    Surprising to walk in on a Friday night and see this place empty. The decor was your classic 50's diner. Pictures of iconic performers from the era adorned the walls. Plenty of checkerboard and chrome accents filled the rest. I had to meltdown patty and I have to admit, the best part of the meal were the Galaxy fries. They were crispy and well seasoned. I'd come back but only for the fries

    Great service, and frankly that and the ambience are the only reason this place gets a 3 star. Took 30 minutes longer than the rest of the food to get my milkshake, and the flavors really just blended into vanilla instead of mint and raspberry... I was not impressed by their vegetarian selection, a lot of stuff was either made with meat broth or had bacon hidden in it. I finally settled on the zucchini sticks and they gave me back clearly two different types of fried zucchini-- one was round little medallions and one was long and thin like a mozzarella stick. Two different batters, two different cuts, it really did not look appetizing.

    The food wasnt really all that great at least the server was nice if I were in Flagstaff I would check out other restaurants. The whole place was just off and mostly empty. The food wasn't all that worth it sad to see a historic route 66 restaurant in this state.

    So this place we went hoping for just simple breakfast. The ambience was set like an old diner. The food which is OK. I had an omelette and it was just nothing special. My friend had the waffle which she thought was just OK. The service was good though.

    Ah! I love this place! I lived in Flagstaff during middle school (20 years ago) and this was a go-to spot back then for weekend family breakfast and after school fries anf milkshakes with friends. Coming through Flag moving to Phoenix I was so happy to see it's still here! Food has remained the same yummy, greasy diner food, but the prices have definitely gone up. I love the cacophony of celebrity photos on the walls and the vibes are right out of Grease.

    I ordered one of the limited edition holiday meals- beef burgundy - and it was delicious! I didn't expect such a delicious and elevated dish at a diner but I was impressed. They had a lot of options for hot cocoa which I was obsessed with and had to order the French vanilla hot cocoa! I also ordered a root beer and it was a classic old fashioned styled root beer and I couldn't get enough!! The service was really great my server was a champ working all by herself as a server! The diner itself is super old school 1950s diner and it's adorable. Definitely stop here if you're on Route 66 or visiting flagstaff

    Dad's heading back down the mountain soon and I'm always sad to see him go. But one thing we have started to do is our traditional good bye breakfast at Galaxy Dinner. This morning I had French toast with eggs and bacon, which dad shared his potatoes with me. And Dad got the corn beef with the toast and eggs. Unfortunately we had to get it changed out since they mix bell peppers with their corn beef, but we got bacon instead and it worked. A great breakfast to get dad down the mountain! And as always we'll be back again! (If you've never seen Galaxy Dinner's neon, highly recommend eating here too, it's so cool!)

    Maybe you're an east coast gal like me craving diner food from a greasy spoon in New Jersey? We had a delicious breakfast here. The potatoes alone made me nearly weep. You just don't get potatoes like that everywhere. If you're in Flagstaff or on your way to the Grand Canyon or Sedona stop in!

    It's a cute diner and we went here for dinner. Fast service and good food. He got the fish basket and I got the turkey platter. Maddie talked us into getting a milkshake as well. They have 100+ flavors to choose from, he got coffee and I got Orange Colada. The food and the shakes were both delicious. If nothing else, one here and get a milkshake!!!

    Does anyone know why this diner closed? I loved going there when I was in Flagstaff! The staff was always very friendly and the waffles were to die for!

    Not sure why they closed but they have just reopened, writing this August 9, 2020.

    After eating next door for a lunch, we saw the signs all over MartAnne's claiming they are "The…read moreHouse That Chilaquiles Built!" We were intrigued enough that we visited MartAnne's the very next night for dinner. That was on a Tuesday at around 6PM and it wasn't too busy the entire time we were there. House Horchata ($5.99) - This drink comes in a giant 32 oz Ball jar with tons of ice. Per the server it's made with milk and condensed milk, no rice milk at all. It's rich, thick, creamy, sweet, filled with earthy notes of vanilla and cinnamon. There's so much spice included that at some points, there's almost a gritty feeling while drinking. It's perfect for a hot day after hiking. Buckwheat Pancake ala carte ($4.99) - Buckwheat pancakes are something we've never seen before on a diner menu in the past. It seems to be pretty common around Arizona, so we had to give it a try before leaving Flagstaff. This one's pretty big, almost plate sized. It's really moist, fluffy, bouncy, and light with a slight sweetness and a certain earthy flavor. It's moist enough that it sticks to the ceramic plate it's served on. The pancake is somewhat crumbly due to the low gluten content of buckwheat, although I believe they use a mix of buckwheat and wheat flour to give some more stability. It's bluish grey in color with black specks of ground buckwheat throughout. It's dusted with powdered sugar, but it's not a ton, making the pancake not really sweet at all. The pancake comes with a small cup of their cinnamon honey butter. It's not mixed that well, leaving it mostly unhomogenized with streaks of honey and spice through the softened salted butter. Tamale ala carte ($4.99) - MartAnne's offers two types of tamales - the first a red chile beef, and the second a green corn and cheese. We went with the latter, which is a homemade tamale with a somewhat looser, coarsely ground masa shell surrounding an interior of yellow sweet corn kernels, a bouncy and somewhat spongy block of Oaxaca cheese, and a fragrant green chile. There's a slight sweetness throughout and the tamale overall is easy to eat. Chilaquiles, Xmas, Fratelli ($17.99) - This is a monster sized plate of a mishmash of ingredients. There are three things as essentially a base layer. Firstly some Mexican rice that's tender, moist, and fluffy, totally unlike the more common dry and and compact version. My guess is that they skip the initial frying step that helps keeps the starch together. It's quite fragrant and has gives a bit of heat. On top of the rice is a layer of hash browns. The potatoes are tender on the interior, griddled on one side to give a delightful crunch, although there's some acridity that develops. Another third of the plate is covered with chili beans - tender pinto beans that are well salted and seasoned. Then there's the eggs stuffed in between layers of corn tortilla chips, smothered with sauce. I went with the Christmas combination of red and green sauce, followed up by the Fratelli-style pork green chile. The green sauce is fragrant and vegetal, while the red sauce is more smoky. The pork, which is cut into chunks, on top is a bit tough and dry but there's more than enough sauce to make up for that slight demerit. Finally, there's a small mound of I believe jalapeno peppers, cut into small neon-green colored pieces. Some pieces are spicy, some are mild, all have a vegetal pepper taste. I found the food at MartAnne's to be pretty good. It definitely hits the spot after hiking all around the area for most of the day. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. Note: MartAnne's charges a 3.5% credit card fee. This is labeled on the menu.

