The food was fresh and delicious. The service was fast and the diner inside was so neat. The milk shake and veggie burger was excellent.

Had the best takeout tonight using their online system...food was ready within 10 mins which was awesome. When I picked it up I was bummed I didn't actually end up eating at the restaurant because it was a beautiful night and nice and cool under their shade and misters. Plus they have awesome margaritas. The flowers on the tables were gorgeous too. Regardless, had the best homemade Veggie Burger, not a gross fake meat one. It may be one of two I've found in the East Valley that is actually fresh ingredients and made in house. My husband devoured his smash burger and my kids are totally obsessed with the grilled cheese and yummy dipping sauces they have. This place is one of our favorite restaurants in the East Valley for sure!!! read more

Dined at this location twice this weekend. Food was barely warm, and flavorless. You have to order on your phone, which make special requests hard to convey. I don't recommend. Food and drinks take forever to be served. The only benefit is it is in the neighborhood, and they have pretty fresh flowers on the table. read more

Perfect family friendly environment. Daryl our server was great and super sweet. Food is always good. read more

Ordered the kids chicken tenders to give it a shot - for $10 - 2 nice pieces of perfectly crispy chicken and ample amount of perfectly golden crispy salty fries - the homemade ranch is perfect for chicken and fries - so now I will be back to try burgers and onion rings and maybe get their crispy chicken sanwhich to go !! Place was busy but staff was on top of it !! Check this place out it is a sure winner for your taste buds!! read more

Stopped by to check this place out. I had the Steadfast double burger and it was fantastic. I'll definitely be getting it again. The burger doesn't come with any sides so you have to order them separate. The server seemed knowledgeable about the food and it's origins and he is the one that recommended the burger -- I'm glad he did. They do have a selection of beers on draft. Sitting outside this time of year can't be beat! read more

Met a few friends today for lunch. We ordered a burger, Rueben and the cheese curd/onion ring mix. The service was very spotty. We had to repeatedly ask for things like water and napkins. The young man who served us must have been new. He seemed overwhelmed and a little confused. The food was super delicious though. The onion rings were small but beer batter style- my favorite. The Rueben had scant meat, but I like them with less meat. The burger a friend had looked great and she enjoyed it. There are only picnic tables to sit at and it's outside seating. There is shade available. Prices are on the high side, but it's so fresh it's was worth it. Overall we really like it. I'd be worried if it were crowded with that server that it would be a frustrating experience. We will go back though. read more

I've never had anything bad from steadfast, the food is consistently good. Please bring back the breakfast sandwhich!!! That was the bestttttttt read more

Would give zero stars if possible I understand that Friday nights can be busy, but the way my situation was handled was completely unacceptable. I arrived with a party of twelve and placed my order first -- chicken strips and a side salad. The rest of my group (eleven people) placed their orders afterward. After waiting an hour and thirty minutes, the servers finally brought out my sister and her family's meals, but mine still hadn't arrived. I asked one of the servers about my order and mentioned that I had ordered before my sister, only to be told -- quite rudely -- "We have hundreds of tickets to deal with!" before the server walked away. I went inside to ask about my order, and staff couldn't even locate it in their system. The manager asked what I had ordered, and when I told him, he offered to have it made. At that point, I declined and asked for a refund since everyone else was already eating. He said he'd be happy to issue one, but then completely ignored me. When I asked again as he was walking away, he told me the refund wouldn't be processed until the end of the night. In the end, I received no food, no refund at that time, and by the time I returned to the table, everyone else had finished eating. Very disappointing experience and extremely poor customer service. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves communication and accountability with both staff and guests. read more

We tried the rice bowl, Reuben, and chicken sandwich burger at Steadfast Diner. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared, and the portion sizes were okay--not too big, not too small. The Reuben had a nice balance of flavors, the chicken sandwich was crispy and satisfying, and the rice bowl was a solid choice. For appetizers, we ordered two of the Farmer's Daughter. The flavors were great, but we were hoping for more onion rings and cheese curds--most of the plate was fries, which was a bit disappointing. One downside is that there's no restroom inside, though a public one is nearby. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. Overall, a good spot with tasty food, though a few tweaks could make it even better! read more

We sat for 20 minutes before we were acknowledged. The food took 90 minutes and it really wasn't worth the effort or cost.

