Dad's heading back down the mountain soon and I'm always sad to see him go. But one thing we have started to do is our traditional good bye breakfast at Galaxy Dinner. This morning I had French toast with eggs and bacon, which dad shared his potatoes with me. And Dad got the corn beef with the toast and eggs. Unfortunately we had to get it changed out since they mix bell peppers with their corn beef, but we got bacon instead and it worked. A great breakfast to get dad down the mountain! And as always we'll be back again! (If you've never seen Galaxy Dinner's neon, highly recommend eating here too, it's so cool!) read more

Galaxy Diner - Bteakfast - Diners Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Near empty, seated immediately. We were never acknowledged by waitstaff. Never offered water, or a "I'll be right with you." Brought this to the hostess's attention. That did nothing. We left after 20 minutes of non-service. This was on a Sunday morning. There were few tables occupied. There were several servers visible not attending to tables. Shocked. We went to a different restaurant. Seated, ordered and served in the same amount of time we waited at Galaxy. read more

The service is very good, but the food left much to be desired. My wife had a chicken breast sandwich - meat was not trimmed well so there was rubbery pieces which spoiled the entire sandwich. Also the roll was very soggy. I ordered a patty melt. I can't be too specific except to say that the taste was very funky. On a positive note, the onion rings were fantastic!! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ambiance of Galaxy diner is great. It feels like a true diner from back in the days with the decor and music. When we went on a Friday night for dinner, there was live music. Service was good and the waiters were friendly. I ordered the March special turkey, candied bacon, and cheese melt sandwich and veggies. The candied bacon was very good and I liked that it came with a pickle. I could tell the veggies had been frozen/store-bought though so that wasn't great. Overall I liked the vibe and thought it's cool they have diner and booth seating, along with a shake bar. read more

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. read more

Great little diner. Neat atmosphere, cool nostalgia. Food was good, people were kind. There was ample seating and it was comfy. I would come back! read more

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 read more

I was on a little road trip today and was driving through flagstaff and decided to stop at Galaxy because I hadn't eaten all day I'm 8 months pregnant and needed to stretch my legs and get some good food in me. Little did I know I would be entering an establishment where the staff would ignore me for at least 10 minutes getting the drinks and food orders of at least 2 other table that were sat before us. Like I said I'm 8 months pregnant and was frustrated cause I was pretty hungry when I made it apparent I was upset the waitress decided to yell in my face about how she was the only server working which is not my problem at all and I don't think I should have been treated that way whatsoever. The food wasn't good enough for all the bullshit I experienced honestly. I will never go back. read more

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. read more

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.

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!!! read more

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 read more

Galaxy Diner - Hamburger - Diners Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

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?" read more

The food was delicious and large portions. The service is spot on right there when you need something and the food comes to the table within minutes. This place will keep you looking at all the walls covered in movie star pictures. This is definitely a great restaurant. Large parking lot read more

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. read more

Good food. I ordered the potato jackets . I had thought about ordering the 3 to an order but decided to get the 2 order instead. Glad I did that as the potatoes were larger than the normal baked potato you would receive with a dinner. They were hot, fresh, filled with toppings and oh so good. Server seemed a bit distracted but had been there since opening that morning and was in need of a break. The restaurant was busy and just the right volume of conversation. Everything was clean and orderly. read more

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. read more

We were visiting out of town from San Diego this Christmas and were looking for a spot to eat and got led here! This place was great and the customer service was even greater. We had went after snowboarding, and sneaked in a To-go order for Christmas Day where they were one of the few places open! They were so kind to take our big order despite the amount of people that were there. Everyone was beyond kind and the food was great!! I recommend this place. The diner itself is so cute, and has that old school ambience. This is a great place for families, couples, and even yourself! read more

Great Food, Atmosphere, And Service.

2 adults, 1 child. Cheese burger, bacon cheese burger, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes. turkey sandwich: real turkey breast (huge), avocado, lettuce is tomatoes, pepper jack. We also ordered onion rings, (huge) so good, came with ranch dressings on the side... it was so good the little guy drank it. lol. Friendly people, great music of good times 50s. We will definitely come back and bring friends and family. If you missed old diner food then this is a place to go. So many things pictures of legendary musicians and celebrities. read more

Outstanding ambiance! It was quiet tonight but you can tell the food is made fresh and after you order it and not sitting in heating plates anywhere! Music they play fits the theme. The Booths are BIG. I am a heavy tall person and I fit fine! The Bar seems to be for smaller humans but looks inviting for those solo Diners... the waitstaff is friendly and welcoming. The food did take a while to come out but to be expected from fresh cooked food. I had an omelette and my date had the meatloaf. The omelette and potatoes were a tad bland, nothing some salt could not fix. The biscuit and gravy was very well made and good. Meatloaf was bland with not much flavor. The veggies were cooked well and the mashed potatoes and gravy were the hit of the plate. All in all a Solid 4... recommendations for families and singles alike for date night or family dinner ! read more