Maybe that made our server mad because she threw the utensils and napkins on the table. Never once smiled or told us her name. Extremely rude service. The food came fairly quickly but it was tasteless. Our server spent the rest of the time at the back table on her cellphone. Nothing authentic about this food. The salsa came in a tiny plastic fast food cup and tasted weird like oregano. Rice was tasteless and beans were right out of a can. The bill came and there's a surprise $1.75 service added charge for inflation. On top of horrible food and service. Don't be fooled by the cute decor...this place is BAD. To the owners: Better spend your extra $1.75 wisely because we will NEVER be back. We can't be the only ones that feel this way. It's sad because this place used to be epic. Not anymore! Must be new owners.

There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area is especially impressive. They have what looked like a private dining space inside a barn-style shed, several gas fire pits, and even a slightly elevated platform that looked perfect for live music. Ordering is simple -- you place both food and drink orders at the counter, then they bring everything out to your table. Even though the place was busy, the food came out fast and piping hot. The food itself was outstanding. I ordered the chicken and biscuits and my wife got the chilaquiles. Both portions were huge. The chicken and biscuits were exactly what I was hoping for: smothered in rich country gravy with a perfectly fried flattened chicken breast that was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The buttermilk biscuit was golden, flaky, buttery, and had the perfect balance of soft interior and crisp edges. I honestly got full halfway through my plate and never even got a chance to try the wife's chilaquiles. The drip coffee was excellent too -- simple, hot, and exactly what good breakfast coffee should be. There's street parking along with a small parking lot across the street. Easily one of the best breakfast spots we've been to.

We also ordered their green chile pork + egg plate that came with diced onions and potatoes. Asked for the eggs to be over medium and they came out over hard. The pork was pretty tough and the potatoes were too crispy for the overall meal itself and it lacked sauce. Also came with two flour tortillas but they were super small, street taco size. Don't think I'd personally come back, but they have decent reviews so maybe they are more known for other items on their menu.

The inside is nicely decorated and tends to be pretty busy. Sometimes there are lines out the door, so there's usually a slight wait. In the warmer months, they do have some seating out front in the parking lot (it's fenced in). I haven't had any of the pastries they offer, but I've tried the drinks. The alcoholic beverages are fairly priced and good. They even offer a flight, so you can try a bunch of different flavors. For coffee, my friends enjoyed their drinks. Brandy's has a lot of different options, some of which include vegetarian and vegan items. My cajun scramble was well seasoned, which was appreciated. My side included hashbrowns. Overall, I wasn't super stuffed from the serving, but I thought it was okay. I also tasted a few of my friends pancakes and they were really good. One had gotten the cinnamon roll pancake and it was the best! You could see the cinnamon on the bottom, which was perfect. Overall, I think this place is pretty good.

I noticed they had a variety of dessert squares available, so I ended up choosing several of them to sample. One dessert that stood out to me appearance-wise was the Irish apple cake. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a little too dry and tasted very similar to a basic apple cinnamon cake. Overall, it wasn't anything special to me. I also tried their strawberry lemon bar, which I really enjoyed. This one was very good and had a nice balance of tart lemon flavor. The texture inside was tacky in a good way, and it made the dessert very yummy. Another square I tried was the Almond Joy bar, which was amazing. It had a base that seemed to be made with granola, topped with a sweet coconut cream layer, and finished with a thick layer of chocolate and shredded coconut. It was very tasty. The last dessert I tried was their bread pudding square. It was pretty good overall, but it wasn't anything special. I did find the bread pudding to be a little dry. Each dessert square was priced at about $4.50. The staff was really nice or friendly. On the positive side, parking was super easy since the bakery is located in the same plaza as Safeway.
