    Cute little place
    Natasha A.

    Within the Shady Dell is this adorable 1950's diner. You sit outside and order. We had a vanilla cherry coke float. Excellent service and float. We'll definitely be back to try the food.

    This is an outdoor retro diner next to The Shady Dell motel. We were exploring the Lowell area on foot and stopped in for a milkshake and soda. Also got a cool t-shirt. The young guy who helped us was really energetic and helpful. There's an outdoor seating area with free ice cold water. It felt like we were hanging out at a backyard party

    Cool little place in a vintage trailer park. Service was great and the food was excellent! Great playlist also!

    We had a wonderful experience at the diner. The food top notch. We were very pleasantly surprised with the pulled pork, pork belly, and brisket tacos. We also had an order of the cheese curds that blew our minds. Great experience and great ambiance!

    If you're looking for a nostalgic 50s themed sort of diner. This is the perfect place for you. The weather was great to be sitting outside and listening to music. We ordered a cherry soda float with vanilla ice cream and it was delicious. We also ordered chicken and waffles and a chicken sandwich. I wish the chicken and waffles came with a hot sauce. I feel like it would've rounded out the meal really well same with the chicken sandwich it needed a kick to it

    This spot is absolutely incredible. One of the best breakfasts we ever had. Food has explosions of flavor and a variety of options for breakfast. High quality and reasonably priced. The location is vintage and spooky. Right next to the Cemetery. We love everything about it.

    Such a cute old school diner vibe! Seating is only outdoors so plan ahead with the weather-- it was a little chilly and windy when we visited but our server was kind enough to bring us blankets as we ate. Our server was friendly and attentive and the food was the perfect diner food we needed after a night of a few adult beverages.

    Im so glad this exists. The food is amazing and the events they put on are awesome. Service is spot on and it has a fun ambiance (old trailers?! So very cool). You just have to try this place!

    I stopped by today, a Saturday, at 1:15pm. It was not busy. I was seated under the tent with other customers around. It was only in the mid 50s. Service was friendly but I had the feeling one server took me from another server. I ordered a cheese burger and a glass of water. The water had an unpleasant aftertaste. The burger was OK. I ordered It well done and the owner told me she made sure It came out like a hockey puck. Luckily It came out fine and not hard and dry like a hockey puck. The burger came to $17.88, a bit pricey, but part of the bill included a 9.6% Bisbee sales tax. This was my first time here. I thought it was OK, but the menu is limited. I gave it 4 stars for the service. It's a cute thing to visit for the tourists, but the separate wall now around Dot's Diner cuts out the view into the Shady Dell RV park.

    Good vibe and great food! It's a total hidden gem outside of Bisbee! The chicken waffles & chicken sandwich are the must have.

It was hard to have a conversation or even hear the server at times because of the live music out in the common area of the space. The music was good, it was just rather loud. Otherwise the vibe of the space if enjoyable with its nostalgia and stuff. In the past I've ranked my experience five stars but I had to bring it down a notch. I had the meatloaf dinner and my husband had Copper(something) pasta dish. Both were lukewarm at best. The flavors were still good but it wasn't a hot dish by any means, and the meatloaf was a bit saltier than I remember. For the pasta dish, the warm bread was hotter than the pasta dish itself. We didn't send it back because I noticed the server was handling dishes returned to the kitchen at the next table, and our dishes weren't cold or anything, they were just warm. I still maintain they absolutely deserve four stars because I suspect the kitchen might have been having an off night and the food was very good (just the meatloaf was a tad salty). We really enjoyed the mushroom appetizer and the beer selection is excellent.

What really made this a 5-star experience was the overall vibe and service. The atmosphere inside is super cool, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. There's even a little cave area outside that we absolutely loved it made the whole experience feel unique. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

Our waitress was welcoming and friendly and let us know what was popular, what options there were, and that we could make changes. We all got sandwiches and I think everyone was happy with their meal. The one thing I would say is go for fries over tater tots! The tater tots were cold yet seemed like they'd been fried 4 or 50 times.

However, given the reviews we decided to try it out. I must say, it was one of the best meals I have in a long time! Completely upscale, with an unexpected salad and gelato to cleanse your palate between courses. The wine was excellent, and I had to look twice to see the price which was half of what you'd pay for such a mean in a big city. We will be back to Bisbee and Roka soon!

We arrived just under the wire as the last table seated for the evening and were fully prepared to be turned away, but the hostess kindly welcomed us in. Our server was warm, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about both the food and its preparation. As the evening went on, we learned that this is a family-run restaurant, which only added to the charm and warmth of the experience. I ordered the mussels, one of my favorite dishes, while my girlfriend had the artichoke and mushroom lasagna. For dessert we shared the crème brûlée and a caramel nut tart with mascarpone. Both of us have traveled extensively, eaten at many excellent restaurants around the world, and this was genuinely one of the better meals we've had. The restaurant is beautifully and thoughtfully designed, the food was exceptional, and the service matched it perfectly. As a business owner myself, and as an artist who deeply appreciates craftsmanship and people doing things well, I can't express enough how much I enjoyed the experience.
