Been here several times in the past few months...ALWAYS PACKED and always consistent! Today the Country Benedict and I got photos. The biscuits are MASSIVE first and foremost. Dense with just enough spring to them. I should've asked for butter and honey because I'm sure they would've been really bomb! Sausage country gravy was good...could've been a tad warmer temp-wise...that's my preference. Green hatch chiles were awesome. Hash browns, request well done and crispy. Service is always attentive and professional. Parking is wonk, but the food and atmosphere is so well worth it!

I haven't been here for over 30 years. It's been renamed Mike's Place and Ronda's Place so, maybe they're back together or are on speaking terms. Lol I ordered biscuits and gravy, a cinnamon roll, and grits. The biscuits and gravy needed sausage drippings for me. This is just classic reux made of flour, milk, salt, and pepper. The biscuits looked like rolls but crumbled like biscuits. The cinnamon rolls was no fresh and was reheated. It came out really crunchy and hard. They brought out a second one and was soft but not necessarily better. It needed more butter and cinnamon and the glaze was horrible. The grits weren't anything better. Just your standard grits. Nothing special about it. Same thing with the pancakes and omelets. Nothing special. It wasn't like I remembered or maybe I just want to forget about this place.

Overall we had a great breakfast this morning! We appreciate them getting our group of 16 sat pretty quickly and our server was great. Everyone enjoyed their food but was a bummer that they ran out of chorizo and no alcohol but it wasn't the end of the world. My vanilla latte was amazingly made and all eggs were cooked perfectly to order for everyone.

Pork Chop with Biscuits & Gravy

My partner and I ate at Mike & Ronda's during a weekend Flagstaff trip. We went on a Saturday morning so there was a wait. But it's not terrible; they text you when your table is ready so you can wait in your car instead of outside the restaurant. They told us 25 minutes but it ended up being closer to 15 minutes. The service was friendly. Our server checked in frequently and made sure we had what we needed. For food is where I'm a little torn. Overall it was good, but it wasn't great. Very typical "mom and pop breakfast joint" food. I got the Chicken Fried Steak and the meat was very fatty. We also asked for our hashbrowns to be extra crispy, but they were pretty standard. When the server dropped them off she made a comment about the kitchen being busy and this was as crispy as they could make them. On a positive note, the portions are massive. You definitely won't leave hungry! If you're looking for decently priced, decent food - then this is your stop.

Arizona Omelet

Get ready for a hefty portion. The biscuits are huge but soft. The gravy ln needed a little more flavor (salt & sausage drippings). I had the chicken fried steak which was seasoned great. Pancakes were good not great ( cooked a little more and brown the pancake a little more). The servers were great super nice and attentive. Quick service and accurate. Our server over heard my sister tell her husband that they would share her plate and when the food came out she had already split the meal on separate plates which was awesome. The omelette was delicious and fluffy. The location has plenty of space and had that old school dinner feel. Very clean and inviting. Simply a great experience.

Roast Beef Melt, French Fries
Stephanie V.

This was a great diner near NAU for us travelers on our first morning here in Flagstaff. Downtown was swarming with hungry folks during dormitory move-in. We were having trouble finding parking or anything without an hour wait. We drove a couple streets out of the downtown area and spotted this restaurant. We also noticed lots of parking available nearby in front of the diner, in the side lot, and behind the restaurant in another large lot, and decided to give it a try. We are glad that we did. We had no wait to get a table for five. Service was extremely friendly and helpful. Our server asked if we wanted a Cinnamon Bun for the table as we waited for two people in our party after taking our drink order. We said that sounded great as we were very hungry. We ordered: - House Made Cinnamon Bun - Coffee x 3 - Unsweetened Ice Tea - Grand Canyon Steak - A full pound USDA Choice top sirloin steak so big it comes on its own plate. Served with 2 eggs, hash browns and choice of biscuits and gravy, toast or pancakes - Roast Beef Melt with cheddar cheese and green chiles on sour dough, French Fries - Half Pound Cheeseburger, Deep-fried Green Beans - Bowl of Oatmeal with raisins, brown sugar and 2% milk I absolutely LOVED the roast beef melt. The sourdough was nice and sour, toasted, and buttered. A good serving of beef with melted real cheddar cheese and delicious hatch Chiles. A solid filling and flavorful sandwich. These French fries were so good - these are the good kind: crispy battered outside and soft inside. Hubs also really enjoyed the huge sirloin steak. He definitely got his protein. Our daughters really loved their Oatmeal with all the fixings, the 1/2 lb. Cheeseburger and the fried green beans. The cinnamon bun and pancakes weren't really our cup of tea. They were a little too sweet. There is seating in two rooms and along the bar. Restrooms are also available for customers. In all, we were thankful to have found such a nice spot to get some good, hot food with friendly service.

Open-Faced Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes Lunch
Susan H.

Classic diner feel with tons of character... and characters! The place is clean with super friendly staff. Our waitress was very personable, great sense of humor and quick to keep our drinks refilled. Checked on us often and was a load of fun to interact with. The food... oh yes! I started with the soup of the day: Chicken Vegetable which was loaded with chicken and vegetables. It was such a hearty "cup" of soup that I could have made it my meal and left satisfied. Our entrees were Open Faced Turkey and Mashed Potatoes (husbands) and Open Faced Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes. So homey and comforting... and filling! I really struggled to finish mine, but hubby to the rescue! This is a great place for good ol' home cooking! I promise you won't leave hungry and will have a smile on your face from the super friendly staff!

