Good food & great atmosphere, prices not bad for what you get. Met friends there and all of our meals were great and they serve breakfast all day - what more can you ask for? The waitress we had was great and she was right on top of all of our needs. We'll be back.

This place needs a good scrubbing! EVERY INCH OF IT. just had lunch and to tell you the truth, I wanted to leave before our food arrived. after ordering I used the women's bathroom to wash my hands and ick! looks like they wipe the surface of things only to move the dirt and yucky stuff to the edges. everywhere I looked there was crude. the faucets, the edge of the sink, the counter edges, the floors (oh, the floors!! gross). I walked back to our booth and told my husband if he wasn't so hungry we'd leave. then I check out the booth, the table and even the window ledge and blinds. again, not what you want in a restaurant. of course I looked at the silverware and just couldn't believe it. and I don't blame the person who cleans, I blame the manager. its their job to check all of this. my feeling is if the bathroom/tables/dinnerware/windows are this bad, what does the kitchen look like??? won't be back to this place. there are so many other places right in the area.

Ordered the chicken fried steak with a cup of clam chowder. The food was quite good though the steamed vegetables were a little bland. Service was good and the waitress was polite. The big problem was the long wait (Friday night in a busy area so expected).

I've been here a couple of times and I was kind of disappointed over the burgers. Some of them are good and others are not. One thing you can't go wrong on though is their milk shakes! The milk shakes are why we keep going back.

Food was average service was pleasant. Place was clean and food was good. Had issues with card reader and took a long time to process. Next day noticed several charges for different amounts. Called in to straighten out and manager/owner was going to call back...no call. Next day eve this time evening manager says the manager/owner will call later after they check the tickets. Gave him all the data incl ticket info and tracking details. No call. Wrote concern to corporate and web. No call and no return. After 1 week charges did get resolved on bank statement. Still no contact. These things happen and I do not believe it was intentional. I would have expected some kind of personal contact. Not going to visit this location or any others due to the way this situation was handled by local and corporate. My repeat business is unimportant and the only effort for any resolve was simply to answer my banks investigation. See ya!

The atmosphere is great, like a real 50's diner. The jukeboxes on the tables are just for show, don't work, would have been nice if they did. The raspberrry ice tea and strawberry lemonade were great, real flavor. We ordered chicken noodle soup which was good, but skimpy on the chicken. $3 for a super small cup. The pot roast was good, again, skimped on the meat. The corn beef sandwich had great flavor, but again was very skimpy on the meat. Service was great, but the portions could have been better.

We dine here often, and are NEVER disappointed in the food. Their breakfasts are hands down the best of any neighboring typical breakfast place. Their burgers are fresh, juicy & made to order, fries, onion rings, always generous portions. The servers are all very good, fast, attentive and friendly. Over the years we've eaten probably most items on the menu, we've never walked out hungry or dissatisfied. Would HIGHLY recommend this place.

Cute reminiscent "diner "with an unfortunate corporate feel. The food is good enough for what it is. Cutesy 3/4 attempt at a 50's diner. Not much else to say

We love 5 and Diner for their breakfast. We usually go on Sunday mornings and after taking our order, the food is usually out in 10 minutes. Fast and good! My husband loves their sausage patties, they're like McDonalds. Be sure to sit in Mary's section, she's awesome!

Pleasant experience here a throw back to a 50s setting. Promptly greeted and sat smilels everywhere. Ordered a cherry coke was deliscious with a cherry on top. A extensive menu pancakes to burgers. Miticulously clean. Servers wear their hair clean cut and 50s style. Ordered a burger with frys sorry forgot to take pic was sooo good. Will i be back again yesss price very resonable

As far as diners go, this one was excellent and the reason for 5 stars is because of how good it was. The interior and exterior are reminiscent of the old time diner, but with a lot of these places the food falls far short of expectations. That was not the case at 5&diner. It's clean and the service was great, with 50's music playing. I had the meatloaf which was better then Mom's and hubby had the Mrs. Cleaver pot roast. Both great dishes at an affordable price made even better with milkshakes that were awesome. A great find here in the Phoenix area well worth a stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Jade W.
I like 5 & Diner. I love the oldies music and their burgers are some of the best I've had. Always juicy and delicious. I ordered the Big Texan which has bbq sauce and an onion ring on Texas toast. It was yummy and very filling with all the fries. Mmm mm! Good lunch with my best friend. Their breakfast is good too. And don't forget about the milkshakes!

