Visited this establishment today once again. Loved it so much the first time, I decided to return. Even from the outside, this eating spot is reminiscent of a 50's diner! Great comfy seating and plenty of booths. This is a diner and not necessarily into healthy options and that's why I gave it a 4/5. No gluten free options! I've had the Eggs Benedict Classic and they are delicious. Just the right amount of creaminess and eggs done to perfection. My friend ordered Nana Dee's breakfast special #3 and said it was delicious! Fun place with great food!

Another delicious breakfast here at Nana's. It's the old five and diner off of southern in the superstition mall you have two jukeboxes great music great food. Some of the food servers have been here between 10 and 15 years. If you don't know what she want. You'll never know you can get a chocolate shake or a malt afterwards. I think they even do banana splits to try. You'll love it. I do.

Breakfast Sandwich ($10 menu, all day everyday I believe!)

Hannah Z.

Came here on a Sunday at 11am, there wasn't a wait time to get seated and there were a decent number of people. A few things I'd note was that the food did take 30 minutes to come out, which was longer than we'd like. We also noticed that when people sat in the booth behind us, the back of the chair pushed into us since it's just a standing cushion. Once the food came out though, we ate right away and weren't disappointed with any of our dishes. As you'd expect from a diner, the house fries (warning, they're not the typical stick fries) were great. The hash browns were good too, but they would've been even better if they had a little more crunch to it. We were all so full from our meals. Now, to the part I'm most excited to review: the pancakes were SO FLUFFY!!! It literally melted in your mouth, like eating a cloud. No knife needed to cut through it because the consistency was perfect. It was probably one of the best pancakes I've had. Our server was very nice and we also loved the true retro design inside. Very fitting for a diner.

We LOVED our two visits last week! I'm sad I waited until the week I moved away to finally visit. Our service both times was awesome. So friendly and down-to-earth. The food was very good; well proportioned and just as you'd like from a diner. My favorite was the hot chocolate...made with real milk and not the watery stuff. Don't pass on this place! It's so fun and there seemed to be a lot of regulars, too.

Two waters and coffee, no refills offered

John C.

We had a simple lunch order and tipped 20%. Our beverages were likewise simple, two waters and a coffee. We were not given or offered any refills in the hour plus that we were there. There were four to five employees talking at the bar so it was not for a lack of employees.

Overdone liver. Your cook should look up how Gordon Ramsey cooks liver so it's not dry and is tender. And I ordered soup and not got it.

Cheri M.

I ordered take out. The liver n onions was not up to par. I even put in my order to cook it lightly. I received liver so overcooked you can't chew. To your cook: look up how Gordon Ramsey cooks liver so it is moist and tender. I also paid extra for soup and did not receive any.

Agnes K.

This is such a cute little diner. The staff is super friendly and definitely a place full of regulars. There were lots of hugs between the waitresses and customers when they were walking in. We had 3 people in our group and we all had Liver and Onions. We haven't had it in years and we were talking about our mom's making it so we heard this was the place to go and it was delish. Also ordered a chocolate milkshake and it tasted just perfect. Real!!

Stephanie M.

We've been wanting to try this warm and welcoming 1950's diner across from the Superstition Springs Mall and we were both seriously disappointed in the food. The vegetables were microwaved, the mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from the box and I can't honestly describe the meatloaf. My boyfriend had the turkey dinner and it looked simply disappointed as if it was pulled out of the freezer and heated to temperature it was a sad experience when it came to the food. I'm giving this place two stars just on the service our waiter was super personal and kind but service alone isn't going to get us to return.

Jenna K.

First time trying this spot and it was a good experience! Pretty empty on a Monday night but a hit with the older crowd we could tell. Seated right away and food came out quickly. It tasted great and it was a fast and easy dining experience. Friendly workers and overall good experience. Simple straight forward diner food and a fun decorated restaurant.

Nice reto diner located next to motel in shopping center. Stopped in for dinner. Service was great and not to crowded. Breakfast served anytime. Had the Southwest Burger with green chilli and your standard condiments with fries. Friendly family business off the beaten path. Menu includes good variety of sandwiches, salads, burgers, and appetizers. Lots of breakfast selections. Dinner choices include meatloaf, fried chicken, fried fish, liver and onions, and a few more. Will be back when staying at motel. read more

Nana Dee's Diner is everything you expect a diner to be. You walk in and everything is chrome and all the photos are famous actors and actresses. We were greeted immediately and sat right away. The menu includes everything you could want for breakfast and it's only made harder by the fact that you can smell everyone else's breakfast. Half our table order chicken fried steak and it was perfect. The other half got eggs Benedict and egg scramble which were equally as good. Not a bit of food was left on any of our plates. We will absolutely be coming back and ordering more off the menu! read more

