Was in the area with my daughter. Stopped in for a brunch and place was clean. Lady at the front was super nice. Food was good and cheaper then I expected. Worth it if you are in the area.

Its located in an odd place and small. Its in the Sanderson Ford parking lot off of Maryland Ave. Despite its location, its a fun place to eat and the food we had was great. Its what I would expect a 1950s diner to look and feel like. Give it a try.

This place is a SECRET GEM! You feel transported in time as soon as you pull up to the building. The 50’s and 60’s music and magical customer service is the cherry on top of the initial experience.
They serve classic All American breakfast and lunch menu items. We were all happy with our food. Eggs were fluffy and fresh. The omelette had a sky high cheese pull and the hash browns had the perfect crispy crunch. The Chicken fingers are lightly breaded and flavorful. I got three pieces and they are thick pieces of white meat with a side of fresh cut french fries that will cross your eyes!
We got to chat with our server Kara about the business and the novelty of the restaurant. We were taken care of like we were family and laughed and enjoyed our interactions. She helped us get a family picture that we will treasure with our baby. She had us try the cookies and I would have regretted not getting one they were heavenly. We Will definitely be back.

Brutally Honest Reviews
This is my go-to spot for the perfect breakfast burger, but honestly, every single item on the menu is incredible. The burger names are FORD callouts. It’s a classic 50’s-style diner that perfectly captures the nostalgic vibe with its retro décor and friendly atmosphere. The staff here is great. Always welcoming, and always attentive, making every visit enjoyable.
This is located on the Sanderson Ford lot. It’s a great place to stop by whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal.

This place was awesome and had a fun 50s diner setup with cool decor like old gas pumps and music from the 50s and 60s. The staff was super friendly, the food was great, and there’s a big menu worth coming back to try more from.
Hands down the best hidden gem I've found in the Glendale/Phoenix area. If Google had a 6-star option, this place would absolutely deserve it.
From the moment you walk up, you know you're stepping into something special. It’s an old-school diner located right on the Sanderson Ford property, and the vibe is spot-on. Before you even sit down, you’re greeted with a warm smile and a solid cup of coffee by Kara, who makes you feel right at home.
The interior feels like a trip back in time—in the best way possible. Classic, clean, and full of character. But let’s get to what really matters: the food.
On my first visit, I had “The Fiesta”—an all-meat combo breakfast burrito with two sides of Bruce’s salsa. That salsa should honestly be sold by the 50-gallon barrel—yes, it’s that good. Easily the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had, and I don’t say that lightly.
I also tried “The MKX” Philly cheesesteak. The bread is baked in-house, and after chatting with Bruce and Paul (the chefs behind the grill), I found out most of the food here is made from scratch. You can taste the care and pride in every bite.
And here’s something that makes this place even cooler: almost all the burgers, sandwiches, and breakfast items are named after Ford trucks and cars. It’s a fun and fitting nod to the location—and somehow it just adds to the whole experience.
Since that first visit, this place has become my go-to. I came back again and tried “The Model A” mushroom and Swiss burger—another knockout. And yep, I grabbed another “Fiesta” burrito to go because some things are just too good not to repeat.
The portion sizes are generous, the prices are almost unbelievable, and the quality? Top notch. I challenge you to find anywhere else around here offering this kind of food, at this level, for these prices.
One thing to note: they’re only open Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. So get in while the griddle’s hot—you won’t regret it.
If you love great food made by people who genuinely care, this place is a must. Try it, and let me know what you think. You’ll thank me later.

I ordered a patty melt and onion rings. The onion rings were not fresh and the patty melt wasn't very tasty

I had never been to Sanderson Ford but had to get a recall taken care of. What a great way to wait - at a diner! The place is so adorable - right out of the past and the lady at the counter is so nice! The food was made to order and really good. Liked it so much, I came for an oil change and breakfast again today.
