LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE This place! My family and I use to live down the street from this place, and we are a very busy family on the go and some days we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at this place. This was also mine and my Best Friends hang out place when we wanted to a cup of coffee and some Yummy Yummy Breakfast. The Service is Great, Love the waiters, they are so fun and make this place what it is. The food is great....good old down home comfort food, And while the decor is a little out dated I think it gives it a wonderful home feel...makes me feel like I am at Grandma's....So I don't mind the decor....I love how they have the counter to sit at, and booths that give it a warm diner feeling, yet they also have a big dinning room if you have a bigger party, or want to spread out a little bit. You can't beat the prices either, Seriously you will spend the same, if not less if you were to go to McDonalds... The prices are great! This place will most definitely be on our list of places to eat at when we come back to Phoenix to visit! read more

Went back Sunday morning for breakfast and while it was a lot busier this time we didn't have to wait long and the food came out very quickly. They have the best egg cook I've ever seen. Eggs come out a perfect over medium every time and look so pretty. Love this place for breakfast. read more

I went with my boyfriend on a Sunday. The place was pretty full-- an older crowd and a few families. The servers were sweet older ladies and the they did a great job! The food was average, I had the biscuits and gravy. The cost was reasonable and I left full! Wouldn't kill to go back, but it's a nice place if you're in the area looking for breakfast. read more

We stopped here, on a yelp review, and not disappointed The food was delicious and the service was awesome #Crystal

An unexpected gem in a not so savory section of the city is how I'd describe Genie G's. I grew up coming to this spot back in the 80' when it was CoCo's. The decor hasn't changed and not much has been done to update the building however the old saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" should be applied here. The menu is flooding with classic dinner food and remixed renditions of breakfast staples. If you can't find something that grabs your attention and makes you think "I gotta try that" you should've just grabbed a bowl of cereal at home....wait never mind you can get a bowl of cereal off the menu! A few of the specials like the one I pictured (The 75th Ave Special) have all you can eat toast AND pancakes, not one or the other. This day the wife and I had a hankering for breakfast, which is served all day, but we will definitely be back to try other selections off the expansive menu. The Ruben and the Patty Melt caught my attention. Friendly service, a good cup of coffee and a delicious selection of menu items far outweighed the lack of atmosphere, which was nostalgic to me but, I could see why it would detour some. read more

I love this older Diner . Don't judge this place by its cover for sure . My husband I found it by accident on our way to our shop . We stopped and had breakfast and omg the food was better than all the other breakfast places we had been too . We love the food the cook is excellent everything cook like home made . I'm so happy we found this place . read more

We love to go to little diners for breakfast. They were busy when we came in but we got a table right away. Our food took a while to come out when it did it looked like a hot mess. The hash browns were so burned and crispy you could only eat the top which was not very much. Our omelettes were pretty good but that was the only positive. Our waitress never brought us our toast even after we reminded her. When we paid we let the cashier know and he gave us a discount read more

Walked into Genie G's sat at the booth. No waitress came to our booth. Waited 5 minutes. So we got up and left. Genie G's has gone down in customer service. Will not be returning. This use to be our favorite restaurant. I give it one star. Genie G's doesn't deserve the one star. The only way we can post is by giving a star. Zero is how we feel. read more

Service was slow, older waitress liked to talk. I had the 79th Avenue special. As in other reviews the food was cooked the way you asked. I ordered over easy eggs , they were perfect! Asked for my potato's to be cooked crispy.... they were perfect! The only big disappointment was the gyro meat. It wasn't off the cone. It was pre packaged and pre sliced. Anyone who knows Greek food knows the best gyro meat is off the cone. For that reason I only gave it four stars. My compliments to the Chefs read more

Food was ok more or less nothing to special fortunely it did not cost to much read more

Tried a new special on my 1st visit here. Ordered a tea and was told it was freshly brewed, however it did not taste that way. My pancakes were fluffy and delicious as were my eggs and sausage. American fries are slice potatoes FYI. I will visit again and will continue to explore the menu The manager on duty when I went was very rude to her teammates/waitresses. read more

