    If you're looking for a classic American diner, this is it. We ordered the Brian' and Holland burger(with bacon and cheese), both 10/10. The worst part was waiting for my bill, maybe they didn't want us to leave?

    A true diner. The food is simple and delicious. I had the mushroom bacon burger with onion rings and it was perfect. My daughter had the kids' chicken tenders meal and she was very happy. My son had the trucker's special with French toast. My husband had an omelet with fried potatoes and a pancake. Everything was delicious! It seems to be busy and has limited seating, so be prepared to wait. And their restrooms are very clean (my daughter was very impressed).

    This place is historic and family owned. Best diner by far. Off Hwy 18 towards Air Expressway. This diner has been on the cooking channel with Bobby Flay and other opportunities have taken place there. There food is amazing and they serve from early in the morning to mid afternoon. I highly recommend stopping by.

    Been wanting to try this place but I was always passing by on Monday when they are closed. Finally got to go on a Sunday. Food is terrific. I got a Baldy Mesa (chili/cheese omelette) and my wife had the chicken fried steak. Very satisfying. It's very small (intimate?), but the service and atmosphere is top notch.

    Great diner spot on old route 66. They make some of my favorite burgers I've had. The Brian burger and Hot Pattie Grilled on Rye being my favorites standard from the menu. I've always had good interactions and service from the staff. They keep my ice tea filled and check in regularly. If I need something, I just ask, and they get it for me. I love the diner experience; eating at the counter and watching the cooks cook the food on the flattop in front of everyone. It's cool to see so such a mix of locals, workers and travelers come in to eat.

    A must stop. Co workers and I had breakfast while on a work trip. We got to talking with owner and her daughter, I was happy to hear the story of the place and that her daughter left her career to continue on the restaurant. Food was very good and the atmosphere was awesome!

    This was a quintessential Route 66 Roadside Diner! Super cozy, tucked away between hillsides the food was really good and the exterior of the building had an amazing assortment of flowers! The Burger was Fantastic and the Patty Melt was also really good!
