    Another delicious breakfast here at Nana's. It's the old five and diner off of southern in the superstition mall you have two jukeboxes great music great food. Some of the food servers have been here between 10 and 15 years. If you don't know what she want. You'll never know you can get a chocolate shake or a malt afterwards. I think they even do banana splits to try. You'll love it. I do.

    Welcomed in with an Elvis cutout.

    Visited this establishment today once again. Loved it so much the first time, I decided to return. Even from the outside, this eating spot is reminiscent of a 50's diner! Great comfy seating and plenty of booths. This is a diner and not necessarily into healthy options and that's why I gave it a 4/5. No gluten free options! I've had the Eggs Benedict Classic and they are delicious. Just the right amount of creaminess and eggs done to perfection. My friend ordered Nana Dee's breakfast special #3 and said it was delicious! Fun place with great food!

    Came here on a Sunday at 11am, there wasn't a wait time to get seated and there were a decent number of people. A few things I'd note was that the food did take 30 minutes to come out, which was longer than we'd like. We also noticed that when people sat in the booth behind us, the back of the chair pushed into us since it's just a standing cushion. Once the food came out though, we ate right away and weren't disappointed with any of our dishes. As you'd expect from a diner, the house fries (warning, they're not the typical stick fries) were great. The hash browns were good too, but they would've been even better if they had a little more crunch to it. We were all so full from our meals. Now, to the part I'm most excited to review: the pancakes were SO FLUFFY!!! It literally melted in your mouth, like eating a cloud. No knife needed to cut through it because the consistency was perfect. It was probably one of the best pancakes I've had. Our server was very nice and we also loved the true retro design inside. Very fitting for a diner.

    Hot chocolate

    We LOVED our two visits last week! I'm sad I waited until the week I moved away to finally visit. Our service both times was awesome. So friendly and down-to-earth. The food was very good; well proportioned and just as you'd like from a diner. My favorite was the hot chocolate...made with real milk and not the watery stuff. Don't pass on this place! It's so fun and there seemed to be a lot of regulars, too.

    Two waters and coffee, no refills offered

    We had a simple lunch order and tipped 20%. Our beverages were likewise simple, two waters and a coffee. We were not given or offered any refills in the hour plus that we were there. There were four to five employees talking at the bar so it was not for a lack of employees.

    Overdone liver. Your cook should look up how Gordon Ramsey cooks liver so it's not dry and is tender. And I ordered soup and not got it.

    I ordered take out. The liver n onions was not up to par. I even put in my order to cook it lightly. I received liver so overcooked you can't chew. To your cook: look up how Gordon Ramsey cooks liver so it is moist and tender. I also paid extra for soup and did not receive any.

    This is such a cute little diner. The staff is super friendly and definitely a place full of regulars. There were lots of hugs between the waitresses and customers when they were walking in. We had 3 people in our group and we all had Liver and Onions. We haven't had it in years and we were talking about our mom's making it so we heard this was the place to go and it was delish. Also ordered a chocolate milkshake and it tasted just perfect. Real!!

    We've been wanting to try this warm and welcoming 1950's diner across from the Superstition Springs Mall and we were both seriously disappointed in the food. The vegetables were microwaved, the mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from the box and I can't honestly describe the meatloaf. My boyfriend had the turkey dinner and it looked simply disappointed as if it was pulled out of the freezer and heated to temperature it was a sad experience when it came to the food. I'm giving this place two stars just on the service our waiter was super personal and kind but service alone isn't going to get us to return.

    First time trying this spot and it was a good experience! Pretty empty on a Monday night but a hit with the older crowd we could tell. Seated right away and food came out quickly. It tasted great and it was a fast and easy dining experience. Friendly workers and overall good experience. Simple straight forward diner food and a fun decorated restaurant.

    Novel Ice Cream is one of those spots that feels like a hidden gem--tucked away near the museum, it…read morealmost feels like you've discovered something special when you find it. And once you try it, you realize why it's so popular. The ice cream tastes incredibly fresh and homemade. My personal favorite is the honey lavender--it's perfectly balanced. The lavender flavor is distinct and aromatic without being overpowering, which is rare since lavender desserts can sometimes lean too subtle or too strong. It's clearly a well-loved place because there's usually a line, but it moves quickly, so the wait is never a big deal. And it's absolutely worth it for the dough melt--seriously, it's to die for. There's just something amazing about that combination of cold, creamy ice cream sandwiched inside a warm donut. On top of all that, the staff is always very friendly, which makes the experience even better. I will always recommend this place!

    Their Phoenix location was voted #1 in Yelp's Top 100 Ice Cream Shops, so I wanted to check out…read moretheir Mesa location as closer to my house. My boyfriend and I are long distance, but when he was in town, this made for a perfect date night treat! Though the place has no interior seating and only one table, we quickly pivoted the plan to eat in my car. Definitely more of a grab and go place to plan a little differently next visit. And yes, next visit as we both loved what we ordered! My boyfriend wanted the Leslie Knope, but was advised it would take 5-10 minutes so he went with the Dough Melt. I took a bite of his, and it truly was heavenly to have ice cream between a deliciously warm glazed donut though I preferred my order. My scoop of chocolate was perfect for me as I don't like to go too overboard with the sweets! Definitely return here and recommend as the ice cream was very good. Hard for me to find chocolate ice cream that isn't just pure sugar, and tastes like chocolate. Novel hits the mark for me!
