This 5 & Diner was in our backyard and brings back memories of the times we spent there. Location Just north Camelback on the NW corner of 16th Street & Coulter, Phoenix. Parking 5/5 There is a Large private parking lot that wraps around the Diner. Atmosphere 5/5 This restaurant is a tribute to the 50's & 60's when America youth hung out in their Cars looking to meet up. This restaurant is a wonderful replication of that Era. Booth seating, music boxes at the tables, bar counter for those who prefer hi-top seating to chat with the waitresses. Service 5/5 We always had friendly attentive service which understandably was a bit slower on the patio. Food 5/5 We did breakfasts and special event evening meal here. Classic eggs, hash browns toast or their Burgers Special events 5/5 The Resturant occasionally hosts car shows, and Movie nights on an outdoor big screen to give the parking lot that drive-in move atmosphere! I took our oldest son to see Bob Dole when his campaign tour bus stopped at the 5 & diner to do a stump speech to a large crowd. My son wrote a book report on his experience for school. Lots of interesting things besides great food can be found here.

Hi! I came in on February 13th at around 8pm to do a school project at this diner. I found it very enjoyable as the waiters and staff were very welcoming and friendly. I had the sour dough French toast with a banana milkshake on the side. I got my food in roughly 10 minutes which comes with no complain as it all came out warm and ready to eat! If you are looking for a nice time to relax and enjoy some diner food this is a great location!

I just had to comment on how great the staff and energy was in here tonight. It was like a time capsule, Tammy was a fantastic server. I got pancakes and chicken tenders - delicious (and their ranch was good, almost asked for a side to take home) I will be back!

Five and Diner. I will confess right here, right now that the family and I have dined here more than forty years. We keep returning. Now mostly on oil change days at the local car dealers. We are dwindling as our septuagenerians and centenarians depart. November 26, 2024 We branched on a veggie omelet, hash browns, a fruit bowl, coffee and orange juice, accompanied by Elvis, Otis Redding, the Supremes, etc from the juke box. The hash browns alone were enough to keep me coming back 40 more years. Brown and crispy - a hash brown model. The omelettw was chock full of veggies, oh and coffee just fine. Our server Kevin was attentive, keeping the coffee flowing. He concluded our meal with a16% senior discount, covering taxes. Thank you Kevin.

A good bet for some safe, filling comfort food. They have most everything you can think of to eat that a classic American diner would serve. Open 24/7, I bet the diner would be awesome after a late night out or as a hangover cure, as well as for some good simple lunch options. This is a 50's style diner with hula hoops available on the dog-friendly patio and juke boxes at most booths. There's a long bar with swivel chairs facing the mirrored wall with fun, 50's style murals painted along the wall and a specials menu board displayed. Exterior looks like a huge silver Airstream with colorful lettering advertising menu specials & classics. Service is very friendly and attentive. This is a casual and friendly spot. We ordered: - Diner Wings with ranch and blue cheese (nice big bowls of dipping sauce, wings a little dry but ok) - Guacamole Burger with Fries (very delicious and juicy according to Hubs. Our server mentioned they have won awards here for their burgers) - Patty Melt with Fries & Ranch (bread and meat a little on dry side and melt could use more flavor but solid, filling choice) - Cali Benedict & Hashbrowns (perfect Hashbrowns and delicious, moist and flavorful eggs according to my daughter) - Coffee (strong and decent, not like some of the watery stuff and some diners) cream and sugar options at the table - Cherry Coke (yay! My fave and a diner necessity) - Sourdough French Toast with whipped cream and blueberry for the table (nice but a little dry for me. Maybe we should get butter also next time. A butterscotch or berry syrup would be a good addition too) - Apple Pie a la Mode - Apple Crumble (Housemade! Yummm! Look at the big scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was so good) - Root Beer Float (comes with an extra cup of root beer to pour into float as needed) There is a men's and women's restroom available for customers inside. A huge private parking lot is available with lots of parking options surrounding this diner.

Ate the Garlic Mushroom burger so quickly, that I missed the photo. Sorry. But it was tasty! Nice to have the option to trade fries for a small salad. The chocolate cherry shake was probably too much for the meal size, but yea, I went there and not sorry. And a nice surprise with bits of cherries in the bottom as well. Love the 50's motif. Always fun. The indoor seating is limited but there are quite a number of tables outside as well. Come on it for some friendly service and solid food options. My first time here was a nice one.
