Side salad
Spencer M.

Overall: 3 Food: 2 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3 Came in for lunch around noon just looking for that traditional diner - their menu options are solid so I was thinking it would be a hit. The prices are.. well it's 2024, so they are pricey. Meals that used to be 9 dollars are now like $15 but that's just life. The food itself wasn't anything special. I'm a sucker for open faced hot Turkey sandwiches... it came with a side of mashed potatoes! When the plate was first presented I was a little confused as the mashed potatoes were the same consistency as the gravy so I thought I had a massive plate of gravy. The Turkey was decent, but the bread was kind of lost in the amount of gravy provided. The gravy was just okay which was over half the meal and I'm assuming the potatoes were instant box mash. My girlfriend got the SNS Burger which was their smaller portion burger and a side salad. She said it was mediocre... from a looks standpoint it was pretty, but kind of looked like cheap frozen beef patties. She enjoyed the salad. The service was solid - really no complaints on that end. The environment itself is an old school diner vibe with 2 sections in the building. We were seated on the left side, but I'm assuming both sides are the same style/theme.

Bacon cheese burger is not hand pressed but it's really good.
Timmy S.

Walking up there was a hair weave in the grass and a dead bird so I knew this place was going to be good! Our waitress was great! She had a good sense of humor and joked with us several times. I had the bacon GCCB and it was really big! The patty wasn't hand pressed but it was delicious! The fries were really good too. My son had the hungry man special and it was huge! Came with unlimited pancakes too! My other boy had the bbq burger with a side of Mac and cheese. The Mac was pretty bad. I was hoping it was good but it was dry and rubbery. The waffle was huge and full of strawberries and whip cream. I like this place and I would probably be a regular if I lived close by. Two thumbs up from me.

Very good

Trying out this diner for breakfast
Daysi G.

This place is out in West Phoenix. We wanted breakfast in a diner style and that's what we got. It is definitely an older building. The decor has not been updated since..... I don't know actually LoL. Very late 70s mixed with 80s. The feeling you'd get from a diner out in the middle of nowhere. Looks like the owners might be an Asian family. They were so nice. Greeted us and sat us promptly. They were pretty busy mid morning on a Sunday. Our wait wasn't that long. Our server was very pleasant. We placed our order and it was just what we wanted. Delicious hearty kinda greasy diner food. It was just right. My steak and eggs were cooked perfectly. My husbands omelette was flavorful. We certainly will be back when you're in the mood for hearty meal.

New York Strip breakfast
Genesis S.

Came in here on a Sunday. Even though the joint was packed, service was fast. Waitresses are friendly and prompt, checking-in on our table often. My husband recommends the steak and eggs, one of his fave breakfast spots for a good reason. Food definitely has a homestyle taste. And though you can tell the place is old, it's very clean and smells delicious!! Definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of old school diners with great food, great service, and a nostalgic feel.

I've been to Genie G's off and on for many year. The food and hospitality are exceptional and I really appreciate it. On a different note, Why don't you…

I wish Yelp would only show ratings from 2025 and later, after 2025 a lot of prices have gone way up and quality has suffered at most locations so a lot of ratings are no longer relavant.

Here's a polished version of your review:…read more I didn't expect this place to be anything special at first--just another little hole-in-the-wall brunch spot. But I was genuinely surprised by how great the entire experience turned out to be. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The servers were kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The owner even came by our table to talk with us about the restaurant, their values, and the care they put into making everything from scratch. That personal touch, along with a complimentary dessert, really made the experience memorable. The food was outstanding. The chicharrones were perfectly crunchy and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The salsa tasted incredibly fresh and paired well with everything on the table. The carne asada was cooked beautifully, developing a flavorful crust from the Maillard reaction, which gave it that rich, savory, slightly crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Overall, this was one of those restaurants that completely exceeded my expectations. Between the warm hospitality, attention to detail, and excellent food, it's a place I'll definitely be coming back to. If you're looking for authentic Mexican brunch with great people behind it, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Also nice clean bathroom

The food options are great too. I ordered the fried chicken after hearing so many good things about it. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown for me. It was super crispy and juicy, but also really salty, which kind of overpowered the flavor. The mac & cheese was pretty basic, but the Matador and breakfast sandwich were both solid choices. And don't forget to check out the ice cream shop next door! They have some really good flavors. Overall, still a great spot for brunch, drinks, and an amazing deal.