I am also surprised by the low reviews, how can McDs next door score higher. I came here with my 2 1/2year old. Very nice employees. Food is typical diner food. Very generous portions. Who finishes, thank goodness for to go box. I am a bit shocked how big the kids meal is. 2 very big Mickey shaped pancakes w/2 large slices of bacon. My little eater has plenty left over, I could've just shared. The place is very busy for a Saturday night. I will definately be back. I would also recommend it for a cheap, quick bite. :) I hope they keep getting good ratings.

I ordered the big texan. The texan was basically a hamburger and bacon on toast. But dont get me wrong, it was still delicious ! The food was falling out from the toast seeing as how they cut the sandwich in half. Overall, my girlfriend and i enjoyed the food and service! I would reccomend this to my family, and will more than likely become a regular here !

My first time here and with the franchise. Came in last night after eight in the evening, the manager greeted us and told us that shakes and appetizers were two dollars off. We ordered the Kettle Chips with no peppers, I was surprised. I had no idea what they were my bf did and it was really good. Then he got the New Yorker while I got the Philly Cheese Steak. Both were really good. Then we got one chocolate shake and split it between us. Considering a long day after Christmas decorations and shopping, this was needed and we were so hungry. I wouldn't order the appetizer for myself because even though I shared it, all that food made me want to die after we left but my taste buds were happy. Lol Staff was super super nice, polite and attentive with our needs. I don't know why there is only three stars for this place but I think it's improved from whatever problems it's had in the past.

If I could choose no stars for this place I would. The only thing that was decent was the waitress. She was super sweet. First, I have never had fish and chips that was not edible. Until now that is. The grease was literally pooled on my plate. Even after soaking it up with a napkin it was swimming. I cut into it and the fish wasn't even cooked. Gross My friend ordered the pot roast. One bite and she was done. I think her words were something akin to "dog food." If this wasn't bad enough, we actually got charged for this crap. Don't waste your time with this place. I certainly won't.

Went for breakfast with my wife. I have to say one of the best breakfast places I've been too in a long time. The sausage links are fantastic, eggs cooked perfect. Very pleased. Service was good. The only reason 4 stars is the waitress kept filling my coffee to the rim, there was no room to add creamer. I even told her when to stop but it just didn't work out.

Food was good enough. The service was as good and our waitress was attentive. Date: 11 October, Dinner The issue: I have a familhy of four. We walk in and the host starts walking pass the counter area where you can sit ion the bar stools. She starts to sit us on the end table nearest the kitchen by the exit. I asked to sit at one of the two tables we passed that was empty. She couldn't say no but the look on her face was of surprise. I took my youngest son to the bathroom and I saw at least ten tables and booths available at the main dining room. I made a note of the diversity of the customers and yes, the majortiy that was by the counter areas were non-caucasian. Approximately 13 minutes later, the table behind me as open and I saw the host escort a couple to the same table she tried to sit us in. All tables were for four so it wasn't because there were only two of them. Yes, they were interacial. I am in the U.S military service and have served my country for over 25 years with two mobiliizations behind me. I fight and gladly go where my country tells me to with no complaints. I just don't feel that this is right. When are we going to stop this ignorant racism out of our lives. This just saddens me that racism is still being passed down to our younger generations, either by parents or businesses.

Food was good staff nice but owner needs to take some personal pride clean up scrub new paint is cheap and when there is a leak in men's bathroom ceiling replace the drywall don't just cover it w paint and let it sag 3 inches down. Gross I hate to think what your home looks like. Could be a great business if you cared even a little

This diner operates like a finely tuned machine. Expect it to be crowded on the weekends, however, that does not compromise the service. The kitchen moves fast and we have never had to wait a long time. The breakfast is great. I typically order an eggs Benedict. My girlfriend orders the omelette which appear to be over stuffed with the selected ingredients. Coffee refills come around often. We are always greeted at the door and someone always says goodbye before we leave. I highly recommend this diner for its efficiency, good breakfast and customer service.

