Come Saturday evening, we thought our son would fly in early enough, on his way back from North Carolina, to take him to Lon's restaurant at the resort. Unfortunately, due to delays he was not able to make it to the resort until after ten. By that time, most restaurants are closed for the evening!!! After a quick search, apart from the traditional 24/7s, we spotted the 5 & Diner, and it was close enough to get there within ten minutes! When we drove up, we were mildly surprised, a little retro, a restaurant we are not used to...upon entering the establishment, the staff was prompt, friendly, and we were seated in a nice booth right away. Our server, Danielle A was extremely helpful with the menu items, wonderfully cheerful, prompt on our orders, and could not have been more attentive!!! The food was well prepared, hot, very flavorful, and timely!!! We were extremely surprised and found this restaurant checked all of the boxes...not to mention surprisingly reasonable!!! By the way, the air conditioner was set at a perfect temperature for the triple digits of Phoenix!!! We would go back again!!! Humbly and respectfully, FLK

I ordered on DoorDash, so I can't say much for the ambiance, but I'm going to be brutally honest…read moreanyway, so let's begin: I ordered the Cheeseburger and specifically requested no bun and a lettuce wrap. It arrived with a bun and no lettuce wrap. My husband ordered the Southwest Burger and paid for an extra patty, but received only one. For our three children, I ordered three Short Stacks but received only two. I also ordered two orders of scrambled eggs with turkey sausage but received only one, and I ordered bacon with sunny-side-up eggs but received only the bacon. I alerted the dasher, who returned to the restaurant and called me so I could explain what was missing. Unfortunately, the employee I spoke with was extremely hostile and rude. They insisted that I hadn't ordered the third Short Stack and repeatedly said they only make what's on the ticket. I explained that my screenshot showed the order I placed and that, unfortunately, the ticket apparently didn't contain my entire order. What bothered me most was the attitude. I was treated as though I was asking them to give me something for free, even though I had already paid for these items. I still made a point of expressing my appreciation for the dasher's help despite the way I was being spoken to. The employee responded with a sarcastic "thank you" and hung up on me. The dasher then told me that the restaurant refused to remake or compensate me for the missing and incorrect items, despite the dasher returning to the restaurant and waiting 10 minutes to try to resolve the issue. I didn't even mention the burger bun during the call because the interaction had already become so unpleasant. If the employee was simply having a bad day, I genuinely hope things get better for them. Mistakes happen, and I understand that restaurants can be busy. However, the combination of multiple missing and incorrect items, the refusal to correct or compensate me, and the way my concerns were handled made this an awful experience. Unfortunately, this is a hard pass for me. I wouldn't recommend ordering from here, and I won't be ordering again.

We were a party of 6 and were treated amazing! This was my first time going there after my mom had…read morebeen telling us about this place for... 20+ years! The calamari was thee best calamari I've ever had. It was lightly battered and perfectly cooked. Their lamb chops, incredible! Lobster ravioli, delicious. Chicken piccata, flavorful! Even my 5 year old who tried all the dishes thought it was the best food ever! Service was amazing. We definitely found our new spot for Italian dinners. Ambiance is great. Music is not too loud and it doesn't feel so crowded in there even though all of the tables were filled.

My friends and I recently visited Alexi's Grill for a girls' night. We had dined here a couple of…read moreyears ago and enjoyed it enough to return, so this visit was unfortunately disappointing. The food quality seemed noticeably different from our previous visit. One friend ordered the calamari steak, which was very tough and difficult to cut even with a knife. Another friend ordered the duck entrée. Although she had never tried duck before, the flavor seemed off and tasted as though it had been frozen for too long. She ended up eating mostly the vegetables instead. Unfortunately, even the broccoli was undercooked to the point of being somewhat raw rather than simply al dente. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. The Alfredo sauce was thinner and more watery than expected, and the shrimp was also quite tough. What was most disappointing was the response when the chef (or possibly owner) stopped by to ask how everything was. My friend politely and respectfully shared her concerns about the duck. Rather than acknowledging the feedback, he responded that people fly in from out of state specifically for the duck entrée and essentially shrugged as if there was nothing more to discuss. There was no apology, no offer to replace the meal, and no attempt to make things right. Every restaurant can have an off night, and not every dish will appeal to every guest (which is understandable). When a guest is dissatisfied however, some effort to address the concern goes a long way. We weren't looking for anything unreasonable--just some acknowledgment of the issue and an effort to ensure we left satisfied. On a positive note, we still enjoyed the ambiance and the drinks. The atmosphere was pleasant and made for a nice evening for catching up with friends who I don't get to see very often. Based on this experience however, the food quality and customer service left much to be desired. Given how much we enjoyed our previous visit, this experience was especially disappointing.

We sat up at the bar top and received service from a friendly bartender. It took a little bit of time before we were able to put in our drink order for some martinis.

We ordered the Calamari and Onions rights to split and we LOVED the onions rings primarily because of all the cool, funky sauces that came with it. Be mindful that parking is limited as well as seating inside.

I say that because I feel like it's a hidden gym next to a laundromat that people have probably passed, even though it has been in operation for 65 years! This blink and you'll miss it building has a tiny parking lot with one entrance in and out (beware and be kind). Once you walk into the space it feels like Willy Wonka in that it feels much bigger than it looks! Very quaint and simple in its decor. To the left is a private dining room I'm sure that is for rent with a full bar and one of the last (it seems) walk up salad bars with a fresh variety of ingredients on chilled metal plates, and homemade salad dressings (the 1000 Island is the best I've ever had). Maria is the owner, operator, and in this occasion our waitress showing she wasn't above doing the grunt work. She received hugs and hellos from regulars throughout the night showing her impact on the staff and space. Her Greek accent made us feel warm and welcomed like we were family. Then there was the meal! Known for its Prime Rib we kept it pretty simple. A sirloin beef burger and Prime Rib dinner for the table. An $8 upgrade takes you from 12 to 20 ounce prime rib (if memory serves) with a loaded baked potato and one trip to the salad bar. I believe it was $7 to add a trip to the salad bar for the burger order and was well worth it! At the End of the Day, the only regret was not having the room for the enormous Mud Pie dessert that looked incredible. Maria spoke of retiring so my hope is that someone continues her legacy and Feeney's stays exactly how it is! Any investors wanna go in with me?

We started with the plant base vegan elote and it was quite flavorful.

I ordered the carne asada quesadillas and my Fiance ordered the Napoleon dynamite vegan quesadillas. Everything was hot and fresh. Service was good and the young lady stayed on top of any requests we had during our visit. We will definitely be returning since it is so close to our home.

We stopped in for a late lunch around 3 p.m. and were the only customers in the restaurant for most of the meal. It took quite a while to be acknowledged, get menus, and place our order. The two servers were more focused on their conversation than on helping guests, and it felt like our presence was an inconvenience. The food itself was delicious, but our basket of chips was mostly tiny broken pieces that were difficult to dip in the salsa. Overall, the service overshadowed the meal, and I wish we had picked a different restaurant.
