Denver Omelette and Hash Browns
Jamie J.

We were the first ones there on a Monday morning so the service was quick! They brought our toddlers food as soon as it was ready so she didn't have to wait and had more time to eat. Very much a typical and spot-on diner. Enjoyed eating here!

Racquel T.

Pretty good! Very nice place as well. Reminds me of old skool diners. I had the Philly cheesesteak and fries! Very flavorful and the fries were fresh. Waitress was cool and not bothersome. Which I love so overall nice dinner or lunch spot

Mark A.

Had another delicious breakfast here at Nana's tried something a little different from my normal. They had a special going on omelettes hashbrowns and toast. Pretty good special service was good. It's a 50s diner so the ambience is pretty cool to try. I think you'll like it.

Welcomed in with an Elvis cutout.
Lola R.

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!

Breakfast Sandwich ($10 menu, all day everyday I believe!)
Hannah Z.

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
Elle S.

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.

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.
Cheri M.

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.

Shakes!

The food was absolutely magnificent! The service was smiles and friendly hospitality all around. The prices were fair and the portions large. Lots of family enjoyment. Try them today! They have lots of shakes!

Agnes K.

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!!

Two waters and coffee, no refills offered
John C.

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.

Main entrance
Stephanie M.

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.

Cool place with old school decor, autobilia decor & good food. I ordered the breakfast skins, ! Sat at the counter since it was just me, expecting quicker service. Unfortunately, the service was barely adequate. I never revived a refill on &had to wait 15 minutes to get my check & pay. Upon entering there were about 7 of is stay the counter, the other 5 left before I was done, ready to go... I along with another patron had to ask for the check. I had my card ready & placed the check towards the server area, the young girl was either new or just didn't care about service. I hope someone could help this young girl learn about efficiency & service. We watched her walk around, chat with the cooks as if she forgot we were sitting here. Nobody came close enough to grab their attention so we could pay, after about 15 minutes & empty Coffee cup, the youngman saw my look of needing help while he was gathering plates from the dining room. The youngman came over to take our checks, I mentioned the guy next to me needed a bill adjustment & I handed him my bill with my card. He then proceeded to adjust the other patrons check & set mine aside. I think he could have run my card, since my bill was good then helped the other customer, he didn't. It's little things like this that make me feel "why go out to eat if they just don't care?" The food was great & I will be back during the next show, hoping for better service.

The restaurant itself gives off more of a farmhouse-y, homey vibe, as opposed to a traditional, vintage diner. All the same, it was a comfortable place to get a bite.

It was a hearty meal and also delicious. I sampled a bite of my sister's pancakes as well and they were incredibly tasty. Our server was so sweet and knowledgable on the menu.

We love Welcome Diner, and have been here many times. It is definitely not fancy, but it is exactly…read morewhat it should be. It feels very hipster and very retro and it just has so much personality. There is a lot of outdoor seating in what is essentially a front yard. There are tables and string lights and lots of trees and there are even a couple of playground horses. When you walk in there is a hostess desk kind of pieced together with different pieces of furniture and above it is a turning disco ball. Could there be anything better? There are booths all the way around, and there are no tables - - but you can sit at the long counter and watch your food being made. That really is the best place to sit because it is so interesting to watch them. It's amazing to me that they can keep all those balls in the air and still make all this food so delicious. There is a small bar off to one side. Make sure you go to the bathroom. The bathroom is nothing special, just a room full of graffiti and stickers, but if you look up you'll see the ceiling covered with little pinatas and a little donkey in the hallway. The menu is just what you would think for a diner menu. You can order breakfast or some sandwiches, burgers, Mac and cheese, and there is a selection of dinner entrees. Sitting at the counter we saw a plate with a steak being prepared and it looked absolutely fantastic. We were not really very hungry, and just wanted a quick small bite. Have you got that Welcome Burger, and I got the Sasha. Hubby said his Burger was good, although it was quite small. The Sasha has smoked pork and they put the pork on the grill and it becomes a crispy kind of Patty of shredded pork, then they put the crispy shredded pork patty on a noble bun with coleslaw and a fantastic horseradish sauce. My sandwich was a 10 out of 10 for sure! I kind of feel like in Phoenix there are some areas that you can go to or not, but welcome diner is a place that everybody should go to at least once. I really want to go back for breakfast which is kind of shocking because I'm not a breakfast person.
