    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.

Second -- CASH ONLY There is a Hawaiian inspiration/theme at the The OBH mixed with mexican flavors -- basically if you like a lot of meat with your breakfast then come here. When looking at other people's plates the portions looked very large -- the prices are average -- not cheap but not over the top. I did see someone with a cinnamon roll that looked pretty delicious. My mom had been here one other time and got the cinnamon roll pancakes, which she loved (and why we are here today) -- Nothing was speaking to me on the menu so I just ordered the classic OBH pancakes. I would give them about a 5/10 on the pancake scale. Also they didn't have real maple syrup even to purchase for extra -- they say their syrup is a maple syrup blend -- it wasn't full on plastic but it wasn't real maple syrup. I also ordered a side of scrambled eggs with cheddar -- it was a little runny and overall just average. The coffee was rank -- I would give it a 2/10. Our server was very friendly as was all of the other staff -- that is why I hate to only give 3 stars because it is a great local spot. When we left (around 9am) there was quite a long wait -- so you know it is very popular

Not great quality turkey and they used the tomatoes that taste a little too slimy and rubbery (likely prepared well in advance and got gummy sitting for a few hours it's fine but not my favorite) but bacon was well cooked and not too oily. The bread and the toast on it was the best part of the sandwich. Fries that came with it were good and had a little seasoning salt on them. Friendly and relatively fast service. The place has a tv and a bunch of tables, and it looks like it could easily seat 20 people comfortably despite being a very small little shop. If I worked near here, this would probably be somewhere I could go to frequently. But seeing as this was a close option from where we were and had good ratings, it was good, but nothing special that I would make a point to come back for. The menu was relatively large, though, so this should be a solid option if you're on the fence about what you want to eat for breakfast or lunch.

My husband i stayed here for two nights as a staycation for his birthday and we needed it to reset and recharge. we've visited this property in the past and they are always so helpful and it's easy to get around, albeit the hilly parking might make those prone to anxiety a little wary. but overall, this was a great time away from our home. The reason i'm updating my review to three stars is because there is absolutely no enforcement of the 21+ rule at the adult pool. While taking a night swim on our last night, we witnessed two teenagers openly fighting and throwing f bombs at a guest who was trying to ask them to not leave their little sister alone in the pool while they cared more about their stupid tik tok dance.