Amazing food and service. Enjoyed a nice dinner while kids also played in grassy area next to us. This place will be a go to when visiting Mesa, AZ. We had classic burgers, chicken sandwich, fries, two kids meals. All delicious. read more

Way too much sauce in the burger, which is something I never thought I'd say. But I'm a huge burger fan, and these burgers were gross. What's with the skinny patty that is way too large for the bun, and then it's drowning in sauce on top of it, so it's impossible to eat, falling apart, and a mess. Also, just doesn't taste good. This is the worst burger sauce. Not a fan. read more

I know it's Friday but ordered took 14 minutes to get drinks and 45 minutes to get food. The food pastrami was hot and tasty, salad was $$$ and small portions. I would give it one more chance, I think they need a bigger kitchen to handle orders read more

We are so fortunate to have this restaurant right there in Eastmark! We order take out or stop in for a bite almost once a week at this point - the food is great quality & delicious. The service is fantastic as well. Tonight when I went to order online and got an error message, I called in and they picked up on the second ring and took care of me right away. We love the burgers but the salads are delicious as well! read more

$15 for a tiny crap burger with no fries. Also ordered shakes and they were not good, service took forever and messed up our order each visit. Won't be visiting again. Also read this place didn't pass health inspection so that's no bueno. read more

Disappointed! We were looking forward to this being a decent place just down the road, but there is no reason to go back again. We tried twice a few weeks apart with no luck. Poor quality, poor service and overpriced. Honestly, I wouldn't mind the prices if the food was good, but that was not our experience. Pros: location Cons: everything else read more

Steadfast is truly great farm to table food in the heart of Eastmark. Our family has been a few different times and the food is always incredible. Since opening it looks like they've worked out the service kinks due to demand & staffing and our last couple visits have been pretty efficient and timely, but certainly not a place I'd go in a time crunch as the kitchen is very tiny and apt to get backed up during the dinner rush. Overall, it's tough to beat some great outside dining in Spring in AZ the menu and drink list is incredible and work well together. Can't wait to head back read more

Really bummed about this. The pastrami burger wasn't bad, but not at all worth the price. Burger, fries, and shake was ..... $34.00! Far too expensive for a hamburger lunch. Won't be back. read more

We saw the Fox 10 morning news report on Steadfast. The food looked amazing. We love the concept so went early afternoon. It is a very cute venue for Eastmark Park. All outdoor seating...you would not be able to dine in the summer. The food was nothing as it appeared on TV. I ordered the smash burger. The two paper thin patties were not visible outside the bun as shown on the news program. It was tasty but very small for $15. I don't think the meat totaled 1/4 lb. Mostly bun and sauce. I couldn't even taste the homemade pickle and very little lettuce on board. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken breast was so small the bun hid it. Not the huge crispy breast presented for the TV show. He said the chicken was very dry. Disappointed for $15z We ordered the farmers daughter ($12) which is a basket of fries, cheese kurds and onion rings. The cheese Kurds were really tasty. The onion rings were very thin and small. Definitely not the large rings shown as a side on the news program. The fries were leftovers. They were just small pieces. So small you couldn't dip in ketchup. Very disappointed in the portion sizes for the price. We ordered a coke and an Arnold Palmer. The Arnold Palmer was $4.50. Mostly ice in a grande size cup. No sweetener available on tables. I had to ask. There were no servers around to wave down. They go hide behind a gate. My husband asked for a refill of his Coke when we were almost finished with lunch and they returned with plain ice tea. Ridiculous. Service did not deserve a tip. Yes, I left one. I want for this to be a success, cute idea, but I don't see it happening. You can't make magazine food for a TV ad opportunity and then make subpar food the same day the news report aired. $63 for lunch with the tip. Ridiculous. Won't be back. read more

Saw a post about this places farm to table style burgers and wanted to try them. Drove out to Eastmark after a workout and it was totally worth the drive. Somewhere I'll be back and bring people to. Servers were helpful right away, you can seat yourself. It's a cute little place with plenty of outside seating facing the park so also lots of open space to run or picnic too. Food was awesome! They make everything in house and I mean everything. The ketchup the mustard the ranch and the burger sauce too. They have great shakes too my gf got a cookies and cream shake and it was delicious. A cute place to enjoy good grass fed burgers and a drink. Nice and clean space with a homey feel to it. Check it out! Good stuff! read more

Steadfast Diner - Double cheese burger and the Steadfast double cheese burger with onion rings and fries. - Salad Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Food was good! I had their Steadfast double smash burger and the sauce was awesome. You also need to get their onion rings for sure! But our waitress Avery just made our dining experience wonderful. She was very attentive, friendly and quite bubbly!! We sat inside the bar area , which was very tight and small but it's better than outside where it was 104 degrees this afternoon ..... but they do have misters outside that helped. Oh and their affogato was a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a DOUBLE shot of espresso where most places only pour 1 shot! Bravo!! read more

