| - Part of the charm of this place is that it is in a poor residential neighborhood in downtown Phoenix, not far from 7th St. Also, you could easily drive by and not even notice it exists. So charming and the loveliest of dives you will ever visit (or shizzhoels as I call them).
Now, about the food and experience. When you walk inside there is only about 8 or so counter seats in what looks like a converted studio home/living room. The feeling when you walk in however, is that someone beamed you into the 1950's. Authentic and totally retro.
Now, the best for last... the food is not your typical diner food. Much more creative and original than any diner I have ever been to. And being from NY I KNOW diners! Practically grew up in them. This diner, while having a VERY limited menu (when compared to any NY diner), each and every dish is incredible. Try the Big Jim! It will wow you... Fried Chicken breast with cheddar, bacon, homemade biscuit buns and gravy. Wowah! (Oh, and definitely not the dish or the place to be if you wanna eat healthy! More the once in a blue moon calorie splurge place... at least for me.)
Oh and order off the menu the "Cannibal Fries". Simply off the chain. Fresh cut potato fries with caramelized onions, cheddar and homemade russian dressing. (Deep Breath!)