I was very surprises at how much I enjoyed this place. My daughter and her friend wanted to go after shopping so I tried it for the first time. The service was excellent and the food was all good. I ordered a grilled chicken salad with raspberry dressing. The girls had a little of everything. I would love to try their breakfast.

Had a great time! First time here. Came here after my daughter PASSED her driving test!!! Took her to get breakfast to celebrate. (I also had a bogo coupon, in my giant coupon book! Which they accepted with no problems.) I have driven past a couple of these places and always thought they were cute on the outside. Well, they are cute on the inside too! Sad that the Jukeboxes on the tables no longer work. They do have a full size one that works. The food was great! The menu selections was huge. I got a SouthWestern Skillet, it was Yummy! My daughter ordered a Skillet also, and they had no problem making a few changes for her. We had plenty of food left to take home, the portions were huge!! :) The waitress was great! She gave us plenty of time to go over the menu since we had never been there. What a fun place! Can't wait to go back at lunch or dinner and try a fun dessert !!

I'm surprised at the low ratings. This place was recommended by family while we were in the area to visit from CA. Good food, big portions, very nice staff. Plus you can't beat the 99 cent meals for kids during the week. Milkshakes were made with fresh ingredients, huge and the way they should be made. Reminded me very much of the diners I used to eat at with my grandparents as a kid. Will definitely be back again the next time we are here.

Went for an early Saturday morning breakfast. Even at 6:30 it was fairly busy with about a dozen cars in the lot and several booths filled inside. Interestingly, the following week when I stopped by to take a picture about the same time there was not one car in the lot. I felt the booth seats were too close to the table as opposed to too far away like Black Bear. I guess that is why I usually ask for a table as I seem to be more comfortable. I was greeted and seated right away. In general the service was good right up until I was ready to pay and leave and had trouble flagging my waiter down and then got thrown off a bit by the waiter also being a mobile cashier so I had to sit back down and wait for him to get within range again. I ordered a Jim's special, a egg scramble with ground beef, onions, mushrooms and I think peppers. This sounded on paper like a dish that had potential for some flavor. Not one thing in the dish stood out. If I were cooking that dish it would have been cooked in butter which would have helped but none of the ingredients were that tasty on their own. It was certainly ok though.

If I could give a half star, I would and that would be ONLY because our waitress, Phoenicia, was really sweet and tried to make things better. It started out pretty good, we walked in at 8 pm and so it was Happy hour and you get $2 of per shake, so my husband ordered a Strawberry Shake. That came out fairly quickly and it was very good. Then we ordered, my husband ordered a cup of chili, the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, I ordered the pineapple teriyaki burger, I asked that it be made the same way as the menu stated, no extra items such as lettuce, tomato or onion. I went with the seasoned fries. The chili came out and though good, my husband said it was quite spicy, which he wasn't expecting from a diner style restaurant. And then we waited, it seemed to take a really long time for our meals to come out. When they did it all went downhill from there. The meatloaf was funny tasting and drenched in a really odd tasting gravy, and the potatoes tasted like maybe they were really old...several days old maybe? We sent the meal back as inedible. My burger had to be cleaned off of lettuce and onion and in the process the mayo kind of disappeared. It was ok, but every few bites I kept thinking did they use rancid butter to toast the bun? It was not real tasty but we were starving, so we shared that. The french fries were cold and had NO SEASONING. I've been to many 5 & Diners in the valley, I will NOT be returning to this one. We also nearly froze to death and the music that was playing was very boring and unrecognizable, we were born in the 50's I would have thought there would have been something we knew. I wouldn't waste my money on this one, ever again.
(1)
Tony S.
Yeah. Uhhh, well, where do I start? How about this, the bottom line, maybe this place just was not for me. I had a craving for meatloaf and honestly I am not sure what I was served, but it was not good. Their meatloaf is basically two slices of institutional meat with a cup of gravy poured over it. The sides were not much better but I cannot even remember what they were at this point. My kid ordered the Bratwurst dog, and it was not even served with kraut so left him kind of annoyed as well. Not sure I will be trying here again, but I guess I was not even sure about trying them in the first place.

