    Everything about this lace was excellent. Set up as a 50's dinner. Lots of memorable on the walls. With two old gas pumps. Friendly helpful people working there. Playing 50's and 60's music. I got the F250 burger. Way more than I usually eat. Hamburger patties were thick. Next time I will only do one patty . Lots of different foods on the menu to explore. This is one of those places you want to return to many times. They treat you like they are really glad you are there and want you to return.

    This place is located in the middle of car dealership. Soon as you walk in, it gives off the retro diner vibe. You pick up the menu then order what you want at cashier station. I had Continental Burger and it was pretty good. Definition worth come back to.

    For the price...it was solid. Small little spot that just makes food. I appreciate the little things. Fresh cut fries were awesome and my patty melt was meat on rye bread with some onions. You can't mess that up. My buddy got a nice omelet and we both got sodas for under $20 total. This little diner is nestled in a cool little mall with a truck dealership. Don't be scared, go grab some grub. They are super nice in there.

    I ordered something at this cute little diner that's on the don Sanderson Ford property, and it's so quaint and delicious. I ordered the Ranchero with a side of onion rings, and I highly recommend it. I got mine to go, but you can eat there on regular plates as well.

    My only complaint is the employees don't wear masks and 60% of the customers don't wear masks. Being that Arizona is the number one hotspot for Covid in the world I don't think that's very smart. That being said, the employees are always friendly and helpful and the food is fantastic and if you don't see it, they will make it custom. An easy five star rating had they been safety conscious.

    This is a very cute diner. It takes you back in time. The service is great. The food was wonderful. I love the music from back in the 50s and 60s. This is a must have for a brunch if you're in the area it's not just a meal.

    I really liked this place. The overall vibe was great and the service was so friendly. Reminded me of an old school diner. The burger was good too! I got the Deuce Coupe with green chile. I also tried the Caesar salad which was okay. The chicken was the best part on the salad!

    I never knew this place existed until my husband needed to drop off his work truck at Sanderson Ford. This little hidden gem is in the parking lot of the service department. This review is based solely on beverages, customer service and cleanliness. So my son and I thought we would just wait in our vehicle for my husband but it was a hot October afternoon. Yep a hot October afternoon. Too hot to sit outside and wait. We went inside this cute little diner for something cool to drink. A Coke for me, my son a chocolate shake. The lady at the counter was extremely nice and pleasant. She filled my drink. The cook made the shake. They use Thrifty Ice Cream. How cool is that? I can't wait to go back and try the food. They have daily breakfast and lunch specials for $4.99. And when the weather is a little more agreeable they have ramada covered tables outside. Everything about this experience was pleasant. The diner was clean and reminded me ofmy favorite New Jersey diner.

    Hidden gem. Next door getting line-x in my truck. Definitely a step back in time. Like a hidden, 5-n-diner. No kids menu, and you prepay for your food. Then seat yourself. Other than those things, food was simple and decent. Would stop in again if in neighborhood.

    Such an enjoyable evening. We were in the area after attending a speakeasy and wanted to grab some…read moredelicious food. We located this Location based on one of my YELP friends that I've been following for years as she really loves Aftermath. On this occasion, we were lucky enough that they had live music. The musician was fantastic and just really talented. We ended up sitting in a nice cozy booth where we could stretch out and feel comfortable and relax. For drink drinks we ordered the old-fashioned and also the big easy. We both enjoyed our drinks and moved on to ordering Andre's. My husband ordered the aftermath burger and I ordered the meatloaf. All in all, we were really happy with our selections and actually ended up getting a second round of cocktails as they were really delicious. For this round of transition to the Cabernet red wine, which is Dauo Wines and it was really tasty. We'll definitely be back, hope that this musician continues to play live music. The drink or music on Sunday night, really made it a fun date night experience.

    Solid 2.5 type of place…read more Food- Extraordinarily Mid Happy Hour - We ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice with Crab and wings. Kimchi fried rice was a good portion but bland - no flavor of kimchi or anything really... Aftermath wings with the dill ranch was okay- wings were dry but ranch made up for it. Really didn't get the house hot sauce on it at all. Burger- Highly touted on social media for an amazing burger but honestly for $24 each, you're better off getting a burger anywhere else. We ordered both the Aftermath Burger and Jalapeño Burger. Nothing stood out in a good or bad way so... forgettable. Service- Slow. Only one bartender who mostly was slow. Drinks and water sat empty for quite a while we ate. For a total of $120+tip, it was really middle of the pack.

Comfortable, sorta on the dark side. Classy. As I was not driving today, I decided to try their smoked Old Fashioned. Excellent -- and the dark cherries they use are the perfect addition to the cocktail. (The glass is coated with smoke from a smoldering piece of pecan wood, and the cocktail was served with a cloud of smoke under a coaster covering the glass.) The pig sickles ( ribs) were the perfect chance to make a pig of myself. Had the two meat plate, pig sickles and barbecued pulled chicken, If you like corn, you must have the side of corn with your dinner. The barbecue beans were delicious. Our server did a magnificent job tending to our drinks, appetizer, and food orders -- despite being very busy (the place was packed! -- and seemed like she was in constant motion. Very nice individual who liked la Prices? It was expensive, but the best barbecue always is. Eating isn't cheap. It was well worth every dollar spent. All in all, it was a perfect dinner. The perfect parting gift: a small paper bag containing four small donuts, coated with cinnamon. Our bag didn't make it home... I think we've found the perfect place to bring our family and out-of-town guests for dinner.

My wife had a steak and shrimp combo and I had the Key West chicken. Servings were very reasonable for the price and the food was delicious. My wife's steak was cooked to perfection but did taste extremely salty - we did make a comment both to the server and in the on-site review requested by the table side payment app. I would recommend anyone ordering their steaks to be sure to request that they go lighter on the salt. Other than that everything was perfect. My wife had the carrot cake dessert, of which I also had a taste, and we both highly recommend it. Service was also attentive and courteous as was our greeting by the maitre d'. There are so many tempting menu offerings that we will definitely need to be making multiple return visits despite the distance, as we are Northeast Valley residents. I would love to see an additional Cheddars open closer to our home.
