    Side salad
    Spencer M.

    Overall: 3 Food: 2 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3 Came in for lunch around noon just looking for that traditional diner - their menu options are solid so I was thinking it would be a hit. The prices are.. well it's 2024, so they are pricey. Meals that used to be 9 dollars are now like $15 but that's just life. The food itself wasn't anything special. I'm a sucker for open faced hot Turkey sandwiches... it came with a side of mashed potatoes! When the plate was first presented I was a little confused as the mashed potatoes were the same consistency as the gravy so I thought I had a massive plate of gravy. The Turkey was decent, but the bread was kind of lost in the amount of gravy provided. The gravy was just okay which was over half the meal and I'm assuming the potatoes were instant box mash. My girlfriend got the SNS Burger which was their smaller portion burger and a side salad. She said it was mediocre... from a looks standpoint it was pretty, but kind of looked like cheap frozen beef patties. She enjoyed the salad. The service was solid - really no complaints on that end. The environment itself is an old school diner vibe with 2 sections in the building. We were seated on the left side, but I'm assuming both sides are the same style/theme.

    Bacon cheese burger is not hand pressed but it's really good.

    Walking up there was a hair weave in the grass and a dead bird so I knew this place was going to be good! Our waitress was great! She had a good sense of humor and joked with us several times. I had the bacon GCCB and it was really big! The patty wasn't hand pressed but it was delicious! The fries were really good too. My son had the hungry man special and it was huge! Came with unlimited pancakes too! My other boy had the bbq burger with a side of Mac and cheese. The Mac was pretty bad. I was hoping it was good but it was dry and rubbery. The waffle was huge and full of strawberries and whip cream. I like this place and I would probably be a regular if I lived close by. Two thumbs up from me.

    Very good

    Trying out this diner for breakfast
    Daysi G.

    This place is out in West Phoenix. We wanted breakfast in a diner style and that's what we got. It is definitely an older building. The decor has not been updated since..... I don't know actually LoL. Very late 70s mixed with 80s. The feeling you'd get from a diner out in the middle of nowhere. Looks like the owners might be an Asian family. They were so nice. Greeted us and sat us promptly. They were pretty busy mid morning on a Sunday. Our wait wasn't that long. Our server was very pleasant. We placed our order and it was just what we wanted. Delicious hearty kinda greasy diner food. It was just right. My steak and eggs were cooked perfectly. My husbands omelette was flavorful. We certainly will be back when you're in the mood for hearty meal.

    Came in here on a Sunday. Even though the joint was packed, service was fast. Waitresses are friendly and prompt, checking-in on our table often. My husband recommends the steak and eggs, one of his fave breakfast spots for a good reason. Food definitely has a homestyle taste. And though you can tell the place is old, it's very clean and smells delicious!! Definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of old school diners with great food, great service, and a nostalgic feel.

    I've been to Genie G's off and on for many year. The food and hospitality are exceptional and I really appreciate it. On a different note, Why don't you…

    I wish Yelp would only show ratings from 2025 and later, after 2025 a lot of prices have gone way up and quality has suffered at most locations so a lot of ratings are no longer relavant.

    Got dinner from here with friends this week. For 6PM on a Thursday night it was not busy at all…read more Nice mix of casual and dressed up, between the outdoor and indoor seating. Like some other reviews, with it not being busy at all, the staff was very attentive, almost a little too attentive with trying to clear plates when we were still eating, but that's not a real complaint. Onto the food, 10/10, most interesting and scrumptious food I've enjoyed in a while! The Dry Aged Beef Carpaccio was DELICIOUS, I easily ate it by myself. For an entree I got the Chitarra Clam Pasta, it had a really delicious light white sauce, and it was a delight to eat. The pasta itself was cooked well, the clams seemed fine, and the flavors were great. For dessert, two of us split the Brown Butter Cake, and because there was no menu we didn't realize it would be $17, but in the end it was worth it. The cake was topped with ice cream and there was caramel drizzled across the dish, really delicious and more impressive than I would've expected. Overall staff was friendly, didn't need to make a reservation, and the food was mind blowing.

I did a few photos of the inside but the outside courtyard was so breathtaking I sat outside. My waiter was Gregg and he was awesome. I had the smoked beets and eggplant meatballs over polenta as my appetizer - Food crack 10 flipping stars. Beef ribs were good 5 star but the flipping appetizer set the flipping bar. I started with the Ocotillo Bloody Mary - Excellent. I don't think I fully have words that can describe the overall experience other than it fulfills a foodie dream experience on all levels.

I mean really, did the chef put any salt and pepper on the flesh side of the salmon or did he/she only season the skin side? For the love of God...put some salt on both sides and please only cook it to medium! Just my two cents! I hope management reads this because I'll be returning to The Gladly with a large group of friends in February and we've selected salmon as one of the choices for our group meal. I hope and pray the fish will be cooked properly with seasoning please! Okay, I'm done talking about the salmon! The Chopped Salad was good and the spinach dip was very good! My spicy margarita was also top notch! However, the salmon left a bad taste in my mouth!
