After reading many positive Yelp! reviews, we decided to give Wild Berry Diner a try on 7/4/15. It was close by, and there was no wait for a table, which was a plus on a holiday weekend. We both ordered from the list of specials. I had the Wild Berry Benedict and my friend had the regular Eggs Benedict. The eggs were poached nicely, but that's where the goodness ended. I chose the Wild Berry Benedict because it was served over cornbread instead of an English muffin. The cornbread tasted like it had been frozen (or refrigerated too long) and was then reheated in the microwave. The "Hollandaise" sauce was abysmal. It tasted and looked like it was made with chicken bouillon cubes; it was very salty and did not taste anything like real Hollandaise sauce. The home fries were raw in the middle and also extremely salty. My friend's meal was mediocre at best, especially with the faux Hollandaise sauce. Service was interesting. Not terrible, but not good. Next time, I'm cooking at home. read more

Simply amazing!! Such a cute and comfortable diner makes me feel like I am back home in my small town! The food was really delicious and very large portion size! My boyfriend eats a ton and this place filled him up, also inexpensive. Although it's not a place you would drive by and think we should eat there it's definitely a hidden gem! Will be returning here! They serve breakfast all day and have homemade biscuits! Yuuum!! read more

I would love to give a 5 star rating except my mashed potatoes and vegetables come to the table cold. I haven't said anything and even though they are cold they are still good. Service: The staff is friendly and they are great about waiting on you. They are very helpful when your wanting to know what the specials are, which changes on a daily basis. The Food: For me I love a down right good home made chicken fried steak dinner. I'm one of those good ol texas boys that loves to eat meat and potatoes. The potatoes are really good and seem to be real potatoes. If they are fake, then they have fooled me. The brown gravy I usually ask for on the side is really good. You can also get a homemade biscuit and that by itself is a meal of it's on. You can tell its homemade. The best part of all is the chicken fried steak. You can look at it and tell the batter is from scratch and nice and crunchy and very flavorful when it goes down the tube. If your looking for a really great chicken fried steak dinner thats homemade with all the fixins......this is the place to go to. Got room for desert? You are crazy if you do. Be prepared for an all time mini pie maybe a 10 incher or less. Either way it's big and they have plenty of different homemade pies to chose from, just ask the waitress. I ordered the Banana Cream, let's just say it was bananas.....no way could I eat it all. Needless to say I brought mom here before and I'll continue to go here. read more

Nice little diner type place with good food for the price with huge portions. They have lots of daily specials which is nice for variety.

Great fare on the menu. One thing I enjoy is having the option of ordering breakfast all day. I would recommend the gyro omelette. Good home cooking is how I would describe the cuisine. Great atmosphere for family. The owner is very generous and compassionate with children. read more

Visited this location last Friday evening. This restaurant was packed! There was someone who was playing the bagpipes as well. The staff was pleasant and the food was decent. Someone at our table ordered the fish platter (all you can eat), another ordered the meatloaf, and I ordered a special from the menu that was some type of turkey cranberry sandwich. Each of us also ordered side salads. I ordered honey mustard with mine and it was the best honey mustard I have had in a long time. This place has a unique vibe and I will return. read more

Stopped in for breakfast with the family and not only was the food great - it was the most welcome I've felt at a restaurant, ever. The owners are warm and charming and have cultivated an atmosphere where guests feel like part of the family. The French toast and bacon were a hit, and the plate-filling cinnamon roll with thick icing was worth the splurge. We just found our kitchen away from home - can't wait to go back! read more

A very cute place. You can tell the food is home cooked and they give you a lot for your money, very reasonable pricing. Only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is because the building is definitely dated and could use some updating, it was sort of musky while we were there. Food and service are 5 star though. read more

Delicious! Simple home cooked food that leaves you full and happy. Great place to go to after church and relax.