I ordered the French dip sandwich. It was open faced , not cut in half for easier dipping, piled with a wad of bloody undercooked roast beef with zero flavor and the au jus was flavorless and disgusting. The fries were pretty good. I was willing to let the bad food go and not say anything until I realized my server added a buck to her tip without authorization. I have disputed the charge and got my buck back through bank, but I wouldn't ever go back. read more

We come to Mesa once a month to visit my parents and take them out for a meal of their choice. They hadn't eaten here for a while so we decided to check it out . Besides who doesn't love a 50's diner . It was what I expected when we walked in, cute & clean inside. We were greeted by a nice young man who sat us right away as the place was pretty empty. When the waitress came over she seemed impatient because we didn't know what we wanted yet, (menu is huge) she slapped down the drink card, took that order while we decided on food. I ordered the Arizona Burger it was good, I wanted onion rings in place of fries and the waitress barked that there is an up charge (I already figured that), my husband order the Southwest burger, the green chile was tasteless, my mom ordered the tuna melt, she liked it a lot and my 80 yr old dad got the French dip, the waitress forgot the au jus and when we asked for it she brought back about an 1/8 of a cup, we asked for more as that wasn't even enough to dip a quarter of a sandwich in she got even more irritated. Every time she came back to our table, she seemed more and more irritated, even when my dad asked her for a to go box and cup for his drink. The experience there would've been OK had it not been for the waitress our ticket said the waitress was Robbieeee. Having worked in the food industry as a waitress when I was younger I understand that it can get pretty stressful, but the restaurant was empty and we weren't demanding customers. I'm not sure we'll be returning. read more

First of all, it really feels like an old-school diner. The food matches it perfectly from the pancakes to the chicken fried steak. Everything was great loaded nachos are awesome and even the pot roast was great. The shakes were perfect and they had the metal container of course which always makes it taste better for some reason. read more

We've been customers of Nana Dee's Diner for years and it's been mostly good. However, last weekend my husband and I had dinner there. He ordered a Rueben and I ordered the regular club sandwich. My husband's Rueben was minuscule. Hardly any meat for a sandwich that costs over $15. His fries were cool. My club sandwich was made as the deluxe club, with ham. I ordered the regular club because I don't like ham. I asked them to remake it. Yup....came back with them just taking the ham off. I could still taste the ham, which is a turnoff for me. The waitress was very uninterested in the service. We had to wait over 15 minutes for the check. She was too busy with fiddling around doing who knows what. Anyway, it was a Saturday night and I'm guessing their minds were not on the customers. read more

I love diners, especially diners that serve great or good food and Nana Dee's is now on my growing list of local go-to eateries. Chicken fried steak is usually my first test for a diner and Nana Dee's served up an appreciable chicken fried steak. The over-easy eggs were spot on, hashbrowns delivered tender shredded potatoes under a nicely-done skin and 2 pieces of dry, whole wheat toast were appreciated by someone who has unfortunately become accustomed to 1 piece of toast. My coffee cup was kept full by a very professional and attentive waiter who faithfully accommodated small changes to our orders. Yes, Nana Dee's Diner is now on my list of go-to local eateries and I recommend those reading this review give Nana Dee's a go. read more

Went for first time other day. Got the " senior breakfast " for $14.00 Asked for eggs soft scrambled but they came out less than cooked and runny. They also had a lot of oil/grease on them. The hash browns were almost burnt and super greasy , the biscuit was gummy and undercooked. The sausage patties were also covered in grease. I took a few bites and when the waitress asked if I wanted a box, I said no thanks. This is truly a " greasy spoon" spot and not for me. read more

We recently moved to the area and needed to find a new favorite breakfast spot. The search is over. Came in for brunch on Friday and it was everything we expected and more. The interior is very retro, and so much fun. We were seated right under a picture of Elvis, my husband's favorite musician! He ordered a dish that included biscuits and gravy, I chose the traditional eggs benedict. (That is always the first dish I try at a new spot.) I was so pleasantly surprised when I got my food, the eggs were cooked PERFECTLY for my taste. I don't like runny eggs, most places cook them runny. These were just at the spot in between hard boiled and not quite. Every bite was absolutely delicious, and my breakfast absolutely hit the spot! My husband enjoyed his breakfast as well, we were both totally full until well after our normal dinner time, that speaks volumes! Our server Robbie was very attentive and kept his coffee cup filled, which is so nice. Many servers get busy and forget to check back in. We are really looking forward to coming back. I need to check out some of Nana's offerings!!! read more

Fluffy, delicious eggs. Comfy seats. Smiley employees. Overall pretty good experience. However, the French toast and bacon tasted like standard breakfast diner fare; nothing special. The French toast batter was bland, enveloping standard slices of white sandwich bread, and the bacon was a bit chewy, with an unpleasant smell and flavor; perhaps cooked too close to something pungent (raw beef?) on the grill. I still ate it. When I saw the Nifty Fifty fries in the appetizer section of the menu, I suggested to my hubby that the dish sounded like Poutine, and maybe he should order that for breakfast with a few eggs on top. THAT was delicious. His bacon pieces even tasted like different bacon than the slices I received. My raw beef theory appears to hold up. Service was quick and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. I'd go back to try other items, but unless I'm drunk and craving poutine, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to dine there. read more

