Nice 50's atmosphere albeit noisy. Had breakfast of eggs, ham and "home fries." Potatoes were frozen from a bag, not fresh. Biscuits were frozen from a bag. Service was OK. Seems to be popular with the 70+ crowd.

5 & DINER was an awesome little diner across the parking lot behind my hotel. Inside is typical 50s/60s decor with a few tables and a long bar to sit at similar to Waffle House! Ordered the Pancake Breakfast, 2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 Strips of bacon, and 2 sausage patties a small orange juice and a cup of coffee. Service was great, very friendly staff. Had a great baseball chat with the host, a fellow misplaced Red Sox fan. Waitress was very sweet and recommended everything. Price was amazing at meal + tip totaling at $14.97! Definitely recommend this great diner if you're hungry for breakfast in Meza! Service: 5/5 (Seated quickly, Good Conversation, refills quickly) Food: 4/5 (2 Pancakes, 2 Sausages, 2 pieces of Bacon, all cooked great) Atmosphere: 5/5 (I Love 50's/60's décor and I love diners so works out well for me.) Price: 5/5 (2 Pancakes, 2 Sausages, 2 pieces of Bacon, 1 Orange Juice, 1 Coffee $3.00 Tip = $14.97)

Cute place and I love the old fashioned malt shop ambience, but I will most likely not return. Everytime we've gone our orders are messed up in one way or another. I made the mistake this time of sitting at the counter in front of the food pick up window. They mixed our orders together so that neither of us got what we asked for. The cook had a question, but couldn't get the waitresses attention so he cooked what he thought was written which was wrong. Disappointed, but not a deal breaker. As I'm eating I'm watching the waitresses and hostess make toast. Their long, nasty fingernails all over the toast, no gloves and one had a band-aid on the tip of one of her fingers. Then the cook in the back comments "these plates are filthy." The clincher, a black hair in my husband's eggs. Note to the staff: If you're handling dirty plates and order slips please put some gloves on before you start handling people's orders. I'm so disgusted by this place. Wait, one more thing...one woman scratched her head and then proceded to butter toast. Also, to the cooks in the back...cover your long, nasty moustaches. Enough said!

Cute little building. I ordered soup, it was awful, I didn't complain, the server asked me if I would like to try the other soup, I did, it was awful too. My entree, meatloaf was not a loaf, it was like pieces of ground beef with way too much stuff on it. The mashed potatoes were good, I ate those. Priced reasonably. The server/the service was good.

Atmosphere was old timey. Food was tasteless which is great for people that were born in the early 1900's. If you don't mind hearing all the old people talking loud cause they didn't turn their hearing aides up. Service was mediocre. I would not recommend it to anybody that like flavor in their food and likes a little peace and quiet while they eat

Kind of reminds me of a Johnny Rockets. We only had ice cream so I can't comment on the food. The ice cream on the other had was wonderful!
(4)Amanda T.
Love this place! If you sit outside you can smoke and bring your dog. Their milkshakes are to die for! Love their burger and fries.

Met my family here for breakfast on Saturday morning. I had the chicken fried steak with biscuits, hash browns and eggs scrambled soft. Very tasty meal. The portions were generous. Places rarely get my egg order correct but they did a good job here. Clean restaurant, clean bathrooms. The music was a bit annoying. Wait staff very friendly and helpful. My family enjoyed their meals alot. Ended up with a vanilla shake that was good and thick. The younger kids really enjoyed this place along with the older folks. I know that when I come here (no matter which location) I am gong to get a good filling meal at a good price, no more, no less.

I love 5 and Diners and I feel bad giving this one a bad review but really there were so many mistakes made I just can't bring it up to 3 stars. On the good side I really liked our server Valerie. On the bad side I ordered a cheeseburger with chips and what I was brought was a bacon burger or bacon cheeseburger, whichever, with fries. I noticed the fries right away and told her I had ordered chips so she took it back and switched them, but I didn't notice that the cheeseburger had bacon on it until after I took a bite. It did taste good so I decided to go ahead and eat it and see which one I was charged for. The bacon one of course was a dollar more. She had asked how I wanted the meat prepared and one of the things I liked about 5 and Diner is the fact that you could get your meat cooked just the way you like it. I told her medium rare. She repeated it back to me but when the hamburger arrived it was actually more medium than rare. It tasted great but there was no pink in it at all so that was a disappointment. One reason I'd been anxious to return to the Arizona Mills location was because the meat was so delicious and cooked perfectly, grilled outside, pink inside. It was still good so I decided to go ahead and eat it. She didn't come back to fill our water until we asked although she did ask us several times did we need anything. I did have tummy issues the next day. I won't go into details. The milkshake was delicious. I forgot to order malt in it which is 50 cents more. She was nice enough to divide it between 2 to-go cups because the kids were getting fussy so we had 2 generous cups with chocolate cherry milkshake for about $4.59. Both of the hamburger meals were just pennies away from 10 dollars each which I personally think it's kind of high for a hamburger. We had the opportunity to ask Valerie if she knew what had happened to the 5 and Diner at Arizona Mills and she told us she had been the owner of it and it broke her heart to have to close it but the shopping center assessed some very high tax fees on the business that was more than she could afford to pay even though business was booming. You know you can't just pay all your income out on taxes, rent and such, you gotta make something. I would honestly hesitate to go back to this location because of all the errors that were made and the tummy problems I had the next day. Maybe next trip I will try the Scottsdale location because it seems to have really good reviews.