Horrible food not worth what you pay for it, beef in burger was old and chicken the same old and frozen not recommended at all

Very good breakfast and great service. We had coffee and water within two minutes of sitting down, and our cups were never allowed to get empty. The sausage was some of the best breakfast sausage I've had for years, and the bacon was good as well. Good french toast, perfectly cooked eggs, what more could you ask for? read more

Horrible place. Came here because it has great reviews. The host was not friendly. Never greeted us just asked how many. I don't mind waiting to be sat that's normal, especially when the place is good, but after we were sat the waitress who sat us never once asked if we wanted anything to drink just sat us and walked away. We sat there waiting for about 10-15 mins. Several waitresses walked passed us never once acknowledging us. I've worked as a server before I know what it's like being busy but have been to very busy restaurants and had better service. We finally got up and left. No one even asked if anything was wrong. So we came to crackers and co. Got seated right away and our waitress was right with us. read more

We ordered our drinks, and the waitress asked if we needed a few minutes to order, we said yes, and she never came back. She went to the tables next to us, but wouldn't look at us. We paid, but she didn't write a ticket, and the lady at the front asked her for a ticket, since we didn't know how much it really was. The waitress just looked at the lady and shrugged her shoulders, and walked away. So I paid $7 and left. read more

Amazing breakfast food and especially loved the warm welcome of being led to my seat by the hand. Already been back 2x in a week for breakfast. read more

Always a great place. GEORGE and his crew never disappoint. I've been coming here since 2010 and you're treated like family.

While in Mesa looking for variety to please all. Nice diner with great staff. Many daily specials to choose from. We were offered a small cup of lentil soup on the house and it was very good. We ordered three different types of food and they were all delicious. Keeping this one bookmarked. read more

My favorite breakfast place of all time ! Staff is so sweet ,caring, and fast. Restaurant is cute ,homey, clean. They are very fast about cleaning tables. Food takes slightly longer than most chain restaurants but it's for all the extra love ! The food is as close to breakfast come cooking as you'll get without the mess. read more

The breakfast go to place in east Mesa large platters never ending coffee great service George and company make you feel like part of the family read more

Great simple food at an affordable price!! Friendly staff, family owned I highly recommend this place!!!

Well, this place isn't fancy, but breakfast was good. We had quick, energetic service from super nice people. My son had a BLT. I had eggs, sausage and biscuit with gravy. Overall, classic breakfast food with little fanfare. It was good but nothing outstanding. I would go back, but don't expect anything other than classic diner food. read more

Excellent food! Excellent service!!! My daughter (18months) and I went to breakfast there this morning and everyone that knows the attention span of a toddler knows how challenging it may be when dining out! But we had the best experience this morning! Very nice and friendly waitress!! Food came out super fast! And was so delicious! I had the French toast deluxe and my daughter had the kids pancakes! Jimmy came out and said hi and was super friendly and kind! As my daughter started loosing her patience, George came to our table and was so sweet and kind to my baby! He even shared some of her pancakes!! She thought it was so funny! Great food, great prices, great service, great atmosphere!!! I'm just so happy we live close!!!!!!! read more

Spoiled Food Alert. Stopped at the Wild Berry for lunch today Wife ordered crab salad on a croissant and I a burger. The crab salad was imitation meat (disgusting sweetened mystery fish) two bites was all she could stand. My burger a mushroom & swiss had spoiled meat. On first bite I got a mouth full of ammonia gas from the spoiled meat. Also the cheese was completely melted from the meat and the mushrooms tasted like the tin can they came from. The server was rude it was as if she were doing us a favor by waiting on us. NEVER AGAIN ZERO Stars for this place read more

First visit for breakfast. Great food. Eggs cooked perfectly. Will certainly return for an encore.

YOU MUST TRY THIS WONDERFUL PLACE!!! I can't say enough great things about this place but here goes... Great friendly service and staff! Food is crazy delicious! Portions are large and very filling. This is a great place to bring family, lots of options, breakfast served all day. Kids meals are on the bigger side which i love because my kiddos actually got full for $2.99!!! We cant wait to bring family in from out of town so they can be impressed! read more

This restaurant was horrible! The floor is filthy they drag a huge specials board around the restaurant to each person that comes in. A man there, must be the owner, is loud and the food was very bad. They actually serve veg-all that comes from a can as part of a dinner. The brown gravy was like a gel and it tasted horrible! I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Got 2 orders of catfish. Not as good as we hoped for. Heavily breaded and very heavy. Not what we were expecting at all. The pie was ok.

