    Fries super crispy and the curry ketchup they give with it supper tasteful I wanted more of it and the dawg was packed with Cole slaw and had good seasoning and taste nothing bad to say but the Mac and cheese was alright tasted like the cheap fake cheese you get at stores was poured over it as the cheese base which wasn't that good tasted like some soggy nachos from the gas station kind of cheese lots of sitting outside but inside only a few , cute little spot for cheap drinks and food

    Beer, cocktails, AND SPRITE?!

    This spot is your dream neighborhood southwestern dive bar/eatery offering a rich variety of comfort foods that are best accompanied by a beer, cigarette, and a friendly conversation. Stop in after work to rest your tired bones and recalibrate your brain before going home. Meet your friends there to pregame and make sure you don't go out on an empty stomach. (Then inevitably end up staying here till last call) definitely worth checking out.

    Good food at this hip little bar/restaurant. Food is served hot and delicious. I had the Sloppy Joe with Jalapeño poppers, my daughter had the Sonoran Hot Dog with Chili cheese French fries. Really good food. I'd definitely recommend this place. Open until 2 am.

    Amazing food service and ambiance!!!!! The best ambiance ever. I love going here and it's only my first time. Order the sloppy Joe.

    Great local spot. I live in the neighborhood, so it's an easy walk for a casual dinner. The food is what you'd expect from a diner- flavorful and mostly unhealthy. I enjoyed the loaded onion rings, elote, and potato salad. They have $3 beer specials, and I was impressed that their seasonal special was a sour. The servers and cooks are always friendly and happy to help.

    Great late night spot if you're looking for straightforward food. They took over Welcome Diners original spot and it kinda made me feel nostalgic dining here again. I ordered the brisket sandwiches and although it was good, it was a bit dry and tough. The sidewinder fries were loaded with chilli and toppings. I would definitely order the elote corn ribs again

    Solid spot after landing late at PHX. Ordered a couple hot Nashville chicken sandos & fries, and a Modelo. Perfect late night grinds thait the spot. Good, friendly service. Locals hanging out. Will definitely be back.

    This is a cool bar and doesn't get busy due to it being away from all the bars on Roosevelt Row. However the bartender was extremely rude and my friend and I came by after work to chat and get a quick bite to eat.I probably would not come back due to how the bartender acted. Very dismissive and acted like we were interrupting her conversation with the male patrons. The chef was super friendly and she should take notes on how to be more welcoming especially if you are working in the service industry. We got the jalapeño poppers- 8/10 tasted similar to the TGI fridays you get in the frozen section at frys. Sloppy joe- 5/10 the mayo doesn't pair well Sonoran dog- 7/10 good amount of toppings No parking on-site and a lot of sketch people walking around.

    How can you give this place anything other than a 5?! In fact, I'd give it a 10 if Yelp wasn't a self serving autocracy but I digress. Hands down, the staff is #1. Quick to help you understand the wildly delicious menu, but also provide those needed libations whether it's a shot with dinner, or a beer to end the night. Phoebe. Jake. All stars. Always accommodating and good for a belly laugh or three. Ambiance is great, can go from mellow hip hop to outlaw country, it's a decent amalgamation of what Phoenix is truly about. Let me start with the food, holy moly. I've never had Elote like this in my life. Every time I go, I always start with the Elote. Wash that down with a Nashville hot chicken (best in the valley) to finish. Hands down best new bar in the valley.

    Let me start with the drinks, because they deserve it. The chocolate egg cream, which contains…read moreneither egg nor cream (the audacity), sounds like something a seven year old invented during a fever dream. It was gone in five minutes and I would have licked the glass if my husband wasn't watching. I also had a cherry phosphate, and if you have never had a phosphate, I am genuinely sorry for your loss. I have been a fan since my first one at Aglamesis Bros in Cincinnati, and this one brought back every bit of that sour, tangy, cherry nostalgia. Order both. Alternate sips. You're welcome. The Reuben was a heavy hitter. Corned beef so tender it practically dissolved, sauerkraut quiet enough to stay in its lane while still adding a nice salty backbone, and I had the good sense to ask for extra thousand island for dipping. That was a power move and I stand by it. My husband had the meatloaf sandwich special, which was so good I spent the rest of the meal in quiet mourning over my own ordering choices. Absolutely outstanding, no notes. The potato salad he got as his side was excellent too, which only added to my suffering. Now. The sides. The fries are mandatory. Hot, fresh, crispy outside, perfectly smooth and creamy inside, and tossed in some seasoning I cannot identify but will be thinking about for the next several weeks. Critical note: put the ketchup down. It clashes with the seasoning in a way that will disappoint you. Get a side of mayo instead and dip accordingly. Genuinely life changing. The Hawaiian coleslaw, on the other hand, is a trap I walked into so you do not have to. Sweet coleslaw is already a divisive concept, and this one doubles down with chunks of pineapple thrown in for reasons I can only describe as chaotic. If tropical fruit in your coleslaw is your thing, go for it. If you have any savory coleslaw loyalty whatsoever, order literally anything else. The ambiance is pure nostalgia, antiques everywhere you look, sandwiched on both sides by an antique shop, which is fitting because this whole place feels like a time capsule in the best possible way. And for my fellow vinyl collectors, this is a hidden gem. I turned around approximately six times and found a new box of records every single time. I did not come here expecting to go digging, but I am absolutely coming back to do exactly that. Apparently I cannot go anywhere without finding another way to spend money on albums. No regrets, this place has great taste in more ways than one.

    I did visit MacAlpine's in the past and occasionally do so now and I loved every time I came here…read more I would usually visit here with my mother (now deceased 2024) and she would especially enjoy herself when we would come here, as she grew up in Phoenix went to Phoenix Tech high school in the 1950's - often coming here to MacAlpine's as a teenager. To hear her reminisce about those times long ago was awesome and to have her say that this place hasn't changed much was equally as awesome. There are now three generations of us that visit MacAlpine's faithfully - I hope you will too. It's a very special place. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen

    Instant nostalgia walking in as this location used to be a 5 & Diner that I'd been frequenting…read moresince the 1990s with my Nanny (British for Grandma). I'd been meaning to try this location after seeing a few of my fellow Yelper friends review this place. Just like they said, this place did not disappoint! Serving up quality diner food with friendly service, classic hits, and blast from the past decor. What We Ordered: - Steak & Eggs: Under $20?! Count me in! Seasoned well and cooked perfectly to order for both the over easy eggs and medium rare steak. Breakfast perfection! - Patty Melt: My boyfriend said it was delicious, and the small bite I tried was great. You can tell they season their burger patties. Honestly, we both left very impressed as all the food was seasoned well and cooked beautifully. Who says diner food can't be done well?! Nana Dee's has set the standard for diner food!

Delicious and plentiful food, recommended by Valerie - difficult to get out of our seats to close out and get back on the road, truth be told.

Lovely, well-kept and bright American Diner experience with vibrant decor to keep your eyes busy while you have a short wait for your food. Valerie was there every step of the way to ensure our needs were met and our questions were answered. First Class experience - thank you
