caffeinated with bellies full of delicious food and hearts warm from being so well taken care of by our lovely server and getting to play with kitties. The prices are fair, the food and coffee are delicious and homemade, and the service is exceptional. I am someone who really values being involved with my community, so I feel great about spending my money somewhere that is clearly beloved by my neighbors and pours back into them. Thank you Diner 50 for being such an unexpected delight! read more

Diner 50 - Awesome art outside - Diners Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Everything about this place is great--the design is really cool and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the ribeye steak and eggs. When it came out, the steak was smaller than I expected and pretty chewy. It also seemed much leaner than what I usually expect from a ribeye, with very little marbling. Because of that, it didn't have the tenderness or flavor I normally associate with that cut. I'd still recommend this place overall since my friends enjoyed their food and everything else was good. I'd just personally skip the steak next time and try something else. read more

Stopped here on a Sunday morning around 9am. Reminds me of an old school diner, with a projection screen inside playing I love Lucy. Was pretty quiet until about 930, starting getting really busy inside. The food had good flavors and was brought out pretty quickly. Awesome view of the city outside, and lots of parking. read more

Flavorful food, good portion size, great selection and friendly. Had fish fry and chocolate shake. Cool diner vibe

Fun casual atmosphere. The food was good, but the decor, color scheme and above-and-beyond level of service and attention from the staff is the best part. Had the biscuits and gravy paying extra for the green sauce to put on top of the gravy. Also got the red sauce (hot) to put on the potatoes and to supplement the green sauce (mild). . . the red sauce is the best! Potatoes were nicely done. read more

Absolutely delicious food and great music. The ambiance was great. Server was friendly and observant with a bright smile on her face. There's a cat sanctuary next door with some of the most adorable kitties. There's 2 very attention demanding cats that need a home. Seriously!! They run up to you and start rubbing you. So, someone go grab them!! read more

Don't be an idiot. Come and eat here and leave in a happier place. Every part of this place hits the mark and then there's this added benefit of a kitty petting zone where you can go and pet them. The pancakes were AMAZING as were the burgers. The staff literally could not be nicer and the decor is retro fun. Great place for a date or a big family outing. I wish I didn't live 1500 miles away. I would be honored to be a regular at Diner 50. read more

What magic did they put in the gravy?! It's so flavorful and delicious! I ordered the biscuits and gravy and I am very pleased!

We were in the middle of driving on the highway to Sedona and just happened to search places in the area. At first the place looks like a hole in the wall. But we were quickly greeted and the great service continued the whole time. I went with a party of 5 and everyone thought the food was really good. read more

$22.00 for what appears to be canned corned beef and hash and a coffee is... a little much. Food took about an hour to get to us, and was mixed. The french toast was standard fare, but came with fake maple syrup, and no butter. The sausages were tasty, and the potatoes were fine. Another friend had chicken fried steak, which was unremarkable. The cats next door were cute. Servers were nice, and the retro decor was cool, so not a terrible experience, but overpriced and underwhelming across the board. read more

I pass by Diner 50 every weekend after grocery shopping for months now and I've always wanted to stop there. I finally went there today with my friend Angelica and we had a wonderful experience. I ordered the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy and eggs and she ordered an omelette with mushrooms, onions, steak, and Swiss cheese, and both were delicious. Service was great, we were seated immediately and the staff was very friendly and attentive. A special shout out to Adriana for having a space for cat adoptions where you can actually go in and interact and play with all the kittens she has available for adoption. I'm not a big cat person, but I spent about an hour in the room playing with the cats and just having a good time with my friend. I asked Adriana about donations she needs most and said cat litter and cat food. If you do donate cat litter, please donate ONLY Purina Tidy Cat Multi-cat Clumping litter. Two big thumbs up and five stars for great food and a great cause! read more

We ordered the country fried steak and eggs 5/5, get the house made green sauce 5/5 (poured it all over my plate, it would make a flip flop edible), and Molcajete 4/5. read more

We went for the first time to try this place out and they insisted on sitting us at the counter. We said table or booth please and because there was only 2 of us, she said the place is small and it's going to be getting busy soon so we couldn't have a booth.. FAST WAY TO LOSE BUSINESS.. we left and decided to go elsewhere!! Shame on you hostess. read more

11/16/24 - Short version: the ratings for Diner 50 are spot on. We finally popped in this morning, around 9-ish. Had no trouble with parking, the staff was friendly and quick, the cooks know how to flavor their meat, and the menu is pretty large for such a small place. The decor inside takes you back years, to when times were simpler, movie stars didn't dress like tramps, and the music was heartfelt. Breakfast was great, would like to go back and try something else, or sample their lunch menu. I bet their milkshakes are pretty awesome. Longer version: Don't make the same two mistakes I did about Diner 50; 1) that the business is closed, and 2) that it's a dive with crap food. We have lived in this area for years, and I also worked in the area for about five years. Every time I drove by Diner 50 it looked empty. Well, that's because I just learned today it is only a breakfast / lunch joint. They close at 1 or 2 pm, depending on the weekday. The large juke box in the corner was only 10 cents (I remember paying a quarter, so this was old for sure!). Unfortunately, the only working thing was the flashing lights. There was one 45 vinyl, of Luther Vandross. :-) It took a trip to the restroom for me to notice their countertop was covered in old LPs. There was an old stove in the back near said restrooms, I almost opened it but was afraid of breaking something so old. Ha! The decor is old-time signage, and plenty of pictures of the great actors/singers: Elvis, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean. I ordered the steak and potato bowl with over-easy eggs, sans onions and peppers; my sister ordered the combo (eggs, taters, bacon, toast), plus OJ. The green sauce that came with my bowl was too spicy for me, but let me tell you, even without the onions and peppers, the meat and mushroom mixture so well seasoned and juicy it did not need anything else. It tasted wonderful just the way it was. They did forget my two eggs but then they came out quickly once I pointed that out. My only critique is the parking lot lines. They need to be repainted because they are very faint. If you have not tried Diner 50, give it a go. I do not think you'll be disappointed. read more

If you are ever in Phoenix and are hungry, this is the spot.