Great service and food! Tried this place for the first time today with my 14 and 18 year old daughters. We were seated immediately and got our drinks right away. I loved that our waitress noticed when we were ready to order and we didn't have to flag her down. Very attentive and super friendly. Food came out quick and hot. Everything made exactly how we ordered it. Didn't have to track down the waitress to get our bill n pay either (which I LOVE!!). Prices are great! Around $30 to feed the 3 of us a home cooked meal. Can't beat that!!! We will definitely be going back to try other things on the menu. Lots to choose from, the portions are large and the prices are easy on the wallet. OH! And for ranch lovers, they make theirs homemade and it's soooooo good! read more

Can't comment on the quality of the food. Ended up leaving after no one came to take our order after waiting for 15 minutes. Almost seemed like we were invisible. read more

I grew up in Glendale for a big chunk of my life. And due to that, most of my experiences stem from eating at Genie G's and skating at Rollero. It was a blessing to go to there every Friday night and have a great meal, and then work that meal off across the street. I also loved the service I received from Martha, who was a breath of fresh air compared to the usual string of run-of-the-mill waitresses. She was attentive and was always willing to go above and beyond to make sure my stays were not only enjoyable for me, but also enjoyable for any customer she'd serve. Definitely recommend this place for great service and wonderful food. read more

Have been here about 3 times. Want to like it but have been disappointed each time. Eggs have been greasy and gross. Bacon way overdone. Burgers so so. We tried enchilada and was mucky ground beef. Chipped plates. Silverware that needs to be replaced. Want to like this place as we love diners with counters and this is on way to work but no bueno. Pancakes are the best thing we've had here. Waitresses are very friendly. read more

This is a good diner. The food is tasty . The coffee is great. Been here for breakfast and lunch. Satisfied both times. Servers are friendly and fun. read more

I eat at this diner alot because I own a business in the area. The food is consistently good with large portions. It is a simple menu with good home cooked type meals. If you are looking for a full belly on a tight budget with a good selection this will be for you :) read more

Service was fast and very friendly! The food was good (Belgian waffle and biscuits & gravy) but nothing special.

Good basic diner. Lots of menu choices. All 3 times I have been has been just as they open for breakfast. The server is really great. This isn't a place that will wow you but nothing has been poorly cooked any time I have been there and the prices are reasonable. There are always a few specials on the board. read more

The food was super good and we had great service. Ordered the southern breakfast and a side of pancakes, my girlfriend and I split both and found them to both be excellent. I have to say, these were some of the better biscuits and gravy that I have gotten when eating out. Overall, a great place to grab some breakfast if you live close by. I am not sure if it would be worth making a long trip for, but like I said it definitely has potential to become your local go to for some good cheap breakfast! read more

ive been a customer here for years but today i decided to avoid genie g's at least for a while. I know they have been relaxed on the mask mandates and they do the bare minimum to guard against covid but today i saw a blatant disregard for hygiene altogether. I watched as a waitress took dirty dishes and scraped food with used utensils as the food and whatever got on her hands she just wiped it off with a napkin then used those same dirty hands to take silver ware and food to a table. Then she got out her cell phone and texted on that before adjusting some toast on a plate with those same unwashed hands. I watched as servers handled money then food with no gloves then bring silver ware, menus, and food to tables. I was pretty grossed out by the disregard to standard cross contamination let alone that there is also a highly transmissable virus on the loose ....Though i love the food and most of the servers I will be taking a break from this particular restaurant for a while. Also the cooks arent wearing gloves and the manager is handling money and touching silver ware with no gloves or washing his hands. sorry genie gs I love most of you there but you need to step up the hygiene read more

Friendly, fast and good, simple diner food. If you don't like abrupt humor, don't listen to the servers. Funny to listen to them lovingly insult the regulars read more

If your looking for a greasy spoon joint this is a great choice. The food is great and prompt. However I'm not a fan of the wait staff the person who work my table was rude. I gave it two stars because I probably won't go back. read more

This is such an adorable place! The food is delicious and the service is Wonderful! We had omletes and shakes, couldn't finish my dinner. It's a sit down, very comfy restaurant. We will be back! read more

Great experience. The service was friendly and our server was so kind to our son . The food was great as well .

