    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Starliner single pancake with a milk. Happy girl.

    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.

When we arrived, we were told the wait was one hour and decided to go to the bar to start. BEST DECISION EVER! The absolute best service ever! Marissa and the other bartender (I didn't get her name, but sweet and awesome!) They took such good care of us, we will definitely come back next year. Menu recommendations: the beer battered cheese curds, brownie and creme brûlée deserts. The entrees and drinks we ordered were off a seasonal menu, but I'm sure the regular menu is similarly great. Make sure you get the cheese curds though! Chef's kiss

Downstairs host was nice, asked if we wanted to eat upstairs or down. We decided upstairs. They just told us to head up and talk with the host. We went up. Someone from the bar did shout hi! There was no host seen. There was a handful of workers chatting at the bar even the downstairs host came up and walked by us to join the group chatting. Upstairs had 2 tables of 6-10 people, a handful of small parties outside. We stood there for 4-5 minutes before someone in a St. Patrick's day outfit running food said someone would be with us shortly. Waited another few minutes before the host emerged from the bathroom and sat us. Both my husband and I waited tables and I bartended before (10 years experience). We have a lot of patience and understanding. We were sat and not immediately greeted but a woman came up and quickly dropped water off. Her body language was dismissive and only said just "dropping off water". I really thought it might have been another host or busser, that was tired of getting mistaken for a sever. I brushed it off. We waited so much longer before our server (happened to be the same girl that dropped off the water) came back to take our drink order. She was cold and didn't make eye contact. She was very short with us. Left to put the drink order in. She did bring the kids their soft drinks, but again with an attitude. It was as if we were ruining her day by coming in. 10 min went by. In that time, we saw her walk by and again avoid eye contact. Not even a "your bar drinks are being made", or "I am just going to run these dishes back and come back to take your order. " A really nice bartender came back and started talking with us about baseball because we were coming from a spring training game. After waiting longer and still no sign our server was going to come back in a timely manner, I told my husband, that I would rather leave now and not let this server ruin our experience. There are plenty of places around that I would rather give my money too and they will treat us better. We left, on our way out we did let a manager know. They did apologized and asked where we were sitting. Two stars for the nice female bartender that was decked out in St. Patrick's day attire upstairs. Rating is strictly for service because we didn't get to try anything. I am willing to give this place another try. I will update my review if we do.
