Cozy little diner with fast service. Twice Deb has taken my order and it was perfect and reasonably priced. I have only tried the breakfast so far.
The great: panckes! Not like ihop; the real kind that are thin and griddle-yummy. Biscuits and gravy; apparently I was wrong about hating chorizo because the gravy is about as good as you'll get in phoenix. The only better is the cream gravy at Texaz on the chicken fried steak. The breakfast potato cubes are delicious and well seasoned.
The good: corned beef hash could have been a bit crispier. The eggs I requested very softly scrambled could have been a bit runnier; it seems they were just scrambled as usual. The chicken fried steak was okay, but clearly came from a bag of frozen steaks. Even the delicious gravy it was smothered in could not mask this observation. At the $10.99 price, i expect more from a diner. f you want a genuine chicken fried steak, wait until Texaz Grill opens and get a monster real one for less. I am from Texas soiknow what I'm talking about here.
The bad: the sausage patties. I hate to dis a sausage anything, but the patty was cold and 'gamey'. Go for extra bacon if you can. Bacon was a bit cold and hard, but still better than the sausage.
Overall, I like their food and will return to try the Monte Cristo which sounds fantastic.
