I love finding local cafes that combine good food with attentive service and this little place doesn't disappoint. Came in for brunch on Mother's Day and while even though they were hopping we were able to get a table for 4 promptly. Patio dining is very limited, so if want to dine outside on a beautiful day you'll need a little luck. The staff was very friendly and attentive - my coffee cup was never empty! Food was presented well and tasted great. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal and agreed this cute little place is a gem. Definitely recommended. read more

40th Street Cafe - Chicken & Veggie Skillet - Diners Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place has been hidden away in a strip mall at 40th & Greenway for 25 years. It's so inconspicuous that it's like finding hidden treasure. It's a great little diner with good food, friendly service, not expensive and well worth the search! read more

wonderful place, they have great food and support veterans. had the famous chicken tenders and they were excellent. in a strip mall but worth looking for. read more

Great service! Coffee cup never went cold! Corn beef hash was perfectly done! I will be back! Heads up you can order half a waffle.

It's so wierd. This place looks like an average cafe, and inside it is an average cafe, BUT THE FOOD IS AMAZING. And the servers are so polite. It's really a wonderful place to go, and I've never had a bad experience there. read more

The fact they kept skipping over us after waiting a whole 1 hr outside smh but beside that the food was ok for a hole in the wall spot.

This place is fantastic. The spinach and feta cheese omelette with a little tomato added in was delicious. I will definitely be back. The price was right, the service was efficient and the crowd was friendly. A regular suggested I try the French toast next time. read more

Our new favorite breakfast place. No frills here--simple food that tastes great where they know their regulars. It's not much to look at but they serve some mean home style breakfasts. And they have both shredded and home style potatoes. The food is inexpensive and service is friendly. Give them a try. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch places the servers and owners are so nice and will even remember what I like to get. Even though I'm not particularly a breakfast person I can always find something here that I will greatly enjoy and they there are always open for suggestions for those who are pretty creative when it comes to food combinations such as bacon IN the waffles!!! and will last me throughout the day! read more

I am really more of an A-OK, but I know my husband would definitely bump this to four stars. Great place for a quick, good and inexpensive breakfast. How many places in Phoenix or any big US city can you get a two egg spinach omelette with tip for under $10? Definitely a mom and pop which leads to consistently good food. If you are a foodie, then go elsewhere. This cafe is just that a little cafe with American breakfasts including chicken fried steak and corn beef hash. read more

Been going to 40th cafe for along while and have enjoyed food, and service is all good so I was shocked and really sad to see no one working there had on a mask, or gloves?? I had just read an article from the CDC on how important wearing a mask is to protect others from droplets coming from ones mouth. With over One Hundred Thousand Americans dead and counting I don't understand why its so hard to put on a darn MASK. read more

I'm so excited we have a wonderful place to eat great food the staff is always helpful and the recommendations for the different types of food are amazing!! I ordered the Reuben on marble rye made of corn beef and it was the best Reuben I have ever tasted in Az! The triple decker ham sandwich was also very delicious!! read more

If you're looking for a decent amount of simple delicious breakfast food at a great price, this is the place for you! I've been here a few times now and it's now my go to diner when I just want some simple classic American breakfast food. It can get pretty crowded in the mornings, so if you're there during peak breakfast hours expect to wait for a table. It's worth the wait though! read more

Was told about this place very good food and service. Over easy Eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and English muffin. Cooked to order wonderful. Very busy still great service. read more

I love this place! I have come here multiple times for breakfast and they never disappoint! They have great portion sizes and great friendly service too! I recommend this place as much as possible! read more

Great little cafe that we tried for first time today. Friendly service. Good food. We enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and the chorizo and eggs. Both were very tasty. I saw other reviews mentioning slower service but our service was quick even though they were busy and all tables taken. Will be back. read more