Great value for the money and the staff is super nice. I had breakfast with the charizo patties. Don't expect to get anything close to authentic charizo if you order this. Everything else was great. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday. It looked like it was closed from the outside, which should have been my first clue. There's a small foyer between to doors at the entry. Clue #2-it was filthy. Inside, the front room was all booths from the seventies. To get to the tables in the back room, we had to pass the bathrooms, which reeked. Still, we stayed. Our waitress was very nice, but her shirt was stained and filthy. The iced tea was good and she kept our glasses filled. My friend's salad was fresh and large. She said that the turkey club was "okay". My "hot" beef sandwich was luke warm, the beef was processed, the gravy was out of a can and gelatinous, and the mashed potatoes were instant with garlic powder added. It was disgusting. We shall not return! read more

Looking for a new breakfast spot and this is it! The food was great and our server, Connie was amazing! We'll not only be returning for the food, but to see Connie as well! read more

Just moved from Ca and must say this place is pretty good.. our server Karen was very friendly.. Ordered our food.. didn't take too long. Overall a pleasant experience :) good price for good food :) and its down the st from us ... def will come back read more

This place has a nice small town feel to it. There were a handful of regulars (really old men drinking coffee and reading the paper) which made it feel homie and welcoming. The breakfast was good and reasonably priced. There's nothing spectacular about this place but if you want a good diner style breakfast you won't be disappointed here. read more

We have been going here since I was a kid. Our favorite server is Connie! She is playful and on it when it comes to service. Connie has got to know our family and what we like while dining. I now have children and will continue to go and request our favorite server! The food is delicious as well. My son is 4 and will eat zucchini and liver.I have tried many various items and never had one complaint. read more

Enjoyed the food! Had the 75th Avenue special and it didn't disappoint! Lived having gyro meat with eggs! Pancakes covered in strawberries was a nice addition to the meal! Martha took Gray Cate of us! Thanks Genie G's! Positive experience all around! read more

I moved to the Phoenix area in May and have not found a good breakfast joint since. Every ihop, Denny's, anything you can think of isn't the best around here. I finally decided to go for a little drive north with my boyfriend and try this place. Honestly this was the BEST food we have had in ages! Karen was a wonderful server and the food came out fast. Portions are massive for the price which is a plus too. We will definitely be coming back here every Sunday for breakfast or lunch! read more

Food is good but not mind blowing good! Honestly is equivalent to home cooking! But it's cheap GREAT portions & good customer service! they claim to serve gyro but it's a joke! I go back for the hungry mans special for $7.99 I get 3eggs, hash browns, 3 slices of bacon, 3 sausages all u can eat pancakes & toast! That's a great little mom & pops breakfast joint! Good for a cheap budget! read more

Excellent place. 75th Ave Special is what I ordered. How often can get gyro meat with breakfast! The prices were very reasonable ($9), coffee $1.99. The staff was very friendly. It felt like I was visiting a road side diner in a small, mid-western town. read more

Great staff - funny old timer men sitting at the bar. Like a Denny's but all locals in there. Food was good - very Denny'ish. You get what you expect when you walk up. Good food & a few good laughs listening to the old timers give each other a hard time. read more

Food was good, service was fast and friendly. BUT... place was in serious need of cleaning.

Great diner food, great diner service, great diner prices. 3 eggs, a ton of gyro meat, hash browns, and ALL YOU CAN EAT pancakes for $8.95.

Good food and generous portions. Service is good. Price is the justification for a 4 star rating. Breakfast and the burgers are damn good.

Service was great . Place is outdated and In need of renovating food was good . Prices were great
