This diner, established in 1928, claims to be one of the oldest in Phoenix so it was our first stop upon arrival. For two Londoners in America this diner was EXACTLY what we wanted from our American road trip.
The waitresses looked great with their vintage uniforms and cool hairstyles, and they were so friendly and helpful. There was a lovely relaxed vibe, an old-style jukebox, a soda fountain from which you could have any number of tasty concoctions, and great menu selection. There's even a little vintage shop tacked onto the side which you have to pass through to use the rest rooms...I loved it!
This place is perfect for tourists although we did meet a couple of friendly locals keen to hear about our road trip so far, and at least you know you're getting the real-deal in an original diner rather than a tacky imitation or chain restaurant.