Nothing says family like 40th St. Cafe. My family and I have been going to 40th St Cafe since I was a kid and it has a special place in my heart. My mom was at 40th St Cafe every day for coffee, many days for lunch, and we often went for dinner. Being a single mom, raising two boys, she also was allowed to pick up shifts to earn extra money. When she was hospitalized for pneumonia, the cafe fed my brother and I. One of her dreams was to take us back to New York and show us where she grew up, but we could never afford it. . After she was diagnosed with cancer, the cafe staff, and some of the regulars raised enough money to send my mom, brother, and I to New York for a week with spending money. Our whole family was also there for a big reunion. It is a trip we will never forget. 5 years ago, we lost my mom to breast cancer. Every year, the cafe participates in the Walk for the Cure in honor of my mom and others that have passed. I live in Gilbert now, so I do not go as often as I would like, but any opportunity to get to that side of town, 40th St Cafe is where I will go. Peggy's Pies are incredible! Best in the valley. If you like good home cooked meals, this is the place to go. I usually end up ordering the Cobb Salad with Blue Cheese dressing. They make their own Blue Cheese, and it is amazing, different than what you are used to. I also love their Guacamole Burger. For breakfast, you cannot go wrong with the Ultimate Skillet. So if you are anything like me and like to bring business to people who really go the extra mile to make a difference in people's lives, then go check it out. You won't be sorry you did. :) read more

Small place . You sit pretty close to others but the food is very good huge portions and the staff are do nice you feel at home.

For the last 11 years, if you were looking for me, all you've had to do was hang around 40th Street Cafe and I'd turn up eventually. I've tried virtually everything on the menu and we've built a few things that have been very successful. My #6 daily special is scrambled eggs with green chile & onions, hash browns, warm salsa & a flour tortilla. Not on the board, but Sherrie (and more than a few regulars) will know exactly what you mean. I'm not a big chicken guy but the fried chicken strips with French fries would make the real Colonel proud! Terrific coating, crunchy & tasty. Don't miss the homemade soups. According to David Abella, a renowned chef, "complex & flavorful." He went to the kitchen to compliment the cooks. The fried fish (special on Fridays) is among the best you'll enjoy. Again, a breading that fries perfectly & tastes great. Peggy runs a fine, friendly, patriotic, community cafe. Enjoy it for what it is. There are very few left. read more

A simple Diner-like feel where everything is homemade. The restaurant is spotless even though the tables are pretty tightly cramped. I would not recommend this place for groups but if you just want to go in and get a hearty breakfast or lunch this is a good place. The prices are great and the servers do a wonderful job. There's a reason this place is always packed. Definitely worth the wait read more

Great local cafe !!! Good local crowd which generally means good food too and I was NOT disappointed! Seating indoors or out. Had biscuits and sausage gravy, which to me is a defining dish. It the cooks make good sausage gravy you can BET the rest of the food is good. Scored 9 out of 10 there. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Went here for breakfast with Hubby and Little Man today. I can't say enough how much we love this place! Even when there's a wait, you don't have to wait too long and the service is very good. The regulars are friendly with our son and the food is awesome! I usually get the machaca and eggs, or a tuna melt on a bagel. They have the best fries ever! The kids' meals are inexpensive, they bring crayons and paper, and give them cookies at the end of the meal. Couldn't ask for more! read more

This place is great. I have only had breakfast but the food is sooo good. It's a really small place so there us usually a wait but it'sworth it. Enjoy. : ) read more

My favorite! Always fresh and the best bacon ever. Everyone who works there has been there forever and they definitely know their customers! Recommend highly for breakfast! read more

Meh, disappointing. The food and service were nothing to write home about. I got the Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise was tasteless and coffee tasted like dirt. My plate was taken away by Tina without being asked if I was done. The same server didn't even thank me when she gave me my bill. I would have had better food and service at Denny's. read more

I just never understand how people can think this cafe is so great. My folks regularly eat here, but every single time I have gone, I have been very disappointed with the quality of their food. I was there yesterday (with my folks) and ordered 1/2 grilled cheese and a bowl of French Onion soup. My sandwich was cold, cheese not melted, and my soup had unmelted square cheese sticking out the bottom. It was barely hot. My Mom had the fish and chips and she said it was the worst fish ever. When we left the place, it was packed. I guess I simply look for good food, prepared to order, and served hot. Not my favorite place, and I think it was my last visit. read more

I really enjoy this place. It is always busy and the food and service are great. It's the small town resturant in the big city.