Such a great spot to take the kids! We love hanging out on the patio while they run around on the big grassy area out front. The food is super fresh and tasty, and the staff is always friendly and on top of things. Perfect place for a laid-back family day read more

This place has changed my life. I am a smash burger connoisseur and this is hands down the best smash burger in Arizona. It has been a staple in our house since it took over the Handlebar. We love placing our order online and the food is done super fast. *Eastmark residents can place their order poolside and have it brought to you!! Everyone that works here is really nice and they never mess up our order, (despite several special requests). Inside and outside are always kept clean and tidy, which is hard with the hot temps and flies in the Arizona weather. I have absolutely no complaints about Steadfast Diner, and even though I am totally addicted to the steadfast double burger and onion rings (don't forget the extra steadfast sauce, it's insanely addicting), I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

The food was good, no complaints there. But the service could've been better, our waiter wasn't very attentive and forgot our drinks. We ended up having to grab our own to-go boxes and waited quite a while just to wrap things up. Just felt a bit unorganized. Very cute diner. read more

Food and service were very good! Outdoor seating gives a picnic like setting and has misters with shade.

Food is good! But Come on, $15 for a chicken sandwich, without side?????? In Mesa, Arizona's??????

Adorable little neighborhood spot with good diner food and surprisingly fantastic cocktails. The Appaloosa Bones might be the best old fashioned I've ever had and the chicken fingers taste like they were freshly breaded in-house. Servers are always smiling, attentive and accommodating. read more

Glad to see this diner back owners with new ownership. We checked it out and it was outstanding. Burger was good and cheese curds were outstanding as was our salad. read more

Our favorite spot to go for a chill dinner with our family. The kids love running around in the grass. The cheeseburgers are always a hit for the kids. My husband loves the crispy chicken sandwich and I love the burgers (+gf friendly bun!) and prickly pear margarita. read more

Food was excellent and the ambience can't be beat! Cheese curds were delicious. We'll definitely be back.

This place was amazing! The staff was on point with service. They let us know right away there would be a wait. I liked the outside seating and look of the whole place. And the FOOD was outstanding! read more

4 health code violations! Oh my goodness that isn't good for your customers. Hope they can clean up their act before someone gets really sick. read more

I was really excited to try the place came Saturday 10:35am on 2/1/25 waited and 11am comes we are by the door, and waiting and the people just sat down get served. I understand the place is new, was hoping to try farm fresh local fair but after waiting 25 mins it as frustrating read more

Was really excited to try this place with my mom and aunt. It pains me to say this but I feel like the owners/cooks need to know... The food was god awful. I have never had so much grease in one meal. Couldn't even eat the fries cause they were so infused with grease. The burger was leaking grease. The cheese curds . The prices are crazy high!!! $15 for a smash burger? $16 for a Ruben that was leaking grease? Chicken planks that were expensive and loaded with grease? With no sides with the sandwiches? $3.75 for an iced tea? With no refills? I mean it was barely tea. More like water hinted with tea flavor. $12 for a "farmers daughter" that consisted of a hand full of the greasiest fries I've ever had, maybe 3-4 mediocre sized greasy onion rings and a hand full of cheese curds that I struggled to find the cheese hidden within the heavy greasy breading. I'm actually shocked with all the 4-5 star reviews. All 3 of us left feeling nauseas. Sorry Steadfast. Please try to conquer the grease! Server was nice, but service was REALLY slow and it wasn't that busy. Finally, Eastmark, do something with your restroom (singular). No TP, pee all over the toilets and floors, no hand towels, and the place smelled like an outhouse. read more

Such a fun and cute stop to hang out with kids, friends and family. We've enjoyed many things from their menu but the ruban sandwich remains our fave! And an ice cold lemonade on these hot summer days. Staff is always very helpful and friendly. read more

Incredible food and service! The veggie burger is the bomb. Good value for the food quality, freshness, and variety.

The food was very good which is why I'm giving them a four. That being said they still have some kinks to work out. I know they're new and still figuring thing about but it took over an hr to get our food. They also currently only have two high chairs which for such a family friendly outdoor restaurant they really should have more as people were like arguing over them read more

I understand it can get overwhelming sometimes with a fast food restaurant , but we waited 2 hours for 3 chicken strips that was soggy and cold and a side salad, that was too salty to eat. services was down right disrespectful when asked about our orders. read more
