Attitude was Aweful, The Food Was Fine, The Memories of the past was nice. Then, there were flies hovering around our side of the restuarant, when we complained to the manager he was RUDE! and said " Well I can't do anythign about that!" Imagine the shock O_O ! It was an aweful experience and the Manager was just needs a new job if he can't get himself out there to cleana nd help the other workers who were obviously busy! Will never set foot there again!

Nostalgia for the 1950s comes easily at all nine locations of this Valley institution. Neon, chrome, shiny red vinyl booths and framed mementoes of icons James Dean, Elvis Presley and the like capture the ambiance of a bygone era in slick Valley fashion. Jukeboxes at the counter and outdoor dining at funky, retro tables are illuminated by red neon and a perky, diner-style wait staff. The fare is a throwback to a more gravy-friendly time with a hot meat loaf sandwich replete with creamy mashed potatoes and veggies, spaghetti, club sandwiches and daily blue-plate and senior specials. Serving three meals daily (all day long), house specialties are pancakes and omelets, burgers and seasoned fries, hot dogs and onion rings. Got a sweet tooth? Their malts and shakes are famous and touted as "best in the West." This location on N. 16th St. is open 24 hours

very good little restaraunt also very unique. Setup like a restarant in the 50's they have wonderful home cooked food and my favorite each table has its own little personal jutebox that you can sit there and choose your tunes to hear right at your table it is awesome give it s shot!

This is a great little place to take the kids or a date! The 1950's atmosphere is fun and the food is good. They have good hamburgers and sandwitches. Dont forget to try the shakes!

I love this restaraunt. First of all the 5 & Diner is set up like things were years ago which I find to be a really neat, different atmosphere. Each booth or table has it's own little juke box on it to where you can sit right there and play your songs of choice without having to leave the table and you can adjust it to the volume you wish! On top of the great "oldies" atmoshpere the good is very good as well! You get generous size portions at a great price! It reminds me alot like "Home Cooking". I would definitly give it a try if you have a chance!!

Good Food, but the (very small) restaurant was extremely heavy with cigarette smoke, so much so that when our food came, I had to exit. Too bad, since the decor and ambiance were rather nice. Would not return though, not worth it...I'd rather breathe.

This place has it.Good food and fun.Great place to bring the family.WE bring our Daughters all the time.The first time we paid for them after that they have been free every time.If you haven' found out by now.Those place mats that your kids have been coloring on.Keep them when you are done.Bring them with you the next time you come in and get their meal free. This only works when you get one adult meal for every kids meal.1 adult 2 kids, 1 free kids meal.2 adults 2 kids, 2 free kids meals.Bring the family and have fun !!

If you're looking for a real diner, this is it. From right out of a movie.The food is spectacular, the milk shakes are excellent. The atmosphere and service are perfect. An all around great dining experience.

I have never found a bad meal here. We enjoy the food it has great taste and the portions are great. We can be like the families of the 1959's when we are there. I have one teen who likes to dress the part and loves the food as well. She and her friends enjoy being there and I can go relax and enjoy the dayss of old and enjoy the food. All the food has been really great.

Good malts and excelent Diner atmosphere, everything happened so quickly I almost didn't remeber ordering anything. Now that's service. They have everything that one could want out of a Diner... I loved it!! I thought the name was quite clever as well, so I'll give them extra points in the bonus round!!!

The only place in Phoenix that I have found that serves a "Joe's Special" and it is great. You must try their milk shakes they are to die for