We were in the mood for diner food and took a chance on this place off Route 66. Parking was no issue at all. It was rather empty and it did have an over powering smell of Fabuloso (cleaning fluid), but don't let that deter you. Service was great and they suggested the pot roast which is braised for 8 hours. My husband tried it and absolutely loved it. The triple decker club was delicious. Servers were very nice and food was brought in a very timely manner. Definite would recommend this place. They did have a gentlemen singing and playing music which made it great and he has a great singing voice and played catchy songs. read more

A true diner advertising movie stars over the past 75 years or so. The waitstaff are very knowledgeable and work with efficiency.

Awesome American diner. They have tons Of cool memorabilia on the walls. Breakfast was great and the staff was super friendly. Hit the spot. We'll be back. read more

The service was poor. I stood at the front for several minutes before someone realized my group needed a table. The waitress seemed unsure about the items on the menu. At one point it was asked what type of bread the sandwich was on and she responded "she did not know" and would go to the kitchen to ask. After waiting several minute she returned and said that the kitchen did not know either. Several meals came out incorrectly. When it came time to split up the checks, she acted confused and said she would give us the check and let us split. She finally gave it a try and was able to get it split. The restaurant adds an automatic 15% gratuity for groups of 8 or more, which we did have, but it was not added on everyone's check. Then requests more on top of that. When it came to checking out in the front the manager was rushing people through to get them out. It became my turn, so I handed her my card, she quickly tapped it and gave me my receipt. Then, when it came to the customer behind me (my sister), the manager goes "some people are just so impatient, she wouldn't even look me in the eye!". I do not appreciate a rude manager that is rushing people through, not even saying hi or thanking them for coming in, trash talking a customer in front of another costumer. The food tasted subpar and overpriced for the quality you got. The only redeemable part of the visit was the decorations inside. Would not recommend! read more

Unacceptable Service, We Left Before Ordering I was excited to try Galaxy Diner, but the service completely ruined the experience. Our waitress took forever to greet us, and when she did, she was rude and dismissive. I explained that due to a medical condition, I can't eat large portions and wanted to order from the kids' menu to avoid waste especially since I'm staying in a hotel without a fridge or microwave. Even after explaining all of this, she continued to question me and said I couldn't order from the kids' menu because I didn't have a child under 10 with me. The situation escalated when she actually yelled at the hostess, who had kindly told me it would be okay to order from the kids' menu, saying she was new and shouldn't have said that. That was completely uncalled for and unprofessional. At that point, we decided to leave. No one deserves to be treated like that, especially when they've calmly explained a personal situation. The hostesses at the front were very sweet, and I feel bad they had to witness that kind of behavior. Hopefully, the management addresses this so other guests aren't treated the same way. read more

Galaxy Diner - Diners Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

The Galaxy would benefit from hiring a restaurant professional to oversee the operation. Watching employees make a mess at the shake station and clean up only their spill, as opposed to wiping down the milkshake spills that previous employees had left, was disheartening. Looking around the place it was obvious that employees left messes on every surface and didn't take a minute to clean the surface. The menu offered a Ribeye steak and eggs breakfast. I ordered it. I was served the toughest, chewiest , gristle-laden sirloin steak I've ever been served. It was inedible. The owners and manager should fee shame for that bait and switch. Sadly, it may have seemed like a money saving strategy but it only ensured I will not return. This is unfortunate as I was looking for a go-to breakfast spot and miss the food and service of a diner that knows the business. read more

Good vibes and food! Service was great and there were lots of food options. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

Good not great. The decor is really cute! Reminded me of a 5 & Diner! It was open early which was perfect for our early bird family It's a great stop if you have kiddos! The service was nice! No complaints. Chill and easy. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the coffee was so bad. I wasn't expecting anything fancy, I've had my fair share of diner coffee, but this was the worst ever. Very watery, not enough coffee grounds were used. The food however was yummy! I got Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast and it lived up to its name! Decadent, sweet, dreamy! My daughter got the Bobby Sock Bear which the name alone made her giggle! It was perfect for her! I wouldn't make it a point to come back here but I also wouldn't be against eating here again if it happened. read more

While vacationing in Sedona, we took a day trip to see the Grand Canyon. On the way. we stopped at the Galaxy diner in Flagstaff for some food. Our server was fantastic- he was very friendly. I had the breakfast burrito - YUM!!! One of my daughters had steak and eggs and her steak was as good as a high end steak house - seriously- and at a quarter of the price. My other daughter enjoyed her chocolate chip pancakes and my partner enjoyed his custom omelette. We were very happy with chose the Galaxy diner. read more