Our server Jacob was excellent and very professional and friendly. He checked on us regularly and never left us waiting for service. We started with dirty martinis and they were prepared perfectly. Icy and filled to the rim. I ordered the Short Rib Potstickers $19- As an entree. Toasted sesame, cilantro, ponzu. Delicious. A good amount of short rib in each potsticker and plenty of sauce. My husband ordered the Blackened Sea bass Tacos $28 - blue corn tortilla, grilled pineapple salsa, red cabbage slaw, poblano crema. He loved these tacos. He said they were very, very good and the fish was cooked perfectly. For a side, we ordered the Spicy Double Egg Fried Rice. $9. Wow, this was packed with flavor. A nice size for the price. We have only been here a handful of times full of times and we are never disappointed. We will be back!

This is the second location I have visited. My first visit was to the location in West Hollywood,…read moreCalifornia. This location definitely takes the cake in ambiance. It is beautiful, spacious, and has two floors! The setting is clearly above your usual brunch spots and the booths offer a more intimate experience. My party and I were privileged to sit in direct view of the open kitchen. We got to see and hear the kitchen staff working together and communicating smoothly. We even heard the "hands" announcements like you see on The Bear TV show! I believe the food here was on par with the West Hollywood location, so points for consistency. Unfortunately, I have the same qualms for flavor for their dishes. I tried the short rib pot stickers, the tortilla soup, and the Bolognese pasta. I would say that the flavors were not especially strong for each dish. I think they each needed a pinch of extra seasoning to really make their flavors pop! Moreover, I tried my girlfriend's Rigatoni Alla Vodka and the cheese had no taste! Nevertheless, the dishes were beautiful. Lastly, I had a bit of an issue with our service. Our server passed by our table multiple times as we tried to flag her down to ask for the check. I think she could have been more attentive especially in the context of this higher-end brunch spot. With all of these factors combined, it's an overall 4/5 for me.

I think I'm to the point where I only feel it's worth coming when you can sit outside - I prefer tables along the entry walkway which are picnic tables, and that level of casual really doesn't match up with the price dinner menu, so by that logic, it's boils down to worth it for happy hour. My main issue with the dining room, ever since my first time there, is the acoustics. There's always one loud table (if not more) and something about the building just amplifies it. I feel exhausted after eating there from having to shout to converse, and thereby also needing to keep topics of conversation pretty shallow. Also, a more recent phenomena is the portion sizes have become enormous. We most recently did the Arizona Restaurant Week menu, I tried to come with a big appetite for multiple courses. I opted for the ahi tuna small plate for the first course (for something more interesting than a salad but less substantial than the very large chicken wings that come with potatoes), the shrimp pesto tagliatelle for the second, and the chocolate cake dessert. The tuna would have been a suitable dinner; knowing there were still 2 courses to come, I had to call it quits before finishing. I managed a few bites of pasta and took the rest home, along with half the cake dessert. It made for a nice dinner the following night, although still went not entirely finished! Secondary to being mind blown by the portion size, yes everything was delicious. The happy hour dishes I've most enjoyed (these rotate a few times a year) include the various flautas, the eggplant meatballs, sun-dried strawberry and ricotta spread on grilled bread (bring this back!). The charred sweet potato, grilled chicken wings (with potatoes), and smoked beets are pretty good as well. I look forward to focusing my return visits on this menu!

We ordered the harissa shrimp and charred cabbage, which were both flavorful and unique. I love ordering things that I wouldn't normally make at home when dining out and both dishes were just that. The harissa shrimp was super flavorful and garlicky. Thankfully it was served with bread or else we would've been licking the plate for the sauce. The charred cabbage is wood roasted with yogurt masala, shallot, romesco and pistachio pesto. My husband was a little iffy about the mention of yogurt masala but was won over after the first bite because all the flavors complement each other so well. Ambiance is great with lots of natural light due to the wall of windows along the street. A train passed by on this rare rainy afternoon, making our experience feel extra cozy. Service was good and it's nice they have both indoor and outdoor seating with windows. Extra bonus is the changing hands bookstore is attached so you can shop your heart out afterwards. All around good vibes!
