    Surprising to walk in on a Friday night and see this place empty. The decor was your classic 50's diner. Pictures of iconic performers from the era adorned the walls. Plenty of checkerboard and chrome accents filled the rest. I had to meltdown patty and I have to admit, the best part of the meal were the Galaxy fries. They were crispy and well seasoned. I'd come back but only for the fries

    Great service, and frankly that and the ambience are the only reason this place gets a 3 star. Took 30 minutes longer than the rest of the food to get my milkshake, and the flavors really just blended into vanilla instead of mint and raspberry... I was not impressed by their vegetarian selection, a lot of stuff was either made with meat broth or had bacon hidden in it. I finally settled on the zucchini sticks and they gave me back clearly two different types of fried zucchini-- one was round little medallions and one was long and thin like a mozzarella stick. Two different batters, two different cuts, it really did not look appetizing.

    The food wasnt really all that great at least the server was nice if I were in Flagstaff I would check out other restaurants. The whole place was just off and mostly empty. The food wasn't all that worth it sad to see a historic route 66 restaurant in this state.

    So this place we went hoping for just simple breakfast. The ambience was set like an old diner. The food which is OK. I had an omelette and it was just nothing special. My friend had the waffle which she thought was just OK. The service was good though.

    I ordered one of the limited edition holiday meals- beef burgundy - and it was delicious! I didn't expect such a delicious and elevated dish at a diner but I was impressed. They had a lot of options for hot cocoa which I was obsessed with and had to order the French vanilla hot cocoa! I also ordered a root beer and it was a classic old fashioned styled root beer and I couldn't get enough!! The service was really great my server was a champ working all by herself as a server! The diner itself is super old school 1950s diner and it's adorable. Definitely stop here if you're on Route 66 or visiting flagstaff

    Ah! I love this place! I lived in Flagstaff during middle school (20 years ago) and this was a go-to spot back then for weekend family breakfast and after school fries anf milkshakes with friends. Coming through Flag moving to Phoenix I was so happy to see it's still here! Food has remained the same yummy, greasy diner food, but the prices have definitely gone up. I love the cacophony of celebrity photos on the walls and the vibes are right out of Grease.

    Maybe you're an east coast gal like me craving diner food from a greasy spoon in New Jersey? We had a delicious breakfast here. The potatoes alone made me nearly weep. You just don't get potatoes like that everywhere. If you're in Flagstaff or on your way to the Grand Canyon or Sedona stop in!

    It's a cute diner and we went here for dinner. Fast service and good food. He got the fish basket and I got the turkey platter. Maddie talked us into getting a milkshake as well. They have 100+ flavors to choose from, he got coffee and I got Orange Colada. The food and the shakes were both delicious. If nothing else, one here and get a milkshake!!!

    They were welcoming when you go into the establishment. There's signs everywhere that say no photos no videos. The server didn't really know the menu or know the shake menu. Food is typical diner food but doesn't have that wholesome diner feel or taste. Price point is something you'd expect out of an actual restaurant not a diner the fact between two people you spend 60$ and ask for a tip. Save yourself the effort and just go to in n out you get more food better service and the staff that are cleaning the tables their rags don't look like they haven't been changed since the 50's. This place could have the most potential especially the area and history but it's just a thing of the past with sub par food. And horrible service

    My daughter and I spent the weekend in Flagstaff and this gem was nearby. We got lured by the retro neon sign and the offer of 100 different milkshakes. We got seated right away and were greeted by one of the most beautiful smiles, our server Rae. She was truly a delight and created such a special atmosphere for my daughter and I to enjoy the amazing country fried steak, galaxy potatoes and coffee that seemed to have been brewed from celestial coffee beans as it was a deliciously silky coffee! Rae made sure to take care of us throughout our entire meal and we even had some live music by a gentleman who took requests and played the classic Soggy Bottom Boys from the feature film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

