Nana Dee's Diner - Diners Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Good old-fashioned cooking. We especially like liver and onions. Acute 50s theme. Open all days.

Picked this place to meet a high school friend who was visiting her relatives in Mesa. So, I found this place on Yelp and picked it because it was near the Superstition mall and thought it would be an easy location for her to find. That was a good choice. She found it easily and we had breakfast. Food was average/ to slightly above average diner food. It wasn't gourmet but that's not what we were expecting so that was no disappointment on our parts. Had a lovely breakfast and coffee. If you're in the area and need good homestyle food I'd recommend this place. read more

Great food, service and "diner" decor. Clean. No complaints. You'll enjoy your dining experience here.

Was hoping for a killer omelette. I ordered the steak omelette. For the price, I was a bit surprised on how little fixings were inside the omelette. It was quite small. With coffee, omelette, hash browns a biscuit, and 20% tip, out the door, it was over $20.00. The older gentleman that seated and waitress were pleasant. The ambiance was fun and very retro. read more

Love it here, servers are the best. The breakfast foods we ordered were delicious and timely, the coffee was delicious and the diner was clean and comfortable. The lighting inside was warm and welcoming. My best friend and I loved our whole experience and will come again. read more

Absolutely love their homemade milkshakes! I got the club sandwich, very good. Waiter was very efficient and friendly.

I have a thing about going to restaurants that may not have very stellar reviews. In some cases they have terrible reviews. I choose to give them a chance because I read those negative reviews and so many of them neg the place for totally bogus reasons, or I check how they reviewed other places and see that the ones they give 5-stars to are places like Applebees or Olive Garden, ie. cookie-cutter national chains. Nana Dee's has some pretty low reviews too but most of them targeted the food as being pretty bad. Knowing that this place took over a failed 5-and-Diner I honestly didn't expect them to be anything special. Turns out this is one of those times the low reviews were right on point, this place is nothing special. The red flags were there when we approached one afternoon and the parking lot was deserted. We walked in and there was one other couple in the whole place and they were very loudly and animatedly complaining that their food was "garbage". It seemed there was an argument going in between them and the owner. After the couple got up an left and we were all alone with the owner and a waiter what do you think happened? Not what you think. At least not what I would have done If I was the owner. I would have walked over to our table, apologized for the commotion, welcomed us to the restaurant and chatted with us a bit. Nope. After very loudly yelling across the room the owner walked out, totally ignored us, the ONLY customers in the entire restaurant! I have met so many wonderful, friendly and hard working restaurant owners in recent months who work their tails off and pour their hearts into their business and usually I slide their review up a point or two to help offset some of the unfair negatives and encourage others to at least give them a chance. But not here. It's obvious this place is on a crash course to oblivion. By the way, my hamburger was "chain restaurant mediocre", not terrible but (and this is something I can't believe I'm saying) I think I would have preferred a Big Mac. read more

Good food, friendly staff and unique atmosphere. Breakfast food was good as was the Monte cristo and clam chowder. Great malts.

Wonderful place with great service. The fried potatoes tasted fresh cooked and not precooked and soggy like most restaurants.

Great atmosphere and good food! Service was great. The menu is extensive. I only give 4 out of 5 only because it's not diner prices.

I was in the area and decided to try Nana Dee's Diner. I was greeted by friendly staff, service was great. Prices are reasonable. I ordered a burrito, my friends ordered an omelette and a sandwich. Proportions are big! We were all satisfied with our meals. We will definitely be back! Delicious!!!! read more

Good food, fun atmosphere! Haven't been here in awhile, but I'm glad we decided to go!

Great hamburgers. I had the Southwest with a poblano chili and mushrooms. It was delicious!

My husband was thinking 3 out of five. Unfortunately we were disappointed. Reading all the reviews we decided to try it anyway. I got the corn beef hash and my husband got the steak omelette. Mine was SO salty! I couldn't hardly eat it. When she brought it out I could see the salt sprinkled on top of it. My husbands omelette was average. He said it was " safe to eat". Service was so so as we were welcomed in with a smile but once we were sat that was it for hospitality. When our food came back we never saw our server again. And lastly, what American doesn't love duct tape, right? But I mean if you are trying to get going and have just opened, starting off with everything covered in tape as a permanent fix isn't going to help the " come and eat here again" appeal. read more

Nice atmosphere. Great food. We had the corn beef hash Benedict. Very good will be back.

Generic, bland, canned, frozen food. They waitress was great and very friendly, but the food definitely needs some help!

Come hungry, leave w/your dinner in a To-Go container because you complained about the cold steak & the under cooked fish/fish batter is this places motto! I have been to a few diners in PA & NY so I expected the same here w/both friendly atmosphere & good quality food. We got neither. This being our 1st time here, it is safe to say it will be our last. $34 for a to-go container during an All You Can Eat fish dinner after only eating 2pcs & having the other 3 shoved into a box w/out even the option of ordering dessert is very unprofessional. Bottom line? Don't offend the cook or you will get the same treatment. Happy Valentine's Day read more

This place is so cute! I wish I'd visited it sooner. Came in on a Sunday craving cherry pie. 50's music, very cool old-school decor, an actual jukebox, and very kind staff. They asked if I wanted my pie warmed up and if I wanted ice cream with it. I'm so in love with this sweet little diner now and will be back! read more

I hadn't been here in years since I was little in the late 90's but it's still as nostalgic as ever. I LOOOOVE the 50's theme and the service was awesome! I got the "Pancakes and meat" and a side of egg. It was all so delicious and it makes me wanna go back so bad. I live kinda far but I would totally make the drive. It's such a nice touch putting jukeboxes on the tables. read more

Classic 50's diner vibe and good food to match. The outside of the place is funky but it shouldn't stop you. They master the basics here!