As a Mexican, it's super hard to find good, authentic Mexican food in Flagstaff. Lots of "locals"…read more() will lead you astray with their recommendations however, Madrez is the spot to be!!! I've eaten here countless times and I'm never disappointed. They serve breakfast and lunch and have a variety of dishes, including vegetarian options. Their waffles are incredible as are their burritos, skillets, tostadas, and gorditas. Breakfast always comes with a side of whole beans (flavored with ham hock) which are super fresh. I can truly say there's nothing bad on this menu! The staff is always super welcoming and friendly and the ambiance is refreshing. It's a smaller space and it does get pretty busy, so be aware of that. The best part is that the cafe is family owned, with roots in Playa del Carmen, MX. I HIGHLY recommend Madrez if you're looking for a delicious and authentic Mexican brunch spot. Support local!

Unfortunately, it felt overpriced for what we received. The portions were quite small, and overall…read morethe food didn't live up to the cost. My partner and I ordered a chorizo burrito, a skillet poblano, and a plain waffle. While everything was just okay, it honestly felt like something we could have made better at home. I especially wouldn't recommend the waffles -- they were very airy, almost like toast, and at $14 they just didn't feel worth it. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it's not somewhere I'd return to.

**July 2026: Tuesday and Wednesday Morning**…read more I usually make it a point to try new places when I travel, so the fact that I ate at Forêt FLG twice in the same trip should say everything about how much I enjoyed it. I was initially drawn in after hearing that Chef Sam Greenhalgh was a semifinalist for the 2024 James Beard Award (Best Chef: Southwest), and I was curious to try his food for myself. On my first visit, my friend and I ordered the Canelés de Bordeaux, Pain au Chocolat, Soft Scrambled Egg Plate, and Breakfast Burrito. We came back again for breakfast and tried the scrambled eggs toast and a savory waffle. Everything we had was delicious, but the Soft Scrambled Egg Plate was truly something special. The eggs were unbelievably light and fluffy, paired with perfectly buttered, toasted bread that somehow felt magical in its simplicity. The heirloom tomatoes and creamy avocado added such a fresh, balanced touch. It's a simple dish, but the execution was exceptional--and honestly, that's what makes it so memorable. I know it sounds a little crazy to return twice for something so simple, but it was just that well done. The breakfast burrito was a strong second favorite. We took it to go as we continued our road trip toward the Four Corners Monument, and it held up really well. It was packed with flavor, and I especially loved that the tortilla had a nice crisp to it. The pastries were also excellent--flaky, buttery, and everything you'd hope for--but for me, that scrambled egg plate is the standout and something I would come back for again and again.

Order at Front Counter, they deliver to your table, CS is Great!…read morePretty loud, especially when young adults are crying or screaming! Right on Route 66, love the area, very eclectic.

Plenty of parking around, and plenty kids/adults in Christmas outfits which made this place magical. Hotel is located in pine tree forest, which is amazing with a lot of hiking trails through the woods, even the playground is in the the woods which is amazing. They also have outside pools which is facing the wood. There is pathway to the hotel, everything is super organized and nice. On the front entrance there are people who are very helpful. Hotel lobby is also magical with fire place and nice sofa and beautiful decorations. On the right side there is a check in point for North Pole experience which is also super organized with no confusion. Definitely will stay here next time. All the employees were super nice and helpful

Stayed here on two occasions in June and overall impression is it's a nice resort type hotel in…read moreterms of room and facilities but service could use improvement. We had a standard queen room both times and it's spacious, bathroom has two sinks one in and one out so yconvenient for two people sharing. The pool is a roundish shape but large enough to swim some laps when there aren't a lot of children there. There are four 2 level inter connected buildings and #4 being the furthest away from the lobby - you can park your car (parking is free) close to any building but it's a bit of a walk on foot. Location is a bit out of town not walking distance to downtown Flagstaff. Rating it a 3 star due to service. On a day when they don't seem to be full they still wouldn't accommodate a late check out by just an hour (at noon instead of 11 am) which I didn't think would have made any difference to them but would have made a huge one for us. Then there is the breakfast. Nice dining room and all, but service was slow and the food came lukewarm, this at a time when it was early and hardly anyone in the dining room. And in addition to that, I had tea and it came in a tea pot with one weak tea bag, and as I like my tea strong I asked for another tea bag in the same pot and was told I'd be charged a second pot of tea ($5). This kind of stinginess just doesn't befit the seeming stature of such a hotel. And finally, the teacup they gave me had a long crack in it - I discovered it when i saw the saucer filing up with tea and didn't think I spilled any in it. The crack was old and stained, not a new one, so it was shocking that no staff had noticed it for this long and cared enough to not continue using it. Let's just say I'd never encountered broken cups like this in lesser priced motels. For this trip to Flagstaff I also had a two-night stay in another hotel downtown and other than the swimming pool, it was much better value and more comfortable with more helpful staff - and no broken tea cups!

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.

Not dog-friendly as listed…read more I've eaten here before and the place is fantastic! Both the ambience and food is top-notch. The only problem I have with it is that on a recent trip through town I made a point of stopping here with my dog, both their yelp listing and Apple maps listing have them down as dog friendly. I was turned away at the door because they do not allow dogs.
