I was in Mesa on business and a friend suggested we grab lunch; I really don't know much about Mesa restaurants so I did what we all do . . ."hey Google". Anyway, we stopped in on a whim.
Boy am I glad we discovered this place. It's in the Mesa City Plaza building so it's a bit challenging to find if you've never been there. Google maps says "you're there" when you're on Main Street, but it's actually just a bit north, on the other side of the building.
Anyway, this place is decorated very eclectically. Like Walt Disney on LSD was their decorator - I actually liked it because it wasn't stuffy. It's CLEARLY not a chain restaurant. I sat down outside on the little patio. Lana was our server and she was the perfect balance of attentiveness but not overbearing.
I ordered the Hashknife burger. Full disclosure - I'm a burger snob to the 10th power. This hamburger was one of the best I've had in a long time. Big, juicy and cooked just like I asked. It was seasoned well too.
They're only open Monday through Thursday for breakfast and lunch, but I HIGHLY suggest making the trek (in my case; maybe you're closer).
