Nostalgia for the 1950s comes easily at all nine locations of this Valley institution. Neon, chrome, shiny red vinyl booths and framed mementoes of icons James Dean, Elvis Presley and the like capture the ambiance of a bygone era in slick Valley fashion. Jukeboxes at the counter and outdoor dining at funky, retro tables are illuminated by red neon and a perky, diner-style wait staff. The fare is a throwback to a more gravy-friendly time with a hot meat loaf sandwich replete with creamy mashed potatoes and veggies, spaghetti, club sandwiches and daily blue-plate and senior specials. Serving three meals daily (all day long), house specialties are pancakes and omelets, burgers and seasoned fries, hot dogs and onion rings. Got a sweet tooth? Their malts and shakes are famous and touted as "best in the West." This location on N. 16th St. is open 24 hours. -- Jill McCabe

    This place is the coolest. I moved to Scottsdale 3 years ago from New York, totally unable to find a good diner. This place has got it all, the jukebox at every table, the 50 music and atmosphere, GREAT food, very friendly staff, and best of all, it is affordable. The burgers are huge and always taste great. Go into the 5 & Diner almost 2 or 3 times a week. Never had a bad experience, always left happy and satisfied. Best place in town. WIish there was one on every corner.

  • good food

    I was there last weekend and I can honestly say it was about the best burger I have had since I have been in Arizona ( 1 1/2 years ). My wife and daughter both had a club and they liked them. The fries are very good. The service was outstanding ! The look and feel of the place is very good. I would and will return.