We are regulars at this 5 & diner, hostess was amazing, waitress valarie at first was OK.. Althought very dry sense of humor, had 2 ask us twice about what our drinks were. Never brought us our appitizers was irriated we asked for ranch and butter. Got 1 refill our whole visit this was when she wanted to bring us our check. Husband got up to pay for the bill and she said in a very rude voice "ill take your check" never did she say shed be our cashier. She then took our check gave us our change. And proceed to rudly tell the table behind us sorry for the interuption you now have my undivided, uniterupted attention!!!! Totally changed my opinion of one of my favorite diners!

Mixed review. Food was very good. Friday night met cousins after a 7 hour drive from California for a late dinner, had the chicken pot pie, was delish as was the French Dip, service was outstanding, very friendly waitress, Jill. My father and I decided to go have breakfast on Sunday before we left home. Big mistake, don't know if it was the owner but a lady with short bob type haircut, greeted us at the door and quickly sat us off to the left where there were no other patrons, being Mexican, my elderly father took notice quickly, I made the mistake of sitting him facing the front door and he counted and watched as the same lady sat more clients to the right where the bulk of the customers were. Needless to say breakfast food was marred by this incident, I could see him watching as people entered and were seated with the majority, finally they sat another couple with a child (Caucasian) behind us, but we were the only two clients sitting in the whole area, our waitress was excellent, her name escapes me now but we knew it was not her fault. The lady with the short hair may or may not have done it intentionally, but my father felt slighted, segregated and discriminated upon, we did not say anything but will not visit this establishment again due to this.

Over all I was pretty impressed here. Service was slow, but not to bad. Food was very good, nice portions. We had fried pickles as an appetizer - good, but maybe a little more pickles for the price would make them better. Decor is good, seems clean inside. Lots of traffic in the place.
(3)Matt S.
They are getting a 4 star because of great service. That is not to say that their food was bad, it was a solid 3 star, but normal what you would expect from a old fashion diner like this. I had sliders, they also served breakfast all day which looked good. Everyone was happy, but the stand out tonight was the service of this place. They take care of everything and really are helpful.

If you are coming for breakfast or a burger and fries and a shake, this is your place. I have tried 2 of the regular meals, the ground round dinner and the smothered chicken. I had to send the smothered chicken back because it was floating in water and the green peppers on top were pickled peppers that had a sweet taste. Not a good surprise. This is not the place to go if you are a healthy eater, which I try to be. I normally can find SOMETHING healthy on every menu, but this food was too greasy and strange tasting. The only reason we went there was a buy one, get one meal free coupon. The servers, however, are very friendly and helpful.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband & I bought a Groupon & headed over. We were excited cause we saw a GREAT special online for a burger & a shake for $9.99. As newlyweds on a tight budget..this looked like a GREAT plan. WRONG!!!! Fi should have figured out what we were in for when we pulled up to the parking lot & it was EMPTY on a Sat. Night! Now I COULD make this review soooooo much longer by going into ALL the details, but instead I will give you the highlights(I mean LOW lights!). Menus-STICKY & GREESY. Host & waitress were upset by my discussing the $9.99 burger/shake deal. "No, we don't have that avail...but EVERYONE ASKS ABOUT THAT !" Why? Cause it was on the online menu! I suggested it be removed..I think this was my 1st mistake! Sorry..short really isn't my style..I should have warned you 1st! Ok, besides the dirty menus, the floor was dirty, tables not bussed, etc.. & there was only ONE other table in their besides is! Food quantity was very generous..milk shake was great. HOWEVER...I am sooo sick(MAJOR TUMMY TROUBLES!!! Ever since we got home , & that was 6 HRS AGO!!!!!!!!!! This is really my FIRST REVIEW... But I cannot feel THE CRAPPY, & not tell the world( or at least the Yelp community! never, Never, NEVER come into this 5 & Diner!!!! Unless you don't order anything, & are only in it for the cute photo pics ONLY...You will seriously REGRET IT...over, & Over, & OVER AGAIN! Stay Away if you want anything edible..seriously...STAY FAR, FAR AWAY!!!!! PS- the ONLY reason I have it 1 Star is I couldn't post this review w/out one. If I could, this place REALLY needed NEGATIVE stars!!!! ;{

