    The GT

    The staff is really nice and attentive. The food was really good. Those cheese fries were some of my favorite I've ever had. You feel like you're actually in a 1950's diner too. Will definitely be coming back.

    Everything about this lace was excellent. Set up as a 50's dinner. Lots of memorable on the walls. With two old gas pumps. Friendly helpful people working there. Playing 50's and 60's music. I got the F250 burger. Way more than I usually eat. Hamburger patties were thick. Next time I will only do one patty . Lots of different foods on the menu to explore. This is one of those places you want to return to many times. They treat you like they are really glad you are there and want you to return.

    This place is located in the middle of car dealership. Soon as you walk in, it gives off the retro diner vibe. You pick up the menu then order what you want at cashier station. I had Continental Burger and it was pretty good. Definition worth come back to.

    For the price...it was solid. Small little spot that just makes food. I appreciate the little things. Fresh cut fries were awesome and my patty melt was meat on rye bread with some onions. You can't mess that up. My buddy got a nice omelet and we both got sodas for under $20 total. This little diner is nestled in a cool little mall with a truck dealership. Don't be scared, go grab some grub. They are super nice in there.

    I ordered something at this cute little diner that's on the don Sanderson Ford property, and it's so quaint and delicious. I ordered the Ranchero with a side of onion rings, and I highly recommend it. I got mine to go, but you can eat there on regular plates as well.

    My only complaint is the employees don't wear masks and 60% of the customers don't wear masks. Being that Arizona is the number one hotspot for Covid in the world I don't think that's very smart. That being said, the employees are always friendly and helpful and the food is fantastic and if you don't see it, they will make it custom. An easy five star rating had they been safety conscious.

    This is a very cute diner. It takes you back in time. The service is great. The food was wonderful. I love the music from back in the 50s and 60s. This is a must have for a brunch if you're in the area it's not just a meal.

    I really liked this place. The overall vibe was great and the service was so friendly. Reminded me of an old school diner. The burger was good too! I got the Deuce Coupe with green chile. I also tried the Caesar salad which was okay. The chicken was the best part on the salad!

    I never knew this place existed until my husband needed to drop off his work truck at Sanderson Ford. This little hidden gem is in the parking lot of the service department. This review is based solely on beverages, customer service and cleanliness. So my son and I thought we would just wait in our vehicle for my husband but it was a hot October afternoon. Yep a hot October afternoon. Too hot to sit outside and wait. We went inside this cute little diner for something cool to drink. A Coke for me, my son a chocolate shake. The lady at the counter was extremely nice and pleasant. She filled my drink. The cook made the shake. They use Thrifty Ice Cream. How cool is that? I can't wait to go back and try the food. They have daily breakfast and lunch specials for $4.99. And when the weather is a little more agreeable they have ramada covered tables outside. Everything about this experience was pleasant. The diner was clean and reminded me ofmy favorite New Jersey diner.

    Here's a polished version of your review:…read more I didn't expect this place to be anything special at first--just another little hole-in-the-wall brunch spot. But I was genuinely surprised by how great the entire experience turned out to be. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The servers were kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The owner even came by our table to talk with us about the restaurant, their values, and the care they put into making everything from scratch. That personal touch, along with a complimentary dessert, really made the experience memorable. The food was outstanding. The chicharrones were perfectly crunchy and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The salsa tasted incredibly fresh and paired well with everything on the table. The carne asada was cooked beautifully, developing a flavorful crust from the Maillard reaction, which gave it that rich, savory, slightly crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Overall, this was one of those restaurants that completely exceeded my expectations. Between the warm hospitality, attention to detail, and excellent food, it's a place I'll definitely be coming back to. If you're looking for authentic Mexican brunch with great people behind it, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Also nice clean bathroom

Trying to book my mom's 50th birthday party was a nightmare. Emails went unanswered, phone calls weren't returned, and I ultimately had to drive there in person just to get the event booked. After finally securing the date, I waited for a follow-up regarding the details, only to discover that the general manager had been let go. I was given the new GM's name and phone number, but despite multiple calls and text messages, I was completely ghosted. This left me scrambling to find another venue with only one month before an important family celebration. No customer should be left hanging like that after booking an event. This was actually my second chance giving Lola's another opportunity because I genuinely like the vibe of the place. The first time, my group of only six people was still enjoying drinks when staff told us we had to leave at 11:00 p.m. because there wasn't enough business to justify staying open. That experience was disappointing, but I decided to give them another shot anyway. Sadly, after this experience, I won't be returning. Great atmosphere means very little when communication, professionalism, and customer service are consistently lacking.

We looked at the website and noticed that they had some gluten-free alternatives for my hubby so that was a plus in our book. First thing we saw when we walked in was all the goodies that they have for their bloody Mary bar. They had over 30 different items that you could add to your Bloody Mary for as little as $14. This included meatballs, and bacon. Everyone that we spoke to was kind and very friendly. Son decided on the peanut butter and jelly French toast, hubby decided on the lemon ricotta and blueberry compote gluten-free pancakes, and since I knew I would be sharing the bougie biscuits. I just ordered two fried eggs. One of the things that was so great about this place -for especially gluten-free eaters - is that they were willing to adjust or accommodate almost anything on the menu in order to make it adaptable. The host, the gentleman behind the bloody Mary bar and our server were very well educated. The restaurant was super cute and had a vibe with black-and-white sayings all over the wall. The food was delicious although my husband said the pancakes were a little dense, but that's to be expected for gluten-free pancakes. Phoenix area ( Peoria) had some really good restaurants to choose from!
