Although, I am admittedly, friends with nearly every employee since they opened and also living across the street up until a month ago...this was my FIRST, My last...my everything. No seriously, the smell of bacon woke me at OPEN, and the laughter and boozy Whiskey drinks coo me right back to bed at night.
Happy hour is key. Munchies? FORGET ABOUT IT... open until 2am and you will not hear a grumble or groan come from the kitchen about a 1:45am well-done order, for the supremely legit Welcome burger (no onion, add bacon and ALLL THE PICKLES YOU HAVE IN THE JOINT.

The food is a bit spendy if you happen to be unaware of the locally sourced and spectacular ingredients used. Cocktails, also spendy. However they are masterfully mixed with only the best quality mixes and OH THOSE CHERRIES...... but you shouldn't be sucking down 4 sazerac's anydamnhow. (Mind your Happ-Hour times people)

I dearly miss the Bratwurst, the tastiest meat-bread combo full of tastebud delight. Bring it back yalll....BRING IT BACK. The film festivals, rotating fence art, are just a few phenomenal displays of the community dedication and loooove, along with the Garfield Community Garden Jenn is often caught working in and harvesting fresh bounty from. You won't find a better quality menu, quaint ambiance nor community-oriented group of people to be more than happy to support than these darlings.

PRO-Tip Don't order the Big Jim on a hot date. It's a drool worthy-gravy-disaster that will likely toss you into a deep comatose type sleep, faster than your able to get a hand up the shirt.

Tip your servers please.
From Phoenix, with love,

I loved this place. I will be coming back again for sure. The biscuits and gravy were awesome. My new favorite place for sure. Thank you

Food:

Great for a specialty late-night doughnut and a beer in the summer heat. And conveniently located next to a GRID/Bikeshare rack. Five stars.

Food:

Holy balls! The special today was a pork meatball sandwich with chipotle marinara and it was so amazing I ordered another one to go. Welcome Diner FTW!

Due to our initial love for their biscuits and gravy, we went back. Twice. Both times, however, they were CLOSED randomly during the day. :'( The first attempt at 1:30pm and then a few weeks later at 11:30am. Closed, even though posted business hours indicated it shouldn't have been so. No signage or explanation -- nothing. It's just not a good way to conduct business, right? As a result, we are hesitant to return because we don't want our biscuits and gravy cravings to be disappointed thrice. And, their initial perfect 5-star raving review has been deducted per closure.

The BEST fried chicken with bacon biscuit sandwich and biscuit with gravy plate! Awesome and friendly service too! Thank you for a great time!