This place is awesome. It's a small restaurant in a strip mall. They have really good breakfast. I love their biscuits and gravy. The prices are really reasonable and have great customer service. It's funny I have eaten at this place 3 times now, and it seems I see the same customers in there. They must have a lot of regular customers. My waitress was very good and always checked up on us. I would recommend this place for breakfast. read more

What a great find and thanks to Yelp! its small, but food was good and just the right amount and at a great price. Will definitely be heading here again even if its out of my way for breakfast. They have lunch and dinner too, menu looks good, so I'll have to try them for lunch and dinner too. read more

Eggs Benedict were good not great. But the staff was very friendly and attentive. Good american breakfast place. Close quarters for seating, reminds me of being on a ship. That's a good thing, because the quality of service also is cruise like. I will be back. read more

A great, family owned for 27+ years, open for breakfast and lunch only. Service is always friendly and attentive.Food is always great...A terrific neighborhood restaurant you'll want to go to often.Like Cheers, everyone seems to know each other read more

I have no reason not to give this place five stars. I walked in for the first time and sat at the counter. The regulars were sitting there and struck up a conversation with me. I asked them about the food. They had nothing but good things to say. I had the chicken fried steak or I guess it's country fried steak it was absolutely delicious! There was a lot of food more than enough for me! The eggs were cooked perfectly! This is definitely a place I will return to. Although it is small I absolutely loved the family feel! read more

I've review this place before, but felt I needed to update. We have tried several different breakfast places, and still come back to 40th Street Cafe every time We LVE the staff - Tina, Sherry, Ethyl, Kim, Fred, ALL of them are friendly, funny, anxious to please, and treat you like old friends. Peggy did a wonderful thing when she opened this establishment read more

This place is terrible. The wait for a table is always long, the wait for your food even longer. The waitress spilled coffee on my leg and wouldn't even apologize. The food is average. read more

Great breakfast food for way cheap! WARNING: Only odd thing is that when you order an omelet with cheese, they put the cheese on the top, outside. So you have to ask for the sheese inside when you order. Other than that, I'm becoming a regular. My husband and one of the servers always joke about the Cardinals (she's a huge fan) and when he went with my sister once without me, he said he got a few funny looks. THis is a great place for basic breakfast faves. Nothing fancy (you're all sort of crammed in there) but really comfortable and good food. read more

Great food, good prices and big servings. Great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Waitresses are pretty, funny and make you feel very welcomed. Highly recommended. read more

So good! The food is delicious! The eggs Benedict is really tasty with homemade hollandaise. The fries are crispy and perfection! It's such a cute cafe and a great local business to support. Will definitely be frequenting this cafe. A lovely place to spend a Saturday morning read more

Best breakfast place I have found in az. Everything is homemade and has big portions with super low prices. I tell everyone about it and describe it as your grandma type cooking with waitress that have been there forever a real true diner joint that I love so much! Open at 5am which is another bonus since I work nights but wish it was 24/7 like. Country boys down street cause if be there all time if that was case with my schedule. Definitely an awesome place that I would recommend for anyone looking for delicious and cheap home cooked comfort food nothing fancy about it just good ol diner read more

40th St. is a pretty good place to have breakfast on the weekend.. For those of you wanting a pretty place with pretty Scottsdale people, you won't feel at home here. Thomas S. was right on with his review comparing it to Mel's Diner of TV sitcom fame. It's was great to see the attention the regulars get. Now after reading the reviews I'll have to go back and try the pie! read more

Great place. The food was good. The prices were reasonable, and the service was great. It's a great neighborhood joint.