We absolutely love this place! We were seated quickly, the owner was so funny and welcoming. The service was on point! Our drinks stayed full the whole time (great coffee!) The food came right out warm, delicious and neatly served! Such great portion with a very reasonable price! And the pies... the pies are definitely the best! I highly recommend this local jewel! read more

My husband and I were visiting in town. We came across Wild Berry Diner and had to try it out for lunch. I ordered the chef salad with blue cheese dressing and it was delicious. My husband had the Gyro sandwich and he raved about it after we left. Great service and great options on the menu. We will be back to visit. read more

Drove by this place many times and always commented how busy it was. Now I know why...the owner and all the employees are super friendly. My boyfriend and I both had the Chicken Fried Steak and egg breakfast. It was homemade and hand breaded. The best I have ever had! I tried it with the red potatoes and boyfriend had the made from scratch shredded hashbrowns. After trying mine he said the only thing he would change is next time he is getting the red potatoes. They were chunked with bell peppers and fried with a nice crispy skin. We can't wait to return to try dinner. The menu has a nice selection of food from Pot roast to Greek dinners to Italian sausage and spaghetti and meatballs, catfish, even liver and onions. Everything is fresh and homemade. read more

The waitress gave us excellent service. (Very friendly). The was there in a timely manner. I had the pulled pork barbecue sandwich. It was great. So if you are looking for a great place to eat, this is at. read more

We ate here on Mother's Day. We were greeted at the door by a very nice man. The service was excellent. The food was fabulous. We highly recommend this place. read more

I had high hopes for this place. 5 people in our party and everyone thought it was SUB-PAR food. Its like they aren't trying anymore. Would be a great place for the show RESTAURANT IMPOSABLE to visit. Service was outstanding, the waitress took care of our every need and was always there asking if she could get us anything. I had the meat loaf dinner, their was two pieces of the thinnest meat loaf I have ever had in my lifetime. The gravy was very salty. My wife couldn't even eat her meal, she order the pork dinner. She said it was tolerable. One of our party ordered French dressing for her salad, she said it tasted like plain old Ketchup. Maybe we hit them on a bad night. Maybe will try them for breakfast and give them the benefit of the doubt. I hope they do better. read more

Great home cooking kind of a dive but really great people and service The lunch specials are the bomb The Greek owner is a fun character and always fun to visit with Give this place a try you won't be disappointed read more

They have great service here and everyone is so friendly. I had the chicken souvlaki over rice pilaf and greek salad it was delicious. Hubby had pork chops mashed potatoes mixed vegetables and a salad. We both walk away full and happy read more

We love this place! Good, solid breakfast food. The Owner always makes our kids feel so special. There is a real community feeling. The biscuits are the things dreams are made of. We've been more times than I can count and will keep on going. Nothing "fancy" but a perfect breakfast spot. read more

Service is friendly and efficient. Our breakfast was ok. Think I might have been more impressed if I had tried the huge roll in the pastry display case. Coffee was hot and I didn't have to drown it with cream to be drinkable. Everything was ok, Not much more I can say. read more

Wild Berry Diner is the BEST!! The food is amazing, the prices are good, it's family oriented and just feels like home. I'm going to try to add a picture iof the owner George taking my grandson with him to seat people and give them menus. George asked James if he wanted to work with him and of course he did!! He even gave him money afterwards. This is not the first time George has made my grandson feel special and we always feel like family!!! read more

Wild Berry Diner - Diners Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

See all

Very thoughtful owners and staff. Big time snowbird hangout but the food is good, big portions, and affordable.

I've been to this cafe a couple of times now, and I always feel welcome from the moment I walk in the door. The food is amazing, especially for the price! Good, home cooked meals, friendly staff (the owner makes you feel like family), and low prices are a great combo! Excellent choice of you're looking to eat out on a budget. Just remember to properly tip your server! read more

The prices here are great - the customers are usually seniors are a fixed income - you can not beat the prices, they are amazing and the food is pretty good. It is not organic or healthy for you and they do not use the best ingredients - they sell atlantic salmon which is all farm raised and linked to various diseases. so be careful about ever eating atlantic salmon. the meat loaf was very salty, the chicken soup was okay also lots of salt.. the rice pudding was terrible very bland, the pies were very sweet but the Bread Pudding was great...If you are looking for a place with some great food items which not exactly healthy ingredients for great prices then this is it - plus the staff is awesome - it is a great place to catch a burger or pancakes plus the bread pudding is great. read more