I recently tried 5 & Diner for the first time ever and it was OK. The food wasn't great, but it was on par with Denny's and other diners like this. The restaurant looks very cool, which was probably my favorite thing about it. I just didn't think the food was too special, although I might give it another shot sometime.

Lynne R.
Not impressed. I had not been here in a while but remembered as much better than it was tonight. As I sit here my stomach hurts. We ordered a turkey burger, it was dry and had an odd taste combined with the taste of char (which was dominating). My husband got a mushroom burger, the mushrooms were so weird (chopped into nothing, clearly from a can and a sick yellow color). My daughters kids burger was all char no flavor. Very disappointing. We left most of our food, when the waitress came over she could see by the looks on our face that it was not going over well, she never offered anything. Usually when most of the food except one or 2 bites are still on the plate that might trigger some alarm bells.

On our way to Grandma's house and find this on the way. Very classic diner look and feel. Waitress was really nice also. I ordered a green chile burger with onion rings and a root beer shake. When the burger came out and the smell of the green chile, almost heaven. The burger overall was good but didnt blow me away. The onion rings where good also but samething, nothing great. The thing i liked the most about the onion rings was the coating. My complaint about them was that you couldnt bite thru the onion without pulling the whole thing out, which ruins it for me. The shake was great. I would go back here. There was a lot of different burgers i would try.

Oh how I miss my 5& Diner on Ray & I-10.. that was my home away from home for breakfast. We decided to try this location and while it looks just like the one on Ray, it's nothing like it. Sure the insides are the same; they even have some of the same looking staff. The food is even good, but it didnt have that same feel I was used to. Forgot the waitress' name, but when I looked at the menu, I noticed my favorite thing was missing.. the breakfast skillets. :( They said that all locations were privately owned (Iknew that) and they didnt have those. I ordered the french toast combo and it was ok... Nothing like the location on Ray. They used different styles of french toast and made it an art form. Will I go back here? Sure.. but it wont be my first choice...

This place is a solid 3 stars. Not that it's bad, just not going to set the world on fire with quality. It's consistent though. Huge burgers. Quality sides like the onion rings, loaded waffle fries and cheese and chili fries. Tasty ranch to put on anything, but it doesn't really need it. EXCELLENT SHAKES AND MALTS! The real thing. Bring your kids here so they grow up knowing the difference between a real shake or malt and what Mcdonalds and Jack in the box serve. Open pretty late too and they have outside or inside seating. My hubby and I love going in the evening and swinging to the music they play. Oldies but goodies all the way around.

It's clean and the service was great, with 50's music playing. I had the meatloaf which was better then Mom's and hubby had the Mrs. Cleaver pot roast. Both great dishes at an affordable price made even better with milkshakes that were awesome. A great find here in the Phoenix area well worth a stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I'm surprised at the low ratings. This place was recommended by family while we were in the area to visit from CA. Good food, big portions, very nice staff. Plus you can't beat the 99 cent meals for kids during the week. Milkshakes were made with fresh ingredients, huge and the way they should be made. Reminded me very much of the diners I used to eat at with my grandparents as a kid. Will definitely be back again the next time we are here.

Went for an early Saturday morning breakfast. Even at 6:30 it was fairly busy with about a dozen cars in the lot and several booths filled inside. Interestingly, the following week when I stopped by to take a picture about the same time there was not one car in the lot. I felt the booth seats were too close to the table as opposed to too far away like Black Bear. I guess that is why I usually ask for a table as I seem to be more comfortable. I was greeted and seated right away. In general the service was good right up until I was ready to pay and leave and had trouble flagging my waiter down and then got thrown off a bit by the waiter also being a mobile cashier so I had to sit back down and wait for him to get within range again. I ordered a Jim's special, a egg scramble with ground beef, onions, mushrooms and I think peppers. This sounded on paper like a dish that had potential for some flavor. Not one thing in the dish stood out. If I were cooking that dish it would have been cooked in butter which would have helped but none of the ingredients were that tasty on their own. It was certainly ok though.