First of all, let me state that I have been a long time fan of 5 & Diner. Rarely have I had a bad experience, and never had I had bad food. This has changed however, after visiting this location. Upon entering, it was perfectly clear that the manager was training several of the hostess staff as we wait to be seated. No problem, I understand training is necessary, and the experience with less than seasoned employees will be less than stellar. I get that. What I didn't expect was a bad burger. Normally, the Blue Moon Burger is one of my favorites. At this location however, it was terrible. The burger arrived wrapped in the usual white paper. Although this time, something was different about it. The burger along with everything else was pushed to the back as it was sitting vertically. Eating it was messy because the back end was full of grease and most of the competent of bleu cheese and sauce. Seriously, it was bad. There was taste of some blue cheese toward the front, then was met by a mouthful of mostly bleu cheese at the back. Definitely was not evened out. It was more like eating a bag of melted bleu cheese as desert AFTER a saucy greasy burger. I didn't make a scene by letting the staff know the sandwich was terrible because of the training going on. I'll let them work it out. But for this fan of the franchise, I definitely will NOT be going back to this location. I want to forget about this experience and drive a little further for a different location.

Great 50s and 60s music without having to feed the jukebox. Awesome Bryers ice cream shakes ($4.99). I had the Reuben sandwich with fries this time (less than $9) and it was delicious and so big that I had to take half of the sandwich and fries home in a to-go box. Plentiful, easy parking. Friendly, helpful staff. The menus are faded and falling apart. Time to replace them. I love this place.

OMG, STAY AWAY!!! Just got back from 5 & Diner on Southern and where do I begin? Let's start with the horrible flies!! We were literally under attack from the moment we sat down, but the worst thing??? One literally flew into my fathers MOUTH!!!!! I've never seen anything like it in my life! Should have gotten a clue from the filthy window seal with dead flies in it...The food took forever, it was cold and we had to get it nuked. It cost $40 for some pancakes, eggs, hot dog and burger, but we couldn't eat because the flies decided it was theirs for the taking!! MEAN FLIES!! After they saw us batting flies our entire meal, getting cold food (in an empty restaurant) and then a fly going into my dad's mouth, the waitress asked manager Kathy Riegel to take something off the bill... She wouldn't even come up to talk to me, just told our poor waitress NO. We will NEVER, EVER go back to the 5 & Diner...!!!

I love this place for breakfast. 5 stars on every point! 2 eggs and bacon, hash browns and English muffin all just the way I ordered them. Have only had breakfast here but everytime it was good!
(5)Sarah K.
NO STARS! HORRIBLE customer service after 10 minutes got water after 10 more minutes got my bf sprite after 10 more minutes got chocolate shake after 45 minutes more turns out they never put the food order in! How do places like this stay in business?? Don't the owners care? Wasted several hours of my Saturday and left without being fed totally pissed me off! The fact the employees are careless pissed me off too no standards no accountability, all that's left is a BAD review. (Went to Fuddruckers next door in and out in 30 minutes for 3 peeps no problems at all)

Do Yourself a favor Do not eat here The convenience of the location cannot overcome the consistently disappointing food I order Breakfast Not a difficult task More than they can handle
(2)Bonnie M.
Good food. If you can over look the disgust of filthy. I did not want to touch any of the condiments. They need to take a day and do deep cleaning. The waitress I had acted as if I was bothering her. Too bad. Could be a top contender.
(2)Bob D.
Took my granddaughters there today after a hike out towards Globe. We all had a good appetite. Been coming here for years when we visit our Arizona family. Jill, our server, went out of her way to make sure my granddaughters were having a good time. Great shakes, the best I've had, anywhere, with extra in the stainless mixing container. Ordered my burger medium rare and it was. Onion rings not over greasy. Granddaughters love the 50s decor and the older one was enjoying the old tunes.

Slow service ok food.Dirty looking floors food took 45 minutes to come out everyone looked like they were just going thru the motions.This place needs a facelift.
(2)Ashley B.
Slow service... Took 10 minutes to have drink orders taken and another 10 to get them. Food took over 30 minutes to come out. Don't get the fried pickles appetizer unless you want a plate full of pickles mixed up with soggy breading. In addition... Time has not been kind to this place! Floor is filthy and there is no sense of urgency among the staff.
(1)Charlotte A.
We only ate here once and that was enough. The food is horrible. The staff including the manager are very rude and the entire establishment was filthy. Our table and seats were so sticky. Our food was super salty. My food was wrong twice until I simply gave up and went without. The wait was very long (almost an hour) and even my kids were not pleased. We will never go back.
(1)D D.
Went before a ball game for a late breakfast. 3 employees standing around the front chatting yet no one seemed to want to seat us, finally asked and we were promptly seated. Our server was very friendly. Our order was correct and the food was ok. The table side jukeboxes no longer work. My issue other than the less-than-friendly greeting was the cleanliness. Food all over, tables wiped with dirty rags ... Ugh. We definitely won't go back
(2)Dana B.
My hubby wanted a late night snack. The server was very friendly. He ordered a chocolate shake with PB, banana and more chocolate. I took a sip and thought it was "meh" but he liked it.