    This is an old-school 1950's style diner on Route 66 in Flagstaff near NAU. There is a large private parking lot. My daughter tried this spot with a few friends and wanted to come back with us because the food and vibe were super nostalgic and comforting. When I came up to pick up the girls, we went here for an early dinner and Cole was our server. He had excellent customer service and was super friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better server. The menu was a little daunting with 100 choices of milkshake, so I asked what his favorite was and he recommended the strawberry Oreo shake. I immediately wanted that shake and was not disappointed. My daughter also changed her order to get the strawberry Oreo shake. It was very, very good. It comes in an old-fashioned glass milkshake cup with some whipped cream on top and a tall spoon and the extra milkshake comes in the silver mixing cup so it's like you're getting two shakes for one. The food was really good here too, and has some decent to large portions. We ordered: - Strawberry Oreo Milkshake x2 - Peanut Butter Banana Milkshake - West Coast Chicken Sandwich - Turkey, Avocado and Jack Sandwich - Splish Splash Fish & Chips There are a few signs up that say videos and pictures are prohibited, but I asked the staff and they said it was OK to take photos of the food and establishment. I'm assuming the signs are up because there are a lot of personal photos covering the walls, of movie star from the 1950s. There's diner style bar seating near the front and plenty of booth seating and tables further into the restaurant and around the side. There's a men's and women's restroom near the entrance for customers.

    Come hungry! Great American style diner and service is fantastic! For some unknown reason I hate turkey, but at a diner like this, I will always order it and love it. Same with my 87 yo dad. Must be some genetic defect. lol. So the turkey platter was super tasty (maybe a tad over salted on the dressing, so drink plenty of water)! Coffee was also great straight black! Photos of the walls are interesting and gave it that old style diner vibe.

    They were pretty slammed and clearly short-staffed, but the ladies did great in keeping up with orders. Food was really good, the vibe was so fun! Lots of old Hollywood pics. I sat at the counter and really enjoyed this dining experience.

    Food was great, hash browns cooked perfectly. Service was prompt and nice as well. Wasn't too crowded on a Thursday morning.

    Does anyone know why this diner closed? I loved going there when I was in Flagstaff! The staff was always very friendly and the waffles were to die for!

    Not sure why they closed but they have just reopened, writing this August 9, 2020.

    I knew I was in trouble at Steep Leaf Lounge the moment I asked for coffee and the room got quiet…read more Coffee? No (well they do have one option) Latte? Also no (they do have tea lattes) Hot chocolate? Technically yes... but even that comes with Earl Grey tea inside. These folks are deeply, passionately committed to one thing: dried leaves steeped in hot water. And honestly, they do it well. If you're a tea lover, this place is your Disneyland. The selection is impressive, the vibe is relaxed, and the people behind the counter clearly care about what they're doing. There's a real enthusiasm here for the craft of tea, and that kind of passion is always fun to see. That said, my one issue was a pretty important one on a cold Flagstaff day... My tea showed up lukewarm. Now normally I'm a pretty forgiving person... but when it's 40 degrees outside and tea is the entire business model, this feels like a pretty big detail. When tea is the whole menu, temperature isn't a detail... it's the headliner. I like the concept. I respect the passion. It's just a bit limiting for my taste, and the execution missed slightly on the most important note. Three stars. A cool idea... that just needed to be a little hotter.

    One of our favorite tea spots to stop at whenever we're in Flagstaff. They sell their own teas…read morein-house, which is a nice touch. My boyfriend ordered the hot London Fog and really enjoyed it. I can't remember the exact name of my drink - something like Orange Dream - but it was delicious as well. You can actually taste the tea, and it doesn't taste artificial at all. Super good. There's plenty of seating inside, which makes it a great place to hang out. The only downside is parking - finding a spot in Flagstaff can be tricky, and most of the parking in the area is paid. That said, it wasn't too busy when we went around 8am. Definitely recommend!