If I could give a half star, I would and that would be ONLY because our waitress, Phoenicia, was really sweet and tried to make things better. It started out pretty good, we walked in at 8 pm and so it was Happy hour and you get $2 of per shake, so my husband ordered a Strawberry Shake. That came out fairly quickly and it was very good. Then we ordered, my husband ordered a cup of chili, the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, I ordered the pineapple teriyaki burger, I asked that it be made the same way as the menu stated, no extra items such as lettuce, tomato or onion. I went with the seasoned fries. The chili came out and though good, my husband said it was quite spicy, which he wasn't expecting from a diner style restaurant. And then we waited, it seemed to take a really long time for our meals to come out. When they did it all went downhill from there. The meatloaf was funny tasting and drenched in a really odd tasting gravy, and the potatoes tasted like maybe they were really old...several days old maybe? We sent the meal back as inedible. My burger had to be cleaned off of lettuce and onion and in the process the mayo kind of disappeared. It was ok, but every few bites I kept thinking did they use rancid butter to toast the bun? It was not real tasty but we were starving, so we shared that. The french fries were cold and had NO SEASONING. I've been to many 5 & Diners in the valley, I will NOT be returning to this one. We also nearly froze to death and the music that was playing was very boring and unrecognizable, we were born in the 50's I would have thought there would have been something we knew. I wouldn't waste my money on this one, ever again.

Yeah. Uhhh, well, where do I start? How about this, the bottom line, maybe this place just was not for me. I had a craving for meatloaf and honestly I am not sure what I was served, but it was not good. Their meatloaf is basically two slices of institutional meat with a cup of gravy poured over it. The sides were not much better but I cannot even remember what they were at this point. My kid ordered the Bratwurst dog, and it was not even served with kraut so left him kind of annoyed as well. Not sure I will be trying here again, but I guess I was not even sure about trying them in the first place.

I recently tried 5 & Diner for the first time ever and it was OK. The food wasn't great, but it was on par with Denny's and other diners like this. The restaurant looks very cool, which was probably my favorite thing about it. I just didn't think the food was too special, although I might give it another shot sometime.

Not impressed. I had not been here in a while but remembered as much better than it was tonight. As I sit here my stomach hurts. We ordered a turkey burger, it was dry and had an odd taste combined with the taste of char (which was dominating). My husband got a mushroom burger, the mushrooms were so weird (chopped into nothing, clearly from a can and a sick yellow color). My daughters kids burger was all char no flavor. Very disappointing. We left most of our food, when the waitress came over she could see by the looks on our face that it was not going over well, she never offered anything. Usually when most of the food except one or 2 bites are still on the plate that might trigger some alarm bells.

On our way to Grandma's house and find this on the way. Very classic diner look and feel. Waitress was really nice also. I ordered a green chile burger with onion rings and a root beer shake. When the burger came out and the smell of the green chile, almost heaven. The burger overall was good but didnt blow me away. The onion rings where good also but samething, nothing great. The thing i liked the most about the onion rings was the coating. My complaint about them was that you couldnt bite thru the onion without pulling the whole thing out, which ruins it for me. The shake was great. I would go back here. There was a lot of different burgers i would try.

Food was alright, nothing special, a bit bland. The water tasted so bad though, bad enough that you could still taste it through iced tea or tap water, do they not have a filter!?

Oh how I miss my 5& Diner on Ray & I-10.. that was my home away from home for breakfast. We decided to try this location and while it looks just like the one on Ray, it's nothing like it. Sure the insides are the same; they even have some of the same looking staff. The food is even good, but it didnt have that same feel I was used to. Forgot the waitress' name, but when I looked at the menu, I noticed my favorite thing was missing.. the breakfast skillets. :( They said that all locations were privately owned (Iknew that) and they didnt have those. I ordered the french toast combo and it was ok... Nothing like the location on Ray. They used different styles of french toast and made it an art form. Will I go back here? Sure.. but it wont be my first choice...

This place is a solid 3 stars. Not that it's bad, just not going to set the world on fire with quality. It's consistent though. Huge burgers. Quality sides like the onion rings, loaded waffle fries and cheese and chili fries. Tasty ranch to put on anything, but it doesn't really need it. EXCELLENT SHAKES AND MALTS! The real thing. Bring your kids here so they grow up knowing the difference between a real shake or malt and what Mcdonalds and Jack in the box serve. Open pretty late too and they have outside or inside seating. My hubby and I love going in the evening and swinging to the music they play. Oldies but goodies all the way around.