We came in with our family and three kids and sat on the patio since we were a larger group. After eating, our kids were sitting in chairs near our table, chatting and moving around a bit. They weren't being loud or disruptive, but a nearby a couple clearly seemed upset. The woman was shaking her head and saying to the waitress "this isn't okay to be doing while people are eating", pointing toward our kids. Once I realized this, I immediately called my kids back over and had them sit with us, and I even let her know that if something was bothering her, she could've told us and I would have addressed it right away. The couple chose to ignore us and left shortly after. The manager then came out and reassured us that Lucky Lou's is a family-friendly restaurant and that our kids were absolutely fine. That meant a lot to us and really showed how supportive and understanding the staff is. I also hope one day that couple realizes how hard it is to keep a 4-, 6-, and 8-year-old sitting at a table for more than 30 minutes without shoving an iPad in front of them. On top of that, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I honestly had the best burger and tater tots of my life. We'll definitely be back--thank you for creating such a kid-friendly and enjoyable place for families!

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Wild berry Diner 4805 E Main Street Mesa, AZ 85205 Companion and I often shop for groceries nearby, and decided to give it a try. I am so glad we did! We arrived for breakfast and the place was packed. Even so, we were seated within a few minutes. Menus were brought for us to peruse. For a starter we both had a large glass of cranberry juice. $3. Emphasis should be on the word large, as in most places you would get a small glass for the same price. Companion ordered the "Fresh Start", which is a big bowl of oatmeal which comes with cranberries, raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, and milk ($6). Companion was unable to finish it all. For myself, I had the Hawaiian omelet which had ham, bacon, pineapple, and mozzarella cheese. While I must admit I have never before had an omelet with these ingredients, it was delicious and big. I could not finish it all. The coffee was bottomless and the service was excellent. Unlike many other places that serve breakfast, we were made to feel truly at home, with friendly people all around. We will be going back again and again, possibly for lunch next time. This is a new favorite place to eat for us. Sanitation was good and food came out quickly. 5 stars.

Went there a couple Sundays ago service was always good quick and very polite ambience is like an old diner back home in Iowa very relaxing so I ordered the 2222 pancakes two eggs, two bacon I wanted steak, but it was off the menu until she could find a better deal on mistakes which I totally understand. Give it a try. I think you'll like it. I know it looks a little messy, but I fixed it through my eggs on top and cut it up before I realized I didn't take a picture. The empty plate would probably have been better because it was delicious.

I was craving a "Tommy Burger" (a SoCal staple) so I ordered a cheeseburger and a bowl of chili. The combination satisfied my craving and then some.

The service was polite and efficient. I'll come again and just order the chili burger now that I know their chili is up to snuff.

AZ Chimney Cakes specializes in Kürtöskalács, a.k.a chimney cakes, an incredible dessert that originated in Hungary. I have Romanian roots and Kürtöskalács are quite popular in Romania. That's where I had my first chimney cake. Located in the same shopping center as a movie theater, a Japanese restaurant, and a bunch of other businesses, I parked without any issues in the free back lot and walked over. Ambiance (4/5): A cozy dessert shop. I felt right at home when I saw a map of Bucharest by the entrance. You order at the counter and then they bring your order out to you. We sat at a table close to the door. Service (5/5): Friendly service and we were fortunate enough to chat with the owner for quite a bit. We learned about the history of the dessert spot and how they're trying out some new ideas. Nice lady. Drinks (N/A): No drinks for me on this visit. Food (5/5): If you've never has a chimney cake, you're in for a treat. They're made to order and customizable. More so than anywhere I've ever seen. You choose your base, toppings, additions, and drizzles. I went with the traditional chimney cake with Biscoff cookies, vanilla ice cream, and Nutella drizzle. Outside of the dessert options, which are the way to go for first timers, if you're feeling adventurous, they also have one or two savory options. The chimney cakes are served warm and absolutely delicious. They're filling too so come with an appetite. It's one of those things everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. So cool to have them in Mesa!

Both my wife and I like this place but we don't enjoy eating here. We have tried it several times and here's our thoughts. They make great malts / shakes and this is a fantastic place to go for that. The 1950's America decor is immersive and fun. Enjoy it for what it is. As an eatery it's more of a place for the older folk. The food is ok but bland and doesn't satisfy. The coffee mugs are too small and so are the water glasses. The pancakes are more doughy than light and fluffy. There's plenty of parking and it's located very close to a big mall and other popular facilities. read more
