    Heard a lot about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Called in our order and it was ready for pickup when they said it would be. Omelet was good, flavorful. Great indoor seating sets, little novelty gift shop with all sorts of goodies. Hostess was very friendly, staff seemed happy. Great atmosphere.

    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!

    Best breakfast in Flagstaff! Service was quick and the portions were huge! Highly recommend.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

Somewhere along the line, we missed the boat. I ordered the Lumberyard mac & cheese and added pulled chicken and roasted poblanos. My goodness it was a lot of food. The mac & cheese was good, not southern good, but still good. The poblanos were a perfect addition but the chicken was drowned in a cloyingly sweet BBQ sauce. I definitely wouldn't order the chicken again. The hubs had the Santa Maria tri tip. The meat was tough. Quite a few pieces too tough to even chew. Luckily, my meal was huge so he had that to fill up on. I saw the 32 oz cocktails and the former party girl in me immediately kicked in. I think my husband saw the look in my eyes. Maybe the aura around me and put a kabosh on it immediately. I ended up with a 16 oz, still large but that inner 22 years old was disappointed. 32 oz and you should be stumbling down San Fransisco. 16 oz should have at least brought a big 'ol grin. But alas, I couldn't even taste the alcohol. That inner party girl didn't let out that big 'ol grin. (That's ok. The tolerance of 22 year old me has faded through the years). Enough digression, would we come back? Yes, I think it's worth a second shot. We would, however, try something different.

Hospitality matters to me just as much as what's on the plate because great restaurants don't just serve meals; they create memories. Unfortunately, Shift became one I'll never forget for the wrong reasons. Our day couldn't have been further from what the staff assumed. We spent the morning hiking, went back to rest, explored a local bookstore, grabbed ice cream, and walked to our dinner reservation. Not one alcoholic drink had been consumed by anyone in our group the entire day. Not one. We also had a child with us. The only conversation we had with the host before being seated was asking whether it was okay that we had arrived about twenty minutes early for our reservation. We were polite, excited, and looking forward to dinner. Then my husband ordered a beer. The waitress immediately refused because she claimed the hostess believed my husbands speech and mannerisms meant he was intoxicated. Read that again. A guest who had consumed zero alcohol all day was judged to be intoxicated. I understand the responsibility restaurants have. If someone is genuinely impaired, absolutely don't serve them. Every responsible restaurant should protect its guests and its liquor license. But there is an equally important responsibility that seems to have been forgotten: making sure your judgment is actually right before labeling someone. There was no bar crawl. No cocktails beforehand. No wine tasting. No brewery stop. No hidden drinks. There wasn't even one drink. We left feeling embarrassed, confused, and honestly caught off guard. Not because a beer was refused, but because a person was reduced to an assumption based solely on how they naturally presented themselves. Here's what makes the experience even harder to understand. After leaving Shift, we walked to Atria, where we remained for approximately two hours. We talked, enjoyed ourselves, and spent the evening there without issue. If someone in our party had truly been intoxicated wouldn't that have been obvious there as well? It wasn't. Food can be good. Cocktails can be creative. Service can be polished. None of that matters if hospitality disappears the moment someone doesn't fit your expectation of what a guest "should" look or sound like. Maybe perhaps because we weren't locals we seemed off ? To anyone considering Shift, especially if you're traveling with someone whose speech, mannerisms, or disability could be misunderstood, know that this was our experience. I hope the restaurant reflects on what happened and asks itself a difficult question: How many guests have we mistaken for being intoxicated when, in reality, they simply communicated differently? Because that's not just a missed beer. That's a missed opportunity to treat someone with dignity. I came to Flagstaff excited to discover one of its most " creative" restaurants. Instead, I left wondering how quickly a restaurant built on hospitality could make a guest feel so unwelcome. Simply , because my husband is a restaurant manager in Las Vegas, who has managed restaurants like Yellowtail, Herbs&Rye, Gjelina, and Edo we left out of respect for the industry. However, we should have got our deposit automatically refunded. Next time, take the time. Take the time to care. If a staff member is under this assumption, management intervene not to just follow said assumption and repeat what she said, but to hold an actual conversation with your guest, to evaluate , to observe, to understand. I promise you, that would change so many things for you.

    Oh, Black Bart's! I haven't been here since college, but when we were heading to Flagstaff with the…read morekids this weekend, we decided it was time for a return visit. This restaurant is AN EXPERIENCE. The servers were fantastic, attentive, enthusiastic, and clearly talented. Shout-out to the waiter who looked like Mandy Patinkin (minus the mullet). That man was truly giving it his all! The performances were so much fun and definitely the reason to come here. My only performance critique is that I wish the soprano singers had microphones during the group numbers. There were some STRONG tenor belters nearby, so it was sometimes hard to hear the women, but they still did a great job. Now, the food... oof. This is where things fell apart. Everything seemed to be either overcooked or runny. The salmon was burnt, the calamari was crispy beyond recognition, and the fettuccine Alfredo was so runny it was basically pasta soup. It also took forever for our food to arrive. Maybe that's part of the strategy so you have more time to enjoy the show? Ironically, the best meal at the table was my 8-year-old's burger, and honestly, her kids portion was incredible. She definitely won the dinner lottery. I think Black Bart's is a once-on-a-Flagstaff-visit experience. The entertainment is unique, the servers make it fun, and there's really nothing else quite like it. But with the prices and the quality of the food on our visit, I don't think we'll be rushing back. Sorry, Black Bart's. I still love you, but we need to work on that cookin'!
