Chicken quesadilla
Todd J.

Stopped by first time. In a bowling alley. The gentleman wait staff was awesome. He was so attentive and polite. Ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla. It was fresh and tasty. If I am in the area I would go back. Inside was clean.

Cute Diner

As a Certified Chef who is retired but has never worked in a restaurant but knows great food and is…read morea true Foody, I write my reviews from the standpoint of a customer who loves the whole culinary experience from the greeting to the door closing behind me. The following is how I rate each experience from 1 to 5 with 1 being awful and not recommended to 5 being outstanding and you've got to try this place. 1. The greeting: Was worm and immediate. We were seated quickly in a booth of our choosing. 2. Atmosphere / Vibe: When you enter any establishment and it is loaded with Seniors, you know that it is a winner. It was packed with a combination of age groups, but Seniors dominated the demographic. 3. Menu: Breakfast (All day), lunch and dinner. Lots to choose from. Easy to modify any order. 4. Service: Outstanding. Nichole (pictured) was our server. She is obviously a consummate professional who is well fitted for this profession. 5. Food prep & Presentation: Food was served in a timely manner and was hot (not from sitting under a heat lamp). The vegie omelet was packed with fresh veggies and cooked to perfection. Hash browns were crunchy and not greasy. Pancakes were fluffy and full of flavor. The pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked. The bun was fresh and not chewy like you get in so many places. The condiments were fresh and not wilted. Onion rings and fries were hot and crispy. Cold slaw was sweet and savory. Coffee was fresh and robust. The presentation left no room on the plate for anything else. 6. Price Point: Excellent value for the portions. If you don't take home a doggy bag, you may have a tapeworm. LOL.

I swear to God, this is such an odd place! The dichotomy between old and young still perplexes me…read more The majority of the clientele is elderly....think 80+. The majority of the employees (the servers, at least) are 25 and under. Plus, this place gives off Greek restaurant vibes, like the kind where you can get a gyro, spaghetti, or chow mein all in the same place: jack of all, master of none. You think it's all going to be tasteless food, but you would be oh so wrong. Mom and dad (80+, but with it) ordered liver and onions, I got an open faced turkey sandwich, and hubs got country fried sirloin. Everyone agreed that their food was delicious. I can't speak to the others, but for me, the turkey was moist, not dry, and the gravy (which they drenched over my turkey without asking, thank you very much) had really good seasoning to it...not overly peppery like at most places. The mashed potatoes were soft, not chunky, my side of corn was very buttery and NOT served in a bowl of corn water, and my cranberries were from a can (THE BEST KIND, and yes I WILL FIGHT YOU on this). We all ordered pie for dessert and I should have went with everyone else and gotten Key Lime, but I chose cherry. It wasn't the greatest of flavor as, even though there were real cherries in it, it was predominantly cherry flavored goo. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised, and I would come here again. But only with my parents, because I think hubs and I were the only people under 60, lol. 10/2026

The dining area was not busy with just 3-4 tables occupied and a few people at the barstools. I was seated quickly by a hostess and given two menus while waiting for my friend to arrive. Menu: it's about the size of a Sears Catalog (exaggeration but about 8+ pages front and back) and appears to serve food approved by the United Nations (food from different parts of the world). This is the type of menu Gordon Ramsey would go crazy over and shred to pieces. Portions are not larger than before but prices increased considerably! Food: I ordered a Veggie Omelette with Spinach added and Whole Wheat Toast, decaf coffee, and water. My friend ordered an all-meat skillet, sourdough toast, coffee, and water. The omelette/skillet was overcooked and dry. My friend sent back his toast because it was served with a MOLD SPOT on it. Our server was not swayed by the mold and replaced it. No apologies or contact from the managers. By this point, we just didn't want to finish what we ordered and left. Dining room is well lit and spacious. Lots of available seating but could not help that their "Grand Opening" sign has been hanging outside for WEEKS. Servers are slow and never seem to be pleasant (more melancholy). Overheard one server speaking with some guests at a table using profanity. This review was based on my individual experience. This used to be our favorite breakfast spot but clearly is no longer the case. Having watched the gradual decline in quality and service, I am no longer inspired to spend my money at AZ Diner.

As a Certified Chef and Serve-Safe Manager I always look at eateries from different points of view…read more This was our first time eating at JiMichael's. First: Is the environment welcoming? In this case, we barely got in and were greeted right away by Dawn and asked did we perfer a booth or table. Then were seated at a clean booth and the seats were clean as well. My only negative take away is that the booths are a little tight. Full disclosure; I am 6'5" @ 280lbs. Second¹: Amy was our server and got to us quickly. It was obvious that this was not her first rodeo. She was very clear with answers and made additional offers to compliment our choices. Amy never let our water or coffee get low. We were not her only customers. She brought the complete order at one time and it was exactly as ordered. Third: The food. Everything was cooked as ordered. The portions were not lacking. If you leave this restaurant hungry, it's your fault. The only negative take away was that the food could have been a bit warmer. Personal preference. Fourth: Atmosphere. Even though it was busy, the noise level was quite low. Folks of all ages were present. I observed the greeter, Dawn wiping tables and chairs as people left. She did not just wipe around the condiment station, she moved everything so that she could do a complete wipe down. She even wiped down the side edges of the tabled and wiped off the chairs. This brings me to my fifth point of view. Cleanliness- Bathrooms will tell you a lot about the staff. Both the men's and woman's bathrooms were immaculate and well stocked. I was impressed with the soap dispenser having real soap instead of the cheap foam. I highly recommend JiMichael's for the whole family or a luncheon or special occasion dinner.

We looked at the website and noticed that they had some gluten-free alternatives for my hubby so that was a plus in our book. First thing we saw when we walked in was all the goodies that they have for their bloody Mary bar. They had over 30 different items that you could add to your Bloody Mary for as little as $14. This included meatballs, and bacon. Everyone that we spoke to was kind and very friendly. Son decided on the peanut butter and jelly French toast, hubby decided on the lemon ricotta and blueberry compote gluten-free pancakes, and since I knew I would be sharing the bougie biscuits. I just ordered two fried eggs. One of the things that was so great about this place -for especially gluten-free eaters - is that they were willing to adjust or accommodate almost anything on the menu in order to make it adaptable. The host, the gentleman behind the bloody Mary bar and our server were very well educated. The restaurant was super cute and had a vibe with black-and-white sayings all over the wall. The food was delicious although my husband said the pancakes were a little dense, but that's to be expected for gluten-free pancakes. Phoenix area ( Peoria) had some really good restaurants to choose from!
