My husband and I decided to try out Dino’s yesterday 03/27/2024. We did not realize the restarting closes at 8:00 PM and how long of line there would be. However, we arrived at 7:10 and placed our name on the waitlist that was written on a piece of paper. Finally around 7:40 we were next on the list so I asked if we could sit at the bar like requested. The bartender that was on shift, asked if we had put our name down and I replied yes. Still had no answer if we could sit. Then the bartender came over and said I don’t see your name on this list, without even asking me for my name. I said it was on the next piece of paper, where she only lifted the page half way, and said it’s not on there as I requested her to pull it further up she then realized our name was indeed on the list. So I then asked again, are we able to sit at the bar, and she rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders. At this point, I felt as I was a big inconvenience and it ruined the rest of the night. I would’ve rather gone somewhere else at that point but we had waited a very long time, and it was later in the night.The food was good, but I am also a bartender in the industry and I would never make my customers feel this way, especially their first time. I’m very disappointed and for that, I won’t be back.

Wow, what a neat place downtown Apache Junction quaint No Frills just excellent food and the most courteous service. The red sauce totally homemade scrumptious. Everything fresh everyday homemade and much appreciated. The spaghetti and meatballs and the salad that goes with it and the garlic bread oh my gosh. What a bargain. And then of course it's excellent leftovers there's so much. We are fortunate to have them here so convenient many thanks good day great view of the Superstition from there also!

Visiting family in Phoenix and staying at the Koa campground in the Apache Junction area. We found this restaurant online and decided to stop here for dinner. The place was crowded at 7p so we opted to sit at the bar to have our dinner. The bartender was very nice and attentive. I had the spaghetti dinner and my husband had a pizza. The food was very delicious and the servings were very large. We both had to go boxes and were full from our meal. We really like our food.There were folks picking up orders and folks dining in. Their staff was hopping and busy. It did get noisy because of the crowd but we did enjoyed our visit.

Food is always extra delicious here. Bartender wanted to go home and it showed, not the best service. Been here many times before and have gotten good service though.
